Ning Dao Covered with Snow

The breeze blew on his cheeks, and the heat on Yan Ciwan's face gradually dissipated.

She noticed that her clothes were covering the fumigation cage and asked curiously, "Didn't A-Lu take these clothes back to be washed? Why are they here?"

Xiao Wang replied: "I asked her to leave the clothes behind."

Yan Ciwan looked at the clean clothes. After a night of drying, the clothes were basically dry.

She thought of Xiao Wang's red fingers from being frozen, and suddenly she understood everything.

This was not the first time Xiao Wang had washed clothes for her. She lowered her eyes and whispered, "Thank you, but from now on, I'll do the rough work of washing clothes myself."

Xiao Wang was not her servant. He came from a prominent family and had been well-read since childhood. His hands should be used for reading, writing and painting, not doing these meaningless and rough work for her.

Xiao Wang said: "When your injury is healed, you can wash your clothes yourself, but before that, please let me take care of you."

Yan Ciwan pursed her lips and said, "My leg is injured, not my hand. I only need to use my hands to wash clothes. I can do it myself."

"But the well water is very cold this day. You can't stand it."

“I can wash clothes in hot water.”

Xiao Wang reminded: "Hot water can't wash away the blood stains, you have to use cold water."

Yan Ciwan was stunned, she had no idea about this.

Xiao Wang sighed. She was a princess before, and it was normal for her to not know such things. He said, "You are injured now, so it is natural for me to take care of you. You don't have to feel any burden about it."

Yan Ciwan glanced at his hands. She actually felt sorry for what he had done. After all, his body had not fully recovered yet and he needed to rest well.

But these words were too disgusting and she couldn't say them.

She said, "You have done enough for me. Go and have a rest. I am in good spirits now. You can fix the holes in your clothes yourself."

Xiao Wang was a little worried: "Can you mend clothes?"

Yan Ciwan had never done needlework before, but she felt that it should not be a difficult task. It didn't matter even if the mending turned out a bit ugly, because she would wear it herself anyway, as long as she didn't mind.

So she nodded: "I will!"

Xiao Wang still couldn't be completely reassured.

He took out the needle and thread, put the dried clothes in front of Yan Ciwan, and asked her to sew two stitches first.

Yan Ciwan had no choice but to bite the bullet and pick up the needle and thread. She gestured at the hole in the clothes for a long time before she hesitantly inserted the needle. As a result, she pricked her finger directly, and she gasped in pain.

Xiao Wang quickly asked her to let go, then took out a towel to help her wipe the blood off her fingers.

Yan Ciwan was very embarrassed and tried to defend himself: "It's because the needle and thread don't work well. I'm not used to it. Let me try again. It will be fine once I get used to it."

Xiao Wang let go of her hand only after her fingers stopped bleeding. He picked up the needle and thread and clothes, sat in a chair on the other side, and said helplessly.

"If you're not used to it, then don't use it. I can fix this small hole quickly."

Yan Ci Wan stretched his neck to look, and saw Xiao Wang threading the needle skillfully. The movement was indescribably pleasing to the eye.

She couldn't help asking, "How come you can do something like mending clothes? Where did you learn it?"

"When I was practicing Taoism with my master, there was no one to serve me, so I had to do many things by myself. I learned the skill of mending clothes from my master."

Yan Ciwan saw that the hole in the clothes was quickly mended, with fine and neat stitches, but Xiao Wang felt that it was not beautiful enough, so she pinched another strand of silk thread and embroidered a little swallow on the mended area. This swallow just happened to fit Yan Ciwan's name, and she looked at the lively and agile swallow and praised it sincerely.

“Your embroidery is really good!”

Xiao Wang handed the clothes to her: "Take a look at it and see if you like it. If not, I can make some changes."

Yan Ciwan hugged the clothes: "It looks good, I like it very much!"

Xiao Wang put away his needle and thread. At this time, Uncle Jiu came with a tray in his hand. On the tray was a freshly boiled medicine and a small dish of candied fruit.

Xiao Wang returned to the house with the tray and handed the medicine to Yan Ciwan.

Yan Ciwan pinched his nose as usual and drank it all in one gulp, feeling it was so bitter.

Xiao Wang picked up a candied fruit and brought it to her mouth.

Yan Ciwan simply opened his mouth, bit the candied fruit and put it into his mouth.

The door was not closed tightly, and Uncle Jiu, who was standing outside, felt extremely complicated when he saw this scene.

He felt that Yan Ci Wan was not the best candidate for Xiao Wang's wife, but the atmosphere between the two of them was so harmonious, as if they were a match made in heaven, that people couldn't bear to separate them.

Uncle Jiu really didn't know what to do. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to write a letter to inform Mr. Xiao about the matter. Mr. Xiao was knowledgeable and would surely have a solution.

Not long after Uncle Jiu left, Si Buping arrived.

He walked into the room, his eyes wandered over Yan Ciwan's face, and seeing that she looked good, he said, "It seems that you are fine now, so I am relieved."

Yan Ciwan was still thinking about the Five Gods Sect. She asked, "Has the envoy been captured?"

"No, the guards chased him for a long time, but he finally got away."

Yan Ciwan was quite disappointed: "Is that so? What a pity."

Si Buping continued, "We found the roster in the mirage. If we search according to the roster, we can capture all the followers of the Five Gods Sect in Yizhou. In this way, the influence of the Five Gods Sect in Yizhou will be eradicated, and we can report to the Saint."

Yan Ciwan's heart moved, and he asked, "Is your name on the roster?"

Si Buping knew what she was thinking and said directly, "No."

This result was within Yan Ciwan's expectations. People of the level of the Honored Envoy and the Divine Shaman would never easily let others know their true identities. Therefore, Yan Ciwan just sighed and was not very disappointed.

She then asked, "What about the thank you gift?"

Si Buping's expression became subtle, and he smiled meaningfully: "The roster not only includes Xie Li's name, but also the names of other members of the Xie family. After counting, there are a total of 32 people, which includes almost all the living male members of the Xie family."

"Then thank you Tanyu..."

"His name is not on the roster."

Yan Ciwan said: "It seems that what Manager Ge said is true. Xie Tanyu rejected the recruitment of the Five Gods Sect."

"Xie Tanyu once reported to the emperor that there was a Five Gods Sect in Yizhou. He had long been at odds with the Five Gods Sect and would never have joined it. But all of his clansmen have become members of the Five Gods Sect."

Si Buping showed a mocking look on his face when he said this. Xie Tanyu had worked so hard to eliminate the saint's suspicion, but he didn't expect that other people in the Xie family didn't understand his painstaking efforts at all and destroyed all the results of his years of hard work. After this incident, the Xie family will completely disappear from this world, and the saint will definitely not give them any chances again.
