Ling Chaofeng used only a little strength to throw Mu Wen Bao out. The child rolled on the ground crying in fear. Madam Xu turned around and carried her son from the ground as he screamed, "Wen Bao, does it hurt! Wen Bao, let Mother see!"

Xiaowan ran over to her husband's side, and Ling Chaofeng held her hand. More and more bystanders gathered, but they did not come to pay attention to his and her. Instead, they saw the beautiful Ling Chaofeng and the beautiful young lady standing beside his.

The couple walked in the crowd. They were a very conspicuous couple, but when people came and went, everyone was focused on their business and playing. However, at this moment, they stopped and their gazes were locked on each other.

The familiar people whispered amongst themselves, trying to guess Ling Chaofeng's background, and why he had to go against a child.

"Let's go." Xiaowan said.

Ling Chaofeng did not say anything, and held her hand as they left. Ling Chaofeng's aura was extraordinary, he did not need them to push aside the crowd, so wherever he went, the people passing by would naturally make way for him.

But after walking a few steps, he heard Madam Xu crying and cursing, "Mu Xiaowan, I worked hard to raise you up so that you can eat and wear. "Everyone, please give your judgment. I treated my stepdaughter as my own daughter and raised her as my own. In the end, she brought her son-in-law back to beat us up. Look, she threw our child into such a state …"

Within the crowd, there were many villagers of Qingling Village who recognized the Xiaowan and knew that the man beside her was the owner of the Ling Xiao Inn. So the legendary Manager Ling was like this, and not to mention his appearance, when they saw him treat the Xiaowan like this, they all secretly lamented that the bitter days of the Xiaowan had come to an end.

When they got further away, the Xiaowan's heart also calmed down. Looking at the direction of the sun, he said to his husband, "Let's go find aunt and have a meal together. Hubby, I'm hungry."

Ling Chaofeng nodded. "Uncle Biao has reserved a private room in the teahouse.

"Yes." Xiaowan smiled and looked at his husband with eyes full of gratitude, "Husband, thank you."

"What's there to thank me for? Stupid." Ling Chaofeng laughed.

"As long as you are here, I am not afraid of anything. I will never be afraid of her again." "Even if I were to meet her alone in the future, I would not allow her to bully me again. I will eat a lot, and once I grow taller, I will be able to beat her."

It was evident that what she feared were her past experiences, and not her stepmother's own. At the very least, she wouldn't need to fear that old woman now, but the hardships of the past were etched in her heart, so she was definitely very afraid that one day she would live like that again.

"Go home and I'll teach you a few moves to capture him, okay?" Ling Chaofeng laughed, but as he thought about it, his gaze turned perverted.

"Why do I feel like you want to bully others?" The Xiaowan smiled weakly, looking extremely pampered. "You're not allowed to bully me."

The moment he finished speaking, a woman's voice came from not too far away, shouting angrily: "Wei Tengfei, I'm warning you, if you catch me again, I'll bite my tongue and commit suicide."

The man calmly said, "You asked for it yourself."

After speaking, he hoisted the young girl onto his shoulder. Just like Xiaowan, the young lady wore a white dress, and the man carrying her was the one who had mistaken him just now.

"Let me go, let me go …" The girl punched and kicked the man's shoulders, and even desperately grabbed his hair. It looked painful and painful, but the man didn't budge. He carried the girl and quickly left.

Xiaowan was stunned. She glanced at Ling Chaofeng and saw him smiling. Then she asked weakly: "If I don't listen, would you treat me like this?"

Ling Chaofeng shook his head, but said: "You don't dare to disobey?"

Xiaowan raised her eyebrows and said: "Why would I not dare? Anyway... You don't want to do this to me. "

The two of them joked around as they went to find Aunt Zhang and Uncle Biao. They completely forgot about the incident in Madam Xu, and after eating lunch and listening to the story in the teahouse, Ling Chaofeng felt that this beautiful wife who seemed to be in a daze was much more interesting than the story in the mouth of the storyteller.

