Inquiry

I could hear the faint sound of music. It had a strong drumbeat mixed with a bamboo string instrument. It was not music I was used to. It was strange but nice.

I found myself calming down. I felt strangely serene and confident.

I opened my eyes and looked at the grandmother in front of me.

She smiled. "Your mother was a good person."

I smiled. "My mother was a ruler of the underworld."

How do you define a good person and a bad person?

It all depended on the person who judged you.

She nodded. "You are as transparent as she was."

"How do you know my mother?" I didn't know much about my mother.

She smiled faintly. "Fate, I owe her my life. Speak, child, why are you looking for me? Do you need my help?"

I was stunned.

Xiao Yi quickly said, "Grandma, Sister Xing wants to ask you about forget-me-not."
