Chapter 254: Immortal's dream

Compared to Xiaolian's uneasiness, Xinyou was much calmer and even went to bed earlier than usual.

 Early the next morning, it was customary to go to greet the old lady. Xin You took Xiao Lian to Ruyi Hall and met Duan Yunling on the way.

"Good morning, Cousin Qing." Duan Yunling stepped forward and took Xin You's hand, and couldn't help but look at her one more time, "Cousin Qing looks very good today."

Since Xin You decided to let "Kou girl" live back in Shaoqing's mansion and reduce the number of appearances in front of outsiders, she relied on being whipped to recuperate her health and always looked pale when she appeared. Today, her face was rosy and her eyes were clear, and Duan Yunling immediately noticed the difference.

 “I had a strange dream last night.”

 “Qimeng?” Duan Yunling became interested.

“Let’s wait until we get to Ruyi Hall to talk about it. I just want to tell my grandmother.”

Duan Yunling didn’t ask any more questions, but became more curious.

 Cousin Qing had a dream and she had to tell her grandmother specifically? What is the dream?

 Fortunately, you will know it right away.

In the Ruyi Hall, the second wife, Mrs. Zhu, and the fourth girl, Duan Yunyan, have already arrived. After greeting the old lady, they were about to go back to take care of the general affairs. When they saw Xin You and Duan Yunling coming in, they also noticed the difference between their cousins.

Cousin, are you completely healed?

 Zhu was very happy for Xinyou.

After the two of them had said hello, the old lady looked at Xin You: "Qing Qing looks good today."

Xinyou smiled sweetly: "My grandma cares about me, and my aunt sends me a lot of supplements, so I will naturally get better quickly."

 These words made both the old lady and Mr. Zhu smile unconsciously.

 “But—” Xin You’s tone changed.

 The old lady's heart trembled as soon as she heard "but".

It's not that she can't hold her breath because of her age, it's actually that this girl has been too troublesome this year, and even sent herself to Jinlinwei, who knows what she will "not be able to do".

Xin You didn't seem to notice the old lady's strangeness, and said with a smile: "Grandma, I am in particularly good spirits today, thanks to a dream I had last night."

"What dream?" The old lady always felt that this was the girl's foreshadowing, so she got in right away as soon as she asked. But it was even weirder not to ask. It seemed like she was a grandmother who was afraid of her granddaughter.

 “I dreamed of a fairy.”

 Immortal?

The old lady's expression froze, Duan Yunling couldn't help but widen his eyes, while Mr. Zhu lowered his eyes and remained as if nothing had happened.

Xinyou didn't talk about the immortals, but talked about something else: "There are many people outside who say I can read faces. Has grandma heard about it?"

The old lady smiled and shook her head: "I heard it. Grandma never believed these nonsense words-"

"it is true."

 The old lady hesitated.

 After the initial shock, the old lady turned to shock: "Qingqing, what are you talking about?"

Her granddaughter actually said that the rumors she had always dismissed as nonsense were true?

Her daughter is quite normal, and her son-in-law is also quite normal. A sane official couple wants their only daughter to learn to read faces?

"Although Qingqing has not studied seriously with a famous teacher, she seems to be naturally good at this. Last night, the immortal asked me in my dream and finally solved my doubts." Xin You said, looking at the old lady.

"What did the immortal say?" People of the old lady's age will inevitably start to believe in ghosts and gods, otherwise those temples and Taoist temples will not be so prosperous.

"The immortal said that the reason why I can learn physiognomy without a teacher is because I was born with a pair of spiritual eyes. If I don't make good use of it, I will fail to live up to the love of God and my luck will be damaged." The old lady looked serious: "It will damage my luck. ?”

How much scope does this damage to luck have? Is it just the granddaughter alone, or will it affect those around her?

  Duan Yunling had confusion in his eyes.

 Why did Cousin Qing say this to her grandmother? The elders are most taboo about damaging their luck.

“Well, that’s what the Immortal suggested, but the Immortal also said the solution.”

 The old lady immediately asked: "How to solve it?"

"The Immortal taught me the secret method and asked me to practice quietly, so that I won't waste my talent and ruin my luck." , I can no longer come to pay my respects to my grandmother every day."

 The old lady was shocked: “That’s it?”

Xin You looked ashamed: "In the past, it was okay to live outside, but now I live in the house but can't greet my grandmother morning and night. Qingqing really feels uneasy -"

The old lady hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, your grandmother knows you have this heart."

Whether the fairy's dream was true or false, she thought it would be a lot of trouble, but she didn't expect that she would just stay in the yard and not come out.

It's better not to go out, because if you don't go out, you won't get into trouble.

The old lady got what she asked for, so she agreed very happily. She even told Duan Yunling and others: "Don't disturb Qingqing..."

Stepping out of Ruyi Hall, Duan Yunling looked at Xin You but hesitated to speak.

Xinyou smiled: "What does Cousin Ling want to say?"

 “Cousin Qing, your dream—”

Xin You nodded seriously: "It's really true."

Over the past year, something happened, and Duan Yunling was not only close to Xinyou, but also admired her. Seeing that she spoke so seriously, he suddenly lost all doubt.

 Cousin Qing is not an ordinary person because she can accomplish those big and difficult things. It is not surprising that she has an immortal to entrust her with her dreams.

On the way home between the Zhu family and their daughter, Duan Yunyan also asked: "Mom, is there really an immortal who can entrust Cousin Qing's dreams with her?"

 A servant came towards her. Mrs. Zhu took her daughter's hand and whispered, "Go back to the house and talk."

After entering the house, Mrs. Zhu dismissed the maid, stroked her daughter's head and warned: "It is true. But Yan'er must remember and don't say it outside."

She doesn’t believe in the fairy’s dream. I’m afraid this is the cousin’s way of doing something. But since the cousin has saved Yan’er, she won’t go against it. No matter what the cousin wants to do, as long as she has no ill intentions toward their second wife, that's enough.

 She was actually very curious and looking forward to what kind of fate this girl who had lost the protection of her parents would have.

Zhu thought about herself, she also lost her mother early, and her life was not easy when she was young. However, her cousin's performance over the past year made her couldn't help but think, maybe a girl can make a way out on her own?

 Back at Wanqingju, Xiaolian felt incredible: "Old Madam, they just believe it!"

"Maybe I believe it, maybe I don't believe it. The key is that if I stay behind closed doors, I won't cause trouble in the eyes of the old lady."

 It saves you worry and effort and doesn’t cost extra. Why don’t you believe it?

Half an hour later, while Xiao Lian was talking to the doorman, Xin You quietly walked out of Shaoqing's house, and when he appeared in the West Market again, he was a handsome young man.

Today there will be another wave of beheadings in Xishi. The people who will be killed today are the people of Guchangbo Mansion. There was still some time before the execution, but the prisoners on death row had been escorted over, and they all knelt in a row with their hair disheveled and carrying their prison cards.

Xin You stood in the crowd and looked out, and saw a familiar face among the death row prisoners: Chang Liang, the guard of Guchangbo Mansion.

Next to him is a middle-aged death row prisoner who looks somewhat similar to Chang Liang. He must be Chang Liang's uncle Chang Qing, the leader of those who killed his mother.
