When she came back to the room, Eleven was sprawled on the floor, clutching his face and sobbing.

When her lover saw this, she had already guessed about seventy to eighty percent of the situation. However, she did not point it out. She only went up to help Eleven up and comforted him, "It's been hard on you, Eleven."

"It's no trouble to work for Miss." He replied with misty tears in his eyes.

Her lover looked at her with a smile, and said: "En, En, this time, 11 was really amazing to be able to endure humiliation like this … "I say, 11 years, it's almost time to eat …" After a busy day, I still haven't eaten dinner.

Anyway, life had to go on, didn't it?

Eleven sneaks to his feet and walks out with his chest puffed up, looking very righteous. He's like a heroine who has built her meritorious service for the nation, even if he loses, he's honorable.

Her lover did not reveal any other emotions, but continued to smile and look heartless.

The days had returned to the calm of the past.

Day after day.

Month after month.

Spring passed, summer ended, autumn ended, and winter came.

Time was just a symbol in this unchanging life. Eleven also gradually forgot about the humiliation he had suffered last time and started babbling again, spreading gossip about who was favored and who accompanied the prince on his travels. At noon, his loyal uncle chopped at the firewood he seemed to have never finished chopping, and said to the drowsy Yi, "Princess …" "Good morning!" As for the other girl, ever since the swing had been destroyed by Helan Xue's brute force, she had instructed her husband to make a rocking chair and move it under the sun all day long. Then, she would follow the shadow of the sun and bask in the sun.

However, this sunbathing day seemed to be getting more and more difficult. Because the winter had arrived, the sun's sunshine was short and the weather was as sharp as knives.

During this period of time, He Lan Xue really didn't come back again. On the contrary, Pei Ruochen came a few times.

When Pei Ruochen came, she did not stay for long. Sometimes, she would just sit idly for a while, basking in the sun with her lover, and listen to some nonsense that she spoke. Sometimes he was forced to be a mannequin by his wife — despite the paintings she had made, she had never let him see them.

Another time, Pei Ruochen came with a jade zither in her arms. She only said that the small courtyard was too lonely. If her lover could learn a bit of zither, it would be easier for her to pass the boring time.

She nodded her head smilingly, then took a sip and looked at Pei Ruochen, who was playing the zither. Her slender fingers lightly tapped the strings of the zither, and the music slipped out like water. When Pei Ruochen played with the zither, her expression was especially beautiful, with an elegant concentration, as if her entire face was covered in a halo.

She seemed not to listen to his teachings. She only smiled at him.

Later on, she also wanted to practice her zither. After three days of noise, there were no more sounds. She ran out to bask in the sun, and Pei Ruochen never came back.

That was in the fall.

It was now winter.

It was late in the afternoon and a cloud was rolling in. She wrapped her little cotton jacket tightly around her and called out, "Uncle Zhong."

Thus, Uncle Zhong ran over. He raised his head to look at the sky and said worriedly, "I'm afraid there's a blizzard."

The words "blizzard" caused her to cower for a moment.

It wasn't that she was afraid of bad weather. In her previous life, she had been trapped on the highway during a snowstorm and was just as fearless.

But there's a heater in the car, and here...

The coal and quilts that should have been distributed to her were all taken away by the unscrupulous steward.

As the weather grew colder, even someone as strong as Yi Ren had to endure insomnia.

The thin silk really could not withstand the winter heat. Every time she fell asleep, she would wake up with a bone-chilling cold. It was so repetitive that it was unable to provide her the sleeping time she needed. She was in a drowsy state for almost the entire day.

However, the sun was shining brightly these days, and the girl could sleep in the sun, but if there was a blizzard —

Her lover was cold.
