"I'll give you the ring." Xiaowan said with a serious face, "Then a thousand silver is not mine."

Ling Chaofeng rolled his eyes at her as he tried his best to take off the ring, but the ring seemed to be growing on her hand and he couldn't take it off.

"This ring …" Ling Chaofeng had already left, without saying a word, the Xiaowan grumbled, "One thousand gold, I don't even know what the next life is going to be like, what exactly is this person thinking?"

She subconsciously walked to the door and opened it slightly, wanting to see what was outside. However, she saw that when Ling Chaofeng went downstairs, the Second Madam was waiting for him with a smile.

Xiaowan saw her give something that looked like a money pouch to Ling Chaofeng, and then, as if she was afraid that Lord Sun or someone else would see, she quickly ran away.

Could it be that the Second Madam gave Ling Chaofeng money, bribed him, and killed the both of them?

Thinking about that, the Xiaowan was scared and angry at the same time, she slammed the door shut. Ling Chaofeng heard his and lightly looked up the stairs. Xiaowan was regretful that she did not manage to understand Ling Chaofeng. Would this anger him, provoke him, and what kind of ending would it bring about?

Suddenly, his stomach growled, causing Xiaowan to be hungry. He turned around and saw a bowl of wontons on the table. Each of them was wrapped in a filling bag. The white and fat rice was extremely alluring.

She sat down to eat first. She ate a mouthful of lentinus pork, shrimp filling, and shepherd's purse filling, eating a total of ten silver ingots, making Xiaowan's stomach swell to the point that it almost burst out of her body.

She rubbed her stomach and sighed softly. If there really was a butcher selling meat buns here, I don't know what she just ate, but it's really too delicious. Unknowingly … Since yesterday, she felt as if she had eaten more food than she had in the past seventeen years, so she naturally didn't exaggerate anything. Since yesterday, she felt as if she had eaten more food than she had in the past seventeen years, so she naturally didn't exaggerate.

It's not cold and hungry here, it's not cold and cold here, it's cold." She remembered what Ling Chaofeng had said. Ling Chaofeng had said that before the marriage annulment, she was his wife, and no one would ever hit her again.

Xiaowan raised her sleeves. The bruises on her wrist that were tied up were still very eye-catching, and if she went up any further, there would be old wounds that had been whipped by the thorns, causing her back to be filled with wounds.

Since she was young, she would beat her with whatever her stepmother got. The worst case scenario was if her stepmother lent the family's silver to her good brothers before New Year's Eve, but her stepmother was so angry that she didn't dare to cause trouble with her father. She would beat her to death while her father was busy with the New Year stuff.

She walked over to the mirror and brushed her thick black hair away. Her white scalp was scarred, and she was covered with wounds, everywhere, and in her heart.

Xiaowan looked at the house again carefully. This was her wedding room, even if she was unwilling to admit it, she had already married. She didn't know what kind of person Ling Chaofeng was, but he was actually the first person in this world to say such a thing to her.

She no longer had to be afraid of getting beaten, and no longer needed to go hungry. However, she had to be Ling Chaofeng's wife and stay in the Ling Xiao Inn.

"Mother, what should I do …" Xiaowan was choked with sobs, but at this time, she heard someone crying downstairs. Someone was crying, "Madam, Madam …"

Mrs. Sun? Xiaowan's body tensed up, she ran to the door and stood at the top of the stairs to look down. The weeping of the female servants became even clearer, their mistress, was dead.

Xiaowan fell to the ground. A good person, a good person died just like that?

Ling Chaofeng walked up from below and instantly felt that the Xiaowan was here. He didn't know how the Xiaowan understood the gaze he passed over, but he wanted him to return to his room and stay there.

There was no place forhisr to get involved to, and he was not too familiar with Mrs. Sun either. Regretfully, her life was inevitable, and because of this, Xiaowan could not even do something as heartbroken as dying. She was afraid. When she gradually began to feel that this wasn't a murder shop, he could only watch one person die before his eyes.

It seemed that even the magistrate was alarmed. When dawn arrived, Ling Chaofeng pushed open the door and entered the room, knocking over the person who was hugging his knees and sitting on the door.

Xiaowan crawled up in a daze, looking up at him blankly.

Ling Chaofeng was furious: You sat on the ground for an entire night?

Xiaowan was a bit more clear-headed, her lips moved slightly, she did not say anything, but the man had already reached out her hand, pulling herself up from the ground.

Ling Chaofeng said coldly, "Wash your face and rinse your mouth. Lord Sun is going to the pier to send off his guests."

Xiaowan asked: "Where's the Madam?"

Ling Chaofeng replied: Let the servants carry the coffins back to the village. The Lord Sun has other matters to attend to, they need to complete some tasks first, as for the matters that they need to complete, after leaving the inn, it has nothing to do with me.

Sure enough, this man was cold and merciless. Xiaowan smiled bitterly and turned around, feeling weird: "I'm going to send you off too?"

Afterwards, the Xiaowan sat in a carriage and followed the Lord Sun's group to the Baisha River Pier. The official ship was big and beautiful, with guards waiting for the Lord Sun along the shore. She was wearing a bright red dress, with a head full of jade like golden hairpin. It was such a joyous look, as if nothing had happened, as if the night had passed and they had completely forgotten about Mrs. Sun.

Second Madam was in high spirits, as if he had met a great fortune. He followed Lord Sun to meet Ling Chaofeng and warmly pulled him along: "So you are Manager Ling's wife. This jade bracelet will be treated as a greeting gift. young lady, we will meet again. "

As she spoke, she slipped her bracelet into Xiaowan's wrist and then said to her husband: "Master, it's about time, I don't dare to delay your business."

Lord Sun brought her onto the boat. When Xiaowan thought about how Second Madam had insulted him yesterday that she was a chicken that could not lay eggs, and how she had flattered and seduced Ling Chaofeng with enchanting words, she became inexplicably angry. She glared at the man beside her and unconsciously clenched her fists.

Xiaowan thought as she took off the bracelet. Suddenly, someone screamed and looked up, to see that the Second Madam had actually stepped on empty air and fallen head first into the Baisha River.

The guards panicked and jumped into the water one by one to save her. When Second Madam was dragged up, he was so scared that his face turned pale and his body became miserable.

The Xiaowan was startled, but Ling Chaofeng did not move. He watched indifferently as the official ship left, and the pier immediately became quiet.

"Let's go." Ling Chaofeng said, "Return to the inn."

However, Xiaowan suddenly ran towards the riverside. Ling Chaofeng frowned, but saw that she forcefully threw the jade bracelet into the Baisha River, patted his hands angrily, then ran back with an angry look on his face and said: "Let's go."
