  Chapter 74 Reminder

  Xin You's serious expression made Zhou Ningyue even more worried: "Sister Kou, what's wrong?"

   "What I want to say, sister Zhou may find it very strange—"

   "Sister Kou, tell me." Zhou Ningyue's worry turned into curiosity.

  She has traveled thousands of miles from south to north, so what can she say that makes her feel strange?

   "Actually... I can read pictures."

   Zhou Ningyue's expression was dull for a moment.

   Look, look?

  Sister Kou, a girl who is about her age, knows how to read faces, which is really strange...

  Xin You saw Zhou Ningyue's reaction, and her expression became more serious: "Did Auntie suffer from fire a few days ago?"

  Zhou Ningyue's eyes widened suddenly, and she blurted out: "How does Sister Kou know?"

  Her first reaction was that Ji Cailan told Xin You, but soon realized that she didn't tell her cousin about her mother's hand being burned that night.

  Xin You smiled, and her serious expression softened a bit: "Didn't I tell sister Zhou just now, I know how to read faces."

  Zhou Ningyue maintained a shocked expression and forgot to react for a while.

  Xin You's tone changed: "But the fire that my aunt suffered is not serious, is it?"

   "Yes." Zhou Ningyue nodded subconsciously.

   "Should be just a small burn."

  Zhou Ningyue nodded sharply: "Yes!"

   "I looked serious when I saw my aunt, not because my aunt was in a fire, but—"

   "But what?" By this time, Zhou Ningyue had completely believed Xin You's words, and there was tension in her tone that she hadn't noticed.

   "I look at my aunt's face, and the **** disaster is just around the corner."

   "What?" Zhou Ningyue stood up.

  Ji Cailan happened to walk in, and she couldn't help being surprised when she saw the situation in the room: "What happened?"

   Did you quarrel?

  Zhou Ningyue grabbed Xin You's wrist and said, "Cousin, sit down first, I will go to the bathroom with Sister Kou."

  Ji Cailan sat down, looking at the back of the two leaving with a little sigh.

   Cousin and Sister Kou went to the toilet together so soon?

  The toilet of Zhou’s family is another low room built behind the house. Zhou Ningyue took Xinyou to stand far away from the toilet, and asked her eagerly, “Sister Kou, what do you mean my mother suffered a **** disaster?”

   "It literally means that if you don't take precautions, there will be bloodshed."

"so what should I do now?"

  Xin You was silent.

   "Sister Kou, tell me." Zhou Ningyue was so anxious that there were tears in her eyes.

   "I need to talk to my aunt, but I'm afraid that my aunt will think it's nonsense, maybe even friends won't let us do it."

   "No, my mother is the most gentle." Zhou Ningyue thought for a while, "Then let me talk to my mother first."

  Xin You went back to accompany Ji Cailan, Zhou Ningyue went to the main room to meet Zhou's mother.

   "Why don't you accompany your friends?" Seeing her daughter coming in, Mother Zhou asked with a smile.

  Zhou Ningyue leaned over and took Zhou's mother's arm: "Mother, do you know that Sister Kou knows physiognomy."

   "Do you understand physiognomy?" Zhou's mother couldn't help laughing, "I remember you read a storybook a few years ago and said that you suddenly knew how to interpret dreams."

   "Mother!" Zhou Ningyue gave Zhou's mother a look, "I'm crazy, but Sister Kou is a real person. As soon as Sister Kou saw you, she knew that you had been burned a few days ago."

   "Really?" Mother Zhou smiled, her expression becoming subtle.

   "It's still a lie. You didn't tell your aunts about your burnt hands. If Sister Kou didn't know physiognomy, how would she know?"

   "Then why did you come to find your mother?" Unlike her daughter's simplicity, Zhou's mother immediately understood that Zhou Ningyue came to her for other reasons.

   "Sister Kou said that you will have a **** disaster in the near future."

   Zhou's mother frowned, and said in a deep thought: "Yue'er, go and invite Miss Kou here, and you will accompany your cousin in the west chamber."

   "Oh." Zhou Ningyue didn't expect that Zhou's mother would take the initiative to see Xin You before she mentioned it, and hurriedly responded and went back to the West Wing.

   "Sister Kou, my mother invites you to come over." Zhou Ningyue sent Xinyou to the main room and came back.

   "Cousin, what does Auntie do with Sister Kou?"

  Zhou Ningyue looked innocent: "I don't know either."

  In the east room of the main house, Xin You greeted Zhou Mu: "Auntie."

   Zhou's mother looked at the elegant girl with probing eyes.

   "Miss Kou, please sit down."

  Xin You sat generously on the embroidered pier.

   "Listen to Yue'er, you are proficient in physiognomy."

   "A little dabble."

  Seeing Xinyou's quick admission, Zhou's mother's eyes became more inquisitive: "Miss Kou sees that I have a **** disaster?"

  Xin You nodded: "Yes, and it is a **** disaster with life-threatening risks. I met Sister Zhou by fate. Although I know it's hard to believe what I said, I still can't bear Sister Zhou's sadness."

   "Ms. Kou, can you tell me specifically what kind of **** disaster I will encounter? And how to avoid it?" Zhou's native language is gentle, making it difficult to see his true attitude.

  Xin You shook her head slightly: "I can only see that my aunt's **** disaster is just recently. I don't know exactly how, but it has something to do with people close to me."

  Hearing Xinyou said that it was related to someone close to her, Zhou's mother's eyes flickered slightly, and her expression was a little strange at that moment.

  Xin You looked like he didn't see it, and showed hesitation: "As for how to avoid it, Auntie, you can only be more careful. Try not to have verbal disputes with others, and you should be able to avoid this disaster."

   "Thank you, Ms. Kou, for reminding me." Mother Zhou thanked with a smile.

  Xin You couldn't see what the other party really thought, and she didn't force it.

  She reminded Zhou's mother that it was out of humanity, and she didn't want Zhou's mother to die at the hands of Zhou's father, making the follow-up investigation more difficult.

  And her real plan is to wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival to sneak into Zhou's house in advance, and it would be even better if she can hear the reason for the dispute between Zhou's mother and Zhou's father.

  She can be sure that the quarrel that caused Zhou's mother to die was related to her mother.

   "Miss Kou, go play with Yue'er and the others."

  As soon as Xinyou left, Mother Zhou's expression turned serious.

  Did the new friend my daughter met really know physiognomy, or did she have other plans?

  If what the girl said is true, what kind of bloodshed is related to those close to her?

   Zhou's mother's thoughts turned, doubting Xinyou's purpose for a while, wondering what the **** disaster would be for a while, and being tortured by guilt for many days, she couldn't eat or sleep well, the more she thought about it, the more irritable she became, and she even felt like vomiting.

  At noon, Zhou's mother didn't eat a few mouthfuls, and Zhou Ningyue in the west wing room couldn't even eat. After sending Xin You and Ji Cailan away, she couldn't wait to run to Zhou's mother.

   "Mother, what did Sister Kou tell you?"

   "Just say be careful and don't quarrel with people."

   "Can we avoid this?"

  Mother Zhou raised her hand to trim her daughter's broken hair, with a gentle smile: "Yes, you can avoid it this way, so don't think about it."

  Zhou Ningyue breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I'm still worried that you won't listen to sister Jinkou."

   "How come, Ms. Kou also means well." Zhou's mother paused for a moment, and calmly told her daughter, "Don't mention what Ms. Kou said to your father."
