Chapter 170: Chapter 170: The Compassionate Female Ghost Seeks Justice 3_1

Old Tang’s heart was now also filled with helplessness and worry.

But when he saw his old wife’s anxious appearance, he couldn’t bear to add to her burden. He could only comfort her by saying, "Amin, don’t worry. I’m trying to negotiate with the government. Maybe the day after tomorrow, the government will agree to allocate funds or send someone to take over the orphanage."

He had already thought that if push came to shove, he would just have to swallow his pride and borrow some money from relatives to tide over the current difficulties; then he would find a job to earn more money. He could sustain them one more day at a time—he couldn’t just watch these children starve to death, could he?

Guan Min knew that her husband was trying to comfort her and she didn’t want to say anything more to discourage him.

When she thought of her poor daughter, Guan Min couldn’t control the sadness and sorrow in her heart, and the tears started to pour out of her eyes again.

Seeing that his wife was crying again, Tang Haiquan sighed softly, stepped forward to wrap his arms around her shoulders and tenderly wiped the tears from her face, "Amin, stop crying! Our daughter did well, and we should be proud of her. She accumulated so much merit in this life; she’s bound to have a good next life."

Upon hearing this, Guan Min cried even harder, unable to speak...

After a while, with tears in her eyes and a mix of reluctance and confusion, she asked her husband, "Tell me, why don’t good people get good returns in this world? If I had known this day would come, that being good would cost even our lives, I would never have supported our daughter in taking over this orphanage, even if it killed me..."

Tang Haiquan said helplessly, "It’s too late for that now! Don’t think about it any more; the more you think, the sadder you’ll get. If our daughter saw you like this, even if she has passed away, she wouldn’t be at peace."

The more he comforted, the more Guan Min’s tears flowed, beyond stopping.

Tang Haiquan eventually stopped trying to console her, letting her cry freely to vent her emotions.

He walked out.

Left to herself without anyone to console her, Guan Min’s mood gradually calmed down, and her tears slowly stopped. But how many years would it take to heal the wound left by the loss of her beloved daughter, the pain of a parent burying their child?

By the time Shen Tianxing and Dugu Zixi flew on the Flying Sword to Lifespace Orphanage, Tang Haiquan and Guan Min were discussing selling their house to sustain the orphanage’s livelihood.

Thinking that she had lost her daughter and was about to lose the home she had lived in all her life, Guan Min couldn’t help but burst into loud tears.

But she also knew it was the only way to keep the orphanage going for now.

Her daughter had given her life for this orphanage.

And now, for this orphanage, they were about to give up their house.

She didn’t know what it was all for, this sacrifice of their entire family.

Now, people outside were saying that their whole family was foolish!

In the past, they had supported their daughter in giving up her government job to do charitable work because they felt they had the capacity to give back and to help those in need, which was a good deed that accumulated virtue.

But now, they were left with a broken home and lost lives. Had they really made a mistake?

Was it true that being a bit more selfish was the only way to live a better life?

Guan Min felt that the beliefs she had always held to be correct were now on the verge of collapsing.

At this moment, Tang Haiquan and Guan Min heard a very pleasant female voice outside, "Excuse me, is Mr. Tang Haiquan there?"

Upon hearing that the visitor was looking for him, Tang Haiquan glanced at the clock on the table; it was almost 10 o’clock in the evening. Why would someone come looking for him so late? Was it some kind of emergency?

He quickly responded, "Yes, I’m here, I’m here."

When Tang Haiquan opened the door, he saw two people he would never forget for the rest of his life standing before them.

Shen Tianxing and Dugu Zixi were still dressed in the finery they wore to the auction.

Tang Haiquan and Guan Min, seeing their attire and noble demeanor, immediately knew these two were of no ordinary background.

Carefully, Tang Haiquan asked, "I am Tang Haiquan, and this is my wife, Guan Min. May I know the reason for your late-night visit?"

Shen Tianxing greeted them with a gentle smile and introduced herself, "My name is Shen Tianxing, from Suzhou, founder, and chair of the Xingxi Charity Foundation. This is my fiancé Dugu Zixi; he has accompanied me here."

After the introduction, Shen Tianxing inquired, "May we come in and talk?"

Eagerly, Tang Haiquan gestured them in, "Please come in, please come in. The place is a bit plain and I’m afraid it might be a bit underwhelming for such esteemed guests, I apologize."

Shen Tianxing smiled, "It’s alright."

The office of the Aixin Orphanage was indeed plain, with just a desk and a few stools.

Against the wall stood a tall cabinet, which housed the personal files of the orphans and records of kind-hearted individuals who had donated to the orphanage over the years.

Tang Haiquan asked them to have a seat, and Guan Min quickly poured them a cup of hot tea.

Looking at Shen Tianxing and Dugu Zixi in their distinguished attire, Tang Haiquan felt as if he was seeing hope itself, his eyes shimmering.

But fearful that his anticipation might turn to nothing, he cautiously inquired, "May I ask how you esteemed individuals found our humble establishment? Is there any way we might be of assistance?"

Shen Tianxing spoke softly, "The thing is, we are here at the request of your daughter, Tang Qingyi. She is still lingering due to her concern for you, for the orphanage, and because her murderer has not yet been apprehended. Thus, she has not yet moved on to be reincarnated. I have brought her with me; would you like to see her again?"

The moment Tang Haiquan and Guan Min heard this, they were so agitated that they stood up abruptly, "Yes! Of course, we would!"

Shen Tianxing took out the Jade Tag where Tang Qingyi’s spirit was hidden from the Lifespace, drew her out, and then temporarily opened the Heavenly Eye for Tang Haiquan and Guan Min, allowing them to see Tang Qingyi and to exchange a few words of farewell with her.

Shen Tianxing casually also opened the Heavenly Eye for Dugu Zixi.

Upon seeing the haggard state of her parents, Tang Qingyi knelt crying, clinging to their legs and sobbing, "Dad, Mom, I’m sorry for letting you down, for being a burden to you, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry..."

Tang Haiquan and Guan Min tried to lift their daughter, but found their hands would pass right through her spirit body. This inability to touch her deepened the grief already drowning the elderly couple.

Guan Min also began weeping, unable to even speak upon seeing her daughter in this state.

Tang Haiquan, wiping away tears, said to Tang Qingyi, "Qingqing, please get up, your mother and I don’t blame you. We only blame ourselves for being powerless, for not being able to protect you and ensure a life of peace and safety, nor to avenge you. It’s us who have let you down."
