Daxia is located in the north. Once it starts to snow, it will continue to snow for several days and nights.
The goose-feather heavy snow fell one after another. Ling Fei, who was suffering from the wind and cold and had a high fever, lay on the ground, unable to get up for a few moments. As soon as he had a conversation with Su Taoyao, his body was covered with a thin layer of snow.
Ling Fei felt that his hands and feet were slowly freezing, but looking at Su Taoyao's thin back without looking back when he left, he felt his heart become even colder.
He has disliked Su Taoyao, his unmarried sister-in-law, since he was a child. Maybe it's because children are more sensitive, or maybe it's because his parents passed away early. He has been precocious than his peers since he was a child, and is good at observing people's emotions.
He always felt that the way Su Taoyao looked at his brother was not pure. It was not just pure admiration, but also the same use and strong purpose as her father, Prime Minister Su Zuo.
It was because her brother had been outstanding since he was a child, and he had been winning battles since he was fifteen and was awarded the title of Young General. It was because his brother was useful that she fawned over him so much, just to be able to marry into the general's palace smoothly.
Be the general's wife.
But just now, when Su Taoyao said those words to him angrily, the sadness in her eyes was so real. Her red eyes were filled with tears. She held back several times when scolding him to prevent tears from falling.
Did she come to the wake because she really loved her brother?
Could it be that she let his second aunt in to divide the family property because she loved his brother too much and then turned her anger on him to teach him a lesson?
Ling Fei's mind was very confused.
The eldest brother died to save him. The last pillar of the General's Mansion fell, and the loyal family of the General's Mansion also fell with it.
His luxurious life and awe-inspiring power all collapsed that night, and he saw clearly the faces of too many people and forces overnight.
From the young master of the general's mansion who was sought after by everyone, he became a lost dog that everyone despised.
It was the first time that Ling Fei received such a blow. He couldn't adapt to it for a while, and his whole mind was in confusion.
But now, the figure of Su Taoyao abandoning him in the snow and striding away is real...
There were not many servants in the General's Mansion, but after his brother Ling Yun died, the news that he killed two second-rank ministers' sons on the flower boat spread throughout the capital in an instant.
These servants took advantage of him being unable to get up from bed due to severe cold and high fever, so they all snatched his contract and ran away.
Nonsense, otherwise, after the emperor issues an edict to interrogate Ling Fei, will he be buried with this idiot young master?
So now there is not a single servant in the General's Mansion.
He struggled to hold himself up with his sword and wanted to go back to the room, but the snow was too slippery and he had a high fever and had no strength. He got up three times and fell back hard three times.
He finally had no strength to get up anymore, so he lay on his back in the snow and closed his eyes against the falling snowflakes from the sky.
He thought that he might as well wait until he got downstairs to apologize to his brother.
Just when he started to feel a little desperate, there was a sudden sound of footsteps at the door of the courtyard.
His newly closed eyes opened slightly, and he thought who was going to ridicule him this time?
Fortunately, God seemed to be willing to give him a chance to start over this time. The person who came was his brother Ling Yun's old guard, who was later transferred back to the capital to become the commander of the Imperial Guard's Tianzi Team.
"Young Master Ling! Why are you lying in the snow?!"
As soon as Wei An arrived at the gate of the yard, he saw Ling Fei lying on his back in the snow.
He was so frightened that he ran over in a few steps. When he touched Ling Fei's forehead, he found that the temperature was so high that it was too hot to touch. He quickly carried Ling Fei back to the room.
He put Ling Fei into dry clothes, thickened the bedding, and burned charcoal in the cold room.
While guarding him, Wei An muttered: "You are still lying in the snow like this with such a high fever. You really don't want to die.
It's snowing so heavily outside, it's too dangerous. Fortunately, I came in time, otherwise you would freeze to death if you lay there any longer. Even if you didn't freeze to death, your hands and legs would have been frozen to death!
You said you, General Ling risked his life to save you, how could you ruin yourself like this?!"
Ling Fei opened his mouth and wanted to say that he wasn't lying in the snow on his own, but that he was pushed down in the snow because his second aunt and others took advantage of the crisis to divide the family property and grab things. He went out to argue.
But he didn't say anything in the end, because he knew that even if he did, it would be meaningless.
His brother, the general, is gone, and all his grievances are meaningless. No one will care, and no one will help him seek justice, because he is not important at all.
Ling Fei opened his mouth and said hoarsely with only his chapped lips: "Thank you, Brother Wei."
After saying that, he leaned back on the bed, staring straight at the yard outside the window in a daze, his whole person lifeless.
When Wei An saw Ling Fei like this, he seemed worried about leaving.
He simply sat on the edge of his bed, guarding the stove to boil hot water for him, and couldn't help but babbled: "Young Master Ling, there are some things I shouldn't say, but I still want to give you some advice.
,
You were protected by the distinguished military general Ling, so you had no worries and could do whatever you wanted every day.
But you are alone now, and you are the only one left in this general's mansion.
If you really want to live up to General Ling's life and save you, you should cheer up, make some achievements, and revive the lintel of the General's Mansion. It will definitely not be like this!"
Ling Fei finally withdrew his dazed gaze from outside the hospital, and his eyes regained focus.
After a while, he said to Wei An with a self-deprecating smile: "I didn't expect that when this kind of tree fell and the hozens scattered, Brother Wei, who is not really close to my brother on weekdays, would come over to see me overnight.
Not only did you save me, but you also taught me so patiently, but the only one who helped me in times of need was you, Brother Wei. Almost everyone was trying to make trouble for me..."
Wei An poured a cup of hot water for Ling Fei. He wanted to say something, but finally held back.
In the end, he just patted him on the shoulder and said: "Actually, no, you don't have to be so self-loathing. There are still people around you who care about you silently.
You don’t need to be too grateful to me. General Ling was kind to me in the past. All I can do is come to visit you late at night and tell you these things.
I'll ask a doctor to take a look at you later. No matter how much I have left, I can't help you anymore. I hope you can figure it out and cheer up soon. If it doesn't work, just turn your anger into strength!"
After Wei An arranged for him to leave, Ling Fei fell into deep thought.
For some reason, he thought of Su Taoyao's back after scolding him angrily, abandoning him in the snow, turning around and leaving without looking back.
He seemed to suddenly understand something, raised the corner of his mouth, and smiled coldly: "You said it so grandly, as if you really have a deep love for my eldest brother.
If she really has feelings for my elder brother, she should be like elder brother Wei, instead of calling the second aunt overnight to humiliate our Ling family!
Su Taoyao, don't let me stand up again, otherwise I won't be able to let you go!"
At this time, Su Taoyao was sitting cross-legged in the mourning hall wrapped in a quilt that she had found from a room in the General's Mansion, continuing to keep vigil.
Together with the slag elimination system, she observed Ling Fei's every move through the monitoring in the sea of consciousness.
The slag elimination system asked in confusion: "You obviously sent someone to invite Wei An using his leverage with Ling Yun, why didn't you let Wei An tell Ling Fei directly and let Ling Fei misunderstand you so much?
