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.”
