Chapter 380 - 134: Heavy Snow_2
Hua Lei struggled to her feet, rubbing her sore bottom pitifully as she looked at Yueyao, "Miss." Why does the miss remain unfazed, she thought herself quite the failure!
Yueyao chuckled and said, "Quickly pat off the snow on you, and be careful when you walk later." Actually, the light snow did not really affect walking.
Snow is not cold but melting snow is, combined with the lower temperatures on the mountain compared to below, Yuehuan could not sleep that night from the cold, having increased the coal from two pots to three. Although Yuehuan knew that inhaling too much carbon dioxide was harmful to the human body, it was just too cold to bear!
Hong Mei saw Yuehuan curled up in a ball and suggested, "Miss, why don’t you ask the Third Young Lady? If you stay with the Third Young Lady, it won’t be so cold." The main house had underfloor heating, and even sleeping on the floor would be warmer than here.
Yuehuan shook her head, she would not go again. The last time she had suggested it, Yueyao had refused, how could she have the face to suggest it again! Plus, she believed Yueyao might not want others to know her secrets, which was why she did not want to share a living space.
Yuehuan could not bring herself to ask, so Hong Mei asked Yueyao on her behalf, "Third Young Lady, it’s too cold in our room, our mistress cannot sleep at night. Please let our mistress move in!"
Yueyao’s expression was unreadable, "Is this your own idea, or your mistress’s?" Yueyao knew Yuehuan was a proud person, who, after being rejected once, would definitely not suggest it a second time. Obviously, this maid had taken it upon herself.
Hong Mei knelt before Yueyao, "It is this servant’s idea."
Yueyao did not punish Hong Mei, but merely called Yuehuan over, "Little sister, are you so cold at night that you cannot sleep?"
Yuehuan thought she could handle it, having endured last year as well, but she had underestimated the mountain’s weather. Even with three or four pots of coal burning, she could not stand it, "Yes, it’s too cold."
