The north wind gradually rose, the chill was biting, the howling north wind swept through the branches of the trees, making bursts of wild beast-like screams, which was creepy.

Lin Qing in the room had just woken up. She had just stretched herself contentedly when she saw Cui Xi running in in a hurry.

"Miss, Miss, something bad has happened. Qiuju from Nan Xiaoniang's courtyard came to ask for a meeting. She said that Nan Xiaoniang was called away by Madam to make rules, and she hasn't come back yet."

Lin Qing couldn't help but frown after hearing this. She got out of bed quickly, put on her clothes, put on a fox fur coat, and hurriedly took Cui Xi out.

As soon as he walked out of the hospital gate, he met Qiuju who had been waiting at the gate. Qiuju looked anxious with tears on her face. When she saw Lin Qing, she rushed to greet him as if she had seen a savior.

"Miss, Miss, please go and save me. I've been gone for several hours. The weather was fine when I left, and I wasn't wearing much."

Lin Qing couldn't help but quicken her pace. She remembered that when the first snow fell in her previous life, her mother was called by Shen to set rules. She stood in the snow for a whole day and was not carried out from the yard until the evening. At this time in her previous life, she was still outside doing things for Yetinghua and did not return home until the evening.

As soon as she returned home, she heard about this incident. Nan Mingyu had a high fever for three days and three nights and almost lost her life. Finally, Lin Qing asked Ye Tinghua for help, and Ye Tinghua went to the palace to invite the imperial physician, which saved Nan Mingyu's life.

But Nan Mingyu's body became ill because of this incident, so when Shen falsely accused her of having an affair, she was beaten to death after being hit by a few sticks.

Thinking of this, Lin Qing also began to trot anxiously, and said in a somewhat unhappy tone, "Qiu Ju, why didn't you come to find me earlier?"

Qiuju also started to trot at this time. She said with a slightly tearful voice, "Miss, Qiuju has been here for a long time. Cuiyun from your courtyard has been stopping me from going in. She said that you are resting and cannot be disturbed. I have been waiting at the door until I met Sister Cuixi who came back."

After hearing this, Lin Qing couldn't help but clench his fists. Cuiyun could not be kept. Now Yingyue and Yingxue had been sent out by him to gather information. He was too careless. He was busy planning the affairs of the Third Prince and forgot that such an incident would happen in his previous life.

Soon Lin Qing brought Qiuju and Cuixi to the gate of Shen's courtyard, and saw Qiutao being escorted by several old women from afar.

Lin Qing didn't care about anything else. He rushed forward and kicked the leading woman, Liu. The other three women were also frightened by Lin Qing's sudden appearance.

Lin Qing kicked Granny Liu to the wall. She held her stomach with her teeth bared and shouted, "You three are dead! Hurry up and deal with this concubine! How dare she, a concubine, run into the mistress's yard and act wild!"

Lin Qing ignored them and kicked open the half-open courtyard door. She saw Nan Mingyu lying in the snow. She hurried over, took off her fox fur coat and covered Nan Mingyu tightly.

Cui Xi and Liu Pozi, who were at the door, also ran in. Qiu Ju helped Qiu Tao, whose face was covered in blood, up at the gate and held her in her arms.

Lin Qingye held the unconscious Nan Mingyu tightly in his arms, with murderous intent in his eyes.

She growled in a hoarse voice, "Someone come quickly! Cui Xi, go find someone to send me back!"

Cui Xi was so frightened by the scene that she burst into tears. She was about to run out in a hurry, but the courtyard door was heavily closed by a group of maids led by Liu Pozi.

Two of the old women were still holding Qiu Tao, whose face was covered in blood, and Qiu Ju, who had already burst into tears.

Granny Liu smiled sinisterly and said, "Today, without Madam's order, none of you can leave this yard!"

Lin Qingye still hugged Nan Mingyu tightly, and said word by word, "I! Say! Call! Someone! Come!"

At this time, the door of the room was gently pushed open from the inside, and Shen and Lin Qingyao walked out lazily, each holding a hot water bottle in their hands.

Lin Qingyao said sarcastically with a contemptuous smile on her face, "Why are you making so much noise here, you rascal? Didn't I say that my mother is not feeling well and is resting in bed? If you disturb my mother's health, I will sell you all out!"

Lin Qing also kept seeing Shen and Lin Qingyao, and he wished he could rush forward and skin them both with his own hands!

Lin Qing was so angry that she was shaking all over. She tried to control her emotions and said, "Please mother, please save my mother. My mother has fainted."

After hearing this, Lin Qingyao laughed and said, "Oh? Why are you my sister and Aunt Nan? With such a loud noise just now, I thought it was some servant who didn't know the rules! My sister is the daughter of my mansion, how can she be so unruly? You are really raised by me!"

Shen also spoke up at this time, "Lin Qingye, why are you running into my yard like a madman! Do you really think this mansion belongs to her Nan Yi Niang? How can you be so presumptuous!"

Lin Qingye's nails dug into her flesh, and she clenched her fists tightly, trying to control her emotions. If Nan Mingyu didn't need medical treatment quickly, she would have to tear down the spider hole for the mother and daughter.

Lin Qing also lowered her voice and said, "I don't know what my daughter has done wrong that my mother would call her here in the snow to discipline her? Now my daughter has fainted. I beg you to send her back to the courtyard first."

After hearing this, Shen showed an exaggerated expression and said, "When did this happen? When I returned home this morning, I saw that the weather was good, so I thought of looking for Nan Yi Niang to come over and talk about women's private matters, but then I felt a little unwell, so I asked someone to let Nan Yi Niang go back? Madam Liu, what's going on?"

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she immediately understood what she meant and knelt down and said, "To answer Madam, I did convey the message to Aunt Nan. It was Aunt Nan who refused to leave. Aunt Nan said she wanted to wait for Madam in the courtyard. I asked Aunt Nan to go into the house and wait for her but she refused. Aunt Nan said that the second young lady offended Madam the other day and she wanted to make amends to Madam on behalf of the second young lady. That's why she has been standing in the courtyard and refused to leave! Madam, you are wronged!"

Lin Qingyao also interrupted at this time, "So that's how it is. It seems that Aunt Nan volunteered to stand in the courtyard and plead guilty for me without my mother knowing! This is your fault, my sister. How can you let your mother take the blame for your mistakes? If this gets out, I'm afraid that outsiders will say that my mother didn't teach you well!"

Lin Qingye could no longer suppress her anger at this moment. She stood up, carried Nan Mingyu on her back and was ready to leave. Mrs. Liu at the side hurried to stop her, but was scared back by Lin Qingye's murderous look.

The other three maids did not dare to step forward upon seeing this. They all looked at Shen, waiting for her to speak.

The snow was falling heavily, and it was getting heavier. The anger in Lin Qingye's eyes grew stronger as the snow got heavier.
