Xin You's serious expression made Zhou Ningyue increasingly worried: "Sister Kou, what's wrong?"
"What I want to say, Sister Zhou may find it strange——"
"Sister Kou, tell me." Zhou Ningyue's worry turned to curiosity.
She has traveled thousands of miles from south to north. What can she say that makes her feel strange?
"I actually...can read faces."
Zhou Ningyue's expression was dull for a moment.
Look, look at faces?
It’s really strange that a girl about the same age as Sister Kou can read faces...
Xin You saw Zhou Ningyue's reaction in her eyes, and her expression became more serious: "Did Auntie suffer from fire a few days ago?"
Zhou Ningyue's eyes suddenly opened wide and she blurted out: "How does Sister Kou know?"
Her first reaction was that Ji Cailan told Xin You, but she soon realized that her mother had never told her cousin that her hand was burned that night.
Xin You smiled and her serious expression softened a little: "Didn't I tell Sister Zhou just now that I can read faces?"
Zhou Ningyue maintained a shocked expression and forgot to react for a moment.
Xin You's tone changed: "But the fire disaster that Auntie suffered is not serious, is it?"
"Yes." Zhou Ningyue nodded subconsciously.
"Probably just a minor burn."
Zhou Ningyue nodded fiercely: "Yes!"
"When I saw my aunt, I looked solemn. It wasn't because my aunt had suffered a fire, but -"
"But what?" At this point, Zhou Ningyue completely believed Xin You's words, and there was tension in her tone that she had not noticed.
"I look at my aunt's face and I see that a bloody disaster is coming soon."
"What?" Zhou Ningyue stood up.
Ji Cailan happened to walk in and couldn't help but be surprised when she saw the situation in the house: "What happened?"
Was there a quarrel?
Zhou Ningyue grabbed Xin You's wrist: "Cousin, please sit down first, while Sister Kou and I go to the toilet."
Ji Cailan sat down and sighed as she watched the two people leaving.
Did my cousin and sister Kou go to the toilet together so soon?
The toilet of the Zhou family is a short room built behind the house. Zhou Ningyue and Xin You stood far away from the toilet and asked her urgently: "Sister Kou, what do you mean when you say that my mother suffered a bloody disaster?"
"That's the literal meaning. If you don't take precautions, there will be bloodshed."
"so what should I do now?"
Xinyou was silent.
"Sister Kou, tell me." Zhou Ningyue was so anxious that she had tears in her eyes.
"I need to talk to my aunt, but I'm afraid that my aunt will think it's nonsense and might not even let us be friends."
"No, my mother is the gentlest." Zhou Ningyue thought for a while, "Then let me talk to my mother first."
Xin You went back to accompany Ji Cailan, while Zhou Ningyue went to the main room to see Zhou's mother.
"Why don't you accompany your friends?" Seeing her daughter come in, Zhou's mother asked with a smile.
Zhou Ningyue leaned over and took Zhou's mother's arm: "Mom, do you know that Sister Kou knows physiognomy."
"Do you know physiognomy?" Mother Zhou couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "I remember you said after reading a storybook a few years ago that you could suddenly interpret dreams."
"Mother!" Zhou Ningyue glared at Zhou's mother, "I'm crazy, but Sister Kou is really capable. As soon as Sister Kou saw you, she could see that you had been burned a few days ago."
"Seriously?" Mother Zhou stopped smiling and her expression became subtle.
"This is still false. You didn't tell your aunt or the others that your hand was burned. How could Sister Kou know about it if she didn't know physiognomy?"
"Then why did you come to see my mother?" No less innocent than her daughter, Zhou's mother immediately understood that Zhou Ningyue came to her for something else.
"Sister Kou said you will suffer a bloody disaster in the near future."
Zhou's mother frowned and said in deep thought: "Yue'er, go and invite Miss Kou over. You can accompany your cousin in the west wing."
"Oh." Zhou Ningyue didn't expect that Zhou's mother would take the initiative to see Xin You before she mentioned it, so she hurriedly responded and returned to the west wing.
"Sister Kou, my mother will ask you to come over." Zhou Ningyue sent Xin You to the main room and then came back.
"Cousin, what does aunt want to do with sister Kou?"
Zhou Ningyue looked innocent: "I don't know either."
In the east room of the main house, Xin You blessed Zhou's mother: "Auntie."
Mother Zhou looked at the elegant girl with a searching look in her eyes.
"Miss Kou, please sit down."
Xin You sat on the embroidered pier generously.
"I heard from Yue'er that you are proficient in physiognomy."
"A little bit of dabbling."
Seeing Xin You's hearty admission, Zhou's mother's eyes became more probing: "Miss Kou, do you think I'm going to suffer a bloody disaster?"
Xin You nodded: "Yes, and it is a bloody disaster that threatens life. Sister Zhou and I are destined to know each other. Although I know that it is hard to believe what I said, I still can't bear to make Sister Zhou sad."
"Then Miss Kou, can you tell me specifically what kind of bloody disaster I will encounter? And how to avoid it?" Zhou's mother tongue was gentle, making it difficult for people to see his true attitude.
Xin You shook his head slightly: "I can only tell that my aunt's bloody disaster happened recently. I don't know the details, but it is related to someone close to me."
Hearing Xin You say that it was related to someone close to her, Zhou's mother's eyes flashed slightly, and her expression was a little strange at that moment.
Xin You looked as if he hadn't seen it, with a hesitant look on his face: "As for how to avoid it, I have to be more careful, Auntie. Try not to get into quarrels with others, and you should be able to avoid this disaster."
"Thank you, Miss Kou, for reminding me." Mother Zhou smiled and thanked her.
Xinyou couldn't see the other person's true thoughts, and she didn't force him.
She reminded Zhou's mother that it was out of humanity and she didn't want Zhou's mother to die at the hands of Zhou's father, making subsequent investigations more difficult.
Her real plan was to sneak into Zhou's house early on the Mid-Autumn Festival. It would be better if she could hear the reason for the dispute between Zhou's mother and Zhou's father.
She was certain that the quarrel that could lead to the death of Zhou's mother was related to her mother.
"Miss Kou, go play with Yue'er and the others."
As soon as Xin You left, Zhou's mother's expression turned solemn.
Does my daughter’s new friend really understand physiognomy, or does he have other agendas?
If what the girl said was true, what kind of bloody disaster was related to the people close to him?
Zhou's mother's mind was racing, and she doubted Xinyou's purpose for a while, and wondered what the bloody disaster would be. In addition, she had been tortured by guilt for many days and couldn't eat or sleep well. The more she thought about it, the more upset she became, and she even felt like vomiting.
At noon, Zhou's mother had not eaten a few mouthfuls, and Zhou Ningyue in the west wing couldn't eat. After sending Xin You and Ji Cailan away, she couldn't wait to run to Zhou's mother.
"Mom, what did Sister Kou say to you?"
"Just say be careful and don't argue with others."
"Can this be avoided?"
Zhou's mother raised her hand to straighten her daughter's broken hair, smiling gently: "Yes, you can avoid it this way, so don't think too much."
Zhou Ningyue breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I was worried that you wouldn't listen to what Sister Kou said."
"No way, Miss Kou also has good intentions." Mother Zhou paused and calmly told her daughter, "Don't mention what Miss Kou said to your father."
