Old Lady Zhao nodded, “Yes, I know.”
Just then, Zhao Shen walked in from outside. “Furong, you’re here.”
Shangguan Furong nodded.
The children were thrilled to see Zhao Shen. “Dad!”
Even though Zhao Ziqing and Zhao Zijun were quite grown up, Zhao Shen still picked up one of them. “Zijun, Ziqing, have you missed dad?”
“Yes!” Zhao Zijun and Zhao Ziqing nodded.
Shangguan Furong watched the scene unfold, a smile tugging at her lips.
Being apart for a while actually felt good.
Zhao Shen had never been so affectionate with the children before.
Because Old Lady Zhao’s health was failing, Shangguan Furong decided to leave one of the children with the Zhao family to keep her company. After all, one shouldn’t be too selfish. Having witnessed what happened with Lin Fang, she believed that the Zhao family wouldn’t repeat the same mistake. She herself would visit once a week.
“Which of you would like to stay with grandma?” Shangguan Furong squatted before the two children, asking.
“I will.” Zhao Zijun stepped forward. “Mom, I want to stay with grandma.”
“Alright,” Shangguan Furong nodded, patting Zhao Zijun’s head. “Then, you need to listen to grandma, okay? Mom will come back to see you once a week.”
“Yes, mom, I know.” Zhao Zijun nodded sensibly.
Tears streamed down Old Lady Zhao’s face as she lay in her hospital bed, moved by their actions.
That evening, Zhao Shen walked out with Zhao Zijun to see off Shangguan Furong and Zhao Ziqing. “Furong, thank you.”
Shangguan Furong replied: “You don’t need to thank me. Zijun isn’t just my child. However, let me be clear. If you repeat your mistakes, you won’t see your children ever again!”
She would take the children far away.
“It will never happen again! You have my word!” Zhao Shen promised.
Shangguan Furong continued: “Remember those words! Alright, no need for goodbyes, you better go back. Ziqing, say goodbye to your father and brother.”
Reluctantly, Zhao Ziqing waved. “Goodbye, Dad. Goodbye, brother.”
Zhao Shen opened his mouth, “Furong, have we really no chance to be together anymore?”
His eyes were filled with pleading.
“No, no chance,” Shangguan Furong answered. “Zhao Shen, I wish you to find your true love soon.”
Having said that, Shangguan Furong turned around with her child and walked away.
With his heart feeling as if it had been torn apart, Zhao Shen watched the silhouettes of the mother and daughter disappear.
They were once a happy family of four, now, they were going their separate ways.
Wang Zeqi, soaked in sweat, ran into Grandpa Du’s study room. “Grandpa Du! Grandpa Du!”
Grandpa Du put down his Buddhist scripture. “What is it?”
Wang Zeqi exclaimed excitedly, “Grandpa Du, it’s her! It’s really her!”
Grandpa Du’s eyebrows furrowed, “What do you mean ‘it’s her’? Be clearer.”
Wang Zeqi couldn’t calm down.
And who would blame him, considering it was about Grandpa Du’s savior, who was also his?
He hadn’t imagined that Zheng Xianjing was an impostor!
Grandpa Du was proven to be right!
Wang Zeqi recomposed himself. “Grandpa Du, the person who helped us that night… it was Ni Yang! It was her!”
Grandpa Du remained unfazed.
This revelation was not surprising to him.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked Wang Zeqi to investigate Ni Yang.
Wang Zeqi continued: “Grandpa Du, should I bring that necklace to Ni Yang?”
“No need,” said Grandpa Du. “That necklace has already been given to someone else. Re-gifting it to Ni Yang would seem insincere. Bring the Night Pearl.”
The Night Pearl dated back to the Northern Song Dynasty!
Wang Zeqi was stunned. It seemed that Grandpa Du was really going all out this time.
If they wanted to find Ni Yang, they could go to the National Colors and Heavenly Fragrances.
Ni Yang was a regular at the National Colors and Heavenly Fragrances.
As the weather had begun to get warmer, Ni Yang had stopped wearing her coat.
That day, she was wearing a light blue cheongsam with her hair down, a pale blue crystal hairpin adorned with thin fringe on the left side. The fringes trembled as she walked, much like the shimmering surface of water.
She looked as if she had walked straight out of a vintage Chinese painting.
Grandpa Du was immediately drawn to Ni Yang, who was deep in conversation with Gu Lanzhi, as he entered.
The buzzing crowd and the distance made it hard for him to catch their conversation.
“Grandpa Du, should we go over?” Wang Zeqi asked.
