I was afraid there might be people outside, so I whispered to Xie Yuancheng what had just happened. I originally wanted to see him happy, but the more I talked, the more his brows furrowed.

"Don't overthink it, I've recovered. Look how energetic I am." I had Xie Yuancheng come to check on me, and he only smiled after I practically threw my clothes on the ground.

"Alright, let's go change our clothes and put on makeup so we can pick up our sweet little Yu'er."

"Ying'er~" Xie Yuancheng hugged me and touched my face, "I'm not letting you go out."

"Don't talk nonsense. How can we pick people up if we don't go out?" I held his hand in my arms, warming it for him while wearing only thin clothes. I was really, really good to him.

"I mean from now on, I'll keep you hidden at home and won't let you go anywhere else~"

I didn't want to stay at home, so I propped myself up to hug him. "Mmm~ I've already kissed him several times, let's go, let's go."

"You're the only one who likes to kiss my cheek. I always kiss this little mouth of mine that can make me angry or happy at the same time." Xie Yuancheng pressed my lips, and I quickly shook my head and shook off his hand.

"It's so cold, let's get up quickly~" I went to help him up, hugging his waist and dragging him along. "Little Chengcheng, you're so much taller than me, get up quickly."

"Should I get up or not? Let me think. It would be best if Ying'er carried me. Be gentle, after all, you are the general's daughter."

"If you were half as light, I would definitely pick you up, Yuancheng~ I'm too tired, get up." I was already wrapped in his arms, I was so tired, but I wasn't cold at all.

"Hehe~ Ying'er is so naughty, she won't even pick me up~" I was so cold I got goosebumps, I leaned down and kissed her several times before she finally got up.

"You can't drag me along next time, or Ying'er won't be able to go out." Xie Yuancheng was always in good spirits. He shaped my eyebrows and applied some light makeup. I looked in the mirror. Since I had to wear a warm hat, my hair was easy to style.

"My little Chengcheng is so clever and skillful. If you leave me behind again next time, I'll kick you out the door." I clung to Xie Yuancheng's leg, determined not to let him leave.

"Ying'er, it's time to get up and change your clothes." Xie Yuancheng played with my fingers, and I quickly shook my head, "Then your hair and jewelry will be ruined."

"Alright, since Chengcheng is so cute, I'll reluctantly give you some face~"

I got up and massaged his shoulders, smelling his hair. His hair, especially when it was loose and a little messy, was so attractive. The more I looked at him, the more I liked him. I had put on some lipstick, otherwise I would have kissed him a few times.

"You're such a little vixen, I'll let you kiss me again later, but since you were spacing out because of me, I won't hold it against you."

I turned and snuggled into his arms, wanting him to carry me; I didn't want to walk on the cold ground in the dead of winter. Xie Yuancheng said I'd been very proactive lately; I was already going to be carried, but I had to remind him again.

"You annoying little man, all you do is bully people. When you see Yu'er, I'll hug him and not let you get close. I'll watch you."

"Ying'er, if you want Yu'er to watch, that's a very dangerous idea. Don't worry, there will be a nanny to follow him. If you want to sleep in the same bed with him tonight, you'll have to see if I'm happy to."

"You bad boy, you bad boy!" I punched his chest. "You're so annoying! You don't care about your own son at all, you always want us to be separated, you're so mean, so mean~"

Xie Yuancheng told me to hit him, and only after I went outside did I realize that there were servants watching. I quickly rushed into his arms and cried, "You're so annoying!"

"Ying'er, you're so energetic this morning! Let's have a good chat later~"

My face turned completely red. They just like to show up in front of people when I'm not looking. I carefully raised my head. There were really a lot of people from the Ninth Prince's Mansion. Oh well, I won't look anymore!

Music started playing outside. What kind of ridiculous rule is this? We're just going home, why does it have to be so heavy? I looked up, and Xie Yuancheng was smiling at me. I pinched his waist, and then I started looking around.

"These people are dressed so neatly. Are they returning to Linyang or about to send troops?"

"Of course I went back. After all, I am a marquis with a fiefdom, and my father is a prince. This kind of grand gesture is nothing to me."

I deliberately clung to Xie Yuancheng. When he was about to get into the four-horse carriage, I grabbed the side door. It was so cold! I don't know what it was made of, but the wind was so strong it made my hands freeze.

"Rise!" Xie Yuancheng smiled and said to the people standing below. The carriage started moving, and I immediately let go of his hand.

"Your little hands are being naughty, are they cold?" Xie Yuancheng held me as we sat down. When I tried to get up, he grabbed my hand that had been holding the car door. "They're so fair, I love how fair they are."

"Yuancheng~ It's so cold, I'm freezing~" I reached out to show him, but I kept my hand pressed against his neck and wouldn't move. Xie Yuancheng told me to look at him, but I just wouldn't.

"Ying'er~ The carriage has your favorite scent, and we've added some heating materials. Come on, loosen your clothes, you won't be cold."

I felt dizzy and was then pressed down onto the cushion by him. I quickly covered my eyes and said, "I'm cold, I'm so cold!" I would only praise him if he personally told me that Yu'er wanted to be with me.

"I've already taken off my outer coat. I'm wondering if I should put on my clothes, but never mind, I won't. With me here, you won't get cold."

I quickly sat up and stopped his hand. "You know exactly what I want, why don't you say so? It's so hard for the whole family to be reunited, and you still want to separate me from my precious Yu'er. Waaah~ You're so heartless~ Don't you care about us, mother and son?"

"Alright, alright, you little brat, all you do is cause trouble. I shouldn't have let you have a child so early. I've already said it wasn't the right time. Look at you, once you have a child, all you want is the child, you don't even love me anymore."

I forgot? He's a much better actor than me. "Yuan Cheng~ I want to sleep with Yu'er. He's so young. I'm not even 23 yet. I want to sleep with him."

"Okay, you can be together during the day, but not at night." Xie Yuancheng covered me with a blanket. Even if he's gentle, I still have to try to get some benefits.

"Come on, let's lie down together. You're so silly, you don't know how to protect yourself. You don't know how much it hurts me to see you like this." I rolled myself up in the blanket before he could agree. What was this carriage made of? It's clearly made of wood. Isn't he afraid of it burning?

"Let me see your wrist. The people from last night have all been sent back to their hometowns. I heard they'll suffer a backlash. Sending them back to their old haunts will definitely make them remember it vividly."

Xie Yuancheng grabbed my wrist, and I asked him if he was willing. He had that smile on his face again, and I was so curious that I promised to listen to him the whole way before he told me.

"I heard that this is a kind of Gu poison, and if they return to their original place, they will be retaliated against tenfold."

"They're wearing human skin, and I don't know how they made it. Since they want to harm people, they should bear the consequences and suffer the evil consequences themselves!"
