Chapter 270: No Difference!
Feng Congqian quietly waited for Nan Yuanman for a while, seeing that she had been drawing for twenty minutes without any intention of stopping to rest.
He couldn’t sit still anymore. He stood up and paced beside the tea table, occasionally pouring a cup of water for Nan Yuanman and silently placing a snack within her easy reach.
He didn’t make a sound, but his presence was extremely strong.
Nan Yuanman finished drawing the talisman on her hand, looked up at Feng Congqian, her fair steamed bun face smeared with red cinnabar, her voice soft and glutinous: “Father, what’s wrong?”
Feng Congqian sat down beside her naturally, stuffed the water cup from the table into her hand, and took a tissue to wipe the cinnabar off her face: “Are you tired? Drink some water and rest.”
Although Nan Yuanman wasn’t tired, it felt good to be cared for. She didn’t refuse Feng Congqian’s kindness and happily took the water cup, sipping it slowly.
Feng Congqian grabbed her free hand and gently kneaded and massaged her chubby paw, helping her relax her hand muscles.
Bai Yi watched without blinking. After Nan Yuanman finished drinking and set down the water cup, she swiftly picked up the other hand and gently massaged it.
Nan Yuanman looked left and right, inexplicably feeling that her current situation really resembled the scenes she had seen in the village of Father and Mother taking care of their child. She couldn’t help but purse her lips and secretly laugh.
Seeing her cute smile, Feng Congqian felt the irritation from work earlier instantly dissipate, his heart feeling soft.
During the rest break, she asked Bai Yi: “Sister Bai, what are some of the hundred little things Mother wanted to do with me?”
Bai Yi was still maintaining Bai Wenyin’s appearance. Upon hearing this, she said in a soft, gentle voice: “Make new clothes for you, braid your hair, cook for you, take you to the amusement park…”
She had a very good memory. Even after so many years, she could still remember the words Bai Wenyin had muttered to Nan Yuanman in her belly.
These little things were truly little things, many of them everyday matters that mothers and daughters would do in their interactions.
It was just that Bai Wenyin’s childhood after being trafficked was filled with beatings, scolding, and endless farm work; she had never enjoyed a normal mother-daughter relationship.
So after learning she had a child, she wanted to do her utmost to treat her own child well, absolutely not letting her suffer the hardships she had endured.
Unfortunately, destiny did not favor her.
Listening to Bai Yi’s rambling, an image gradually emerged in Nan Yuanman’s mind of a slender young woman whose face often wore a smile and who was exceptionally gentle.
She involuntarily grabbed Feng Congqian’s hand, pursed her lips lightly, looked at Bai Yi, and asked somewhat puzzled: “Sister Bai, since my mother’s obsession was so strong that it gave birth to you, why did she… reincarnate so quickly?”
Bai Yi shook her head bewilderedly: “I don’t know either.”
Nan Yuanman lowered her gaze. Sister Bai didn’t know either, so there was only… asking Grandpa.
That evening, Nan Yuanman released Old Master Nan from the small coffin.
Old Master Nan was very happy to see Nan Yuanman, his eyes bright and sparkling, but he still couldn’t fully recover, speaking one word at a time.
When walking, he couldn’t help but bounce a little.
But the purple color on his body had faded, making him look like a normal person from the outside.
“Grandpa!” Nan Yuanman pounced into his arms, rubbing and hugging him.
“Yuan, Man.” Old Master Nan caught her, held her to the sofa and sat down, quietly listening to her chatter about the recent events.
Upon hearing the three words Zhu Tian Cult, Old Master Nan’s brows furrowed imperceptibly, a flash of disgust in his eyes.
His reaction was too subtle, and Nan Yuanman was especially relaxed beside him, so she didn’t notice at first. After finishing her chatter, she grabbed Old Master Nan’s cool hand and hesitated as she looked at him: “Gran, Grandpa, I, I have something I want to ask you.”
Old Master Nan’s gaze softened: “Ask.”
“Did my mother really go to reincarnation?” After Nan Yuanman asked, she hurriedly explained: “I don’t mean I don’t believe Grandpa, it’s just, just…”
Since her obsession was so deep, why didn’t she stay by her side, but instead so eagerly went to reincarnation when she hadn’t even seen her once?
Old Master Nan looked at Nan Yuanman with a calm expression. After a long while, he sighed heavily and slowly said: “Your, mother, indeed, went, to reincarnation.”
“She at that time, didn’t want, to leave…”
A child can’t leave their mother, and which mother would willingly leave the child she carried for ten months?
After Bai Wenyin died, her ghost indeed lingered for a long time, pacing back and forth beside Nan Yuanman, wanting to hold her.
At first, Old Master Nan also thought that if Bai Wenyin didn’t leave, he would use a paper figure to make a body for her, letting her stay in it temporarily, at least buying time for her to see Nan Yuanman grow up.
Anyway, he had been unconventional for many years, and this wouldn’t make a difference.
But on the seventh day after Bai Wenyin’s death, he discovered someone using Bai Wenyin’s destiny to perform a ritual, frantically draining the fortune and merit from her body.
Her soul body grew weaker day by day, even unable to maintain human form, her ghost nature uncontrollably surging and gaining the upper hand.
On the tenth day Bai Wenyin stayed, with her ghost nature fully released, she attacked Nan Yuanman, wanting to eat her.
It was also at that time that a small coffin suddenly appeared on Nan Yuanman, protecting her fragile body, but nearly shattering Bai Wenyin’s soul completely.
Old Master Nan arrived in time, controlled Bai Wenyin, allowing her to barely regain some humanity. She decisively chose to go directly to the underworld for reincarnation.
She stayed to better care for the child, to watch the child grow up, not to harm her.
No matter how reluctant, she knew that leaving for reincarnation was the best for Nan Yuanman.
So when the underworld official came, she didn’t struggle and followed the underworld official willingly.
It’s just a pity that he didn’t find the culprit who drained her fortune and merit.
When he tracked there back then, the place was already empty, leaving only a formation.
After Old Master Nan destroyed the formation, he returned home, after all, there was now an additional child at home, and he couldn’t leave home for too long like before.
Nan Yuanman listened, this time without the sour feeling in her nose, her heart warm and full, even foolishly grinning: “So that means I was also hugged by Mother!”
Old Master Nan: “Mm.”
With the knot in her heart resolved, although Nan Yuanman regretted not being able to complete the hundred little things with Bai Wenyin, she had no intention of having Bai Yi substitute for her.
Mother is mother, an irreplaceable person in the world.
–
Feng Congqian and Nan Yuanman didn’t stay long in S City. On the third day after the matter was resolved, they took a plane back to Shangjing.
After returning to Shangjing, Feng Congqian prepared to take Nan Yuanman to try a class at the kindergarten she had chosen.
Everyone at home was very nervous. Feng Langqing and Feng Yanxiu even specially rushed back from out of town, planning a full family mobilization to send Nan Yuanman to school.
So on a certain day, several low-key luxurious black sedans were parked at the entrance of Sun Kindergarten.
Feng Jingcheng teary-eyed hugged Nan Yuanman and cried bitterly: “Wuwuwu, my Yuanman is going to suffer, how about we don’t go? We have enough money at home to raise you, if not, I can work to support you!”
Feng Zining’s mouth twitched, and he gave him a knuckle rap: “What nonsense are you spouting? Do you want Yuanman to become an illiterate like you?”
Nan Yuanman also helplessly patted his hair: “Sixth Brother, I’m going to school, not to be punished, don’t worry too much.”
Feng Jingcheng cried even harder.
What’s the difference between going to school and being punished?!
No difference!
