Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the blink of an eye, the originally clear sky was covered in dark clouds. Layers of dark clouds covered the sky, as if night had arrived early.
“Rumble! ‘
The sky exploded with deafening thunder. The howling wind swept up the dust and fallen leaves on the ground, and banners fluttered in the wind.
The commoners on the streets below were stunned by this scene. They shouted in panic, “There’s thunder.”
‘Why is there thunder in the middle of winter?”
“How can the wind still be so strong!”
Noisy shouts rose and fell.
In the private room, the middle-aged man with a pale face and a beard was dumbfounded. He couldn’t help but think of a saying: “Thunder in winter brings snow.”
The meaning of this sentence was that thunder in winter was a precursor to a snowstorm.
As if to verify his thoughts, goose feather-like snowflakes quickly fell from the sky. They fluttered one after another, and it was a vast expanse of white.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger. Snowflakes drifted into the window and splashed on the table. A few fell into the wine glass.
“This…” Chu You looked at Gu Yunrong in surprise. His eyes widened slightly.
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed that the sky had changed just because of Rong’er’s words.
Even Gu Yunrong herself was a little surprised, but she immediately returned to normal and smiled sweetly. It was as if thousands of pear blossoms were blooming in competition, and spring was overflowing.
“My luck has always been very good,” Gu Yunrong said confidently, her eyes shining.
Ever since she was young, her luck has been very good. It could be said that all her wishes would come true.
“Rong’er!” Chu You turned his hand and grabbed Gu Yunrong’s slender wrist. He suddenly pulled her over and made her sit on his lap.
Gu Yunrong was shocked by his sudden action and exclaimed softly.
She wanted to say that there was someone else, but when she looked up, she realized that the pale-faced, beardless middle-aged man had already tactfully retreated and even thoughtfully closed the door of the private seat for them.
Chu You wrapped his arms around Gu Yunrong’s slender waist and held her tightly, so that her back was pressed against his thick chest. Their body temperatures were pressed against each other through the material of their clothes.
‘You’re really my lucky star.” Chu You lowered his head and whispered into Gu Yunrong’s ear. His hot breath blew on her earlobe.
Chu You really thought so.
Eight years ago, when he was in danger in Yangzhou, she was the one who saved him.
She was his lucky star!
He was the only person she saw in her eyes. It was the same eight years ago, and it was still the same now.
“Phew—phew—”
In a moment, the snow outside the window became heavier, and the wind became stronger. It was as if it was going to uproot the trees on the street.
The vendors on the street quickly closed their stalls. As for the commoners, they either hid in the surrounding shops or hurriedly embarked on their return journey. In a short while, the passers-by scattered like birds, and a large area of West Chang’an Street was empty.
Only the wind and snow continued to howl.
The entire capital was covered in snow, not just Chang’an West Street. The snowflakes were as dense as a snow curtain.
“It’s snowing,” the coachman of Gu Yanfei’s carriage shouted.
Gu Yanfei stretched out a hand from the window and allowed the cold snowflakes to land on her palm.
“Tsk.” Gu Yanfei watched as the snowflakes turned into transparent ice water in her palm. With a flick of his finger, the water droplets were brushed away.
She wasn’t surprised by this sudden snowstorm at all.
Heaven’s Will in this small world was so biased. They always treated Gu
Yunrong like their precious baby and didn’t allow her to suffer any grievances.
This blizzard came neither too early nor too late, and choosing this time was naturally not purely a “coincidence”.
Gu Yanfei glanced in the direction of the Chengtian Gate and hesitated for a moment before instructing the coachman, “Return to the Marquis Mansion.’
The coachman responded and raised his whip high. He turned the carriage around and headed towards Yuan’an Street, where the Marquis Mansion was located.
Gu Yanfei leaned lazily in the carriage and yawned. Her almond-shaped eyes narrowed sleepily.
I’d better not go.
What was left was to determine what punishments the imperial court would give and how the criminals should be dealt with. There were also those complicated relationships in the court and the unpredictable human hearts and interests. Just thinking about it gave her a headache.
Gu Yanfei yawned lazily again.
Countless snowflakes kept falling from the gloomy sky , and they were getting bigger and bigger.
In just a short while, a layer of snow had accumulated on the ground, the city tower, and the treetops. Even the commoners’ heads and bodies were covered in a layer of snow, causing them to shiver from head to toe..
