"Whoosh—"
Outside, the snowstorm was getting heavier. A strong wind blew, and white snow fell. Snowflakes covered the sky and fell, as dense as fog. Everything was hazy as far as the eye could see.
The sky darkened, as if night had arrived early.
Madam Gu fell ill again.
Gu Yanfei didn't know how sick she was. In any case, several doctors had come. Even the matter of entering the palace to congratulate her on the first day of the Lunar New Year had been taken away.
Because Madam Gu was seriously ill, the Marquis Mansion's New Year was a little cold. There were no fireworks, no laughter, and no festive atmosphere.
Gu Yuan was on duty and had been in the palace since New Year's Eve. He had been missing for a few days.
Hence, Gu Yanfei stayed leisurely in Yuheng Garden every day.
It was only on the eighth day of the new year that Wei Jiaoniang suddenly visited.
Her arrival brought vitality to the quiet courtyard.
