I wish you eternal life

Could this be because the light is too dark, so I misread it?
The breeze blew gently, and the epiphyllum swayed. Now is the time when the epiphyllum is in full bloom. The flowers in the yard are blooming brilliantly, which is really beautiful.

It's a pity that this kind of flower blooms for only three or four hours, and it is estimated that it will wither before dawn.

"Miss Zhong, did you take care of all these flowers?"

Zhong Jingyun nodded: "Yeah, do you like it? If you like it, go pick one. Anyway, if you don't pick it, it will wither."

Pick one and put it on the bedside, smelling the faint fragrance can help you sleep. It just so happens that my sleep quality is not good recently.

Yuan Ziyi smiled and stood up from the stone chair, and walked among the blooming epiphyllum.

Just as she reached out to pick them, Aunt Qing's voice suddenly came from not far away, "Miss Yuan, Miss Yuan."

Hearing the voice, she immediately turned around and said, "Aunt Qing, I'm here."
Seeing her, Aunt Qing breathed a sigh of relief, "It's so late, why did you come here alone?"

"I couldn't sleep, so I just wandered around."

"Oh, I heard someone talking in the garden just now, and I ran out to look because I was worried. By the way, who were you talking to just now?"

I have to say that Aunt Qing is really dedicated to the Zou family. Although she is just a servant, she has long taken care of the Zou family as her own.

Yuan Ziyi said casually, "I was chatting with Jingyun just now."

"Jingyun?" Hearing this name, Aunt Qing's expression instantly turned strange.

Yuan Ziyi said puzzledly, "Yes, what's the matter?"

Time ticked still for a few seconds, and Aunt Qing finally said: "Miss Yuan, are you sure you were really chatting with Miss Jingyun just now?"

"Of course, if I didn't chat with her, how would I know the name?"

Aunt Qing's face became even paler, and she even flinched involuntarily.

"Then...then where is she now?"

"Isn't it in the pavilion?" Yuan Ziyi casually pointed in the direction of the pavilion before turning his head, only to find that it was empty and there was no one there.

Strange, what about people?

He was clearly still here just now, why did he disappear in the blink of an eye?

This time, Aunt Qing's face turned even paler, even under the moonlight, it could be seen that there was no trace of blood on her face, and her eyes were full of horror.

What's wrong?Did you say something wrong?Why is her face so ugly?

At this time, Aunt Qing took a deep breath and said with a trembling voice, "Miss Yuan, you must have admitted the wrong person just now. This is impossible!"

"How could it be possible to identify the wrong person? She told me that it was Zhong Jingyun herself, and I even ate pine flower cakes with her."

Yuan Ziyi turned around and glanced at the pavilion, only to find that not only Zhong Jingyun had disappeared, but even the plate of pine flower cakes had disappeared without a trace.

strangeness!Really strange!
Why did Zhong Jingyun suddenly disappear?He didn't say hello when he left, and what was even more strange was why he didn't make any sound when he left with her?

At this time, Aunt Qing shook her head in a panic, "This yard has been sealed off before, and no one is allowed to enter without the master's consent, and the Miss Jingyun you mentioned, she had... ..."

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something, and quickly closed her mouth.

The cold wind blew gently, and shivered involuntarily.

Why does Aunt Qing always hesitate to speak tonight? It's not like her old style at all.

What made Yuan Ziyi even more strange was: Was this garden closed before?Why should it be blocked?

This epiphyllum blooms so beautifully, it should be taken care of by someone all the time, how could it be blocked?

If it was really blocked all the time, why was it opened tonight?
She continued to ask cautiously: "What did she do three years ago?"

"No...it's nothing." Aunt Qing smiled awkwardly and waved her hands again and again, "Anyway, you must have read it wrong just now, it is impossible to see Miss Zhong here."

In order to prove that what she just said is true, Yuan Ziyi began to describe Zhong Jingyun's appearance: "I don't know if the Miss Zhong you mentioned is the same person I met, anyway, she told me her name is Zhong Jingyun, She is Zhong Qiaoying's younger sister. She is very pretty, and she wears a pink ribbon around her neck with a flower embroidered on it. She speaks in a soft voice and has a ladylike air in her gestures. If you If you know her, you should be able to determine whether the person I just mentioned is Zhong Jingyun..."

"Enough is enough, you don't need to say anything, go back to your room and rest!"

As Aunt Qing said, she grabbed her hand and ran outside like crazy.

Yuan Ziyi was dragged and had to run along with him, but at the same time he was at a loss.

What's wrong with you, Aunt Qing, you look so ugly... Hey, run slowly, what's the matter? "

"Don't be afraid, go back to your room and sleep! Don't talk about anything else."

At this time, Aunt Qing's expression had never been so serious.It's as if Yiyun Garden is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.

what happened?

What exactly is going on?

Isn't Zhong Jingyun a servant here?Why is Aunt Qing so afraid of her?

-

Ran all the way back to the room, Yuan Ziyiyi did not recover.

She gasped for a few breaths and asked, "Aunt Qing, what's the matter with you? You came back out of nowhere, you should give me an explanation!"

"You don't need to ask so many questions. Anyway, the master strictly forbids anyone to step into Yiyun Garden. If no one asks, you should not tell about what happened tonight, and don't go to the garden in the middle of the night in the future. go in, you know?"

"No, if you want me to do what you say, you have to tell me why."

"reason……"

How could this reason be said casually? Aunt Qing stood there in a daze, not expecting Yuan Ziyi's temper to be so stubborn.

In the end, she could only say earnestly: "Miss Yuan, it's better not to ask about some things, and I won't tell you if you ask. Don't make it difficult for me."

Now that she has talked about this, what else can Yuan Ziyi say, at worst, she will check it out by herself in the future.

But then again, this manor is not my home, so it doesn't matter if I check it or not.

Just thinking of Zhong Jingyun as Zhong Qiaoying's younger sister, an indescribable strangeness surged in my heart.

Finally she nodded and said, "Okay then, you should go back and have a rest early when it's getting late."

Aunt Qing let out a long sigh of relief, glanced around, and walked out of the room after making sure there was no problem.

Lying on that white big round bed, Yuan Ziyi felt even less sleepy, and kept thinking about what happened just now in his mind.

What is the origin of this Zhong Jingyun?
Why did Aunt Qing get so nervous?

How did she disappear into the garden then?There is obviously no place to hide there.

Forget it, it's getting late, let's take a rest.

Yuan Ziyi thought that he finally closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
