Xin You's words confused Xiaolian: "Girl, you said her next target is someone else? Who is she going to harm?"
Xin You walked to the window, looked at the fiery sunset in the sky, and said softly: "Harm the person who attacked Miss Kou."
According to the murderer's prediction, Kou Qingqing would definitely die after falling off the cliff, so there was no need to do anything else. It would be enough to rely on time to dilute the traces of the existence of this cousin girl who lived in Shaoqing's Mansion.
In fact, the murderer succeeded and Kou Qingqing was indeed dead. Unfortunately, the other party did not expect that a person with a similar appearance to Kou Qingqing would be mistakenly recognized.
The cousin's "amnesia" made the murderer eager to strike again. After failing to succeed and knowing that she wanted to regain her memory, plus the news caused by Xiaolian's public cry, it was not a wise choice for the murderer to attack the cousin again.
If the person who pushed Kou Qingqing off the cliff is silenced, even if the cousin regains her memory and remembers who pushed her, she can still be blamed for committing suicide out of fear of crime. She will die without any evidence to avoid exposing the identity of the real murderer.
What Xin You is not sure about now is who did it.
The gentle and low-key eldest girl Duan Yunwan?
Duan Yunhua, the second girl whose mother and daughter work together?
Or Duan Yunling, the third girl with sparkling words?
"Girl, are you saying that the person who pushed our girl that day was among the three girls?"
Seeing Xin You nodding, Xiao Lian gritted her teeth and said, "It must be the second girl! Ever since she heard about the old lady's kiss, she has always squeezed our girl and doesn't want her to become her sister-in-law."
"The possibility of the second girl is actually not high." Xin You walked to the dressing table and sat down, slowly taking off the hairpin, "Let's take a look again."
There was nothing to say all night, and the weather was nice again the next day. Xinyou didn't have to go to greet the old lady, and slept until daylight before getting up leisurely.
Breakfast was brought from the big kitchen, including steamed dumplings, scallion rolls, millet porridge and a few plates of refreshing pickles.
She had just finished eating and rinsed her mouth when the little maid Han Xue reported that three girls were coming.
"please come in."
Wearing jingle bells, three girls walked in in a blink of an eye. The leader is still the second girl Duan Yunhua, the eldest girl Duan Yunwan and the third girl Duan Yunling are slightly behind and not on par with them.
Xin You looked at it thoughtfully.
She grew up in a simple environment and had never thought about it before, but now it seems that in this Shaoqing Mansion, the lineage is quite clear.
"Cousin Qing, I heard that something happened to you again." When Duan Yunhua said this, it didn't make people feel concerned, but instead sounded a bit sarcastic.
Xin You looked at her, curved her lips and smiled: "It's all my sister's fault. Something always happens. Please trouble Cousin Hua to come see me again and again."
Duan Yunhua felt a little weird when he heard these words, but looking at those clear and calm black eyes, he became more suspicious and overthinking.
A person like Kou Qingqing who can only shed tears should not have the courage.
"Cousin Qing, you should rest peacefully and cultivate yourself, and don't go out much in the near future." Duan Yunling looked at Xin You steadily, his tone was quite serious.
Xin You smiled: "Thank you, cousin Ling, for reminding me. I understand."
"Cousin Qing looks good. Wasn't Jing Ma injured yesterday?" Duan Yunwan asked Xin You carefully.
"No."
"That's good, we can rest assured that my cousin is fine." Duan Yunwan smiled, "I heard that my cousin came back late yesterday and went to Qianying Mountain."
Xin You raised her eyebrows slightly, and was about to say something, but paused.
Before his eyes, there was a horrifying scene: the girl was staring at the fish in the pool, and a pair of hands behind her stretched out and pushed her down. The water in the pool was not deep, so the girl struggled to get her head out, and the hands pushed her head firmly into the water.
The water in the pond was turbulent, and the fish were frightened away. Everything was calm, and the girl's face emerged from the water.
"Cousin Qing?" Duan Yunwan shouted when he saw Xin You was in a daze.
Xin You came back to her senses and stared at Duan Yunwan's soft face, knowing the answer in her heart: It turned out to be her.
"What is cousin Qing thinking?"
Xin You raised her hand and pressed her forehead: "I just heard cousin Wan mention Qianying Mountain, and suddenly I remembered something."
As she spoke, she secretly paid attention and caught the subtle changes in the other person's expression.
"What did Cousin Qing remember?" Duan Yunwan forced herself to calm down and asked, her hand tightly clutching the handkerchief revealing her nervousness.
Xin You said in a casual tone: "It happened when I was a child."
"It seems that Cousin Qing's memory is about to recover." Duan Yunwan smiled.
Duan Yunhua frowned: "I hurt my head, is the memory so easy to recover?"
"What did Cousin Hua say?" Xin You turned his head and looked at her, as if he didn't hear clearly.
Duan Yunhua changed his words: "I mean, Cousin Qing, don't be anxious, let nature take its course and take your time."
Duan Yunling hesitated for a moment, then interjected: "It's better to remember it earlier. Is it inconvenient for people to lose their past memories?"
Duan Yunhua and Duan Yunwan both looked over. Duan Yunling paused and twisted the handkerchief unconsciously with his hands: "Eldest sister, second sister, what do you think?"
Duan Yunhua smiled and did not answer. He stood up and said, "Cousin, have a good rest. We will come see you another day."
After watching the three people leave, Xin You whispered to Xiaolian, "That person is Duan Yunwan."
Xiaolian was stunned for a moment, and then she was shocked: "Are you saying that it was the older girl who attacked our girl?"
Xinyou nodded.
"But the girl and the eldest girl have never had any bad feelings -" Xiao Lian murmured, with a look of disbelief.
"The key is not what Duan Yunwan and Miss Kou are like, but the eldest wife."
It is not difficult for the aunt's mother to combine kindness and power to make the concubine work for her.
This is also consistent with Xin You's previous judgment.
Duan Yunhua's dissatisfaction with Kou Qingqing was not enough to be the motive for the murder, and as a mother, how could she be willing to let her own daughter's hands be stained with blood.
If so——
Xin You hugged the soft pillow placed casually on the bedside and whispered, "Duan Yunling is probably a witness."
"The third girl also knows?" Xiaolian covered her mouth.
"She must have seen it by accident."
Therefore, there were subtle reminders repeatedly.
"What about the second girl?"
Xin You smiled sarcastically: "Maybe the second girl is the only one who doesn't know anything."
"Girl, what should we do next?"
"Is there a fish pond in Shaoqing's mansion?" Xin You asked.
Although she had been in Shaoqing's Mansion for a few days, she either stayed in Wanqing Residence or went to Ruyi Hall, but she didn't have time to wander around.
"Fish pond? There is one, just to the north of the garden. The pond is not big, and there are a few koi carps. Do you want to see it, girl?"
Xin You thought for a while: "I didn't go to pay my respects to the old lady today, so I'd better go after lunch."
Soon it was afternoon, and the white sun hung high in the sky. The cicadas on the trees screamed at the top of their lungs, making the lunch breakers turn over several times before falling asleep.
Xiao Lian raised her hands to shield Xin You from the sun: "It's too hot to go out at this time, girl, be careful of the heat."
"It's just for a while, no need to cover up. It's good to come out at this time."
"What are the benefits?" Xiaolian asked curiously
"Usually you don't meet people." Xin You said, looking forward and stopping.
