Chapter 562 The origin of the old lady

Seeing this scene, Shen Rui and Shen He's legs really went weak.

The two children hugged each other at once.

Shen Rui was worthy of being an elder brother. Even when his legs were weak from fear, he did not forget to protect his sister. He firmly protected Shen He in his arms.

Shen He got into Shen Rui's arms, and his little body began to tremble.

Shen Rui trembled and said, "Grandma, we were wrong, we didn't break in on purpose! If you want punishment, just punish me. My sister doesn't know anything, I forced her in."

The old lady's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air.

"Oh?" The old lady smiled.

It would have been better if she didn't smile, but this smile was even more eerie.

Shen Rui continued to tremble and said: "We really know we were wrong! We shouldn't run around casually. Please let my sister go."

"You are a responsible person." The old lady retracted her hand, her voice still so gloomy: "Whose children are you from? Why are you here?"

"We are here as guests." Shen Rui bit her lip and replied, this old woman is really scary!

Shen He was so frightened that his soul flew away.

Growing up, she saw only good-looking people, and at worst, ordinary people.

When had she ever seen such a scary-looking person in real life?

A little girl who was teased by her uncle's top-notch looks every day, suddenly saw such a huge gap, she really couldn't stand it.

"Let me tell you, a descendant of the Feng family will not be so backbone." The old lady said mockingly. She looked at it and frightened Shen He. The blind eye wrinkled up and looked more and more pitiable. fear.

"The little girl is so beautiful! When she grows up, she will be a peerless beauty. Beauty? Hahaha! What's the use of beauty?" The old lady's dry voice sounded like metal scratching when she laughed, unusually harsh.

Shen He was too scared to move. She could only hide in Shen Rui's arms like an ostrich.

But Shen Rui is only three years old and can't even be hugged.

"Are you so afraid of me?" the old lady finally asked, "Why do you come here if you are afraid?"

Shen Rui answered bravely: "Grandma, we are curious about why the architectural style of the houses here is different from those outside. We really don't mean to disturb you."

"Humph! You kid is really discerning! Follow me!" The old lady turned and left: "My surname is Qian, and I am already a lonely old woman. You can just call me Granny Qian."

"Yes, Granny Qian." Shen Rui didn't dare not listen, took Shen He's hand and followed slowly.

Granny Qian took them into the house.

Shen Rui and Shen He glanced around timidly. At this glance, Shen He discovered a calligraphy and painting on the wall. He let out a sigh and subconsciously shouted out: "This is the painting and calligraphy written on the wall during the Qianlong period in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. s work."

Granny Qian glanced at Shen He in surprise: "You have good eyesight."

Shen He immediately lowered his head again, not daring to look at her.

Shen He is a member of the standard appearance association.

Although she doesn't judge people by their appearance, she is really afraid of Granny Qian.

"It seems that your background is not low. If you have such knowledge, your family must be well-off." Granny Qian sat down on a shabby old wooden chair and said, "Sit down."

"Thank you, Granny Qian." Shen Rui pulled Shen He and sat down on the chair opposite.

Two children huddled together on a chair, comforting each other.

"What's your name?" Granny Qian asked.

"My name is Shen Rui, and her name is Shen He. We are twins." Shen Rui answered obediently.

"The surname is Shen." Granny Qian was lost in thought for a long time, but she couldn't find any local family named Shen that could produce such a beautiful baby.

"We are from the Northeast." Shen Rui added.

Grandma Qian suddenly nodded: "It turns out to be the Shen family in the Northeast. No wonder. During the Republic of China, they were a wealthy family."

Granny Qian picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea and said, "Why are you here?"

"We are here with Mommy." Shen Rui, as the spokesperson for the twins, took the initiative to answer the question: "Mummy and Uncle Feng are good friends."

"Uncle Feng?" Granny Qian paused and immediately reacted: "Feng Manlun? Ha! That boy!"

Shen Rui and Shen He didn't dare to say anything.

"You can be considered capable of finding this place." Granny Qian snorted, "My place has almost become a forgotten corner. No one has come here for many years."

Shen Qi and Feng Manlun first chatted about home affairs, and then talked about work matters and arrangements.

As he spoke, Shen Qi looked around and couldn't help but say, "These two children are so naughty. Where have they gone?"

Feng Manlun said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, as long as you don't run outside, you'll be fine. There are so many servants and workers in the house, and we won't let anything happen to them. I have already ordered them to take care of them from a distance. No one is allowed to go around the ponds and wells. They're close."

Hearing what Feng Man Lun said, Shen Qi felt relieved and said, "I'm so sorry, these two children are so naughty."

