Chapter 457 Not dead? The real Shen Nianran
In the past two days, she had visited Jiading completely and it was time for her to rest, so she decided to discuss with Zi Yexiu about setting off for Youquan Village and entering the canyon. She told him about it and he nodded in agreement.
After packing and getting ready, they set out early the next morning. In half a day, they arrived at the village. Noon was the time when the miasma in the canyon was the weakest, so they found a place in the village to rest for the night and go into the mountains the next morning.
Youquan Village is a village surrounded by mountains on all sides. There is a river flowing outside the village. The scenery is pleasant with mountains and rivers nearby. Even in the hot summer, there is a refreshing coolness when you enter the village.
The village is not big, but because of the border canyon, people often come to collect herbs in the mountains. There are inns, restaurants and teahouses. The courtyards in the village are staggered and paved with bluestone roads, giving people a feeling of comfort and tranquility.
Zi Ye Xiu had someone book a farmhouse in advance, and they would stay in this farmhouse tonight. After a simple lunch, she thought that it was a rare opportunity to come to such a place, so she walked out and planned to take a stroll around the village.
Not long after she walked out, she ran into a woman. The woman stopped in front of her with a smile on her face and said, "Aran, where are you going?"
Yao Qingnian looked around and saw no one else besides herself, so she pointed at herself and asked, "Sister, are you talking to me?"
"You are really acting strangely today. If I'm not talking to you, who else should I talk to? There are no outsiders around here and I still have to go to the village chief's house. I won't say much to you. Go back to my house and take care of my brat. No one else will listen to him except you." The woman smiled and left.
"Hey..." Before Yao Qingnian had the chance to ask clearly, the woman had already walked away. She thought, maybe the woman recognized the wrong person?
She continued walking forward in confusion. After a while, she met another woman who greeted her: "Miss A'ran, you look so beautiful today. I've never seen you wear this before."
“???” Yao Qingnian was confused. Why did everyone here seem to know her?
At this time, a young man came over and said, "Sister A'ran, you are here! I have been looking for you for a long time. My mother asked me to call you back. I have something to talk to you about."
After saying that, the young man dragged her away without saying anything. Yao Qingnian didn't have time to explain before she was taken to a yard. The young man let her go and shouted inside: "Mother, I found Sister A'ran."
"Ah Ran, your uncle has sent me a letter. Please help me see what is written on it."
A woman in her forties came out from the inner room, holding a letter in her hand excitedly. She handed it to her and asked her to help read it.
Yao Qingnian did not take it, and said, "Aunt, do you know me?! I am not the A'ran you are talking about. I just came to your village today."
"What?" The woman took back the letter in her hand and looked her up and down. She noticed that although the girl in front of her looked almost the same as A'ran, her dress and demeanor were very different from A'ran's. The woman looked surprised: "This... there is no one in the world who looks so similar?"
At this moment, a girl came in with a basket in her hand: "Aunt Shuiying, I went to school and heard that you were looking for me. What's the matter?"
When she entered the yard and saw Yao Qingnian standing there, she was also stunned. The basket in her hand fell to the ground, and the books inside fell out and scattered all over the floor. How could this person look so much like me?
Not only her, Yao Qingnian also looked at the girl in front of her with disbelief on her face. She suddenly remembered, Ah Ran? Could it be the lady that Linglong mentioned, the real Shen Nianran? She is not dead!
"Who are you?" she asked first.
"My name is Shen Nianran."
"Shen Nianran?" She is Shen Nianran, then who am I? The girl's eyes widened.
"Well, do you know Linglong?" Her reaction when she heard the name Shen Nianran seemed to indicate that she was the real Shen Nianran.
"Who are you and why are you here?" The girl looked at her warily. Could it be that someone had sent her here to kill her again? She shrank back a step.
"Don't get me wrong." Judging from her expression, she probably thought she was someone sent by Shen Wenting. Yao Qingnian patiently explained that she had no ill intentions. She found a place to sit down and slowly told him everything. She also wanted to know what was going on.
"You are Shen Nianran, right? Didn't you fall off the cliff and die? How come you are here?"
"How do you know about this? Did those people ask you to come?" Shen Nianran was still wary of her.
"It was your maid Linglong who told me that I saved her accidentally. The first time she saw me, she mistook me for you, so she entered the Shen Mansion in a daze, using your identity. I was originally going to leave, but I didn't expect that I was actually the Shen Mansion's child. Later, we found out that you and I are most likely twin sisters. In order to investigate the truth of the matter, I came here to find medicine for Shen Jinghong, the young master of the Shen Mansion, your and my biological brother. He suffered a serious brain injury." After Yao Qingnian said this, Shen Nianran had not yet recovered from her shock. What, she has a sister?
"I grew up in the countryside and have no connection with the Shen family. I don't know about these things." She said lightly, and then told her own experience: "About half a year ago, the Shen family suddenly sent someone to pick me up. Linglong and I were very happy, but on the way back, we met robbers. I thought they were robbers at first, but when I was forced to the edge of the cliff, the masked man in black said, blame your bad luck, he was also following someone else's orders to kill me.
I was forced to jump off the cliff, but luckily I was saved by a dead tree. Then the tree broke, and I held on to it and floated to Youquan Village, where I was saved by Ajun, the young man just now. It was isolated from the world and life was peaceful. I liked it here, and after I recovered from my injuries, I stayed. I could read a few words, so I went to the village school and became a female teacher. "Shen Nianran told the story of what happened after she fell off the cliff.
"I have already found out that you fell off the cliff. It was Shen Wenting who did it. But I still don't know why he did it."
"Is it him?" Shen Nianran never dreamed that it was her own father who wanted to kill her. Why? If he didn't want to acknowledge her, why didn't he just let her fend for herself in the countryside? Why did he use an excuse to take her back?
