Being able to make Miss Meng stay, Xiaowan was the happiest of all. She pulled Ling Chaofeng and said, ”My husband is such a good person.”

Ling Chaofeng appeared to be displeased: ”You didn't sleep last night, so you should go rest first. Taking care of the patient is more important, and you shouldn't tire yourself out.”

At the other side, Ershan quietly went back to his room, but Aunt Zhang intentionally asked: ”Ershan, why did you take his purse?”

Ershan hurriedly turned around, and his shy little brother blushed as he said awkwardly: ”I caught her that day, I'll pick her up if she falls to the ground.”

Uncle Biao said to his wife in annoyance: ”Why are you teasing him?” Then, they chased Ershan to study, saying that even if it was lunch, they would send it over to him.

And on the seventeenth day of the first month, the sky had cleared in the morning and it was already snowing heavily. I heard that there were monstrous waves on the Baisha River, and those who were in charge of the government, those who were in charge of the county, those who could help along the way, had all gone up. After fishing for two days, there were no corpses to be seen.

In the afternoon, Ling Chaofeng went out against the snow and wind. Xiaowan was very worried and looked forward to see him back before nightfall, but Ling Chaofeng was fine.

”Next time, if you don't know how warm it is, then I'll let you see.” Ling Chaofeng rubbed her hands together, his ice-cold fingers slowly warming up on his palm. He was both angry and pained, ”Didn't I tell you to come back at night and wait here foolishly?”

”Such a heavy snowstorm, I'm worried about you.” Xiaowan looked at her husband as if he had not seen enough. Even if he was angry and glared at her, she was not afraid.

However, Ling Chaofeng chided him: ”Your sweet mouth is useless. You are not allowed to get sick, do you hear me?”

Xiaowan laughed: ”I'm not tall, but I'm sturdy.”

At this time, Aunt Zhang came over from the kitchen, and said while carrying the medicine, ”Evening, let's go and feed the medicine to Miss Meng.”

”He's coming.” The Xiaowan ran over and came back, saying to his hubby, ”Hurry up and go upstairs to change your clothes, I've already put all of these on the bed for you. Put them on a chair, I'll go and clean them later.”

In the room on the second floor, Meng Lianyi was still unconscious. She was woken up by the Aunt Zhang and had to carefully feed the soup.

The Xiaowan pressed her forehead against the fire and laughed: ”The fever has subsided a lot, but it's still warm, and needs to be taken care of. You burned your hands like a stove last night, and I was afraid you'd burn your head off. ”

Lian Yi was extremely weak, and did not have the strength to converse with Xiaowan. However, this person kept smiling at her, and her beautiful big eyes were shining like pearls in the night.

”What's your name?” In her heart, Lian Yi finally opened her mouth as she envied this young lady for being able to live a carefree life.

”My name is Xiaowan, my husband is surnamed Ling, my father is surnamed Mu.” The Xiaowan said passionately, ”You can call me whatever you want. After the new year, I will be 18 years old. Miss Meng, how old are you?

Meng Lianyi turned her face away and ignored her. Seeing her like this, the Xiaowan did not say anymore and tucked her in. Just as she was about to leave, Lian Yi opened her mouth and said: ”You know who I am, right?”

The Xiaowan said, ”Let's guess, you are the Miss of the Lord Prefect. After all, only a bride passed by his door yesterday.”

Lian Yi said: ”If you want to send me back, let them come and pick me up.”

”My husband said that when you recovered, you should decide where to go.” Xiaowan's expression was gentle, ”Don't let your thoughts run wild, first take care of your body, this disease of yours is no joke, you almost died.”

Lian Yi sneered: ”It's good that he died, but I don't want to die for them, so I fell into the water and unconsciously started swimming. I wasn't willing to freeze to death, and I didn't want to drown either, so I swam to the shore.”

Xiaowan moved a chair over and sat down to listen quietly.

Seeing that she was quiet and did not say much, Lian Yi relaxed and told Xiaowan what had happened.

She wanted to commit suicide by jumping into a river, but she didn't expect her body's instinct and didn't want to die. Sadly, no one on board was really willing to jump into the icy river to save her. By the time they had to jump in, she was already behind the boat and had climbed onto the shore.

I walked along the river bank back to the pier, fainted in the woods, woke up, continued walking, and arrived here. Seeing that it was an inn, I wanted to find a place to stay, but I didn't expect that once I opened the door, it would be the person who caught me that day. Lian Yi coughed a few times, and continued, ”I just want to take back the money bag that my sister gave me, even if she dies, I can still find her underground.”

”Miss Meng, since you've survived, don't go looking for death.” The little girl gently smiled and touched her hand, ”Having revived, you better not disappoint yourself.” ”When one comes back from the dead, it would be great.”

Xiaowan showed the words she had just learnt.

Lian Yi said in disdain: ”Why are you always so happy, why are there so many happy things?”

Xiaowan said: ”Do you feel more comfortable raising the corner of your mouth?”

Lian Yi was stunned, but Xiaowan gestured at her. She unconsciously raised the corner of her mouth, and in an instant, her heart became clear.

”I haven't smiled since my sister died.” Lian Yi said, ”She was forced to her death by her husband, but my father still wanted to send me there. When my sister had calmed down in the past, she told me to never go her way, but not only did my father not pity her, he also wanted to send me there.”

”Is Eldest Miss being abused?” Anger surfaced on Xiaowan's face.

Lian Yi shook her head and said: ”She had given birth to a daughter on the first year of marriage. From then on, her health was not very good, but her mother-in-law forced her to give birth to a son. He finally had a son two years ago, but he died three days later. ”My father didn't shed a single tear, but when he rushed to the capital, he had already arranged for my marriage. The people there felt that my aunt would be better off with her sister's child than marrying someone else's child, so they agreed.”

The Xiaowan said in heartache: ”Are the eldest young miss's children still in the capital?”