"It's okay. Ah, no, I forgot something." Feng Manlun's face suddenly changed slightly: "I forgot to tell you something!"

Shen Qi saw Feng Manlun's expression change, and her heart that had just been relieved became raised again: "What's wrong?"

"The children didn't run there, did they?" Feng Manlun's expression became even weirder: "Let's go and have a look!"

When Shen Qi heard this, she almost panicked: "Where?"

"It's a long story. According to her seniority, I should call her my grandmother. However, she is not my biological grandmother, and her name has been removed from the family. Her maiden name is Qian, and she is already an octogenarian this year." Feng Manlun explained: "She has been living in the backyard of the Feng family, and no one has disturbed her for many years."

Shen Qi had never heard Feng Man Lun mention that he had a grandmother. She only knew that Feng Man Lun had a grandfather, but she didn't know that he had a grandmother.

"Let's go, talk as we go. I hope the children won't be scared!" Feng Man Lun did not hesitate and walked out with Shen Qi.

"Afraid?" Shen Qi's heart was high.

"Yes." Feng Manlun explained as he followed Shen Qi that way: "This grandmother and my grandfather fell in love at first sight. One was the eldest son of a wealthy family, and the other was a famous actor. My grandfather promised to Eight carried a sedan chair to marry and go home, but now she has no achievements, so she cannot marry. At that time, the grandmother believed her grandfather's words, washed away her glory, bid farewell to the stage, and became the woman behind him. But later, when her grandfather took her home Later, she found out that her grandfather had lied to her. But she had already washed her hands of the affair and was pregnant. She could never return to her world, so she had no choice but to be appointed as her grandfather's concubine."

"At that time, the country had just been liberated, and there were many such things." Feng Manlun explained: "And the Feng family's main focus was not at home at that time, so no one controlled this aspect."

Shen Qi nodded.

"However, the child was not born smoothly. At the age of six months, she suddenly had a miscarriage and became a male fetus. The person who committed the crime at that time targeted my biological grandmother. My biological grandmother was the original wife. , and has a deep foundation, and is a good match for my grandfather. My grandmother admitted that she did this, but she also offered an exchange to my grandfather. As long as my grandfather did not pursue this matter, my grandmother would take out a large sum of money from my natal family. , to support my grandfather’s return to China to start his own business. My grandfather agreed.”

Shen Qi's footsteps paused, she had already encountered sadness.

Sure enough, Feng Manlun continued: "My grandfather made a deal with my grandmother, and the tire slide incident was suppressed quietly. The grandmother went crazy, holding the child's body regardless of her physical weakness. Asked her grandfather why he was so cruel to destroy their child, her grandfather told her that he did owe her now, but he would compensate her in the future. When the former famous actress heard this answer, she was disheartened on the spot and handed over the child. He threw his body towards his grandfather, took out a pair of scissors from his arms and slashed his face."

Shen Qi screamed: "What a strong woman!"

"She said: I, surnamed Qian, are blind, so I believed you, a Chinese wolf. What you only admired back then was my appearance. Now that I have ruined this world-famous appearance, will you still love me?" Feng Manlun continued: "My grandfather was unmoved at the time. She looked at him with despair and said to him: Since I am blind and fell in love with you, I have no eyes, what is the use of these eyes? She raised her hand and said It was a pair of scissors that forcibly blinded one of my eyes."

Shen Qi screamed again: "Oh my God!"

"Just when she was about to kill herself in front of the child's body, she was stopped by her family. She did not die. My grandmother came over and talked to her alone all night. No one knows what they talked about. But the famous actress whose appearance was ruined no longer wanted to die. She had nowhere to go at that time, so my grandmother took the initiative and built a courtyard specifically for her in the Feng family's house."

"After decades of changes, the Feng family has long changed its appearance. Including the Feng family's house, it has also changed from a Chinese-style building to a Western European-style building. But no matter how the Feng family has changed, the yard has never been touched. .When my grandmother passed away, she once said that the thing she was most sorry for in her life was that child. But she had no choice. Because at that time, the concubine was pregnant, but she was not pregnant. If the concubine had given birth to her earlier, If she has a child, her status in the family and her child’s inheritance rights will be shaken.”

"That's why my grandmother ruined the child at all costs. She also successfully gave birth to my father, which completely consolidated her status. Perhaps because of a debt, my ancestor told us when he was dying, No matter what happens to the Feng family, she must be taken care of until her death. For decades, my grandfather and she have lived in this house, but they have never met. I haven’t seen her in several years. Normally. Someone would bring her daily necessities to the door, and she would take them in by herself. She never left the yard and never communicated with people outside."
