Chapter 40: Old Grudges
It's actually bloody to talk about the past. An Ruyi had heard about it in her previous life.
Liu Heng's grandmother Yang is his grandfather's original match, and her family background is not obvious, but she is just a down-and-out daughter, but she was unfortunate to have a chance encounter and was favored by his grandfather and insisted on marrying back.
Liu Heng's grandfather was born in a family of martial arts, and his ancestors had a few high-level military attachés, in this world of martial arts, they have their own set of unique learning, even if there have been no high-level generals for many years, but the whole family is also well-known in the Zhou State, and it is not bad.
How could such a family look down on a girl from a down-and-out showman, and still marry back as a wife. It would be good to be able to enter the door as a concubine, at most a second room. However, Liu Heng's grandfather was very paranoid back then, and Liu Heng's great-grandfather and great-grandmother couldn't resist him, so they had to compromise in the end.
The private affairs of a high-ranking family are something that a woman from a small household who has never touched it can't imagine in her life. Yang just entered the door and fell into the trick, and he was not pregnant for many years, and in the end he tried all kinds of methods, and after eating a lot of bitter medicine and home remedies, he only gave birth to Liu Heng's father and a son, and such a son was also sick.
During this period, because she had been inpregnant for many years, the Yang family suffered the ridicule of her in-laws, and in the end, on the grounds that she had no children, Liu Heng's grandfather accepted one concubine after another, including his cousin, the niece of Yang's mother-in-law, Liu.
Liu's stomach was angry, and less than three years after entering the door, he gave birth to the only two sons of Liu Heng's grandfather. By this time, Yang had not yet become pregnant. Liu was originally the candidate for the wife chosen by Yang's mother-in-law for her son back then, and now she used this as a reason to persuade her son that she could not let his son become a concubine.
After saying this a lot, Liu Heng's grandfather gradually wavered, there are many men in the world who are unkind, and it is not uncommon to get what you like.
In the end, he finally made the decision to change his wife to a flat wife, and his concubine to a wife. When Yang heard this, she was like being hit by five thunderbolts, but she didn't have a powerful mother's family behind her, so she couldn't do anything about it, and in despair, she found out that she was pregnant.
It's a pity that at this time, even if she is pregnant, she can't turn things around. The son she finally gave birth to in October was sick and crooked from birth. For the sake of his son, the Yang family endured everything, and finally waited for his son to grow up, marry and give birth to a grandson before finally swallowing a breath.
Originally, as soon as the Yang family died, Liu Heng's father was not in good health, and the wife he married was not a big family, so it stands to reason that there was no threat to Liu's house. The days went on like this, and they waited for Liu Heng's grandfather to die in the future and then split up, and the matter was over.
It's a pity that Yang's death touched Liu Heng's grandfather, thinking of the past, he felt sorry for his original wife, who was originally a son-in-law and a wife, and became a flat wife.
So he wanted to restore Yang's status as a wife. He also handed over the martial arts method that could only be practiced by the descendants of the Liu family to the son of the Yang family, that is, Liu Heng's father.
He did this to simply touch the scales of the Liu family, and at the same time, the new and old hatreds accumulated over the years also made her and the children she gave birth to suddenly have a great sense of crisis, and they also took a step faster in action.
Liu Heng's father was framed and colluded with outsiders to steal the secret book of the Liu family's lineage to practice, and he was directly expelled from the clan and the whole family was expelled from the Liu family. The reason why his family was able to save their lives was the result of Liu Heng's grandfather's efforts.
At that moment, Liu Heng's grandfather realized that he had already been hollowed out, the Liu family had a powerful mother's family, and his son was leaning on his back, and he was helpless against her.
If the matter comes to an end at this point, maybe Liu Heng won't do much in the future, at most one day he will work hard to wash away his parents' grievances. Who thought that the Liu family had done a great job, and it was not enough to expel their family from the Liu family, and they also sent people to hunt down and kill their family.
In the end, the people who chased and killed were not good, and they all died cleanly, but Liu Heng also failed to protect his parents, and in the end, he took a large family of guards and servants, and only two brothers and sisters remained.
An Ruyi knew that what Liu Heng said was to solve old grievances.
There was also this incident in the previous life, but she didn't participate at that time, and the final result was that after Liu Heng washed away the grievances of colluding with outsiders to steal the secrets of the Liu family for his parents, he resolutely took his parents out of the family despite the retention of his grandfather and the elders of the Liu family. An ancestral hall was built in Liujia Village, and a branch was set up by buying sacrificial fields. Others are powerless.
In the previous life, An Ruyi always knew that Liu Heng's heart was actually unwilling. Although the grievances of his parents were washed away, and those who were ordered to hunt down and kill were also killed by him and could not escape, but the culprit was helpless in the end.
At that time, he was just a miscellaneous general of the third grade, where could he screw the power of the Liu family and the Liu family, whose son took over as the patriarch.
It can even be said that even the decision to break away from the Liu family is a bit helpless.
And everything is different in this life, and the result will inevitably be different. She, wait and see.
Standing in the bow of the boat, watching the waves continue to separate to the sides. The afterglow of the setting sun was sprinkled on his body, and the wind raised his hair.
An Ruyi turned his head to look at Liu Heng, only to see that there was no expression on his handsome face. It's serious and heart-wrenching.
The boat will be able to dock early tomorrow morning and arrive at the destination, which is "homesickness"?
"My grandmother died when I was thirteen, and I grew up almost under my grandmother's knees."
Oh? An Ruyi looked up at him.
Liu Heng's eyes looked into the distance, revealing a sad and confused look, and he said to himself: "When we were children, we lived in a side courtyard, and we didn't see my grandfather a few times a year, not because my grandfather didn't want to come, but because my grandmother didn't want to see him. Every time my grandfather came to my grandmother, she would secretly cry sadly, but she always secretly covered up the past. ”
"My father and mother were also sullen, and I didn't know why, until my grandmother's grandmother secretly told me about the past, and I didn't know why."
"My father is my grandmother's only son, and since I was a child, my health has not been good and he is not suitable for martial arts, and I have always been bullied in a martial arts family like the Liu family. It has always been the descendants of the Liu family who pick up the bullies. They bullied my father when he was a kid, and they came to bully me when I was a kid. I'm different from my father, I've been in good health since I was a child, and I'm very quick to learn martial arts, according to my grandfather, I'm a genius who practices martial arts, but unfortunately I can't learn the unique knowledge that the descendants of the Liu family can learn. ”
An Ruyi was very distressed, and she didn't know what to say to comfort him, and she didn't care if she snuggled up outside and stretched out her hand to hug him. Secret Dao, Tianlinggen, can't you be a wizard who practices martial arts!
"Later, I often wondered if I had been clumsy, wouldn't my grandfather want to give me the cultivation exercises of the Liu family, would my father be very good and my mother would be able to live peacefully until I was old."
……
“…… It's not your fault, it's those people who are too vicious and leave no room for it. An Ruyi sighed, "You can't think like that, it's not your fault that your talent is good, and you can't punish yourself with other people's mistakes." If your grandmother and father and mother knew that you blamed yourself like this, they wouldn't be at ease. ”
"You're right, I can't punish myself for their faults. Since they were so vicious back then, I don't have to leave room for them now. Liu Henghuan was tight, the fragility in his eyes flashed, and he was replaced by firmness, "Good is rewarded, evil is rewarded, it's not that it is not reported, the time has not come." ”
