Zhiyun's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she repeated what the proprietress had just said: "Widows and widows..."

"Do you think this name is appropriate?" asked the proprietress.

"It's not appropriate." Zhiyun looked at the proprietress with a bitter smile. "He and I are neither married nor engaged. I shouldn't be a widow, nor a widow."

"That's right."

The proprietress nodded and said, "I was wrong."

This time Zhiyun did not return to Xihua. She and the proprietress went directly from Dongjiang to the European Teng Mansion.

Zhiyun was very quiet along the way. No matter what the proprietress mentioned in front of her, she was not interested at all and had no intention of listening.

The proprietress would never know what Zhiyun was thinking.

Only Zhiyun herself knows.

She was taking a gamble. Perhaps, her belief that Han Qingrang was not dead was just a pretense, just like her initial suspicion that Lu Zheng was not dead.

So she's taking a gamble.

She is a person who never cares about the stakes because she has plenty of money and can afford to lose.

But this time, she was afraid that she would lose everything.

Only when she reached the water city did she know whether she had made the right bet or the wrong one.

*

The wind blowing from Simantu in this season is a bit too cold. Zhiyun couldn't stand the cold wind and wrapped her coat tightly.

In her many memories, the country of Simantu seemed to be cold all year round. She didn't like it because the experience was not very good every time she came here.

But the water city adjacent to Smantu is completely different. It is warm in winter and cool in summer.

It's a great place.

Looking at the vast ocean, Zhiyun saw a mist in front of his eyes.

She stretched out her hand, as if wanting to touch something, but the proprietress took her hand back and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"Try to see if you can touch him."

"who?"

"he……"

Zhiyun forced back the mist in her eyes, wanting to see the sea of ​​Vienna more clearly.

The proprietress's voice came from beside me, "Queen Usuda is buried in this sea. He also wanted to be buried in this sea. What's so good about this sea? Actually, the main reason is that he wants to stay by your side."

"Stop talking."

Zhiyun couldn't bear to hear this.

I can't listen to it at all.

The fact that her bet has not been revealed yet proves that she has not lost yet. She still has a chance to win and can wait with full hope.

Maybe, there will really be a good result.

Maybe Han Qingrang was waiting for her on the other side.

"What are you thinking about?" the proprietress next to her asked her again.

Zhiyun shook her head and looked away, "I'm not thinking about anything. Let's go over there."

Now she and the proprietress are on the other side of the water city, still in Smantu.

To get there, cross this long bridge and go to the end on the other side.

"Then let's go," but before leaving, the proprietress didn't forget to say to Zhiyun, "I hope you can be prepared. I mean, be prepared to accept all of this."

"Yes."

Zhiyun nodded.

After reaching the other side, Zhiyun followed the proprietress aimlessly.

The thick city walls and towering spires make it look like an ancient palace from the Roman period, and all that comes into view are Gothic buildings.

They were far away, so Zhiyun asked the proprietress beside her, "Is that the real Teng Mansion?"

"Yes, that's the real Teng Mansion, and it's also his Teng Mansion." The proprietress draped the hooded robe in her hand over Zhiyun. "Just keep your head down and don't look up. I'll take you in."

Zhiyun put on the hooded sweater given to her by the proprietress.

The journey in went very smoothly.

Halfway through the journey, Zhiyun realized she was on the wrong road. She suddenly stopped and looked at the proprietress who was still leading the way. "Where are you taking me?"

The proprietress stopped and turned around, "I'll take you to see him."

"Are we really going to see him?" Zhiyun asked again.

The proprietress: "Yes, I'll take you to see him."

Zhiyun suddenly stopped moving and stood there, whispering softly, "I trust you so much, please don't lie to me. At this time, if you still lie to me, I will hate you until I die."

"Oh……"

The proprietress covered her lips and smiled, "Little girl, just like what you said, what can I lie to you at this time?"

Zhiyun hesitated for a moment and then followed the proprietress again, but she didn't say a word and looked very calm.

Even though the proprietress was used to seeing separations and deaths, she still felt sorry for her at this moment.

She knew nothing, but in the end she had to bear it all by herself.

If you can remember, that would be the best. If you can't remember, then don't recall it again. It is enough to just know that these are the memories about her.

This is the tallest tower in the water city. Standing here and looking out, you can see the endless sea. Looking further away, you can see Simantu, and looking closer, you can see the vast sea water.

Even the overall picture of the water city is not clear.

"Why did you come here?" Zhiyun asked the proprietress beside her in a faint voice.

The proprietress walked behind Zhiyun and said, "This is a good place. You can see farther."

The words fell.

Rumble——

The waves were raging, and the sea water hit the shore, forming white foam that rolled in one after another. The familiar scene once again appeared in Zhiyun's eyes.

Looking out, the water in the Vienna Sea was rolling violently, and a whole whirlpool rose from the bottom of the sea, which looked like a place kissed by a god.

Zhiyun's entire body stiffened, and her hand bones slowly clenched tighter. "Who opened the Queen's stone statue?"

"Who is it..." She frowned deeply.

The whirlpool on the sea surface became deeper and bigger. Slowly, two white stone statues rose from the bottom of the sea and stood on the sea surface.

The first time, Zhiyun saw a stone statue.

A stone statue of Queen Usuda.

But this time...

Zhiyun suddenly walked forward, her hands clenched on the fence, looking at the two stone statues on the sea. Her hands clenched on the fence so hard that they had lost all color.

"Why are there two stone statues? Why, it's him, why..." Zhiyun turned around and almost roared, almost hysterically questioned the proprietress, "Why is his stone statue also in the sea? Why?"

"Because he is dead." The proprietress told Zhiyun calmly.

Seeing her so excited, it must have broken my heart.

"No, no." Zhiyun shook her head, her eyes reddened. "He's not dead. I always thought you were lying to me. I came here to reconcile with him, not to see him off. Do you understand?"

"What does it matter if you understand it or not?" the proprietress said calmly to Zhiyun, "Whether you understand it or not, you must always accept this fact. He paid with his life because of you."

"No..." Zhiyun shook her head slowly, her voice so soft that she could hardly hear it. "No, he's fine. He's fine at all. I believe in my own judgment. You lied to me."
