Ye Jinghong spent a lot of time and effort and finally found the man in the camera who resembled Shi Yan's brother.
But the man was aloof and difficult to approach. His villa in the mountains was heavily fortified, making it almost impossible to get close to him and reveal the secret of his time travel. Ye Jinghong could only secretly follow him.
During her surveillance, she noticed that although the man had completely changed into modern clothes, he still retained some of the habits of people from ancient times.
This made her even more certain that this person was Shi Yan's older brother, and she kept a closer watch on him.
Fortunately, perseverance pays off. Ye Jinghong saw the man walk into a large tree and disappear. To be precise, he was sucked away by the tree.
She waited tirelessly for three days in the vicinity, and finally saw the man emerge from the tree again.
Unlike when he left, this time he was dressed in ancient costume, the same style that Ye Jinghong had seen back in the Great Wei Dynasty.
Ye Jinghong didn't know how to describe her feelings; she was excited, thrilled, and also a little uncertain.
After she passed away, she read some time-travel novels when she was bored and guessed that the tree might be a time tunnel.
But she wasn't sure if this time tunnel led to the Great Wei Dynasty, or to the era she had visited before.
If we're wrong, finding my daughter again will likely be even more difficult.
Therefore, she approached the man's wife and managed to get a job as his family's nanny. In their home, Ye Jinghong saw photos of Shi Lingci from infancy to adulthood.
When Ye Jinghong arrived in the Great Wei Dynasty, Shi Lingci was already being raised by Shi Yan's side, and she even helped take care of the child, so she recognized him at a glance.
What pleased her was that each photo had its age and the date it was taken marked on the back.
The latest photo was taken when the man disappeared from the tree hole. Based on this, the man disappeared when Lingci was twenty-five years old.
Shi Lingci was four years older than her daughter Ye Zhen, which means that at this point in time, her Zhen'er was twenty-one years old.
That night, Ye Jinghong didn't sleep a wink, holding Ye Zhen's portrait and weeping all night.
She was absent from her daughter's life for a full twenty-one years, and she didn't even know what her daughter's current situation was.
Ye Jinghong dared not think any further, wondering if her daughter was still alive and well.
She was eager to return to the Great Wei, so she got up before dawn, thinking of making breakfast for her brother and sister-in-law Shi Yan before leaving.
Ye Jinghong was grateful to them, especially Shi Yan's sister-in-law, a very gentle and kind woman. Without her permission, no outsider could enter this villa.
She approached her with a purpose, but in return, she gained her trust. Ye Jinghong wanted to make one last breakfast as a way of thanking her.
Unexpectedly, the couple who were in charge of the household also got up. The woman smiled gently and said to Ye Jinghong, "You're up too. I was just about to tell you that my brother-in-law is getting married, so we'll have to leave for a while. You can take some time off during this period..."
"Smack!"
The sound of a porcelain bowl hitting the ground.
Ye Jinghong realized what had happened and quickly squatted down. "Sorry, my hand slipped. I'll clean it up right away."
The woman smiled and said, "It's good that you're alright. It's just a bowl. We're leaving now and won't be eating at home, so you can cook for yourself."
After speaking, she turned around and left hand in hand with the man who had walked over.
Ye Jinghong was no longer in the mood to make her own breakfast. Watching the two figures leave, she slowly got up and leaned against the stove.
But the woman's voice kept echoing in his mind, "My brother-in-law is getting married, my brother-in-law is getting married, getting married..."
Shi Yan is getting married!
Over the years, she had deliberately avoided thinking about Shi Yan. Back then, she had chosen her beliefs and mission, left him, and kept it a secret from her daughter.
She was in the wrong and had no right to interfere in his marriage. He was such a good man and deserved his own happiness.
But why do I feel so sad?
Ye Jinghong closed her eyes.
She shouldn't have any more delusions. Her most important thing now is to go back to her daughter and make up for everything that belongs to her.
As for Shi Yan, she had wronged him in this life, but in the next life, if he is willing, she will never leave him and will repay him.
Before leaving, she couldn't resist sneaking into the master's room and taking a solo photo of Shi Yan from the master's carefully kept photo albums.
Yes, those photo albums contain not only photos of Shi Lingci, but also of Shi Yan.
Ye Jinghong didn't know if the time tunnel could carry foreign objects, so she sewed the photos into the lining of her coat.
She knew Shi Yan; no one could force him to marry someone he didn't truly love.
Therefore, even if she returned to the Great Wei, it would be inconvenient for her to appear in front of him again and disturb his new life.
Instead, she should return to Da Yuan as soon as possible to find her daughter. If nothing unexpected happens, they will probably never see each other again in this lifetime. Let this photo be her last memento.
Little did she know, the two who were pretending to leave saw everything clearly.
The woman sighed, "Judging from her appearance, she still has feelings for A-Yan. Our A-Yan has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel."
The man put his arm around his wife's shoulder. "We only left her a few clues, but she's been so persistent in tracking and stalking her. It's clear she really wants to go back to Dawei. Let's go. There's good news at home, so we should go home too."
Ye Jinghong left the villa and headed straight for the big tree in the time tunnel.
Before approaching the tree, she touched the spot on her chest where the photo was hidden, making sure it was still there. She took a deep breath and tentatively reached out to the tree.
Seeing his hand pierce through the tree, Ye Jinghong felt a surge of excitement and, without hesitation, walked into the tree.
Then the world spun around, and I was plunged into darkness.
