What Zhou Ningyue saw outside the door was probably the terrifying scene of Zhou's father hurting Zhou's mother.

And what about Zhou's mother?

Since she can see the picture of Zhou Ningyue falling, she is likely to see the scene of Zhou's mother's accident.

Xin Yu settled down, and naturally said: "It's a little presumptuous to come to Sister Zhou suddenly, I'll go and say hello to my aunt." ”

"My mother is out." Zhou Ningyue took Xin Yu's hand, and did not look rusty because she hadn't seen each other these days, "Sister Kou, cousin, go and sit in my room."

Xin Yu suppressed her disappointment and followed Zhou Ningyue into the West Chamber.

The maidservant girl called Chunya brought refreshments and retreated obediently.

Xin Yu couldn't help but glance at Chun Ya more.

Zhou Ningyue was delicate, and when she saw her like this, she asked, "What's wrong with Sister Kou?" Is there something wrong with the spring buds? ”

"No, I just look at Chunya a little like a maid who served me when I was a child."

"Sister Kou wasn't in the capital before."

"Well, at that time, I was still living in a foreign place with my parents, and later I entered Beijing, only bringing a nurse and a personal maid, and the servants at home were scattered. From the first time I came to Sister Zhou's house to see Chunya, I felt familiar, and I couldn't help but look at her a few more times just now. ”

"I see."

Xin Yu asked: "Is Chunya from the capital?" ”

Zhou Ningyue smiled: "Yes." Before, my family was also in the field, there was originally a maid, and then moved to the capital, my mother said don't let the flesh and blood never see each other, so she put her home, Chunya was bought after coming to the capital. ”

"That seems to have nothing to do with the little maid who used to serve me."

"It shouldn't be related. Chunya sold her because her mother had no money for treatment. Her home is not far away, and my mother also said that she is allowed to go home for a day on such a day as the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”

"Aunt is really kind-hearted." Xin Yu smiled and praised.

It seems that it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there were no spring buds in the picture, so I should have gone home to reunite with my parents.

As for the other subordinates, maybe that's the reason.

Without waiting for Xin Yu to inquire again, Zhou Ningyue took the initiative to say: "Aunt Wang, they are all hired helpers, and there are more holidays." ”

"Then on a day like the Mid-Autumn Festival, don't you have to get your own food?"

Xin Yu's question made Zhou Ningyue sneer, and Ji Cailan couldn't laugh either.

"Sister Kou, ordinary people like us, most of the things we have to do by ourselves. My cousin's house is fine, but there is only one domestic helper who does rough work in my family, and she works during the day and has to go back at night. ”

Xin Yu smiled sheepishly.

Ji Cailan was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so she hurriedly diverted the topic: "Cousin, why do you guess we came to you together?" ”

"Why?"

"You can't imagine how powerful Sister Kou is." Ji Cailan took out the booklet from her arms and handed it to Zhou Ningyue, "Take a look." ”

"What?" Zhou Ningyue opened the booklet and was immediately attracted, "Ah, this is the painting of "Painted Skin"!" ”

"Sister Kou drew it."

Zhou Ningyue looked at Xin Yu's gaze with admiration, and couldn't help but touch the booklet: "Sister Kou, you are really amazing." ”

Xin Yu smiled: "If you like it, this one will be given to you." ”

Ji Cailan and Zhou Ningyue are not polite people, they thanked happily, and worried about the belonging of the booklet.

In the end, Ji Cailan took the initiative to give up: "Cousin, you can keep it, if Sister Kou paints the lower part of "Painted Skin" in the future, I will ask for it again." ”

Zhou Ningyue knew that her cousin was letting her, and she really liked this painted version of "Painted Skin", so she was embarrassed to accept it.

"Sister Kou and cousin stay for dinner, I'll let Aunt Wang cook a few specialty dishes."

Xin Yu politely excused himself.

"Sister Kou, don't refuse, just give me a chance to thank you."

Xin Yu responded, and his heart was slightly happy.

If you stay for dinner, it is possible to wait until Zhou's mother comes back.

Sure enough, before it was time for lunch, Zhou's mother came back.

Zhou Ningyue saw Zhou's mother walking by the window, walked out quickly, stood at the door of the West Chamber and shouted, "Mother, my cousin and Sister Kou are here." ”

Xin Yu and Ji Cailan also walked out.

Ji Cailan shouted to her aunt with a smile, and Xin Yu saluted: "Hello aunt." ”

Mother Zhou obviously had a good impression of Xin Yu, and her tone was very gentle: "Don't be polite." On that day, I also said why Yue'er always nested at home, so that she could go to play with you more. This girl is a stuffy person, and it's rare that Miss Kou doesn't dislike her. ”

"Mother, Sister Kou also gave me a very good gift, I asked Sister Kou to stay for dinner......"

Xin Yu listened to the conversation between the mother and daughter with a smile, but in fact, her mind was completely taken away by the new picture.

Look at the light or daylight, this time in the house.

Mother Zhou's back was against the edge of the desk, and a tall figure shrouded in front of her was Father Zhou.

It's just that this is not a warm picture of a husband and wife talking in the study, but a murder in progress.

Zhou's father put his hands on Zhou's mother's neck and tightened it hard, Zhou's mother tried her best to push Zhou's father's hand but couldn't break free, and finally her hands hung down and touched the table and didn't move.

The picture is not over here, Father Zhou suddenly turned around, stared at the door with a hideous face, and then strode towards the door.

The terrifying picture disappeared, and what reappeared in front of me was Zhou's mother, who was haggard but amiable, and Zhou Ningyue, who was smiling and pulling her mother to speak.

Xin Yu's heart was cold, and he clenched his fist hard.

At this point, the two pictures are matched.

Zhou Ningyue bumped into the scene of her father killing her mother outside the door, and fell into the basket in fright. The sound of the basket falling to the ground alarmed Zhou's father, and Zhou's father chased him out.

Why did Zhou's father kill Zhou's mother?

If it was because of her mother's affairs, wasn't Zhou's mother appeased that night?

Or did Zhou's mother later make a new discovery and confront Zhou's father, and Zhou's father lost his mind and killed Zhou's mother during the dispute between the husband and wife?

No, it doesn't have to be impulsive, or maybe it's just a mouthful?

On the premise of knowing that her mother is the queen mother who has been missing for many years, Xin Yu did not hesitate to speculate with the greatest malice about the people related to it.

So what should she do next?

Until Zhou Ningyue and Ji Cailan were pulled back to the West Chamber, Xin Yu was still thinking about this problem.

The time can be clear, it is the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Looking at Zhou Ningyue's appearance, she came back from buying moon cakes from outside, Zhou's mother should not have expected her daughter to come home so early when she quarreled with Zhou's father, and combined with the scenery in the picture, the time can be more specific, it should be morning.

"I'll go to the latrine." At her uncle's house, Ji Cailan was completely unrestrained, and asked Xin Yu intimately, "Is Sister Kou going?" ”

"Sister Ji, go, I don't want to go yet."

"Then I'll go."

As soon as Ji Cailan left, Xin Yu and Zhou Ningyue were left in the house.

"Sister Kou, I see that your face is a little bad, is there something uncomfortable?"

Hearing this, Xin Yu showed a solemn look.
