Chapter 463 Have you forgotten

The next day.

Jifu.

The first ray of light in the morning slowly shines into the courtyard full of chrysanthemums.

After a while, the sound of deliberately gentle footsteps came from the door.

Two beautifully dressed little maids walked into the courtyard. They watched carefully for a moment. Seeing that there was no movement in the house, they sat down on the steps of the corridor.

The older man lowered his voice and whispered:

"The old lady has been sleeping more deeply than usual recently."

The young maid nodded:
"Every time the old lady comes to Juyuan, she seems to sleep very well."

The two chatted casually.

The older maid looked into the distance, into the corner where the sun could not reach:

"Since the day I served the old lady, I have never seen her come there. But during this period, the old lady ordered me to put a chair in the corridor. She often sat in it, facing the pearl plum tree, After looking at it for a long time, I was not allowed to tell Mr. Ji and the young lady."

Young maid:
"Yes, once I saw the old lady secretly wiping tears against the pearl plum tree, I was completely frightened. I asked the old lady if she felt uncomfortable, but the old lady said that the only thing that would make her feel What’s uncomfortable is that it’s alive.”

Older maid:
"He? Who?"

Young maid:
"That's the Pearl Plum tree. The old lady said, there's only one left. If it's lost, it's gone."

The older maid smiled and said:
"How could such a big tree be lost? Old lady, I told you, do you still believe it?"

At this time, a very low coughing sound came from the room.

The little maid quickly got up and went in to serve.

After a while, the maid helped Mrs. Ji out of the house, one on the left and the other on the right.

The older maid smiled and said:

"Old lady, look how beautiful the chrysanthemums are blooming."

Mrs. Ji smiled and nodded. Seeing the beautiful blooming chrysanthemums, she felt warm in her heart:
"Okay, I dreamed about the deceased last night, and I thought it would be a bad sign. Help me over, I want to see again." The little maid turned her back and stuck out her tongue at the older maid.

The three of them walked slowly to the corner of the wall, where no one was paying attention.

He raised his eyes and took a quick look.

The pearl plum blossoms that had been blooming quietly for several months disappeared.

Mrs. Ji's whole body was shaken. Her uneasy heart that had been there since the morning suddenly fell into a low point. Last night's dream, the people in the dream, and the words in the dream seemed to be in reverse order, flashing through her mind one by one - —

"……I'm wrong……"

"It's wrong to be humiliated..."

"After being humiliated and losing my innocence, it is also wrong to insist on coming back alive..."

"My engagement being annulled has become a stain on the Ji family. It's a big mistake that I'm still alive..."

"...But am I really wrong..."

"Mom, was I really wrong? The one who was hurt was me, it was me..."

"...You obviously failed to protect me, so why did you kill me so cruelly..."

"...Mom, my neck hurts. Look, look again... is there anything left on it..."

"...It's my mother's fingerprint..."

"It was left behind when my mother strangled Miaozhu's neck. Have you forgotten it?"

Waves of chill spread down the soles of her feet and throughout her limbs. Mrs. Ji's heart was pounding, accelerating uncontrollably, and her body was shaking uncontrollably.

In front of me, a figure slowly appeared in the open space where pearl plum trees were originally planted.

——Black hair hanging behind the shoulders, flying in the wind, face as delicate as a white porcelain doll, skin as white as winter snow
——Between the black and white, the only scarlet was particularly ferocious, wrapping around her jade neck in circles.

"Ah!" Mrs. Ji screamed in fright. She was so frightened that she lost her normal state. After staggering back a few steps, she fainted.
