“Yes, the feeling of freezing to death.”
Can’t you say something nice?
Sitting in a sedan in this weather wasn’t that much more comfortable.
But only when Bu Yaolian sat inside did she understand that a sedan chair could be so luxurious and even pulled by a horse.
She lifted the curtain, and a cold wind blew in.
Bu Yaolian had low spiritual power to begin with, and so was even more afraid of the cold.
“Do you want to go play in this wind with an umbrella? That will really be a different feeling,” Su Shenfan asked in a mystified tone as he reclined on the couch.
Bu Yaolian shook her head. “No… I don’t. It feels like I’m freezing to death. Shao Zun, you have great foresight.”
“You should act within your own means. You don’t know what you’re made of, yet you’re in the mood to sympathize with others.”
Although Su Shenfan said this, he actually still cared for Bu Yaolian and had a carriage prepared.
Otherwise, Bu Yaolian would probably feel sorry for the people carrying the sedan chair.
She was truly stupid.
Bu Yaolian chuckled and snuggled into his arms. “Shao Zun is right.”
With Shao Zun around, she didn’t have to worry about being bullied, and she wasn’t the Bu Yaolian who was trampled on.
“I was bullied badly before. If I hadn’t met Princess Zi, I might be like them now, so…”
“Idiot, who dares bully my woman? Give me the names of the people who bullied you. I’ll send someone to kill them.” Su Shenfan spoke lightly, as if he was only joking.
However, there was cold killing intent in his eyes.
He didn’t care how other people lived, but he had to avenge his beauty.
“Too many. So many that I don’t remember.” Bu Yaolian lay in his arms. “The worst time was when my parents died to protect me…”
Su Shenfan’s hand paused, and his eyes grew even colder. “Who?”
“Several noble families worked together. They stole my mother’s treasure and took away my family’s land title. My family has low spiritual power; just money alone won’t get anything done. My parents died because of me. That year, I almost died in that disaster.”
Su Shenfan stroked her back. “How old were you that year?”
“Seven. The feeling of not being able to protect your family because you have no spiritual power is the worst.”
Su Shenfan narrowed his eyes. “Which families?”
Bu Yaolian shook her head. “Shao Zun, don’t make enemies of them for me. Even if you can help me, my family won’t be able to protect themselves once you get revenge. If they retaliate, my family will suffer even more.”
Su Shenfan snorted. “Can’t I protect your family?”
“You can, but if a big family has to rely on someone else for protection, even if it can’t protect itself, it will undermine their determination. My grandparents won’t allow it.”
“So, you’re letting your enemy go just like that?”
“No… Our family has been trying to become stronger all these years.”
“A family with low spiritual power can’t be strong.”
“I didn’t have a way in the past, but I think there’s still hope now. One day, my family will be able to avenge this blood feud on its own.”
Bu Yaolian’s eyes were firm.
“Tell me who the families are.” Su Shenfan didn’t give up.
His beauty’s parents were dead, and she had almost died herself – how could he tolerate that?
