"Is the girl still asleep?" Primrose tiptoed in and asked softly.

"Shh-" Bai Tan was lowering his head to embroider a handkerchief. When he heard this, he hurriedly gestured for silence and whispered, "It's rare that I slept for a while today, so don't startle the girl."

Yingcao nodded, and didn't know what she thought of for a moment. She leaned close to Bai Tan and whispered, "What do you think is wrong with our girl? Since the last time we were frightened by the cat in the garden, she has been feeling sleepy these days, every day.

I woke up several times during the night... I was also in a trance during the day..." She said mysteriously, "I'm thinking about it, don't call it something dirty..."

"Bah, bah, bah." Bai Tan hurriedly spit a few mouthfuls on the ground, "What are you talking about? The girl is just weaker and less courageous. She is just like you said!" He asked her again, "Isn't it called a cry?

You asked the kitchen for some bird's nest porridge? Why did you come back with two empty paws?"

When she mentioned this, Yingcao immediately got angry and said, "What are you talking about? When the women on the stove heard that we girls wanted to eat, they all said that they had no nose or eyes, and they said it was not good.

Yes. I couldn’t get angry anymore, so I quarreled with them: Do you think if the old ladies eat it now, they dare to say it’s gone?! It’s obvious that they are just bullying us girls for their good temper!”

Bai Tan sighed helplessly and scolded in a low voice, "No, then there is none. Why are you arguing with them... Don't mention it in front of the girl for a while..."

"You don't need to say that." Primrose sneered, "I just pity the girl. She is obviously a pretty young lady like the second girl and the others, but she dares to neglect even that mean person who looks down on others..."

"That's nonsense again." Seeing that she was getting more and more ridiculous, Bai Tan couldn't help frowning and said seriously, "Our girl has old ladies and masters to cherish her, how pitiful it is! If you continue to talk nonsense like this, you can find Aunt Chu yourself.

Mom, go get the board!"

Yingcao curled her lips in disapproval, but did not dare to complain to Bai Tan anymore. She just said, "I'm going to go in and see the girl." Then she tiptoed into the house quietly.

The girl lying on the bed was only twelve or thirteen years old. Her small body was tightly wrapped in the quilt, and only a small face as big as a palm was exposed.

A hair of black hair was spread beside the pillow, and the little face that was as white as porcelain became even whiter and seemed to be transparent.

The sun shone on her through the edge of the window, and her long and thick eyelashes were like two small brushes, casting heavy shadows under her eyes. Although her face was still somewhat childish, it could not hide the shocking beauty in her bones.

Even though Primrose had served her for so many years, she couldn't help but look a little startled at this moment.

She unconsciously slowed down her steps and stepped forward slowly. She was about to untie the curtain from the jade hook to cover the sun that came in, but she heard the person inside whisper, "Don't, don't put it down...it's too dark."

." The voice was soft and waxy, with a subtle tremor in it.

Sakura was stunned, then looked down, "Is the girl awake?"

"Well..." Song Yunpan's eyelashes trembled slightly, but he didn't open his eyes. He just murmured lowly and turned away, "You go down, I want to sleep for a while..."

Yingcao looked at her back anxiously. She didn't know for a moment whether Song Yunpan heard what she just said, so she only answered "yes" uneasily. Seeing that the latter had no reaction, she retreated.

It wasn't until the sound of closing the door sounded in the room that Song Yunpan opened his eyes, silently sat up hugging the quilt, and took a deep breath.

It's not like she didn't hear what Sakura and Bai Tan said outside. If it were in the past, these things would undoubtedly make her sensitive and inferior to cry secretly, but now...

The scene in the dream came back to me again.

Song Yunpan subconsciously tightened his toes and hugged his trembling self.

Everything started ten days ago.

That day, she was fluttering butterflies in the garden when she overheard a strange noise coming from the rockery...

Song Yunpan beat his head in frustration.

It would be nice if she wasn't so busy.

If she hadn't been curious for a moment, through the gap in the rockery, she could see two figures standing up and down inside...

Song Yunpan didn't even know how she held her breath and moved away from the rockery step by step.

She returned to her house in a daze and fell ill that day.

While she was sleeping, she had the same nightmare over and over again: In the dream, a woman was bullied unscrupulously by a man. She struggled desperately, cried, and begged... but no one came to save her.

Song Yunpan always wanted to go over and help her, but when he saw that face clearly, he would wake up with a fright.

Although there were some changes from now, even though the face looked so pale and desperate, it did not affect her recognition at all - it was her own face!

The one who was imprisoned in the bed and allowed to be bullied and humiliated was actually his adult self!

Song Yunpan only felt that his whole body was not well.

Although she is only thirteen years old, she is no longer an ignorant child. Not only has she uncovered her cousin's "good deeds" in the rockery, but she has also had nightmares with some sexual connotations because of it.

For Song Yunpan, who is familiar with women's rings and women's rules, this is undoubtedly a devastating blow.

It is precisely because of this that even after recovering from his illness, Song Yunpan still felt confused.

She really couldn't understand, it was just a nightmare... and in the dream, she was helpless watching things happen like an outsider, but why... why did her chest feel dull pain every time she woke up, and the overwhelming despair seemed to

It seeped into her blood, making her wish she could die immediately...

Even just now, she had another dream: it was still the grown-up version of herself, dressed in red, jumping from the attic...

Song Yunpan closed his eyes hard and tried to squeeze those terrible images out of his head.

She felt that she must have been frightened by the strange scream of the girl in the rockery!

Just like a cat having its tail stepped on, it hurts like hell...

But she clearly remembered that girl's arms around her third cousin's neck, and she kept begging him in that strange voice...

Song Yunpan wailed and buried her face in the quilt - what nonsense was she thinking about!

But I heard a burst of footsteps outside, and then, Primrose's cheerful voice sounded outside the door, "Girl, the uncle's boat has docked at the dock! The old lady, please hurry over!"
