This is a high small hill, from here you can see more than half of Qingshui Village. This place is usually lush and verdant, but now it’s covered in snow, all white.
A gust of wind blew, carrying snowflakes, and set a white figure in motion.
Li Qingmu stood at the top of this hill, gazing into the distance, eyes deep and thoughtful.
"A Mu..." Long Yue slowly approached, looking at the thin layer of snow accumulated on his body with a bit of heartache, "Let’s find a place to take shelter! Your body isn’t well enough to bear the cold..."
"I’m sorry, Yue’er, I was impulsive..."
Li Qingmu slowly turned around, a look of guilt in his eyes.
"I shouldn’t have... given them everything, now we..." Dressed in plain clothes, haha, we have nowhere to go!
Li Qingmu felt it was fine for him to have no place to stay, but felt truly guilty for putting his young wife through hardship.
"Pfft!" Long Yue let out a light laugh, her eyes curving as she looked at him, "If you weren’t impulsive, I’d worry I married a thousand-year-old turtle or a ten-thousand-year-old tortoise! Which young person isn’t full of youthful vigor, a bit impulsive? I don’t bla you!"
Long Yue’s open-mindedness made Li Qingmu feel even worse, "Wife, I really was wrong..."
He looked aggrieved, making Long Yue feel her heart lting as she softly smiled, "It’s okay, I still have so broken silver with , we can go to town and rent a house, won’t that do?"
In those months, eating and using things from the master, the Young Prince would often send things for them to wear and use, so Long Yue didn’t spend much silver and still had six taels remaining.
These silver pieces could rent a small room for two in town, then buying so fabric to make embroidery would ensure they could live comfortably.
Li Qingmu didn’t speak, looking resentful, feeling ashad that he had to be supported by his wife. Long Yue, seeing his deeply resentful expression, found the man even more interesting. Was this adorable side of him real?
While thinking, the man beside her sighed and said with a somber tone, "But maybe it’s for the best; now that I have no ties with them, I can finally do sothing..."
"Do what?"
Long Yue perked up her ears, realizing that a mont ago, this man seed like a wronged little bunny, but now she felt a sharp aura of murder emanating from him!
"Yue’er, if... I wanted to act against your Pang Family, what would you do?"
The man suddenly turned around slowly, his eyes no longer confused but deep, and Long Yue almost felt her soul being drawn in.
She imdiately said, "I would help you take them down together!"
This response ca from her subconscious, and upon saying it, she noticed the darkness in his eyes fading, replaced by teasing, "Are you serious, Yue’er?"
"Of course, my sister first hard , then wanted to harm you. I will not let her off lightly! And my father... people say that after getting a stepmother, you get a stepfather, but my mother was still alive, and before a stepmother entered, my father already beca a stepfather!"
Speaking of this, Long Yue’s eyes filled with anger, recalling how her mother was angered to death by that faithless man and a little bitch joint effort, she couldn’t wait to charge into the Pang Mansion and chop those vile people into pieces!
Li Qingmu sharply felt the anger in his young wife’s heart, pulling her into his embrace, "Yue’er, trust , I will not let you down!"
Long Yue leaned on his shoulder, nodding lightly, "I trust you!"
"Li Qingmu? Lady Yue? Is that you?"
A sudden voice from behind interrupted their intimate mont. Long Yue quickly turned around and saw that it was Chai Tieniu.
Being caught in an embrace with her husband by soone made her cheeks flush, and she quickly distanced herself from Li Qingmu, awkwardly saying, "Yeah, Brother Chai, what brings you here?"
"I ca to gather firewood. The firewood up here is dry and good for starting fires... Hey, you both really ca back! I just heard people at the village entrance shouting that the Evil Woman Li is back, uh..."
Chai Tieniu slipped up, then looked awkward.
Long Yue didn’t mind the nickna, as this lifeti she was aiming to embrace the "evil woman," so she laughed and said, "We just got back!"
"Hehe, it’s good you just got back. But why are you standing here in this cold winter? It’s so cold. Aren’t you going back?"
Standing on the hilltop with the cold wind blowing, is it being too free or is one’s brain waterlogged?
Chai Tieniu probably thought this, so his gaze at them was rather odd.
Long Yue and Li Qingmu fell silent for a mont, and though Chai Tieniu was honest, he was not foolish. Seeing their expressions, he surmised sothing was wrong at ho and said, "Did sothing happen at ho?"
"We were kicked out by our family." Long Yue pouted, humming, "Left with nothing!"
"What?" Chai Tieniu was bewildered, then looked at them with an even more peculiar expression. What on earth happened?
The Li family always took pride in Li Qingmu, boasting to everyone about having a scholar who would surely beco an official. Yet now they had kicked the couple out?
Although extrely curious, he was ultimately a sincere person and hurriedly asked, "So where will you two stay tonight?"
"We don’t know yet, planning to find an inn in town for the night."
"In this cold winter, you’re planning to find an inn in town? It takes a lot of ti to get there, and the road is tough. Why don’t you stay at my place for a few days? Qiao’er misses you too!"
Chai Tieniu was earnest, and Long Yue, not being pretentious, smiled and said, "Alright!"
Beside her, Li Qingmu coughed lightly, likely sowhat reluctant, but he couldn’t bear for his young wife to suffer, so he led the way.
Long Yue trailed behind him, muttering softly, "What was with your expression just now? Seed like you didn’t want to go?"
"Hmm!"
"Why?"
"Seeing you get close to another man makes uncomfortable."
Long Yue, "..." Is this man for real? Who did I get close to? Long Yue felt like she had blood boiling inside her, wanting to splash it on his face.
Upon arriving at the Zhang Family, Qiao’er saw them and happily ca out to greet them, pulling Long Yue along for a chat.
"Sister Yue’er, you’ve been gone for over three months, Qiao’er missed you to death. Oh, have you eaten yet? I’ll go make sothing..."
Qiao’er was arranging to host them when Chai Tieniu said, "Qiao’er, go tidy up the room in the East. A Mu and Lady Yue will stay for a few days."
"Oh... ah?" Chai Qiao’er was puzzled, instinctively asking, "Aren’t they staying at their house?"
"Our parents kicked us out; we can’t stay there anymore!"
"How could that be? Sister Yue, please tell what happened?"
"Well, it’s like this..."
On Long Yue’s side, she began to tell Qiao’er about the Li family. anwhile, at the village entrance of Qingshui Village, a carriage slowly ca to a stop.
"Young master, we have arrived at Qingshui Village. The road is blanketed in snow, making it hard to drive. What do you say..."
"I’ll get off and walk from here!"
Xiang Yin glanced at the snow-covered paths and woods, shook his head helplessly, took the wrapped package from the servant, and got off to walk ahead.
