Before she could catch her breath, a thick fox fur cloak was suddenly covered over her body.

I guess the cloak had just been taken off his body, because it was still emitting body temperature and mixed with some masculine scent.

Xia Xiaorou was very familiar with this aura.

"Are you trying to kill yourself by jumping into the water to save someone in the middle of winter?" Yan Heng grabbed another dry towel and threw it fiercely into Xia Xiaorou's arms, motioning her to wipe the water off her face.

The woman in front of him was already thin and frail, and after being soaked in ice water, her face turned pale and bloodless.

The way Yan Heng looked at her, ice knives almost burst out from his eyes.

Xia Xiaorou's teeth were chattering from the cold. She just glanced at him indifferently, covered Song Yuan with her cloak, and grabbed the towel to wipe the water stains on Song Yuan's face as he cried non-stop.

Yan Heng, who had a mountain of money, was busy making charcoal fire on a freezing day.

He installed heaters in the secret compartment at the bottom of the carriage and in the cracks of the walls.

It was warm as spring in the car.

Xia Xiaorou gradually stopped trembling, and said to Yan Heng, who had a frosty face, "Stop the carriage. I have to go to Doctor Chen's house to get Brother Yanbo's medicine."

"Zhu Yun, go to Doctor Chen's house and get Madam Xia's medicine." Yan Heng glanced outside coldly.

"Yes, Langjun."

The carriage stopped and Zhuyun left.

Xia Xiaorou pursed her lips and nodded to Yan Heng, "Thank you very much."

Yan Heng's eyes moved from her face to Song Yuan's face, and she asked coldly, "Xia Xiaorou, do you care about this child?"

Xia Xiaorou discovered that Yan Heng's face was filled with anger at this moment, and talking to him more would only make him more angry.

She simply kept silent, only nodded slightly, and then asked Song Yuan, "Someone told you that you can walk on the ice, so you walked on it? Is ice so interesting? There is no place to play, so why go there to play? Look, the ice broke and fell into the water, right? Fortunately, the water is not deep, otherwise..." She frowned, "otherwise you would not survive."

Song Yuan sobbed, "I didn't go there to play, I went to pick plum blossoms. The branches of the plum tree stretched out to the surface of the water, and the branches were thin, so I didn't dare to climb. Tianbao said that I could walk onto the ice to pick flowers, so I went. Woo woo woo, I won't go next time, Third Aunt."

Yan Heng glanced at Song Yuan and snorted coldly, "Stupid."

"It's winter, where are the flowers for you to pick? Have you been cheated by Tianbao?" Xia Xiaorou looked at Song Yuan, so angry that she didn't know what to say.

"Yes, isn't this it?" Song Yuan cried, spreading out his clenched palms and holding them in front of Xia Xiaorou's eyes. "Third Aunt's shoes were embroidered with plum blossoms. I thought that Third Aunt must like plum blossoms the most, so I wanted to pick a few flowers for her. But... wuwuwuwu, they were obviously beautiful flowers, but I crushed them all."

Xia Xiaorou looked down at her shoes and suddenly realized.

She was a widow and could not wear brightly colored clothes, let alone have ostentatious patterns such as flowers and birds embroidered on her clothes.

If she violated the rules, Song Liu would see it and pull off her clothes.

She had no choice but to embroider inconspicuous plum blossoms on her black shoes with blue thread.

But this was discovered by Song Yuan, who kept it in mind and even went to pick flowers for her.

Xia Xiaorou was very shocked.

"Don't pick them next time. Third Aunt is an adult and can pick flowers by herself. If Yuan'er has an accident, Third Aunt will be sad." After the misunderstanding was revealed, Xia Xiaorou felt even more distressed for this child who died young in his previous life.

"Well, Yuan'er has made note of it."

As Yan Heng listened to Song Yuan's explanation, the anger in her eyes gradually dissipated.

He looked at Xia Xiaorou, "Do you like plum blossoms?"

"I can't say whether I like it or not." Xia Xiaorou didn't look up at him. She was busy undressing Song Yuan and wiping the water stains on his body. She answered indifferently.

Her connection with plum blossoms began when she was eight years old.

She accidentally broke two bowls and was beaten by her stepmother so badly that she ran away.

