Chapter 329: Chapter 329: Being There or Not

“Sit, don’t be dazed.”

Nan Tianzong casually gestured to Liu Sisi, who was standing dumbstruck at the doorway.

Liu Sisi still hadn’t recovered from her shock, and just instinctively stepped forward, approaching the wall.

The more she looked, the more surprised she became!

On the wall was painted a breathtakingly beautiful woman, her hair in a fairy bun and adorned with a golden hairpin and a green-jade hairpin, fastened with a dragon and phoenix hairpin. Her brows were elegantly brushed, her cheeks lightly rouged, and she wore a transparent gauze dress as thin as the wings of a cicada, revealing half of her . She held a blooming begonia in one hand and a dazzling green mirror in the other, arranging her cloud bun as she faced the mirror.

The woman in the painting was incredibly life-sized, and the realistic style made the beauty leap off the paper.

These were not the surprises that shocked Liu Sisi, but rather it was the fact that her own appearance was 99% similar to the woman in the painting!

She couldn’t help but widen her eyes, staring intently at the woman in the painting, and couldn’t help but imagine what she would look like if she were to wear that clothing…

“You don’t have to be formal. This is where I stay when I’m in the county. No one comes here easily, so it’s a safe place. Let’s sit down and chat.” Nan Tianzong pointed to a chair nearby.

Liu Sisi followed his words but didn’t sit down on the chair. Instead, she walked to the painting and silently looked at it.

After a good while, she asked softly, “Who is this woman?”

Only after she spoke did Liu Sisi realize how hoarse her voice was!

Nan Tianzong’s expression remained indifferent: “This is my mother. However, she left the world not long after giving birth to me, leaving behind only this painting so I can admire her appearance.”

As he spoke, he looked up at Liu Sisi.

Liu Sisi moved her lips, suddenly finding herself at a loss for words.

“You… you think of me as a substitute for your mother?”

Did she look that old?

Nan Tianzong looked at her again, a playful look flashing in his eyes: “I have an older brother and two older sisters, both of whom inherited my mother’s looks completely.”

“Oh! So that’s how it is.” Liu Sisi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Being someone’s substitute didn’t matter, but if he regarded her as his mother, and she regarded him as her brother, how tragic would that be?

Nan Tianzong suddenly laughed!

“However, when I saw you for the first time, I was still shocked by your appearance, which led to all that followed.”

Was he explaining why he was so special to her?

“Actually, I have three siblings, and I’ve heard that we all look very similar…”

Liu Sisi finally came back to her senses: “Brother Nan, it’s getting late. We should leave. If we return too late, people will have many speculations.”

“You can rest assured! I’ve already sent someone to clean up the mess. It won’t matter if we return later. On the other hand, shouldn’t you take off your clothes and wash them before putting them back on?”

Liu Sisi looked down, only to realize that there were some blood stains on her skirt hem. They must have been left there unintentionally earlier.

As Liu Sisi was worrying about the bloodstains on her clothes, the County Magistrate’s official residence was nearly bursting with panic.

Two living people disappeared out of thin air, and even the spies tracking them lost sight of them. The scene only left a bunch of dead bodies behind, causing great anxiety.
