Shen Yuan was still trapped in a deep nightmare, with hot tears constantly overflowing from the corners of her eyes. Pei Zhaoxue's heart felt like needles pricking her heart when she heard the painful murmurs.

He carefully reached out to wipe the moisture from the corners of her eyes, but the tears made his hands tremble.

"Yuan'er. It's okay. The child is still alive."

In their previous life, they were so in love that she was willing to bear children for him.

But he was so careless that he didn't even know when she and the child were poisoned.

She went there so late that she and her child almost died.

I don't know if what he said had an effect. The girl who was frowning at first stopped mumbling, and her eyebrows became much more relaxed.

Just now while she was muttering unconsciously, her little hand unconsciously grabbed the big hand that was wiping her tears.

Pei Zhaoxue's hands have distinct joints, are slender and beautiful, like a fine piece of art.

It felt like extremely warm jade in her hand. Shen Yuan held it and didn't let it go. Her fingertips inserted into his, almost intertwining with his.

The warm and sticky touch made Pei Zhaoxue startled, and then he turned from passive to active. His big hands completely wrapped her small hands, and he continued to comfort her softly: "Sleep well, I won't feel uncomfortable after taking medicine later."

As soon as the words fell, the girl on the bed became completely quiet. Her sleeping appearance was sweet and peaceful, unlike when she woke up.

Although his face is still the same, his temperament seems to have thorns, blocking people out like a hedgehog.

Looking at him with cold eyes, he said those harsh words without hesitation, both rational and hurtful.

Like him before?

Pei Zhaoxue was stunned, and her turbid thoughts became clearer as the sky gradually brightened outside the tent.

Yes, he used to have such a temper, but his expression was not as straightforward as Shen Yuan's.

Most of the time, he remained silent, saying less and doing more, thinking there was no need to waste too much breath.

Now it's his turn to feel it and understand what it feels like.

He didn't get a good rest either. His hand was held so firmly by Shen Yuan, and he took a nap after a while.

In the middle of the journey, Zhi Luo came back to add fuel to the fire, and saw the two of them rarely being so intimate, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

She was not a fool. She felt that Shen Yuan had been distant from Pei Zhaoxue recently, and even felt unhappy about it.

Correspondingly, the young prime minister who used to have a cold attitude seemed to have changed.

He is more down-to-earth than before, not only like a normal person, but also knows how to be jealous emotionally.

Just, it seems a little too late

Zhi Luo sighed softly and shook his head. After buying fresh charcoal and retreating, Mo Er also came over with the prepared medicine and woke up Pei Zhaoxue who was taking a nap.

"Give it to me. You can go down and tell the cook who brought you some light food. Yuan'er may be able to use it when she wakes up."

Mo Er took the order and went down. Pei Zhaoxue took a wooden spoon and blew out the cold decoction, handed it to Shen Yuan's mouth and carefully fed it.

When the soup reached the bottom, he replaced the wet grass cloth on her forehead, and there was a rare emotion called distress in his eyes.

In my memory, she seemed to rarely get sick, both before and after her temperament changed drastically.

It was rare to see her so fragile, so Pei Zhaoxue couldn't bear to close his eyes and kept staring at her face.

Until he couldn't hold it any longer, he lay down next to her hand and narrowed his eyes.

The wind and snow that stopped outside started again near noon.

Shen Yuan was woken up by a loud noise. When she woke up, her head was still dizzy and she felt like vomiting. "What's the matter with asking you for more cotton-padded clothes? It's so cold in this snowy day, how can a set of cotton-padded clothes be enough? If such a big shop can't even provide a few sets of cotton-padded clothes, why is it doing disaster relief?!"

"But this is the third time your family has asked for cotton-padded clothes. The amount of cotton-padded clothes is not enough to begin with. We can only guarantee that each household will receive one set. If you keep asking for it, others will follow your family's example and have not had time to receive the cotton-padded clothes." What should we do with the victims?”

Zhiluo was speechless and asked the guards to stop the fierce-looking woman and man.

The woman spat, pointed at Zhiluo's nose and yelled: "Fuck you, you are a business owner and you are so rich. Since you are here to provide disaster relief, how could you not bring a lot of cotton-padded clothes? Your emotions are frozen." I'm not a little girl like you. Why don't your back hurt when you stand and talk?"

"You are so well dressed, you also know how to prepare a few sets of clothes for yourself, right? I, my mother-in-law, and a few children were sleeping in the snow nest, and the cotton clothes got wet in a short time. In such a cold day, wearing wet clothes You don’t know how clothes feel, do you?”

As he spoke, he saw the dirty bucket beside him that he had not had time to deal with. He suddenly picked up the bucket and threw it at Zhiluo.

Zhi Luo had no idea that such a thing would happen, so she didn't react. She was quickly shocked to the point of being thrown to her heart. Dirty vegetable leaves hung on her head, and she was stunned.

"Zhi Luo!" Shen Yuan came out wearing a cloak, broke away from Pei Zhaoxue's hand and went to help her.

"Young Madam" Zhi Luo was soaked to the skin, shivering from the cold, feeling aggrieved and angry.

With red eyes, she looked at the couple who didn't think she was wrong and looked gloating, and told Shen Yuan the whole story.

In short, this couple has a big appetite. They asked for a set of cotton-padded clothes for one person in the family twice in a row on the pretext that they needed to change their cotton-padded clothes. Today this is the third time.

Seeing that Zhi Luo's teeth were chattering due to the cold, she asked her to go in and change clothes to warm herself up by the fire, leaving the rest to her.

Shen Yuan's fever has not completely subsided, and there is still some blush on both sides of her nose.

But her mental state seemed much better than yesterday. If you ignored the pale color of her lips, no one would think that she was sick.

"Do you want a third set of cotton-padded clothes?"

"Yes, I didn't mean to embarrass the young lady just now. I did it because I was too anxious." Seeing Shen Yuan's extraordinary demeanor, the woman guessed that her identity was not simple, and her attitude quickly changed 180 degrees.

Noticing this, Shen Yuan had a faint smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"So that's it. You two, go ahead and wait in the tent. I'll go get it myself."

Pei Zhaoxue followed her and felt heartbroken when she saw that her complexion had turned pale due to the cold wind.

"Yuan'er, you go back and rest first and let me handle it."

Based on his current understanding of Shen Yuan's temperament, she shouldn't have been so calm after Zhi Luo was treated like this.

His instinct told him that she should have other plans.

This was indeed the case. Shen Yuan's eyes were filled with coldness. His little hands hanging in his sleeves were clenched into fists out of anger and he ignored him.

She glanced at the couple who had already gone to the tent, and called some of the Shen family guards, asking each of them to carry two buckets of swill.

Seeing this, Pei Zhaoxue hesitated for a moment and did not stop her, but quickly followed her.

Inside the tent.

The couple were still talking happily.

"I know that people like them have the best reputation. If they make a fuss, they can get something. Then a large amount of money will be credited to the account. Once it is saved, we can use it to build a new house~"

"You still have more ideas. I didn't expect that this cotton coat could be sold to those rich people again. No, I have to make a request later and ask for one more set!"

Shen Yuan listened to everything and gave the guards who brought him a look, and the crowd poured in like water. (End of chapter)
