Since you're so heartless, don't blame me!

Gu Chengbin made up his mind, turned around and walked back into the dungeon.

*

It was just the time to light the lamps.

The maids in the front courtyard of the Prince's mansion took down the lanterns from the covered walkway, lit them, and then hung them back up.

At this moment, Xinqiao exclaimed in surprise, which startled Lanxiang so much that the pole in her hand wobbled and the big red lantern at the top almost fell down.

"What are you yelling about!" Lanxiang glared at Xinqiao.

Realizing that it was getting dark, she silently recited a Buddhist prayer.

Xinqiao didn't answer her, but pointed to the sky, "Lanxiang, look, the snow has stopped!"

The two women were momentarily stunned. They had almost forgotten what the sky looked like without wind and snow.

They completely forgot the task that Zijing had assigned to them.

Zijing waited for a while, but half of the courtyard was still dark.

She frowned as she stepped out of the room and asked softly, "What are you two doing standing there on the veranda? It's getting dark, what if..."

She quickly realized the difference and excitedly ran back to the main hall.

Forget about keeping a low voice, he shouted loudly, "Your Highness, Your Majesty, great news! The snow has stopped!"

Gu Chengbin initially wanted to get angry, but upon hearing such good news, he couldn't sit still any longer.

He stood up, putting down his half-eaten dinner. "I'm going to the study. Zitong, go to bed by yourself when you're sleepy tonight, don't wait for me!"

It was just a soft hand that rested on his palm.

Madam Xu stared at him intently and said calmly, "Finish your dinner."

Gu Chengbing's excitement was instantly extinguished.

He quickly regained his composure and placed his hand on Xu's, saying, "Thank goodness you reminded me!"

After Gu Chengbing left, Madam Xu summoned Zijing and said, "Tell the people in the main kitchen later that the hot water in the main kitchen must not be cut off tonight, and prepare some plenty of noodles and steamed buns for the Prince and his guards."

"Keep the light on in the prince's study, and don't turn it off over there. These next few days will be tough, but once things settle down, I'll reward them with half a month's salary!"

Zijing smiled and agreed, then turned and went out to get busy.

The same scene played out in every corner of Yanjing City.

More and more people, noticing that the snow had stopped, went into their courtyards to bask in the long-awaited moonlight.

Lu Huan and Gao Yan also vaguely heard the commotion in the village.

But because they were too far away, they couldn't hear it clearly.

At this moment, He Niang excitedly rushed into the west wing.

Upon seeing Lu Huan's face, she instantly came to her senses.

He stepped aside to the door and knocked twice. "Um... Boss, the snow has stopped!"

Lu Huan wasn't surprised that it was this time in his previous life, but for Gao Yan, it was obviously a great thing.

Although the information he received from the Prince of Yan's residence indicated that everything was normal and the price of grain in the city had not increased, he could not rest easy as long as the snow continued.

Now things are much better!

Gao Yan's eyebrows almost flew off his face. He shoveled the contents of the bowl into his mouth in two gulps, dropped the bowl, and ran outside.

He didn't forget to add, "Huan'er, I'll be right back after I go to the clan chief's house!"

The man quickly disappeared from sight.

Lu Huan looked towards the gate and said softly, "Okay!"

He Niang walked to Lu Huan's side and explained softly, "Master, I'm just too happy..."

"Yes, I know. This won't happen again."

"Hey! Okay!"

Half of the food on the table was still left, and Gao Yan was clearly not full.

Lu Huan added, "Is there any broth left from this morning? Ayan probably didn't eat enough for dinner. Knead some dough and make him a bowl of noodle soup later!"

He Niang readily agreed, but Lu Huan quickly changed his mind: "Fine, you knead the dough and let it rest, I'll show you my skills in a bit!"

Make some more minced meat sauce tomorrow morning, I'm craving it!

"Great! Good!" He Niang was overjoyed.

Since Lu Huan became pregnant, she has never shown any particular craving for any particular food.

Now the day has finally come for her to truly shine!

The moonlight outside the window shone on the snow, making the window paper bright and shiny.

It didn't feel like night at all; it was more like daytime before a storm.

Lu Huan looked up at the moon in the sky.

She wondered if it was just her imagination, but the moon seemed to have a cool, bluish hue tonight.

It was completely unlike my previous life, which was a pale, watery red. Just thinking about it now is incredibly eerie.

Before Lu Huan could even process her thoughts, she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness wash over her.

She leaned against the door, her legs unable to support her weight, and slumped against the door.

Shi Liang was positioned directly opposite the west wing, and he could immediately see Lu Huan's unusual behavior.

He pointed to the door and shouted, "Oh no! The master has fainted!"

He Niang slammed her bowl down on the table with a loud bang, swallowing the food in her mouth without even chewing it.

Commander Shi Dong said, "Honey, hurry to the village elder's house and bring your son-in-law back. Remember, don't let everyone know, understand?"

"I know what's important!"

He Niang then called to Shi Liang, "Youngest son, come and give me a hand!"

She didn't know if she could lift up the boss on her own, but Shi Liang was clearly more suitable than Shi Gu.

"And you!" He Niang looked at her eldest son, "Shi Gu, you guard the kitchen and don't let anyone in. Boil some more water!"

He Niang quickly made arrangements for everyone, then took Shi Liang and walked to Lu Huan's side.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

He Niang touched Lu Huan's forehead and palms, and found nothing unusual.

Lu Huan felt a throbbing pain in her head. "I'm fine, it's just a headache."

A headache, this could be a minor or major problem!

With He Niang's support, Lu Huan was able to walk again.

But because of the severe headache, I couldn't open my eyes at all. As soon as I saw even the slightest light, my vision would blur violently.

"Help me back to bed..."

He Niang asked anxiously, "Master, should we call a doctor?"

Lu Huan's head throbbed even more when she thought of that Doctor Jia. "No need! Don't call...the doctor! Tomorrow...Jimintang..."

"Understood!" He Niang called towards the door, "Shi Liang! Bring in some hot water!"

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Lu Huan's forehead was covered in sweat, and his lips had lost all color.

Everything that had happened in the past two days kept replaying in He Niang's mind.

It seems that apart from the taste of the safflower soup, the owner didn't encounter anything unusual!

While He Niang was racking her brains, Lu Huan's mind conjured up the image of a spatial dimension.

She wanted to drink some spring water to relieve the pain.

No sooner had I put my finger in my mouth than a sharp pain shot through my head.

It felt like someone was hitting her head hard with a hammer.

Lu Huan was in so much pain that she trembled.

The spatial illusion in his mind shattered instantly into countless golden fragments.

Lu Huan had a bad feeling. Could it be that her space had disappeared?

There's still so much gold and treasure inside!

Her food, and those sisters!
