Chapter 7057
News of Master Kongyinβs passing quickly spread throughout Japan.
The local people had always respected and admired this long-lived Buddhist master,
So when they heard the news, countless people flocked to Kyotoβs Kinkakuji Temple to pay their respects,
And television stations were broadcasting live coverage of his life.
As Maria boarded the plane, preparing to take off back to China,
Her phone was still receiving notifications about Kongyin.
Maria, heartbroken, flew back to Aurous Hill.
On the plane, Ethan came to the front cabin and saw Maria leaning against the window,
All lost in thought.
He walked forward carefully and asked respectfully,
βMiss, are you okay?β
Maria came back to her senses and forced a smile:
βIβm fine. Itβs hard for you to follow me to Japan.β
Ethan quickly bowed and said,
βItβs my honor to be able to serve you, young lady.β
βDuring the years when you were away from China,β
βI often talked about you with several brothers and sisters who grew up with you.β
βAlthough everyone has made achievements in different countries and different fields,β
βWhen they talked about it, the person everyone envied the most was actually Old Zhang.β
βHe was the only one who could stay by your side for so many years.β
Maria sighed: βItβs hard for him.β
βHe has been with me for so many years, and he doesnβt even have a child.β
Ethan sighed lightly:
βIn fact, for those of us who canβt find our ancestral heritage,β
βThere is no need to continue our bloodline.β
After speaking, he suddenly thought of this short trip to Japan, so he asked her:
βMiss, is that Master Kongyin also an orphan you raised?β
βYes.β Maria nodded and sighed,
βBack in Japan, I adopted many orphans from Kyoto.β
βOver time, I became a little famous in Kyoto,β
βAnd many people left their unwanted or unable-to-raise newborn children at the door of my house.β
βZhengping was one of them.β
At this point, Maria couldnβt help but sigh,
βThat period of time was so long ago.β
βThose children have long since passed away.β
βZhengping is the last to pass away.β
βWith his passing, all the children I raised in Japan are gone.β
Ethan asked him, βMiss, was Master
Maria shook her head: βNot that I loved him the most,β
βBut he had the hardest life.β
After that, she recalled the past and said:
βZhengpingβs mother gave birth to him when she was seventeen years old.β
βWhen Kyoto was at its coldest.β
βAfter giving birth to him, she left him outside the door of my mansion and jumped into the Yodogawa River to drown.β
βIn the weather at that time,β
βThe newborn Zhengping probably wouldnβt have survived half an hour.β
βFortunately, he cried loudly in his cradle,β
βAnd the other children heard it and told me,β
βSo I took him in.β
Ethan asked in surprise:
βThen why did his mother commit suicide?β
Maria said, βShe left a long letter.β
βAccording to the letter, his father was a son-in-law of the Ito family in Kyoto at that time.β
βAnd Zhengpingβs mother was a maid in the Ito family.β
βHis father was suppressed by his wife all day long.β
βSo he got together with his mother in private.β
βLater, Zhengpingβs mother became pregnant.β
βHis father was afraid of being exposed.β
βSo he sent her out of the house and found another house for her to live in and give birth.β
βHowever, the matter was eventually discovered by other servants.β
βThe Ito family wanted to wipe out the roots and killed him and his mother.β
Ethan was puzzled:
βThe son-in-law. Why didnβt the Ito family punish him for cheating?β
βBut instead wanted to kill a maid?β
