Yun Nian looked at her trembling fingertips, which were tightly grasped by her mother. She turned her head to look, and Liu Shulan's pair of loving eyes suddenly rushed in.

"Sisi?"

Too many times, her mother had called her with such a gentle voice, and she clearly should have dropped everything and thrown herself into her mother's warm embrace.

But she just remembered the unripe berries she had eaten out of curiosity when she was a child. The bitter and numbing taste passed from the tip of her tongue to the bottom of her heart, just like now.

"It's okay, mother. I'm a little tired. If you allow me, I would like to rest first."

She broke free from the hands without leaving a trace, and looked up at the small house on the right. There was still a wooden sign with a name on it.

A neat and beautiful word "娇" appears on the wooden sign.

Yun Jiao had been here before, so this yard must have been where she lived before, right?

In her memory, Yun Jiao was her cousin, but she didn't have much contact with her.

Thinking of this, she frowned imperceptibly, and an irresistible feeling of boredom suddenly surged up, like a heavy torrent that swallowed her up.

Liu Shulan also followed her gaze and looked over there. When her eyes touched the sign, she showed a panicked look.

"This... When did this thing appear? Why don't you take it down for me?"

She instructed her maid to throw the sign to the ground beside her. The fallen leaves just covered the words on it. When she looked up again, she saw Yun Nian had already pushed open the door and walked into another room.

Qiulan and the other two were not there, and the newly assigned maids of the Prime Minister's wife were all blocked outside the door, leaving only the closed door and the dim candlelight that quietly lit up.

The thin and gaunt silhouette was reflected on the windowsill, then gradually faded and disappeared behind a screen, never to be seen again.

The Prime Minister's wife, who was always graceful and elegant, could only suppress the bitterness in her heart at this moment. She blinked her eyes and said to the person beside her,

"Be smart, if the lady has any instructions, do it immediately."

There were neat responses coming from outside the door. Yun Nian had already turned to the inner room. The "gurgling" sound she heard was getting closer and closer.

"Ok?"

Yun Nian then noticed that the house she had chosen at random was actually connected to a spring, with its back against dark rocks and surrounded by jagged rocks piled together, forming an absolutely hidden separate area.

She looked up at the sky, and saw silvery white stars surrounding a crescent moon.

The swirling mist rose from the water. The girl next to the hot spring squatted down and put her hand into the water. The overheated temperature soon dyed her fingers red.

The redness spread to her palm and seeped into the scar left by the healed wound. She stroked her uneven palm, somewhat absent-minded.

She had no memory of this wound. Every time she saw it, she felt that the injury must have been very serious to leave such a deep mark.

But she did not ask Yun Shuo or her father and mother. She had a vague feeling that even they didn't know where the wound came from.

Although maids were not allowed to come in to serve, all the necessary things were placed in the room. Yun Nian even saw the powder made from Aventurine pearls, which had an unknown fragrance.

She took off the dark green earrings and placed them on the table beside her. She shook her head. Her short hair irritated her neck, causing a slight itch.

Until she was left with nothing, she fell into the warm spring water.

All the beautiful sights and colors in the world seemed to blend together. The cold moonlight hung high above the dark night sky like a silver chain, and the stars were the embellishments of the chain.

But the bright moonlight cannot be compared with the beauty in the hot spring.

Only silence can not break this dream-like scenery.

The curling hot air was white, blurring the jade-like figure in the center. Yun Nian's short hair just hung on the water surface, wetting the bottom.

The relatively warm water flow dispelled the fatigue in her heart very well. It was not until she touched the cold stone wall and was stimulated by the coldness that she relaxed completely.

"I seem to have lost my memory."

Yun Nian slowly uttered six words in the white mist, and her cold and clear pupils revealed a distressed doubt at this moment.

Although she felt that there were no missing fragments in her memory and she remembered everything from childhood to adulthood clearly, she just felt that something had changed that she could not predict.

"Why would I be afraid of my father, mother, and brother?"

Obviously, she was spoiled and willful, liked to stick to them, and expressed her love intimately, but now she was left with only indifference.

"Xiyu, Zuo Mingyuan, Ning Sinian... I feel uncomfortable when I think of these people."

She touched her chest and felt like she was being pressed down by a heavy rock. She was almost suffocating. She didn't know if it was because the water temperature was too high or because of her own fault.

The girl retracted her neck and let herself sink a little further. The warm water covered her shoulders and gathered at her collarbone to form a smaller pool.

"And the Regent, I should know him too, right?"

But in her memory, Wei Qingjue was just a name that no one dared to mention, and he was the source of everyone's fear.

Such a terrifying person would suddenly appear in her boudoir, speaking angrily in a wronged tone.

To be honest, Yun Nian thinks that this kind of regent is a bit cute.

"Why don't you ask him next time? But if you forget about the important people and then ask back, wouldn't it be hurtful?"

She felt a little distressed, so she buried her chin in the water, pouted her lips and spit out bubbles in the spring.

She thought of his knife-cut sideburns, beast-like pupils, and harsh lips, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Forget it, forget it, don't ask."

In her ears was the sound of slowly flowing water, the small stones at the bottom of the pool were slippery, and her small feet were still shaking and bumping into something soft.

"Ok?"

The strange touch gave people goose bumps. Yun Nian hastily withdrew his foot and looked at the slightly milky spring water with some caution.

The water was swaying slightly, but there was no shadow on the bottom of the water. Perhaps for half a quarter of an hour, or perhaps for dozens of breaths, Yun Nian did not see anything strange.

"I'm too worried."

She relaxed and tried to lean against the stone wall again, but the place on her back was no longer cold, but instead had a burning sensation that was difficult to ignore.

"Let me see, where did this beauty come from?"

A voice that was soft and charming to the bone came from behind Yun Nian, and hot air gushed out close to her ears.

She turned her head with a look of panic and met a pair of charming green eyes.
