"Do you remember Wang Lijiang?"

Bai Ye raised this question abruptly, making Shen Boyan slightly stunned.

He did not expect that Bai Ye would start from this topic.

Wang Lijiang seems to be a name from a long time ago.

That was Shen Changgong's wife and Shen Boyan's grandmother, Wang Lijiang.

Shen Boyan had never had the chance to meet this woman who had left this world long ago. Not only that, he knew that even Shen Xun had never been able to meet Wang Lijiang.

As early as Shen Xun was born, Wang Lijiang died.

The medical care in that era was not as developed as it is now. A postpartum haemorrhage killed Wang Lijiang.

The birth of Shen Xun took the life of Wang Lijiang.

Shen Boyan only vaguely remembered that all he knew about this woman, Wang Lijiang, was the small house behind Shen's house, and he hadn't been there many times.

That house was built alone, and there was only one room. There was no bright light all year round, and a long burning lamp was lit. The whole room was filled with the smell of sandalwood mixed with the scent of flowers.

When Shen Boyan was still young, he knew that flowers would be sent to the house every day, but he didn't know where the flowers were sent, because he had never seen any flowers in the house.

At that time, he was still young, somewhat naughty like a child, and once secretly followed the flower delivery person to the backyard, and that was the first time he entered that room.

He only felt that the dim light made the atmosphere of the whole room very depressing. It was the first time he saw Wang Lijiang's photo, which was right in the middle of the room, surrounded by flowers, incense candles, and several plates of fresh fruits and snacks. in front of the photo.

On the black-and-white photo was the smiling face of a young woman who looked only in her 20s.

very beautiful.

In that era when make-up and plastic surgery were underdeveloped, such a beautiful face was indeed like a hibiscus coming out of clear water, which was breathtaking.

Just in front of this photo, there is also a small wooden spirit tablet, which is carved from precious lobular red sandalwood, with a string of words engraved on it.

The spiritual seat of his beloved wife Wang Lijiang.

Shen Changgong was in that room, sitting cross-legged on the futon in front of the altar where the photos were placed.

Hearing that the flower delivery person was coming, he didn't look back, but just stared at the woman's photo, and said lightly, "Put the things down, you can go."

His voice was so hoarse. At that time, Shen Changgong was in middle age, not as old as he is now, but his voice at that time was so old, so vicissitudes, full of a kind of shallow sadness.

Soon, Shen Boyan was discovered, and that was the first time he saw Shen Changgong's anger so much, it didn't show in his words, because Shen Changgong didn't speak, but Shen Boyan saw undisguised anger from his eyes .But soon, the anger subsided and gradually faded from his eyes.

At that time Shen Boyan was small, just a child.

"Grandpa, who is she?" Xiao Boyan just looked at Wang Lijiang's photo firmly, pointed with his little finger, and asked in a childish voice.

"She is your grandma, Wang Lijiang."

This was the first time Shen Boyan knew Wang Lijiang's name and identity.

Later, when I grew up, I went to that small room occasionally, but the inside has never changed, with flowers, fruits, incense candles every day, and the eternal lamp that never goes out all year round.

Shen Boyan understood that this place was Shen Changgong's deep and lasting memorial to his dead wife.

The name Wang Lijiang was always a taboo. He had observed that Shen Xun would never mention the name of his dead mother, nor would Yin Qingmu.

Even in private, they dare not discuss anything about the small house in the backyard.

As for Shen Changgong, he never married again.

After so many years, I just lived alone.

So Shen Boyan also thought about it, Shen Changgong should love Wang Lijiang very much, that kind of deep love, it seems that it will not change anything because of time, nor will it be weakened by her death.

Although he didn't know what happened before, nor did he know what kind of past Shen Changgong had with Wang Lijiang when he was young, but he was very clear about the meaning of this woman and the name Wang Lijiang to Shen Changgong, and the position in Shen Changgong's heart.

Shen Boyan was very clear.

"It's really far enough. The woman who has passed away since Shen Xun was born, my grandma, why, do you even want to bring up that period of history that you haven't witnessed?"

Shen Boyan smiled lightly, with a hint of sarcasm, looked at Bai Ye, and said this.

Bai Ye was not angry at all because of his ironic words, his expression was still calm and indifferent, but his eyes seemed to drift a little far away, he didn't speak immediately, just paused like this, he seemed to be a little distracted, after a while , then said, "Well, she is Shen Changgong's favorite woman, but she is not Shen Changgong's first woman, or even his first wife. Do you know this?"

Not the first wife?

Shen Boyan frowned indistinctly, but he didn't know.

He knew too little about Wang Lijiang, because he knew the taboo meaning that this name represented in the Shen family, so he never even went into the matter of his ancestors.

But from Bai Ye's words, it seems that there are still many things that he doesn't know.

Shen Boyan simply sat down on the cool chair beside him, "I'm listening."

He responded, and Bai Ye continued, his tone was always calm, as if he was not talking about something related to himself, but an old story from a long time ago.

"Qin Minglang, Shen Changgong, and Qiao Yuheng were best friends at one time, how good they were, I think... I'm afraid it's as good as you, Lin Zeyu, and Jing Zhe. It's just that they parted ways because of some things, um... …Generally, men are either for money or for women. It’s just that at that time, the three of them were from good families, and they were all rich young masters, and they were young and energetic. A lot of aggressiveness, so it's not for money, there is only another kind, for women."

Bai Ye smiled when he said this, and turned to look at Shen Boyan, "No matter how old a man is, the commonality is basically the same, either for money or for women. I investigated the events of that year from many sources. However, the results of the investigation, although there are some minor discrepancies, are almost the same in direction, these three good friends who were like an iron triangle back then were torn apart because of women."

Shen Boyan frowned slightly, "What do you mean? Just because of my grandma? Wang Lijiang?"
