Liang Qiang’s residence.

For so many years, although Liang Sheng had accumulated a lot of wealth, his dwelling had never changed. Compared to ordinary people, his mansion was indeed luxurious, but compared to Liang Qiang’s residence, it felt a bit inadequate.

Second Uncle never got married in his whole life, lived alone in such a huge mansion, didn’t he ever feel increasingly lonely?

It’s hard to understand.

Liang Sheng muttered to himself in his heart, and then helped Liang Qiang walk behind his steward. They walked through four courtyards before finally reaching the backyard.

When Liang Qiang entered the room and sat down, he took a breath before looking at Liang Sheng with a smile on his face: “Just now, it seemed like you liked my mansion quite a lot. Why don’t you have it after I’m gone?”

Hearing this, Liang Sheng naturally knew that his look of surprise was noticed by the other party, but he wasn’t embarrassed. Instead, he laughed and said:

“Second Uncle, your mansion is too big. I’m not as lucky as you to be able to hold down the feng shui here, so I have to decline your kindness.”

“You kid, you haven’t changed at all, still so cautious!”

Upon hearing this, Liang Qiang couldn’t help but laugh and scold. He naturally knew why Liang Sheng refused so directly.

He wasn’t angry, but couldn’t help but sigh again. If Liang Sheng had martial arts talent, it really wouldn’t be certain who would be the Liang Family’s patriarch today.

But such thoughts were just wishful thinking, as they were born into the Liang Family, and yet were martial arts wastes.

“Alright, you little slippery one, I won’t go around in circles with you. I don’t know how much longer I have, and when the time comes, I’ll probably just leave behind this pile of urine and excrement. If you’re interested, I’ll leave everything to you.”

Upon hearing this, Liang Sheng didn’t agree but calmly replied, “Second Uncle, if I accept your things, what are the conditions?”

Hearing this, Liang Qiang couldn’t help but nod in his heart. He indeed hadn’t misread Liang Sheng, and the more cautious Liang Sheng is at this moment, the more at ease he felt.

“Since that’s the case, then I’ll be straightforward. Although I’ve never married in my life and have remained attached to the mundane world, when my time comes, I will still owe a debt.”

It turned out that a few years ago, when Liang Qiang’s health was not yet completely ruined, and he could still be considered strong for his age, he met a widow who moved him.

This widow was extremely considerate to Liang Qiang, but he had seen too much in his life, was wary of the Liang family’s dyeing vat, and eventually did not marry the widow.

He always kept the widow in his outside room, and a few years ago, they had a daughter. This matter was kept secret very well, and no one knew about it until now.

“Second Uncle, do you mean that if I accept your property, the condition is that I help take care of this mother and daughter?”

Liang Qiang shook his head upon hearing this, “No, I wouldn’t be so muddled as your Second Uncle. You would definitely not agree if so.

After all, you and I are the same, how could we leave such a big trouble for ourselves?

But precisely because of this, I feel even more at ease entrusting this matter to you. I’ve already left enough money for the mother and daughter to live a comfortable life.

My condition is very simple: I hope that if they encounter any problems in the future, and if it doesn’t put you in a difficult position, you can lend a hand.

Of course, if you think it’s dangerous or uncertain, there’s no need to take a risk. As long as you agree to this, I’ll leave all my possessions to you.

Of course, by that time, I’ll have everything exchanged into silver notes and leave no trace behind. So, do you want to do this deal?”

Liang Sheng only thought for a while, sighed, then shook his head. Seeing this, Liang Qiang’s eyes dimmed.

When he was feeling somewhat disappointed, he heard Liang Sheng say, “Second Uncle, I won’t take any of your things, but if it’s within my capabilities, I will help.”

Hearing this, Liang Qiang raised his head abruptly, his face full of astonishment, before he finally showed a relieved expression: “Then, Second Uncle will thank you on behalf of the mother and daughter.”

Afterward, Liang Qiang told Liang Sheng the entire situation involving the mother and daughter, with no further requests. So, Liang Sheng stayed for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.

Liang Qiang stared at his departing figure, expressionless, uncertain about what he was thinking at the moment.

Finally, he heard Liang Qiang mutter to himself, “We’re truly the same kind of people, but you’re even crueler than me. It’s probably for the best. Otherwise, how could we, the wastes of the Liang Family, have survived for so long?”

A month later, Liang Qiang passed away.

His death did not cause any ripples. After his old steward reported it to the Liang family, the Liang Family took care of his funeral.

The Liang family was extremely enthusiastic about it, as they not only arranged the funeral for the Liang family’s branch but also settled Liang Qiang’s inheritance.

Liang Sheng didn’t pay much attention to this, but at the funeral, he was curious to see that the funeral rites were being conducted by monks from Jinshan Temple.

However, he didn’t dwell on it and watched as Liang Qiang was prepared for burial, looking as if he were just sleeping peacefully. His heart couldn’t help but feel bitter.

After all, in the past sixteen years, the only one in the entire Liang family who cared about him might have been Second Uncle.

That night, Liang Sheng didn’t go to the Yichun Building to listen to music in the brothel. When the night was quiet, he secretly jumped out of his room.

After all, he had promised his Second Uncle to at least meet his never-seen-before aunt and her daughter to console Second Uncle’s spirit in heaven.

With his Postnatal Seven-Realm High-Grade Martial Arts, no city patrol would notice him at night.

However, he was still cautious along the way and arrived at the southern city in no time. After finding the direction, he jumped onto the roof towards his destination.

At this moment, inside an ordinary residential house, there was a woman in her twenties burning paper money in the hall. Her face was stained with tears, and a little girl was soundly asleep in the inner room.

Liang Sheng watched for a while, making sure there were no issues, unable to stop himself from admiring Second Uncle’s lingering affections in this life.

However, Second Uncle’s taste for young women left a mixed feeling in him.

The two were somewhat conscientious, so in the future, as long as it only required a helping hand, he would lend one.

He thought about Liang Qiang’s seemingly rich and honorable life but in the end, it was rather tragic, making his heart even more determined to cultivate for longevity.

Just as he was about to quietly return, his ears suddenly twitched, and he immediately lay low against the roof.

The next moment, someone dressed in night-walking clothes sneaked into the woman’s room. Liang Sheng became tense instantly on the roof.

Was Second Uncle’s secret about maintaining a mistress exposed?

However, the next moment, Liang Sheng was dumbfounded by the situation in the room and almost wanted to slap himself in the face.

It was a man, moreover a bald one, whom Liang Sheng found familiar. Upon thinking carefully, he recalled when he had seen him.

Wasn’t this one of the Jinshan Temple monks who had held Second Uncle’s funeral ceremony today?

And his cheap Second Aunt suddenly knelt in front of the monk, her eyes full of admiration, addressing him respectfully, while her eyes seemed as tender as spring water.

Second Uncle, it seems like you’ve been cuckolded!

What enraged Liang Sheng even more was himself, why did he have a soft heart and meddle in others’ affairs? If it weren’t for this coincidence, what would he do if his involvement was exposed later?

Remember, never be kind-hearted ever again!
