In the whole day, she had done a lot of work and ate a lot of good food. She had witnessed everything in the inn, and she did not believe that this was a black shop.

Even if it was Ling Chaofeng, who had always been scaring her, it was only on his lips. Not to mention whether he had saved her last night, he had gone to look for his or to grab his. At the moment, on the table close to the wall, there were still piles of silver and copper coins under the red candle light, as if no one was worried that she would take this money.

Xiaowan stepped forward and weighed the silver ingot in her hand. How much was two taels of silver?

If his stepmother were to see so much money, her eyeballs would probably pop out.

She raised her eyes and saw a mirror next to the cabinet. It was a very rare item. She ran to the mirror and saw herself in the candlelight.

Only now did he have the heart to take a look at the clothes that he took out in the morning. On the moon-white lapels of his clothes, there were embroidered blossoms of peach blossoms, tied under them was a peach-colored Ruyi Dress, and there was even a silver tassel hanging from the belt. The Xiaowan touched the clothes lovingly, it was truly a waste to wear them all day.

She wanted to find if there were any clothes that were firmer and rougher, so she subconsciously opened the wardrobe. Xiaowan was stunned.

Inside the wardrobe, there were all kinds of new clothes. Cotton silk was stuffed full to the brim, and at the very bottom, there was a large cloak. The snow-white fur was soft and slippery, and all of the clothes were the style of a woman. All hers?

After his stepmother entered, it had been more than ten years since Xiaowan wore a new set of clothes. Earlier, people in the village would point at her stepdaughter and say that she had mistreated her. However, her stepmother was very fierce, often pushing her out by the ears and scolding them, "You guys cherish this lost star, but you guys want to bring it back to raise?"

After a long time, no one cared anymore whether or not she would be bullied and mistreated by the Queen Mother, and it became a common occurrence for Xiaowan to starve and get beaten up.

Looking at the closet full of clothes, then looking back at everything in the room, she was at a loss.

The next morning, Xiaowan came out early at dawn. She had woken up early when she was at home, but she was thinking about it today. There were so many people staying in the shop, so she had to busy herself with breakfast.

Avoiding the people in the hall, he sneaked into the kitchen. The Uncle Biao was already cutting vegetables and when he saw the Xiaowan, he waved his kitchen knife and said, "Why are you up so early? Hurry and go sleep for a while more."

Xiaowan was already full of sleep. In such a soft and comfortable bed, no matter how she slept, she would always feel comfortable. Even in her dreams, she would feel like she was lying on a cloud, her spirits soaring: "Uncle, what can I do for you?"

Uncle Biao said: "Go to the well and see what work your aunt has to do. I don't need you here."

Originally, she was happily going to look for Aunt Zhang, but her head knocked against her firm chest, causing her to feel pain. Opening his eyes, he saw Ling Chaofeng standing in front of him. He was wearing a deep blue robe and looked even more serious than yesterday.

"Why are you running around blindly if you don't have eyes?" Ling Chaofeng looked down at her with ice-cold eyes.

Xiaowan did not dare talk back, she rubbed her forehead and stood to the side, her skinny body sticking to the wall as she moved past Ling Chaofeng, and immediately disappeared.

The Uncle Biao smiled and said nothing, while Ling Chaofeng said indifferently: "Second Madam is ordering dishes today, you decide."

"Heh …" Uncle Biao stabbed the kitchen knife into the chopping board and turned around.

Xiaowan was helping Aunt Zhang wash the dishes and chopsticks by the well at the back door. Afterwards, she had breakfast right in front of him. Lord Sun was a high official in the capital and they had to be attentive to him. Today, they had to welcome him to the Baisha Town inspection, and a large portion of the guards followed him, making the inside of the shop much more peaceful.

After the Aunt Zhang finished her breakfast, a servant girl said that the Second Madam wanted hot water and immediately sent her life over. As the Aunt Zhang was helping the Uncle Biao pluck the feathers, the Xiaowan agreed.

When she was about to knock on the door in front of the Cloud Pao, she heard the ear-piercing laughter from inside, and then ridiculed: "You, a hen that can't lay eggs, what kind of proper house are you trying to set up in front of me, to teach me a lesson? "You don't have to take a look at yourself in the mirror. I advise you to behave yourself, otherwise, you won't even get to eat leftovers."

Xiaowan's hand was hanging in the air, unable to knock. Suddenly, the door opened, and Mrs. Sun appeared in front of his with bloodshot eyes. When she saw that it was Xiaowan, she forced out a smile and left for her own room.

"What took you so long to get a basin of hot water?" The servant girl beside the Second Madam scolded the Xiaowan, "Do you have any spring water here? Our Mistress only drinks the tea that is made from the spring water."

The Second Madam tried to coax his, "What are you trying to do by scaring a little girl? Little girl, what's your name?"

Xiaowan didn't want to get involved with them, so she put down the hot water and ran.

When they reached downstairs, Ling Chaofeng was standing behind the counter, calculating the debt. The two looked at each other, and then, Ling Chaofeng hooked his fingers and told her to go over.

Xiaowan did not dare to ignore her. Walking up to her, the man coldly instructed her: "Don't meddle in other people's business. Guest's business has nothing to do with the inn."

Xiaowan guessed that since Ling Chaofeng and Lord Sun seemed to be old friends, she definitely knew many stories. But since he was so cold-blooded, of course she wouldn't care about being bullied by a concubine.

Moreover, this person had clearly said this to her. When she went back to her room upstairs at noon, she saw Second Madam and Ling Chaofeng standing together at the corner of the stairs. The woman was smiling, her long fingers and bright red nails almost touching his face.

Ling Chaofeng met his gaze with an indifferent look, as if he did not care at all. He turned around and continued to chat and laugh with Second Madam, Xiaowan had looked down on him.

After lunch, she was washing the dishes by the well when a person suddenly appeared beside her. Her gentle voice said, "Lady, let me help you."

Seeing that it was Mrs. Sun, Xiaowan immediately replied: "Madam, I can't."

Mrs. Sun's eyes were no longer red. She smiled amiably: "Miss, you aren't a servant, right?"

Xiaowan pursed her lips, not knowing how to respond.

Mrs. Sun said, "You are Manager Ling's wife, right?"

Xiaowan waved her hands repeatedly. Without waiting for her to explain, she rolled up her sleeves and helped her wash the dishes, "I heard you talking to Manager Ling last night. Although I don't know what happened, I know you need money. If I hear Aunt Zhang call you that, can I also call you Yue'er? "

"Madam, please do as you wish."

"Huang'er, how much silver do you want?"

Xiaowan was dumbfounded.

Mrs. Sun said: "I will give you as many as you want, but you have to help me with one thing."
