The Moon is Full in the Traveling House
Chapter 64 Song Chen
The study room of Wen Xinhou's mansion was quiet. Wen Xinhou sat alone in a chair, his eyes empty, and he kept muttering to himself: "Retribution! Yuwei, are you really back to collect the debt? But I had no choice..."
The Yuwei he mentioned was Song Chen's mother, Lu. Looking back to 23 years ago, the Lu family was one of the most prominent families of that era, but because they stood on the wrong side, the Lu family became a victim of the struggle for imperial power. After that incident, the huge Lu family was left with only Song Chen's mother, Lu Yuwei. With nowhere else to go, she could only turn to her fiancé, Song Lianqi, who was then the son of Marquis Wenxin.
However, Song Lianqi was cowardly by nature and did not dare to bring Lu Yuwei back to his house, so he had to hide her in a courtyard outside the capital. As the days passed, the old marquis finally noticed something was wrong. The old marquis coveted the huge wealth of the Lu family and did not expose it. After Song Lianqi married his current wife, the old marquis finally couldn't hold back and went to the Lu family in person. He promised Lu Yuwei that as long as she was willing to hand over the Lu family's property, he would allow her to enter the gate of Wenxin Marquis's mansion.
Lu Yuwei knew that the old marquis could not be trusted, but she had no choice but to make a desperate bet. After handing over part of her property, she entered the marquis' mansion in a sedan chair and became Song Lianqi's concubine, Lu. However, Mrs. Song was aggressive and jealous, which made Lu's life in the marquis' mansion extremely difficult.
Although the old marquis dared not take her life easily because of his majesty, Mrs. Song often found various reasons to make things difficult for and humiliate Lu, and it was common for her to deduct her share. But after all, Lu Yuwei was also a noble lady carefully cultivated by a noble family, so she would not be defeated so easily. With the remaining wealth of the Lu family in her hands, she barely made a living.
But Lu Yuwei still underestimated the viciousness of Mrs. Song. She lost two children one after another, and the Song family had no mercy on her, but only asked her to be patient. When she learned that she was pregnant again, Lu Yuwei decided not to sit and wait for death. She took out half of her belongings, bribed the people around her and the doctor, and finally successfully escaped from the Marquis's Mansion and gave birth to Song Chen smoothly.
However, the good times did not last long. Unexpectedly, Song Lianqi got the news from somewhere and successfully found the mother and son. This time, he was uncharacteristically tough and took the person back to the mansion. All this was because Mrs. Song gave birth to daughters for three consecutive times! Although Mrs. Song did not like them, because Song Chen was the only male of the next generation of the Marquis's mansion, he still received some basic care. However, only two years later, the old marquis passed away, and the lives of Song Chen and his son began to become difficult. To make matters worse, when Mrs. Song became pregnant again and gave birth to a son, Song Chen's status dropped sharply. Lu Yuwei could not bear the long-term torture and insults. After handing over the last wealth of the Lu family to Song Chen, she left the world with hatred. From then on, Song Chen had no good feelings for the Song family, even his nominal father. When he witnessed the decline of Wenxin Marquis's mansion, he was filled with an indescribable pleasure in his heart.
His so-called father actually wanted to hand Song Ye over to Bai for education, which was simply a huge joke. Although Mrs. Song was extremely hateful, Bai was able to occupy a place under Mrs. Song's cruel suppression, which was obviously not an ordinary person. Bai had been married into the Song family for more than three years but had not been able to give birth. It was not because she could not get pregnant, but because she was poisoned by Mrs. Song! When Bai was pregnant with her first child, Mrs. Song once again used insidious means to cause Bai to miscarry. Since then, Bai has not only suffered physical damage, but also suffered various suppressions and frame-ups, so that she has lost her fertility forever. Song Lianqi actually sent Mrs. Song's son to Bai, and there will definitely be a good show next... However, all this has nothing to do with him. He has long made up his mind to change his face. As long as he waits for the right time, there will be no Song Chen in this world, and only Wang Shen will replace him. Wang Shen is the new name he gave himself. "Wang" is a homophone of "wang", which means he wants to forget everything in the past; and "Shen" is taken from half of "Chen". After all, that was the name his mother gave him, so he might as well take it as a commemoration.
He had carefully collected all the property his mother had left him, and put it in a hidden and safe place. Although the wealth was not too much, it was enough for him to live a comfortable life. In addition, he had previously purchased a house and a shop under the fake identity of "Wang Shen". The shop business was good, and it was not a problem to maintain the house and his daily expenses. Of course, this was also inseparable from the help of the people behind the scenes.
Who would have thought that Song Chen, the unknown and neglected bastard of the Wenxin Marquis's mansion, would actually get to know the famous Master Chen Xuan and become friends with him! This is simply an incredible fate.
Recalling the day he met Master Chen Xuan, it was the anniversary of his mother's death. In the Song Mansion, there was no tablet for his mother because she was just a humble concubine. So Song Chen sneaked to a small hill outside the city alone, wanting to quietly pay tribute to his mother. However, fate is always so wonderful, and there he met Master Chen Xuan, who was also in a trance and lost his soul.
Song Chen recognized the other person at a glance, but he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, so he planned to leave the place quietly. But who knew, just after he took a few steps, he heard a call from behind: "Sir, are you also here to pay tribute to your relatives? I'm so sorry to disturb you."
Song Chen stopped, turned around, looked at Master Chen Xuan, and said softly, "Well, the memorial service is over, and I should go back." After that, he turned around again and prepared to leave. He didn't want to have too much interaction with this son of a powerful noble, so as not to bring trouble to himself. After all, the difference in status between them was too great.
Today is also the anniversary of my parents' death. They sacrificed their lives for the country and died a worthy death. I also want to take a good look at the beautiful mountains and rivers they protected. And now I meet you, maybe this is our destined fate! Why don't we sit down and have a chat?"
Song Chen stopped walking after hearing this. The two of them sat on the ground, each missing their loved ones in the empty mountains. Master Chen Xuan is indeed the best master in the capital. His words and deeds reveal a unique temperament. He speaks in a gentle and polite manner, making people feel comfortable and relaxed like a spring breeze.
In this atmosphere, Song Chen could not help but reveal his life story to Master Chen Xuan. Although Master Chen Xuan showed a hint of surprise, he did not show any contempt or disgust. On the contrary, he expressed his sincere admiration for Song Chen's perseverance. For Song Chen, this was the first time he felt the warmth and kindness from someone other than his mother.
However, when they met again, Song Chen was in a state of embarrassment. The Song sisters insulted Song Chen in public on the street, accusing him of being disrespectful to his elder sister as a concubine's son. What's more, they ordered their men to beat Song Chen. Fortunately, Master Chen Xuan happened to pass by and stopped the farce without hesitation. Later, Song Ru was obsessed with Master Chen Xuan, but every time at a critical moment, Song Chen would come out to make trouble, making it impossible for Song Ru to get what she wanted. In this way, as time went by, their contacts became more and more frequent, and they gradually became familiar with each other.
Once, Song Chen confided to Master Chen Xuan that he wanted to get rid of the constraints of the Marquis' Mansion and sought his help. Master Chen Xuan said that he would fully support him after hearing this. Although Master Chen Xuan resigned from his official position, he was still secretly working for the court, and Song Chen was also clear about this. After all, sometimes when Master Chen Xuan encountered some matters that were inconvenient for him to handle personally, Song Chen would handle them under the name of "Wang Shen".
