Chapter 657 Part One and Part Two

Meng Shisan nodded: "There aren't many good times, but Danqing is still pleasing to the eye."

"Miss Meng is too modest." Old Ma pointed at the figure in the painting on the table and said, "Miss Meng is the first person to paint my daughter so vividly."

Meng Shisan pursed his lips and smiled, but said nothing.

Although the identity of the girl in the painting has not been revealed, her appearance is exactly the same as her original appearance. This is the most factual fact. Since this is the case, no one knows herself better than her, so when she paints herself, naturally no one can rival her.

Even details that others cannot capture, she can capture them, and paint them in the painting, making them exactly the same.

During the capture process, she discovered that there was something different. There was an old scar on the center of the left hand of the female corpse, which she did not have.

"I have a question. I wonder if you would be willing to help Liangchen solve it?" Meng Shisan asked.

"Miss Meng, please speak." Mr. Ma still had many questions to ask Meng Shisan. At this moment, as long as Meng Shisan's questions were answered by him, he would satisfy all of them.

Meng Shisan stretched out his hand and pointed at the left hand of Meng Shisi in the painting: "When I was painting your lady's left hand, I found an old scar on the palm of her hand. It's about half a finger long and thin. I think it won't be difficult to restore it to its original state. It shouldn't leave a scar."

Cui Yu, who had been listening silently at the side, looked at the position where Meng Shisan pointed and found that Meng Shisi's hands were folded and clasped together and placed flat on his abdomen. He could not see the scar on the palm of Meng Shisi's left hand that Meng Shisan mentioned.

Old Ma didn't even look at Danqing. He stared at Meng Shisan. "Ms. Meng is really attentive. If Miss Meng can answer one of my questions first, I will tell you everything I know."

"Please speak, old man." Meng Shisan agreed.

Ma Lao asked: "Since Miss Meng can paint the portrait of my young lady, she must be able to get within ten steps of my young lady's grave. What I want to ask is how Miss Meng can get within ten steps of the grave?"

This question was also the one that came to Cui Yu's mind immediately after he was stopped ten steps away from the tomb mound. He thought of why Meng Shisan could paint the female corpse in the tomb mound. He had wanted to ask this question after meeting Meng Shisan today. Now that Mr. Ma asked it, he was also waiting for Meng Shisan's answer.

"It seems that your young lady and I, Meng Liangchen, have a special destiny." After Meng Shisan discovered that Li Shou, like her, could actually enter within ten steps of the tomb mound, she also wondered why Li Shou could enter. But not only did she not know the reason, even Li Shou himself did not know the reason.

Now Mr. Ma's doubts are similar to her doubts about Li Shou. Both are confusing and even the parties involved cannot explain them clearly.

Ma Lao was not very satisfied with Meng Shisan's answer. He just frowned and wanted to ask again, but he heard Meng Shisan continue to say: "Besides that, Liangchen doesn't know the reason either."

"Really?" Cui Yu asked.

Meng Shisan glanced at Cui Yu and said, "Half and half."

Cui Yu was anxious: "Then the other half..."

Meng Shisan interrupted, "Sincerity? Both sides have to show it. If only one side shows sincerity, then what's the point of talking?"

Cui Yu felt suffocated. He wanted to talk with sincerity, but the problem was the identity of the girl in the painting. Among the three, he was the least sincere.

The roundabout lies used in the trading market do not apply here.

Old Ma understood that the beautiful mortal girl in front of him wanted him to reveal her cards first, instead of Meng Shisan who had already taken out Meng Shisi's painting and revealed the fact that Meng Shisan could enter within ten steps of the grave, dig up the grave and open the coffin, and found a male corpse next to the female corpse, and the two corpses were sleeping together. However, he did not tell the truth at first. Instead, when facing Meng Shisan's questions, he asked instead of answering.

To put it bluntly, the two of them met for the first time, and they didn't know each other very well. They just got to know each other through Cui Yu, the middleman, and got to know each other a little bit.

He didn't trust her, thinking that she would most likely be the new disappointment just like the disappointments of past years.

Then on the contrary, she could of course not trust him, not thinking that he would be honest if she was honest, so she questioned his sincerity to his face.

She was frank and straightforward in her words, and her gentle temperament concealed a sharp edge, which made him look up to the eldest lady of the Meng family.

"Miss Meng is right. We should all show our sincerity." Elder Ma nodded. "I am eager to know why Miss Meng was able to enter within ten steps of my young lady's resting place. It is because Miss Meng is the first person in such a long time."

"Even the old gentleman can't do it?" Meng Shisan asked.

Ma Lao said: "No, so I am very surprised."

Meng Shisan said: "Then Liangchen can tell the old gentleman that besides Liangchen, there is another person who can enter within ten steps of the resting place of your lady."

Cui Yu's eyes widened unconsciously: "Who?"

Mr. Ma stood up in shock, then bowed deeply and said, "Please tell Miss Meng!"

"His Royal Highness the current Crown Prince." Meng Shisan replied.

"Prince?" Old Ma was stunned. He never expected that a mortal prince could enter within ten steps of his master's tomb. "How did Miss Meng know?"

"Liangchen saw it with his own eyes." Meng Shisan did not stand up. She raised her head and met Ma Lao's eyes, which had not yet recovered from the shock. "Old sir, let's sit down and talk."

Although Cui Yu was also surprised, he was not involved in the situation and had nothing to do with Meng Shisi. He was not as excited as Mr. Ma and quickly suppressed his emotions.

Mr. Ma also sat back in his chair as he was told.

Since Meng Shisan was able to name Li Shou, she was also willing to tell him more details.

So she roughly recounted the story of how she and Li Shou met by chance at a tomb mound in the forest of the Zhishang Taoist temple, and how they later walked within ten steps of the tomb mound one after another.

Elder Ma nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Then Miss Meng is the first one, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the second one... This is truly unprecedented!"

Regardless of whether he gained anything else from this trip today, just getting these two pieces of information would make it worth it!

"I am the first person, Your Highness is the second, but the old sir cannot. Do you know the reason?" Meng Shisan looked at the excited expression of Mr. Ma. She did not hold too much hope. She asked this question with the hope of knowing as much as possible.

Old Ma glanced at Cui Yu. He originally wanted Cui Yu to avoid it, but he thought that today's trip was sincerely invited by Cui Yu, and Meng Shisan was also invited by Cui Yu. If he really did this now, wouldn't he be destroying his bridges after crossing the river?

He cannot but be moral.

Cui Yu was suddenly looked at: "Old sir..."
