After provoking the holy maiden of Miao territory, she was infected with a love curse.

Yin Mansion.

Qingmei was so happy last night that she didn't sleep all night.

She had already learned from the letter that Yin Huaixi was coming back, so she couldn't sleep at all.

"Sister Qingmei, why are you up so early today?"

The maid on the early shift was caught off guard when she saw Qingmei push open the door, and she was full of surprise.

Qingmei serves the Third Miss, and her schedule is extremely irregular, always following the Third Miss's lead.

Therefore, staying up late and waking up late is a common occurrence.

The little maid got up at the crack of dawn, a sight she had never seen before; it was as if the sun had risen in the west.

"Quickly notify the people to clean up the yard. Sweep up the snow and everything that needs to be swept, but make sure the Third Miss doesn't get tripped up."

After saying those words, Qingmei was left with only her back turned.

The maidservant scratched her head: "Sweeping away the snow, we do that every day... Wait, no!"

"What Sister Qingmei just said was... that the Third Miss is coming back?!"

The news spread like wildfire.

When Qingmei arrived at the gate of the Yin residence, all the maids and servants in the Yin household who had no work to do rushed over.

The third young lady had indeed been away from home for some time. They originally thought that she might not be able to spend this reunion year at home, but to their surprise, she rushed back before the new year.

Having already heard the news, Yin Baishuang stood outside the door waiting, carrying a hot water bottle.

During the days since her sister disappeared, Yin Baishuang has been living in constant fear and anxiety, praying to Buddha and making countless prayers.

There's never any peace in my heart.

When Yin Baishuang received the letter written by Yin Huaixi himself, she almost burst into tears, but she managed to hold them back and not shed a single tear.

After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, just as dawn was breaking, the slow sound of wheels approached from afar.

The gates of the Yin residence were wide open, and Yin Baishuang stepped out, accompanied by four guards, in case anything unexpected happened outside the gates.

The carriage slowly came to a stop, and the driver loosened the reins.

The curtain moved slightly.

A slender hand, like the finest white jade, emerged.

"elder sister."

"I'm back."

When facing her elder sister, Yin Huaixi's voice would unconsciously carry a sweet, honey-like tone.

Yin Huaixi's words made her overjoyed.

Before Yin Baishuang could speak or even greet her, her silly younger sister turned around and offered her warm palm to the carriage curtain.

"Ah Che, there's a lot of snow, be careful the roads are slippery."

"Just hold me up."

Once he has a wife, he completely forgets about his elder sister.

That little girl really has no heart.

Chen Wan's familiar figure appeared before Yin Baishuang once again. However, this time, Chen Wan was no longer dressed in the coarse linen clothes of the Han people. She was wearing an extremely beautiful indigo dress, adorned with silver ornaments that were dazzling to the eye.

The crisp, ringing sound stunned everyone in the Yin household. The little maid holding the broom was even more dumbfounded, dropping it onto the snow.

Is this still the same Chen Wan who usually keeps quiet to herself?

This is clearly a fairy descended to earth!

The cloak that Sang Che was wearing was clearly Yin Huaixi's clothing. Upon closer inspection, Yin Baishuang saw that Yin Huaixi's fingers were tightly gripping Sang Che's wrist, as if she wouldn't let go.

Has her sister's love potion really been removed?

"Greetings, Master of the Family."

Slowly approaching Yin Baishuang, Sang Che still spoke in Chen Wan's tone, but the most significant change was naturally the unrestrained aura emanating from her entire body.

That bone-chilling cold, like a snowy landscape, was what Yin Baishuang was most wary of.

The Miao people are truly unpredictable.

Sometimes she really wondered if the love curse had never been removed at all, and whether her sister's mind had been completely controlled by the love curse, which was why she went to save this Miao woman time and time again despite all the difficulties and dangers.

Yin Baishuang: "No need for formalities, let's go inside and talk."

"I've had a stove and food prepared. Come in and have something hot to warm you up."

"Let's sit down and talk about it."

Hearing that her elder sister had arranged everything, Yin Huaixi moved closer to Yin Baishuang and said with a smile, "I knew that my elder sister treated me the best. As soon as I came back, she brought out all the good things."

Having endured wind and rain along the way, it's easy to imagine that Yin Huaixi must have suffered a lot. Yet, she remained silent, immediately taking her sister's arm and only sharing good news, not bad.

Using her index finger to poke Yin Huaixi's temple, Yin Baishuang scolded him impatiently, "Eating, eating, eating! All you can think about is food! Who told you to go into those deep mountains and forests? You're starving, you deserve it!"

Yin Huaixi chuckled shyly, her face practically screaming, "Elder sister, praise me!"

"Elder sister, I'm not going there for fun."

"My medical skills have improved even more after this trip into the mountains!"

Nonsense, spending her days on the mountain carrying a hoe, searching for medicinal herbs for Sang Che to brew medicine, her medical skills have skyrocketed.

It must be said that practice makes perfect; a lifetime of theoretical study will only teach you the basics.

The intimate relationship between Yin Baishuang and Yin Huaixi immediately caught the eye of Sang Che, who was following behind them.

Even though he knew that Yin Baishuang was Yin Huaixi's older sister, Sang Che still stared at the two of them leaning on each other with a sense of loss.

My throat is dry and itchy.

Sang Che gently clenched her fist and coughed twice behind Yin Huaixi, a move that successfully attracted Yin Huaixi's attention.

She immediately stepped back from Yin Baishuang's side, took a few steps back, and hurriedly came to Sang Che's side.

"Ah Che, are you alright?"

"Is it too cold outside?"

These past few days, Sang Che's condition has been fluctuating, and Yin Huaixi has been very worried. She now wishes she could keep a close eye on Sang Che every single hour.

They were terrified that something might happen to Sang Che, no matter how small.

Yin Huaixi warmly touched his cold palms and backs of his hands, the warmth dispelling the chill. Sang Che shook his head.

"It's nothing, I just got out of the carriage and the temperature difference was too big, so I feel a little dizzy and my throat is dry."

"I can manage the rest."

"Huaixi, you don't need to worry about me like this."

One polite remark after another was heard by Yin Baishuang. She had already suspected that Sang Che had deliberately chosen to cough when Yin Huaixi walked up to her.

She just wanted to lure her sister away.

It's true that the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is, and the more cunning she is.

Yin Baishuang did not call her sister back, letting the two of them talk behind her.

The maids also quickly moved aside.

To this day, they rack their brains but still can't figure out what Chen Wan's background is.

This clothing is something only people from the Miao region would wear. Could it be that Chen Wan's father is a respected Miao person?

Besides, the Third Miss has always treated Chen Wan very well, and the maids have long been familiar with her, so there's nothing to be surprised about.

But the head of the family treated her with such unpredictable temper, sometimes good and sometimes bad.

When things were good, they were truly good. The head of the family would instruct someone to take over and push all the work that Chen Wan should have done onto someone else, turning a blind eye to everything.

The maid in charge would also receive an extra reward afterward.

When things are bad, that's probably how it is; you almost want to ignore Chen Wan.

"Huaixi, the road is too white... I can't see very clearly, please hold my hand tightly, okay?"

Hearing the gentle voice beside her, Yin Huaixi held Sang Che even tighter, as if afraid that he would get lost.

"Okay, I'll hold your hand tightly."

"I will always hold your hand."

She would never let go of Sang Che's hand, not even until the end of the road.
