Ye Shi’s body was not good. The energy she had held was gone. Now she had no strength at all. She sat in the snow and didn’t want to move. Her voice was particularly weak: “Mom is ok. Just let me rest for a while.”

Yang Xi was worried because her mother-in-law was in poor health. As far as she could remember, her mother-in-law died before she could return to her hometown. She was afraid that she would not be able to survive this time.

It was snowing heavily now, and many people were peeking nearby, but unfortunately, no one dared to come over or lend a hand. Soldiers were staring in the distance, and it seemed that only a few members of the Zhou family were left on the white street, making the Zhou family look particularly miserable and helpless.

Ye Shi was concerned about her daughter-in-law, who was pregnant. “Is Xi’er okay?”

Yang Xi felt that she was fine, only her arms were sore, “Mom, the child and I are fine.”

Ye Shi confirmed that her daughter-in-law was not lying, and silently prayed for her husband to bless her. She was also sad that she might not see the birth of her grandson or granddaughter. The more she thought about it, the more depressed she became, and she lost a lot of energy.

This scared Zhou Yu, “Mom, you are what Dad is most worried about. You can’t make Dad feel uneasy.”

Ye Shi wanted to cry when she thought of her husband. Her husband had had a hard time in the past two years. The Emperor was suspicious and treacherous, and good officials ran into obstacles everywhere. Now her husband finally couldn’t escape. “I understand. I won’t make your father uneasy.”

Lord Wang sat in the carriage and watched for a while. Wow, the Zhou family was so miserable. Now they were penniless and wearing mourning clothes. The whole family, young and old, guarded the coffin and suffered from the cold. He admired Lord Xu’s suggestion to the Emperor about confiscating the property in the mourning hall. It was simply brilliant. It really caught the Zhou family off guard and they didn’t even have a chance to hide their money.

Lord Wang couldn’t stand the days of poverty, so he told him about the miserable situation of the Zhou family!

Lord Wang had no idea that because of his arrogance, he didn’t search the body, and the Zhou family hid a lot of silver and money.

The snow kept falling heavily, and Zhou Yu was worried about his parents, wife, and children. They had to leave here quickly.

Zhou Yu stood up and said, “I’ll be away for a while.”

He wanted to tell his younger brother a few words, then looked at his wife, who had the same opportunity as him, and his wife made him feel more at ease, “Take good care of the children and mother.”

Yang Xi, “Okay.”

Yang Xi had thought a lot just now. Before she and her husband were reincarnated, they were an ancient family engraved in their bones. When their father-in-law asked them to return to their ancestral home, they obediently went back. This time, God helped them. They had received modern education and had broken through the concepts. This was the most precious wealth and confidence.

Yang Xi first comforted Zhou Xiaodi and Zhou Xiaomei. These two children had been spoiled since childhood and had never suffered any hardship. The past two days were too much of a blow to them.

Zhou Xiaomei leaned tightly against her sister-in-law. At this moment, her sister-in-law gave her a greater sense of security than her mother.

Yang Xi held Ziheng in her arms. It would be great if she had a cloak, as it would block the wind and snow. The little guy in her arms was already cold.

She was also a little cold. Officials and their families liked to wear thick cloaks when traveling in winter, which meant that even the thickest cotton-padded clothes were not too thick.

Yang Xi and the others didn’t say anything. They tried to stay close together to keep warm and conserve their energy.

Time passed by little by little, and Yang Xi’s mind did not rest. When she just came back, she just wanted to get through the difficulties of the house confiscation. Now she had time to think about the future. It really fulfilled the difficulty of the Internet hell. Now the northwest was empty due to natural disasters and plague. She wondered if the dynasty would be destroyed by natural disasters and diseases.

Suddenly, “Mom, Dad has been gone for a while. Is Dad in danger?”

Ziheng didn’t want to say anything, but he was afraid that something would happen to his father.

Yang Xi’s face was tense; she was also afraid. Lord Wang was targeting Zhou Yu, and since Zhou Yu was unharmed, Lord Wang wouldn’t be satisfied. She anxiously waited, praying over and over that nothing would go wrong!
