Chapter 467 The Female Supporting Character Who Was Reborn as a Female Cannon Fodder 12

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this, even Mother Xu couldn't help laughing.

After Sheng Huan washed up and changed his clothes, he started to eat in the house.

She was afraid of the cold, so even with the floor heating in the house it wasn't enough. Even if there was enough charcoal, she still had to wear a thick plush winter coat and skirt.

Sheng Huan did not go out the whole day. After all, he was weak, so he just stayed in the house reading some books, while the maid was sitting beside him doing needlework.

It was almost afternoon when Madam Li came over again.

She held a large bunch of red plums in her hands and saluted with a festive smile.

"My lady, it's not snowing today, and the plum blossoms on the farm are in full bloom. I know that you haven't gone out yet, so I cut a few branches and brought them here. You can put them in the house and enjoy them."

Sheng Huan's eyes fell on the red plum blossoms: "They are indeed blooming beautifully, Ji Le, put them in a vase and put them on the table."

"Yes, ma'am."

When Ji Le heard the order, he went and got a bottle.

Once the vase was placed, the table looked beautiful, and there was a faint cool fragrance coming over, which was particularly pleasant.

As the manager of the farm, Madam Li was naturally good at doing housework, and she dared not neglect her when facing the young lady of the host family.

"Miss, you must go to the hot spring today. I asked the servant to bring some charcoal. If you feel cold, you can light the charcoal to keep warm."

Sheng Huan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and refused: "Forget it today."

She flipped through the book in her hand casually, and perhaps because she was bored, she asked Madam Li: "I had a very comfortable bath in the hot spring yesterday. By the way, Madam Li, do you know if the people from the other farm will go to the hot spring? If I run into them, I'm afraid I'll hear any noise."

Mrs. Li thought the girl was just being shy, so she explained, "Don't worry, miss. The wall is thick and you can't hear any sound."

When Sheng Huan heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and the wall with the hole in it appeared in his mind again.

Madam Li had no idea what Sheng Huan was thinking, so she continued, "Also, young lady, you don't know, I've never seen anyone go to the hot springs across the street, and the lights over there have never been turned on, so young lady, don't worry."

"what?"

Sheng Huan was surprised: "Madam Li, you said before that this manor and the manor on the other side were originally one, then do you know who is the owner of the manor on the other side?"

This made Madam Li feel awkward. She smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, young lady, I don't know who the owner of the farm is. I have also met the servants of the farm, but every time I asked, they would avoid me. I also didn't see any carriages going out or coming to the door. I knew they wouldn't tell me, so I didn't ask any more questions."

Sheng Huan heard this, pinched the paper, and said casually: "Have you never seen a stranger go to the farm next door?"

Madam Li thought about it, and then she slapped her head and said, "Miss, I really remember it now. It seems to be yesterday evening. Yes, it was yesterday evening. There really was a man on horseback who came to the door opposite. But it was too late, so I didn't see the details clearly."

"Ah, it's true." Sheng Huan acted interested: "I really admire people who ride horses in such a cold weather. They are really not afraid of the cold. Then Madam Li, remember, if you see someone riding a horse away from the opposite side, let me know. I'm curious whether he is still riding a horse after leaving."

The second half of Sheng Huan's sentence immediately dispelled Lady Li's doubts, and she thought that maybe the young lady was really new to this situation.

-

Time flies, and a few days have passed in the blink of an eye.

These days, Sheng Huan hasn't gone up the mountain to soak in the hot springs. Mother Xu knows that Sheng Huan might have been frightened by the last mistake, so she didn't urge him.

Sheng Huan's days at the farm were very comfortable. After all, there were no elders here, and he didn't have to get up early in the morning to pay his respects to them.

It was a rainless and snowless day, and the temperature was pretty good. Sheng Huan put on a thick winter coat and skirt. Before going out, Mother Xu brought her an even thicker white plush cloak and she put it on, then went out to play.

