"Tsk, this is what happens when you meddle in other people's business!"
The feeling in the dream was extremely real. When Yu Jiao woke up, there was a wet spot on her pillow. She clearly remembered the grief and powerlessness that her senior brother felt in the dream as he lost blood all over his body, just like in her previous life.
Those onlookers who were indifferent and commenting as if it was none of their business could still demonstrate their nobility.
It was already bright outside the window, but snowflakes were still falling, and the entire courtyard was plunged into pure white.
If only human hearts could be this pure.
Yu Jiao hugged her knees and looked out the window with slightly red and swollen eyes. Maybe because she dreamed of her senior brother Fu Chuan, Yu Jiao felt a little cold in her heart.
Jianjia asked softly from outside, "Miss, have you woken up yet? Do you want me to come in and help you wash up?"
Yu Jiao hugged the quilt and said, "No, I don't need breakfast. I want to sleep for a while."
Outside the house, Jianjia heard her voice sounding a little gloomy, and asked with concern, "Miss, did you catch a cold yesterday? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well last night, so I want to take another nap."
After Yu Jiao finished speaking, Jianjia's voice was heard outside the room, "Then I will be on guard outside. If the young lady feels unwell, please call me."
Yu Jiao buried her head in the quilt and responded softly.
She missed her senior brother. Although her elder brother treated her very well and everyone in the Liu family treated her very well, no one was her senior brother. No one would ever be her senior brother again.
Yu Jiao's little face hidden in the quilt was unconsciously covered with tear marks.
Senior brother Fu Chuan was the greatest pain in her past and present life, and this pain would not fade away with the passage of time.
In Yu Jiao's heart, Fu Chuan always occupies a place. That place belongs to Fu Chuan alone, and she will not let anyone have the chance to touch it.
Yu Jiao lay quietly on the bed for a long time, with tears in her eyes. She was tormented by the dream last night and was not in a good mood. She slowly fell asleep.
When I woke up again, Liu Yaoyu pulled me out of bed.
"Third sister, the snow has stopped. Get up quickly and eat something. Let's go to the yard to make a snowman!" Liu Yaoyu's energetic and bright appearance swept away Yu Jiao's previous depressed mood.
She yawned, her voice soft as if she had just fallen asleep, "Second sister, stop shaking me. Can't I get up right now?"
Liu Yaoyu stared into her eyes, and the smile on her face froze. "Why are your eyes so swollen? Who made you cry?"
She glanced at the maids in the room. Yu Jiao was fine when she returned from her grandmother's house last night.
The maids all lowered their heads. Yu Jiao explained, "I had a dream last night and didn't sleep well."
Jianjia took a wet towel and applied it to Yu Jiao for a while. When the swelling of her eyelids subsided a little, Yu Jiao put on a fur-edged jacket. The maids brought in the food, and after she finished her meal, she was dragged to the yard by Liu Yaoyu.
"I got up late this morning. I asked the servants to clean up the snow in the yard. I checked several yards in the mansion, but the snow in your yard was the only one that hadn't been cleared yet." Liu Yaoyu squatted on the ground, stretched out his hand to knead the snow, and said happily.
Jianjia and the others probably didn't clean the yard because they were afraid of disturbing her sleep.
Yu Jiao also squatted down, grabbed a snowball and threw it at Liu Yaoyu.
Liu Yaoyu shouted with a smile and threw the snowball in her hand at Yu Jiao. The two of them fought back and forth like children who had not grown up.
Both of them were wearing warm clothes and squatting on the snow, like two round fat balls, having a lot of fun playing in the snow.
A figure trotted into the yard, followed by the maid Cuizhu.
Brother Tao stood in front of Yu Jiao and said excitedly, "Third sister, can I play with you?"
Liu Yaoyu glanced at Tao Ge'er and asked Cuizhu, "Why did you bring him out? The ground outside is slippery everywhere. If you are careless and something happens, be careful or my mother will punish you!"
Cuizhu shrank back, and Tao glared at Liu Yaoyu with his round eyes, shaking Yu Jiao's hand and acting coquettishly, "Third sister, play with me."
Yu Jiao smiled and said, "Okay!" Then she threw the snowball in her hand at Tao Ge'er.
Tao Ge'er grabbed the snow and fought back, chasing Yu Jiao around the yard.
Seeing Liu Yaoyu standing aside, Yu Jiao smiled and hid behind her, "Second sister, help me!"
The snowball thrown by Tao Ge'er hit Liu Yaoyu's face right, covering her face with snow. Tao Ge'er stood there with a look of being in trouble.
Liu Yaoyu wiped the snow off her face, "Good on you, you dare to throw me!" She squatted down and grabbed two snowballs, shouting "Watch this" and threw them at Tao Ge'er and Yu Jiao with one hand each, "And you, third sister, you actually used me as a shield!"
A fight between the three began, and the yard was bustling with activity. When they were tired of playing, the three stopped and squatted on the ground to make a snowman. Tao Geer took out a handful of delicious food from his purse, including almonds, walnuts, and dried fruits.
He picked up two walnuts to make eyes for the snowman, and Yu Jiao asked Jianjia to go to the small kitchen to get a carrot to make the snowman's nose.
Their fingers were frozen red from playing, and the three of them finally lifted the curtain and went into the warm house.
Liu Yaoyu and Tao Ge'er both stayed in Yu Jiao's room and did not leave. The eldest brother had not returned home yet, but he asked someone to send a rabbit fur cloak to Yu Jiao and Liu Yaoyu respectively. Even though he was outside, he did not forget to care about his two younger sisters.
Madam Liu didn't send anyone over the whole day, probably because she didn't know that Yu Jiao had left the house yesterday.
Tao Ge'er was used to taking a nap. After playing with Yu Jiao for a while, he was taken back to the East Garden by the maid.
Yu Jiao was writing about spices that she hadn't finished writing yesterday on the table. Liu Yaoyu was lying on the couch and said to her, "You are just like your elder brother. You are both willing to be patient and coax Brother Tao. He is very annoying. I don't want to play with him."
Yu Jiao chuckled, "Weren't we having fun together just now?"
"You just want to play with him." Liu Yaoyu peeled an orange, brought the peel to her nose and sniffed it, then continued, "You haven't been back home for long, you don't know how much mother favors Tao Ge'er. Although Wei Ma is an old lady that mother brought with her as a dowry, she doesn't dote on him that way. You must think that Tao Ge'er is mother's child."
