Chapter 1090: Chapter 1090: Amnesiac Lady Hunter vs. Transmigrated Lady in the Mountains (Part 6)

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and said to Gu Shengyin, “Hold on.”

Then Gu Shengyin watched him get up and bend down, as if retrieving a small wooden box from under the bed.

The wood still looked quite new, clearly indicating that the box had only recently been made.

Shih Lei opened the box and handed it to Gu Shengyin.

Inside was a milky white Jade Pendant and a white jade hairpin of the same color.

“These are the items found on you, and I’ve taken the liberty to keep them safe for you. There is an inscription on the Jade Pendant; see if it can help you recall anything.”

Gu Shengyin reached out her hand and picked up the Jade Pendant.

As Shih Lei watched, he felt that her slightly pale hand seemed even whiter than the Jade Pendant itself.

On the Jade Pendant, the word “Luan” was carved neatly.

Gu Shengyin understood the significance of this Jade Pendant; every child of the Imperial Family in Tianze Kingdom is given such a pendant at birth, symbolizing their identity, with their name engraved on it.

She gently stroked the inscription with her hand and softly said, “I still can’t remember anything, but since it has the character ‘Luan’ on it, Big Brother Shih, you should call me Ah Luan from now on.”

“Ah Luan, Ah Luan…” Shih Lei murmured the name twice and remarked with a smile, “It’s a lovely name, I’ll call you Ah Luan then.”

A trace of a smile flickered through Gu Shengyin’s eyes.

In the days that followed, Shih Lei would always punctually bring a food box inside during mealtime to deliver food for Gu Shengyin. He never stayed too long; after all, considering they were a single man and woman, Shih Lei was also worried about Gu Shengyin’s reputation.

A Xiu, on the other hand, would find spare time to come and see.

Even though Gu Shengyin had made it quite clear that she wasn’t pleased to see her, A Xiu chose to ignore it each time.

On this day, as Shih Lei was entering the door, he happened to see A Xiu leaving.

As soon as he stepped in, he noticed the fatigue on Gu Shengyin’s face.

He was aware of the fact that A Xiu came to his home every day.

“What’s wrong? Is A Xiu disturbing your rest? I’ll go and talk to Auntie Zhou later.” he said.

Gu Shengyin shook her head, “No, I’ve been able to go outdoors recently, I’ll just go out and enjoy some sunlight. It’s not so much that she’s disturbing me, but this A Xiu girl tends to ask me some strange questions.”

Upon hearing the words “strange questions,” Shih Lei’s expression changed slightly.

He hesitated for a moment, but decided to inform Gu Shengyin, “I’ve heard some rumors regarding A Xiu. Normally, I wouldn’t share gossip, but since you’ve encountered this, I should give you a heads-up.”

“Oh?” Gu Shengyin showed interest.

Shih Lei said, “I heard Auntie Zhou say that A Xiu hasn’t been well for some time. She used to be a diligent girl, but now doesn’t get out of bed until late and needs to be called multiple times by Auntie Zhou. Even when she finally wakes up, she avoids tidying the room, and is picky about meals…”

He lowered his voice and said, “Auntie Zhou even mentioned her daughter might be possessed.”

Gu Shengyin understood right away — this wasn’t possession but clearly a change of person.

It seemed that in this mountain village, A Xiu was making no efforts to hide her true nature.

Indeed, perhaps in her mind, this was a place she was bound to leave eventually.

There was simply no reason to waste her energy here.
