Chapter 15: Return to Gaofu
Chapter XV. Introduction
In the woods on the outskirts of Pingcheng, a woman in a green shirt with a white veil stood quietly in the forest, and behind her was a maid dressed as a maid who was also wearing a veil, and the eyes of the two were a little flustered in melancholy, but the young lady in front of the maid pretended to be calm.
Looking at the expressions of the two, it looks like they are waiting for someone. Not long after, three men came to the forest, among which the one in front of him had thick arms and round waists, and his face was full of stubble.
Seeing the man coming, the young lady in green clothes took a nervous breath and waited to meet the man.
The man with a big face and a thick waist gave up his hand in front of the green-clothed lady with some frustration, "Miss, I missed this time, Miss Sophomore is still alive and well, I don't want the rest of the silver, this mission is my mistake, please forgive Miss." β
The face of the young lady in green changed under the veil, "I can't do such a thing, what kind of slashing hands, Miss Ben is really looking for the wrong person this time." β
The round-faced man's face twitched in humiliation, and he put down his words again, "I'll give Miss one more thing, and next time you ask me to do something, I won't accept Miss's gift, it's a mistake this time." β
The young lady in green smiled coldly, and turned away with her attendant.
Walking out of the woods, the green-clothed lady got into the carriage angrily, and the maid carefully followed in, and the coachman drove the carriage towards the gate of Pingcheng.
On the carriage, the maid said cautiously: "Miss, the second lady is going back to the city, what should she do if she knows the truth?"
The young lady in green tugged at the handkerchief in her hand tightly, her face was full of anger, her eyes were cold, and she said coldly: "She promised me that she would not say it."
"But what if she knows the reason for her death this time, will she confess you, Miss?" The maid whispered.
The young lady in green slapped the carriage and scolded the killers, "All useless wasters!" β
The maid hurriedly complimented: "Miss, don't be angry, when she comes back, there is a chance, hasn't the second miss told the secret yet."
The young lady in green looked at her red palm and said in a low voice, "But she is alive, Miss Ben is not at ease, I am afraid that one day she will say it." β

Jinyang City.
I lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the words on the city gate, and I was almost in another city, and it seemed that it should be very close to Pingcheng, and it was also close to that home.
When I came out of Yangcheng, I always felt uneasy, and every time I took a step closer to home, I felt a little restless, and I don't know why.
Is it because I'm afraid to see my family? I shook my head, probably not.
"It's time to Jinyang, let's rest here for one night tonight, and then go back to Pingcheng tomorrow." Gao Shouwen on the side said.
I lowered the curtain and looked back at him, "Okay." β
When we came to the city, we found an inn, and Ishino drove the carriage to the backyard of the inn and asked the men to feed the horses.
Gao Shouwen asked the shopkeeper for two upper rooms, and he could rest after eating.
I casually ate with my eldest brother at the dinner table in the lobby, then said that I was going to rest, and went upstairs first.
As I walked upstairs along the escalator, I accidentally saw a man in white sitting at another table in the hall, and the back of that person was very familiar.
I paused for a moment, feeling indescribable about the back.
"What's wrong, Rong'er?" Gao Shouwen looked up and asked me in the hall.
I looked at him and smiled back, "It's okay." With that, I walked upstairs again, not thinking much about the back.
Since I lost my memory, I always feel that I have a sense of familiarity when I see some people and things, and I really don't know what the reason is for this.
When I got to the room, I sat at the table, poured a glass of water, leaned against the window with the glass, and looked at the backyard downstairs of the inn.
The courtyard has been lit with dim yellow street lamps, and the flowers next to the lamps are still very bright, and its beauty can be seen from the upper floor.
I breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the great round moon.
It was right to refuse to go with Yuan Gongzi, and I just wanted to be quiet all the way home.
Gazing at the bright moon, I was stunned, and suddenly there was a beautiful sound of flute in my ears, and I followed the sound and suddenly saw two people sitting on the bluestone platform by the flower bed in the courtyard downstairs, a man and a woman.
The man was dressed in white, holding a jade flute in his hand and blowing it on his mouth, and the woman looked at him with her head sideways, very appreciative.
