Early morning. Inside the snug horse carriage.

The wood in the tea space heater seemed to be all burned out as it released a depressed sound.

An elegant mellow and rich fragrance slowly wafted through the air from the pure gold decoratively carved incense burner, enduring without scattering.

This was Dragon Boost Fragrance, able to help repair the internal organs and the gastrointestinal system, expel poisons, and destroy tumors. Breathing in this fragrance within a small room was best for the health.

If Wei Wei’s memory wasn’t wrong, then this Dragon Boost Fragrance was the incense that her mother was most fond of in those days……

But after Lady Su married into the family, she even seized Mother’s incense saying that she couldn’t stand this incense, because it’s making her nauseated. Thereupon, everyone within the Defense Division residence was forbidden from burning this incense.

All of the attendants knew that this was the newly married Second Madam’s way of displaying her strength in front of the First Madam.

Yet what did that ‘good husband’ of hers do? He protected Lady Su in all respects and even said something about Lady Su’s health being weak, and couldn’t compare to Mother.

Lady’s Su health was weak, but was her Mother’s health not weak?

At that time, Mother had already neared her end. Her stomach vomited gas. Her entire life was spent rushing headlong into the battlefield as a female general. She was righteously and truly the head of the Helian family, yet wasn’t even left with the right to light a stick of incense……

No one knew how grievous that kind of situation was.

Little Wei Wei pinched at a corner of her dress and stared blankly as she watched her own mother’s life fading in this inferior and pitiful way, yet couldn’t do anything about it.

The memory deep in her heart made Wei Wei close her eyes tightly. When she reopened them, the inside of her pupils had already become clear and bright. No matter how it was previously, she who’s been reborn will surely reclaim control of all the things that originally belonged to her!

Just as she was thinking of this, she suddenly felt that someone was watching her.

Wei Wei immediately restrained all of the killing aura within her body and faced forward as she raised her eyes.

His entire body was covered in a white sable fur robe. Baili Jia Jue’s indolent expression as he sat and leaned on the chair. The classically styled sleeve of his robe opened just like a flower which bloomed, contrasting with the jade-like wrist. He turned the ancient scroll in his hand, graceful, elevated, and aloof from head to toe.

Wei Wei increasingly felt that each of Third Prince’s casual movement was qualified to be captured on a magazine’s cover. It’s a pity that this kind of person couldn’t become a modern day star.

Probably sensing Wei Wei’s gaze, Baili Jia Jue’s eyes glanced towards her. After that, he pulled opened a small wooden box within the horse carriage. His slender fingers rummaged inside the box then casually threw Wei Wei a few pieces of tungsten armament components. His intent was to have her play with them.

Wei Wei’s eyebrows jumped as she fiddled with the tungsten metal in her hand. The rumors really weren’t fake. Each and everything belonging to Third Prince couldn’t merely be measured with money. Things he normally used or even ate were all of the best quality within War Dragon Empire.

Just looking at this horse carriage, one could already gleaned a thing or two. Jade table, candied fruit, tea pastries, chessboard, scrolls……and so on, every necessity was prepared without exception. All kinds of items of the highest quality, whose value was considerable, and wasn’t merely sumptuous to a small extent.
