Chapter 562 The origin of the old lady

Seeing that, Shen Rui and Shen He's legs became weak.

The two children embraced.

Shen Rui was indeed a big brother. Even when he was scared stiff, he did not forget to protect his sister. He firmly protected Shen He in his arms.

Shen He snuck into Shen Rui's embrace, and her small body started to tremble non-stop.

Shen Rui said in a trembling voice: "Gramps, we were wrong, we didn't come in on purpose! If you want to punish, punish me. "My sister doesn't know anything. I forcefully pulled her in."

The old lady's outstretched hand stopped in midair.

"Oh?" The old lady smiled.

It would have been better if she hadn't laughed. That smile of hers was even more sinister and terrifying.

Shen Rui continued to shake as he said, "We really know our wrongs! We shouldn't be running around. Let my sister go. "

"He's a responsible man." The old lady retracted her hand, and with a voice still as sinister as ever, she asked, "Which family are you children from? Why are you here? "

"We are here as guests." Shen Rui bit his lips and replied. This old lady was really scary!

Shen He was so scared that even her soul flew away.

Ever since she was young, what she had seen were people of great beauty and worth. Even the worst among them were ordinary people.

When had she ever seen someone with such a terrifying appearance in real life?

A little girl who was fed up with her uncle's beauty everyday finally found it unbearable after seeing such a huge gap between them.

"I knew it, the Feng Family Seeds would not have such backbone." The old lady taunted. She looked at Shen He, who was scared witless, and frowned, looking more fearsome.

"The little girl is so pretty! Once she grew up, she would definitely become another peerless beauty. Beauty? Hahaha! What's the use of a beauty? " The old lady's dry voice sounded like metal as it cut through the air. It was exceptionally ear-piercing.

Shen He was so scared that she did not dare move. She could only hide in Shen Rui's embrace like an ostrich.

But Shen Rui was also only three years old, he couldn't even carry his.

"Are you guys that afraid of me?" The old lady finally asked, "Since you're afraid, why are you still coming?"

Shen Rui braced himself and replied: "Old granny, we are curious about why the architecture here is different from the ones outside. We really have no intention of disturbing you. "

"Humph!" The little devil had good eyes! "Follow me!" The old lady turned and left, "My surname is Qian, I am already a widowed old woman, you can just call me Grandma Qian."

"Yes, Grandma Qian." Shen Rui did not dare to disobey, and slowly followed while holding Shen He's hand.

Grandma Qian led them into the house.

Shen Rui looked around timidly, and when he did, Shen He noticed a painting on the wall. He exclaimed in surprise, and subconsciously shouted out: "This is a work of the Qing Dynasty's Qian Long years and An Shen's past."

Grandma Qian looked at Shen He with an extremely surprised expression: "Your eyesight is not bad."

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

Shen He, on the other hand, was a member of the standard Appearance Association.

Although she would not judge by appearances, she was truly afraid of Grandma Qian.

"It looks like you're not of low birth. Anyone with such knowledge must have a well-off family." Grandma Qian sat on an extremely ancient looking wooden chair and said, "Sit."

"Thank you, Grandma Qian." Shen Rui pulled Shen He along, and obediently sat on the chair opposite of them.

The two children huddled in a chair, comforting each other.

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

"I'm Shen Rui, she's Shen He. We are a dragon and a phoenix. " Shen Rui replied obediently.

"Shen …" Grandma Qian was lost in thought for a long time. In her mind, she couldn't find a family with the surname Shen that could produce such a beautiful, jade-like doll.

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

Grandma Qian then nodded her head, "So it's the Shen family from the northeast. No wonder. In the Republic of China, they were the big families. "

Grandma Qian took a sip of her tea and asked, "Why are you guys here?"

"We came here as guests with the Mummy." As the spokesperson for the twins, Shen Rui took the initiative to answer them, "Mummy and Uncle Feng are good friends."

"Uncle Feng?" Grandma Qian paused for a moment before reacting, "Feng Man Lun? Ha! "That brat!"

Shen Rui and Shen He did not dare to make a sound.

"You guys have the ability to find this place." Grandma Qian coldly snorted. "My place is about to become a forgotten corner. "How many years has it been? No one has come."

Shen Qi and Feng Man Lun first talked about family matters and arrangements at work.

While talking, Shen Qi looked around and could not help but say, "These two children are too naughty, where did they run off to?"

