Because of the fierce wind and heavy snow, and the extremely cold weather, the soldiers patrolling the streets were slacking off, allowing Old Yuan and Yuan Zhaodi to return without any danger.
When they returned to the courtyard temporarily housing the Yuan Family, Yuan Zhaodi was nearly frozen stiff.
Mrs. Xiao Li saw Yuan Zhaodi's condition, and tears flowed down her face.
The room was somewhat warm, but compared to Yuan Zhaodi's current coldness, this bit of warmth was sorely lacking.
Finally, Mrs. Xiao Li tightly hugged Yuan Zhaodi, using her body heat to help warm him up.
At first, the couple shivered violently, but then they gradually warmed up.
Luckily, Yuan Zhaodi did not catch a cold, and Mrs. Xiao Li was fine too.
However, without being able to find Yuan Bao, the family's spirits were low.
...
The night grew darker, and the heavy snow falling between heaven and earth became increasingly noisy.
