Chapter 257 Jiangnan: Mother's Conspiracy

Lin Yuying greedily caressed her face, as if trying to confirm it wasn't a dream, before embracing her shoulders and arms. She held onto her warm hand and exclaimed in surprise, "It's true, it's true, you're still alive

Lin Keqing took out a gentle silk handkerchief and wiped away her tears, tears streaming down her face as she said, "Yes, I'm still alive, I'm back

After more than 20 years of separation, mother and daughter finally reunited. There are countless words to say, but for a moment, there is no way to talk about them.

Lin Yuying tightly held onto Lin Keqing's hand and looked at her familiar yet unfamiliar face. Tears couldn't stop, blending her delicate makeup and revealing a somewhat haggard face.

Since something happened to you, I have been restless day and night. I often dream that you are still alive, but your father says that I have thoughts every day and dreams every night. Look, my intuition is right, you have really come back

She spoke in confusion, but Lin Keqing always looked at her with a smile. She had never enjoyed maternal love, and this moment of happiness made her cry.

I heard the news and immediately rushed to Hangzhou. When I saw the body with a blurred appearance, I said it wasn't you, but they all said it was you. Look, she's alive, back alive, "she turned to Lao Heshang and said

She saw Lin Keqing's fairy clothes fluttering and her temperament rising from the dust, knowing that she, like Lao Shang, had embarked on the path of immortality. She comforted her and wailed loudly, "My child, I have finally waited for this day

Lin Keqing also felt that it was not easy for her. She couldn't speak and just nodded repeatedly. The mother and daughter cried for a while before the old monk knocked on the Buddhist gourd in his hand and said, "Women's homes are troublesome. Have you cried enough? Let's get down to business now

Lin Keqing and Lin Yuying exchanged a glance and smiled.

Faced with her lost daughter, Lin Yuying didn't want to let go of her hand for a moment. The two sat on the sofa together, pouring two cups of tea with one hand and moistening her throat before talking about the past.

When you were over a year old, I had no choice but to leave you. Even though I miss you so much, I dare not meet you once. But the person I arranged will report your affairs to me one by one every day, just like I watched you grow up every day

She took out a palm sized photo album from her handbag, which was filled with photos the size of stamps. There were over a hundred of them, from childhood to adulthood, some of them were hers and some were strict.

On the cover of the album is a family photo taken using software, with the four members of the family standing together with smiles on their faces. The daughter is Xiao's mother, and the child is like a father, without any sense of discordance.

Lin Keqing saw the photo album with its edges polished, moistened his eyes again, and said emotionally, "Mom, Mom, I'm back. I can protect you, Dad, and younger brother

Lin Yuying nodded in tears and urgently said, "Strictly, have you met him? Do you like him

Lin Keqing nodded and said, "I met him in Hangzhou and had someone protect him all the way. He arrived safely here

Lin Yuying recognized her daughter with a radiant face, her skin shining like glazed white porcelain, and a hint of color in her eyes. She said, "You're talking about Lin Keqing

Lin Keqing nodded and said, "She is my person and can be trusted

Lin Yuying did not continue to inquire about Lin Keqing's matter. She took a deep breath, rubbed her chest with a happy smile, and said, "That's great, that's great

The old monk impatiently tapped the gourd again and said, "Let's get to the point." Pointing at Lin Keqing, he said, "Just tell me what fake death is all about

Lin Keqing hesitated and didn't know how to speak.

Lin Yuying has a woman who is capable of everything, but when she looks at her, her eyes dare not blink, as if afraid that she will fly again.

Xiao Ta's stern voice came again and said, "Lin Keqing, the enemies of the Lin family are a hundred times stronger than you imagine. If you reveal everything, the secret will definitely not be kept. You need to think twice

Lin Keqing pondered, blending all the memories given by Lin Shaotang. Knowing that the 'curse' he mentioned is indeed terrifying, it can be said to be pervasive, sometimes even predicting what he thinks in his heart, causing his plans to frequently go wrong. After several strange occurrences, he finally understood that the power of curses was like a ubiquitous shadow. Later on, he never spoke much to others, and even when he was alone, he dared not talk to himself. He even tried his best to control his thoughts and not let "it" know the slightest bit. This is why he dared not tell Lin Keqing and the old monk about his plan.

Lin Keqing is fortunate that all the sacrifices of the Lin family were made to fulfill her, and all hope is focused on her.

So she dare not take any risks, and there are some things that she cannot speak of, such as rebirth.

She finally spoke slowly, "Since I was young, I have often dreamed that someone was calling me. It wasn't until one day in August this year that I woke up. In order to avoid the curse, I pretended to die and left. I hid and practiced alone, following the guidance of Senior Lin Shaotang to reach Xiaoqingshan. When I met Senior Lin, I found out that I still had such a background

Tears welled up in Lin Yuying's eyes as she exclaimed, "You did the right thing. The death of Xiao Wanrou is well-known throughout the world, which is equivalent to erasing your name from the enemy's book of life and death. Naturally, you can avoid their pursuit

Lin Keqing said, "Who do they mean

As expected, Lin Yuying shook her head and said, "I'm not sure either. All I know is that they are everywhere, like deadly demons. It seems that as long as I'm alive, they can always find me

Recalling the past, she closed her eyes in pain and said, "Since I have memories, I have been wandering. I don't know where I came from or where I am going. Everyone who meets me has a hard time dying. Once, I was adopted by a family, and that night, I saw 'it'. It was like a shadow, hanging the couple who adopted me alive. Strangely, it came straight at me, but couldn't feel me, and every time it made me escape

Lin Keqing said, "At that time, you carried a useless jade with you

Lin Yuying looked at her unexpectedly and nodded, "Yes, I have been wearing that jade pendant since I had memories. It is very spiritual. Later, when I gave birth to you, it fell into your arms voluntarily, and I left it to you

She solemnly kowtowed to the old monk with Lin Keqing and said, "I was born unlucky. It wasn't until I met the master that I found a place to settle down. He took me to Mount Putuo and put in a lot of effort to protect me. You must show him good filial piety in the future

The old monk received their bow firmly and sat cross legged on the magnificent bed, holding the Buddhist treasure gourd. He laughed heartily and said, "Your daughter has extraordinary talent and higher cultivation than the old monk. This time, something happened at Putuo Temple, luckily she helped. Otherwise, my old bones would have fallen apart long ago

Lin Yuying urgently asked about the situation of Putuo Temple, knowing that the mountain gate of Putuo Temple had been destroyed. She also shed tears of sadness, feeling that she had brought misfortune to Putuo Temple.
