Ci Jinzhi

Chapter 74 Reminder
Xinyou's serious expression made Zhou Ningyue even more worried: "Sister Kou, what's wrong?"

"What I want to say, sister Zhou may find it very strange——"

"Sister Kou, tell me." Zhou Ningyue's worry turned into curiosity.

She has traveled thousands of miles from south to north, so what can she say that makes her feel strange?

"I actually... know how to read pictures."

Zhou Ningyue's expression froze for a moment.

Look, look at the picture?

It's really strange that a girl like Sister Kou who is about her age can read faces...

Xin You saw Zhou Ningyue's reaction, and her expression became more serious: "Did Auntie suffer from fire a few days ago?"

Zhou Ningyue's eyes widened suddenly, and she blurted out, "How does Sister Kou know?"

Her first reaction was that Ji Cailan told Xin You, but she soon realized that she never told her cousin about her mother's hand being burned that night.

Xin You smiled, and her serious expression softened a bit: "Didn't you tell Sister Zhou just now, I know how to read faces."

Zhou Ningyue maintained a shocked expression and forgot to react for a moment.

Xin You changed her tone: "But the fire that Aunt suffered is not serious, is it?"

"Yes." Zhou Ningyue nodded subconsciously.

"It should be just a small burn."

Zhou Ningyue nodded sharply: "Yes!"

"I looked serious after seeing my aunt, not because my aunt was in a fire, but—"

"But what?" By this time, Zhou Ningyue had completely believed Xin You's words, and there was a tension in her tone that she hadn't noticed.

"Looking at my aunt's face, the bloody disaster is just around the corner."

"What?" Zhou Ningyue stood up.

Ji Cailan just walked in, and she couldn't help being surprised when she saw the situation in the room: "What happened?"

Did you quarrel?
Zhou Ningyue grabbed Xin You's wrist and said, "Cousin, sit down first, I will go to the bathroom with Sister Kou."

Ji Cailan sat down and looked at the back of the two leaving with a little sigh.

Did cousin and sister Kou go to the toilet together so soon?

Zhou Ningyue took Xinyou to stand far away from the toilet, and asked her eagerly, "Sister Kou, what do you mean my mother suffered a bloody disaster?"

"It literally means that if you don't take precautions, there will be bloodshed."

"so what should I do now?"

Xinyou was silent.

"Sister Kou, tell me." Zhou Ningyue was so anxious that there were tears in her eyes.

"I need to have a chat with my aunt, and I'm afraid that my aunt will think it's nonsense, maybe even won't let us be friends."

"No, my mother is the most gentle." Zhou Ningyue thought for a while, "Then let me talk to my mother first."

Xin You went back to accompany Ji Cailan, Zhou Ningyue went to the main room to meet Zhou's mother.

"Why don't you accompany your friend?" Seeing her daughter coming in, Mother Zhou asked with a smile.

Zhou Ningyue leaned over and took Zhou's mother's arm: "Mother, did you know that Sister Kou knows physiognomy."

"Know physiognomy?" Mother Zhou couldn't help laughing, "I remember you read a storybook a few years ago and said that you suddenly knew how to interpret dreams."

"Mother!" Zhou Ningyue gave Zhou's mother an angry look, "I'm crazy, but Sister Kou is really capable. As soon as Sister Kou saw you, she knew that you had been burned a few days ago."

"Really?" Zhou's mother closed her smile, and her expression became subtle.

"It's still a lie. You didn't tell your aunts about your burnt hands. If Sister Kou didn't know physiognomy, how would she know?"

"Then why did you come to find your mother?" Unlike her daughter's innocence, Zhou's mother immediately understood that Zhou Ningyue came to her for something else.

"Sister Kou said that you will have bloodshed in the near future."

Zhou's mother frowned, and pondered for a moment, "Yue'er, go and invite Miss Kou over here, and stay with your cousin in the west chamber."

"Oh." Zhou Ningyue didn't expect that before she mentioned it, Zhou's mother would take the initiative to see Xin You, and hurriedly responded and went back to the West Wing.

"Sister Kou, my mother invites you to come over." Zhou Ningyue sent Xinyou to the main room and came back.

"Cousin, what is Auntie doing with Sister Kou?"

Zhou Ningyue looked innocent: "I don't know either."

In the east room of the main house, Xin You greeted Zhou's mother, "Auntie."

Zhou's mother looked at the elegant girl with probing eyes.

"Miss Kou, please sit down."

Xin You sat down on the embroidered pier generously.

"I heard from Yue'er that you are proficient in physiognomy."

"A little dabbling."

Seeing Xinyou's quick admission, Zhou's mother's eyes became more inquisitive: "Miss Kou sees that I have a bloody disaster?"

Xin You nodded: "Yes, and it's a bloody disaster with life-threatening risks. I met Sister Zhou by fate. Although I know it's hard to believe what I said, I still can't bear Sister Zhou's sadness."

"Ms. Kou, can you tell me specifically what kind of bloody disaster I will encounter? And how to avoid it?" Zhou's mother's language is gentle, making it difficult to see her true attitude.

Xin You shook her head slightly: "I can only see that my aunt's bloody disaster is just recently. I don't know exactly how, but it has something to do with people close to me."

Hearing Xin You said that it was related to someone close to her, Zhou's mother's eyes flickered slightly, and her expression was a little strange at that moment.

Xin You looked like he didn't see it, and showed hesitation: "As for how to avoid it, Auntie, you can only be more careful. Try not to have verbal disputes with others, and you should be able to avoid this disaster."

"Thank you Miss Kou for reminding me." Mother Zhou thanked with a smile.

Xinyou couldn't see the other party's true thoughts, and didn't force it.

She reminded Zhou's mother that it was out of humanity that she didn't want Zhou's mother to die at the hands of Zhou's father, making the follow-up investigation more difficult.

And her real plan is to wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival to sneak into Zhou's house in advance, and it would be even better if she can hear the reason for the dispute between Zhou's mother and Zhou's father.

She can be sure that the quarrel that caused Zhou's mother to die was related to her mother.

"Miss Kou, go play with Yue'er and the others."

After Xinyou left, Mother Zhou's expression turned serious.

Does my daughter's new friend really know physiognomy, or does she have other plans?
If what the girl said is true, what kind of bloodshed is related to those close to him?
Zhou's mother's thoughts turned, doubting Xinyou's purpose for a while, wondering what the bloody disaster would be for a while, and being tortured by guilt for many days, she couldn't eat or sleep well, the more she thought about it, the more irritable she became, and she even felt like vomiting.

At noon, Zhou's mother didn't eat a few mouthfuls, and Zhou Ningyue in the west wing couldn't eat anymore. After sending Xin You and Ji Cailan away, she couldn't wait to run to Zhou's mother.

"Mother, what did Sister Kou tell you?"

"Just be careful and don't quarrel with people."

"Can you avoid it like this?"

Zhou's mother raised her hand to trim her daughter's hair, with a gentle smile: "Yes, you can avoid it this way, so don't think about it."

Zhou Ningyue breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I was worried that you wouldn't listen to Jin Kou's sister."

"How come, Ms. Kou is also kind." Zhou's mother paused for a moment, and calmly told her daughter, "Don't mention what Ms. Kou said to your father."
