Chapter 518: Chapter 518: Sisi Learns Her Origin, Tianzong Explains the Reason (3)
“In his rage, His Majesty wanted to execute Zhao Dun, but Third Brother saved him at the cost of his own life… Only then did His Majesty lift his surveillance on Heilong Mountain.”
“So, is my mother’s remains really on that mountain top?”
Liu Sisi hesitated for a long time before asking.
“Yes! It was her dying wish. Both Zhao Dun and His Majesty honored her wish.”
Nan Tianzong looked at Liu Sisi, implying something.
“And my brothers…”
“Not only our mother, but also the bones of Second Brother and Third Brother lie in that clearing.”
“I…”
Liu Sisi didn’t know how to start: “I’ve always had a dream where I was a child, held by a married woman in her arms, and as the dagger fell, the blood splattered all over my face…”
Nan Tianzong was clearly taken aback, not expecting Liu Sisi to say such a thing.
“How could it be? You were so young at the time!”
Who says children have no memory?
“Brother Nan, Sisi has a question and hopes you will answer it truthfully.”
Liu Sisi suddenly raised her head and looked at Nan Tianzong.
“You ask.”
Liu Sisi took a deep breath and then smiled.
“Do you remember clearly, how many months pregnant was mother when she initially left? How long did she leave for? And how old was I when she came back?”
Nan Tianzong frowned and looked at Liu Sisi, then finally shook his head.
“I wasn’t that old at the time, so I don’t remember how long she was gone, and no one dared to talk about it. I only remember that when she came back, my maid secretly ran over to tell me mother had returned. I rushed to her favorite plum grove to find her. By that time, he was already insane, and would hit me for no reason. I still remember being afraid of being discovered by him, so I secretly hid in the bushes.”
Liu Sisi’s hand holding the teacup trembled, and the water inside poured directly onto the table, quickly spreading along the surface.
She hurriedly fumbled to wipe it up, and Nan Tianzong also came to help.
After the water stains on the table were finally wiped dry, Liu Sisi slowly sat back down in her chair.
After a long while, she continued to ask, “What did you see back then?”
Nan Tianzong looked at her, “I was only five or six years old at that time, and I didn’t dare to approach from the main road, so I quietly climbed up through the crevices between the stones. I didn’t know where they were at the time, but suddenly I heard his angry roar, and I quickly moved closer in the direction of the sound.”
As he spoke, Nan Tianzong’s facial muscles trembled a few times: “You know the rest.”
Silence spread between the two of them.
“Do you, do you think it’s possible that I’m not, not…?” Liu Sisi carefully chose her words.
Nan Tianzong shook his head and laughed, “What does it matter? No matter who’s daughter you are, you’ll always be my little sister, Nan Tianzong’s sister!”
Yes! Even if she wasn’t the daughter of that madman, she would still be Nan Tianzong’s sister!
Liu Sisi suddenly laughed!
Outside the door, Di Yelei paced anxiously in the courtyard.
Now that he knew about Liu Sisi and Nan Tianzong’s sibling relationship, he hated that he couldn’t just barge into the room and separate the two.
However, reason told him that doing so at the moment would be of no help.
Just as he was extremely conflicted, the room door finally opened!
Liu Sisi and Nan Tianzong walked out of the room, one after another.
“Sisi…”
