Sheng Chong and God Investigate the Princess

Chapter 18 Awakening
Zhou Yanyan had a long dream.

In fact, she didn't know if it was a dream, because the dream was so real that she almost didn't want to wake up.

She was sitting in front of the dressing table, painting her eyebrows and cheeks, but when she turned her head, she saw her mother standing in front of the lantana tree outside the window, looking at her and smiling.How long had she not seen her mother?half a year? 180 nine days?Maybe 190 days?But she felt like a lifetime had passed.

She knew, she clearly knew, all of this was done by that vicious woman named Xue Ningbi, but she couldn't produce any evidence.Now, her mother is standing in front of her, smiling at her.If I can't avenge her, won't my mother blame me at all?She stood up involuntarily, and walked slowly towards the horsetail that had lost half of its delicate flowers. How much she wanted her mother to hug her!Just a hug, just a moment!
The mother smiled lightly and took her into her arms, and she felt as if she was flying happily.It seems that I can escape from this high gate compound, deep in the back house, without restraint.

Mother kissed her and hugged her.Later, when she opened her eyes, she found herself lying on the bed in Yingluo Courtyard.

"Then why did you let Yan Hongjing carry you to the yamen?" Yayoi frowned and asked, "Now—are you actually disregarding your boudoir reputation?"

Zhou Yanyan gave a wry smile weakly, "It's not that I don't care, I have to. When you let Dr. Wang detoxify me yesterday, my consciousness has actually recovered a little bit. It's just that I was addicted to a dream and didn't want to wake up, so I let you go. Then Xue Ningbi took advantage of the loophole."

"So," Yayoi paused, "Have you heard what I said yesterday?"

Zhou Yanyan has now been put down by Yan Hongjing, leaning on Yayoi's body.She looked into Yayoi's eyes and nodded: "When I woke up today, I knew I couldn't stay in the Zhou Mansion any longer. Xue Ningbi has many minions, if I stay there again, I'm afraid I won't know how to die."

Yayoi was noncommittal.From Xue Ningbi's performance yesterday, it can be seen that she is a very powerful woman, with vicious but deep thoughts, unexpectedly unfathomable.

"Then what I said yesterday, is it the same as the truth?"

Zhou Yanyan nodded approvingly: "There is only one difference, and that is: Forsythia was poisoned not because I fell in love with the same person as her." She glanced at Duan Sinan next to her, her cheeks flushed slightly, "I wanted to avoid the same person as her." Due to the marriage of the He family, I pretended to like Mr. Duan. At that time, I thought, if my father knew what I was thinking, he would definitely give up the marriage of the He family and promise me to Mr. Duan who has a higher status——but Mr. Duan is a gentleman, so he will naturally refuse. In this way, if I resign from the He family and be rejected by Mr. Duan, I will not get married if I fail at both ends. "

How clever Yayoi is, she understood it after thinking about it: "You pretended to like Mr. Duan, but your maid thought it was true. She fell in love with Mr. Duan, so she naturally wanted to hate you. She betrayed her master, and was instigated by Xue Ningbi, so she gave it to you." You are poisoned."

Zhou Yanyan nodded helplessly: "I have trusted her so much for so many years, but I never expected..."

Duan Sinan was a little dumb beside him.At that time, he commented on Yayoi that Zhou Yanyan was "stupid and ugly", maybe it was because she showed his admiration.I never thought that there was such a thought behind this, but he was unconsciously used by her.

Thinking about it this way, the smile on Yan Ruo Taoli's lips seemed a little stiff.

Yayoi glanced over lightly, and teased calmly: "Master Duan, don't you mind?"

When it comes to this point, it would be ugly for Duan Sinan to care about it any more.Besides, he is so sophisticated, he has seen this kind of thing a lot, so naturally he doesn't need to take it to heart.

He chuckled and shook his head.

Yayoi turned her head again and asked, "Do you know why she is so eager to kill you now?"

This time, Zhou Yanyan couldn't answer.She shook her head and said: "Every time I pretend to be a ghost, she is always calm and composed. I am afraid of showing my flaws, and I always scare her from a long distance. She never seems to be scared. I thought maybe she didn't do it before." A thief is not guilty, but unexpectedly, she has become a thief, but because she knows the truth, she is still not guilty."

"Yeah," Yayoi continued her words, "Since she knows you've played a ghost, she knows that you have no influence on her. In the future, she can marry you off with just a dowry. Why are you in such a hurry to get involved? A fishy body? I understand everything, but I just can't figure out why she wanted to kill you. If you can't tell the motive of harming someone, you can't be convicted no matter what."

Zhou Yanyan also said: "Besides, I haven't told my father about my admiration for Mrs. Duan, until now she thinks that I will marry He Fu next year... Maybe it was Lianqiao who told her? "

"Lianqiao also thought that you really fell in love with Mrs. Duan. Even if Lianqiao told her, it was just that you changed a mansion to marry. The result is the same, how could she stop her, and even want to take your life?"

"Then..." Now, Zhou Yanyan was quite at a loss.

"Think about it carefully, did you come across some secret of her? Or did you know something you shouldn't know?" Yayoi asked. "Her heart is bottomless, and she even possesses undetectable martial arts. Her identity is very suspicious. Maybe you accidentally know something?"

After all, Zhou Yanyan just woke up, her mind was still a little confused, and she couldn't think of anything for a while, and the surroundings suddenly fell into dead silence.

But Duan Sinan spoke at this moment: "Miss Zhou just woke up, so she is a little tired. Let's rest for a while, when the time comes, my thoughts will be clear, and I might be able to remember some details."

After thinking about it, Yayoi felt reasonable, so she helped Zhou Yanyan to her room and let her continue to rest.

She settled Zhou Yanyan, closed the door, turned around and saw Duan Sinan waiting for her outside.Seeing her coming out, he smiled slightly, it was like a rain of peach blossoms in autumn for no reason, which only made people think it was brilliant and dazzling.

"What do you think?" he asked.

"Zhou Yanyan is a person who endures humiliation, is brave and resourceful, and even deceived you... I really want to make friends with her."

Yayoi's words are by no means a joke.After knowing Duan Sinan for a few days, she only felt that Duan Sinan was unpredictable and it was very difficult to get along with him, but she never thought that he would be put aside by Zhou Yanyan.The latter's sword is slanted, and he can be regarded as witty and intelligent.

Duan Sinan didn't smile this time, his face gradually became serious, and he sighed: "Maybe... maybe I know Xue Ningbi's identity."

"Xue Ningbi's identity?"

Duan Sinan nodded: "He has deep thoughts and strong martial arts skills... It's also my fault, I didn't think of it at first."

Yayoi only wished that he would talk to her right away.Before she had time to speak, Duan Sinan spoke again: "I'll talk to you after I investigate her."

Yayoi was not a person who made things difficult for others, seeing what Duan Sinan said, she was not in a hurry to ask.Although her face was cold, there was a lingering smile in the corner of her eyes, and she said, "Okay."

　The first case is over... over... over...
