陈小夏记忆中最后的画面是一个人靠在 wall上 的姿势，那是她失去意识前的最后一刻。
当她再次睁开眼睛，发现自己回到了夫家时，却发现眼前的一切都跟记忆中的完全不同。门铃声响起的那一刻，黄老夫人已经站在门口，手里捧着一份精致的食物。
“小夏啊，别担心。”黄老夫人 walks in holding a plate of steamed buns and a cup of tea. “You were just having a little accident.” 她的语气里带着一丝关切，却让人无法忽视她眼中那双深邃的目光。
陈小夏有些发愣，手指不自觉地摩挲着腰间的玉佩。这枚玉佩可是她父母留给她的唯一遗物，也是她最珍爱的信物。
“Where’s your ring?”黄老夫人 asks, breaking the awkward silence. 陈小夏的手指微微颤抖，声音有些发抖：“它在…在…你的…衣服里。”
“Oh my God.”黄老夫人 gasps out loud. “You’ve been seeing someone else？” 她的声音高亢起来，仿佛要将所有的情绪都释放出来。陈小夏下意识地握紧了玉佩，指节发白。
“What’s going on?” M a y 问, her voice filled with confusion and panic. “Where’s your ring?” 她的视线扫过房间，试图寻找什么线索，却只看到空荡荡的柜子和书架。
“It was… lost.”陈小夏艰难地回答。黄老夫人 look at her with a mixture of concern and suspicion. “It’s not your ring, though.” 她的话像一记重锤，击中了陈小夏内心最柔软的地方。
“But it’s yours!”黄老夫人 demand. “You’ve been seeing someone else! What are you going to do now?” 她的声音里带着无尽的愤怒和失望。陈小夏只能低着头，不想看她的眼睛，但那双深邃的眼眸却仿佛在 reading her thoughts like a book.
“I don’t know what to do.”陈小夏 says softly. “It’s not fair, M a y!” 她的声音里带着哭腔，但黄老夫人却似乎听不到她的泪水。
“You’ve always been very strong, X i a o .”黄老夫人 says gently, trying to comfort her. “Don’t worry, everything will be okay.” 她的手轻轻搭在陈小夏’s shoulder, but the touch is too light for anyone to notice.
“But what about you?” M a y asks again, her voice filled with worry. “How are you going to face them? What if they find out?” 她的声音让陈小夏的心跳得更快了，她看着黄老夫人’s face, which is as calm as it can be in such a difficult moment.
“I have nothing to fear.”黄老夫人 says firmly. “You’re not just my niece now; you’re my successor.” 她的话让陈小夏感到一阵刺骨的寒意，但她的表情却异常镇定。
“Then prove it to me.” M a y says, her voice filled with defiance. “Show me what’s going on in the house!” 她的眼中闪烁着愤怒和决心，仿佛要将所有的委屈都倾诉出来。
“I’ve been keeping an eye on you,”黄老夫人 says, her tone soft but firm. “You’re not supposed to be here.” 她的话像一记重锤，击中了陈小夏内心最柔软的地方。
“Then what?”陈小夏 asks, her voice filled with defiance. “What are you going to do?” 她的眼中闪烁着愤怒和决心，仿佛要将所有的委屈都倾诉出来.
“I’m not letting you go.”黄老夫人 says, her tone firm but soft. “You have to stay, for now.” 她的话让陈小夏感到一阵刺骨的寒意，但她的表情却异常镇定。
“But why?” M a y asks, her voice filled with confusion and panic. “What’s going on in the house? Where’s everyone?” 她的视线扫过房间，试图寻找什么线索，却只看到空荡荡的柜子和书架.
“I’ve been watching,”黄老夫人 says again, her tone soft but firm. “You’re not supposed to be here.” 她的话像一记重锤，击中了陈小夏内心最柔软的地方。
“Then what?”陈小夏 asks, her voice filled with defiance. “What are you going to do?” 她的眼中闪烁着愤怒和决心，仿佛要将所有的委屈都倾诉出来.
“I’m not letting you go.”黄老夫人 says, her tone firm but soft. “You have to stay, for now.” 她的话让陈小夏感到一阵刺骨的寒意，但她的表情却异常镇定。
“But why?” M a y asks again, her voice filled with confusion and panic. “What’s going on in the house? Where’s everyone?” 她的视线扫过房间，试图寻找什么线索，却只看到空荡荡的柜子和书架.
“I’ve been watching,”黄老夫人 says once more, her tone soft but firm. “You’re not supposed to be here.” 她的话像一记重锤，击中了陈小夏内心最柔软的地方。
“Then what?”陈小夏 asks, her voice filled with defiance. “What are you going to do?” 她的眼中闪烁着愤怒和决心，仿佛要将所有的委屈都倾诉出来.
