Night Dive Temple Hall

  Since sending off Madame Zhuang, Madame had been motionless, and Song Lingyu also hadn't received any news from Lian Le.

  At the end of April, Song Lingyu decided to go to the ancestral temple with Zilan and Huizhen.

  That night, there was no moonlight, and Song Lingyu didn't let either of them carry a lantern, they just walked forward in the darkness.

  The ancestral hall is where the spirits of deceased ancestors are enshrined, and there are special people to take care of it. The door is usually not closed, but there are often people guarding outside.

  Song Lingyu brought Zi Lan and Hui Zhen to the outside of the ancestral hall, where two people were standing at the door. Song Lingyu had already let the two maids change into guard clothes, making it easier for them to blend in.

  Two maidservants walked towards two guards, Yu Zhen lowered her voice and said: "We've come to take over the shift, you two can go down and rest first."

  Two guards were somewhat curious and asked: "Why did you come to change shifts so early today?"

  "Can't you let us get some rest? Today, the boss has prepared some wine and meat for everyone to taste. We've already eaten, but the boss said we can't let you guys go hungry, so he had us come over a bit earlier."

  The guard scratched his head and laughed: "So that's how it is. Well, brother, we won't be polite, let's go first."

  Yu Zhen and Zhi Lan nodded slightly, and only when the two guards had walked far away did they let out a sigh of relief.

  Two girls stood at the door and waved at Song Lingyu.

  Song Lingyu walked out from behind a large stone and, when she reached the entrance, said to two maidservants "be careful" before heading into the ancestral hall.

  The ancestral hall was not as dark as the outside, with more candles lit inside, and every corner was illuminated. Song Lingyu looked around to see where the memorial tablet was placed, because she had never been to this place before. For her, the Song Mansion was a prison, and this place was a forbidden land.

  Song Lingyu searched for a long time and finally found the place where the memorial tablet was placed in a bright spot.

  Song Lingyu walked in, feeling that the place was eerie and frightening. But thinking again, she had already died once, what else was there to be afraid of?

  In the very center, she visited several spirit tablets. Song Lingyu walked over and looked at each one. There were names written on them, and among the many spirit tablets, Song Lingyu immediately saw the one with Shangguan Chen's name on it. However, this still couldn't confirm that Shangguan Chen was her mother, after all, Song Yuan could marry two wives, so he could naturally marry a third one too.

  So, she looked at the other spirit tablets one by one. The Song family's naturally wouldn't be her mother, and excluding the Song family's, the other spirit tablets seemed to have some age on them as well, with a clear order of seniority. Behind Shangguan Chen, there wasn't even a single spirit tablet.

  With this, it can be basically determined.

  Her birth mother was Shangguan Wan'er.

  Time is limited, Song Lingyu can't stay here for long, or else she'll be caught and become a laughing stock.

  Song Lingyu walked out and nodded at the two maidservants before returning to the back of the large stone where she was originally.

  Soon, two guards came over and said to the two girls, "Shift change, shift change, you can go now."

  "Alright, brother, take your time." After saying this in a low voice, learning from the ordinary guards' teasing tone, Yu Zhen left with Xi Lan.
