Chapter 338 -337: It’s Really an Eye-Opener

Luo Ning listened to Luo Ying’s recent words and felt a surge of aversion towards her grandparents, whom she had yet to meet.

So what if her father had taken a wife and had children outside?

They were actually outraged, even to the point of falling ill from anger—it was laughable.

Luo Ning couldn’t help but ask, “Why are your maternal grandfather and grandmother so opposed to my dad taking a wife and having children outside?”

Luo Ying didn’t hide anything, “Because my grandma always wanted my uncle to marry my Eldest Aunt.”

“My grandpa is the type who dotes on his wife, so he did things according to her wishes.”

She carefully glanced at Luo Ning and then added another sentence, “My grandpa is one of those somewhat old-fashioned patriarchal types, the kind who is a bit xenophobic.”

“It’s just that he believes his children shouldn’t marry common people from outside, but rather should marry into other Ancient Fengshui Families.”

“That’s why after my uncle found out about your existence, he became so angry and furious.”

“It’s not only the Luo Family; other Gufengshui Families do the same, intermarrying among each other to ensure that their bloodlines inherit the Talent for Feng Shui Mystical Technique generation after generation.”

Mentioning this, she couldn’t help but show a trace of resentment on her face, “My mom is a victim of such an arranged marriage.”

“Back then, my scumbag father already had someone he liked, a woman from outside the island, and they were even secretly together already.”

“But in order to secure the position of the family’s heir, he still married my mom.”

“Later, when the scumbag returned with his illegitimate child and the woman from outside, my mom found out about it.”

She sighed and said, “At that time, the Luo Family and the Lei Family had close relations. My mom wanted a divorce, but the older generation of the Luo Family disagreed.”

“Having then given birth to me, my mom continued to endure hardship in the Lei Family.”

“Although my grandpa did come out to ‘support’ my mom, preventing the Lei Family and that scumbag from openly mistreating us mother and daughter, he didn’t take us away.”

“But while they didn’t mistreat us, they could inflict cold violence. I will never forget the difference in treatment and the neglect from that scumbag father.”

“Until a few years ago when my uncle was found and willingly came to the Lei Family, took my mom and me back, and assertively declared that I would change my surname to Luo.”

“Only then did my mom and I manage to escape the vortex of the Lei Family.”

She looked at Luo Ning and continued, “Our mother-daughter ordeal, plus my uncle marrying and having children outside and his unwillingness to marry my Eldest Aunt as my grandma wished, infuriated my grandpa enough to throw him directly into the family’s Forbidden Land for ‘reflection and repentance.'”

Luo Ning frowned, “They actually wanted my dad to marry his sister-in-law, isn’t that arrangement too outrageous—isn’t it incest?”

“Besides my dad, can that woman not marry anyone else?”

“Moreover, my dad has already married and had children, so if your grandparents force him to marry that woman, isn’t that bigamy? And that woman agrees?”

She blurted out all the doubts in her mind.

Luo Ying clarified, “My uncle was once the ‘qilin’ child of the Luo Family, cherished and nurtured by my grandparents and the family from birth.”

“His fiancée was a distant niece from my grandmother’s maternal family, brought to the Luo Family from a young age and grew up with my uncle, quite like childhood sweethearts.”

“Then suddenly, my uncle passed away unexpectedly, a fact my grandmother and that woman couldn’t accept.”

“That woman had been brought to the Luo Family from a young age and was always by my grandmother’s side, their relationship almost like that of a mother and daughter.”

“When she came to the Luo Family, she was already an orphan whose parents had died, so after Eldest Uncle was born, she never returned to her own family clan.”

“She even held a ghost marriage with Eldest Uncle and then officially became the Eldest Daughter-in-law of the Luo Family.”

“Grandma was sympathetic toward her and even brought that woman’s own niece, Luo Yuefeng, back home to be adopted by the woman and Eldest Uncle, giving her company.”

“Since Luo Yuefeng had a talent and was highly valued and protected by Eldest Aunt and Grandma, she was prioritized for cultivation by the Luo Family and became the leader of the younger generation.”

She paused and said, “Having Young Uncle marry Eldest Aunt, Grandma’s intent was for Young Uncle to inherit two branches so that the first child born would belong to the eldest branch, and any children born thereafter would belong to the second branch.”

“This practice of inheriting two branches is recognized among the Ancient Fengshui Families on the island.”

“That woman was said to love Eldest Uncle deeply, and since Young Uncle looked a lot like Eldest Uncle, she agreed to Grandma’s proposal.”

“Back then, everyone thought it was fine, but Young Uncle didn’t agree with this sly maneuver and even fought with Grandpa and Grandma over it.”

“Then he was threatened by Grandpa with being disinherited, so he sternly and directly ran away from home.”

“Now that he’s been brought back injured, Grandma still wants him to inherit two branches, to marry Eldest Aunt.”

“Of course, Young Uncle disagrees and then said he already had a wife and children outside and it was absolutely impossible for him to marry someone else.”

“Then that woman jumped out and said she just wanted a child with the Luo Family bloodline and would raise it on her own in the future.”

“As long as she gave birth to the child of the first branch, Young Uncle could bring his wife and children from outside back to the island, and they would be considered the second branch.”

“She wouldn’t affect the relationship between Young Uncle and his second branch’s wife and children.”

“In this way, it seemed as if she was magnanimous and had the demeanor of a main wife.”

“Crucially, she received not only Grandma’s support but also the backing of many old antiques in the family.”

Luo Ying curled her lips, “I’ve never liked Eldest Aunt anyway; I feel she’s quite fake, and she must have played the sympathy card behind the scenes to persuade Grandma to insist on Young Uncle marrying her.”

After returning to the Luo Family, her relationship with the Luo Family members was mediocre; she was closest only to Young Uncle and naturally sided with him.

Moreover, she never believed that this so-called inheritance of two branches was reliable. As Young Uncle already had his own family, it was wrong for the family to force him into marrying the sister-in-law and creating a situation with two branches.

Her mother also thought the same and thus supported Young Uncle.

But the opinions of her and her mother were practically of no consequence in the Luo Family.

Upon hearing the whole story, Luo Ning felt nothing but speechlessness and intense disgust.

“Feudal society has been extinct for so many years, do these old families of the Luo Family still live in the past?”

Even the practice of inheriting two branches has resurfaced, as if they still think they’re the feudal aristocrats of ancient times.

She starkly said, “So this is what a family that has been passed down for a thousand years looks like, really an eye-opener, and disgustingly so.”

Luo Ying nodded in agreement, “I find it disgusting too.”

And because of this, she never liked Eldest Aunt and Luo Yuefeng; she kept her distance from both of them, which also resulted in her being ostracized.

Luo Yuefeng and Eldest Aunt were both seen as aloof beauties within the family, noble and haughty, as if they disdained to stoop to her level.

But the reason she was excluded and frequently targeted by lackeys like Luo Chun’er was precisely because of that aloof woman’s intentional indulgence.

After witnessing so many hidden scandals at the Lei Family, she was no fool.
