Chapter 82: Secretly in Love
As soon as Song Yin walked into the Song family’s old mansion, he felt something was wrong.
However, he only coughed lightly and walked into the main hall as if nothing happened.
The hall was filled with people. In the middle was Old Master Song. He had a cold look on his face.
Standing to his left were Song Yin’s father, Second Master Song, Song Da, Third Master Song, Fourth Master Song, and Fifth Master Song.
On the right, not standing in any particular order, were all the females and children of the family.
The reason why the men in the Song family named themselves as such was because of Old Master Song.
In his early years, because of his noble status, Old Master Song was called Master Song. After giving birth to four sons, Old Master Song beamed with joy and called them Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Master Song according to their age.
However, when all his grandchildren were born, the order was messed up. Third Master Song gave birth to a son first, then Forth Master Song gave birth to twins, and then Second Master Song gave birth to Song Yin, who has a mole on his earlobe,
As the only child of his eldest son and the one carrying the family curse, Song Yin had poor health ever since he was young. Additionally, since Song Yin was one of the younger grandchildren, Old Master Song doted on him and kept him by his side, teaching Song Yin everything that he knew.
If the curse was still in place, Song Yin would probably become the Song family’s ultimate regret.
“Grandpa, I’m back.”
Song Yin Strode forward and bowed Old Master Song.
Song Yin rushed over to pay his respects to Old Master Song as soon as he got off the plane this morning, so he only greeted him briefly this time.
However, his grandfather was not in a good mood. He turned his head and said in a strange tone, “You just recovered and yet you’re already thinking of leaving and starting your own family.”
When Song Yin heard this, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He said in a good-natured manner, “Grandpa, how could I?”
In the Song family, only Song Yin could speak to his grandpa in such a manner. If it were anyone else, they would have to carefully pounder their words before speaking.
Seeing that Old Master Song did not respond, Song Yin continued to coax him, “There were too many things to do today. I’ll introduce her to grandpa tomorrow.”
Seeing that Song Yin had given in, Old Master Song turned to look at him, and his tone softened. “Hmph, she would have to get my approval before she can marry into this family.”
Therefore, Song Yin immediately smiled confidently and said, “Grandpa will like her.”
“You’re the one to talk.” Old Master Song’s brows relaxed slightly.
Seeing that both of them had smiling faces, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
Second Master Song, Song Da, spoke up for Song Yin, “That girl is also from a decent family. She has been in love with Xiao Jiu [Song Yin’s nickname] for some time now. Now that she’s pregnant, they want to get married.”
Song Yin’s mother, Wei Nian, also said, “Xiao Jiu didn’t handle this situation very well. They have been secretly in love for a while but he didn’t let anyone know. Xiao Jiu, hurry up and tell everyone about your relationship.”
The couple chimed in to give Song Yin a way out. However, Song Yin never cared about the opinions of others, so he didn’t bother to go into too much detail. He just nodded and said, “She’s very good. You’ll get to know her soon enough.”
Seeing Song Yin speak so sternly, Fifth Master Song’s wife Wang Mo, who was a chatterbox, chimed in, “Xiao Jiu, a few days ago, a Taoist master came to our house and performed a ritual. You just recovered, best not to rush things, don’t you think so father?”
Seeing that Wang Mo threw the matter back to Old Master Song, Wang Mo’s son Song Heng who was ranked tenth in the family, quickly nudged his mother and reminded her, “Don’t talk too much, mom. Especially now.”
As expected, it was better if Wang Mo didn’t mention it. The moment she did, Old Master Song remembered the array that Yun Qin broke a few days ago. She had yet to come and break the life-swapping array she promised.
Thinking of the girl he liked, Old Master Song felt stifled again. He said, “Your body just recovered. You shouldn’t do anything that may expend your vitality for now, why don’t we push back this wedding.”
Seeing Old Master Song speak so explicitly, even Song Yin didn’t know how to reply.
Song Da and Wei Nian looked at each other and didn’t dare to breathe loudly.
If Old Master Song knew that the girl Song Yin was going to marry was the one who caused Song Yin to faint, he would be furious.
Fortunately, only Second Master Song and his family knew about it.
Song Yin choked for a long time before saying, “No way.”
What he meant was, ‘I’m getting married. Don’t even think about interfering.’
Seeing that the situation was getting awkward again, Third Master Song, who had always been diplomatic, tried to smooth things over. “Hey, dad, that Taoist master passed away after performing the ritual a few days ago. What if something happens in the future?”
The others nodded in agreement. There were a lot of strange things going on these days. If the family didn’t have a master that could protect them, they wouldn’t feel safe.
Old Master Song’s explained to the rest of the family that the master who broke the curse passed away after exhausting all of his cultivation to break the array. Yun Qin suggested Old Master Song say this to avoid causing other troubles.
