Chapter 3: Nightmare

Xiaolian watched the girl silently pull the thin quilt to cover her body, but her feet did not move.

"Why are you pretending to be my girl?" She stepped forward, her embroidered shoes on the wet ground without noticing.

Xin Yu raised his eyes, his eyes calm: "I don't." Then I said, I don't know you, you know the wrong person. ”

Xiaolian raised her eyebrows, a little annoyed: "Then why did you follow us again?" ”

Xin Yu looked at her with a mocking look on her face: "Can I resist?" ”

Xiaolian thought of the scene at that time, and couldn't help but stagnate.

At that time, this girl was forcibly brought back by the second master.

After a period of silence, Xiaolian bit her lip: "Rest for one night first, and wait for tomorrow morning, you will follow me to explain it to the old lady." ”

As the night deepened, the sound of insects came in through the ruyi window lattice, clear and continuous. Xin Yu looked at Xiaolian and was sure that this was a servant girl who was loyal to the Lord and had a good heart.

She had the heart to talk.

Seeing that Xin Yu didn't speak, Xiaolian hesitated and stomped her feet: "Forget it, I'll talk about it when you get well!" ”

Xin Yu tugged at the corners of her lips, and a faint smile appeared: "Do you think they will believe it?" ”

"Of courseβ€”" Xiaolian blurted out, but looking at the face that was almost exactly the same as her own girl, she couldn't go on.

At this time, if you look closely, the facial features and face of this girl are still slightly different from those of her own girl, but she is too excited to find someone during the day, and there is a difference between dressing up and dressing up well, so I didn't think much about it.

"There is also a difference between your voice and that of my girlβ€”" Xiaolian lowered her voice.

The difference was there, but it wasn't big, at least she heard the difference, but she thought it was because the girl was unwell. As for the old lady and the others, it is probably more difficult to detect than her getting along with the girl day and night.

Xin Yu tightened the thin quilt tightly, and her tone was slightly cold: "If they don't believe it, I'm afraid that 'Miss Kou' won't be able to keep you." ”

Xiaolian's face turned pale, and she thought of the girl's nurse, Mama Fang. Back then, Mama Fang accompanied the girl into Beijing with her, but after making a mistake, she was sent to the Zhuangzi, and she and the girl never saw each other again.

If the old lady didn't believe her, she would definitely think that she had hysteria, and she might not end up as well as Mama Fang. And once she has an accident, and the fake girl is in the house, who knows about the girl?

"If they believeβ€”" Xin Yu paused.

Xiaolian's eyes widened unconsciously, staring at that familiar face.

Xin Yu looked at Xiaolian fixedly, and asked word by word: "Are you sure, do they want your girl to be alive?" ”

The blood on Xiaolian's face instantly faded away: "You, what do you mean by this?" ”

Compared with Xiaolian's horror, the girl under the candlelight looked very calm: "The three girls of Shaoqing's Mansion climbed the mountain with Miss Kou, only Miss Kou fell off the cliff, even if it was only in case it might not be an accident, it was worth thinking more." You tell me? ”

"Impossible, my girl is the only granddaughter of the old lady, and the old lady loves the girl very much. The old lady also said that she would marry the girl to the eldest son, kiss and kiss......" Xiaolian subconsciously retorted, but her face became more and more ugly.

Yes, obviously the four girls climbed the mountain together, why did only her girl fall off the cliff? Is it really the girl's bad luck?

There are so many people in Shaoqing Mansion, and the only real outsiders are Kou Qingqing's master and servant. Once the suspicion is together, it will grow wantonly like spring grass after a rain.

"How about making a deal?" The girl hugged the Su Hua brocade quilt and leaned against the head of the bed, looking calm.

Xiaolian's heart calmed down for no reason: "What deal?" ”

"When I get well, I will accompany you to find Miss Kou under the pretext of visiting Grandpa Wang, and then whenever I find your girl, I will cooperate with her to quietly change her identity back."

Xiaolian couldn't help nodding.

Compared to the unknown outcome of the current trouble, this is naturally more secure.

"And what do you want?" Xiaolian asked with her heart.

Xin Yu bent her lips, obviously smiling, but it made people feel bitter: "I entered Beijing alone, and I just need a place to stay, until I find Miss Kou, just let me stay here temporarily." ”

She doesn't know who the murderer of her mother is, and she needs a safe identity not so much to chase the murderer in this unfamiliar capital.

What better cover than to be another person?

Xiaolian's expression kept changing, and she pursed her lips and said the decision: "What if...... If my girl is gone, you can continue to live as a girl, but I have one condition. ”

Think about it calmly, how many girls are likely to survive if they fall from such a high cliff?

Xiaolian choked back tears and choked up: "Please help me check whether my girl's fall from the cliff was an accident!" ”

If there is only one of her little maids left, let alone secretly investigating, whether or not she can stay in Shaoqing's Mansion is a matter of the master's words. This girl wants to gain a foothold as a girl for the time being, and she doesn't need a "girl" by her side.

Xin Yu bowed: "Okay." ”

Xiaolian's expression was relieved, and she asked, "I don't know what the girl is called?" ”

Xin Yu lowered her eyes: "I borrowed the identity of Miss Kou, what does my name matter." ”

Xiaolian was silent for a moment, then curted her knees: "Girl, the maid will continue to wipe your body." ”

Xin Yu nodded and said softly, "Thank you." ”

"It should be." Xiaolian walked to the door and called the little maid to change a basin of hot water again, wring out a hand towel and wiping Xinyu's body.

It was just May, but the night was a little stuffy, and suddenly the coolness hit her shoulders, and Xin Yu was stunned for a moment before she reacted, it was Xiaolian's tears.

Wiped over and changed into the middle coat that Miss Kou had not yet put on, Xin Yu suddenly felt much refreshed.

"The servant is resting outside, and you can tell me if you have anything." Xiaolian extinguished the candle flame and walked out gently.

Although Xin Yu slept today, she soon became sleepy and fell asleep in a daze.

In the dream, a pair of hands bulged because of the force, and the soft pillow embroidered with orchids was removed, revealing Xiaolian's already angry face.

With a loud bang, Xin Yu suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.

Outside the window, thunder was rolling and it was raining.

Summer showers always come so suddenly. The rain pounded on the window lattice, and Xin Yu listened intently, faintly hearing suppressed sobs.

It turned out that Xiaolian had not slept all this time.

Xin Yu glanced at the door, thinking of the dream just now.

It was not a dream of foreknowledge, but a picture that I saw during the day was too profound, and I reproduced it in a dream.

Because of the reappearance, she noticed more details, such as Xiaolian's dress. In the picture, she only saw Xiaolian's upper body, Xiaolian's hair was covered with white velvet flowers, and her clothes were also white.

For example, Xin Yu's gaze moved down and landed on the soft pillow at the head of the bed.

The soft pillow was still stained with her body temperature, there were traces of her pillow, and the corner of the apricot-colored satin pillow towel was a corner of the orchid leaf and a veil, blooming faintly.

That's the pillow.

Xin Yu stretched out his hand and picked up the soft pillow embroidered with Youlan.
