Aunt Zhang patted the dust off her body and said: "He is a powerful escort from the escort team. Yesterday, the owner cut off her festering toes, which were bitten by poisonous insects during the summer, but they were useless when many of the herbs were tried. The worse they rot, the harder it is for them to walk, if you do not cure them, they will go along with the blood vessels, and they will lose their lives once they reach the heart."

The Xiaowan blinked her eyes and did not say anything. So she had wrongly blamed Ling Chaofeng, he did not want to kill her, she wanted to save her.

Seeing Ling Chaofeng turning around and walking over, the Aunt Zhang smiled at the Xiaowan: "Innkeeper, you and the shopkeeper talk slowly, I'm going to work."

Ling Chaofeng then called her over and instructed her, "The official ship will docked at the Baisha River Pier at night. You all should have made your preparations earlier."

The Aunt Zhang left as well. Ling Chaofeng walked to the front of the Xiaowan as well, and the tall figure looked down at the petite person from above.

Xiaowan muttered: "I want to …"

"Looking for your father?" Ling Chaofeng said.

"Yes, I want to look for my father. My father doesn't know anything about our marriage … "I don't know." Xiaowan tried her best to speak, "Manager Ling, I beg you, please let me go."

Ling Chaofeng's face was expressionless: "I will send people to find your father, although you are unwilling, in the end, I am still your wife who has already become a citizen. If anything happens to me, it will be my fault, so I won't be able to explain it to your father. "What should we do after that? We can explain it to your father when he's here, but before that …"

Xiaowan thought that things had turned for the better, and raised her head to look at Ling Chaofeng.

The gaze of the person in front of him sank. "Before you find your father, if you dare run again, I'll break your legs."

Xiaowan trembled, her eyes filled with fear, her face completely red.

Ling Chaofeng continued: "Since you're not willing to be my wife, then how do you plan to return the two pieces of money that you gave to others last night?"

"Did, did you see that?" The Xiaowan trembled as he spoke incoherently: "I, I know how to work, how about I compensate you with my work?"

"Then from today onwards, you will work in the shop until you earn enough money or until your father arrives."

Xiaowan felt wronged, and in the end, she was choked with sobs. "Manager Ling, will you really go find my father?"

Ling Chaofeng sized her up before indifferently leaving.

Xiaowan rubbed her face, trying very hard to not let herself cry. Seeing him walk away, she remembered what happened last night, so she jogged to catch up to him and asked timidly, "Manager Ling, did you save me last night? "Thank you, what happened to the mother-in-law?"

ignored her and went straight into the inn, ordering everyone to prepare for the guests. Then, he looked back at Mu Xiaowan with a complicated look in his eyes. Xiaowan's heart skipped a beat. She quickly ran in and took the cloth from Aunt Zhang who was wiping the table, and diligently wiped the table until it was bright.

"This …" The Aunt Zhang did not understand as she smiled and asked, "Shopkeeper, how can the bride be so straightforward? This can …"

Ling Chaofeng said indifferently: "Just let her do it." With that, he called over the young lad who was about the same age as Xiaowan from the back kitchen and instructed: "Ershan, follow me to the pier to wait for the official ship to welcome Lord Sun."

After that, Ling Chaofeng went upstairs as the Xiaowan wiped off all the tables in the restaurant in one go. He swiftly ran over and asked the Aunt Zhang, "What other work do you have?

Aunt Zhang did not comment. She turned around and saw that her husband had walked out. Her husband nodded at her and she said: "Let's go clean up the guest room. We have an important guest tonight."

Xiaowan was a hardworking girl. Although she was curious about everything in the inn, she did not slack off in her work. The two cleaned up the rooms one by one and soon, it was noon.

"Young bride, let's go eat. The food is ready." Aunt Zhang stood in front of the door of the guest room and said to Xiaowan who was kneeling down and wiping the floor, "You have been working all morning, you must be hungry."

The Xiaowan was brought downstairs and there were still no customers in the store. On one of the eight immortal tables, there were three meals, a soup and a steamed bun with rice. The valiant looking Uncle Biao and the tanned Big Brother Ershan were already waiting there.

After a long time, Ling Chaofeng finally changed into a new robe. The sky-blue robe made a few bland spots on his body, but Xiaowan did not dare look at it closely, and she was arranged to sit on the same bench as Ling Chaofeng.

Although the lunch was a simple three dishes and one soup, the soup was still chicken broth. The bright golden oil flower floated above the broth and stewed the meat of the chicken until it was soft, with a light ripping sound, Aunt Zhang placed the entire chicken drumstick into Xiaowan's bowl. There was also a plate of dark green vegetables, and a table of red and green ones. Even Xiaowan would not have been able to eat such good food during New Year's.

"My new bride, you should eat more. You must be exhausted. You must be exhausted after cleaning all the rooms." As if Aunt Zhang was telling the story on purpose for Ling Chaofeng to hear, she gave the food to Xiaowan and very quickly, a small hill formed in front of her.

Ling Chaofeng calmly ate a bowl of rice, seeing Xiaowan chewing on a steamed bun slowly, he indifferently stood up and ordered Uncle Biao: "Show me tonight's menu."

The Uncle Biao replied and went upstairs. He tore off the other chicken leg and stuffed it into Ershan's mouth, licking his fingers as he looked at the Xiaowan who was gnawing on steamed buns and looked at her wife. Then, the Aunt Zhang went close to the Xiaowan's ear and whispered: "The table is full of pork and chicken, and the fried vegetables are fried with peanut oil that we squeezed ourselves, it's really fragrant."

The Xiaowan raised her confused and fearful eyes, and said gently: "Our shop does not kill people, and does not sell meat buns, so do not listen to the nonsense of others. "Good child, eat."

"Aunt …" "Cough, cough …" Xiaowan felt wronged and wanted to say something again. She didn't want to choke on the steamed bun so that her pale face turned purple.

"Slow down." Aunt Zhang immediately gave her a bowl of soup, "You only have to eat steamed buns, how can you not choke?"

Hearing movement, Ling Chaofeng leaned out from the second floor and looked down. Aunt Zhang followed her back and after some hesitation, she finally brought a mouthful of food to her mouth.

Separated by a floor, one could see her eyes light up, feel her spirit rise, and her body once again emitted the aura of the day before, when she valiantly rushed toward Baisha Town.
