Chapter 308 Asking for help
Fu Qingsu, who traveled through time, could only see that the reality was completely different from the plot of the novel in her mind, and she had not yet realized that this journey was full of mistakes.
The "Fu Qingsu" in her memory, who was given to Lin Gu by her family as a concubine for good luck, did not even exist. The body she was using now was Zeng Suqiu, the daughter of Zeng, a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue of the Zeng family in the capital of Dasheng, and his original wife.
"Since you recognize me, why do you still..." Fu Qingsu only felt a dull pain in her head. She remembered that she had traveled through time since she was a child, and grew up to this world at the age of eighteen before discovering that she was a girl named "Fu Qingsu" who had traveled through a book; then she remembered that she was lying on the bed and browsing her mobile phone just a moment ago, and the phone hit her face, and she inexplicably traveled through time to the scene of a wedding with a completely wrong time node.
Several memories that she couldn't tell true from false were mixed up in her mind, causing her a headache. Her eyes gradually became blurred and confused: "No... I'm not..."
Seeing her suddenly look painful, Old Man Lin, who was tied to a chair with a steamed bun stuffed in his mouth, became anxious at first and struggled desperately. However, he had not struggled for two seconds, as if he was suddenly hit on the head by a hammer, and his whole movement froze.
Lin Qiao naturally noticed this - her father's eyes were returning to normal, and on the other hand, Fu Qingsu, who caused his abnormality, did not faint this time.
For Lin Qiao, this was undoubtedly good news, as it meant that the demonic power that Fu Qingsu possessed, which could silently distort a person's memory and thoughts, had weakened, and might even disappear completely.
Of course, to be on the safe side, Lin Qiao did not untie the calmed down Father Lin. She took a step closer to Fu Qingsu who was sitting beside the couch and asked, "Miss, are you okay?"
Fu Qingsu felt as if her brain was wrapped in an airtight membrane, and as if all her thoughts were shrouded in a layer of fog. Every time she tried to think, she found it difficult to concentrate, and sometimes she couldn't even understand what she was thinking.
This experience made her feel inevitably suffocated. When she wanted to sort out her thoughts more and more, suddenly, she felt a coolness between her eyebrows. The invisible and airtight membrane that had originally wrapped around her brain was gently peeled off and pulled away bit by bit.
But it hurts!
Fu Qingsu covered her head with her hands, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. Without thinking too much, she subconsciously asked Lin Qiao for help: "Headache, I have a headache..."
She suddenly reached out to grab Lin Qiao's sleeve, but suddenly fell off the couch headfirst. Although Lin Qiao thought Fu Qingsu was really weird, she couldn't just watch her fall to the ground like that.
The moment she took Fu Qingsu into her arms, she felt the woman's body tremble and twitch violently for a few times, and then she quickly calmed down. Her eyes, which had been closed due to pain, slowly opened, revealing a completely different look from before.
The first thing Lin Qiao thought of was the three words "soul-leaving syndrome".
The woman opened her eyes again and opened her lips slightly: "Thank you, sir."
"Who are you?" Lin Qiao asked tentatively.
The woman sat up weakly and said, "Nunu is the eldest daughter of Doctor Zeng of the Ministry of Revenue. She returned home with me due to family matters."
"It's Madam Zeng." Lin Qiao took two steps back and asked, "Why did Madam Zeng come to Linjiazhuang alone?"
Zeng Suqiu's eyes lit up when she heard the words "Lin Family Manor": "Is this really Lin Family Manor?"
"Of course." Lin Qiao nodded and said, "My surname is Lin, and my given name is Qiao."
Zeng Suqiu blinked her eyes and stared at Lin Qiao's face carefully, as if she was confirming something. After a moment, her eyes flushed, and she stood up from the couch, kneeling down to bow to Lin Qiao: "Nunu is stupid... I was distracted for a moment and did something wrong. My parents don't tolerate it, so I have to return home with my brother to recuperate."
"On the boat back home, Nunu found that she always fainted for no apparent reason. After fainting, it was as if she was in a dream. She could only see that Nunu's words and actions were completely different, but she could not see clearly where she was or who she met."
"After a few times, Nunu found some very strange images in her memory. She saw many people who were completely different from the present, doing things that Nunu had never seen before. Especially the women in it, it was really..." Zeng Suqiu pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and did not continue to talk about this, but naturally turned to another direction, "Nunu also saw a woman who was somewhat similar to you, wearing official robes."
"Do you have a sister or a younger sister?" Zeng Suqiu hunched her shoulders inward, a posture that was more inclined towards self-protection and revealed her extreme uneasiness.
Lin Qiao heard a test in her words, a test... whether she was someone who would wear an official robe in the future - a woman.
Compared with Fu Qingsu who didn't quite understand the situation before, this Madam Zeng was much more cautious, but also more cowardly. However, her previous words revealed a feeling of being willing to risk everything to fight for something for herself.
Lin Qiao closed his eyes, thought for two or three breaths, then turned around and let go of his father who looked helpless.
The first thing Father Lin did after untying him was to take off the cold and hard steamed bun that was blocking his mouth: "I'm going to go outside to see if Old Zheng is here. If you have anything to do or say, hurry up."
Although he was not as good at reading as his daughter, he could see that Mrs. Zeng might know the secret that his family had been hiding for a long time - it was really worrying. It would be better to wait for his daughter to make a decision. No matter what she decided to do in the end, he, as a father, still had the power to help her block it a little.
"Oh, Rong Niang..." Old Man Lin walked out with his feet swaying.
After seeing his father off, Lin Qiao looked at Zeng Suqiu and said, "It's really unfortunate that I am the only child in this family and I don't have any other siblings. However, there are many people in this world who look alike, and Lin is not a rare surname. There are countless Lin's villages in various places in our dynasty. If Madam Zeng wants to look for someone, I'm afraid you've found the wrong place."
Hearing this, Zeng Suqiu bit her lower lip and suddenly knelt down: "Nunu really doesn't know what to do, so...that's why I want to ask you for help. You...After that woman appeared in Nunu's body, many, many fragments about the future appeared in Nunu's memory."
"Nunu saw that you have done things that ordinary women cannot do. You are a very powerful and capable official. You have also helped many women in the same situation as Nunu. So... so I, on impulse, took advantage of my family's lax supervision and escaped..."
