"Here, these are for you." Yun Zhourong handed over Sun Xiaohua and Wu Dani's clothes as well.
"Miss, these clothes are too beautiful, we are not worthy to wear them." Although the two little girls' eyes were full of longing, they still shook their heads and refused.
Since following Miss, I've eaten so many delicious things I've never tasted before, and I've even been wearing such a warm down jacket. I'm already very content.
They had all heard how good the fabric of this dress was. How could they, as maids, afford to wear such a thing?
"This clothing is different. It's a New Year's blessing from the Snow Fairy, to protect you and help you grow up safely. You must accept it."
Yun Zhourong solemnly placed the clothes in the hands of the two little girls.
"Thank you, miss!"
Seeing this, the two little girls did not refuse again, but their eyes both welled up with tears.
"Alright, alright, you can't cry during the New Year. Go change your clothes quickly." Yun Zhourong patted their heads and walked out with the last set of clothes.
This was prepared for Lan Jianhe.
She was deeply moved, feeling that Ji Minxiu was very thoughtful, even preparing for her new master.
"Ruan Ruan is here?" Upon seeing Yun Zhourong, Lan Jianhe immediately opened the door with a smile.
After becoming an apprentice, his treatment improved significantly, and he now lives in a single room.
“Master, this is a New Year’s gift from Young Master Xue Ji.”
Yun Zhourong handed over the clothes and then asked, "Today is Lunar New Year's Eve for us Han Chinese. Would you like to celebrate the New Year with us?"
She wasn't sure if the Jiuli people celebrated the New Year the same way as the Han people, but her master was like a father to her, so she naturally had to invite him.
"Yes, today is Lunar New Year's Eve, which is indeed the Han Chinese New Year's Eve. No wonder I got new clothes."
Lan Jianhe nodded in realization and then said, "Our Jiuli tribe has its own calendar. The New Year is usually celebrated on the Hai, Mao, or Chou days of September, October, or November. However, experiencing the Han Chinese New Year's Eve is also a great experience."
"That's great! Please take a bath and change first. I'll come and call you when everything is ready over there," Yun Zhourong said happily.
“Okay, by the way, how is Young Master Ji doing? I haven’t seen him come over these days. I was thinking of giving him a follow-up check-up,” Lan Jianhe said again.
After all, the down jacket and snow boots he was wearing were given to him by Ji Minxiu. Since he had received care from someone else, he naturally had to take it to heart.
"Okay, I'll have him come over later," Yun Zhourong nodded.
"Ruanruan, who exactly is your friend? Why does he seem so elusive?" Lan Jianhe thought for a moment and couldn't help but ask.
"Actually, he is not human, but a snow demon."
In the end, Yun Zhourong used the same excuse he used to deal with the other members of the second wife's family.
The main reason was that her identity as a snow demon made things easier, and she was also unsure whether Lan Jianhe was trustworthy, so she didn't tell the truth.
"This...it's actually a snow demon..."
Lan Jianhe stared in shock, "The Snow Demon who single-handedly wiped out Tulong Village and delivered food to the people?"
“Yes.” Yun Zhourong nodded. “That’s why the Gu worm had so little effect on him.”
"So that's how it is. No wonder, no wonder. I was wondering why a normal person would have been on the verge of death long ago after being infected with the Stone Gu. How could the symptoms be so mild?"
Lan Jianhe nodded in realization, but still couldn't quite believe it. "There really are demons in this world. His pulse is almost indistinguishable from that of a normal person. He must be a powerful demon who has successfully transformed into human form!"
Seeing Lan Jianhe's self-justification, Yun Zhourong wanted to laugh, but she managed to hold it in.
He put on a serious face and said, "Yes, so you think he's elusive... because he really has the ability to disappear and reappear at any time. You'll see for yourself when the time comes."
"Then...then...then I'll go and prepare properly!"
As a respected witch doctor, Lan Jianhe has always been arrogant and has always thought that Ji Minxiu is just an ordinary junior.
Now that she knew he was actually a demon, she became unusually nervous.
"Okay, I'll be going now."
Yun Zhourong lowered her head, closed the door, and quickly ran back, afraid that she would burst out laughing halfway there.
Lan Jianhe's reaction was hilarious.
"call!"
Back in her room, she took a deep breath and began to wash up.
After getting dressed and combing her hair, Yun Zhourong looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but feel a little lost in thought.
She reached up and touched her face, murmuring, "Is...this really me?"
After glancing at the soot on the bottom of the pot on the table and then at her face in the mirror, Yun Zhourong finally stopped.
She... wanted to show the Snow Demon her true appearance.
Lord Snow Fairy, would you like her appearance?
I feel so nervous!
Dining room of the Ji family's old residence in Huaxia.
The family sat together for a meal, but the atmosphere was noticeably somber. No one spoke, and only the soft clatter of cutlery could be heard.
"Waaah..."
Suddenly, a soft sob was heard.
Everyone turned to look and saw Ji Siyu secretly wiping away tears.
"Xiaoyu, why are you crying during the New Year?" The Ji family head frowned unhappily.
“Dad, I miss Mom. In previous years, it was so lively when Mom was here on New Year’s Eve.” Ji Siyu said, then glared at Ji Minxiu.
"Oh dear, I must say, Third Cousin is really heartless. Your Aunt has always treated you well," Ji Weixing said sarcastically.
If it weren't for Ji Minxiu, he wouldn't have been removed from the list of succession candidates. Now he truly hates Ji Minxiu.
