Like most families with a long history, the Fang family still maintained some ancient traditions.
Or it could be called the dregs of feudalism.
Tonight was the old master's eightieth birthday. There were dozens of tables at the birthday banquet. The tables were arranged according to status, men and women.
VIP guests had VIP tables, ordinary guests had ordinary tables, direct descendants sat at one table, collateral descendants sat at another table, men sat at one table, women sat at a table, women sat at a table, women sat at several tables, relatives sat at several tables. The rules were strict.
Zuo Yi came to the side hall where the women ate.
However, he did not see his aunt Fang Yonghe at the main table.
The banquet had not officially started yet. There were fruits and cold dishes on the table. A dozen women sat together, either eating melon seeds and chatting or using their phones.
Zuo Yi's appearance caused the women of the family to look at each other, not knowing what to do.
A woman in her thirties asked carefully, "Fang Yi?"
"I am Zuo Yi."
Zuo Yi glanced at the other and recognized that this was his uncle's wife. He asked, "Have you seen my aunt Yonghe?"
The other hesitated and pointed to the other side. "She is over there."
Outside?
Zuo Yi could not help but frown.
The side hall was divided into inside and outside. The main family's women sat inside and the relatives sat outside.
Fang Yonghe was his aunt, of course she was a direct descendant of the main family. She should sit inside, why was she outside?
"Hmph."
Zuo Yi noticed that the expressions of several women present were rather strange, and could not help but snort coldly.
Ordinary people could not imagine the filth in large families. Fang Yonghe's personality had always been weak and did not like fighting. It was normal for her to be bullied.
Zuo Yi knew some of this before. Now that he thought about it, he knew what had happened. He could not help but feel angry.
The sisters-in-law were shocked. Their faces turned pale and their eyes were filled with fear.
For some reason, Zuo Yi's cold snort was like a thunderclap in their ears, shaking them to the point that their souls were about to split. Their heads buzzed, and they almost fainted on the spot.
In fact, this was already Zuo Yi being merciful. Otherwise, it would be very easy for them to suffer even more.
He walked over a few steps and found Fang Yonghe sitting in the corner outside the side hall.
Zuo Yi was shocked.
Because he almost didn't recognize his aunt!
Fang Yonghe was 11 years older than Zuo Yi. She was less than 40 years old this year. She married into Hong Kong when Zuo Yi was 12 years old.
Zuo Yi hadn't seen Fang Yonghe for seven years.
Zuo Yi did not expect that his aunt would change so much after reuniting with him for such a long time!
Fang Yonghe was wearing a very simple dress. Her hair was tied up simply, but most of it was white.
Her expression was very haggard. Her face was pale like she was sick. Her forehead and the corners of her eyes had deep wrinkles. She looked like she was in her fifties or sixties. She was very old.
When Zuo Yi came over, Fang Yonghe did not notice at all. She was staring at the plate in front of her. Her mouth was silently moving, and her eyes were in a daze.
Was this really the beautiful and gentle aunt from his memories?
Zuo Yi took a deep breath. He walked over and sat down beside her. He softly called out, "Aunt."
There were seven or eight other women at the same table. They could not help but look at each other.
Zuo Yi did not know them at all, so he ignored them and continued to call out, "Aunt, I'm Little Yi."
He could see that not only was Fang Yonghe's body not in good condition, but there was also a problem with her mental state.
At this moment, a fashionably dressed young woman sitting across from him laughed and said, "Don't call her. She can't hear you. You should send her to a mental hospital instead of sitting here and making us lose our appetite."
Zuo Yi suddenly turned around. His eyes were as sharp as knives. "Scram!"
The young woman was stunned. Her pupils suddenly shrank as if she had seen something extremely terrifying. Her face that could barely be considered beautiful couldn't help but distort involuntarily.
The next moment, she stood up in panic and staggered out the door.
After being affected by Zuo Yi's mental intimidation, she would have nightmares for a long time in the future. Nightmares every day.
This was the result of having a bad mouth.
The people around them were all stunned.
Zuo Yi withdrew his gaze. He reached out and gently held Fang Yonghe's hand. He softly asked, "Aunt, do you still remember me?"
Her hand was very thin. It was all bones. It was cold without any warmth.
This made Zuo Yi feel an indescribable sadness in his heart.
This time, Fang Yonghe finally reacted. She slowly turned around and looked at Zuo Yi. Her confused eyes gradually became clear. She weakly said, "Little Yi?"
"It's me."
Zuo Yi smiled. "Aunt, long time no see."
But soon, his smile disappeared.
Fang Yonghe's forehead had a greenish-black color. Furthermore, Zuo Yi could sense a strange aura coming from her body.
It was an aura that made people very uncomfortable!
Fang Yonghe blinked her eyes. Suddenly, tears flowed out. Her lips trembled and she could not speak.
She tightly held Zuo Yi's hand!
Zuo Yi allowed her to hold his hand. He activated his Spirit Vision and looked through her forehead.
An indescribable anger instantly surged into Zuo Yi's heart!
A greyish-black substance surrounded Fang Yonghe's consciousness. Half of her soul had already been corroded. Her spiritual fire was weak like a candle in the wind. It could be extinguished at any time.
Furthermore, this layer of black substance extended countless long tentacles. They extended into her limbs and bones, absorbing her life force!
Curse!
Zuo Yi never would have thought that Fang Yonghe would be cursed. Furthermore, the curse had existed for a very long time.
He could not imagine what his aunt had encountered in the past few years. He finally understood why his aunt had not contacted him for so long. She could not even get through to him on the phone.
Not only did the curse cause great harm to her body, it also directly affected her mind!
Who was so vicious!?
In Zuo Yi's memories, Fang Yonghe was a very gentle and kind woman. She was also the only person in the Fang family who could make Zuo Yi feel familial warmth.
When Zuo Yi was young, Fang Yonghe often bought him toys and brought him delicious food. After Zuo Yi moved to Linjiang Town, she would visit him from time to time. Every time, she would not come empty-handed.
Fang Yonghe's relationship with Zuo Qingyun was also very good.
She would rather suffer than quarrel with others. She always spoke in a gentle voice. Whenever she saw an injured animal on the side of the road, she would always carry it to treat it, even if she was ridiculed.
Who would do such a vicious thing to such a woman!?
Zuo Yi wanted to kill someone.
