Coming out of Hansong Garden, a wave of cold air hit me in the face.
It's snowing again.
As the night deepened, snowflakes fluttered down from the dark sky, flying, circling, and quickly leaving a shadow in front of the warm light of the lanterns in the corridor, then fell down and sank silently into the earth.
Xie Wanyun reached out to catch a snowflake. The icy flake fell into her warm palm and melted into a drop of water.
There seemed to be a lot of snow this winter, but she vaguely remembered that there was no snow in this winter in her previous life, only extreme cold.
Where was the child she gave birth to that cold winter? Could she ever find him? Could they ever meet again?
In such freezing weather, the newborn baby was thrown into the snow, with little hope of survival. Perhaps the child hadn't been taken away that day, and Zhang Mingzhen had only said that to comfort her?
"No!" She immediately rejected the horrible idea.
"My child must still be alive. I can feel it."
It was a short distance and she walked very slowly.
Back at Nong Yu Hall, Yu Zhui quietly arranged for the maids to warm the stove and make tea. She could see that Xie Wanyun was worried and feared he wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.
Xie Wanyun took off his cloak, changed into his home clothes, and walked out of the inner room. He saw a red-hot charcoal stove under the window. Warm flames danced on the stove, and a pot of clear tea on the table was emitting steam, and the fragrance of tea filled the air.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she sat down on the chair covered with warm bear skin. Yuzhu immediately brought her a cup of tea.
She reached out to take it, but her eyes were still looking at the snowflakes falling outside the window.
The snow was falling heavier and heavier, hurriedly and hurriedly, silently weaving a big white net, covering the houses, trees, and everything in the world.
Xie Wanyun stared at the falling snowflakes, sitting quietly as if in a trance. He didn't know how long he sat there until he was awakened by a muffled sound. He turned around and saw that it was Yuzhu who was so sleepy that he fell down.
Yuzhui woke up from the fall, rubbed her eyes, and said hurriedly: "Madam, please forgive me. I accidentally fell asleep."
Xie Wanyun felt a little sorry and said gently, "Go back to sleep."
"Madam, I know you are sad, but you still have to take care of yourself." Yu Zhui looked at the bloodshot in Xie Wanyun's eyes and felt sad.
"Okay, I understand." Xie Wanyun nodded.
Early that morning, Xie Wanyun went out as usual, but noticed something strange. Usually, her carriage would be followed by a crowd, sometimes blocking the road. Today, however, people avoided it as soon as they saw it. The Xie family shop, which had been bustling with customers recently, was now much quieter.
Could something have happened? How come she didn't hear anything?
Her carriage stopped at Huarong's door. The shop that used to be bustling with customers was now deserted.
The shopkeeper came out and said, "Greetings to the Madam."
As Xie Wanyun walked inside, he asked, "How's business these days?"
The shopkeeper looked ashamed and replied, "Madam, it's not very good. I don't know why, but a few days ago, the goods were in short supply, but in recent days, they have suddenly become less popular."
"Do you know what the reason is?" Xie Wanyun browsed the goods on the shelves. There was no problem! So the reason was outside.
"I don't know either. I just heard that it seemed to be related to Zheng Tong." Although the shopkeeper answered this way, his eyes flickered.
Zheng Tong? Could it be that he was unwilling to accept being defeated by Xie Wanyun and came back to take revenge on her?
"Okay. I understand. You should open your business as usual and welcome customers. Don't be affected by those rumors."
The shopkeeper nodded in agreement, and Xie Wanyun got up and went to the next shop. Walking on the street, she once again noticed something unusual: pedestrians avoided her.
She checked the time and saw it was almost lunchtime, so she told the coachman to go to Chenlou. After all, there was more news in the restaurant and it spread the fastest.
She didn't alarm the shopkeeper. She sensed from Huarong's reaction that there might be something hidden. Asking directly wouldn't reveal anything.
