In the previous life

At night, she didn't know when it started snowing, but Lu Feng felt a bit hot. It seemed that the servant was afraid she would be cold, so he brought in a few more charcoal braziers.

Beads of sweat formed on her forehead. When Lu Feng was half asleep, she reached out and pulled at the collar of her clothes, extending her hands and feet out from under the blanket.

The slightly cool temperature outside made Lu Feng feel relieved, as if she had suddenly transitioned from scorching heat to a refreshing autumn season.

"A new preserved fruit shop has opened here. The owner is a fourteen-year-old boy, and he is quite handsome."

A gentle autumn breeze blew by as Lu Feng stood blankly in front of a shop. She heard Sun Yao's incessant chatter, "Don't think that I don't think about you. You're already sixteen, and you haven't even touched a young master. It's really pitiful. I know your family is strict, but look at Xu Yu. He not only married An Qingle, but he can also focus on learning her wood carving and clay sculpting. Maybe they will have children next year. How nice."

Lu Feng furrowed her brows slightly, realizing that she was dreaming again. Her dreams had become clearer as she grew older, and she could remember them quite well upon waking up.

However, this time it was strange. With Sun Yao's words, her memories seemed to have opened up a gap, and unfamiliar things rushed in like pouring water, impacting her original memories.

In her memories, she had just returned from the border not long ago. Sun Yao was worried that she wouldn't come back for three to five years due to the war, and he was more concerned about her marriage than her father.

After much persuasion, he managed to bring her out to meet the owner of this pastry shop.

Seeing Lu Feng standing there in a daze without any response, Sun Yao nudged her with his elbow and urged, "Hurry up and go in, what are you standing there for?"

Lu Feng glanced at him and said inexplicably, "I'll go in if they have preserved fruit."

Sun Yao, knowing her sweet tooth, impatiently pushed her, saying, "There's plenty of preserved fruit inside."

Lu Feng hesitantly stepped into a pastry shop called "Bai Wei Zhai" and casually glanced inside. There were indeed many preserved fruits and candied fruits.

"What are you doing! Let go!"

A voice filled with anger came from behind the cashier's counter, sounding clear and pleasant.

Lu Feng was taken aback. It sounded like the voice of the preserved fruit seller. She turned her head and saw that it was Xu Mu standing behind the counter.

However, his face was somewhat cold, and his gaze towards the side was filled with disgust and impatience as he smoothed out the sleeve cuff that had been pulled wrinkled.

The woman standing in front of him seemed to ignore his expression and continued speaking, "Xu Mu, if you say your father has died and you're the only one left in the family, why do you need to struggle on your own? As long as you nod your head, I will marry you and you won't have to work hard and expose yourself day and night. Wouldn't it be nice to live comfortably as a concubine?"

Lu Feng couldn't bear it. Even if she knew it was a dream, she wouldn't allow anyone to bully Xu Mu.

These memories controlled her body and watched with interest as a scene unfolded behind the wooden cabinet. They didn't intervene and even took a piece of Mi Jian from the plate and put it in their mouth.
