Chapter 7057
News of Master Kongyin’s 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 Kyoto’s 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,
“Miss, are you okay?”
Maria came back to her senses and forced a smile:
“I’m fine. It’s hard for you to follow me to Japan.”
Ethan quickly bowed and said,
“It’s my honor to be able to serve you, young lady.”
“During the years when you were away from China,”
“I often talked about you with several brothers and sisters who grew up with you.”
“Although everyone has made achievements in different countries and different fields,”
“When they talked about it, the person everyone envied the most was actually Old Zhang.”
“He was the only one who could stay by your side for so many years.”
Maria sighed: “It’s hard for him.”
“He has been with me for so many years, and he doesn’t even have a child.”
Ethan sighed lightly:
“In fact, for those of us who can’t find our ancestral heritage,”
“There is no need to continue our bloodline.”
After speaking, he suddenly thought of this short trip to Japan, so he asked her:
“Miss, is that Master Kongyin also an orphan you raised?”
“Yes.” Maria nodded and sighed,
“Back in Japan, I adopted many orphans from Kyoto.”
“Over time, I became a little famous in Kyoto,”
“And many people left their unwanted or unable-to-raise newborn children at the door of my house.”
“Zhengping was one of them.”
At this point, Maria couldn’t help but sigh,
“That period of time was so long ago.”
“Those children have long since passed away.”
“Zhengping is the last to pass away.”
“With his passing, all the children I raised in Japan are gone.”
Ethan asked him, “Miss, was Master Kongyin the one you loved the most among all those children?”
Maria shook her head: “Not that I loved him the most,”
“But he had the hardest life.”
After that, she recalled the past and said:
“Zhengping’s mother gave birth to him when she was seventeen years old.”
“When Kyoto was at its coldest.”
“After giving birth to him, she left him outside the door of my mansion and jumped into the Yodogawa River to drown.”
“In the weather at that time,”
“The newborn Zhengping probably wouldn’t have survived half an hour.”
“Fortunately, he cried loudly in his cradle,”
“And the other children heard it and told me,”
“So I took him in.”
Ethan asked in surprise:
“Then why did his mother commit suicide?”
Maria said, “She left a long letter.”
“According to the letter, his father was a son-in-law of the Ito family in Kyoto at that time.”
“And Zhengping’s mother was a maid in the Ito family.”
“His father was suppressed by his wife all day long.”
“So he got together with his mother in private.”
“Later, Zhengping’s mother became pregnant.”
“His father was afraid of being exposed.”
“So he sent her out of the house and found another house for her to live in and give birth.”
“However, the matter was eventually discovered by other servants.”
“The Ito family wanted to wipe out the roots and killed him and his mother.”
Ethan was puzzled:
“The son-in-law. Why didn’t the Ito family punish him for cheating?”
“But instead wanted to kill a maid?”
