Liang Jieque said nothing, but looked at Xue Ruitian for a long time before letting out a long breath.

"Aunt Liang? You..."

Shen Zhonghe looked at Liang Jieque with a worried look on his face. He knew very well that the relationship between Aunt Liang and his second uncle was very deep. When his second uncle was still there, it was hard to tell which of the two people was in this relationship. The one who gave the most in a relationship, but after the death of her second uncle, Aunt Liang was undoubtedly the one who gave the most and had the worst life.

He picked up the tea cup, took two sips of tea, and quietly observed Liang Jieque's expression. Looking at her face that showed no emotion, he felt very worried.

Unlike the people present, Aunt Liang was his family, a family member who had lived together for many years, and they were all very familiar with each other. He knew the reason why Aunt Liang never married. In addition to taking care of the entire Shen family, there was also the reason why she couldn't get out of that relationship. She couldn't forget her second uncle. In the past, he felt that his second uncle died in front of her eyes, and there was a knot in her heart that has not been untied yet. But now that I know what happened at that time, I realize that the knot was bigger than I thought.

Shen Zhonghe thought for a while. If he were in Aunt Liang's position, he might have made the same choice as her and would never be able to get out of this life.

He sighed softly. When he was a child, he heard his father, mother, and even grandfather persuade Aunt Liang more than once to reconsider and not to delay her life because of her second uncle, but Aunt Liang refused every time. , they all refused very simply.

He once envied the relationship between Aunt Liang and his second uncle that was inseparable in life and death. Even if the second uncle did something wrong, even if the second uncle was gone, Aunt Liang never gave up on this relationship and persisted until now.

But now the truth was revealed, and the facts slapped Aunt Liang hard in the face, telling her clearly that she and her persistence were actually a joke. In his second uncle's heart, Bai Yueguang and Cinnabar Moles were someone else.

Shen Zhonghe put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Liang Jieque again. To be honest, he was a little worried now. He didn't know whether Aunt Liang would be hit by this and whether she would never recover from it.

Feeling Shen Zhonghe's gaze, Liang Jieque looked at him, saw the worry on his face, and waved towards him.

"Don't look at me like this. There's nothing wrong with me. No matter how big the storm is, it's nothing." She looked at the other people and saw the same worried expressions on their faces. They gave a reassuring smile and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile, and I won't be hit by anything like this."

"But don't you feel that your efforts are not worth it?" Jin Miaomiao looked at Liang Jiequ in confusion, "In a way, his choice, I mean Mr. Shen, is already a betrayal. Your feelings are gone, aren’t they?”

"Betrayal?" Liang Jieque shook his head gently, "Didn't he betray him a long time ago? From the moment he led those people on board, the betrayal was already doomed, no matter what the reason was."

"But..." Jin Miaomiao still didn't understand. "If it's just for an island, it's okay. After all, he also wants to consider the family. But if it's for one person..." She thought for a moment, "Just It's not worth it, isn't it? Because of him, you never married, never left the Shen family, and took care of this family for so many years. Don't you feel aggrieved?"

"I did at the beginning." Liang Jieque smiled, "Everyone has feelings, right? What's more, the relationship between the two of us is so deep. When he did such a thing, I was I couldn't accept it, but it got better gradually. Now it doesn't matter what I listen to. As for whether Lu Yicheng is his Bai Yueguang or Cinnabar Moles, it doesn't matter to me, even Lu Yi. Cheng doesn't care about second brother. When he needs second brother, second brother will abandon me and the Shen family and go to help him without hesitation, even if he loses his life, it doesn't matter." She sighed softly, " I have already prepared for this. "Have you talked about it?"

Liang Jieque nodded and said, "After learning about Lu Yicheng's so-called death, we talked once. I asked him if he had any regrets for not repaying this life-saving grace. He said yes and said that if there was a chance, , I can use my own life to repay my kindness. I didn’t expect that my words came true, and I really used my own life to repay my kindness.”

"But the fact is that you have been doing it for your second uncle for so many years..."

"Wait a minute!" Liang Jieque interrupted Shen Zhonghe, "Don't you think that the reason why I don't marry is because of my second brother?"

"Isn't it?" Shen Zhonghe spread his hands, "My grandfather, father, and mother all said so."

"Of course not, you have misunderstood." Liang Jieque looked at these children and smiled helplessly, "Even if I get married, I will recruit a son-in-law. It is absolutely impossible for me to leave home and marry outside. One is I don't want to. The other thing is that I promised my adoptive father that I would take good care of the Shen family, and guard..." She glanced at Shen Zhonghe, "I will guard you, watch you get married, have children, and watch your family full of children and grandchildren. "

"It's great to recruit a son-in-law, but why..." Before Shen Zhonghe could finish his words, he immediately realized, "You don't have anyone you like?"

"Of course." Liang Jieque nodded, "There were once or two people that I liked, but after getting along for a while, I found that the two of them were not suitable. Later, as I got older, I didn't This energy and thoughts are gone.”

"It seems like we misunderstood." Jin Miaomiao nodded, "What else happened that day?"

"No more." Liang Jieque shook his head gently, "Basically, they were just telling each other off and exposing each other's shortcomings. Either the second uncle was complaining about his adoptive father and the eldest brother, or the eldest brother was scolding the second brother for being obsessed. In short, those who should never The family scandal was revealed at that moment. Then..." She sighed and said helplessly, "I started to take action as soon as I disagreed. Although my adoptive father and eldest brother were both under control, that was not the case. It was just their intention to see how the second brother would explain and what he was going to do. So, when they fought back, the Hu merchants and Japanese pirates who got on the boat couldn't resist at all, and a melee began. "

"and after?"

"Not long after the melee started, the escort ship also appeared quietly. With the addition of those escorts, the Japanese pirates lost their numerical advantage. They were beaten back steadily and were about to be captured alive."

"and then?"

"In desperation, they took the second brother hostage."
