"This handkerchief is so well embroidered. For how much money, I will buy it."

"We are so in love, if you like it, I can give it to you."

"How can this be so embarrassing? I'm here to buy something, how can I let you give it to me?"

"I don't know why, but I felt like we were old friends at first sight when I saw you, so just accept it." Qingyue held Caiyin's hand.

"Meiniang..." Caiyin looked at her excitedly after hearing this. Through her pupils, she seemed to be able to see Mei Niang's still-existing soul looming.

"Sister Caiyin, what did you just say?"

"Oh, it's nothing, thank you then. By the way, since you gave me something, I also want to give you something." After stopping his gaze, Caiyin took out a beaded flower from his sleeve and handed it to Qingyue.

"This..., this is too valuable, I can't accept it." Qingyue refused.

"I'm very happy to see you today. You want to accept it. This is my wish." Caiyin pressed the pearl flower into her hand.

"But……"

"Don't worry, since we hit it off like old friends, it's ours and ours, so you have to accept it."

"Thank you very much."

"It's nothing, I just returned it to its original owner." Caiyin whispered, still thinking about what he had just seen, but he didn't dare to look directly into Qingyue's eyes.

"What?"

"It's time for me to say goodbye. Please take care of yourself." Caiyin stood up, and her inner uneasiness forced her not to stay any longer.

"Sister Caiyin, you have to come here often." Qingyue walked to the door to greet her.

"See you later." After looking at her for the last time, Cain turned around and left.

"Sister Qingyue, she is so strange, the way she looks at you is very different." Yun'er came over and muttered.

"Well, I can't tell you. I always feel...feeling..." Qingyue suddenly covered her head.

"Sister Qingyue, are you okay?"

"It's okay, let's go in." Qingyue returned to the room, took out the beads and flowers and looked at them. She couldn't figure out why, so she put them away and continued to embroider.

Xu Mansion.

"Madam, there is a girl outside looking for you." The maid came to report.

"Girl? Invite her in." Bilian was drinking tea in the hall. She was surprised when she heard that a female guest was coming. Apart from Xiangqiao, she didn't make any other friends who came to her home on weekdays.

"Yes!" After a while, the maid brought Cai Yin into the hall.

"Bilian, long time no see." Cain raised his head.

"Cai Yin? Are you Cai Yin?" Bi Lian was extremely surprised.

"it's me."

"Oh my God, am I dreaming? Are you really Cai Yin?" Bi Lian looked at the woman in front of her in disbelief.

"Of course you're not dreaming. It's really me. I came here to see you."

"You're not..."

"After that disaster, I received the pity of Master Guanyin and was able to be a maid in the Purple Bamboo Garden and devote myself to cultivation. The Bodhisattva saw that I had been practicing humbly for many years, so he realized that I still had one unfulfilled wish and specifically allowed me to descend to earth. , one wish came true.”

"Wish? You mean... Mei Niang?"

"Well, I know that Mei Niang has been reincarnated as a human, and I have been worried about her. I wonder if she will live well in the human world."

"Then have you seen her?"

"I saw you at Luji Embroidery Village."

"Lu Ji Embroidery Village? 'It's really her'. Gu'an and Shilin already know her and have contacts with her. I even rented the embroidery village to her. Does he already know that Qingyue is Mei Niang? "Thinking of this, Bilian's face turned pale, and she felt inexplicably nervous.

"Bilian!" Caiyin saw her serious expression and knew something about it.

"Oh, have you recognized her?" Bilian came back to her senses, stepped forward to welcome Caiyin and took her seat, and the maid served tea.

"No, she is another person now. She has forgotten everything in her past life. How could she remember me? I just went to see her and I felt relieved knowing that she is living so well now. Bilian, you have always been You know about her, right?" Bilian nodded.

"Does Mr. Xu also know?"

"No, he doesn't know that I promised Mei Niang that I would not tell him. I know that he has never forgotten Mei Niang in his heart over the years. He even goes to Xiuzhuang to worship her every year. In fact, there have been several times when I I almost wanted to tell him, but I held back because I was afraid something would happen."

"Yes, you must not tell him. Qingyue is Qingyue, and Mei Niang is Mei Niang. There is no possibility for the two of them."

"Now, Qingyue lives in Xiuzhuang. I don't know how they met. I'm really worried. I can't tell others this."

"Everything has a cause and effect, and the secret cannot be leaked. Bilian, they are two people, don't treat them as one person, and nothing will happen." Although he said this, Caiyin recalled the charm in Qingyue's eyes. The shadow of my mother was still faintly worried.

"I understand. By the way, my uncle, aunt, and Aunt Qing, how are they all?"

"Everything is fine, don't worry."

"We miss them so much. If you see them, tell me that everyone is looking forward to them coming to reunite with the family."

"Okay, I will bring it to you. God is kind to you, and you will be reunited eventually. I am leaving, and Mei Niang will be entrusted to you. Please take care of yourself."

"We're leaving? Can we see each other again?"

"..., we shouldn't have seen each other again in the first place." Cain looked at her and shook his head, then turned and left.

"Cain, don't worry." Bilian called, and Cain turned around and smiled at her.

