Song Wanning was wearing a snow-white coat, and her cheeks were red in the winter, reflecting a very beautiful color like red apricots.
Song Wanning bent down and blinked as she looked at the little beggar half lying on the ground. The little beggar was covered in dust and hiding in the alley to avoid the snow. He looked much older than Song Wanning.
Song Jing of the General's Mansion was a military officer, and Song Wanning had been influenced by him, so she was very brave and was not afraid of such a scene. Now that she saw that there was no one around, she moved closer to the little beggar.
Song Wanning took small steps forward. The snow was thick on the ground, and it was freezing outside. The little beggar wasn't wearing thick clothes. Song Wanning rubbed her hands, looked at the little beggar on the ground, and said, "Whose young man is lying here? Isn't he going to freeze to death if he keeps lying like this?"
As soon as Song Wanning spoke, the person lying on the ground opened his eyes at an extremely fast speed, and looked at Song Wanning with the eyes of a fierce wolf.
Song Wanning was startled by the little beggar's sudden gaze. She took two steps back and quickly looked at the little beggar to explain, "I didn't mean to hurt you. It's so cold now, why are you lying here instead of going home?"
The little beggar didn't say anything, but Song Wanning saw him raise his arm, and there were fine scars underneath, which shocked Song Wanning.
The little beggar's black eyes stared at Song Wanning, but after a while they slowly closed.
Seeing the weak appearance of the little beggar, Song Wanning thought he was hungry. However, Song Wanning was now alone and had no way to deal with the little beggar, so she turned around and went into the Pei Mansion to ask for help.
Pei Xuanzhi from the Pei Mansion was now sitting in front of a chair with hot fruits on the table.
Seeing her son waiting like this, Madam Pei whispered, "Xuanzhi, Sister Ning probably won't come. It's snowing so heavily today, and the roads are slippery when it's dark."
Pei Xuanzhi coughed softly, swung his short legs on the chair, and muttered, "I'm not waiting for her."
Pei Xuanzhi's words actually made Madam Pei laugh, and she responded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, you didn't wait for Sister Ning anymore."
Pei Xuanzhi said this, but he would raise his head and look towards the door from time to time. The wind was strong today, and he didn't know whether Song Wanning from the next yard would come.
Madam Pei noticed the wind blowing in gusts, and she looked at the maid beside her and whispered, "Put a cloak on Zhi'er. The wind is so strong now, don't let him get frozen."
The maid turned around to get the cloak, while Pei Xuanzhi sat staring at the door without blinking.
Mrs. Pei looked at her son's mad appearance and laughed, "Brother Zhi, since you like Sister Ning so much, would you like to marry her in the future?"
After hearing what Madam Pei said, Pei Xuanzhi actually started to think seriously. After a while, he said in a low voice, "She ate so many of my fruits, so she has to compensate me, right?"
Mrs. Pei knew that Pei Xuanzhi liked Wan Ning very much. Seeing Pei Xuanzhi like this, she just thought it was adorable. She whispered, "If you wait a little longer, I think Sister Ning will be here soon."
Pei Xuanzhi didn't argue now. His round face rested on the table, and he poked the fruit with boredom. If Song Wanning didn't come soon, the fruit would be cold.
Just as Pei Xuanzhi was thinking about it, Song Wanning suddenly appeared at the gate of the Pei family.
She ran in quickly, wearing a snow-white cloak embroidered with plum blossoms. Her long black hair was braided and swung in front of her chest. As she ran, it swayed, forming beautiful arcs.
Pei Xuanzhi's eyes lit up instantly. He stood up from his chair and stood in front of the table in a pretentious manner. He looked at Song Wanning and said, "Why are you here again? I just bought some fruit and haven't even eaten a single bite yet."
Song Wanning bent down and saw the hot fruits on Pei Xuanzhi's table. She was immediately happy. "Brother Zhi, just consider it as something I owe you. I'll take these fruits first."
Without saying a word, Song Wanning reached out, picked up the fruit from the plate and ran out.
Seeing Song Wanning like this, Pei Xuanzhi immediately chased after her and shouted at her, "Where are you taking my fruit?"
Song Wanning took the fruit and ran back to the hidden alley. Sure enough, the little beggar was still hiding from the snow in the alley.
Song Wanning walked over slowly, placed the fruit in her hand not far from the little beggar, and said, "These are just bought, they are still hot, you can eat them."
Pei Xuanzhi was immediately displeased when he saw Song Wanning give the fruit she bought to the little beggar, "Sister Ning, I spent a lot of money to buy it, why did you give it to a beggar?"
"Look how pitiful he is. I'll compensate you for whatever you paid for him."
"You have to compensate me, and you have to compensate me as well for what you took from me before."
Song Wanning's face was white, clean, and round. Her eyes were rolling around, and she pouting, she argued, "You were the one who wanted to give me those things to eat before."
"I gave it to you to eat, but I didn't ask you to give it to others." Pei Xuanzhi said, glancing in the direction of the little beggar, and saw that the little beggar's black pupils were actually scared away a few steps.
Pei Xuanzhi swallowed his saliva and said to Song Wanning, "Wanning, let's go back..."
"Shall we go back and get someone to take this little beggar home?"
Pei Xuanzhi responded, but when he and Song Wanning brought their men back to the alley, there was no trace of human life in the alley.
"The person is missing." Song Wanning looked back at the nanny who followed her.
The nanny felt sorry for the two children standing in the snow and hurriedly said, "There are so many beggars on the streets of Shengjing now, how can we take care of them all? Little ancestors, it's freezing cold, please go back quickly and don't freeze to death."
"Yes, it's freezing cold, it's really pitiful." Song Wanning rubbed her hands and reluctantly followed the nanny back to the mansion.
The memories of her childhood gradually became clear in her mind, and Song Wanning suddenly woke up from her dream.
She remembered the little beggar, who indeed looked very similar to Yin Yichen.
But Yin Yichen grew up in a wealthy family, so how could he become a beggar? It doesn’t make sense.
Song Wanning lifted the curtain of the carriage and peeked out. It was already bright outside, and Putuo Mountain was right before her eyes. The peach blossoms on Putuo Mountain always bloomed in spring, covering the entire mountain.
Song Wanning turned around and said to Zhuque who was sleeping beside her, "Let's go, let's walk up the mountain."
Song Wanning and Zhuque walked up the mountain step by step. When they reached the dense forest, Song Wanning indeed saw Prime Minister Yin.
Yin Yichen was now wearing a white brocade robe embroidered with gold cloud patterns. He was holding a sky-blue oil-paper umbrella and standing in the rain of flower petals, looking quite independent and graceful.
Song Wanning was watching when she heard Yin Yichen walking towards her with a smile, "Wanning, you're here."
