"Girl, what's wrong with you?"
Xiaolian's concerned voice pulled Xinyou back from the empty scene. She did not answer Xiaolian's words, but turned her head slightly and scanned the people in the room one by one.
The old lady with red eyes, the eldest wife Qiao with a concerned face, the second wife Zhu with pity in her eyes, the frowning girl in the red dress, the girl in an apricot shirt with lowered eyes and pursed lips, the girl in pink with an indistinguishable expression, And the curious girl standing next to Zhu.
Xin You glanced at Duan Wenbai, the second master, who had not said much since he entered the house to clarify the situation, and a chill came over his heart: Kou Qingqing's fall from the cliff may not have been an accident.
"Qingqing?" The old lady shouted in confusion.
Xin You rubbed the center of his eyebrows and explained casually: "I suddenly felt a sting in my eyes just now."
She knew from a very young age that her eyes were different from others. She would see something bad happen to a person without any warning, such as a sprained foot, a bump on the head, or... an accidental death. Of course, you can't see the same person every time, but when you see more people, it's not unusual for this horrifying scene to appear suddenly, which is enough to make her panic from the beginning to the dismay later. Lively.
"It's been hard on you these past two days." The old lady patted the back of Xin You's hand gently, motioned to Xiao Lian to help her up, and continued to carry her to Kou Qingqing's residence with the strong woman on her back.
The plain muslin green curtain swayed and gradually returned to calm.
The old lady then looked at her concubine Duan Wenbai and asked in a deep voice, "Qingqing has really lost her memory?"
When Duan Wenbai came back with Xin You, he sent someone back to the house to report the news. This is why all the masters of the house gathered at the old lady's place.
"Maybe I bumped my head and didn't recognize the person."
The old lady's expression was difficult to distinguish between happiness and anger. She was silent for a moment and sighed: "As long as everything is fine. Mrs. Qiao, please worry more about Qingqing. Let me know if anything happens after the doctor's consultation."
Ms. Qiao bowed slightly and said, "Don't worry, my daughter-in-law."
The old lady looked bored and waved her hands to let everyone disperse.
Xin You lay quietly on her mother-in-law's back and looked at her surroundings.
After walking through the veranda, rockery and green bamboos, you will reach a small courtyard after passing through two moon cave doors. This is Kou Qingqing's residence, named Wanqing Residence.
Wan Qingju's servants came out and hugged Xin You into the house.
A beautifully carved canopy bed is hung with a plain gauze curtain, and a white background with blue flower embroidery is placed beside the bed. The dressing table against the wall is slightly empty, and a short blue and white vase in front of the window is filled with gardenias. Perhaps Kou Qingqing had an accident in the past two days and the maid had no intention of changing, and the white gardenias had become wilted and turned yellow.
Xin You was the first to feel that this dormitory was too plain for a sixteen-year-old girl.
Before she could observe more, the eldest lady came in with the doctor.
The doctor was a female doctor in her forties. She carefully examined Xinyou's injuries and explained the situation to Mrs. Qiao: "The girl has many bruises on her body, but fortunately they are not serious. Application of medicine on time will not leave scars. However, the girl's heart has been shocked and she needs to rest for a long time..."
Mrs. Qiao nodded while listening: "Thank you, doctor."
The female doctor wrote down the prescription and told Xiaolian how to prepare the medicine. Mrs. Qiao sat down on the embroidered pillar and comforted Xinyou softly: "Follow the doctor's instructions and take the medicine on time. If you need anything, just tell your aunt..."
When Mrs. Qiao left with the female doctor and no one else was around, Xinyou asked Xiaolian: "The eldest lady was talking to me just now, why did you look at her several times?"
At that time, the female doctor was explaining the matter. There must be a reason for Xiaolian to look at the eldest wife Qiao.
Sure enough, I heard Xiaolian whisper: "The eldest lady is always serious. This is the first time that I have seen her so close to a girl."
Xin You raised her eyebrows slightly: "So, the eldest lady didn't treat me well in the past?"
Xiaolian's tone was a little hesitant: "It's not bad, it's just... more polite."
Xin You nodded and pointed to the dressing table: "Bring me a mirror."
Xiaolian walked over and opened the drawer, took out a palm-sized mirror and returned to Xinyou. It was actually a glass mirror that could illuminate people clearly. Although it was small, it was definitely worth a lot of money.
Xin You's eyes fell on the handle of the mirror. The rosewood handle with carved flowers and birds showed signs of age.
Xiaolian knew that the girl didn't remember anything, so she took the initiative and said: "This mirror was bought from the capital on your tenth birthday. You liked it then and played with it every day..."
"Really?" Xin You murmured, staring at the face in the mirror.
The eyebrows are picturesque, the nose is red and the lips are red, these are clearly her eyebrows.
"Sister Xiaolian, the medicine is ready." A little maid stood at the door and shouted.
Xiaolian hurried out and quickly came in with a bowl of concoction.
The strong fragrance of the medicine completely washed away the remaining gardenia fragrance in the room. Xin You took a deep breath and drank the medicine.
Regardless of why these people recognized the wrong person or what kind of crisis Kou Qingqing faced, she had to take good care of herself first before she could have the energy to deal with it.
Fatigue hit her, and when Xinyou woke up again, it was already dark.
Xiaolian heated up the food taken from the big kitchen on the small stove and served Xinyou to eat it. Then she directed the little maid to fetch a basin of hot water: "Girl, you are still injured and cannot take a bath. My maid will give it to you first." Wipe yourself down."
Xin You naturally did not refuse.
She had not bathed for several days, and she already felt sticky and uncomfortable.
Xiaolian stretched out her hand to untie Xinyou's coat and wondered, "These are not the clothes you wore that day."
"The clothes are scratched. The one on my body was left by Grandpa Wang's daughter who married in his early years."
"My girl must have been in so much pain at that time. If I had known better, I wouldn't have gone hiking..." Xiao Lian thought sadly, her gentle wiping movements suddenly stopped, and her eyes were glued to Xin You's shoulder.
The girl's shoulders are round and white, with a red drop of water standing out.
Xiaolian blinked hard and wiped the water droplets back and forth with a warm hand towel, but the red that fell on her shoulders seemed to become more vivid after being rubbed.
The handkerchief fell into the basin, causing a splash of water. Xiaolian suddenly took a step back with a look of horror on her face.
It's not a dazzle, it's a drop-shaped birthmark!
Xin You noticed something was wrong and turned her head to look at Xiao Lian.
The panic in Xiaolian's eyes almost overflowed, and she trembled her lips and asked, "Who are you?"
Her girl has no birthmark at all on her shoulder!
"Why do you look the same as my girl? Where is my girl?" Xiaolian was flustered, turned around and ran away.
A cold hand held her wrist, and the voice from behind was also cold: "Where are you going?"
Xiaolian turned around slowly with a pale face. Looking at the face that was exactly the same as her own girl's, it was as if she had seen a ghost. She said in a trembling voice, "I, I'm going to tell the old lady!"
"Then what?" Xin You asked calmly.
"Then?" Xiaolian was confused and incoherent, "Then arrest you monster and find my girl!"
The hand holding Xiaolian's wrist loosened.
"Go ahead."
