Chapter 3 The Dream
Chapter 3: Shocking Dream
Xiaolian watched the girl silently pull the thin quilt and cover her body, but her feet stopped moving.
"Why are you pretending to be my girl?" She stepped forward, stepped on the wet ground without any notice.
Xin You raised her eyes and looked calm: "I didn't. I said at that time, I don't know you, you recognized the wrong person."
Xiaolian raised her eyebrows and was a little angry: "Then why did you follow us again?"
Xin You looked at her with a mocking look on her face: "Can I resist?"
Xiaolian couldn't help but feel absent when she thought of the scene.
At that time, the girl was forcibly brought back by the second master.
After a moment of silence, Xiaolian bit her lip: "Stay for one night first, and wait for tomorrow morning, and you will follow me to explain it to the old lady."
As the night became deeper, the sound of insects came in through the Ruyi window lattice, clearly and continuously. Xin You looked at Xiaolian and confirmed that this was a loyal maid who protected the master, and she was considered kind-hearted.
She had the idea of having a good talk.
Xin You lowered her eyes: "I borrowed Miss Kou's identity, what's the point of my name?"
Xiaolian's face turned pale and she thought of the girl's wet nurse, Madam Fang. Madam Fang accompanied her to Beijing with her. After making a mistake, she was sent to the village. She had never seen her again.
Xin You tightened the quilt a little, and her tone was slightly cool: "If they don't believe it, I'm afraid you can't be left by my side."
The difference is that there are, but not big. At least she heard a little difference, but thought it was because of the girl's physical discomfort. As for the old lady and others, it is probably more difficult to detect than if she had sex with the girl day and night.
What better cover than being another person?
Xin You looked at Xiaolian regularly and asked word by word: "Are you sure, do they hope your girl is still alive?"
Compared to Xiaolian's horror, the girl under the candlelight seemed particularly calm: "The three girls from Shaoqing's mansion climbed the mountain together with Miss Kou, only Miss Kou fell off the cliff. Even if it was only possible that it was not an accident, it was worth thinking about it. What do you think?"
Because of the reappearance, she noticed more details, such as Xiaolian's clothes. In the picture, she only saw Xiaolian's upper body, with white velvet flowers tied between Xiaolian's hair, and her clothes were also white.
Xiaolian's heart calmed down for no reason: "What deal?"
Xin You touched the corner of her lips and a faint smile appeared: "Do you think they believe it?"
Although Xin You slept today, she soon felt sleepy and fell asleep in a daze.
Thunder rolled outside the window and rained.
It was not a dream of foreseement, but the scene seen in the daytime was too profound and reappeared in the dream.
In the dream, a pair of hands raised due to forceful blue veins, and the soft pillow embroidered with orchids moved away, revealing Xiaolian's already angry face.
Xiaolian opened her eyes wide and stared at the familiar face.
Xiaolian's expression relaxed and asked, "I don't know what the girl calls her?"
It turned out that Xiaolian hadn't been sleeping.
"How about making a deal?" The girl leaned against the head of the bed with a calm expression on her face.
Xin You bent her lips, and she was laughing, but it made people feel bitter: "I went to Beijing alone and needed a place to stay. Before I found Miss Kou, let me stay here for a while."
"The voices of you and my girl are also different-" Xiaolian's voice lowered.
"When I get well, I will accompany you to find Miss Kou on the grounds of visiting Grandpa Wang. Then, whenever I find your girl, I will cooperate with her to secretly change her identity."
Xiaolian's expression kept changing, and she pursed her lips and said her decision: "If... if my girl is gone, you can continue to live as a girl, but I have a condition."
If the old lady didn't believe her, she would think she was hysterical and her fate might not be as good as Madam Fang. And if something happened to her, the fake girl was in the house again, who would know the girl?
"If they believe it--" Xin You saluted.
She didn't know who the murderer was to kill her mother. She pursued the murderer in this unfamiliar capital city. Rather than saying that she needed a place to stay, she needed a safe identity.
Xiaolian couldn't help but nod.
Xin You nodded: "Okay."
With a loud bang, Xin You suddenly opened her eyes and sat up.
The sudden rain in summer always comes so unexpectedly. The rain hits the window lattice quickly, and Xin You listens with her ears and vaguely hears the depressing sobs.
This is naturally safer than the unknown result now.
As soon as May entered, the night was a little stuffy and suddenly the coolness hit his shoulder. Xin You was stunned for a moment before she realized that it was Xiaolian's tears.
Xin You nodded and said softly: "Thank you."
"My maid rests outside. Please give me instructions if you have any questions." Xiaolian put out the candlelight and walked out gently.
If she was the only little maid left, let alone secretly investigating, whether she could stay in Shaoqing's mansion was just a matter of the master. If this girl wanted to gain a foothold as a girl for the time being, she wouldn't need a "girl" by her side.
There are so many people in Shaoqing's Mansion, but the real outsider is the only one who is Kou Qingqing's master and servant. Once the suspicion comes together, it will grow like spring grass after the rain, growing freely.
Xin You glanced at the door and thought of the dream she had just now.
"It's OK." Xiaolian walked to the door and called the little maid to change a basin of hot water again, wring out a hand towel to wipe Xinyou's body.
Yes, the four girls climbed the mountain together, why was the only girl in her family who fell off the cliff? Is it really a girl who is not lucky?
At this time, it seemed that the facial features and face shapes of this girl were slightly different from her own girl. However, she was too excited to find someone during the day, and her hair was disheveled and not dressed up. She didn't think much about it.
After brushing her body and changing into the middle robes that Miss Kou had not yet worn, Xin You suddenly felt much more refreshed.
Xiaolian was silent for a moment and bent her knees: "Girl, let's continue to wipe your body."
"Impossible, my girl is the old lady's only granddaughter. The old lady loves the girl very much. The old lady also said that she would be betrothed the girl to the eldest son and kiss her..." Xiaolian subconsciously retorted, but her face became increasingly ugly.
"Then what do you want?" Xiaolian asked with her heart.
The blood on Xiaolian's face instantly faded: "You, what do you mean?"
Think about it calmly, how many may survive a girl fall down from such a high cliff?
Xiaolian choked with tears in her eyes and said, "Please help me check if my girl's fall from the cliff was accidental!"
"Of course-" Xiaolian blurted out, but looking at the face that was almost exactly the same as her own girl, she couldn't continue to say anything.
Seeing that Xin You didn't say anything, Xiaolian hesitated for a moment and stamped her feet: "Forget it, I'll talk when you're well prepared!"
For example, Xin You's eyes moved downward and fell on the soft pillow at the head of the bed.
The soft pillow was still stained with her body temperature, and there were traces of her pillow passing by. The apricot satin pillowcase had a corner of orchid and leaves, blooming quietly.
It turns out it's this pillow.
Xin You reached out and picked up the soft pillow embroidered with orchids.
