419 Meeting Si Chen

On the way, Ning Yue saw that Madam Liu was still a little unhappy and asked, “Mother, we came to the capital last time. Do you think there’s anything different this time?”

Madam Liu perked up and smiled bitterly at Ning Yue. “It’s only been a while. There aren’t many changes on the streets. It’s just a few small vendors who aren’t in their original positions.”

“Mother, there’s a food street over there. Why don’t we go eat something? I heard that there’s osmanthus cake over there. It’s delicious,” Ning Yue said with a smile.

“Alright, let’s go take a look.” Madam Liu shook her head helplessly. “Why do you look like a child who won’t grow up?”

“Mother calls me a child. Of course I’m like a child,” Ning Yue said with a smile.

Madam Liu did not say anything else and followed Ning Yue to the food street. However, as she walked, a figure in front of her attracted her attention.

Madam Liu found that person’s side profile very familiar.

Her brows furrowed slightly. She thought she had seen him somewhere before, but she didn’t think she had.

When Ning Yue saw her expression, she followed her gaze and realized that the person in front of her was a monk.

“Mother, is this an acquaintance?” Ning Yue couldn’t help but ask.

Madam Liu shook her head. Actually, she wasn’t sure if they were acquaintances or not. She just felt that this side profile was very familiar.

“I think I have, but I don’t think so,” Madam Liu replied.

Ning Yue raised her eyebrows in confusion. “Since you don’t remember, forget it. Let’s go eat something delicious.”

With that, Ning Yue led Madam Liu past the monk, but Madam Liu suddenly stopped.

Ning Yue did not stop. Due to inertia, she staggered forward a few steps. She could not care less about herself and quickly asked Madam Liu, “Mother, are you alright?”

Madam Liu’s feet seemed to be rooted to the ground as she stood there stupidly.

Ning Yue frowned. Who was this monk? Why was her mother so abnormal?

“You’re Liu Fang’s sister?” The monk looked at Madam Liu in shock.

“Brother Si Chen!” Madam Liu called out.

Ning Yue was enlightened. So the monk in front of her was Si Chen. No, shouldn’t Si Chen be in Luzhou? Why would he come to the capital? Moreover, why would Si Chen appear here at this time?

“Mother, this isn’t a place to talk. Why don’t we find a place to sit first?” Ning Yue looked around.

There were some onlookers around. They were all curious when they saw Madam Liu with a big belly calling someone her brother.

In ancient times, people were more conservative. For the sake of Madam Liu’s reputation, they should find another place to chat.

“Look at my memory. Let’s find a place to chat,” Madam Liu said.

Ning Yue hurriedly asked Yun Duo to find a private room in a restaurant and arranged for a few guards to guard the door before entering the private room with them.

Although Madam Liu was very certain that the monk in front of her was Si Chen, Ning Yue still had doubts.

“Brother Si Chen, why are you here?” Madam Liu asked.

“Actually, I was still in my hometown in Luzhou seven days ago. I heard that something had happened to the He family recently, so I came to the capital to take a look. I thought I would never see you again.” At this point, Si Chen’s voice was a little choked.

Ning Yue did not interrupt and listened to their conversation quietly.

“Fate really makes fools of people. I lost my memory for many years and only regained it not long ago,” Madam Liu said.

At this moment, Si Chen finally had the time to size up Madam Liu. He secretly glanced at Madam Liu’s bulging stomach and smiled bitterly.

That’s right. It had been so many years. His sister, Liu Fang, was already married and had children.

“The He family…” Si Chen fell silent. He didn’t know what else to say.

Si Chen’s silence made the atmosphere a little awkward. Madam Liu tried to break the awkward atmosphere. “Brother Si Chen, why did you become a monk?”

Could he tell her directly it was because he thought she was missing and would never be seen again?

Without her in the world, his life would no longer be meaningful. Since it was meaningless, he might as well become a monk.

However, he naturally couldn’t tell Madam Liu these things directly.

“I just saw through the mortal world and wanted to become a monk.” Si Chen said bitterly.
