Resisting the Wind and Splendor

The carriages arranged by the Duke of Qin's mansion were very large and spacious.

After Chu Yueli helped Qin Muxue into the car, she let her lie down on the soft cushion and laid a blanket on her.

"How about we sit on the painted boat later?" Chu Yueli was still actively planning today's itinerary: "I haven't been to the center of the lake in a long time. Let's see if we can hire a musician to play a few tunes for us to liven things up. Oh, and we also need to prepare some fruit wine and tea."

"All you know is eating," Lu Yunfei said, completely unperturbed.

Chu Yueli rolled her eyes at him: "Being able to eat is a good thing! When you get old and all your teeth fall out and you can't even gnaw on a piece of meat, let's see if you miss the days when you could eat and drink."

"Heh..." Qin Muxue listened quietly, occasionally smiling.

Brother Yunfei is usually a man of few words, but he always talks a lot when he's with his cousin's wife.

She was really envious, envious that her cousin-in-law could banter with Yunfei.

Brother Yunfei never argues with her. If he's unhappy, he'll just ignore her. Unlike when he's with his cousin's wife, he'll talk back when he's unhappy.

"By the way, Yunfei, didn't you bring some delicious food from the palace for Xue'er?" Chu Yueli winked at Lu Yunfei.

"Brother Yunfei... brought me... something delicious?" Qin Muxue was so excited that she almost cried!

In all these years, when has Brother Yunfei ever done anything special for her? He even brought her food! She never even dreamed of it!

Lu Yunfei glanced at Chu Yueli, then at Qin Muxue, looking somewhat troubled.

Those roasted chestnuts were hard... really hard. Given Qin Muxue's current condition, how could she possibly eat them?

She wouldn't eat it even if I gave it to her! I don't know why the witch insisted that I say it was saved for her; lying isn't a good thing.

However, Qin Muxue seemed quite happy to hear this.

There was a light in her eyes, and seeing it made Lu Yunfei feel much better.

There's a light in his eyes; I wonder if he can get better.

It's pitiful to think about this girl; she's so young, yet she already looks like she's on her last legs.

If only I could continue living!

Thinking of all the little moments they had shared, Lu Yunfei's heart ached several times. He pulled the bag of roasted chestnuts from his pocket: "This..."

"You specially saved this for Xue'er, so you can give it to her yourself." Chu Yueli gave up her seat.

Lu Yunfei was still somewhat hesitant, but in the end, Chu Yueli called him over with a look.

He moved to Qin Muxue's side, opened the bag of roasted chestnuts, and still hesitated.

"This... Xue'er, you're not feeling well, you can't eat this."

"No, I want to eat." Qin Muxue tried to get up.

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Yunfei quickly reached out and helped her up.

"Brother Yunfei..." Qin Muxue looked at him, her thin, resolute lips trembling slightly: "Brother Yunfei, I... want to eat it, will you peel it for me...?"

Lu Yunfei stared at her trembling lips, and his heart suddenly felt heavy.

She seemed to have some energy just now, but now she looks weaker and weaker. Why is that?

He looked at Chu Yueli, but Chu Yueli didn't look at him. She only looked at Qin Muxue and said, "The carriage is bumpy. It's not good to eat in the carriage. Let's eat when we get on the pleasure boat, okay?"

She was afraid that if Qin Muxue ate with great effort, she would exhaust her last bit of energy.

She's on the verge of collapse, and the only energy she has left is to talk to Lu Yunfei.

She must have so much more to say to him.

very many.
