As he was speaking, the sky in the future gradually turned gray, and soon snowflakes began to fall.
Goose-feather-like snowflakes fell on Wen Qingzhi's long black hair, like new hair accessories, adding a touch of mystery to her.
She continued, "Under normal circumstances, I'd have plenty of time to play with them, but not right now. I'm about to enter the palace, and by then, I might not be able to protect myself, let alone be on guard against Jiang Nian."
"If my sister-in-law were the head of the household, Jiang Nian would definitely find a way to drain the mansion from her. With my sister-in-law's weak personality, she can only cry a few times and say 'I'm sorry' to me when I come back."
Having said that, she closed her eyes helplessly and frowned.
A snowflake stuck to her crow-feather eyelashes, which quickly melted into water droplets. When she opened her eyes, the water droplets were still on her eyelashes, and with her harmless and cute little face, she looked pitiful.
"Even if I don't die after leaving the palace, I will be exhausted. I really don't want to deal with the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion when I am most tired and in the most difficult time. This is why I want my mother to be the head of the family."
"It's very simple. Mother is more familiar with this area of the household than anyone else, not even me. Besides, with my elder sister's assistance, nothing will happen to the Marquis' Mansion."
For the past two days, she didn't dare to think about what extreme actions Jiang Yao would take if she were the head of the family and was told that her family was gone when she came out of the palace.
After hearing what she said, Zheng Lin could understand her concerns, so he no longer mentioned asking his mother to help Jiang Yao.
He turned to ask another question, "So...what does this have to do with your son-in-law?"
The snow was getting heavier. Someone came looking for them and called out from a distance, "Miss, Master Zheng! It's snowing! Come back and prepare for dinner!"
Wen Qingzhi smiled sweetly, slowly stood up, and patted the falling snow on the mountain. "Well...it depends on what my sister-in-law does next."
"The Wen family needs a descendant to support it. This descendant must have half of the Wen family's bloodline. Men find women, and everyone gets half. So why can't I find a man, have a child, and continue the family line?"
"..."
Zheng Lin widened his eyes in shock and looked at Wen Qingzhi in disbelief.
These words make one's scalp tingle at first glance. What a bold statement!
But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
When he came to his senses, Wen Qingzhi had already walked away. Her tall and straight back revealed endless loneliness.
Zheng Lin caught up with her and soon they were walking side by side.
He held up his cloak over Wen Qingzhi's head to shield her from the snow.
Wen Qingzhi noticed his actions, just glanced at him and said nothing else.
On the first day of the first year of this year, not all the falling snow fell on her head.
When we arrived, everyone in the small mountain village was in the dining hall, and the aroma of meat filled the air, tempting our hearts.
Zheng Yue was the first to see them approaching. Seeing Zheng Lin shielding Wen Qingzhi from the snow, she was extremely excited. !!!
Her brother, who was so stupid, finally came to his senses!!
She excitedly shook Mother Zheng's hand, "Mom, Mom! Look! Brother and Azhi are back!"
Mother Zheng looked over as she reminded her and smiled happily.
The two were afraid that Miss Wen Qingzhi would be embarrassed, so they immediately turned their heads away and pretended not to see it.
When Zheng Shu turned around and saw the two of them returning, she immediately jumped up and ran to Wen Qingzhi, and tactlessly pulled Wen Qingzhi into the shed.
"Third sister, come quickly! It's snowing so heavily outside, don't let yourself get frozen!"
After coming in, she said coquettishly, "Brother, you are such a fool! It's snowing, and you didn't even bother to bring my third sister back!"
"If it gets frozen, I'll see what my brother will do!"
Mother Zheng looked at her little daughter who was pestering Wen Qingzhi. She was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she could do nothing.
She put on a smile and said, "If she really gets cold, let your brother take care of her! Besides, since Ah Zhi is sick, she has a reason not to go to the palace!"
"what?"
Zheng Shu was annoyed. "Why didn't I think of this?"
She bit her lip and said to Wen Qingzhi in embarrassment, "Third sister, how about... you go out and get caught in the snow for a while?"
"You kid!"
Mother Zheng laughed out of anger and patted her lightly, "What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"
Zheng Shu felt wronged and raised her head, unconvinced, "Didn't mother just say that Third Sister didn't have to go to the palace when she was sick?"
"you!"
Mother Zheng was speechless. Just as she was about to tell Wen Qingzhi not to mind, she heard Wen Qingzhi say with a smile: "What Mother said is true, but——"
"It was the Regent who asked me to go this time. Let alone if I was sick, even if I was dead, he would send someone to take me away."
When everyone heard her words, they understood what she meant and felt sad for her for a moment.
In the distance, Feng Yun, who was handling official business, sneezed several times in a row.
Mu Qian thought he was sick, so he called the court doctor to take his pulse. It turned out that there was indeed nothing wrong with him and he was very healthy.
Feng Junxiao leaned back on the armchair, staring out with a narrow gaze, and said, "I'm not sick, it's just that people are nagging me..."
……
Small village.
During the meal, everyone chatted about the current situation. Wen Qingzhi also understood the current situation of the small mountain village and made preliminary plans for the future.
She planned to select some suitable people from among them to work in her own shop so as not to waste their talents.
The small mountain village is located in a remote area, and letting them live here all the time is not a long-term solution.
We still need to find an opportunity to settle them all into the city.
She had previously asked Butler Wang to look out for an inconspicuous mansion near the city edge, which was cheap and would not cost too much money.
After all, after they go there, Wen Qingzhi will still be responsible for their eating, drinking, defecating and urinating for a while.
Many shops in the Marquis' Mansion have ceased operations, and the few that are still in business are almost all under the emperor's nose. He will exploit them for whatever profit they make.
The silver in Dao Wen Qingzhi's hands was pitifully small. After deducting the daily expenses of the Marquis' Mansion, there was very little left.
It seems that she needs to find some time as soon as possible to plan a career for herself.
The Zheng family had a very happy day today. After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Zheng Shu was still talking incessantly about the things in the small mountain village.
Wen Qingzhi brought the skewers she brought back to Jiang Yao. After the whole trip, the mother and son were still lukewarm towards Wen Qingzhi.
Wen Qingzhi didn't say much and didn't stay long. She put down her things and left.
After Wen Qingzhi left, Jiang Yao looked at the skewers on the table without moving.
However, Xiao Shitou couldn't resist the gluttony in his stomach, so he immediately went over to open the box, picked up a skewer and tasted it.
Jiang Nian also went over to taste it and said, "It tastes pretty good."
"only……"
She looked at Jiang Yao, chewing the fragrant skewers in her mouth. "Sister Yaoyao, you see, they still care about you. At least, they will bring back their leftovers for you to eat."
