Zhou Linghuai frowned and called Chang An over.

As soon as Chang An entered the inner room, he sensed that the atmosphere was amiss.

Young Miss sat on the bed with disheveled hair. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was stained with tears, like a pitiful child who had been bullied and cried.

He looked at his young master carefully. Perhaps it was because the light in the room was a little dim, but he felt that his young master’s face was inexplicably a little dark.

Zhou Linghuai glanced at him indifferently.

Chang An immediately straightened his back and lowered his head. He looked down, as if he could not feel the dense atmosphere in the room at all.

Seeing that he had become obedient, Zhou Linghuai instructed, “Go get a basin of warm water and bring over a piece of ice.”

Chang An fled.

The room fell silent again.

An inexplicable pressure made Yu Youyao feel a little guilty and afraid. She did not dare to look at her cousin and was about to lower her head to her chest.

Strange.

Her cousin had been fine just now. Why had his expression changed so suddenly?

Could it be that she had said something wrong just now to make her cousin unhappy?

But she had only said what had happened in the nightmare. She had not said anything else?

Why did she still feel guilty?

Her little head was staring too hard, and after a while, her neck felt a little sore. Yu Youyao raised her little neck and glanced sideways. From the corner of her eye, she carefully glanced at her cousin to see if he had calmed down.

Unexpectedly, as soon as her gaze landed on her cousin’s face, she was caught in his deep eyes.

Her eyes seemed to have been stung by a bee. Yu Youyao hurriedly retracted her eyes and buried her head in her chest, not daring to look at her cousin.

Looking guilty, Zhou Linghuai was caught between laughter and tears. He raised his hand…

Yu Youyao lowered her head. From the corner of her eye, she was still paying attention to her cousin’s movements. She saw her cousin’s hand on his leg suddenly raise—

Yu Youyao was shocked and dodged to the side. “Don’t hit me!”

The air immediately fell silent—

“l want to hit you?” Zhou Linghuai’s arm froze in midair, and he was so angry that he was about to laugh. He took a deep breath and couldn’t help but grind his teeth. His voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. “Do you think I’ll hit you?!’

Yu Youyao’s desire to live exploded. “I-I didn’t. You heard wrongly just now. Cousin is the best cousin in the world and treats me the best. I like Cousin the most. Why would I think that Cousin wants to hit me?” At this point, her eyes darted around and she raised her head bravely with an expression that said, “I’m not afraid of death.” She met her cousin’s eyes and accused him righteously, “You can’t accuse me wrongly. You must have heard wrongly.” She didn’t really think that her cousin was going to hit her.

She just felt that her silent cousin was a little too scary. She felt a little guilty. When she saw he walking back like a constable, she thought that he was here to arrest her.

The corners of Zhou Linghuai’s mouth twitched. He said it self-righteously, but his eyes were sparkling, and his eyelashes fluttered. He tried his best to look innocent and pitiful.

The anger in his heart seemed to have been doused with a bucket of cold water. With a puff, it was completely extinguished. Sparks flew tenaciously a few times before completely extinguishing.

“You…” Zhou Ling was helpless. His stiff hand landed on the top of her head and rubbed it hard twice.

This time, Yu Youyao did not dodge at all.

She blinked and looked at her cousin eagerly. She was obedient and her eyes were pitiful, as if she was trying to appease him. I knew that Cousin wouldn’t hit me. I didn’t dodge this time!

Zhou Linghuaijun couldn’t help but feel the unhappiness in his heart completely dissipate.

Why should he be calculative with a nightmare?

This was not just a nightmare, but a premonition between reality and falsehood.

It was just an omen.

In the nightmare, he was already terminally ill. It was already very difficult for him to set up the chess game. He probably did not have much energy to worry about Yu Youyao.

With his personality, even if he was no longer able to protect her for the rest of his life, he probably wouldn’t have too many ties with Yu Youyao, lest he implicated her and dragged her into his chaotic world.

It was also because he wasn’t able to protect Yu Youyao that she had fallen into the trap of the Duke Rongs Residence and lost her reputation.

Generally speaking, in the nightmare, Yu Youyao’s reputation had only been damaged, and her reputation had not been ruined. She could not marry into a wealthy family, but there was definitely no problem with a smaller family. It wasn’t that the Yu Clan couldn’t find such a family.

If they knew someone, her life would be good.

However, the person who had taken a fancy to Yu Youyao was the Third Prince. Ordinary poor families definitely did not dare to offend him.

Since Yu Zongzheng had agreed to the marriage, Yu Youyao was disillusioned and wanted to cut her hair and become a nun.

Other than marrying into the Third Prince’s residence as a secondary consort, Yu Youyao could only find another family that was not afraid of the Third

Prince’s n.o.ble family. Otherwise, she would only die.

In the nightmare, Song Mingzhao had no feelings for Yu Youyao.

Then, it was very likely that Old Madam Yu had used some method to force Song Mingzhao to marry Yu Youyao.

He had not interacted much with Song Mingzhao, but he had observed him in the past two years. This person seemed to be polite and quiet, but he was ruthless. He had a high tolerance. There was a knife above the word “endurance” in Chinese. People who were used to enduring were all ruthless people,

Song Mingzhao clearly held a grudge against Old Madam Yu and Yu Youyao. It was also because Yu Jianjia was sick and weak that he had no scruples and raised Yu Youyao as a medicinal test subject for Yu Jianjia to extract her blood. In the end, he cut out her heart and she died.

Then the latter part of the nightmare made sense.

For the sake of her granddaughter, Old Madam Yu had also thought of everything. Unfortunately, she did not know that from the day Yu Youyao’s reputation was damaged, she had no way out.

Marrying the Third Prince was death, but marrying Song Mingzhao was a fate worse than death.

Was Old Madam Yu wrong?

That’s right.

She was a person who was about to die. She had long expected that her granddaughter would only die if she married into the Third Prince’s residence, She just wanted to find a way out for her granddaughter.

In the end, it was just a nightmare.

In the nightmare, Yu Youyao had married into the Zhenguo Marquis Residence in name only.

In reality, Yu Youyao also kept a respectful distance from Song Mingzhao. With him protecting Yu Youyao, it was unlikely that she would have too much interaction with Song Mingzhao.

Whether it was a nightmare or reality, Song Mingzhao was not qualified to have Yu Youyao.

Seeing that her cousin had not said anything, Yu Youyao panicked a little. Her fair fingers pinched a small corner of her cousin’s sleeve and tugged at it gently. She called out fawningly, “Brother Jingzhi, are you still angry?”

Zhou Linghuai chuckled. “I’m not angry with you. It’s just that I felt a little regretful that I couldn’t protect you in your nightmare.”

Yu Youyao heaved a sigh of relief and quickly said, “Cousin also said that nightmares and reality are the opposite.. Look, aren’t I fine now?”
