As it was getting dark, Yu Miaoyi took Cao Zixuan back home, and Old Lady Xu led the children to see the two distinguished guests off.
"Pretty auntie, you must come to my house to play often in the future."

"And Zixuan, let's have a snowball fight next time you come."
Even after everyone had boarded the carriage, Fu Man'er was still shouting. It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned the snowball fight, because as soon as she did, Cao Zixuan's face immediately darkened.
He turned his head away in a huff, only to find himself facing Lu Sheng's face. His previously dark expression turned to embarrassment. His eyes flickered several times before he turned his head away again, pretending to be casual.
Yu Miaoyi was talking to someone outside while lifting the curtain, and didn't notice Cao Zixuan's awkward reaction.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the driver cracked his whip, and the horse galloped off towards the village entrance.
"Zixuan, did you have fun today?" Yu Miaoyi touched her son's hand; thankfully, it was warm.
"What's so fun about it? It's just a bunch of country kids running wild." Cao Zixuan said with disdain, but he still couldn't help but lift the carriage curtain.
While we were in the courtyard, they told us that after the snow, the village was covered in a blanket of white, with mountain peaks stretching endlessly, which was quite a beautiful sight.
The carriage wasn't moving very fast, but as the snow-covered landscape receded into the distance, Cao Zixuan had to admit they were right.
Just thinking about her son having a snowball fight tells Yu Miaoyi that he actually had a lot of fun, but he's been too well protected. And since her son is always so concerned about his image, she just doesn't bother to expose him.

The carriage swayed and bumped its way to East Street, a quiet street inhabited by wealthy families, with the Cao family's residence being the most prominent.
When Yu Miaoyi returned with her son, her husband Cao Zhengfeng was already waiting at home. "You're back." Hearing the voices of the mother and son, Cao Zhengfeng put down the book he was holding and turned around.
He had a long scar on his face, which had faded considerably over the years and was no longer as frightening as it once was.
He thought he was already quite frightening, but when he saw his son whom he hadn't seen for a day, he felt even more frightened.
"Is this...is this my son?" Cao Zhengfeng glanced at the child Yu Miaoyi was holding, somewhat unable to believe his eyes.
Cao Zixuan snorted at his father, shook off Yu Miaoyi's hand, and ran towards the backyard. "Quick, take the young master to wash up," Yu Miaoyi ordered, barely suppressing a laugh.
The servants who were waiting nearby immediately followed, and Yu Miaoyi finally no longer had to hold back her laughter.
She was the kind of gentle and refined lady from a respectable family. Her smiles were always perfectly natural and flawless. But this time, she smiled quite heartily, and Cao Zhengfeng almost couldn't take his eyes off her.
"Miaoyi, what's wrong with Zixuan? Didn't you go to the Xu family today?"
How come after going out for a while, his son seems like he's come back from farming? That's right, his arrogant son has suddenly become like a normal person.

Forgive Cao Zhengfeng for not being able to find the right words to describe it for a moment, but he felt that his son suddenly became real, just like other people's children.
The biggest reason for this is probably the gray-brown short-sleeved shirt and trousers he was wearing.
"Your son was so scared he peed his pants." Thinking of this, Yu Miaoyi couldn't help but laugh. It was the first time she had ever seen her son so out of control.
After the snowball fight, the children were too tired to move and sat down on the ground. Cao Zixuan was not used to it and wanted to go back inside to rest for a while.
Somehow, the goose that Fu Man'er was raising escaped from its nest. It's unclear whether Fu Man'er secretly fed it alcohol.
The goose stretched out its neck and charged straight at Cao Zixuan. Cao Zixuan had never seen a goose before, but that didn't stop him from being afraid.
The fear is even greater when faced with something unknown, like a goose about to pounce.
He was so stunned he couldn't move, and was so scared he wet his pants. It was Lu Sheng who rushed over and grabbed the goose by the long neck.
Cao Zixuan then felt like he had come back to life, but what he wanted to die even more was yet to come. There was heat rising between his legs, which Lu Sheng had not noticed at first.
Fu Man'er ran over and hugged her precious goose, "Oh, Zixuan, why do you have a fever?"

Only when boiling water or making soup will steam appear.
Lu Sheng looked over. She was a bit older than Fu Man'er and knew more, so she quickly understood what was going on. As a result, she looked at Cao Zixuan with even more helplessness.
Would a rich family's young master still wet his pants at this age? Fu Man'er wouldn't do that.
Being stared at by two young girls like that, Cao Zixuan felt more ashamed than he had ever been in his life. He wanted nothing more than to bury his face in the snow.
Never mind, I've already embarrassed myself enough, so I don't care about losing face for a little while longer.
So he opened his mouth and started crying loudly, calling for his mother as he cried. Lu Sheng and Fu Man'er both looked at him with disgust.
The clothes he was wearing were obviously no longer suitable, so they found a new set of clothes for him at the Xu family's house. Old Mrs. Xu knew they were particular about these things, so she specially found a new set for him.
Cao Zhengfeng was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and soon after, his loud laughter rang out in the Cao family courtyard.
Even Cao Zixuan in the backyard heard it. He was so ashamed that he covered his head with the blanket, trying not to hear it.
