The residence of this old aunt of the Song family is in a very private place in the Song residence.
If it hadn't been for someone's guidance, I probably wouldn't have thought there were people living here.
It's probably because the elderly like to stay away from crowds and live in quiet places.
The middle-aged woman took them into the courtyard, motioned them to wait a moment, and then knocked on the door.
It was obviously broad daylight and it was still hot summer, but the door of my aunt's room was closed.
As if receiving a response from the door, the woman came forward and bowed.
"The old lady said that only the gentleman can go in alone. Please wait outside for a while."
When she spoke, she emphasized "a person" and even raised her eyes slightly to give Zhuang Youjie a look.
The look in his eyes seemed to say that even though he could bring the two of them here, the only one who could see his aunt in the end was Liang Yuanque.
Liang Yuanque frowned. He didn't have a good impression of people who pretended to be mysterious.
I don’t know what kind of medicine the Song family sells in the gourd. Is there really an old lady in this room?
What if you push open the door and go in, and there are a bunch of burly men ambushing you inside, starting to fight on sight?
However, if the Song family also intends to silence or teach a lesson, there is no reason to leave Zhuang Youjie behind.
Thinking of this, Liang Yuanque took a deep breath and decided to meet this "aunt".
Seeing him nodding in agreement, Zhuang Youjie's eyes were full of worry. Liang Yuanque looked back at him and told him with his mouth,
"If you have a problem, run immediately to find Huang."
With Mr. Huang's team here, the Song family should not dare to make any mistakes.
After telling Master Zhuang, Liang Yuanque walked up to the door and was about to open the door when he suddenly frowned and looked back at the middle-aged woman who brought them here.
"Aren't you coming in?"
"The old lady only lets you in alone." The woman remained expressionless.
Yes, Liang Yuan Quexin said, then let me see what kind of monster you are.
The furnishings in the room are simple and unsophisticated, and because the doors and windows are closed, the light is very dim.
But after all, it was daytime, and he could still see an old woman sitting dignifiedly on a low couch in the center of the room.
"Sir, you are younger than you thought."
Seeing him come in, the old woman spoke first.
"Haha," Liang Yuanque laughed awkwardly, "You are younger than you think."
"Sir, do you like to joke?"
"I don't like it." Liang Yuanque immediately suppressed his smile.
I just have a hot tooth. Let it cool down.
"Auntie, uh, can I call you auntie?" he asked.
"random."
She sounds like an old lady with quite a personality.
Liang Yuanque got to the point, "Auntie, why did you call me here specifically?"
"For your business," the old lady said, sighing softly, "If you want to know the story of the Song family's past, I can tell you."
"Please speak." Liang Yuanque nodded towards her, not sure whether she saw it or not.
"The Song family does not allow concubines because the old man, my father, died in a concubine."
"Mr. Song also talked about these."
"Then what I want to talk about is what he doesn't know about the concubine's death."
As the aunt spoke, she clicked her tongue, as if she was dissatisfied with Liang Yuanque's interruption.
The Song family made its fortune from the old man's generation.
The old man was born in poverty. After becoming rich, he indulged in enjoyment. He didn't have enough to eat and drink, and he also wanted to have fun.
The object of this fun is women.
At that time, the old lady's famous concubines occupied all the houses of the Song family.
This dead concubine was robbed by the old man. She was originally the daughter of a farmer's family in a nearby village. Before she was robbed, she had been engaged to her beloved brother.
The old man liked this concubine very much, which aroused the jealousy of other women in the house, and they joined forces to stumbling her.
Later, she became pregnant, and some other concubines went too far, almost causing her to miscarry, causing the old man to be furious.
Several concubines took advantage of this and put the blame for this harm on the head of the main wife.
The wife of the wife was the old man's first wife. She had been with him all the way when he was poor. However, after the Song family became rich, she was rejected because of her old age and sensuality.
The old man had long disliked this yellow-faced woman and punished her without careful investigation.
Although there was no mention of divorce, the wife couldn't bear the unclear grievance and hung her neck in anger.
The concubine was so shocked by the wife's death that she gave birth to a deformed monster prematurely.
The freak was actually born with energy, but the old man disliked the bad luck and was afraid of affecting the newly prosperous family fortune, so he ordered people to kill it alive and then bury it.
Everyone in the Song family united and lied to the concubine that the child was not pregnant enough and would die after birth.
The concubine's vitality was also damaged by this birth, and she has been sick ever since, looking half-dead.
When she became like this, the old man naturally lost interest. Later, he met a younger and more beautiful beauty and left her behind.
Later, rumors spread in the inner house that she had a private meeting with her former lover while the old man was not paying attention.
Although the old man no longer dotes on her, he does not allow the woman he regards as his private property to be touched by others, and he is furious about this.
He thoroughly investigated the inner court, but he didn't know whether it was true or not. He actually found evidence of an affair between his concubines and wanted to bring the woman to justice.
At the same time, I don’t know who let the concubine know the true cause of death of her child.
Before she was killed, she cursed the Song family loudly that they would not have a good death, and that the Song family would have no descendants.
She was eventually killed and disappeared into the Song family mansion.
The old man didn't care about her curse. After all, he had many wives and concubines and so many children.
But after a few years, his concubines began to die inexplicably, and many children also died young.
In the end, only the child born to the main wife survived.
Among them was my aunt.
The old man was old, and his aunt's brother, who is now Mr. Song's grandfather, took over the Song family.
When Mr. Song heard about the curse on his concubine, he was afraid and wanted to find a master to see if he could solve the problem.
In the end, it was a Feng Shui master who came to help them solve the problem.
The Feng Shui master told Mr. Song that from now on, the Song family was not allowed to divorce their wives or take concubines in order to ensure the safety of their heirs and the continuation of their incense.
Old Mr. Song kept his husband's words in mind, and this is how the Song family's rules came into being.
When Liang Yuanque heard this, he thought, there are a lot of dirty things going on in the Song family.
After telling the past story, my aunt suddenly asked Liang Yuanque, "I heard that your surname is Liang?"
He didn't bother to explain, so he nodded in agreement.
The aunt sighed again and whispered, "The Feng Shui master back then was also named Liang. He may be your elder."
When Liang Yuanque heard this, he narrowed his eyes and asked quickly,
"Then what's his name?"
His aunt's reply was very soft, but it was like thunder exploding in his ears.
"His name is Liang Yuanque."
