Tangning had thought about meeting Miss Tang's family more than once.
After all, the soul in his body is from another world. The meeting will probably be very awkward. Facing an unfamiliar face, he will not be able to say the word "mother".
But the person standing opposite him now was no stranger.
Even if his mother died unexpectedly when he was a child, he did not dare and could not forget the face that should have been remembered for his whole life. After being able to read through his memories, the figure became clearer.
Of course, memories are just memories after all, and they are far less impactful than when the figure in his memory stood in front of him.
He thought about thousands of possibilities, but never thought that his "mother" in this world would look exactly like his deceased mother.
Including the mole of tears at the corner of her left eye.
So when he saw her for the first time, he shouted "Mom" uncontrollably.
His mind was blank at the moment, and all the psychological preparations he had made before coming collapsed at the "Ning'er" just now. He knew that it was impossible to see his mother in another world, but facing this one that could affect her...
His face, which had been hidden in his heart for twenty years, still found it difficult to remain calm.
He was holding on to the table with one hand to barely stay standing.
The Qingli woman looked at him, her eyes filled with tears, and she choked with sobs: "Ning'er, my mother is sorry for you..."
Tangning lowered his head, not daring to look at her anymore, but the familiar voice coming from deep within his soul still made his body tremble.
He raised his hand and slapped himself hard. When he looked up again, the familiar face remained unchanged.
"Ning'er!" Mrs. Qingli grabbed his hand in a panic and looked at him with a worried look.
"It's okay..." Tangning took a deep breath, her voice was a little hoarse, and she loosened her grip on the corner of the table. A look of relief appeared on her face, as if she had put down something, but her body stood straighter.
She looked into the eyes of the person opposite, and the Qingli woman also looked at him. There was a trace of nervousness in her eyes, but more of expectation.
Tangning suddenly stretched out her arms, hugged her tightly, and whispered, "Mom."
The body in his arms was trembling slightly, and there were two traces of tears on his face, but his eyes were full of smiles, and his absent-minded eyes were filled with unprecedented brilliance.
…
Outside the small courtyard, Tang Shui lowered his head and kept pacing at the entrance of the courtyard.
Princess Anyang looked at her helplessly and said, "Can't you just sit quietly for a while?"
Tang Shui looked into the courtyard, thought for a long time, walked into the courtyard, and after a moment, turned around and walked out.
Princess Anyang sighed and said, "If you want to go in, just go in and have a look. You are a family anyway, so what's the point?"
Tang Shui looked into the courtyard and said, "It's almost time. If we don't go back, they will become suspicious."
As soon as she finished speaking, a figure walked out of the courtyard.
Tang Ning supported the pretty woman and said softly as she walked through the steps: "There are steps, so be careful."
Tang Shui looked at this scene, and after being stunned for a moment, joy quickly appeared on his face.
Mrs. Qingli held Tang Ning's hand and said with some reluctance, "It's very late. You should go back quickly and be careful on the road."
Tangning smiled and said, "I understand, mother."
Tang Shui looked at him, and the tight string in his heart finally relaxed.
Tang Ning stood there and watched them leave, then walked out through the back door under the leadership of Princess Anyang.
"Congratulations to the champion mother and son for meeting each other." Princess Anyang sent him out and then said, "Shui'er can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
Tangning slightly cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, Princess."
"No need to thank me." Princess Anyang waved her hand and said, "I just didn't want Shui'er to be so tired. Fortunately, the number one scholar did not let her down."
Tang Ning smiled politely and said, "Princess, please go back quickly. Tang Ning takes her leave."
Princess Anyang nodded, turned around and walked back.
Tangning didn't walk back alone until the back door of the princess' mansion was closed.
Although the curfew time was coming soon, Tang Mansion was just a street away, so he could just walk back slowly.
There were footsteps behind her, Tang Ning turned around and saw Tang Shui walking out of the Princess's Mansion again.
Tangning looked at her and asked, "Why didn't you go back?"
"Sister-in-law, let's go back first. I'll take you back." Tang Shui put his hands behind his back, walked briskly, and hummed an unknown tune. He was obviously in a good mood.
Tangning shook her head and said, "I don't have a few steps to go, and the curfew is coming soon. You can go back early without sending me off."
Tang Shui walked up to him and said: "No matter how big or small, there is no such thing as "you" or "you", I am your sister!"
Tang Ning smiled and said, "Miss Tang, stop making trouble."
He is lucky and happy to meet the person he most wants to see in this strange world. They have the same appearance, the same voice, and the same constant connection, no matter what parallel universe this is.
Or fate or something, he has already determined it in his heart.
But he didn't want to have an extra sister out of nowhere. Although she was kind, gentle, and very kind to him, Tang Ning would occasionally think about it. It would be a very happy thing to have such a sister, but
Just thinking about it.
"I'm not making trouble." Tang Shui looked at him and said seriously: "Whether you admit it or not, I am still your sister."
Tangning turned her head and said nonchalantly, "Then I don't admit it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a slender hand touched his ear. Tang Shui used a little force on his hand and said, "Whether you admit it or not, I have been your sister since you were born. If you continue to be so ignorant,
No, don’t blame me for teaching you a lesson for my sister-in-law!"
The gentle and intellectual elder sister suddenly turned into a savage and willful witch. Tangning couldn't accept the contrast for a while, so she grabbed her hand and said hurriedly: "Let go!"
Tang Shui asked: "Do you admit that I am your sister?"
Tangning gritted her teeth and said, "I don't admit it!"
Tang Shui twisted his hand at an angle again and asked, "Do you admit it or not?"
"Don't admit it!"
"Do you admit it or not?"
"sister!"
…
A good man never suffers any loss. Tangning rubbed her ears and finally understood what Xiao Jue meant by "witch".
It turns out that her previous gentleness, generousness, and gentleness were all just an act. This is the true nature of a witch!
A smile appeared on Tang Shui's face, he let go of his hand, gently rubbed his ears, and said softly: "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt anymore..." After what happened just now, Tangning panicked when she heard her pretending to be gentle. She hurriedly took her hand away, took two steps forward, and distanced herself from her.
"Just be obedient." Tang Shui walked up to him again and said, "If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just tell me that I am your sister and I will help you."
Tangning thought for a while and said, "I'm short of money."
Tang Shui took out a stack of silver notes from his sleeve and handed it to him, saying: "There should be more than five thousand taels here. The others are kept at home. If it is not enough, I will have someone send them to you tomorrow."
Tang Ning suddenly felt that having a sister was not a bad thing, especially a generous sister.
He did not go to take the banknotes, but said: "I'm just kidding, you'd better put these banknotes away quickly."
Tang Shui put away the banknotes and said, "I will find a way for you to meet again."
Tangning shook her head and said, "I will figure out a solution for this matter myself."
Tang Shui frowned and looked at him and said, "Don't show off!"
Tangning looked forward and said calmly, "Don't worry."
He crossed time and space, died once, and finally had the chance to see that face again. How could he give up so easily?
The Tang family was a prison, and he would have to take her out of that place sooner or later. If she couldn't be honest, she would have to steal her out.
Although Tang Shui pulled his ear, but seeing that she was kind-hearted and treated him well, he could consider stealing her out together when the time comes...
