"Wife?" When Shen Rui heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

A family like the Shen family has always had a great reputation, how could there be a "woman"? Even if the daughter-in-law of the house is unvirtuous, there is not a family temple that accommodates the family's widows and sinners, and no matter how uneven it is, it can still "die of illness". You must know that marriage is a good marriage between two surnames, and if there is a matter of reconciliation and separation, although it is the breaking of the two in-laws, it does not tear the face; When it came to the point of "divorced wife", the two families turned their faces into enemies.

Why did he never hear of such a big event?

Shen Jue saw that his face was full of puzzlement, and raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't think about it, you are only a few years old, of course you haven't heard of this." That was sixty years ago. Not to mention our generation, even Uncle Yuan's generation, there are not many people who have heard of this. It was only when I overheard my grandfather and father gossiping that I knew it. ”

Sixty years ago, thinking that the Erfang branch seemed to have moved to the capital at that time, and had almost no contact with the Erfang branch who stayed in Songjiang, Shen Rui's heart moved, and said, "Sixty years ago? It is the house of the late uncle and grandfather in the second room...... Elders? ”

Shen Jue nodded and said, "It's my uncle's grandfather and stepmother, Shao Shi, who is a vicious and unkind woman." When she entered the second room to fill the house, the old lady in the second room had a wife and left three sons-in-law. This Shaw Brothers is extremely virtuous in front of people, and treats the older eldest and second masters very politely and thoughtfully, and treats the young third master as if he were his own child. It wasn't until she became pregnant that something happened. ”

Maybe there are many good people in this world's stepmothers, but there are also people who consciously do evil for the sake of their own flesh and blood.

In that year, there was a rebellion in Songjiang, and the Japanese often went ashore to plunder, and every household in Songjiang Prefecture was closed. The old lady in the second room happened to go to Nanjing for something, and she was not in Songjiang. The Shao family made people hide the third master, falsely claimed that he was abducted, and pointed the clues to the outside of the city, coaxing the eldest master and the second master to go out of the city to find people. As a result, the two grandfathers encountered the Japanese invaders outside the city, and the little maids and the long followers were all killed by the Japanese invaders, and the eldest grandfather returned it, and the corpse of the second grandfather was thrown into the river, and the bones were gone. The old lady lost two sisters-in-law in a row, and he wanted to investigate, but he didn't find anything. In those years, the Japanese did a lot of evil, and there were many people who died in Songjiang Mansion, so it was also regarded as an accident.

Shaw became pregnant in October, gave birth to a daughter, and became closer and closer to the third master. The third grandfather was only six years old at the time, and after the death of his two brothers, he cried and stopped mentioning it, and others thought that he was not young and forgot about it. The third master studied in a small school, passed the children's examination at the age of thirteen, and was raised at the age of fifteen. Within a few years, the Shaw family added a second daughter, and there was no hope of giving birth to a child, so he was more loving to the third grandfather. When he heard the news of the third master's promotion, the Shaw family was extremely proud and planned to tell his niece to the third master as his wife.

The third master privately detained the Shaw family's nurse and companion room, and asked about the old things nine years ago. The third master didn't go to the old lady, but went straight to the patriarch. At that time, the current patriarch was still a teenager, and the patriarch was Shen Jue's great-grandfather, and when he heard about such evil things, he naturally wanted to uphold justice for the third grandfather, and ordered the old lady in the second room to deal with the Shao family to pay for the Shen family's heirs.

When the old lady in the second room heard the truth, she hated her stepwife viciously, but after all, she had been married for more than ten years, and she had two daughters. I didn't want Shaw to return to my parents' house, so I reacted, and I was already pregnant.

No matter how inappropriate the Shaw family acted and the heir was the greatest, the Shaw family entrusted people to make peace, and the Shaw family also wrote a letter to send a letter of repentance, and the two girls from the Shaw family also cried for their mother. The old lady in the second room sank for half a month, and in the end she was soft-hearted, and for the sake of the status of the child in the Shaw family's belly, she had the heart to take the Shaw family back.

When the third grandfather heard the news, he went directly to the biological mother's cemetery and knelt in front of his biological mother's mausoleum for a day and night.

The old lady in the second room felt that she was weak-hearted, and wanted to persuade her son to come back but had no face, so she begged the patriarch to come forward.

The patriarch knew that the third master was unhappy in his heart, but he still persuaded him to take a step back, although the Shao family was hateful, but it was the blood of the Shen family in his belly, and he could not be born outside without a name or share. If it weren't for the two sisters she gave birth to, she would have been directly demoted to a concubine. Even if she is allowed to enter the door again, there is no need to worry about anything, and when she gives birth to a child, let her enter the Buddhist hall to pray for blessings. The third master never spoke, and the patriarch persuaded him again, even if the Shaw family harmed the first two, but after all, he had a favor for the third master, if the third master persecuted too much, outsiders would not know it, and it would inevitably feel that the third master was too mean and hindered his reputation.

The third master finally nodded Mu Mu, and agreed to take the Shao family back, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although the third master is only fifteen years old, he already has a reputation for making a name for himself, and he acts decisively, and no one dares to treat him as a child. If he doesn't nod, even if the Yang family takes it back, it will be difficult for these two rooms to live in peace.

