Ci Jinzhi Chapter 8

  Chapter 8 Family Wealth

  Xin You's coma not only alarmed the old lady, but also the eldest wife Qiao and the second wife Zhu.

  On the way out of Wanqingju, Qiao Shi, who was walking beside the old lady, said in surprise, "I didn't expect Qingqing to lose her memory. She only remembers her nurse."

  The old lady's eyes darkened, and she said lightly: "Perhaps it's because of this coma that I'm starting to remember."

   Qiao's feet paused, and then a smile hung on the corner of his lips: "It would be great if this is the case. After all, it is inconvenient to forget the past."

  The old lady seemed to be tired, she stopped talking, and was supported by her maid to go to Ruyi Hall.

  Mr. Qiao and Mrs. Zhu walked towards their residences separately at the intersection, with no smile on their lips.

   "Nurse Lian, do you think Cousin has recovered her memory?"

Even Nanny is Qiao's confidant, and hesitantly said: "It's hard to say that it hurts the brain. Maybe you can't remember it all the time, or you can suddenly remember everything. Cousin is young, so good." quick…"

  The Yaxin Garden where Mrs. Qiao lives is close in front of her eyes. She stood up a bit, bent her lips and smiled: "Yes, you are young, and you will recover quickly."

  In the middle of the evening, the fragrance of the medicine has not dissipated, and Nanny Fang and Xiaolian's crying has not stopped.

  Nurse Fang was crying about the reunion with the girl after a long absence, while Xiao Lian was crying about the girl's uncertainty about her life and death and her panic and confusion in a dangerous situation.

  In this way, Xin You appeared to be extremely calm: "Xiao Lian, go get a basin of hot water to wash Nanny Fang's face."

  Xiao Lian responded, and went out to bring a pot of hot water.

  Nurse Fang washed her face, her eye circles became even redder, and she stared at Xin You's face tightly, unwilling to move away: "I haven't seen you for three years. The girl has grown up and lost weight."

  Xin You smiled softly.

  After thinking about asking Nanny Fang to come back, she discussed with Xiao Lian not to reveal her identity for the time being. Three years is enough to change a lot, and she is confident that Nanny Fang will not see through.

   "Girl, what did you mean when you said to the old lady that you only remembered the old slave?" Seeing that Xinyou was still in good spirits, Mother Fang asked her doubts.

  Xin You glanced at Xiaolian.

  Xiao Lian told about Kou Qingqing's loss of memory after falling off a cliff, and got Xin You's instructions in advance, without hinting anything.

   After hearing this, Nanny Fang hugged Xinyou and cried bitterly: "The girl is suffering."

   "Nurse is tired after coming from Zhuangzi, let's rest first, I'm also a little tired." Xin You said softly.

   "The old slave is not tired, the old slave will guard the girl today, the girl should go to sleep soon."

  Xin You nodded slightly, and quickly fell asleep.

  Xiao Lian looked at Nanny Fang who was tucking in the quilt for Xinyou, with anticipation and anxiety in her eyes.

  The girl said that she hadn't seen her for three years, and she didn't know that Nanny Fang's heart had been won over by others. She had to see Nanny Fang's reaction first. Mother Fang...will she disappoint them?

  Night came as expected, the **** the bed slept soundly, and Nanny Fang, who had made a bed at her feet, got up from time to time to observe the situation, and almost stayed up all night.

  In the morning, the visiting people from various courtyards were surprised to find that Xin You seemed to be in good spirits, while Nanny Fang, who had just arrived yesterday, had black and blue eyes, as if she was about to collapse at any time.

  For those who came to visit, although Xin You didn't talk much, she was courteous. From Nanny Fang's point of view, the girl in front of her is still the quiet and sensitive little girl in her memory who suddenly lost her parents.

   After finally returning to the girl's side, Mother Fang wanted to take her time, but couldn't bear it after watching this for a whole day.

   "Girl, this old slave has something to say to you."

  Xin You signaled Xiao Lian to back down: "What does the nanny want to tell me?"

Mother Fang's expression was tangled, she knelt down suddenly, and said in a heartbeat: "The old slave and the girl have been separated for so long, and the girl may not trust what I have to say, but the old slave swears to God, if I have the heart to provoke the old slave, I will let the old slave Five thunderbolts—"

Xinyou held Nanny Fang's raised hand, and said softly, "Nurse must not swear such a poisonous oath. You are my nanny, the closest person in the world. How can I not believe what you say. Previously I was young, and I valued face more than anything else. After this calamity, I realized that the people I care about are the most important..."

   Saying this, Xin You choked up.

   Yeah, there's nothing more important than people who care. But in this world, all the people she cared about are gone.

  Nurse Fang could feel the sincerity in Xin You's words, she cried and laughed at the same time: "Girl has grown up, grown up..."

  After a while, she calmed down, and Nanny Fang glanced at the door, and asked in a low voice, "Miss, don't you remember the scene when you fell off the cliff?"

  Xin You shook his head.

"The girl is not a sloppy person. It is hard for the old slave to imagine that she would slip and fall off the cliff. I also heard from Xiaolian that the girl had consulted a doctor after she returned home. She was obviously fine, but yesterday she suddenly suffered from abdominal pain and fell into a coma. This is not the heart of the old slave." The more I think about it, the more I feel that the matter is not simple, I am afraid that someone in this house has the intention of harming the girl..." Mother Fang stared at Xinyou intently, lest she see disbelief and anger on her face.

  If the girl is tired of her, her fate as a nanny is not worth mentioning, but if her suspicion is true, what can a simple and helpless girl do!

  Nurse Fang never forgot about being assigned to Zhuangzi, and because of this, doubts kept growing in her heart.

  Xin You listened quietly, with a hesitant tone: "It's not that I don't believe in Nanny, but the people in the Shaoqing Mansion are all my blood relatives, and I have never offended anyone. Who would kill me?"

  Nurse Fang grasped the girl's cool hand, her voice hoarse: "Girl, it's okay to offend people many times in this world, only yellow and white things will kill people!"

  The girl looked dazed, as if she was dumbfounded.

   "Girl, old slave use the scissors."

  Xin You regained consciousness, and raised her voice, "Xiao Lian, bring the scissors."

  Xiao Lian, who was guarding the door, walked in quickly, handed a pair of scissors to Mother Fang, and looked at Xin You with a bit of worry hidden in her eyes.

  She didn't think too much at first, but after getting along with this girl for a long time, she learned to think more. After all, Nanny Fang hasn't seen each other for three years, if she hurts the girl—

  Received by Xin You's comforting eyes, Xiao Lian's heart was at ease for some reason, and she retreated silently.

  There were only two people left, and Nanny Fang immediately lifted the hem of the clothes and scissors down, and took out a thin booklet from the interlayer of the inner clothes.

   "Girl, take a look first."

  Xin You took the booklet with Nanny Fang's body temperature and opened it, and was shocked by the number written at the top: 1.02 million taels of silver...

   In addition to this, there are records such as paved fields.

  Xin You suddenly felt that the thin booklet was a bit overwhelming.

"At that time, I was in a hurry, and Madam sold everything she could sell, and recorded the remaining things that were too late to deal with in this book. In addition to the silk jewelry that the girl brought with her when she came to Beijing, it was the million silver notes and the deed of the house..." Fang The nanny detailed the details that Kou Qingqing, who was still young, didn't know, gritted her teeth and asked, "Miss, do you know where the land deeds are?"

  Xin You lowered her eyes and said softly, "Grandma's hands."
