Wei Pingxi woke up just as he arrived at his lodgings.
The carriage stopped, and she yawned: "Are we going to the inn?"
Yu Zhi stammered and nodded.
Her expression was strange, and the fourth young lady hooked her chin with one hand: "What's wrong?"
"My legs are numb."
"oh……"
Wei Pingxi seemed uninterested in acknowledging her situation, which made Yu Zhi's heart sink. Her leg numbness was entirely his fault.
Seeing her get up to leave, Yu Zhi's eyes reddened slightly, but she held back her words: Let her legs go numb to death, and let no one pay attention to her!
She sniffed.
"Bring me a cloak."
Emerald rushed over to deliver the cloak the young lady had requested.
The carriage curtain was lifted, and servants greeted their master as he alighted from the carriage.
The cloak was draped over Yu Zhi without warning. Her eyes were red, and her voice trembled with a hint of a sob as she asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'll carry you out of the car." Wei Pingxi wrapped her in his cloak and tied the collar for her. "It's cold, be careful not to catch a cold."
She held Yuzhi horizontally in her arms.
Yu Zhi stood there, and by the time she reacted, her body had already instinctively wrapped around the back of her neck.
Her face flushed with embarrassment.
It's so embarrassing.
So it turns out we weren't ignoring her after all.
She felt embarrassed for misunderstanding Wei Pingxi, and before they came out of the carriage, she gave the fourth young lady a subtle kiss on the chin.
As Madam Wei stepped down the wooden ladder from the carriage, she turned around and saw her daughter carrying her concubine as they walked towards her.
The innkeeper of Fulai Inn stood attentively at the door, waiting for the distinguished guest to arrive.
With so many people around, Yu Zhi hid in Wei Pingxi's arms. She had sharp ears and could hear the whispers of the people around her, even though the wind was blowing around her.
"They were talking about who you were and who I was, and why we were behaving so intimately."
“I heard you.”
"Are you scared?"
Yu Zhi clutched her clothes, her voice soft: "Why should I be afraid? I haven't done anything wrong, and I haven't been naked. They can say whatever they want."
Wei Pingxi chuckled: "You have quite a broad mind. No wonder I like you."
Her words were ambiguous, and Yu Zhi couldn't immediately tell whether she liked her broad-mindedness or was indirectly saying she liked her breasts.
She was too embarrassed to speak. Miss Wei looked at Emerald with a meaningful gaze, and Emerald nodded.
"Mother, let's go inside."
Seeing that she was still holding onto the concubine in her arms, Madam Wei felt a slight pang of jealousy for some reason.
She was that man's daughter, so naturally she resembled him.
Seeing that she was reluctant to put down her favorite concubine, Madam Wei vaguely thought that the man was holding another beauty. She frowned slightly and took the first step.
Wei Pingxi was half a step behind her, then caught up.
Once inside the inn, the surrounding chatter grew louder, clearly audible even through the wind and snow.
"See that? That's the fourth young lady of the Wei family. I heard she's also taking concubines like men. The person in her arms is her concubine, but unfortunately, she's covered up so well that I can't see what she looks like."
"She's probably a vixen too. It's a pity that the Fourth Miss, with her ethereal beauty, would be so foolish as to seek out women? Is it because men can't satisfy her?"
The man gave a lewd and obscene laugh, and his next words were even more offensive, which drew a burst of laughter from those around him.
"Smack!"
A slap.
Emerald glared and pointed coldly: "How dare you disrespect my young lady and tarnish her reputation! Arrest them and send them all to the authorities for justice!"
Who are you?
Jade, working with both hands in turn, slapped the man's face into a pig's head in the blink of an eye: "How dare you ask about my name? You think you can just say it? Go say it in the jail! Arrest me!"
The Wei family guards drew their swords and stepped forward.
The cold wind was biting, and the gossipers all became like parrots with their tongues pulled out, no longer daring to make a fuss, and keeping their tails between their legs.
The Wei family followed this pattern throughout their journey.
You're so talkative, I'll beat you until you never dare to open your mouth again!
How powerful it was!
How arrogant!
Before she even arrived in the capital, rumors of Miss Wei's domineering ways had already spread throughout the city.
The moral guardians banded together, waiting for the Fourth Miss to arrive in the capital and give her a thorough dressing down.
"Where are we? Where are we? Why haven't my cousin and aunt arrived yet?"
