Chapter 1

desolate old evening wind

Yiyi through the sun and snow

deaf
In the eyes of Hao already clean

It was snowing all day and all night.Everything in the world is covered in a vast expanse of white, the wind is howling, the big trees are shaking in the wind, and the branches are whipping in the air like whips dancing wildly.

In the northernmost part of Tong's mansion, a dilapidated firewood house was swaying in the wind, as if the house would be blown to pieces if the wind was stronger. Snow drifted into the house along the cracks.

After a long time, the dilapidated wooden door squeaked and slowly opened, a head cautiously protruded out of the door, and suddenly, that head shrank back again with a "whoosh".

Wow!so cold.

Looking up at the dark sky, it was just after Yin's time. She stretched out her hand and pulled the collar of her clothes to prevent the biting cold wind from getting in. She resolutely walked out of the room, picked up the bucket in the corner, and stepped into the white snow in the world.

Her thin and thin body made her look weak, and she walked towards the river not far from the house step by step with difficulty.

She had to hurry up and fill up the water tank before dawn, otherwise, Aunt Qianhong, the head maid, would punish her again.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

"what……"

With an exclamation, she accidentally tripped and fell to the ground, the bucket on her shoulder was thrown far away, and she lay quietly on the snow.

what is this?

The woman slowly got up from the snow and sat down, frowning her eyebrows, gently rubbing her sore knee, and complaining in a low voice: "It hurts me to death, what tripped me up?"

Meimou glanced around, trying to find the most shameful culprit who tripped her up.

Looking around, there is a vast expanse of whiteness all around, only snowflakes flying in the air.

"No? It's really strange! I don't care, it's important to fetch water." While muttering, he stood up, brushed away the snowflakes on his body, and picked up the bucket on the ground again.

Huh?what is that?
Looking around, I suddenly found that there was a particularly prominent place where she was sitting just now, and a shoe was faintly exposed.

Driven by curiosity, she put down the bucket she picked up again, squatted down, and scraped away the raised snow.

Not long after, a man suddenly appeared, Junxiu's face was extremely pale at the moment, his eyes were closed tightly, snowflakes fell on his long eyelashes, and melted into drops of water for a moment.

"Hey, hey, wake up, hey..."

The woman kept shaking the man on the ground, and the impatient man remained motionless, as if he had lost his life.

Could he be dead?

The woman was very scared in her heart, but she still stretched out her index finger slowly to detect the man's breath. Although it was very faint, it finally showed that the man was still alive.

It's okay, it's okay, people are still alive, so what should we do now?Just let him lie here?No, no, he must be frozen to death like this, and there is no one here right now.

After thinking for a while, he finally decided to carry him back first.

The thin and small body struggled to lift the man on the ground, and half-supported and half-pulled him back to the woodshed where he lived.

After a lot of hard work, she finally entrusted the man who was many times heavier than herself back, and put him on her bed that was not considered a bed.

After unloading the heavy object on her body, the woman exhaled heavily, it was really heavy, she was exhausted to death.

He set up a fire so that his clothes could be dried by the fire when his body was soaked in snow, and then he covered him with a quilt, not forgetting to shake the quilt for him carefully.

The man's face was like a jade crown, his face was as clear as a sculpture, and his angular face was extremely handsome. Even with his eyes closed and his face pale at this moment, he still couldn't hide his handsome face.

The woman was very puzzled, she obviously didn't see any injuries on his body, but he was still unconscious.

Suddenly, she stood up straight suddenly, screaming in her heart that something was wrong.

Worse, just looking at the man in front of me, I forgot my business, and ran outside the door in a hurry to have a look, seeing that the sky outside was gradually turning pale, but she hadn't finished the work that Aunt Qianhong told her, and there was nothing left in the water tank. Water, can't make breakfast, and those ladies can't wash their clothes. When it's over, Aunt Qianhong will definitely punish her. I don't know if it's too late.

really……

When she hurried to the kitchen with two buckets full of water and was out of breath, she saw the woman called Aunt Qianhong with her hands on her waist, standing fiercely waiting at the door.

She is obviously an old woman in her 40s, but she has applied thick layers of powder on her face, rubbing thick rouge and gouache, thinking that her charm is still there.

"Thousand...thousand...thousand..." The woman stood still in front of her tremblingly.

"Thousands, thousands, thousands, you stinking girl, it's only been a few days, you've learned to be lazy, I can tell you, you are no longer the third lady, the body of a thousand gold..." Qianhong's face was stern said angrily.

Before she finished speaking, the woman hastily argued: "Aunt Qianhong, I didn't come here so late on purpose, let alone being lazy."

Qianhong grabbed the woman's ear: "You borrowed your guts from the sky. You dare to interrupt me and make sophistry. If I don't punish you today, you will never know the rules." Only then did he let go of his hand and continued: "Go, kneel in the yard for me, and don't get up without my permission."

The woman's delicate face wrinkled together due to the pain, she caressed her ear that had just been twisted, and replied reluctantly: "Yes, aunt."

Even though she felt so wronged in her heart, she had no choice but to walk into the courtyard obediently, knelt down on her knees, and as soon as she touched the snow-covered ground, the snow immediately melted and penetrated into her underwear, the blood that penetrated into her bones The coldness made the woman couldn't help but gasp.

Qianhong looked at the woman sarcastically, and suddenly, she picked up the copper basin and filled it with water, and walked up to the woman: "Hold it up, if a drop of water splashes out, the punishment will be doubled."

The woman stared at her blankly, she really didn't believe what she heard, but as soon as she met Qianhong's fierce gaze, the woman still obediently took it over her head.

Seeing this, Qianhong smiled at the corner of her mouth, and turned to leave arrogantly. Before leaving, she did not forget to send a maid who was also as powerful as her to watch her every move.

It's a pity that she was only 11 years old at that time, when she was treated like this when she was pampered since she was a child, but she never understood what happened.

Five days ago, earth-shaking changes happened around her. Her mother disappeared, and her father treated her extremely indifferently. Tell her that from now on, she is just a servant of Tongfu, a lowly maidservant.

The fall of her status caused her to be bullied, and all the hard work was on her body, regardless of whether she was only an 11-year-old child and could bear it.

Even so, optimistic, she has been looking forward to the day when her mother will come back, her father will still be the one who loves her more, and she will still be the carefree Third Miss. All the suffering will end soon.

She didn't know that she had been looking forward to it for eight years, but she still failed to fulfill her wish...
