When Ming Anya went home, she not only failed to get Liu Yanshuang out of jail, but was also kicked out of the Ming Family. When she got back, she went to Bai Nanzheng and cried bitterly.
Bai Nanzheng hadn't expected Ming Anya to be of any help to him. From their interactions over the past few days, she seemed to be nothing more than a pampered young lady with only beauty and a privileged background. But... he hadn't expected her to be kicked out of the Ming Family. Perhaps she was just testing him?
" Anya, don't cry. Uncle was just trying to scare you. I'll work hard to get your family's approval!" Bai Nanzheng comforted her while calculating how to maximize his own interests. "I'll be heartbroken. It's okay, why don't you come back to Hai City with me first?"
Ming Anya sniffed. "Yeah, I'll go back to Hai City with you. A-Zheng is still the best."
Before Ji Nanshu started school, he went to Jishan County, where the original owner lived, accompanied by Chu Mo. After several twists and turns, they found the house where Bai Family's grandmother Ji Ya and the original owner lived.
"This is it."
Ji Nanshu looked at the farmhouse in front of him and felt a strange sense of familiarity. But strangely, the original owner's memories of living here were very vague, as if someone had deliberately erased those memories.
"Little ones, what are you two doing?"
An old man, carrying a bowl of vegetables, looked on with curiosity. These two little children were clearly from a wealthy family; the fabric looked good, but they shouldn't be allowed inside.
"Don't go to this house! It's haunted!"
The two exchanged a glance, both looking surprised. Chu Mo offered him a cigarette and asked, "Grandpa, we're here to gather writing material. We've heard about the hauntings around here. Could you tell us about it?"
The old man glanced at the small courtyard and sighed, "This courtyard used to be inhabited, by a young boy and his grandmother. After the grandmother passed away, the boy left. Not long after he left, the house started to be haunted; people often saw someone inside at night!"
Ji Nanshu: "Could it be a mistake, or did someone go in to steal something?"
This house doesn't have any yin energy; it shouldn't be haunted.
"Hey! If that were all, we wouldn't say it's haunted. A few mischievous kids went in to see if there really were ghosts, and they were scared crazy that very night!! They're still in a sanatorium in the city!"
"You two little kids mustn't go! No, no!"
Chu Mo gave the dark-skinned old man his pack of cigarettes. "Thank you. But since we're already here, we should definitely go and check it out. We'll go during the day; it should be fine."
Seeing that Ji Nanshu and his companion wouldn't listen to his advice, the old man shook his head and instructed, "Youngsters, you must finish reading during the day and come out early."
"Good!"
After the old man left, the two of them gently pushed the gate of the courtyard, and it opened.
Ji Nanshu was somewhat surprised; the courtyard wasn't locked?
Entering the courtyard, there is an open space. To the left is a place to cool off, while to the right is a small vegetable garden, which has been overgrown with weeds because it has not been tended to for a long time.
The house has two floors. The first floor has a living room, dining room, and kitchen. The second floor has two bedrooms.
Upon entering the living room, they saw a memorial tablet and a photograph displayed directly opposite. The incense in the burner in front of the tablet had burned out, with some ash scattered on the table. The two searched the entire house in no time but found no clues.
" A-Mo, my memories of this place are very vague." No matter how hard Ji Nanshu thought, he couldn't recall anything about the original owner of this body living here. "I only know that I lived here, but other than that, I can't remember anything specific."
Chu Mo glanced around the living room again, his gaze suddenly stopping on the table where the ancestral tablets were placed. " Nanshu, this table is a bit too thick."
"It's really too thick."
Thinking of this, Ji Nanshu picked up the incense sticks beside him, lit them, bowed three times, and then placed them in the incense. He reached under the table and rummaged around for a bit, when he heard a small click and a bag fell down.
Inside, there was a key and a diary.
"Diary..."
Was it left by Ji Ya for the original owner? It's just a diary, why hide it so secretly?
Chu Mo kissed Ji Nanshu on the forehead and said, "I'll go out and wait for you."
"Um."
After reading the diary, Ji Nanshu was stunned.
His arrival in this world was all his own doing?!
Ji Ya's diary says that when she was young, she liked to explore various dangerous forests. During one of her adventures, she accidentally wandered into the Qiang Kingdom and happened to meet Ji Nanshu, who was hunting in the forest.
As the Imperial Advisor Ji Nanshu immediately recognized that she was from another world and brought her back, making him Ji Ya's savior.
Ji Ya lived in the Qiang Kingdom for five years as Ji Nanshu's maid. Just when she thought she would never be able to go back, Ji Nanshu told her that he had found a way for her to go back. However, after Ji Ya returned to her own world, she had to do something for him. That thing was for Ji Ya to go to her son's house when she was sixty-five years old, take away her son's adopted son, and raise him until he was eighteen.
Ji Ya agreed without hesitation.
At that time, the Qiang Kingdom was still quite powerful. The Blood God Cult had been secretly plotting a blood sacrifice in an attempt to summon a blood skeleton to overthrow the Qiang Kingdom. At the critical moment, Ji Nanshu destroyed the blood sacrifice at the cost of his own life. At the same time, he used the power of the collision of two formations to tear open the connection between the two worlds and send Ji Ya back.
After returning, Ji Ya did these things according to Ji Nanshu's instructions.
So... he and the original owner are the same person. No, if they are the same person, then what about the original owner's memories of their past life? And... why are the original owner's memories of living here so vague? Also, what about the children who were scared insane?
This is what Ji Nanshu can't understand.
After pondering for a long time without reaching a conclusion, Ji Nanshu went out and gave the diary to Chu Mo.
He asked softly, " A-Mo... you know me, don't you?"
As intelligent as he was, how could he not have thought of this? In fact, Ji Nanshu always felt that Chu Mo's "love" came too suddenly. How could Chu Mo, who had been raised as the heir since childhood and was now the head of the Chu Family, easily fall in love with someone he had only met once?
Besides, it's a rainbow feather duster!
Now he probably knows what happened.
Chu Mo hugged Ji Nanshu tightly. "My darling, you need to remember me soon."
Ji Nanshu retorted, "You expect me to remember it all by myself?!"
"It's something I can't say."
Ji Nanshu kicked Chu Mo: "Go home!"
"Why!"
Hey, what was I going to say again?!
Oh right, my darlings, I haven't been checking the computer backend for this book lately! So I haven't been able to reply to many comments, but I still love you all! Hehe! Thank you for your support, and I hope you continue to be happy and joyful!