They look like a pair of teenagers and girls in love, and the girls are very immersed in the sound of the boy's flute.
The young man's face was full of poetry, and his eyes did not look at anything except at the woman.
Such a concubine, such a beautiful night, such a beautiful picture, whoever sees it will wish them to be happy.
I leaned against the window, admiring it quietly, and though it was not far away, I could not see their clear faces, they were just looking at each other, and I could not see their faces.
I feel so comfortable to hear such a song on a night like this.
So I listened quietly to the boy playing the whole tune, and I wanted to compliment them all, "Very good." "I was about to open my mouth when suddenly the girl looked up at me.
I was shocked to see her face, she was smiling at me, and she was me.
I stared at me in fright, how could this be!
The girl who looked like me suddenly cracked her mouth and smiled at me.
I felt tightness in my chest, couldn't believe it, rubbed my eyes vigorously with my hands, and looked there again.
My face turned pale because there was nothing thereβ
Where are there any boys and girls, where are there people.
I didn't believe it, so I rushed out the door in a panic and ran to the backyard to where they had just been sitting.
The courtyard was quiet, there was nothing, I touched the bluestone platform with my hand, the stone was cold, not like I had just sat down.
I fell on my feet and sat on the bluestone platform, feeling a little flustered.
What's wrong with me?
Is it in a hurry that I have such hallucinations, I should go and rest.
When I got back to my room, I still couldn't calm down, so I approached the windowsill and looked at the bluestone platform again, where there was still nothing.
I chuckled and closed the window and lay down on the bed, I should have had a good night's sleep.
Early the next morning, after being woken up by my eldest brother, we continued to Heijo.
Along the way, I was very quiet, and my mind was the scene in the backyard of the Jinyang City Inn over and over again.
Unconsciously, Gao Shouwen said it, I came to my senses, lifted the curtain, and the carriage had just arrived at the gate of Pingcheng.
Sure enough, it was Jingshi, and the city walls were so magnificent and strong, but I felt that I was here for the first time, and I didn't have much impression in my memory.
I lost my memory completely.
When I entered the city, I said to Gao Shouwen, "Can I go down and take a walk?"
I want to know the place where I lived from the beginning, and I want to find some memories.
But Gao Shouwen disagreed, "Go home first, and then go out to play, my brother will accompany you, but now you must go to see your family first." β
I just pouted, "Okay."
The carriage stopped at the gate of the Protector's Mansion, and I got out of the carriage and stood at the door, staring at the words in a daze.
Is this my home?
Gao Shouwen had already asked the house slave to report the news of my return from Gaofu in advance, but no one came to greet him at this time.
I realized that I shouldn't be very welcome in this home.
The step up the ladder felt heavy for me.
Walking into the Gaofu, crossing the threshold, I arrived at the bluestone road, and there were two women standing not far away, and the woman in green looked at me with cold eyes.
This should be the eldest sister Gao Li, along the way, Gao Shouwen has already told me about everyone in the family, and asked me if I remember.
And what I said about Gao Shouwen is like talking about someone else, not my home, and I don't have much memory at all.
I walked over and bowed to her with great respect, "Sister." β
Gao Li was smiling, and her tone was lazy, "It's good that my sister is back, there has been no news for more than a month, and my sister thought that my sister had suffered an accident, and I was worried about my sister for a long time at home." β
Although her words were caring, I sensed her unwavering kindness towards me, and it was clear that she did not welcome me at all.
My heart is slightly cool, is this my home?
The maid behind her saluted me, "Second Miss." And I just smiled indifferently.
"My sister's temperament is more gloomy than before, and she doesn't look like Gao Zhaorong I know." Gao Li stared at me and said unhurriedly.
"Rong'er lost her memory because of this robbery." Gao Shouwen said on the side.
Gao Li was surprised, "Amnesia? β
I pursed my lips and smiled, affirming what Gao Shouwen said.
Gao Li's eyes suddenly changed, and he reached out to grab my hand, showing concern, "How can you lose your memory?" β
I was a little uncomfortable with her change of demeanor, "I woke up after falling off the cliff and had amnesia." β