Yan Ruqing moved a stool and sat in the courtyard, eating melon seeds.
The servant said, "The second young lady and the others are still in Ruanshui Town. The cousin likes that place, but the roads were blocked by heavy snow, so the cousin and I are playing in the snow in Ruanshui Town right now."
"Playing in the snow?"
Yan Ruqing's teeth ached from the sourness: "Alright, alright, go down now, I'll go talk to Grandmother."
He dashed to the old lady's residence in the backyard, and before even entering, he shouted outside, "Grandmother! My cousin really knows how to have fun! We've been waiting here all this time, and she's off playing in the snow with her concubine!"
The old lady was afraid of the cold and didn't like to go out when it snowed in winter. She scolded her grandson from inside the cat: "If you're so capable, why don't you bring a woman home? How old are you? You don't even have a wife. Let alone a wife, you don't even have someone to warm your bed!"
"..."
With each stab to her grandson's heart, Yan Ruqing screamed and ran out of the courtyard gate.
...
Ruanshui Town is known as the "Snow Town" because it is a winter wonderland with its snow and ice.
The snowball traced an arc in the air and landed steadily on the fourth young lady's back.
*Smack*
It shattered on the ground and became scattered snowflakes.
Having hit someone, Yu Zhi raised her eyebrows with a smug look, her willow-leaf eyes smiling, and ran away before Wei Pingxi could retaliate.
"You dare to run away after ambushing me?"
She chased after her and pounced on the beautiful woman in the white fur coat.
Yuzhi lay on the soft snow, snowflakes falling from the sky drifting from her eyebrows.
Their eyes met, and the beauty's heart trembled slightly. Her lips parted slightly, and Wei Pingxi kissed her without hesitation.
Chapter 31 Entering the Yan Family Mansion
Light snowflakes gently adorn the top of her hair; white clothes covered in white snow—from afar, the scenery is picturesque, and the beauty is like a painting.
Madam Wei, draped in a fiery red cloak, looked up at the couple embracing and kissing in the snow, her expression serene.
Li Ledao said, "The Fourth Miss is very pleased with this concubine she has taken."
With this concubine by his side, he smiled more often than usual.
"Which woman from the Liu family of Jinghe isn't alluring?" Madam Wei casually flicked her prayer beads. "How long has it been?"
"It's been four months and twelve days."
This was the time when Wei Pingxi favored his concubines.
Four months and twelve days. Given her fickle nature, she'll probably get tired of it in two more months at most.
"Go find some fair-skinned, beautiful women from respectable families, so that she won't get tired of them and have no one to serve her."
"Yes, madam."
The snow-covered ground was a vast expanse of white. Yu Zhi was so captivated by her kisses that she was overcome with shyness and bit the tip of the Fourth Miss's tongue.
Wei Pingxi winced in pain and frowned at her, asking, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
It's not that I feel uncomfortable.
Yu Zhi looked at her shyly, not wanting to say that the Fourth Miss's kisses were too erotic, repeatedly playing with her tongue until the base of her tongue was numb.
She hugged the fourth young lady back, her cheeks were fair with a rosy glow, she was charming and amorous, her body was soft, and the arms around her waist were also soft.
Wei Pingxi reached out and wiped the water from the corner of her lips with his finger: "Are you tired?"
Yu Zhi was breathing heavily. Just as she was about to speak, a gust of wind blew in the snowflakes, and she almost choked, her face turning even redder.
"Shall we go back?" Wei Pingxi helped her up while patting her back to her feet. Yu Zhi's legs were trembling so badly that she almost knelt down.
So easily broken that someone raised a sly eyebrow and bent down: "Get on, I'll carry you."
The fourth young lady possesses profound martial arts skills, her strength is hidden in her bones and muscles, and she looks elegant and fairy-like, with the delicate grace of a fairy.
With little flesh on her back and only slender bones, Yu Zhi was afraid of crushing her when she lay on her back, so she didn't dare to exert any force, selectively forgetting how restless this woman was in bed.
Her jade-like arm loosely encircled her neck, and Wei Pingxi could feel her amusing thoughtfulness and gentleness without even turning around.
"Don't worry, I won't drop you."
Yu Zhi glanced at the snow-covered ground: "Be careful, the road is slippery."
Be careful.
Time seems to truly possess a magical power.
