A Dream of Transmigration - Chapter 66
She froze, then shook her head after a long while and slowly put the fan away—it was originally bought for him, but she didn't give it to him because Chu Ying had painted a picture of it, but now she really wanted to give it away.
Should I give it to him? He seems to really like it...
She stared blankly at the fan.
Just then, a figure came into view.
.
"Fifth Madam?" Lin Feifei greeted her in surprise.
When Wu Niang saw it was her, she smiled kindly and said, "Miss Lin?"
Lin Feifei was startled: "You know I'm a woman..."
Fifth Sister finally covered her mouth and laughed out loud: "Although I am old, I still have some discernment."
Lin Feifei was embarrassed.
Wu Niang looked at Ling Yi again, her beautiful eyes full of confusion, probably wondering why the person had been changed.
"My senior brother and I came for a walk," Lin Feifei said, glancing in the direction she had come from. The side road there led directly to the Seventh Madam's courtyard, and she couldn't help but wonder, "Where are you going so early?"
Wu Niang stared at her for a long time, then suddenly sighed.
“Yu’er, he…”
At this point, a look of sadness appeared on her beautiful face.
Lin Feifei understood what she meant; she must be worried about Zhan Qiuyu. She quickly smiled and said, "Don't worry, with us here, Brother Zhan will be fine."
Fifth Sister remained silent, standing there blankly, seemingly lost in thought.
"Fifth Madam?" Lin Feifei comforted her, "Don't worry, he's been perfectly fine all this time, hasn't he?"
Wu Niang then came to her senses, shook her head, and turned to leave.
Seeing her strange expression, Lin Feifei was somewhat puzzled. After a long pause, she suddenly remembered the well and immediately put the fan into her sleeve.
"Senior brother, shall we go and take a look at that courtyard over there?"
Lingyi didn't answer, but had already walked in that direction.

He stopped at the gate of the courtyard.
"I'll wait for you outside."
Lin Feifei nodded and went inside. Of course, she wasn't afraid in broad daylight.
It seems that Zhan Qiuyu's promise to clean up the place that day has not been put into action. The courtyard is still littered with fallen leaves. Well, it's a deserted place with no one living there, so the servants naturally want to shirk their duties.
The well was surrounded by lush green moss and grass.
Lin Feifei peeked out and immediately looked away, only to be disappointed again.
Although the daylight was bright, the well was obviously very deep, and with water in it, she still couldn't see what was down there. She only felt a chill seeping out.
Touching the amethyst stone still didn't produce any reaction.
Lin Feifei realized she had been overthinking things. She was disappointed, but also somewhat unwilling to accept it—if there was nothing unusual, why did she always feel strange whenever she saw it?
She peered carefully over the edge of the well for a long time, but still found nothing. Frustrated, she straightened up to leave, but just as she turned around, she saw a clump of green grass.
The green grass on the edge of the well.
In fact, this kind of green grass is nothing special; it grows everywhere. It's late spring, and everywhere is lush with green grass.
But Lin Feifei always felt something was wrong. After looking around, she finally realized what was going on.
The grasslands were lush and vibrant with the breath of spring, full of life. But now, they were all broken and lying limply, as if they had been crushed by something heavy, and the marks looked very fresh.
No grass is born this way.
But I definitely didn't lie there just now, and you need to turn around to get to that direction. I've never been that way before. Could someone have been here?
Zhan Qiuyu said that the well had been abandoned for a long time and no one would come to draw water. Even if the servants came, they would only sweep up the fallen leaves on the ground, and there was no sign that the courtyard had been swept at all.
Lin Feifei, filled with doubts, slowly walked out of the courtyard gate.
After all this time, Lingyi was still standing in the same place, like an unmoving ice sculpture. When she saw her come out, her icy eyes flashed for a moment, and then she turned around and walked back.
.
Who went there? Was it really an accident?
Lin Feifei lay in bed, thinking about all of this carefully, but still couldn't figure it out. Suddenly, she remembered someone.
Could it be her?
The two encounters early in the morning, and the fact that they were coming from the same direction, along with the strange expressions on their faces... Lin Feifei's heart tightened, and she immediately sat up in bed.
Fifth Sister!
