Kaylen took the incense handed to her by the maid, and bowed in front of the memorial tablet.
Andrea learned to bow cautiously, as soon as her knees touched the icy cold blue bricks, a bone–chilling coldness instantly climbed up.
After paying respects to the seventh ancestor, her legs were already starting to shake.
Alissa quickly caught her elbow and whispered a reminder.
“The Shillingford family’s new daughter–in–law had to pay respects to all the ancestors in the ancestral hall.”
Andrea forced herself to kneel up straight, looking at Kaylen as she walked towards the next shrine, and finally couldn’t help but ask softly.
“Did the men of the Shillingford family not have to bow to the new bride? Did Quinn do the same?”
The ancestral hall suddenly fell into a strange silence.
Kaylen suddenly tightened her grip on the incense, and the servants looked at each other in shock.
Alissa’s face changed slightly, and she hesitated to speak.
In the awkward atmosphere, Quinn hurried over and saw Andrea’s pale face. He immediately went up and helped her up.
Kaylen hesitated with the incense in her hand, she stared at Quinn wrapping Andrea’s/arm, but in the end, she didn’t say the reproach out

loud.
Quinn’s lips were tightly pursed.
“Grandma, Andie has been feeling tired and weak these days, really not suitable for kneeling for a long time.”
Andrea quietly tugged at his sleeve, not wanting him to defy his elders.
Kaylen put the incense into the incense burner.
“Well, since you feel sorry, just wait until you officially join the family before paying respects to our ancestors.”
Andrea unconsciously let out a sigh of relief.
“Thanks for understanding, I’ll take Andie back to the yard to rest first.”
Quinn’s yard was on the east side of the old house. Before they could get close, suddenly seven or eight young figures came out from the door.
The sharp–eyed leader of the boys immediately yelled out.
“Bro! You hid it well, didn’t tell me your girlfriend is so pretty!”
“That’s right!”
The girl with a high ponytail bounced in front of Andrea, especially excited.
“Ms. Rehbein, come on, tell me, does my brother always have a straight face? We bet he was clumsy when he was trying to pursue you!”
Andrea’s cheeks turned red with this sudden enthusiasm.

She didn’t expect, the younger generation of the Shillingford family to be so lively and enthusiastic, they were like a completely different group from the dining room.
Amidst the laughter of the crowd, she sneakily glanced at Quinn.
He was leaning against the door frame, with a gentle smile on his lips..
Maverick Shillingford’s gaze kept shifting back and forth between the two of them.
“You have to be more understanding. My brother has always been focused on the family business. Last New Year’s Eve, he even stared at the company’s financial statements and called us over to be human calculators.”
Claudia Shillingford, my cousin with a high ponytail, immediately chimed in.
“No way! He even takes the clues in the game of Werewolf seriously, turning emotions into a forensic scene!”
Amid the laughter, Andrea’s tense shoulders gradually relaxed.
Quinn reached out and pulled/her closer to him.
“Keep talking nonsense, believe it or not, I’ll have Deacon check your pocket money transactions for this month.”
“Prioritize love over brotherhood!”
“Ms. Rehbein, help!”
Two cries of anguish rang out simultaneously.
Quinn shook his head in resignation.
