Di Yelei and Liu Sisi rode on, taking the small path outside the bookstore to head home.

The snow grew heavier, almost blinding their eyes.

The horses were cautious as they ran, fearing that a slip might cause them to fall.

“Wait! Stop!” Liu Sisi shouted.

Di Yelei quickly reined in his horse and looked back: “What’s the matter, Sisi?”

“The snow is too heavy. It’s not too bad here, but how can we cross the wind hole in the mountain hollow later? Let’s not go home. Let’s turn back! Let’s go back to the bookstore to rest for the night and head directly to the county tomorrow.”

Within a short moment, the heavy snow fell upon their clothes, forming small pockets.

Looking up at the sky, all they could see was a silvery white.

Di Yelei reached out and touched Liu Sisi’s cold little hand and quickly held it in his palm.

After thinking for a while, he said: “That’s a good idea. The snow this year is really unusual, too heavy. But this jujube red horse … will have to go hungry tonight.”

As he spoke, he tightened the reins and turned back towards the bookstore.

Although he had an instinctive hostility towards Nan Tianzong, going to the bookstore to rest meant staying on the other’s territory.

But after a few days of repeated investigation, the deeper he dug into the other’s identity, the more frightened he became. Eventually, he traced it back to the current Eighth Prince. However, various warnings followed – even the County Magistrate Su came to him, and he realized that he had touched some hidden secrets that should not be touched.

Only then did he stop his investigation, thought for a while, and maintained a suitable distance from Nan Tianzong to observe him.

The two quickly returned to the bookstore and entered directly from the back door. The jujube red horse was tied outside the house, and the warmth enveloped them as soon as they stepped inside.

Liu Sisi’s face was pale from exhaustion and cold.

Di Yelei didn’t care about anything else and quickly tidied up Di Cheng’s usual bed, spread the quilt, and helped her lie down.

“The conditions here are limited, Di Cheng is frugal, and besides the quilt you bought for him, there doesn’t seem to be any extra quilts here.” Di Yelei said as he flipped over the cabinet where the quilts were stored, finding a tattered cotton wadding in the end.

“It’s alright, this cotton quilt is warm enough, use those cotton waddings for the jujube red horse,” said Liu Sisi casually.

“That’s what I was thinking too.”

As Di Yelei spoke, he left the room. By the time he returned after a round of preparations, Liu Sisi had already taken a short nap.

Feeling warm, Liu Sisi suddenly felt refreshed.

“Something strange happened today. Madam Gan Senior didn’t talk to me alone, how odd.”

“Of course she didn’t talk to you, because she talked to me.”

Di Yelei took off his clothes and lay down beside Liu Sisi, hugging her small body in his arms: “After you and Miss of Gan Family left, Lord Gan and Madam Gan Senior talked to me. They asked about some things from our past.”
