The cellar was dimly lit; a single candle was insufficient to illuminate the entire space.
But the person in the bed was all too familiar to Song.
She knew them so well that she didn't even dare to recognize them.
"To...be the head of the household?"
Song rubbed her eyes hard and found that the person on the bed had not disappeared, so she went forward.
Her fingers trembled as she placed them under his nose, feeling his warm breath, and a lump formed in her throat.
"Is that you, sir?"
She couldn't believe it, and even wondered if she was dreaming.
She clearly saw his coffin being sealed with her own eyes, how could this be...?
"Brother Jiang didn't die back then."
Aunt Qiu, who was standing nearby, spoke up at the opportune moment.
Seeing the couple reunited, she was happy for them.
"But he never woke up."
"But...why? I clearly..."
Song was speechless. The person on the bed had become thinner and older, and even had white hair on his head.
But he was indeed her husband, the father of several children, Jiang Anliang.
"You clearly saw him being buried, didn't you?"
"Yining, the person in the grave is not Brother Jiang San."
Aunt Qiu had kept her secret for almost a year, and Jiang Anliang had lived in their cellar for a year. If Song hadn't returned, she didn't know when she would have revealed the secret.
However, she didn't know how to start the conversation.
After all, she had accidentally saved Jiang Anliang when she met that person. If she told the truth, her affair with him would definitely be exposed.
So she hesitated for a few moments, but couldn't bring herself to speak.
Fortunately, Madam Song no longer cares why Jiang Anliang is still alive; she just needs to know that he is alive.
"What's wrong with him?"
"I don't know either. The doctor said he hit his head and he probably won't wake up in this lifetime."
Aunt Qiu's eyes showed a hint of regret.
I want to be alone with him for a while.
Song was in a state of confusion. She had come to avenge Daya, but she never expected to find that Jiang Anliang was still alive.
The husband died and came back to life, and the daughter was born and died again.
She felt as if a huge net was hanging over their family, slowly pulling them into an abyss.
Meanwhile, Jia Yi acted swiftly, finding out the information about the person mentioned in the letter in just a few hours.
"Master, the news is true, the person is not dead."
"But the people in the Chen family don't know where he went either."
"According to the information we found, the Chen family was ordered by the Wang family to search for the Pingshan Secret Treasure. They accidentally found it on the madam. In order not to alert the enemy, they approached Jiang Anliang and wanted him to divorce his wife and marry another."
“Jiang Anliang refused, so they planned to kill him.”
"He got the news in advance and ran away, but he was caught up with later and fell off a cliff and disappeared."
"The Chen family searched everywhere but couldn't find him, so they found someone who knew how to disguise himself and found a person with a similar build to Jiang Anliang to impersonate his corpse."
"The lady was devastated at the time, and since Jiang Anliang was just a farmer, no one suspected that there was anything wrong with his body, so she took him home and buried him."
"According to the information we found, he appeared once later, and after that, he disappeared completely."
As Jia reported the information they had gathered, he also found it quite strange.
Jiang'an grain really has a lucky life.
They also went to see the cliff he fell from. It was at least ten zhang high, with many dead trees growing at the bottom. It was strange that he could survive falling from such a height.
How did you find this information?
"The information was obtained from an old servant who escaped from the Chen family."
Jiang Bai remained silent.
"What kind of old servant?"
To know such top-secret information, one must be a close confidant of Master Chen, and it's too much of a coincidence.
She had just rescued Song Shi when news came that Jiang Anliang was still alive. Is there really such a coincidence in the world?
“A blind and insane madman, but he’s faking it. I suspect he might be faking it to avoid being silenced by the Chen family.”
Jiang Bai twirled his hair with his fingers, his eyes lowered in deep thought.
“My lord, according to the news, Jiang Anliang is indeed still alive, but I believe that this matter should be handled with caution.”
After thinking for a moment, A boldly voiced his thoughts.
"Oh? Tell me your opinion."
"This is just a piece of information at the moment. In my opinion, we should find the person first and then confirm whether the information is true."
Just as Jiang Bai thought, Jia Yi also felt that this was too much of a coincidence.
Just as the two were about to continue their conversation, Jiang Lu's cheerful voice came from outside.
"Sister."
"Sister."
She ran happily from outside the door, her face beaming with joy. She quickly ran to Jiang Bai and exclaimed, "Sister, Father is still alive! Father is still alive!"
Seeing her come in, and infected by her smile, Jiang Bai unconsciously smiled back. However, upon hearing her words, his smile vanished.
“Mother has already checked, it really is Father, he is not dead, he is still alive.”
Jiang Lu was so happy that she danced with joy, completely unaware that Jiang Bai and Jia Yi's expressions had changed.
A1: Master?
Jiang Bai: Let me take another look.
The two exchanged glances, and Jiang Bai smiled again, saying with amusement, "You silly girl, are you missing your father? If you are, let's go to the mountain to see him tomorrow."
Seeing that Jiang Bai was smiling at her and not listening to her at all, Jiang Lu couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
“Sister, I’m telling the truth. Father is really still alive. The one who was buried before wasn’t Father.”