Feng Man Lun smiled and said: "It's alright, as long as you don't run outside, it's fine. There were so many servants in the house that nothing would happen to them. I've already instructed them to take care of them from a distance. Pond and well. Don't let them near. "

Hearing Feng Man Lun's words, Shen Qi relaxed and said: "I'm really sorry, these two children are too naughty."

"I'm fine …" Oh, no, I forgot something. " Feng Man Lun's face suddenly changed: "I forgot to remind you one thing!"

When Shen Qi saw Feng Man Lun's change in expression, the heart that she had just relaxed lifted again. "What's wrong?"

"The children won't be there, will they?" Feng Man Lun's face became even more peculiar: "Come, let's go take a look!"

Hearing that, Shen Qi almost panicked: "Where are you?"

"It's a long story. According to seniority, I should have called her Grandmother. But she was not my grandmother, and she was no longer part of the family. Her family's surname is Qian, and she's already very old this year. " Feng Man Lun explained: "She has always lived in the backyard of Feng Family. For many years, no one has disturbed her."

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 didn't know that he also had a grandmother.

"Let's go and talk as we go. I hope the children are not scared! " Feng Man Lun did not hesitate and led Shen Qi out.

"Scared?" Shen Qi's heart hung high in the air.

"Yes." Feng Man Lun explained as he walked in the direction of Shen Qi: "This grandmother of mine fell in love with my grandfather at first sight. Grandfather promised he would carry the palanquin home to marry her, but he was not successful now, so he could not marry her. The grandmother had believed her grandfather's words, washed herself clean, left the stage, and become the woman behind him. But later, when her grandfather took her home, she found out that her grandfather had lied to her. However, she has already washed her hands of gold and was pregnant, so she will never be able to return to her world. Thus, she can only appoint her grandfather as a concubine. "

"At that time, the country had just been liberated. There were many such things." Feng Man Lun explained: "And at that time, the main center of gravity of the Feng Family was not inside the country, so no one could control it in this area."

Shen Qi nodded.

"However, this child was not successfully born. At six months, she suddenly slipped and was a fully formed male. The person who committed the crime at that time was targeting my own grandmother. My own grandmother was the original one, and her roots were deep. She was the perfect match for my grandfather. My grandmother had admitted that she was the one who had done it, but she had also offered her grandfather a trade. As long as he didn't pursue the matter, my grandmother would provide him with a large sum of money from our family to support him in his business. "My grandfather agreed."

Shen Qi's footsteps paused, she had already met with sorrow.

Sure enough, Feng Man Lun continued, "Grandfather and my biological grandmother made a deal. As if mad, the grandmother went to her grandfather with the child's body in her arms and asked him why he was so cruel as to destroy their child. The grandfather told her that he did owe her now, but that he would make it up to her in the future. Upon hearing this answer, this former celebrity immediately became discouraged. He threw the child's corpse towards his grandfather, took out a pair of scissors from his bosom, and slashed at his own face. "

Shen Qi cried out: "What an unyielding woman!"

"She said: 'My surname is Qian and I am blind, so I will believe in you, this Middle Mountain Wolf. Back then, you only took a fancy to my appearance. Now that I've ruined it, will you still love me? " Feng Man Lun continued to speak: "Grandfather was unmoved at the time, she looked at him with a face full of despair, and said to grandfather: Since I'm blind and in love with you, what use do I have to have eyes like these? She raised her hand and cut again, forcibly blinding one of her eyes. "

Shen Qi cried out in shock once again, "Oh my god!"

"Just as 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 and talked to her alone all night. No one knew what they were talking about, but the person with the ruined face was no longer courting death. At that time, she already had nowhere to go, so my grandmother decided to build a courtyard for her in the Feng Family. "

"After a few decades of change, the Feng Family has long changed. Even the Feng Family's house had turned from a Chinese style building to a Western European style building. But no matter how much the Feng Family changed, that courtyard had never once been touched. When my grandmother died, she said that she was most sorry about the child. But there was nothing she could do. Because at that time, when the concubine was pregnant, she was not. If the concubine had given birth to the child a step earlier, her position in the family would have been shaken as well as the child's inheritance rights. "

"That's why my grandmother destroyed the child at all costs. She even successfully gave birth to my father, completely consolidating her position. Maybe it's because we owe her, but when our ancestor was about to die, he repeatedly reminded us that no matter what happens in Feng Family, we must send her off. For decades, my grandfather and she had lived in this house and never met. I haven't seen her in years. Usually, someone would take the daily necessities to the door and she would carry them herself. She never walked out of that courtyard, and never interacted with anyone outside. "
