The old lady opened her eyes slightly and her voice was as weak as dying.
Wang shrank back and squeezed into the corner as much as possible. She tightly grasped the corner of her dress whose color could not be seen clearly with both hands, and hung her head tightly.
The women who came in were all very familiar to them.
It was the puppet girl Yan Xianyun who brought them to the ice wilderness in the north to suffer hardship.
Why do we call her a puppet? Because every movement of this woman is very stiff.
Moreover, according to Duguke's speculation, she seemed to have been poisoned by some kind of strange toxin, which caused her facial expression to be quite stiff, with almost no emotional fluctuations.
Yan Xianyun naturally brought food to Chen Xuan's family.
As usual, each person gets a hard steamed bun and half a bowl of water.
In a world like the Ice Wasteland, everyone is hungry all the time. When they see Yan Xianyun coming to bring food, they naturally have nothing to dislike, so let's take it and eat it first.
Mrs. Chen's steamed buns were snatched away by Mrs. Wang and stuffed into her mouth in three bites.
The second master, Chen Bi, was so angry that his nostrils were twisted. He raised his hand to hit his mother-in-law, but Mrs. Wang roared her back.
"What's wrong with me eating a steamed bun from an old woman? In the past few days, Liniang and I have been taking care of this damn old woman. What have you done?"
Liniang is the second master’s only remaining concubine.
He was originally a charming and elegant person, but now he has aged thirty years and is still looking like an unkempt beggar. He has completely lost his right to speak in front of his wife and concubines.
The only one who can suppress everyone now is the eldest brother Chen Xuan.
But he became more and more silent day by day, paying no attention to the many commotions and noises in the small dark room.
More often than not, the eldest brother Chen Xuan would sit like this under the small ventilated window, with his head tilted back in a daze.
Dugutang held the steamed bun in his hand, stuffed it into his mouth like a starved ghost reincarnated, and poured in the cold water.
Immediately, the tears fell down like a fountain, and I couldn't help crying.
How could they, a fine Dugu family, live such a miserable life?
This is simply unimaginable.
The door of the small dark room "squeaked" as someone pushed it open from the outside, and a ray of sunlight poured in through the crack in the door, making people feel as if they were in another world.
A dark-haired man holding a white folding fan and wearing deerskin boots walked into the door with a smile.
I fanned myself subconsciously with the folding fan in my hand, as if I couldn't stand the unpleasant smell in the room.
"Brother Dugu is polite."
Duguqiao opened his eyes wide and stood up from Chen Bi.
"Di Cangyu?"
The culprit who deceived them into the ice wilderness of the North and immediately imprisoned them, finally appeared after more than a month!
"It's my little brother who's back." Di Cangyu smiled and shook his folding fan, with a hint of a devilish smile on his handsome face.
"Di Cangyu, what do you want to do?" Duguke shouted excitedly, "You tricked us into coming here and imprisoned us, and gave us some inexplicable concoction every day. What on earth do you want to do to us!"
Di Cangyu put away the folding fan and smiled, "Brother Dugu, why are you so angry? Look, isn't my little brother back?"
"It was because my subordinates couldn't handle things since my younger brother was away, so I imprisoned you in this small dark room."
"This is completely contrary to my original intention."
Dugutang quickly stood up, his dirty face full of surprise, "Master Emperor, do you mean to let us out?"
