Chapter 12: Past Events
Looking at Old Madam Ouyang who was cursing with full energy, Ouyang Minglou smiled.
Then he sneered, "Grandmother is so full of energy and scolds people so vigorously, I guess we brothers won't be needed on the next journey. Mingyan and Mingxu, you two hold on to big brother, I'll go ask the officer for some water."
After saying this, Ouyang Minglou didn't even glance at his grandmother who was still cursing them as the unlucky star, but turned and walked towards the official.
Seeing their grandmother so full of energy and able to scold people so spiritedly, the brothers Ouyang Mingqing and Ouyang Mingyan understood everything.
It turned out that my grandmother had woken up a long time ago, but she just didn't want to wake up. A chill suddenly surged through my heart.
Seeing that Madam Ouyang was cursing non-stop, Diaorenli rolled up his sleeves, put one hand on his waist, pointed at her and said, "Our family is a jinx, then what are you, you old jinx, nagging all day long..."
"My father, a Jinshi, lost his future because of a word from you. I helped you, an old loser, to manage the business and build up our current family business. What about you? Are you satisfied?"
"It's fine if you're not satisfied, but everything in the mansion, from top to bottom, that is eaten, clothed, and used, is earned by my father and uncle. And your precious eldest son has coveted a room full of gold, silver, and antiques. Have you ever seen them?"
Seeing that her grandson Ouyang Mingli was confronting her, Old Lady Ouyang was so angry that she pointed at him and trembled. Her mouth moved several times but no words came out.
Ouyang Mingli seemed unsatisfied and continued to yell like a shrew: "You blind, biased old scoundrel, what right do you have to criticize us?"
Hearing the words "partiality to the Pacific Ocean", Ouyang Feiluo's eyes lit up while she was in Jiang Yun's arms. She patted Jiang Yun who was holding her and said, "Aunt, put me down."
Jiang Yun, who was already shocked by the rebellious words of this person, heard Xiao Feiluo's voice and quickly put her down. Then she looked at Xu Yuzhu and asked, "Second sister-in-law, the one who was rebellious was the sensible boy."
Xu Yuzhu nodded without saying anything, her eyes following her daughter's figure. She wanted to see why her daughter wanted to go out to the ground.
Ouyang Feiluo walked up to the man, pulled his sleeve and said crisply, "Brother, it's not right for you to be so mean. Watch me."
After saying that, he put his left hand on his waist and pointed his right index finger at Old Madam Ouyang and said, "You old witch, when you enslaved us, why didn't you tell us that we were the unlucky ones? Everything we eat, drink and use was earned by the unlucky ones you mentioned."
"You despise us for being unlucky, so why are you still clinging to us and eating and drinking? Isn't it because my father is not your biological son, and you are afraid that my father will block the way for your biological son?"
Ouyang Minglou asked for a bamboo tube half-filled with water and walked over, just in time to hear the voice of his sister Xiao Feiluo.
He came over quickly and saw his second and third brothers each protecting his sister, and he felt relieved.
Seeing that little Philo was chattering non-stop, he was afraid that she would become thirsty, so he quickly handed the bamboo tube to her: "Little sister, drink some water before continuing."
Little Philo kept her eyes fixed on Old Madam Ouyang who was several steps away. She calmly took the bamboo tube handed to her by her eldest brother, raised her head and took a sip, then handed the bamboo tube to her third brother.
Then, the little girl's voice sounded again: "You old witch are a scheming bitch. Don't think that I am stupid because I am young. My father was attacked by bandits that time because it was arranged by you, an old witch. You are a black-hearted old witch..."
"Damn it! If I don't show my power, you'll all think I'm a sick cat, bullying us all the time..."
After the scolding, the resentment in their hearts was relieved. Meng Yi, Xiao Qi and others who were watching and listening not far away looked at the little girl who was protected by two teenagers and a boy with an expression that they were right to scold.
Over the years, the old lady of the Ouyang family has indeed gone too far.
All the older people in the capital knew that although Ouyang Jin was Ouyang Hong’s second son, he was not the biological son of old Madam Ouyang.
Ouyang Jin is the son of Ouyang Hong and his childhood sweetheart Lian Jin.
When Ouyang Hong passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, he was a person that many people wanted to recruit because of his good looks and no connections with any forces.
Just because he has a childhood sweetheart and is about to get married, some people have inappropriate thoughts about her.
Sure enough, not long after his marriage, Ouyang Hong fell into trouble and slept with the niece of an adult, which eventually forced Lian Jin to ask for divorce.
Lian Jin, heartbroken and wanting to end it all, was rescued and later found out that she was pregnant.
As luck would have it, when Lian Jin was about to give birth, the fact that she was pregnant was discovered by Chen Yanhua, the current Madam Ouyang.
After leaving in a threatening and arrogant manner, Chen Yanhua returned home and performed a wrestling scene herself, and then went into premature labor.
A son was born at noon on the second day, who is now Ouyang Hui.
Lian Jin over there also suddenly gave birth, but she passed away after giving birth to Ouyang Jin.
Seeing his beloved pass away, Ouyang Hong looked at his newborn son in his arms and named him Jin.
After burying Lian Jin the next day, Ouyang Hong took Ouyang Jin home with the two wet nurses he had hired for her.
However, when he returned home and saw that Chen Yanhua had also given birth to a son, he was stunned for a moment, looking at Chen Yanhua leaning against the head of the bed with a complicated expression, and then walked out of the room.
Since then, Ouyang Hong never stepped into Chen Yanhua's room again until a banquet five years later.
Ouyang Hong, who had already drunk quite a bit, returned home, sat on a stone bench in the yard, took the hangover soup handed to him by the servant, and drank it in one gulp. Then...
Two months later, Chen Yanhua told Ouyang Hong that she was pregnant and the fetus was stable.
Ouyang Hong was stunned on the spot, unable to recover for a long time...
Ever since Ouyang Qin was born, Ouyang Hong's smile became much more genuine when he looked at the cute and adorable Ouyang Qin.
Every now and then, he would tease Ouyang Qin for a while, and Ouyang Jin, who was watching all this from afar, asked his eldest brother Ouyang Hui in confusion: "Brother, does father dislike me?"
"No. It's us both that Father doesn't like."
Time flies.
Ouyang Hong gradually neglected Ouyang Jin, whom he had brought home with his own hands. It was not until Ouyang Jin became a Jinshi that he vaguely remembered that he had a son.
Ouyang Jin thought that his father would see him and praise him this time.
However, he never expected that his eldest son Ouyang Hong, whom he had long been accustomed to, would actually listen to his mother's words and let him give up his official career and manage the family business for the Ouyang family.
Ouyang Jin looked at his father who forced him to give up his official career and his mother who was trying to commit suicide. He loosened his clenched fists and returned to Hejin Courtyard. He did not eat or drink for five whole days and did not step out of the room.
He tried to protest by going on a hunger strike, but failed...
