Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

Being hugged tightly, Ye Yunzi felt a little warm, as if the biting cold became less unbearable. She smiled and opened her arms, as if to embrace the whole world.

"Be careful..." Shen Siyan reminded nervously and hugged her tighter.

"With you by my side, I'm not afraid of anything." Ye Yunzi's voice was as clear as a silver bell, echoing in the wind and snow. The horse carried them forward quickly, and Ye Yunzi's heart seemed to fly with it.

Seeing the woman in his arms smiling so brightly, Shen Siyan's mouth corners also rose unconsciously. "Go." He shouted again and accelerated forward.

After an unknown amount of time, when they finally reached their destination, they were covered with a thin layer of snow. Shen Siyan stopped the horse steadily and gently helped Ye Yunzi dismount. "This is Qingmu Cliff."

A stunning view unfolded before her eyes: snow-capped mountains dotted with withered branches; in the distance were rolling cliffs, forming a beautiful picture. "It's so beautiful..." Ye Yunzi exclaimed softly, leaving deep footprints with every step. This place was completely different from the bustling and noisy capital, giving people a sense of tranquility and magnificence.

Turning around, Ye Yunzi found Shen Siyan staring at her quietly. She smiled mischievously, bent down, picked up a handful of snow, and threw it at him quickly. With a "pop", the snowball exploded on him.

"Haha..." Ye Yunzi's laughter was clear and particularly moving under the sunlight.

Seeing this, Shen Siyan also made a bigger snowball in response.

But when he pretended to throw, Ye Yunzi immediately protected herself with her arms, "Don't throw."

The snowball just grazed her shoulder and didn't actually hit its target.

This scene made both of them laugh even more happily.

"Watch me..." So a cheerful snowball fight began.

Until finally, they lay side by side on the soft snow, looking up at the blue sky, enjoying the rare warm sunshine in winter.

Ye Yunzi whispered the name "Shen Siyan", as if savoring every syllable of it.

Shen Siyan held her hand tightly. Although he said nothing, his determination gave her great comfort. She smiled slightly, and the corners of her eyes curved into a gentle arc.

He turned to look at her, and her fair face and delicate features came into view, especially the smile at the corner of her mouth, which made his eyes instantly become soft and melancholy.

"Yun Zi." He murmured in a low voice, so low that even he could hardly hear it.

"Yun Zi..." He repeated it again, as if talking to himself, and it finally turned into a heavy sigh.

When they rode back from Qingmu Cliff, the sun was setting in the sky. The cold air made Ye Yunzi's nose red with cold. As soon as she entered the house, Leng Xue hurriedly helped her take off her heavy cloak and hung it up near the stove to dry. The charcoal fire in the house was burning brightly, and the warmth was cozy.

"Miss, the bath water is ready." Leng Xue said.

Ye Yunzi walked behind the screen, slowly took off her clothes, and then stepped into the warm bathtub. Her cold body was gradually surrounded by warmth, and she closed her eyes to enjoy the tranquility and comfort of this moment.

At some point, Leng Xue left quietly.

Suddenly, the door opened with a slight sound.

"Leng Xue?" Ye Yunzi called out, "Give me the clothes."

A slightly rough hand handed over the clothes.

While taking the clothes, Ye Yunzi noticed that these hands did not belong to the young and lively Leng Xue. She immediately became alert and quickly reached into her sleeves to look for something to defend herself.

"who are you?"

A middle-aged woman appeared around the screen and said calmly, "Miss Ye, please don't worry. I am the maidservant of the eldest lady."

After confirming the identity of the visitor, Ye Yunzi breathed a sigh of relief, but was still a little confused: Where did Leng Xue go?

Nanny Qin bowed respectfully and said, "Young Master, please go to the West Garden. He will be waiting for you there."

"Mr. Shen is looking for me?" Ye Yunzi quickly put on her clothes, her wet hair falling on her shoulders.

"Okay, although it's not appropriate now, if it's really urgent..." She nodded and agreed to the request.

Putting on her coat, Ye Yunzi hurried away. Nanny Qin watched her retreating figure, with a barely perceptible strange look in her eyes.

In the night of Xiyuan, an oil lamp flickered slightly. Ye Yunzi slowly approached and vaguely saw a figure through the window.

She knocked on the door gently, "Mr. Shen?"

There was silence in the house.

Ye Yunzi gently pushed the door open, making a slight creaking sound.

"Is anyone there?" she asked softly.

Through the crack in the door, she saw Shen Siyan standing in front of a wooden table with an incense burner on it.

He opened the incense burner with a serious look, carefully observed the contents, and even leaned in to take a close sniff.

"This is..." Suddenly, Shen Siyan's face changed abruptly, his body trembled slightly, and he took a step back.

"What happened?" Seeing this, Ye Yunzi hurried into the room and supported him anxiously.

Shen Siyan looked abnormal at this moment, his face was flushed and his eyes were blurred under the dim light.

"Shen Siyan, are you okay?" Ye Yunzi asked worriedly.

A mysterious fragrance made Shen Siyan's heart beat faster, and an indescribable feeling made him want to hug the person in front of him. But when Ye Yunzi reached out to touch his forehead, Shen Siyan suddenly took a step back and shouted, "Don't come near me."

Ye Yunzi suddenly felt uneasy, and seeing the unusual blush on Shen Siyan's face, she realized that something was wrong. "What happened?" she asked anxiously.

At some point, the door had been quietly closed and locked, trapping them in. Shen Siyan continued to retreat, his breathing becoming rapid.

"Don't come over here, don't come over here," he repeated in a weak voice.

"Shen Siyan..." Ye Yunzi stopped, her heart filled with worry, "Tell me what's wrong, I won't get close to you."

Shen Siyan frowned and swayed, almost falling down.

Although Ye Yunzi wanted to go forward to help, she obeyed his request and kept her distance.

"Poisonous..." Shen Siyan finally said these two words with difficulty. Thinking of Ye Yunzi's gentle look just now, the fire in his heart seemed to be even more intense.

"Poison?" Ye Yunzi repeated in shock. The scene before her made her heart ache.

Ye Yunzi opened her eyes wide in surprise. Shen Siyan looked very abnormal, obviously he was poisoned by some kind of poison.

"I have to find Leng Xue and Ye Feng to help me." She was extremely anxious and walked quickly to the door and pushed it hard. But strangely, the door did not move at all, only making a crisp sound.

"What's going on?" She tried again, but still couldn't push it open.

It turned out that the door was locked from the outside.

"Oh no! Someone locked us in." Her face turned pale in an instant.
