"What should I know?" Xin You asked, staring into Meng Fei's eyes.

The young man has a pair of phoenix eyes, with dark pupils and brilliant colors.

Although I heard that the grandson of the Imperial Academy’s Jijiu often came last in exams, his eyes showed his intelligence.

"Brother Duan hasn't been here since the holiday. He said he was on sick leave. I went to visit him the day before yesterday and found out he was injured."

"How did you get injured?" Xin You counted the time and found out how many days had passed.

Meng Fei looked a little weird: "He said he was injured in a fall."

Xin You's heart moved.

From what Meng Fei said, he didn't believe it was a fall.

"Miss Xin, you can go take a look when you have time -" Meng Fei paused, then said, "Miss Xin has nothing to do with the Shaoqing Mansion, and Brother Duan doesn't feel good."

"Thank you, Mr. Meng, for informing me. I understand."

Meng Fei smiled and pointed at Qingsong Bookstore: "I was about to go buy books. Miss Xin came to the bookstore to take a look?"

"Yes. Mr. Meng, let's go first. I'll go to the Shaoqing Mansion while it's still early."

Meng Fei reminded with a smile: "Miss Xin, don't say it was me who said it, otherwise Brother Duan will be angry."

Xin You smiled and returned to the car: "Go to Shaoqing's Mansion."

The purpose of coming to the bookstore was to let the person who stole the scrapped manuscripts know that she wanted to spread the word about her policy of managing the world and benefiting the people. Actually, there was no delay in visiting Duan Yunlang.

On the way, I passed by a store and bought some supplements, and it didn't take long to arrive at Shaoqing's Mansion.

"Girl, we're here." The coachman reminded outside.

Xin You got off the carriage, looked up at the door plaque, and strode over.

"Cousin girl——" The doorman was shocked when he saw Xin You, and he realized something was wrong when he shouted the words, and he murmured not knowing how to address her.

Xin You didn't make things difficult for her disciples: "Just call me Miss Xin. I heard that the second young master is ill, so I came to see him."

"Oh, oh, please wait a moment." The doorman invited Xinyou into the small reception hall and reported inside.

Duan Shaoqing had already returned from the Yamen. Hearing that Xin You was coming, he rushed over.

Looking at the girl sitting quietly, Duan Shaoqing was also in trouble: "I've seen -"

Xin You stood up: "Master Duan, you can call me Miss Xin or Xin Daizhao."

"Miss Xin, please come inside."

This small hall next to the concierge is just a place for guests to wait temporarily, not a place to entertain guests.

Duan Shaoqing made a gesture of invitation, tensing from his hair to his heels.

What is this ancestor doing here again!

Could it be debt collection?

On the way inside, Duan Shaoqing wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and whispered: "The four hundred thousand taels will be raised soon. I hope Miss Xin can give me some grace."

Seeing Duan Shaoqing's humble appearance, Xin You felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

Duan Shaoqing, who is still anxious and helpless, is more approachable.

"Mr. Duan is joking. Those are the property left by Miss Kou. How to deal with them is up to your government. Speaking of which, I still have some of Miss Kou's property here -"

Duan Shaoqing said hurriedly: "Xiaolian and Aunt Fang are the people who have been with Qingqing for the longest time. They understand Qingqing's thoughts best. It is most appropriate for Miss Xin to arrange this money."

Just kidding, he can't keep the 400,000 yuan, how dare he take back what this girl took away before?

If we really do this, the Shaoqing Mansion will be over sooner or later.

Xin You looked deeply at Duan Shaoqing.

Sure enough, the Duan family, who were obsessed with money, could wake up in front of the imperial power. Being so vicious and greedy before was just to bully Kou Qingqing, an orphan girl who had no one to rely on.

She is not greedy for money, but she really does not intend to spend this huge sum of money. Even if the Shaoqing Mansion wants to open a charity hall in the name of Miss Kou, it is unknown how sincere it is, what the effect will be, and how long it will last.

And she has clear arrangements for this money. Once it is completed in the future, countless people will benefit. Even if my mother's idea of ​​innovation fails to come true, it won't be too bad if it happens.

"Master Duan's words make me feel relieved."

Duan Shaoqing's forehead veins jumped. To put it nicely, I never worried about exposing my secret when I pretended to be his niece before.

Looking back on the past, Duan Shaoqing felt even more uncomfortable.

It was obviously this girl who was pretending to be someone else, but after realizing that there was something wrong with her identity, it was him who was worried about being exposed all day long!

"My visit this time has nothing to do with it. I just came to see Second Young Master Duan."

"Yunlang will be happy to know that Miss Xin comes to see him." Duan Shaoqing turned around and took Xinyou to Duan Yunlang's residence.

Xin You did not refuse Duan Shaoqing's company.

Now that we have different identities, we naturally have to abide by the rules of guests.

"Yun Lang, Miss Xin is here to see you." Duan Shaoqing shouted as soon as he entered the room.

Duan Yunlang was half leaning on the head of the bed and tried his best to look around. When he saw it was Xin You, his eyes lit up and he wanted to say hello, but suddenly he remembered that this was not his cousin.

The young man suddenly looked depressed, and the wounds on his body seemed to hurt more.

Duan Shaoqing coughed: "Yun Lang, why didn't you say hello to Miss Xin when she came?"

Duan Yunlang glanced at Xin You and pursed his lips.

Duan Shaoqing hurriedly explained: "Yunlang has not been feeling well these days, and his reaction has been slow -"

"I want to talk to Mr. Duan alone."

"You guys chat." Duan Shaoqing turned around and left the house and went to the yard.

Xin You was a little surprised by Duan Shaoqing's bluntness.

Duan Shaoqing stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his hands, calm and relaxed.

The worst is already like this. If my nephew can make good friends with this girl, it will do no harm to Shaoqing's house.

The room was a little quiet for a while. Duan Yunlang was extremely conflicted. He wanted to talk to Xin You, but he felt that it was a betrayal of his cousin. He could only remind himself over and over in his heart: This is not my cousin, not my cousin...

Xin You was not an awkward person, so when she saw him acting like this, she simply asked, "Is Mr. Duan complaining about me pretending to be Miss Kou?"

Duan Yunlang immediately shook his head: "No, it was my father who mistakenly recognized you. Later, I heard from my father that you said you recognized the wrong person at that time, but my father didn't believe it."

"That's because when you see me, you think of Miss Kou and feel uncomfortable."

Duan Yunlang's eyes flashed.

Roughly the same.

"I understand." Xinyou put the gifts she bought on the way on the table, "I heard that you were sick, so I came to check on you. But since seeing me makes you uncomfortable, you don't have to see me in the future. I wish Duan Er Young Master, please recover soon."

Duan Yunlang panicked and grabbed Xin You's sleeve: "Cousin, that's not the case!"

Xinyou stamped her feet and looked at the anxious young man.

Duan Yunlang was not a delicate person, but at this moment he suddenly realized that if she left like this, they would really become strangers in the future.

Even though it was very embarrassing, the young man still said what was in his heart: "I can't help but treat you as my sister, but I feel it's unfair to Cousin Qing..."

Xinyou was startled.

It turned out to be the case.

Her eyes softened and she smiled: "Can't a person have several brothers and sisters?"

Duan Yunlang suddenly understood: "Then I will call you from now on——"

"You can call me Ayou."

The young man grinned: "Then you can call me second brother from now on."

"Second cousin" is still a title that belongs to cousin Qing alone.

After breaking the alienation of seeing each other again after changing their identities, Xin You asked: "Isn't the second brother sick?"
