The servant who helped Wen Baixu up looked at the body lying in the snow, then turned back to look at little Wen Baixu and shook his head. He didn't know whether to say it or not. The doubt in his eyes was almost overflowing, just like his fear, which had not dissipated in the past few days.

Wen Baixu stared at the servant in a daze, then slowly turned his head to look at the corpse. Just as they had said, the corpse was lying motionless in the snow, with a thin layer of snow covering it.

Wen Baixu was slightly stunned, as if there was a moment of disbelief and a moment of surprise, which appeared in his mind.

"This... did you see it? Mianmian"

Wen Baixu stood up straight without making any noise, and silently asked the system in his mind:

[Uh...I didn't see it]

"what?"

Wen Baixu immediately showed an expression of disbelief and continued to reply to the system

"Aren't you a high-tech system? How could you not see it? She just..." As he spoke, his mind kept recalling the scene he had just seen.

After a brainstorm, Wen Baixu finally stopped and asked again

"So...you"

[I am sure, host, although Mianmian is not a very firm materialist system, but... my eyes have won the brightest and best vision awards, you'd better not doubt me]

"But....."

Wen Baixu was about to refute when he heard a familiar voice.

"Bai Xu....where are you?"

It was Qiu Yu's voice. Wen Baixu's eyes lit up, and he quickly pulled his hand back and ran towards the place where the voice came from, shouting as he ran.

"Sister, I'm here"

Having said that, he left the place without paying attention to the shouts from the people behind him.

At this moment, in a place where no one could see, the body that was originally lying straight, moved its head slightly, and the position where it tilted was exactly the direction Wen Baixu left...

"Sister, I'm here"

As he was speaking, Wen Baixu stumbled and almost fell when he ran in front of Qiuyu. Fortunately, Qiuyu was quick and supported him.

"Slow down, no one is rushing you"

Qiu Yu was nervous for a moment, and the sound of anger and blame was endless.

Wen Baixu, who was being supported, looked up at the person in front of him with an embarrassed look on his face, smiled awkwardly, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a silver bell-like laughter from the side.

"Ningzhi..."

A stern voice sounded, and Wen Baixu was helped to stand up. When he looked up, he saw a maid standing next to Qiuyu, covering her mouth and slowly retreating to a woman dressed in elegant clothes, saying as she retreated.

"Madam, the young gentleman has been found"

After saying this, he lowered his head and stepped behind the woman.

Qiu Yu stepped aside and greeted him with her head down, while Wen Baixu stood there in a daze, looking at the golden silk Shu brocade cape in front of him, with soft red thick boots on his feet, and a group of maids and old women around him.

The woman waved her hand gently, signaling the others to stay where they were, and she walked forward lightly, standing in front of Wen Baixu, suddenly stretched out the handkerchief in her hand, and gently wiped his face.

Wen Baixu was startled and hurriedly took a step back, as if trying to hide.

But the woman in front of him opened her red lips

"Young sir, don't panic. I think you are about the same age as our Yue'er. When I saw you, I was reminded of Yue'er many years ago. What a pity..."

As she spoke, the woman's voice was filled with sadness. She slowly withdrew her hand and touched Wen Baixu's head with her other hand, seeming to be very sad.

Wen Baixu didn't know what to say for a moment. He looked stiffly at the woman in front of him who seemed to be about to cry.

The woman seemed to feel his gaze, gently wiped away her tears, and said softly

"I'm sorry if I scared you. There have been many accidents at home recently, and I also..."

"Madam...I..."

"Bai Xu, Madam is tired, let her go back and rest."

Qiu Yu, who was standing by, quickly stepped forward and grabbed Wen Baixu's arm, shook her head, and then looked at the woman.

"Madam, I am sorry for disturbing you today. Please forgive me."

As he spoke, he pulled Wen Baixu down and lowered his head.

The woman didn't say anything more when she saw this. She just reminded them to be careful, then waved her hand and let them go.

Seeing this, Qiu Yu immediately pulled Wen Baixu's arm, took a few steps back, and walked towards the backyard. Wen Baixu, who was being pulled, walked a few steps and looked back. At the moment he turned his head, his eyes met the woman's again.

"Madam, his hand..."

After Wen Baixu and Qiuyu left, Ningzhi walked up to the woman with a worried look on her face and said

The woman said nothing, but shook her head. After she saw them disappear around the corner of the corridor, she murmured:

"Whether it is a blessing or a curse, you can't avoid it, just let it be"

As she spoke, she threw the embroidered handkerchief in her hand to Ningzhi, gathered her cloak, and walked towards the maids and servants under the eaves...

The weather was gloomy. After they walked back to the yard, the weather gradually changed and it seemed like it was going to snow.

“She must be a good person”

The voice of speaking sounded silently from the moment I stepped into the yard.

Qiu Yu was stunned, and looked at Wen Baixu who was bowing his head beside her. She seemed to have thought of something. She reached out and touched Wen Baixu's head, and asked softly:

"Bai Xu, don't just look at the surface when judging people. There are many people who are hypocritical."

"But I always have a feeling that even though she might not be a good person, she must be very tired."

"why"

Qiu Yu looked at him puzzledly.

"The fatigue in her brows could not be concealed, and she... loved her son and her family very much... She couldn't fake that either."

Qiu Yu nodded and pinched his cheek. "I didn't realize that you have learned how to read faces in just a few days."

Wen Baixu was immersed in his own sadness, but when she suddenly pinched him, his sad mood instantly disappeared.

He rubbed his face and looked at the smiling Qiu Yu angrily, "What are you doing? It hurts."

"Does it hurt? I thought you only cared about sympathizing with others and didn't care about yourself."

