Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge

Chapter 466 The Sister-in-Law in Uncle-Sister Literature 10

"I really don't know," Qi Ning said softly.

"How could I not know? Don't you know your name, who you're from, or anything like that?" Aunt Luo pressed.

Qi Ning shook her head: "A few days ago, I woke up in a carriage. I only felt a pain in the back of my head, and I don't remember anything else."

"Besides me, there were some other women in the carriage. We were all tied up and didn't recognize each other."

“Last night, we were taken to a dilapidated courtyard and overheard our captors saying they were going to sell us…sell us…”

She hesitated, and although she didn't say it explicitly, everyone in the room understood what she meant.

It's obvious that this girl was abducted by human traffickers.

She had delicate skin and a beautiful face; those people must be planning to sell her to a brothel.

"And then?" Aunt Luo asked again.

Qi Ning continued, "Then we secretly ran away at night, but I got separated from my people and ran in the alley for a long, long time. For some reason, everything went black and I fainted. Fortunately, the young master and aunt saved me."

"So that's how it is. No wonder the girl looks so disheveled."

Aunt Luo was furious after hearing this: "Those kidnappers are really lawless. I don't know where they kidnapped you from."

She turned to the doctor and asked, "Doctor, this girl doesn't remember anything. What could be the reason?"

After a moment of contemplation, the doctor said, "The young lady must have suffered a head injury when she was knocked unconscious, which caused amnesia, and that's why she doesn't remember anything."

"Amnesia?" Duan Yiyuan asked, glancing sideways.

"That's right." The doctor nodded slightly.

"Can it be cured?" Duan Yiyuan asked again.

"Well..." the doctor looked troubled. "It's hard to say."

"Some people with amnesia may never regain their memories in their entire lives, but others may be able to remember them after a period of time. It varies from person to person."

After Aunt Luo saw the doctor off, she saw Duan Yiyuan standing under the eaves.

Aunt Luo glanced in the direction of the east wing, walked over and asked, "Young master, what should be done with that young lady?"

Originally, I just thought I could save that girl temporarily and let her leave once she woke up. Who knew she would have amnesia, not remember her identity, and have nowhere to go? That's a bit troublesome.

Duan Yiyuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the center of the courtyard, seemingly feeling somewhat troubled.

After a moment, he instructed, "Aunt Luo, have Uncle Luo go to the yamen."

Before he could finish speaking and before Aunt Luo could respond, a voice came from behind them.

"Young master, are you sending me away? Am I causing you trouble here?"

Duan Yiyuan turned around and saw that the girl had come out of the room and was standing at the door looking at him.

He explained, "I don't intend to send the girl away. I just want Uncle Luo to go to the yamen to report to the authorities and help the girl find her family."

Qi Ning walked slowly toward him: "What if I was sold by my family?"

"Probably not."

Duan Yihuai looked Qi Ning up and down and said, "Although your outfit is a bit disheveled, it is clear that the fabric is of the highest quality and not something that an ordinary family could afford."

“The girl must be from a wealthy and noble family, so she couldn’t have been sold by her family.”

“But,” Qi Ning said again, “Young master, think about it. Since those people sold me to Qingzhou, I am definitely not a native of Qingzhou. What’s the use of reporting to the authorities here?”

Qi Ning's words left Duan Yiyuan speechless.

That's right. In this situation, even if you report it to the authorities, they might not take it seriously, and it would be very difficult to find out her background.

He nodded slightly: "What the young lady said makes sense."

Qi Ning walked up to Duan Yiyuan, looked up at him, and said as if he was having some difficulty speaking, "I am a stranger in this place, and I only know you, sir. I wonder if you could... could you let me stay for a while? Perhaps I will remember you in a few days."

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Duan Yiyuan moved the hand behind his back, but did not immediately agree.

After all, leaving a young woman behind doesn't seem like the best course of action.

Moreover, the doctor just said that amnesia is not necessarily curable. It would be good if she could remember in a few days, but what if she can't remember at all?

Just as Duan Yiyuan was pondering this, Qi Ning smiled again: "I know that my request is a bit presumptuous. If you find it difficult, that's fine. You don't need to trouble yourself to report to the authorities for me. I can leave on my own."

"Young master saved my life today, which is a great help. I really shouldn't cause you any more trouble. If we have the chance to meet again in the future, I will definitely repay your kindness today."

Duan Yihuai lowered his eyes to look at the woman in front of him.

She was young, dressed in shabby clothes, and looked disheveled, but her back was straight, and her demeanor was neither humble nor arrogant.

Duan Yiyuan could tell that she had lost her memory and was all alone; there was still a sense of bewilderment and fear in her eyes.

She was just afraid to trouble him, so she pretended to be indifferent and forced a smile while saying those words.

"Young master, we shall meet again someday."

After saying that, Qi Ning simply turned and left.

Aunt Luo stood to the side, hesitant to speak, wanting to say something but not daring to, after all, she was just a servant, and this was the young master's courtyard, she had no right to make decisions.

Just as Qi Ning was about to walk out of the courtyard gate, Duan Yiyuan finally spoke up: "Miss, please wait."

Qi Ning stopped in her tracks, her back to Duan Yiyuan, and slightly curled her lips.

When she turned around, the smile on her lips disappeared, and her expression was one of confusion.

"Sir?"

"Please stay, young lady," Duan Yiyuan said.

It's too dangerous for a young woman like her to go out all alone in an unfamiliar place, having lost her memory and remembering nothing.

She might be kidnapped by bad guys again soon after she leaves.

Perhaps it was because he had spent so many years in the temple that his personality was subtly influenced by Buddhist thought, and he gradually came to believe in compassion and the salvation of all sentient beings.

On second thought, leaving a girl to stay for a few days was not a difficult task for him, but it could provide her with a lot of help, so why not?

"Won't this cause trouble for the young master?"

Qi Ning's expression revealed surprise, but also a hint of trepidation and unease.

Since Duan Yiyuan had already agreed, he wouldn't go back on his word.

"Please settle down here for now, young lady. It's just the three of us living in this courtyard, including Uncle Luo, Aunt Luo, and me. There are plenty of empty rooms, so there won't be any trouble."

Qi Ning's eyes lit up, and she walked back with a smile, her steps noticeably lighter: "Thank you, young master!"

Seeing the bright smile on her face, Duan Yiyuan looked away and said, "Miss, you don't need to be so polite."

Aunt Luo chuckled and said, "That's wonderful, then the girl can stay here with peace of mind."

After a pause, Aunt Luo asked again, "By the way, if the young lady doesn't remember your background, does she still remember your name? It's really inconvenient to address you like this."

Qi Ning shook her head slightly and said in a distressed tone, "I don't remember."

"Hey!"

Soon, as if she had suddenly remembered something, she reached out and pulled out a jade pendant tied with a red string from her collar.
