It was indeed a good place to live in seclusion and cultivate one’s mind.

It was also an ideal place for a vacation.

Qin Shu stepped on the marble stairs and walked onto the huge square.

As she walked, she looked around. The moment she had reached the top of the mountain, she had realized that no one was guarding the door.

On second thought, if they hadn’t known about it or been there before, no one would have known about the existence of the long bridge. That was because that road had also set up checkpoints, and they were not easy to discover.

In addition, there were four arrays from the foot of the mountain to the top, which was equivalent to four checkpoints. It would not be easy for anyone to make their way up unless they could break the arrays.

Therefore, it was normal for no one to guard the door.

The sun was setting in the west. The afterglow of the sun shone on the glazed tiles, refracting a dazzling light. It gave an illusion of the Forbidden City.

Qin Shu looked at the big door opposite the square. She was tired after walking for a whole day, but her body felt full of energy again at the thought of being able to see Xiao Jiu soon.

Qin Shu did not hurry to enter upon reaching the door. Instead, she stuck her head forward and looked inside.

The inside of the door was a little similar to what she had expected. Because it was an ancient-style house, the interior garden design was very suitable for this house. It was easy to imagine.

After sizing it up for a while, she still did not see a single soul. Were they all busy?

She stood up straight and walked over the threshold openly.

The antique-style courtyard was cozier than a villa.

She did not see a single maid in the huge courtyard.

It was a little strange.

“Xiao Jiu, look at this windmill. Zi Qing made it. Isn’t it fun?”

The child’s laughter was as melodious as a silver bell. It came from the inner courtyard.

Qin Shu walked around the courtyard for a while. She heard someone talking, and a child’s laughter. Her heart tightened. Even though she hadn’t heard Xiao Jiu’s laughter in a month, she could still tell that it was him.

Knowing that Xiao Jiu was not far away, she couldn’t help but quicken her steps, wanting to see him as soon as possible.

She walked around the flower bed, passed a cobblestone path that was about ten meters long, and came to the concrete path. After a couple of steps, she arrived at the Moon Cave Door.

When she stepped through the Moon Cave Door and saw Xiao Jiu, who was smiling happily under the grapevine, her heart instantly softened.

Having not seen him for a month, Xiao Jiu seemed to have gained a little weight. The baby fat on his cheeks was even more obvious than before.

He seemed to have also grown a little taller. Sitting on the swing chair, it seemed like he was having a lot of fun.

Looking at her son, Qin Shu couldn’t wait to hold him in her arms. Just as she was about to step in, she saw the woman who had been seated all along, turn her head to pick up the bell on the table. When she revealed that extremely familiar face, Qin Shu was completely stunned.

Her brain had even lost the ability to process her thoughts. She only stared blankly at that woman. The face that often appeared in her dreams now appeared in front of her eyes. It felt like she was in a dream.

Until now, she could still clearly remember her mother’s charred body in the hospital. Her face, which could not be distinguished, made people feel pity for her.

That woman. That woman was her mother.

Her mother was not dead, her mother was not dead...

She covered her mouth in disbelief as she struggled not to call out to her. She was afraid that her mother would disappear the moment she made a sound.

It was great that her mother was still alive.

Her body trembled uncontrollably from excitement. She was afraid that she had seen wrongly, afraid that she was dreaming again.

Ling Er, who was sitting at the table, shook the bell at Xiao Jiu. “Xiao Jiu, look here. This is a bell. Doesn’t it sound nice?”

Xiao Jiu looked at the bell in Ling Er’s hand and stood up again.

Qin Shu did not know when the tears had rolled down her face, blurring her vision and making it difficult to see the person in front of her.

She hastily wiped away her tears and strode in hurriedly. She could even have been running instead of walking.

Qin Shu had only taken a few steps when a white figure suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her line of sight.

She raised her head to look at the person who had suddenly appeared in front of her. When she saw the person’s face, she was stunned for a second.

The man had a beautiful face, and his features were as pretty as a picture. He looked like someone who had walked out of a painting. All the words in the world were not enough to describe the extent of his gorgeousness.

He had a slender figure and seemed to be about 1.91 meters tall, which was two centimeters taller than Fu Tingyu.

Wearing a spotless white windbreaker, he had the air of a celestial being.

She could swear that the man in front of her was the most beautiful man she had ever seen.

In her heart, she still felt that Fu Tingyu was more beautiful.

But because she was in a hurry to see her mother, she did not care who the man in front of her was.

Since she did not know his identity, she could not address him carelessly. “Please excuse me,” she said politely. “I need to go find my mother.”

She did not know why she was so sure that the woman was her mother, Wen Xin.

That was simply how she felt.

“Why are you here?” The man paused and calculated the time carefully. He then said, “I forgot that time passes so quickly. You must be thinking of Xiao Jiu.”

He then remembered that Xiao Jiu had been on the mountain for a whole month.

He had not taken a look at the arrays for the past few days, hence he was unaware that there were people going up the mountain.

In addition, Jiu Yan had just gone down the mountain earlier to look for fun toys for Xiao Jiu and was not present.

Upon hearing the man’s words, Qin Shu thought for a second and concluded what she had guessed. She looked at the man in front of her. “You are my master?” she asked in disbelief.

The man nodded. “Yes.”

She had guessed correctly.

Her master was not quite the same as she had imagined.

The master she had imagined had a slender figure. It was the image of a handsome uncle in his forties. He had a sage-like appearance and might even have had a handlebar mustache.

The man in front of her was a little too young. He didn’t have a handlebar mustache, and he didn’t look like a middle-aged man in his forties. He did have a slender figure, though.

He also had this flawless disposition. Tsk tsk. If he became a celebrity, he would instantly outshine both the young and old. He would surely become popular.

Although she was surprised, Qin Shu did not forget that her mother was inside. She said excitedly, “Then please excuse me, Master. I want to go find my mother.”

Her master stood still and said in a cold voice, “Let’s talk outside.”

“Why do you want to talk outside?” Qin Shu realized that her tone was a little agitated, so she repeated, “Master, if you have anything to say, can you wait until I confirm that person is my mother?”

Her master replied, “She isn’t.”

Qin Shu was stunned. She retorted, “How could she not be? She looks exactly like my mother. I won’t mistake her for someone else.”

“I said no,” he repeated.

Hearing her master deny her again, Qin Shu’s hope that had just been ignited was about to be destroyed. She refused to give up and grabbed her master’s lapels. “It’s impossible.” Qin Shu was overwhelmed with emotions. “I wouldn’t mistake her for someone else. She is my mother. My mother isn’t dead.”

“Zi Qing, who’s here?” Ling Er heard the crying and looked in the direction of the Moon Cave Door in confusion.. She saw Zi Qing standing tall and straight at the entrance.
