"Madam, Madam, you have to do something for Yun'er! It's so cold, and Xie Wanyun actually forced the child to stand in the snow! Look at her little hands and face, they're so frozen!"
The two old ladies took Quan Ge'er to check him carefully.
Yes, they had frostbite! Calluses appeared on those delicate little hands!
He suddenly became furious and started to curse at Xie Wanyun!
I've been bullied by her for so long these days, and now I can finally teach her a lesson with good reason!
Liu Yun'er was secretly pleased with herself, but she put on a mournful expression and cried, "Madam, even though I hate you, I'm not angry. This is what I deserve. Who asked you to love me? If you're upset, just take it out on me. But Quan Ge'er is still young, and he's also a member of the Qin family. Madam, you shouldn't, absolutely shouldn't, take it out on him!"
Quan Ge'er was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
His face flushed red, and he kept saying, "Mom, don't say that..."
Old Madam Qin frowned and paused the cane in her hand.
"It's freezing cold, Xie Wanyun, are you planning to let us two old ladies stand in the yard forever?"
Xie Wanyun brushed away the hair that was hanging beside her cheek, on which beads of ice had formed.
It was crystal clear, making her face look even more flawless.
Her voice was as clear and cold as an ice bead.
"I didn't ask you to come."
The two old ladies were so angry that they almost fainted when they heard this.
Xie Wanyun walked up the stairs, entered the house, and raised his chin at these people.
If you want to come in, come in. If not, leave!
At this time, the snow was falling heavier. They looked at each other, held their breath, and followed her into the room.
The little girl quickly lit a charcoal fire and the room became warm.
Wei continued, "Xie Wanyun, why do you want to torment the child?"
Xie Wanyun glanced at her with her narrow eyes. Before she could speak, Quan Ge'er was already anxious. He walked to the middle of the room and bowed to the two old ladies.
Said: "Old lady, madam, the lady didn't force me, it was I who wanted to learn swordsmanship..."
When Liu Yuner heard this, her eyes widened in anxiety. She pulled Quan Ge'er over and scolded him, "What nonsense are you talking about? Hiss!"
Suddenly, her throat felt a sharp pain, as if it was cut by a knife. She was so scared that she just opened her mouth and dared not move.
Wei frowned and asked, "Liu Yun'er, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Yun'er pointed at her throat, but she couldn't speak. She still held Quan Ge'er with both hands.
Quan Ge'er broke free from her and shouted, "Madam, Madam, the eldest lady didn't force me to do this. I just wanted to learn Kung Fu. How can I be afraid of the cold or the heat when practicing Kung Fu? I wanted to practice Kung Fu on this snowy day."
Liu Yun'er's throat itched, and she suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood. She was so frightened that she trembled as she held the blood-stained handkerchief.
Xie Wanyun naturally knew that this was caused by frostbite on her throat mucosa when she was howling just now. She had seen this situation many times in the army.
He glanced at her coldly and ignored her.
Madam Qin and Mrs. Wei had come here to call for an explanation, but now they were met with disappointment.
He had no choice but to get up in disappointment, give Quan Ge'er a few words of advice, and then return home in disappointment.
Liu Yun'er coughed up blood and was so scared that she thought she had tuberculosis and would not live long. She had no mind to ask anything else and quickly followed the two men away in shame.
The snow didn't stop until the next morning.
Xie Wanyun took a carriage to the Imperial City Division.
There had been no news from Zhang Mingzhen. She had not wanted to urge him, but she could not contain her longing for her child and decided to go and ask him in person.
Zhang Mingzhen was surprised to see her. "Madam, it's so cold, why are you here?"
Xie Wanyun pursed her lips, feeling a little nervous. When one is filled with expectations, one can be most anxious.
"I—came to ask about the child."
Zhang Mingzhen looked ashamed and slowly shook his head. "My apologies, Madam. I'm incompetent and haven't been able to locate the young master yet."
Xie Wanyun took a deep breath.
Zhang Mingzhen didn't even dare to look into her eyes.
The silent air was unsettling.
Suddenly, Xie Wanyun gave a bitter smile and said, "It's okay. I just came to ask."
After all, so many years have passed, and finding a baby without any clues is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
How could she force others to do something?
