After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, the first thing Lin Wan did was to go to Xiao's house and tell her that Lin Heng was going to Xishan Manor.

Xiao Shi really didn't say much, although she felt that some people in the Lin family didn't like her very much. But Lin Wan was the daughter-in-law of her mansion, and it was enough for Lin Wan to be good.

As for the others, they only get along with each other for Lin Wan'er's sake. As long as they don't go too far, it's fine!

"Wan'er, do you think that girl from the Ye family will cause any trouble in the village?"

Xiao is more concerned about this.

After all, Lu Tingxu is her only son. Although she doesn't like Ye Shiyue, she can't bear to see her son being abandoned and hurt by her.

"Mother, we don't have to do anything. We just borrow the farm to entertain the guests. The rest depends on personal choice."

Xiao nodded. She understood everything, but... alas, she couldn't explain what she was thinking at the moment.

Ever since Ye Shiyue was sent away, Lu Tingxu has been listless and has no energy to do anything.

The Jinwu Guard, which she had been looking forward to going to, is not going now. Xiao was extremely anxious as she spent the whole day having fun outside with those playboys.

Now she just hopes her son can see Ye Shiyue's true face as soon as possible, cheer up and live a good life.

After pacifying Mrs. Xiao, Lin Wan returned to the yard and sent someone to the West Mountain Manor to make arrangements, and at the same time gave a few words of instruction to the manager of the manor.

Xishan Zhuangzi at this time.

The temperature dropped sharply, and the farmers were busy going to the mountains to chop wood and burn charcoal to keep warm. Those who stayed behind also tried not to go out if possible.

Ye Shiyue huddled in a corner on the kang, wrapped in layers of clothes, her small face as white as a palm from the cold. With a miserable look on her face, she said to the little maid, "Zhu'er, go ask Aunt Miao if she has any charcoal. I really can't stand the cold any more."

Zhu'er's face turned purple from the cold. She said depressedly, "I asked Aunt Miao the day before yesterday, and she said that charcoal is never used on the farm."

"What? No charcoal?" Ye Shiyue was shocked. "What if we don't have charcoal in such a cold weather? Are we going to freeze to death?"

As she spoke, tears fell like beads from a broken string. Her already delicate temperament now looked even more pitiful. She didn't even need the contrast of clothes and jewelry.

Zhu Er couldn't help but tear up, "Miss, we have to find a solution quickly, we can't stay in this farm forever!"

"Brother Tingxu will definitely come to pick me up, and he will be here soon!" Ye Shiyue wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

"Oh my, my lady, why can't you see clearly?" Zhu'er has been hearing this since she came to the farm and she is tired of it. She didn't see Master Lu coming over.

She couldn't stand the cold weather anymore, so she said without caring, "We've been here for so long. If Master Lu really wanted to find out, why didn't he get any news? I think either the Marquis's wife locked him up, or that Lin has seduced him."

"No, he won't. Brother Tingxu won't! He doesn't love that woman Lin Wan." Ye Shiyue shook her head. Lu Tingxu promised her that he would not accept Lin Wan, and that he only married her to deal with the Xiao family.

"Okay, even if Master Lu doesn't have anyone else in his heart, what about the Marquis's wife?" Zhu'er was terrified when she thought of Xiao's behavior in the courtyard that night.

"The Marquis's wife is so powerful and strong. Even if you enter the Marquis's Mansion in the future, can you live a good life?"

Ye Shiyue was reminded by her and also remembered that night. Xiao's cold attitude was to send her away without question.

I bit my lips tightly, damn it! But what can I do?

She couldn't even wipe away her tears, sobbing, "What else can I do! Who else can I rely on except Brother Tingxu?"

"That's not necessarily true!" Zhu'er sat on the kang, moved closer to Ye Shiyue, and whispered, "Miss, you look like this, and your poetry and songs are outstanding. Which man wouldn't be moved and cherish you?"

As he spoke, his voice became even lower. "Even if Prince Lu is gone, there are still others. There are many wealthy and noble people in Shangjing City. We can't just cling to this one."

Ye Shiyue's face turned red after hearing her words, but her tears stopped.

She held the quilt tightly and didn't say anything. In fact, she had been very uneasy since her father's accident. Even though Lu Tingxu rescued her later and fed her well in the small courtyard, she could only hide in that small courtyard.

She could do nothing but watch Lu Tingxu get married. He said he would give her a good life, but now he has nothing.

Thinking of this, Ye Shiyue began to think.

"How much silver do we have left? Let's buy some charcoal first. We have to survive first and then make other plans!"

But Zhu'er said, "We only have three taels of silver left."

"How can it be so little?" Ye Shiyue exclaimed.

Zhu Er said with a bitter face: "Miss, the rouge and powder you use and those exquisite foods are all bought by us!"

Ye Shiyue felt even more miserable. She had always lived a life of luxury in the Ye family. Although she suffered in prison, she lived with Lu Tingxu in the courtyard. Lu Tingxu was afraid that she would not be treated well enough, so he sent all the gold and jade she had to the courtyard.

Suddenly she was at the farm and she was not used to it. But the people at the farm said that everyone was like this, and if a woman needed anything, she had to spend money. How could a few dozen taels of silver support her expenses?

"Go find Aunt Miao again and ask her to help you think of a solution." Ye Shiyue clenched her hands tighter, and her long nails left long scratches on the quilt.

She began to hate Lu Tingxu in her heart.

If you can't always protect her, why did you save her in the first place?

The Miao couple are both old people in the farm. They look honest, but they know their limits. They never do things that are too kind. They have worked for the Marquis' Mansion for decades, and the whole family, young and old, lives in this farm, doing things peacefully.

At this time, the couple was sitting on the heated kang and chatting about family matters. Zhu'er came over and knocked on the door.

Aunt Miao opened the door with her shoes on. Seeing that it was Zhu'er, she smiled and asked, "Miss Zhu'er, what's the matter?"

Zhu Er stamped her feet lightly, rubbed her hands and said, "Auntie, our girl's room is too cold. Can you help me find a way to keep warm?"

"We farmers all heat our kangs in winter. Didn't we talk about that a few days ago?"

Zhu'er blushed a little. When Aunt Miao said that before, Ye Shiyue felt that heating the kang was not clean and only warmed a small area, and the room was still cold. She wanted to use charcoal, but she disagreed. As a result, the weather was getting colder and colder. Alas...

Zhu Er blushed and said awkwardly: "It's getting colder and colder. We haven't stayed in the manor before..."

Aunt Miao knew it in her heart, but she didn't expose her. She followed Zhu'er to light the kang for Ye Shiyue.

As soon as she entered the room, she couldn't help but shiver. Looking at Ye Shiyue who was sitting on the kang wrapped in a quilt, she couldn't help but say, "Oh, pitiful thing. When has a young lady like you ever suffered such hardship?"

Just one sentence made Ye Shiyue, who was already feeling aggrieved, start crying again.
