No need to be surprised. If you use your brain a little bit, you will know that this fire is related to your eldest lady.

Zhelan looked at the prairie fire being chased by the wind and couldn't suppress the fear in her eyes.

Jin Shu looked at the girl, then at the fire that was going away, and just patted Zhelan's arm to give her some comfort.

On a cold night in the twelfth lunar month, few farmers would be waiting for work in the village. Most of them would spend the winter in their own homes and wait for the Chinese New Year.

When the carriage returned to the bamboo house, a dog barked in the distance, and then someone yelled and banged on the door.

Tian Da's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Xu, gasped and asked, "Jiu Jin, where is Miss Ning?"

"Asleep." Jiu Jin, wrapped in a coat, replied slowly.

"I don't know why there's water over there. You must guard the door and don't let the girl come out."

"OK."

"As long as everything is fine here. I have to go there and have a look. Oh my god, how can water flow in such a weather? I hope those two nobles are fine..." Xu's mother ran away chattering.

Jiu Jin closed the door and turned around to see the eldest lady standing in the corridor.

"Miss..."

"Jiu Jin, go to sleep." Ying Ning's voice was soft, not trembling at all due to the biting cold wind.

Just looking at her expression and face at this moment, one would never have imagined what kind of thing she had just done.

Jiujin was very obedient, nodded, and went back to his room.

Ying Ning stood alone in the corridor, gathered her cloak, and looked at the sky in the distance, illuminated by the fire.

Zhelan and Jinshu stood not far away, looking at her back, unable to explain how they felt.

"Do you feel that the girl seems to have changed?" Zhelan said softly.

"Yes. After all... something like this happened. Who can face it calmly? Not to mention our girl's status." Jinshu attributed Yingning's changes to her being abandoned by the prince and her pregnancy.

Zhelan sighed: "God is really unfair to girls."

The well-behaved daughter of the Marquis Mansion, the future crown prince and concubine, can only stay in this desolate village, waiting to give birth to a child.

If she feels resentful, that's normal.

"What are you two mumbling about?"

Ying Ning turned around and walked over, sat on the bed, and said with a smile, "Are you wondering how you girls became so cruel and vicious, killing people without blinking an eye?"

Jin Shu immediately said: "Girl, no matter what you do, you must have your reasons and difficulties. We are the girl's girls. The girl's things are our things, and what the girl does is what we do."

"

"I know you have many questions in your mind. For example, why did I set the fire?"

"Whatever a girl does is right."

"Not necessarily." Ying Ning patted the falling snow on her sleeves, "Actually, I had a dream."

"What dream?"

Jin Shu poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to her.

Yingning was silent for a while and then said slowly: "I dreamed that I was dead."

Jin Shu's hand shook, and Zhe Lan also raised her head in surprise.

Ying Ning continued: "I also dreamed that the Marquis's mansion was raided, my father and brothers were exiled, and my mother and sisters were sent to the Jiaofang Division."

The two maids' faces turned pale.

The warmth in the room also seemed to drop suddenly.

After a long while, Jin Shu finally managed to smile and said: "Why did the girl take the nightmare so seriously? Aren't these dreams all fake? A few days ago, I dreamed that I turned into a bird and flew away. Isn't this outrageous?"

"I say so. Dreams can't be taken seriously." Zhelan agreed.

Ying Ning smiled and said, "In short, everything I do is for our Hou Mansion and ourselves. Don't be afraid."