Later, there was a heavy rain and she found a cave to take shelter from the rain.

But in that cave, there was a young man in a cloak standing.

The young man gave the cave to her and stood outside the cave with his horse all night. When she woke up in the morning, she found that she had an extra cloak on her body.

There was also a bunch of plum blossoms next to the campfire at the entrance of the cave.

For the first time, she discovered that the small and inconspicuous plum blossoms were actually enchanting and gorgeous.

"Master, the medicine is here." Zhu Yun's voice said outside the carriage.

Yan Heng lifted the curtain and Zhu Yun handed in the medicine bag.

Xia Xiaorou took it in her hand and thanked her gratefully.

"I heard that Madam Zhu invited you to work at the manor, but you refused? Why?" Yan Heng looked at Xia Xiaorou and asked again.

"Not free." Xia Xiaorou lowered her eyes.

"Not free?" Yan Heng narrowed her eyes. "How can I not be free?"

Xia Xiaorou lifted the curtain and looked outside. She found that they were not far from Song Yuan's house. She said to Yan Heng, "Let's stop here."

"You haven't answered my question yet, how can you not be free?" Yan Heng leaned forward and stared at Xia Xiaorou's face with squinted eyes.

Although she is a weak woman, her eyes reveal a stubbornness and stubbornness that cannot be broken even by a hammer.

This made Yan Heng very angry.

Xia Xiaorou took off her cloak, hugged Song Yuan, opened the curtain, and was about to jump out of the car.

Yan Heng was so scared that she grabbed her and ordered Shanliang, "Stop the car!"

As soon as the carriage stopped, Xia Xiaorou carried the medicine bag, hugged Song Yuan, and ran quickly towards Song Yanbai's house.

Song Cuixi, who was squatting at the door, saw her coming back and quickly jumped out from behind the tree to block Xia Xiaorou's way, "Xia bitch, stop right there!"

Yan Heng narrowed her eyes slightly, "Zhu Yun!"

"Zhu Yun understands." Zhu Yun jumped down from the driving position and strode towards Song Cui Xi.

Without saying a word, he pulled her away.

Just at this moment, Xia Xiaorou took advantage of the situation and ran into the yard with Song Yuan in her arms.

Song Cuixi was about to get angry when she found out that it was Zhu Yun who pulled her. This person was from Yanyuan, so how could she dare to offend him?

"Miss...Miss, is there something wrong?" Song Cuixi shrank her neck in fear.

"Oh, sorry, I recognized the wrong person." Zhu Yun smiled slightly and turned back to the carriage.

Song Cuixi was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do.

-

Xia Xiaorou rushed into the main room carrying Song Yuan. Chu Xianyun was so frightened when she saw that they both came back wet that she even forgot to make gestures. She just opened her mouth and screamed in a hurry to speak.

"I'm sorry for my negligence, second sister-in-law." Xia Xiaorou shook her head apologetically.

She laid Song Yuan down on a chair in her room and quickly moved the brazier from the main room over.

"No, I walked onto the ice and fell into the water." Song Yuan explained.

Chu Xianyun didn't have time to ask more questions, so she hurried into the kitchen to boil some hot water and brought it over to help them wash and change their clothes.

After some cleaning, both of them felt warm all over, and then Chu Xianyun asked the reason.

When she found out that Song Yuan stepped on an ice cube and fell into the water while picking flowers, and that Xia Xiaorou risked her life to rescue him, she pulled Song Yuan to acknowledge Xia Xiaorou as her godmother.

"Xiao Rou, you saved Yuan'er's life, which is equivalent to giving him a new life. You are like his reborn mother. It is only natural for him to recognize you as his mother. You don't have children, so this child will take care of you in your old age." Chu Xianyun explained to Xia Xiaorou.

Song Yuan also liked Xia Xiaorou, so he followed Chu Xianyun's words and immediately called Xia Xiaorou, "Mom."

Xia Xiaorou opened her eyes wide and looked at Chu Xianyun and then at Song Yuan.

son?

Yes, why didn’t she think of adopting Song Yuan as her son earlier in her previous life?

With her to take care of him, Song Yuan would not have died young.

She would also not adopt the ungrateful child born to Song Wenshan's concubine, causing her own premature death!
