Ye Yanzhi spoke, his voice more gentle than ever before, "Okay, if you don't want to get married, just stay home and I'll support you." Even if his sister never got married in her life, he would not allow anyone to treat her like that!

Seeing that their son had said this, the second uncle and aunt did not say anything.

Ye Qingya stood up happily and hugged her brother's arm, "Brother, you are the best."

Seeing that everything was resolved, Ye Qingyu stood up and said goodbye with a smile.

Ye Qingya looked at her embarrassedly, "Big sister, I'm sorry to have made you worry. I'll take you out."

Ye Qingyu smiled and took her hand.

It was already late when we returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

Feeling really tired today, Ye Qingyu fell asleep on the couch after dinner.

Wanqiu carefully looked at the injury on her back and felt relieved when she saw that the wound had not broken open.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Ye Qingyu woke up in a daze. Wanqiu saw that she was awake and whispered, "Miss, please go to bed."

Ye Qingyu looked at the dim light with sleepy eyes, then raised her eyes to look outside. It was already completely dark.

"What time is it?"

"The end of the Xu period."

Sitting on the couch, Ye Qingyu was stunned for a while. She struggled to get up. Wanqiu hurried forward to support her and said angrily, "Be careful with the injuries on your back."

Ye Qingyu hummed in a daze, and Wanqiu helped her to sleep.

The next morning, Ye Qingyu was woken up by the cold.

Even though there was a charcoal fire in the house, it was still freezing cold.

"Why is it so cold in late autumn? Is the charcoal fire out?" Ye Qingyu curled herself up into a ball and asked with a nasal hum.

Wanqiu rubbed her hands and spoke with a misty voice, "Miss, it's very cold today. I didn't expect it to be so cold. I put a pot of charcoal fire in the room and lit another one. The room will be warm in a while."

Late Autumn sighed, "It wasn't this cold last winter. How could it be this cold in the early spring? The flowers and plants in the yard are all frozen to death."

As Ye Qingyu listened to Wanqiu's words, her confused mind gradually became clear. She sat up and the memories of her past life gradually returned.

Yes, it was like that in her previous life. The second day after the heavy snow stopped, it was exceptionally cold. She remembered that the mansion did not stock up on charcoal at that time. There was only a little left over from the New Year. The price of charcoal was already sky-high. Charcoal was sold by the bushel, ten taels of silver per bushel. Even the powerful and wealthy families could not afford such a price, not to mention that the Marquis's Mansion was not actually that wealthy.

She was the one who was not loved by anyone. She was given a small basin, and Wanqiu and Nianchun suffered the cold with her. It was her third aunt who was afraid that she would get cold, so she gave her a lot of charcoal. But she was stupid enough to give it to the old lady in order to please her. She also caught a cold from the cold, but no one cared about her. It was her third aunt who came to see her and discovered her. She was taken to the Duke's Mansion. Otherwise, she might have died from the cold.

"Miss?" Looking at Ye Qingyu hugging the quilt in a daze, her thoughts flying away, Wanqiu spoke softly.

Ye Qingyu came back to her senses. "Get up, find some thick winter clothes for me, and bring a few extra sets. We'll go to the Duke's Mansion later."

"Okay." Wanqiu's brows were full of joy.

It's so cold, and the young lady is injured again. It would be safer for her to stay in the Duke's Mansion. In the Marquis' Mansion, who knows what trouble those people will cause. The young lady's injuries haven't healed yet, and she can't afford to suffer any more harm.

After breakfast, Ye Qingyu took Wanqiu and Mo Shu on a carriage to the Duke's Mansion.

As soon as the doorman of the Duke's Mansion saw Ye Qingyu's carriage, he immediately ran into the mansion to report.

"Third Madam, my cousin is here."

At this time, Xu was discussing with her second sister-in-law Zhong whether to go to the Marquis' Mansion to see Ye Qingyu. Even if they had sent a message saying that she was not seriously injured, they would not be allowed to go to visit. She was still worried. She also heard that Qingqing went to distribute porridge outside the city yesterday, so she thought there should be no big problem.

Only then did he think of discussing with Mrs. Zhong about going to the Marquis' Mansion to take a look, so that he could feel at ease.

When they heard the report from the doorman, their faces lit up.

"Speak of the devil! Come on, sister-in-law, let's go pick up Qingqing."

As soon as Ye Qingyu entered the gate, she saw Xu and Zhong walking hand in hand.

Seeing her face was a little pale, her eyes were full of heartache, "You child, you said you were fine, but your face is pale, let your aunt see where the injury is and how you are doing."

Ye Qingyu looked at her third aunt who quickly grabbed her clothes and was a little amused. Her clothes were being pulled in public, and her third aunt must have been so anxious that she was confused.

Mrs. Zhong quickly stopped Mrs. Xu's movements and scolded her, "It's so cold, aren't you afraid of freezing the child? If you have anything to say, let's go inside. Qingqing, come on, hurry inside."

Ye Qingyu nodded with a smile, and was taken to the side hall by her two aunts' hands.

As soon as she sat down, Xu quickly handed the hot water bottle on the chair to Ye Qingyu, "Your hands are cold, cover them quickly."

Ye Qingyu smiled and said softly, "Aunt, I'm really fine. Don't worry."

Mrs. Xu glared at her disapprovingly, "You're saying it's okay, but look at your face, it's so pale it's bloodless."

Ye Qingyu smiled helplessly and said, "Aunt, I just came in from outside. I'm just a little pale from the cold. My injury has healed a long time ago. If you don't believe me, ask Wanqiu."

Wanqiu knew that the two ladies were worried about their young lady, "Don't worry, ladies, the young lady's back injury has healed."

"real?"

Wan Qiu said, "Really, Third Madam, are you still worried about me? If my young lady's injury is really not healed, even if she cries, I will not let her go out."

Ye Qingyu glared at her helplessly. Xu and Zhong knew that Wanqiu was loyal and that she favored Ye Qingyu the most, so they still believed what she said.

"It's good that you're fine. Alas, child, you didn't let me go to see you when you were injured. Aren't you deliberately making your aunt worry? I've been worried every day these days. I heard the rumors outside and was so scared that I couldn't sleep well for the past two days." Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Zhong looked at Ye Qingyu with a kind face, "Qingqing, I'm glad you're okay. You don't know, if it weren't for the recent busy court and you not letting your grandfather go to the Marquis' Mansion, your grandfather would have taken a knife and killed the Marquis of Qingyuan."

At this point, a hint of anger appeared on Zhong's kind face. "Humph, I've never seen a father like this. What crime of murder or arson did you commit that they dare to use family law against you?"

Ye Qingyu quickly spoke softly to appease her two aunts, "Aunt, I deliberately contradicted Lord Ye. He would have punished me just for the sake of his reputation. Otherwise, I would have had to kneel in the ancestral hall for a few days. In such cold weather, a few whippings would have been more comfortable."

Xu's eyes widened. "You kid, you were whipped just because you didn't kneel in the ancestral hall?"
