Qi Jiating recalled the time when Xu Ruyun was the head of the household.
Back then, there would always be delicious meals waiting for me when I came home.
Everything in the mansion was arranged in an orderly manner.
If such extremely cold weather were to occur, Xu Ruyun would have already made all the necessary preparations so that Qi Jiating would have no worries whatsoever.
But now...
Without a competent matriarch to manage the household, the Qi family might even face the prospect of the entire family freezing or starving to death.
A cold wind started blowing outside again.
There was no charcoal fire in the Qi residence, and the entire place was cold and damp.
At this point, Old Madam Qi could no longer hold on.
She curled up in a ball, shivering, and said to Qi Jiating, "My son! Mother is so cold—"
Qi Jiating felt a pang of sadness; he couldn't bear to see his elderly mother suffer like this with him.
At this moment, Xiao Zhenzhen spoke first.
Xiao Zhenzhen: "How about we go find Xu Ruyun?"
Qi Gaoming was initially a little unhappy.
Qi Gaoming: "Mother, why are we looking for her?"
Xiao Zhenzhen: "I saw that little girl Qiuqiu bought a lot of things a while ago. They must have everything they need at home. At a time like this, we can't just watch your grandma freeze or starve to death, can we?"
Qi Jinlan's eyes started darting around.
Qi Jia thought for a while and said, "Yun'er is kind-hearted, she shouldn't stand by and watch someone die."
Xiao Zhenzhen: "Then I'll go find her and ask her for some charcoal and food!"
Qi Jiating: "I'll go instead. If she sees you, she absolutely won't give it to you."
Xiao Zhenzhen looked slightly displeased.
But with her life hanging in the balance, she couldn't care less about anything else.
Xiao Zhenzhen said reluctantly, "Then hurry back!"
Qi Jiating nodded and said, "Okay!"
Outside, snow was falling heavily, but inside Xu Ruyun's house, everyone sat together warmly around a charcoal fire.
They had already prepared plenty of food and were just waiting to get through the harsh weather.
Chiu Chiu let Xiao Feng slip out to see if there were any people outside who needed help.
Because Xiao Feng has a fire phoenix constitution, she is not afraid of the cold.
Many people who are busy working outside freeze to death outside before they can even go home.
Many poor people lack sufficient food and charcoal for grilling, and their lives are in grave danger even at home.
Xiao Feng brought all these people to the shelter built by Qiu Qiu.
There is water and food here, and most importantly, it's relatively warm.
Some of the people who had been frozen slowly recovered.
The poor also found a place to take refuge.
Everyone knelt down and bowed to Xiaofeng.
"Thank you for saving my life!"
Xiao Feng: "I was just doing this for someone. If you want to thank someone, thank her!"
"What was her name? We will remember it forever!"
Xiaofeng: "She said that doing good deeds doesn't require leaving one's name. It's alright, just take care of yourselves."
After saying that, Xiao Feng turned and left.
People kowtowed in the direction of Xiao Feng.
It was freezing cold outside, and the snow had already fallen very thickly.
The carriages could no longer travel on the empty streets.
On her way back, Xiaofeng saw someone collapse on the ground while walking.
Xiao Feng rushed to the rescue.
When she helped him up, she realized that it was Qi Jiating.
Xiao Feng got angry and wanted to abandon him.
However, after taking a few steps, Xiao Feng thought that since it was a human life, she should take it back and ask the owner first.
With a flick of her finger, Xiao Feng sent Qi Jiating gliding directly to their doorstep.
Since Qi Jiating had already fainted, the streets were deserted.
No one cares how he walks.
Xiao Feng pulled Qi Jia through the door and shouted, "Master, I've saved someone!"
The whole family was very enthusiastic and prepared to help the person who came.
Xu Ruyun said, "Quick, prepare hot water! This person must be freezing!"
Chirp: "Yes! Prepare some more food!"
Qi Junzhou: "In this cold weather, he probably fainted from the cold and hunger."
When Xiaofeng entered the door, everyone was dumbfounded.
It turned out that the person Xiaofeng rescued was none other than their most familiar stranger—Qi Jiating.
Xu Ruyun's expression was not good.
Everyone looked at her, waiting for her to speak.
Xu Ruyun: "Don't look at me. After all, it's a living person. Don't worry, I won't just stand by and watch someone die."
Everyone was relieved and hurriedly rescued Qi Jiating.
After all, they are related by blood. Even if there were major conflicts before, when faced with life and death, Qiuqiu and the others still try their best to treat the Qi family better.
The sons helped Qi Jiating take a hot bath and change into clean clothes.
Chiu Chiu also picked up a small spoon and fed him.
Qi Jiating slightly opened his eyes. He was deeply moved to see several children surrounding him and treating him.
His eyes stung, and tears involuntarily streamed down his face.
Chuchu took a small handkerchief and wiped away his tears.
Qi Jiating grasped Qiuqiu's chubby little hand and said, tears streaming down his face, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! It's all my fault!"
What's wrong? Regret it now? Too bad it's too late!
Xu Ruyun walked in and saw that Qi Jiating had woken up, so she said to him, "You're awake? I'll have Jianlong take you home later."
Qi Jiating said softly, "This could have been my home. Wherever you are, that's my home."
No one heard clearly.
Xu Ruyun asked again, "What?"
Qi Jiating: "No, it's nothing."
Xu Ruyun: "Alright, Jianlong, take him back!"
Stegosaurus: "Yes!"
Qi Jiating: "Wait! I have another request."
Xu Ruyun asked, "What is it?"
Qi Jiating: "We haven't prepared anything. Mother, she's freezing to death. Could you lend us some charcoal and blankets?"
Chiu Chiu glanced at Xu Ruyun.
Xu Ruyun said, "Xiaofeng, go and get ready!"
"yes!"
Qi Jiating: "Thank you so much!"
Xu Ruyun: "No need to thank me. Qi Jiating, I hope we never see each other again!"
Qi Jiating grabbed Xu Ruyun's arm: "Yun'er, it's all my fault! Please forgive me."
Everyone else tactfully withdrew.
Chiu Chiu, with a gossipy expression, was unwilling to leave.
Xiao Feng insisted on taking Qiu Qiu away.
Xu Ruyun: "Heh, forgive me? How can you expect me to forgive you? If I stab you first, will you forgive me then?"
Qi Jiating: "Yun'er, it was all because I was confused for a moment and did something stupid! I must have had my brain squeezed by a door to do such a foolish thing!"
Xu Ruyun sneered, "Ha! A moment of confusion? I think it was premeditated, wasn't it? From the moment I was kidnapped by the robbers, it was all part of your plan. Even our marriage was schemed by you!"
Qi Jiating looked embarrassed; he hadn't expected Xu Ruyun to know these things.
Xu Ruyun was not what he had imagined.
The woman who used to be so obedient and subservient to him is gone.
The woman in front of him had a resolute look in her eyes, and was independent and clear-headed.