After walking out of the gate of Xu Mansion, Caiyin looked back at the plaque, shook her head, and walked towards the suburbs. Along the way, she looked at the scenery along the way and thought about Mei Niang's current appearance, and couldn't help but feel happy. As for the shadow, it was extremely faint. As ordinary people could see, there would be no trouble for the time being. Her long-cherished wish was over and she could no longer stay in the human world, so she could go back to heaven with peace of mind. As she thought about it, she passed by the sedan chair walking beside her.

"Stop the sedan, stop the sedan quickly." Shilin looked at the woman passing by in surprise. He quickly got out of the sedan and chased after her.

"Cai Yin!" Shi Lin rushed to the front. Cai Yin looked at Shi Lin in front of him fiercely and hurriedly lowered his head.

"My husband, you have admitted the wrong person." She avoided.

"Aren't you Cai Yin? How could I admit my mistake? You are Cai Yin." Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, Shi Lin believed in his intuition of identifying the person at a glance.

"I'm not." Cai Yin wanted to leave.

"No, you are Caiyin, don't leave." Shilin rushed forward and held her, then let go.

"Cain, you are still alive. That's great. You are really alive."

"Hey, Mr. Xu, let's go over there and talk." Cain sighed, unable to deny it.

"Xiaoxian has met Mr. Wenquxing." Caiyin knelt down and worshiped, and they found a pavilion to talk.

"Get up, there's no need to be polite. Caiyin, we were all very sad when you were framed by Jin Rong. It's great to see you again now." He looked at Caiyin and saw that he had become so beautiful and refined, and he felt in his heart.

It's like a lifetime ago.

"It was also a blessing in disguise that I was saved by the Bodhisattva and was able to continue practicing in heaven."

"..., that's good. Tell me, where is Mei Niang? Where is she?"

"Mei Niang, she..." Cai Yin hesitated, thinking about all the things they had done before, Shi Lin's infatuation, and Mei Niang's desperate efforts.

"She, what happened to her, tell me." Shilin looked at her eagerly.

"She, she has long since lost her soul and no longer exists." Cain looked at his expression and said hesitantly.

"What? It doesn't exist anymore?" Shilin fell down on the stone bench.

"Over the years, I always thought that she existed and had a soul. Maybe she was continuing to practice somewhere, or maybe she was doing celestial work in heaven or on earth. But she didn't want to come back to the world to see me. I don't believe that she has

..." Like a wake-up call, Shilin said so excitedly that his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Shi Lin, she is indeed gone. She disappeared into ashes as early as the day she was beaten to death by Jin Liao. You should forget her."

"She didn't care about her own life and death or her own practice for me. How could I be unkind and unjust and forget about her?"

"But even if she is not dead, it is impossible for you two. Humans and monsters have different paths, and the laws of nature do not allow it. Why do you continue to tie yourself up?"

"Human beings are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless? What's more, she sacrificed her life for me. I will never forget her in my life."

"Both origins and annihilations have their own reasons for existence. Since your fate has been exhausted, you should let it go. Besides, you now have a wife and children, and a happy family. It is best not to be affected by this. This is not what Mei Niang wants. What's more, you

I can’t live up to Bilian’s affection for you.”

"I know all this. For so many years, I have been doing my best to shoulder my responsibilities and fulfill my ancestors' ambitions. But who can know the pain in my heart? I am not a god or an immortal, I am just a mortal.

Mortals who have never forgotten the mortal world cannot be like you who have six senses that are pure and can leave everything behind." The pain that had been suppressed in his heart for many years and could not be soothed was peeled away layer by layer with the conversation, making him ignore Caiyin's face,

Everything poured out from his mind. After saying this, Cai Yin also had tears in his eyes, looking at him sadly and helplessly. He suddenly felt extremely rude. Back then, she also lost her life for herself and Mei Niang, but now she is finally reborn, so what's the crime?

Yes, you have to listen to your own unfounded talk. Thinking of this, Shilin stopped talking instantly.

"Amitabha, I can understand you, but I still want to advise you. There is a time in your life, but there is no time in your life. Don't force it. You should forget what you should forget, otherwise you will bring harm to others. You are the reincarnation of Wenqu Xingjun. There are gods in the sky watching, so you can do whatever you want."

"Thank you, Caiyin. Thank you for saving me and Mei Niang. It was me who was such a bastard and made it difficult for you."

"It doesn't matter. Although fate plays tricks on people, as long as people are not trapped by fate and cherish the present, they can feel at ease. Shilin, remember my words." Although he was worried about their future, he could only give him this advice. After giving some advice and advice, Cai Yin disappeared.

"Cai Yin, Cai Yin." Shi Lin shouted, two lines of lonely tears passed by. After walking a few steps, he suddenly found a silk handkerchief on the ground. He picked it up and took a closer look. There were dots of peach blossoms embroidered on the handkerchief. The person I miss in my heart has drifted away without a trace.

Shi Lin got off the sedan chair near Xiuzhuang, and after sending the bearers and servants away, he stood in the distance and watched the guests coming in and out of Xiuzhuang. From time to time, Qingyue and Yun'er were greeting and seeing them off, and he stared blankly. , Xiuzhuang has returned to life, and seems to have become the sustenance of his soul. After looking at it for a long time, a smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At the dinner table, Shilin and Bilian had their own thoughts and ate with their heads down in silence. Gu'an went to Baoshan's house and did not come back to eat. The four adults were all minding their own meals.
