However, most unmarried girls in Bianzhou wore veils when they went out. Although Xie Wan Ning was no longer a girl, she followed the local customs and took off her disguise. She wore a veil to cover her face, leaving only a pair of watery eyes exposed.

One could vaguely make out that she was a good-looking girl, but no one could see her exact face.

She wandered around the city for two days and learned that the people living in the southern part of the city were all rich people in the city, so she planned to buy a house there.

Unfortunately, the security here is too good, and many wealthy people from other places come here to seek refuge. The houses in the southern part of the city are in high demand, and I waited for several days but still couldn't get one.

Just when I was thinking about whether to continue waiting or settle down somewhere else as a second choice, I met an acquaintance.

In fact, we are not acquaintances, we just met once.

That day, Xie Wan Ning returned to the inn as usual. Just as she was about to go upstairs to her room, she heard someone behind her hesitantly calling, "Cousin?"

The voice was very pleasant, and she paused naturally. The person behind her seemed to confirm something and took two steps forward to get closer. "It's me, cousin Xie. I'm Chen Xier."

Xie Wan Ning was stunned, she felt that the name sounded familiar, she turned around and saw a woman with a married woman's hairstyle. Her plain dress could not hide her graceful figure. She only had a silver hairpin in her hair, she looked like a woman from an ordinary family.

She was not wearing a veil, and her pretty face was clearly visible. Xie Wan Ning recognized who she was instantly.

When their eyes met, even though she was wearing a veil, Chen Xier only looked at her pair of clear and bright almond-shaped eyes and finally confirmed it. She smiled at her with a bit of joy on her face, "I didn't dare to recognize her at first, but I didn't expect that she was really my cousin."

Xie Wan Ning pursed her lips gently. Before she could say anything, Chen Xier took out a purse from her sleeve and said, "Xier will never forget my cousin's kindness. Do you still remember this?"

The purse is new and looks well cared for.

It was exactly what she had given him that day. Chen Xier looked around and said, "There are so many people here, cousin, can you please excuse me and talk to me?"

The two went up to the second floor and arrived at the guest room where Xie Wan Ning was staying temporarily.

"I saw you from afar entering the inn two days ago. I thought you looked familiar, but I was afraid that you had something important to do, so I didn't dare to disturb you. But these past few days, I saw you go out alone..."

Chen Xier spoke a long string of words as soon as she entered the room. She paused at this point and said with a worried look on her face, "Cousin, have you encountered any difficulties?"

How could a first-class noble lady in the capital, who married the prince of the Duke's Mansion, appear alone in a small town in the south thousands of miles away from the capital?

Meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

Although this old acquaintance was not very familiar to her, Xie Wan Ning still felt a sense of closeness.

During this period of time, she traveled alone from north to south, abandoning her original identity and escaping, starting all over again. Even though she was determined and had no regrets, she couldn't help feeling a sense of loss as if she was a rootless duckweed.

Seeing that the other party had recognized her, she thought for a few breaths, then took off her veil and said with a smile: "It is true that we meet everywhere in the world. My cousin is also in Bianzhou."

Without the veil to cover her, the delicate face with skin as white as jade was revealed.

At this moment, one of them is dressed as a girl, pretty and lovely, and the other is dressed as a woman, gentle and warm.

The cousins ​​who used to look 50% alike, after not seeing each other for a year, except for their eyebrows and eyes, they are no longer the same at all. (End of this chapter)
