I thought that Shiniang would sleep well without Zhai Xiying in the house, but that was not the case.

When she got up early in the morning, Shi Niang appeared in front of the bronze mirror with two bags under her eyes. Her beautiful eyes were bloodshot due to not sleeping well last night, and her eye circles were also swollen.

"Mother?" Shuaishuai didn't see Shiniang at first sight when he woke up. His little body immediately got up from the bed. He felt relieved after seeing his mother not far away.

Shiniang saw her son awake on the bed, stood up, walked to him and put on warm and thick cotton clothes for him.

Then a maid prepared wash water for Shiniang. The mother and son washed up. Shiniang asked the maid who entered the room, "Is breakfast ready?"

"Ready, madam, do you want to eat in Du Ruo Courtyard, or go to the front yard?" The maid smiled and replied respectfully to Shiniang.

Shiniang hesitated for a while and asked Xiang Shuaishuai, "Son, where do you want to eat?"

"Eat with grandpa and daddy!" The handsome, plump little face laughed, and it was even more naughty and cute because of its two sweet and deep dimples.

Shi Niang nodded in understanding and said to the maid: "Then let's go to the front yard."

"Yes, madam." The maid was about to go out to arrange meals with other slaves, but Shi Niang stopped her.

"Wait a minute." Shiniang looked at the maidservant who was getting ready, swallowed her saliva, and asked: "Where did your palace master sleep last night?"

"Last night?" The maid looked at Shiniang, and then returned: "The master of the palace was in the lobby last night and did not go to bed."

Shiniang frowned after hearing this. She thought that by driving him out of the yard, he wouldn't even have a place to sleep in the Hades Palace, right? Could this man be asking for Shiniang's sympathy?

"It's okay, you can go down!" Shiniang waved her hand, indicating that the maid could leave.

When only the mother and son were left in the room, Shuai Shuai asked Xiang Shiniang in confusion, "Mother, why didn't Daddy sleep in the lobby last night?"

"Your father is busy, and he won't die if he misses a year and a half of sleep." Shiniang stretched out her left hand to pick up Shuai Shuai who was standing on the chair, and walked across the threshold of the room towards the front yard.

On the way, he bumped into Zhai Xiying who was walking towards Du Ruoyuan.

Shiniang awkwardly hugged Shuaishuai and stood on the snow, looking at the man coming towards her.

Zhai Xiying went to Du Ruoyuan to find Shiniang and her son. Now that she saw their mother and son, she stopped walking and asked, "You want to go to the front yard?"

Shiniang stared at the stinky man with no trace of embarrassment on her face, but on the other hand, she herself was indifferent.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Zhai Xiying asked again when Shiniang didn't answer him.

When Zhai Xiying asked this question, Shiniang felt even more ashamed. Why was this man still so energetic even though he didn't sleep well all night, while she looked embarrassed after not sleeping well all night?

Zhai Xiying laughed silently, reached out and snatched Shuaishuai from Shiniang's arms, and used her inner power to transmit the sound into Shiniang's ears, "I know clearly, you miss me so much that you can't sleep well! Haha..."

Shiniang took a sip at Zhai Xiying, who missed him!

"Haha..." Zhai Xiying laughed out loud now, and his magnetic voice became more and more pleasant, as if it was hitting Shiniang's heart with layers of magic.

Seeing Youruo in a daze, Zhai Xiying was in a good mood after a dull night. She hugged Shuaishuai's free right hand and wrapped her arms around Shiniang's waist.

Shiniang was about to struggle, but when she saw Shuai Shuai's bright and ignorant eyes, she hugged him along with Zhai Xiying.

The eyes of father and son are so similar that Shi Niang can be fascinated by just bumping into one of them at will.

It was originally a cold and lonely snowy day, but the warm embrace of this family of three warmed up the blue and white world that had just cleared up after the snow.