Without waiting for the old lady in the second room to send someone to the Shao family, he got the news that the third master dug the grave of his biological mother, and when the old lady in the second room and the patriarch hurried over, the third master had already burned the body of his biological mother and was kneeling on the ground to put ashes in the porcelain altar. His eldest brother's grave was also dug up, and the urn containing it was taken out and set aside.

The old lady in the second room was furious and wanted to teach his son a lesson, but the third lady handed over a document in which he voluntarily gave up the title and inheritance rights of the second room's son-in-law, and wanted to move out of the household registration and a single independent household. The old lady was shocked and asked him why he had to make such a fuss, and the third lady hugged the two ashes altar and said: "The old man is not better than the new man, and the dead are difficult to fight for the living." Others can forget, but the dead are my mother and my brother. I can't avenge my brother, I can't afford to be a brother, I just hope for a reunion. ”

The old lady in the second room immediately lost his words, and after the third lady tossed this, although he did not set up an independent household as he wished, he left Songjiang with two jars of ashes and went to the capital.

The old lady in the second room was seriously ill, so that someone sent a sum of silver and a deed to the Shao family, and no longer mentioned the matter of taking the Shao family back. In order to prevent the Shao family from competing for property through the Shao family in the future, the old lady also made a special trip and asked the clan elders to testify, leaving a handwritten letter "The life and death of the woman and the wealth have nothing to do with the Shen family, and the life and wealth of the woman have nothing to do with the Shen family, and the life cannot be on the Shen family genealogy, and the death cannot enter the Shen family cemetery." This is even the identity of the Shen family's bloodline, the son of the Shaw family. The Shao family and the Shen family are completely opposed.

After arranging the second-room property, the old lady of the second room entrusted her two daughters to Zongfang, and quietly left. Some people say that he was disheartened and was abducted by monks and Taoists; Some people also speculate that he fell seriously ill, and when the oil ran out and the lamp dried up, he didn't want his son to bear the name of unfilial piety that persecuted Lao Tzu, so he hid in a place where no one knew the way and waited for death. Whatever the statement was, the old lady never came back, and there was no news.

After a few years, the two daughters left by the Shaw family reached the age of marriage, the eldest brother is like a father, the whereabouts of the father of the two daughters are unknown, the biological mother was divorced, and the marriage should be decided by the elder brother's third grandfather. The patriarch wrote a letter to the third master mentioning the matter. The third prince sent two thousand taels of silver and a letter, mentioning that he had no intention of angering the two younger sisters because of the Shaw family's actions, but he was worried that the two younger sisters would be relieved to understand him because of their biological mother, and it would be better for the brothers and sisters to be far away. After another two years, the Shaw family was seriously ill, so he sent a letter to Beijing, begging the third master to promise to let his son go to the family tree, and was sent away by the third grandfather with a sentence of "the father's order cannot be violated".

Because of the "exodus" of the old lady in the second room, the clan elders were quite complaining about the third master. No matter how aggrieved he is, the situation of the second room being broken and scattered is ugly. Besides, he has a cold face and a cold heart, and he has not heard from him since he entered Beijing, and he has handled all the major matters of marriage by himself, and he has not notified the clan, so he has many complaints. Now seeing that he doesn't miss the grace of the Shaw family for more than ten years, not to mention, he still treats his half-brothers and sisters like enemies, and the clan elders don't like him even more.

The second room has been divided into the branch of the house, and seeing that the huge property of the second room belongs to the third master, there is a lot of resentment, so he plucked the Shao family, and wanted to take advantage of the Daming law "equal sharing of property among the sons" to seek the second room industry. After all, even if the Shao family is not included in the Shen family tree, there is a date on the midwife and the divorce book as evidence, he is the bloodline of the Shen family. Even if you can't get the status of the descendants of the Shen family, even if you can only be regarded as an "outer room" that is not included in the family tree, you are eligible to share a part of the property in the second room. As for the handwritten letter left by the old lady in the second room, it mentions the genealogy and cemetery, and there is no order to prohibit the son of the Sun family from asking about the Shen family's property. The clan elders wanted to suppress the third master's "inferiority", so they did not stop the matter.

The late grandfather of the fourth room and the grandfather of the sect are classmates in the family studies, and several of them are cousins of a great-grandfather, and the brothers are the best. The two of them sent a letter to the capital, and the third master knew about it. While the clansmen were waiting to see the excitement, the third prince sent people back to Songjiang, quickly disposed of all the properties, and moved the household registration to the capital.

Because there is no news about the life and death of the old lady in the second room, although the second room cannot be clearly divided, it is actually similar to the division in the future.

Listening to this pot of dog blood, Shen Rui was not very moved, but he didn't expect that the "one ear" that Shen Jue said turned out to be the reason why the second room moved to the capital. And the second grandfather still has an old relationship with his late grandfather.

Yes, this also solved a mystery in his heart.

The second room withered, Shen Rui's great-grandfather was a gambler, and the family business was almost ruined, and Shen Rui's grandfather died early, leaving orphans and widows. It stands to reason that even if the four-room property can still be preserved, it has long lost its right to speak in the clan.

But the patriarch's wife personally took the lead and married a lady with a rich dowry for the fourth room. And Shen Juren has not been out of office for half his life, his family is rich, and his wife has lived peacefully for many years.

The fourth room can have today, not only a "virtuous woman", but also the aftermath of the late old lady......
