Chapter 4 Appearance

The rain was coming and the wind was blowing violently, and Xiaolian's sobs became louder under the cover of the sound of wind and rain.

Her slender jade fingers stroked the orchid on the soft pillow, and Xinyou's heart sank: Xiaolian was wearing white flowers and white clothes when she was in trouble. Was it because Miss Kou died?

And now she is...a "Kou girl".

Chill ran down his back, and Xin You didn't feel afraid, but felt cold.

After she returned from her trip and witnessed the tragic death of her mother and the aunts who had watched her grow up, nothing could scare her anymore.

"Xiaolian."

There was some panic outside. After a while, Xiaolian walked in with her head lowered: "What are your orders, girl?"

The room was dark, and suddenly a bolt of lightning cut through the dense night, bringing instant light to the room. Xiaolian saw the girl sitting with her hair spread out, her eyes were astonishingly dark.

The eyes that were so similar to her own girl frightened her for no reason.

"Xiao Lian, tell me more about Miss Kou." No matter how stormy it was outside the window, Xin You's voice was still calm.

This was the first time for Xin You to help someone put on earrings. Fortunately, she had a steady hand and helped Duan Yunling put them on easily.

Xiaolian returned to the room and saw Xin You lowering her eyes and thinking deeply, and said: "My maid will bring you breakfast."

The second girl, Duan Yunhua, was delighted with Miss Kou's amnesia. The eldest girl, Duan Yunwan, was also very concerned about Miss Kou's amnesia. The reaction of the third girl, Duan Yunling, was even more intriguing.

Xin You focused her attention on Duan Yunwan and explained casually: "I asked Xiaolian what the sisters looked like."

Duan Yunhua sat down on the embroidered pier and smiled slightly: "Cousin Qing, don't be anxious, just take care of her slowly. Even if you can't think of anything, it won't affect your future life."

"I took the medicine yesterday and I feel much better." Xin You answered all questions, looking good-tempered.

The curtain opened and three girls came in.

"Third sister——" Duan Yunwan gently touched Duan Yunling.

"I touched my head, so I can't remember clearly." Xin You answered honestly, secretly paying attention to Duan Yunhua's expression, and actually saw a flash of joy in his eyes.

"Then the maid will help you look for——"

She looked at Duan Yunhua, implying that since she had lost her memory, why did she recognize Duan Yunhua?

Counting the time, they should have come directly after saying good morning to the old lady. Xin You motioned to Xiao Lian to invite them in.

Xin You was slightly startled, then curved her lips: "Of course."

In other words, "Miss Kou" who has lost her memory cannot judge from Xiaolian whether the third girl's words are true or false. But the reminder in the third girl's words is obvious. Is it a simple concern between cousins, or is this

What does the third girl know, or is the thief calling out "catch the thief" to confuse the public?

"Cousin Spirit, walk slowly."

Xiaolian held the tray and stepped aside to avoid it: "Third girl, walk slowly."

The next day Xin You got up a little late. She had just washed up and had not had time to have breakfast when the little maid reported that three girls had arrived.

The girl at the head is wearing a pomegranate skirt, with white skin and red lips, like a blooming rose. Xin You learned from Xiaolian that Duan Shaoqing had three daughters, but the second girl, Duan Yunhua, was the daughter of the eldest wife Qiao, so she should be the girl in the red dress.

.

Xin You thought about Duan Yunling's words, and when she saw Xiao Lian coming in, she asked, "When Miss Kou went to offer incense in the spring, did a Taoist priest approve her fate?"

Duan Yunhua stood beside the bed, looking down at Xin You who was sitting on the pillow, his scrutinizing eyes undisguised: "Cousin Qing, have you really lost your memory?"

"Thank you cousin." Duan Yunling touched the hanging warm pearls and looked at Xin You who was smiling slightly and hesitated for a moment, "Cousin Qing, let's go to burn incense together at the beginning of spring. The Taoist priest said that you are prone to disaster if you offend the king of the year.

, as expected, it should have happened in the past few days. From now on, you should be more careful, try to go out as little as possible, and even at home... pay more attention."

Duan Yunling sat down on the embroidered pillar beside the bed and leaned forward slightly.

The first time I met the three girls from Shaoqing's mansion, I felt more and more that Miss Kou's fall from the cliff was not simple.

"You didn't hit it, did you?" Duan Yunling, who was returning, smiled apologetically at Xiaolian and explained as he walked in, "While walking on the road, I found that I lost an earring. Maybe I left it with cousin Qing..."

The rice has been eaten and the soup has been prepared.

"Just find it." Xin You looked from Duan Yunling's empty right earlobe to the pearl earring in her hand and said calmly.

Duan Yunling bent down and looked for it, his eyes lit up: "Sure enough, it fell here!"

"Then cousin, please have a good rest." Duan Yunling stood up to say goodbye and walked outside to meet Xiaolian who came in with food.

Duan Yunhua stood up: "Please take good care of your cousin, we won't disturb your rest."

These three sisters were definitely not the only ones coming to visit today, so Xin You was not in a hurry to make a judgment.

Xiaolian looked confused: "At the beginning of spring, several girls went to offer incense together, but when they saw the Taoist priest, all the maids were waiting nearby, and they didn't know what the Taoist priest said."

Duan Yunling came back to his senses with a start, his eyes flashed: "Cousin Qing, how are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"

"Cousin Hua is right."

The two girls who are slightly behind are the older girl with slender eyebrows and pretty face. She should be the eldest girl Duan Yunwan, and the other girl with almond eyes should be the third girl Duan Yunling.

"Then I won't disturb my cousin."

Duan Yunling waved his hand: "No, you go and do your work."

Duan Yunling nodded and quickly left Wan Qingju.

Duan Yunling held the pearl earrings and was about to turn around, but suddenly stopped: "Can you trouble my cousin to help me put them on?"

Duan Yunwan glanced at Xiaolian and smiled happily: "Fortunately, Xiaolian is here. Cousin Qing can always ask me if she has any questions."

"Xiao Lian, send three girls for me."

Xiaolian composed herself and said softly: "Yes."

Xin You looked up and watched Xiao Lian walk to the door, almost bumping into someone.

"I understand, thank you cousin for reminding me."

"Thank you very much, Cousin Wan." Xinyou nodded and looked at the third girl, Duan Yunling.

Kou Qingqing went hiking with these three cousins. As for the fourth girl in the family, Duan Yunyan, who was still young, she did not go out with her sisters that day.

Xiaolian looked at Xinyou, saw her nodding, and silently left.

"Is that so?" Xin You took the porcelain spoon handed over by Xiao Lian and slowly drank the porridge.

Duan Yunling's gaze lingered on her porcelain face, his eyes a little complicated: "Then cousin, take good care of your health..."

Duan Yunling had not spoken since entering the room. At this time, Xin You looked over and was still in a trance.

In Xin You's opinion, if Kou Qingqing's fall off the cliff was not an accident, the person who did it must be among these three people.

"Third girl——"

Xin You watched the three people leave and raised her eyebrows slightly.

Duan Yunwan, the eldest girl on the side, said in surprise: "Didn't cousin Qing lose her memory? How could she--"

Xin You couldn't help but frown when she thought about the bitterness of yesterday's bowl of concoction, but without saying anything more, she took the medicine bowl from Xiaolian's hand and took a sip, then her face changed slightly and she spat the concoction on the handkerchief.

"Girl, what's wrong?"

Xin You stared at the medicine bowl, her eyebrows tightening even more.

This bowl of medicine seems a little different from yesterday.