As soon as you come out, you will see that it is not all white at first glance. There are many large trees with lost leaves, bare and strange in shape, which is very abstract art, forming a sharp contrast with the bright red plum forest.

"Miss, the plum blossoms here are so beautiful!"

Arriving at Merlin, Jilanjile could not hide his excitement.

Sheng Huan held the hand warmer and said, "It is indeed blooming very well."

She shuttled among the plum blossoms, and there were a few more bright plum blossoms in her hands.

"When we return home, we'll bring some red plums back for mother and the others. The red plums in the farm have a different flavor than those in the capital."

As we walked into Merlin, we heard the excited voices of several children in front of us. Snowballs were shaking and hitting each other, which was very interesting.

A few children noticed Sheng Huan and ran over to greet him stiffly.

"Hello, my dear."

Sheng Huan raised his hand and smiled kindly: "You don't have to be restrained. I'm here to enjoy the plum blossoms as well. It's fun to watch you guys playing snowballs. Go ahead and play."

She smiled so amiably and without any distance, and the children began to relax. They were a little restrained at first, but then they started to have fun.

Later, somehow things developed, but Jilanjile also joined the group of children, and Shenghuan built a snowman in the open space nearby.

-

The other end.

Emperor Chengyu was also practicing sword on the top of the mountain. When he retracted his sword, the snow on the trees fell down in large flutters.

He returned to the house and wiped his sword with a piece of cloth: "Has anyone been to the hot spring in the past few days?"

He asked this abruptly, but soon a hidden guard appeared on one knee on the ground.

"Master, no one has been to the hot spring these days."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chengyu fell silent again, as if he had just asked casually.

-

Sheng Huan had a great time today. After washing up and going to bed, he circulated his spiritual power to recuperate.

As the night deepened, her spiritual power began to circulate faster, and she began to feel a warm and moist feeling surrounding her body that did not subside for a while. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xu's mother happened to come in from outside, which led to the subsequent misunderstanding.

In the second half of the night, all the lights in the farm were on, the servants were pacing anxiously, and the hot water was boiling non-stop.

Sheng Huan was lying on the bed. Jilan Jile anxiously twisted a handkerchief to cool her down. The doctor invited from outside took her pulse and started to prescribe medicine.

Mother Xu touched Sheng Huan's forehead with self-blame.

"It's all our fault. The young lady is weak to begin with. It's fine if she got cold today, but it's even colder when she builds a snowman. Even a body made of iron can't stand it."

She said in a serious tone: "Miss, you came to the manor to soak in the hot springs and recuperate. We can't put the cart before the horse."

The young lady has been ill since she fell into the water last time. She should have thought of this earlier!

-

The news that the neighbor called for a doctor in the middle of the night alarmed Di Chengyu.

After sending the secret guards to find out the details, he fell silent.

The hidden guard continued: "Master, I have checked and found that the girl is indeed weak. She must have been suffering from a cold. I think she came to the manor to recuperate in the hot springs."

Emperor Chengyu closed the memorial and said calmly, "I have been out of the palace for many days. It is time for me to return."

He said casually: "After all, it's a neighboring village. Tomorrow you..."

-

The next day.

When Sheng Huan woke up, the heat in his body had already dissipated.

She looked at Xu's mother and Jilan Jile, whose eyes were red, and sighed inwardly, comforting them dryly: "I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Mother Xu shook her head: "Miss, the New Year is coming soon, and you will be back home soon. We can't do this about the hot springs..."

Before Mother Xu could finish her words, Madam Li walked in from outside the door carrying an exquisite box.

She bowed and said, "Miss, the owner of the farm next door heard that our farm had hired a doctor that night, and knew that you were ill. Thinking that you were a neighbor, he asked his servants to bring some blood-replenishing cakes over."

Madam Li sighed: "But their master is really busy. I heard from the housekeeper next door that their master left the manor this morning to return to his hometown to celebrate the New Year. I don't know when he will come next time."

Sheng Huan's eyes moved slightly when he heard this.