He looked at him with amusement, pulled his clothes, flicked his head, and pointed his finger.

"Sister knows that Bai Xu has a kind heart. We can be kind, but we have to do it within our capabilities." Then she looked outside the courtyard and whispered, "Once you enter the imperial city, it's like entering a deep sea, let alone such a royal relative. Even if it's her, you shouldn't focus your eyes and sympathy on others. You should pay more attention to yourself."

"But... Is my sister also someone else?"

Wen Baixu looked at her in confusion.

Qiu Yu was silent for a while after hearing this, then nodded, "Yes, before you can protect yourself, you shouldn't believe and trust everything I say, okay?"

Wen Baixu didn't say anything, but just looked at the serious-looking man in front of him quietly, and shook his head slowly after a moment.

"Sister, apart from you, there is no one I can trust in this world."

"But..." Qiuyu was about to refute, but she saw Wen Baixu looking at her firmly, and then she could only nod helplessly and took his hand back to the house.

The sky gradually darkened, and the lights in the house gradually lit up. After seeing that scene today, Wen Baixu did not go to the front hall to eat, but stayed in the house to rest.

He fiddled with the dark gold bracelet on the table that he had washed with water. The pattern on the bracelet was no longer visible, but he could vaguely see that it was in the shape of a phoenix.

Wen Baixu propped up his head and looked at the bracelet, thinking: How did this bracelet end up under my feet?

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining an important item: a dragon and phoenix bracelet with a story]

Wen Baixu tapped the tabletop in confusion, pinched a corner of the bracelet with both hands, looked at it under the light, then put it down and asked the system

"Story? Dragon and Phoenix bracelet? Props? Can they be exchanged?"

[Yes. But are you sure? ]

"Why not?" he asked hurriedly, resting his chin on his back.

"Why don't you regret it? You said it was a prop, and you also said that the protagonist or something related to the plot can't be taken or snatched. It's all right. But this one just rolled to my feet by itself, and I didn't take it nor snatch it..."

He proudly pointed at the bracelet in front of him.

[OK, host, this system never goes back on its word and deceives you. I am just afraid that you will go back on your word.]

"That's good." As he spoke, the bracelet in front of him disappeared, and the system's voice replaced it.

[Host, please choose whether to redeem or open the dog food turntable. Countdown 5 seconds]

"The risk and reward of the turntable are proportional, but..."

【3】

"It's not worthwhile to exchange it."

【2】

【1】

"I choose the dog food turntable." Wen Baixu knocked on the table firmly to confirm.

[OK, loading the turntable now, please wait]

"Okay, spin the wheel, and double the prize even if it's just this once." Wen Baixu sat on the stool and rubbed his hands nervously.

Suddenly, a large round disc similar to a supermarket lottery wheel appeared in front of Wen Baixu. Wen Baixu stood up and walked forward. Just as he stretched out his hand to touch it, he heard a voice coming from his head.

[Host, wait a minute, I haven't explained the rules yet, or you'll turn your back on me.]

"Ah? I don't have that. Be careful or I'll sue you for defamation."

Wen Baixu looked at the person in front of him with a proud look on his face.

The system did not refute him much, silently despised him in its heart, and began to explain the rules.

[The dog food wheel, in a euphemistic way, is about dog food rewards. There are additions, subtractions, multiplications and divisions, so you may make a lot of money or you may not make a penny of dog food, and you may even lose a few. Think carefully.]

"I know, but I've always had good luck. Risks and opportunities coexist."

Let’s get started.

As Wen Baixu spoke, a blender-like object appeared in front of him, with small balls of the same and different colors rolling inside.

Wen Baixu asked in confusion: "What is this for?"

[Host, this is a warm-up exercise before the lottery. You can only start the game if you draw a ball of the same color and throw it into the middle hole of the big turntable.]

"What the hell? What if I never win?"

[That just means you have bad luck, who can you blame?]

"You..." Wen Baixu was speechless for a moment. After a moment, he walked forward and shook the handle of the wooden box. There was a dong dong dong sound, and several small balls fell out from the passage.

Wen Baixu looked down nervously, and heard an explosion in the room.

"Yeah, I just say I have good luck"

At this moment, two pink balls appeared in front of Wen Baixu who was jumping wildly.

The system then removed the wooden box and reminded [Host, please pick up the ball and throw it in]

Wen Baixu slowly calmed down at this time, picked up the two small balls and put them into the big turntable. The turntable moved in response, and the system prompted again, "Host, please confirm and say stop."

Wen Baixu nodded, looked at the rapidly spinning turntable, and silently counted a few numbers in his mind: 3, 2, 1

"stop"

A loud voice sounded, and Wen Baixu's eyes were fixed on the slowly pausing disc, and he suddenly asked in confusion: "What does this mean?"

The pointer in the center of the disk points to the center of the two pieces. The left side of the pointer is for multiplication and the other side is for division.

"What is this? Between multiplication and division?" Wen Baixu asked in confusion.

[Uh~] The system was silent for a while, then said [Host, this...]

"I don't accept division, this is obviously multiplication, don't give me that," he said angrily.

[Host, I also... Let's just forget about it this time, or...]

“No, you have to give me a ride.”

As he was about to shake it again, the system's voice suddenly changed.

【Host beware】

But it was too late. At this moment, there was a 'sizzling' sound of electric shock, and Wen Baixu, who was about to touch the turntable, collapsed to the ground, his eyes went dark, and he fainted.

Before he passed out, the only thing he was thinking about was to dismantle this dog system and burn it.

Before he completely fainted, a faint old voice sounded.

"My son, my son..."
