In the winter of the fifth year of Qianlong's reign, the piercing cold wind ravaged the city of Beijing, and the overwhelming snow seemed to annihilate this majestic city exuding an ancient atmosphere. 【 】

Located in a small courtyard that was about to be abandoned in the western suburbs of Beijing, a petite figure was standing by the well. She was trembling all over. The old cotton clothes could not keep out the cold at all, and the wind ravaged her exposed skin like a knife.

"Boom—" There was a sound from the well, and Wei Ning'er's little face flushed with cold showed a look of annoyance, the well was actually frozen, she lifted the bucket out of the well with trembling hands, and put it aside.

Looking at the little hands that had been cracked by the cold, Wei Ning'er blew a few breaths of hot air before she gradually regained consciousness.

This year's winter seems to be a lot colder than previous years, and it's almost spring, and the snow hasn't fallen day and night, and it's so cold that it hurts.

Wei Ning'er put down the bucket, went into the yard, and went straight to the back room.

"Er Niang... Er Niang..."

"Er Niang——" Wei Ning'er's shouting stopped abruptly, and her whole body seemed to be in an ice cellar. At this moment, the bed in the back room was empty, and there was no shadow of Mrs. Huang.

"Er Niang—" Wei Ning'er's face was pale, and she staggered and ran out.

It's so cold, where did Erniang go?

"Er Niang..." Wei Ning'er was so anxious that she searched the area, but there was no sign of Mrs. Huang.

Erniang has her, and she is thinking of her elder brother who is still in the Wei residence. Although life is miserable, she will definitely not commit suicide. Thinking of this, Wei Ninger's mind flashed,

Er Niang must have missed her brother and went to Wei's house.

Since the two of them were kicked out of the Wei family eight years ago, Wei Ning'er has never been near that place, but today, she has to go, if she doesn't go, the weak-tempered Erniang will definitely die.

The birth of Wei Ning'er was a great shame to the Wei family and the Huang family, even a nightmare.

In the year she was born, her mother, Wei Qingtai, was 71 years old. She was an old man who stepped into the coffin, but the Huang family gave birth to her. Wei Qingtai would give birth to a daughter like her.

In the eyes of everyone, she is the child of Er Niang who stole her life.

The Wei family was born in the House of Internal Affairs and was a slave of the royal family. Wei Qingtai also worked in the House of Internal Affairs. In the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Qingtai became the laughing stock of everyone. How could he bear the ridicule when he was old, but he was so angry that he had a stroke. Since then, he was bedridden and could not work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When Wei Ning'er was five years old, Wei Qingtai was completely paralyzed in bed, unable to speak, so the eldest wife of the Wei family, Mrs. Yang, kicked Wei Ning'er, mother and daughter out of the house.

The mother and daughter were helpless and living on the streets. Thanks to the help of Huang's good sisters who worked as maids in Fucha Mansion, they had a place to stay. They lived in this small courtyard for eight years. The passing yard, because they have no money to repair it, is already in disrepair.

Before giving birth to Wei Ning'er, Mrs. Huang gave birth to Wei Qingtai's son, Wei Xiuyun, who was five years older than Wei Ning'er. Missing her son, Mrs. Huang often cried bitterly at night. Coupled with the pressure of life, her health was getting worse every day, and now she was sick. I'm sorry, but there is no one at this moment, so I must have gone to find my son.

It's just that from the west of the city to the Wei's house, it's really not a long way to go, first you have to enter the inner city, Wei Ning'er trotted all the way, and it took more than an hour to reach the Wei's house.

It stands to reason that Baoyi was born in the Wei family, so she couldn't have such a big house in the inner city, but her grandfather was the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so she had such an honor.

Wei Ning'er hid behind the big stone lion for a long time, but she didn't see Huang's shadow. After a little thought, she knew that Er Niang must have gone to the small gate of the back garden, and she ran back a little anxiously.

From a distance, Wei Ning'er saw a familiar figure, it was Mrs. Huang.

At this time, there was a tall man standing beside Huang Shi, Huang Shi was holding that man's hand, Wei Ning'er was too far away, she couldn't hear what they were talking about, only the expressions of both of them were very excited.

"Er Niang..." Wei Ning'er called timidly as she stood behind the two of them.

Did Huang turn around when she heard the words, with tears still on her face, she pulled Wei Ning'er to the man and smiled, "Xiu Yun, this is your sister Ning'er!"

"Ning'er...it's so big!" The man was slightly surprised, looked at Wei Ning'er and smiled.

Wei Ning'er was a little stunned. When she left the Wei family, she was still young and hadn't seen her brother for eight years. The brother who always protected her back then had grown so tall. It is no longer the same as it was before, if E Niang hadn't said so, even if she saw it, she would not be able to recognize it.

"Brother..." Wei Ning'er couldn't help but shed tears.

"Er Niang, sister, I've been looking for you secretly all these years, but I couldn't find you. The aunt always said that you have starved to death on the street. Fortunately, you are fine. Now the house is in charge of the aunt and elder brother. I haven't reached the crown yet, ah The family property left by Ma can only be used after I reach the crown, and now I have to be at their mercy, this is not a place to talk, you leave for now, tomorrow I will go to the west of the city to find you!" Wei Xiuyun has been in the city for many years Surviving in the cracks, although young, he is very mature, even though he will never want to part with them, he has to let them go first.

"Okay, Er Niang, let's go!" Wei Ning'er shuddered and woke up in an instant. If the Wei family saw it, they would all be unlucky today. She dragged Huang to leave, but when Huang saw her son, Where is he willing to let go, when he heard that he was going to leave, he immediately cried like a tearful person, holding Wei Xiuyun's hand tightly and refused to let go.

"My child... Erniang's child..."

"Er Niang..." Wei Xiuyun's eyes were also wet, and he immediately took off the purse he was carrying with him and stuffed it into Huang's hands: "Er Niang, there are still a few taels of silver here, you can use it to buy some rice grains for now, my son tomorrow I'll go and see you!" Looking at the two people with yellow and thin faces and ragged clothes, Wei Xiuyun concluded that their life was extremely miserable, and it might be too late to go back to the house to get valuables, so Wei Xiuyun had to take out his money first Give them an emergency.

"Emiang, go!" Wei Ning'er didn't refuse, grabbed her purse, took Huang's hand, and dragged her to leave.

At this moment, the small door that was originally ajar was slammed open from the inside, and several servants holding sticks immediately surrounded Wei Ning'er, Huang Shi and the others.
