Inside the carriage, Xiao Nanye did not even look outside. After he handed the teacup in his hand to Jiang Peihuan, he immediately pulled down the curtain.

“Han Feng, tell them to move aside!” Xiao Nanye looked ordered Han Feng,

“Yes! You Highness.”

The carriage moved on quickly as the Lin family members were all pushed to the sides of the road.

Madam Lin stayed beside Lin Mengyao the whole time. Watching the departing carriage, she couldn’t help but rub her arms, “Yao Er, what should we do next? Where will we stay? And, can we find a carriage first? It’s so cold.”

Voices kept ringing in her ears, but Lin Mengyao’s gaze involuntarily landed on Jiang Peihuan’s carriage.

It was only when the carriage disappeared around the corner that Lin Mengyao shifted her gaze away.

As for the matters of the Lin family, Jiang Peihuan didn’t care.

They would have no connection with her anymore.

The carriage went straight to plum garden. Just as Jiang Peihuan was about to alight, she noticed that Xiao Nanye had already stepped out and was extending his hand towards her.

After taking the man’s hand and getting out of the carriage, Jiang Peihuan said to Ye Xiao, “Ask the kitchen to prepare some hot soup.”

“Yes. Miss.”

“Go in and sit first. It’s too cold outside.”

After Ye Xiao left, Jiang Peihuan turned her attention to Xiao Nanye.

The man remained silent, nodding, and followed Jiang Peihuan into a nearby hall.

As soon as Jiang Peihuan entered, a white shadow pounced on her.

Jiang Peihuan stretched out her arms and embraced it.

“Xiao Bai, your leg hasn’t healed yet. Don’t move too much, understand?”

While holding Xiao Bai, Jiang Peihuan carefully checked its injuries. Seeing that the wound was not serious.

Xiao Bai stuck out his tongue and licked her hand.

“1’11 have someone build a wooden house for it in the mansion,” she said.

Sitting opposite Jiang Peihuan, Xiao Nanye observed Xiao Bai’s actions and quietly remarked to Jiang Peihuan.

Seeing her look of confusion, he explained.

“When we get married, Xiao Bai will certainly come with us to the mansion.

That’s why I’m arranging a house for it.”

“No need, just let it stay in the room.”

“A grown white wolf can weigh up to 300 pounds. You want it in the room?”

“This cuttie?”

Xiao Bai, still a young wolf cub in her arms, Jiang Peihuan hesitated.

She could hold the current Xiao Bai with both arms and had not really considered what a 300-pound Xiao Bai would look like.

“We need to stop feeding Xiao Bai cooked food. It’s a wolf, after all, we cannot raise it like a dog.”

Initially, when Jiang Peihuan brought Xiao Bai home, Xiao Nanye intended it to protect her. The incident with the colorful snake proved Xiao Bai’s loyalty.

But looking at the grilled meat on the ground, Xiao Nanye’s eyes showed a hint of helplessness.

It was a wolf without any wild nature.

Jiang Peihuan continuously staring at him, Xiao Nanye’s voice grew softer, “This is for Xiao Bai’s own good. Though it likes you. It is still a wolf.”

“Yes, you’re right. I’ll ask Yue Er to gradually prepare raw meat for it.”

“Miss, the hot soup is ready.”

At this moment, Jian Peihuan’s door was pushed open and Ye Xiao walked in with two bowls of hot soup and some pastries.

After placing the items on the table, Ye Xiao left.

Xiao Bai became alert.

Jiang Peihuan knew it wanted some. Normally, she would have fed it already, but she placed Xiao Bai on the ground, saying, “It’s sweet, you can’t eat it.”

Xiao Bai whimpered.

“If you keep whining, out you go!”

Xiao Nanye passed the tableware to Jiang Peihuan. Hearing Xiao Bai’s whimper, he spoke sternly.

It immediately lay quietly in a corner.

“Aren’t you drinking?”

Taking the soup spoon from Xiao Nanye’s hand, Jiang Peihuan noticed that he hadn’t touched his food. A trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.

“I’ll drink.”

Upon hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Xiao Nanye picked up his utensils.

He didn’t particularly enjoy sweets. However, seeing the relaxed expression on Jiang Peihuan’s face, he still tasted the sweet soup.

“Give it a try.”

Jiang Peihuan had noticed long ago that Xiao Nanye didn’t have a penchant for overly sweet things.

Upon her recommendation, Xiao Nanye took a sip of the soup. Its taste was unlike any he had tried before.

It was mildly sweet, but the aroma was pronounced.

He softly commented, “The flavor of this sweet soup is quite good.”

“This is a special recipe my mother prepared for my father.”

“In the past, during winter in the military camp, my father used to cough a lot. My mother would make this sweet soup. Since my father was not fond of sweets, she added only a little sweetness.”

“The first lady and the great general shared deep affection.”

Hearing Xiao Nanye’s words, a hint of a smile appeared in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes.

In her previous life, her entire Jiang family tragically perished, and Jiang Peihuan initially vowed never to trust men again. But every time she saw Jiang Hong and Xue Yan, she believed that there were still people in this world who cherished love, just like her father and mother.

Or her third uncle and third aunt.

“Young miss, it’s getting late. You should rest.”

The door was opened again, and Ye Xiao walked in with hot water.

The man said softly,” 1’11 go back first. Don’t go out of the city too early tomorrow. Wait for me to pick you up.”

“Alright.”

She nodded directly.

After Xiao Nanye left, Jiang Peihuan lay down on the bed.

Xiao Bai jumped up onto her bed.

Recalling what Xiao Nanye had told her, Jiang Peihuan initially wanted to send Xiao Bai down, but seeing the injury on Xiao Bai’s leg, she hugged it in her arms.

That night, snow fell continuously. Jiang Peihuan was awakened in the early morning by the sound of knocking.

“Eldest Miss, did 1 wake you up?”

The one who entered was Yue Er.

Holding hot water in her hands and helping Jiang Peihuan sit up, Yue Er softly inquired.

“Who’s making such a noise outside?”

“Eldest Miss, Miss Lin has arrived. She wishes to see you.”

“Miss Lin?”

Yue Er whispered, “It’s Miss Lin Mengyao.”

Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan’s brows furrowed.

Thinking about Jiang Peihuan’s past relationship with Xiao Junhao, and then considering Lin Mengyao’s current relationship with him, Yue Er suggested. “If you don’t wish to see her, 1’11 have her away immediately.”

Saying this, Yue Er prepared to leave. However, she heard Jiang Peihuan’s voice from behind, “Let her in..”
