Tang Ting's face froze for a moment.

I looked at her intently. At this moment, I felt that my eyes seemed to be filled with the temperature of flames, and it was about to hurt people.

Tang Ting was silent for a while, raised her head and looked at me, frowned deeply, and said, "I-I don't know."

"have no idea?"

"I really don't know," she also had a trace of sorrow in her eyes, and she said softly: "Although I saw the eldest lady, I really don't know if it's the eldest lady."

“…”

"I fell down and fell into a coma. After being rescued, I told my family, but they didn't believe me - after all, at that time, the eldest lady had passed away for seven or eight years."

“…”

"and--"

She looked at me and said, "At that time, I always believed that I saw the eldest lady. Before the injury was healed, I asked someone to go to the area to look for it. My mother couldn't persuade me, so she could only send someone to search there. I searched for it for a long time..."

I said, "Not found?"

“Not found.”

“…”

"Later they all said that what I saw was not the eldest lady."

“…”

"It may be a passing pedestrian, a bird or a beast, or it may be just a cloud of fog."

“…”

"They also said that I was so scared because I fell down from the cliff of Sashen, so at that moment, my eyes saw an illusion, or rather, I was wrong."

“…”

"Some people also say that I did see the wife, but not the living wife. Because at that time, my situation was too dangerous and I had already stepped into the Yellow Spring Pass with one foot, so at that time, I would see the dead."

“…”

“That’s all.”

I was frozen there for a moment and couldn't speak.

It is really because those people said that she misread the moment she fell off the cliff because she was too nervous; or, because she had already stepped into the Huangquan Pass, she saw the dead person...?

I don't know, I'm completely at a loss.

In the years before this, I had accepted the fact that my mother passed away. Even if I received so much news about her back then, my mood had calmed down and no longer felt sad. However, when I saw the statue of the Bodhisattva on the cliff of Sacrifice, when I heard Tang Ting say that she saw her mother on the top of the mountain, that crazy thought flashed through my heart.

She...is not dead!

Maybe she is still alive in this world, somewhere, and is still quietly watching the tides of this world.

However, Tang Ting's words once again extinguished this idea as if a cluster of small flames were blown out. I couldn't even convince myself that if my idea was true, if she really didn't die, then where was she over the years? Why didn't she see me again?

Looking at my frowning look, Tang Ting seemed to feel a little distressed and said softly: "Miss..."

I looked up at her and quickly cheered up - after all, I had accepted the fact that my mother passed away, and all this would not be a blow to me, and if that crazy idea was true, it would be even worse.

But everything is unknown.

I forced a smile and said, "What about after that?"

She looked at me pretending to be firm, hesitated for a moment, and continued, "Later, of course, no one took this matter seriously, but I couldn't let it go in my heart, so I secretly took some silver and asked me to go there to build the Bodhisattva Temple."

Speaking of this, she sighed lightly and said, "I just didn't expect that that matter would be spread like that."

I smiled faintly and said, "What's wrong with it? In the legend, you are a person who has been enlightened by the Bodhisattva."

She also laughed, with a little chill in her smile.

Obviously, people who have experienced life and death no longer care about those, but she was obviously not as free and easy as she said about her mother.

I asked, "Then, why do you still want to hide this?"

She lowered her eyelids and said softly: "As soon as we come, after this, we will not mention the marriage between our two families. Although I made it clear to Mr. Anyang, he did not blame me. The two families are still in peace - but, after all, our two families have a special status in Xichuan. If they are known and used by others, it will be bad."

I nodded.

Indeed, although this matter was resolved peacefully, it is hard to say what would happen if it was used. An Jia and Tang Jiaruo really had a rift, at least it would be a big trouble for me.

From this point of view, the two of them are really doing well.

I asked, "Well, what is the second reason?"

She was silent for a moment, then looked up at me: "Host——Ling Zun, Uncle Yan, let me keep this secret."

I was stunned and looked at her with wide eyes: "What did you say? My dad?!"

She nodded gently.

This time, I really couldn't sit still.

My dad?

My father, knowing this, let Tang Ting keep the secret?!

I was at a loss for a moment and looked around the house in panic, as if I wanted to find something to make myself believe in everything she just said, but everything she saw was messy. I could only look up at her again. Tang Ting didn't say anything, but just looked at me solemnly, and said gently, word by word: "That's right, it's him."

“…”

"It was him who asked me to keep this secret and don't tell anyone."

I was panicked and trembled slightly: "How is it possible..."

"Miss."

I looked up at her and said, "He, how did he know?"

Tang Ting said softly: "One uncle seemed to have gone to the vicinity of Sashen Cliff for something and saw the Bodhisattva Temple. At that time, the statue of the Bodhisattva had not been shaped, but his face had been shaped, so he could tell that it was the eldest lady at a glance. He quickly guessed that the person who built the Bodhisattva Temple was me, so he found me and asked me what happened. I told him everything."

I asked, "What did he say about my dad?"

Tang Ting thought quietly for a while, then shook her head: "He said nothing."

“…”

"I only remember that my uncle didn't say anything after hearing what I said, but suddenly, the person seemed to have grown a lot."

“…”

"It seems that in just a moment, people will grow older as teenagers."

“…”

"He just told me to keep this secret, not tell others, and not let anyone know what happened that day. I promised him, so-" Tang Ting looked up at me: "Miss, if it weren't for you, I really wouldn't say it easily."

My mind became more and more confused, and I just looked at her: "What about it later?"
