A Jin still couldn't muster up her spirits, but she forced a smile and said, ”En, everything will be up to mother.”

After lunch, Su Zhi started to get busy again.

Following the example of the previous scouts, there were patrolling the courtyard as well.

Even if He Qiniang was nearby, she wouldn't be able to get in so easily.

At night, the temperature dropped even further.

Bi Yue's appetite had been low all day. She had entered the house long ago under Su Zhi's invitation.

A Jin and Little Dou Bao washed up and hid in their beds.

Su Zhi then looked at the injuries of her mother Ding and Dan Xue. She fed them medicinal pills, added two braziers to the room, opened the window and went back to her room.

I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well tonight. At night, I have to be on guard against He Qi Niang really burning down the courtyard, taking care of the two wounded, and comforting the two children.

Su Zhi sighed, hit her sore waist, wiped her hot feet, and quickly went to bed to comfort the two little ones.

”Jin, you're still awake?”

The little child hugged his sleepy sister as he vigilantly stared out of the window.

”What are you looking at? Go to sleep.”

A Jin shook her head and stubbornly said, ”No, I'm watching over my mother and sister. I'm not sleeping.”

Su Zhi's heart softened as she hugged her beloved son and kissed him fiercely.

”Don't be afraid. With mother here, no one can hurt you. Actually, today is not the worst ending. Both mother Ding and Dan Xue are fine. They will be full of vitality in a few days. ”

A Jin nodded, as if she understood something. However, her expression remained solemn.

”Good child, a person's entire life is a long time, there will be a lot of things that happen. But remember, no matter what happens, as long as all of us are fine and can still be together, it won't be the worst case scenario. ”You're still young and don't understand these things. You'll know when you're older.”

Su Zhi rubbed the child's small head and pinched his cheeks lovingly. ”Go to sleep, my mother is here.”

A Jin was also sleepy, and hearing her words, he didn't force himself to stay awake any longer. He fell down and closed his eyes.

”Dong, dong, dong!”

There was a clear knock on the door. The child who had just closed her eyes immediately sat up and stared out the window in alert. She took out a rolling pin from under her pillow and placed it in front of Su Zhi.

”Mother.”

Wearing a thin undergarment, he crawled out of bed shivering with cold.

Feeling pained, Su Zhi pulled him back into bed and comforted him, ”It's alright. Maybe he's from the yamen. I'll go take a look.”

”No, I don't want it!”

”Dong Dong Dong!” Someone knocked on the door again.

”Ah Zhi, it's me!” Open the door! ”

This voice belonged to, Xiao Qian!

”It's Uncle Xiao!”

A Jin was overjoyed. She put on her coat and ran out with Su Zhi.

Outside stood a dusty man in a black robe with a long sword at his waist and an imposing manner.

In the silence of the snowy night, it was as if a divine weapon had descended from the sky. It was extremely comforting.

When the door opened, Jin pounced on Xiao Qian, and her eyes reddened again.

”Uncle Xiao, you're finally back.”
