It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

The charcoal fire wasn't the most pressing issue. When Jiang Yan and Chunying got off the bench after swapping jobs, they were already experiencing mild dizziness from hypoglycemia.

Fu Weixin was standing in the courtyard watching them sweeping the snow. He happened to see Jiang Yan staggering when she got off the ground. Thinking that it was because of the cold weather and the long time of standing that her legs and feet were numb, she called out the few people who were staying in the house to help.

However, supplies in the guest house were scarce, and all that was suitable for use had already been collected by Jiang Yan and the others.

Seeing this, Fu Weixin ordered, "I have a few green-glazed, colorfully patterned wide-mouthed porcelain vases in my room. Baoqin, go get them out and put the snow in them."

Baoqin was a little hesitant. Those porcelains were specially placed by the Chang family in the girl's room for decoration. They were both precious and fragile. She was worried that they would be damaged, which would cause trouble and embarrass them both.

"Why don't you go quickly?" Fu Weixin urged Baoqin when he saw that she was hesitating.

The maid guarding the gate heard every movement in the courtyard clearly. After walking a few more steps to the far end of the alley, she could see that some of the snow on the outside of the eaves had disappeared, revealing the gray-black tiles, and the occasional rising and falling hands from above.

Chang Chaotong, summoned to the courtyard by Old Madam Chang to receive the news of Fu Weixin's confession, bowed and left immediately after hearing the servant's report. Since she refused to admit her fault, she would remain imprisoned until she did.

"Chang Qing is right. She is just like her parents, a stubborn person who refuses to change her ways." As soon as Chang Chaoyi left, Old Madam Chang immediately started to lose her temper in front of Madam Chang Da and Madam Chang Er.

Ever since Old Master Chang handed over the power to his eldest son and went to Qinshan to practice Taoism, Old Lady Chang has been content and happy for many years and has never been disobeyed by anyone.

But she was upset several times after Fu Weixin returned home, not to mention that she learned yesterday afternoon that Fu Weixin had kidnapped Huang Ma, who was beside her, just for a few servants who openly disobeyed her orders, which seriously damaged her reputation.

She had been patiently waiting for Fu Weixin to come and admit his fault so they could have a fight together, but she didn't expect to become a laughing stock again...

Madam Chang felt that since Fu Weixin did not appreciate her tolerance, she simply made a harsh statement: "Old Lady, please give orders. From today on, no food should be sent to her courtyard. I don't believe that she can't be tamed."

The eldest lady of the Chang family responded with a gentle expression, "Okay, old lady. I'll send someone to notify the kitchen right away."

After leaving Old Madam Chang's yard, Second Madam Chang couldn't help but look at First Madam Chang a few more times before parting.

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Chang checked her clothes and found nothing wrong.

Madam Chang Er shook her head: "Nothing, I just suddenly realized that my sister-in-law has a good temper."

Why didn't I realize before that Xiao Suyue, under the appearance of a gentle and kind person, actually had a petty mind worthy of the Chang family?

If Old Madam Chang had not mentioned the fast, she would not have known that not sending food to the guest house yesterday was an order issued by the mistress of the Chang family.

How much hatred and resentment must there be towards a little girl whom I haven't seen for more than ten years...

Madam Chang Er returned to her own courtyard and quickly called her twin children to give them more instructions, asking them to be more respectful and cautious when interacting with Madam Chang Da and her children in the future, so as to avoid being attacked secretly.

"We remember mother, but why?" the brother and sister asked in unison.

Although the two children in front of her were only seven years old, they were obedient and sensible children who could keep secrets. Therefore, Mrs. Chang Er did not hide anything and told them everything she knew in detail, and repeatedly asked them not to spread it around.

The brother and sister's eyes sparkled as they listened, and they grinned at each other from time to time.