During this time, Madam Xu brought her son and daughter back to Qingling Village, and along the way, they met some villagers who were secretly talking about how their mother and son were beaten up by their eldest son-in-law, causing her to be so angry that she almost went crazy.

In the past, she had beaten her stepdaughter to death. But now, when Aunt Wang pushed open the door and came in to persuade her, she only saw Madam Xu pulling the quilt off the brick bed with a bamboo ruler. Her son and daughter were not lightly frightened, but they did not even hit their bodies.

Aunt Wang curled her lips and came up to advise him: "It's such a festival, why do you need it? Quickly drink some water to calm down." "Don't cry, go to my aunt's house and get some mooncakes."

Madam Xu was so angry that she sat down on the brick bed and wiped away her tears as she said, "In my entire life, when have I ever lost face like this? If I had known this earlier, I would have asked her father to send this evil creature away."

She sobbed and cried. Aunt Wang tried to persuade her for a long time, then said: "When your man comes back, let him try to reason with you. He doesn't even put you in his eyes. Don't be in such a hurry, the days are long. Just look at Xiaowan's dressed in gold, I don't even know how wealthy she is in the inn, it doesn't matter if I suffer a little. If only I could get some from her in the future, it would be more important.

Madam Xu snorted: "How do you want to take it? Look at that Ling Chaofeng, he doesn't look too bad, but when he attacks, I'm afraid he will snap Wen Bao's neck with one hand."

After saying that, she wailed in fear, "I only have this one son. I'm marrying into this family. What exactly is my goal? I can't count on any of them …"

The Aunt Wang advised: "The ancient saying goes, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Why are you so anxious? Let's see what the situation is in the tavern. There will be a day when you make them kneel at your feet and kowtow to you. If she doesn't recognize you, she has to admit that you are Old Mu. Wait until Old Mu comes back, don't quarrel with him, just coax him first, let him know that you feel wronged, let him know that his daughter has let you down, you have found such a good home for Mu Xiaowan, she will repay your kindness with hatred. "

Madam Xu squinted her eyes, revealing a cold glint from the cracks, she clenched her teeth and said, "I will not let her go even if I die."

At this moment, within the Baisha Town teahouse, laughter was unceasing. It wasn't until sunset that the story finished. Xiaowan was not done with her words, she then urged him on: "Sounds good. Evening, let Uncle bring you here again later to listen."

Aunt Zhang then scolded her husband, "You came all the way here to listen to a book, and you still can't do business. Don't lead Nian`er astray."

And they ate a lot of refreshments while they were at school, so they did not eat dinner in the town, but went back to the inn together in the carriage.

Xiaowan and Aunt Zhang snuggled up to each other as they walked like a mother and daughter. Gradually, the number of people lessened and Aunt Zhang suddenly said, "Xiaowan, smell this fragrance, I saw it on the street just now."

Following the scent, they found a Rouge Shop called Siyun Pavilion on the side of the street. The shop was already brightly lit, and all kinds of exquisite rouge and water powder filled their eyes. The fragrance outside the shop was a little mixed, but when they were far away, the unique scent was the most obvious.

"My wife, come in and take a look." "We have the best rouge in the capital in our shop," said a dignified middle-aged woman, "and all the ladies of the palace use it."

Aunt Zhang suddenly stopped and said politely: "It's getting late, let's check again another day."

Xiaowan naturally listened to her, and the men also followed along, as they left.

When Ling Chaofeng returned to his room, Xiaowan was already lying down. When he lay down, her wife had already burrowed into his embrace and wrapped him up, softly saying, "Husband, I'm sleepy."

But today, playing around with books, and even having a fight with his stepmother, he experienced too much and fell into a state of confusion.

In her dreams, she had become a child and followed others to catch up with the market. In the end, she was captured by her stepmother, and all kinds of whips and sticks were whipped around her body, the pain that she once felt was deeply engraved in her memories. Thus, her dreams became real.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Ling Chaofeng gently wiped away her tears and comforted her gently, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Xiaowan sobs a few times, and suddenly hugged his husband. Ling Chaofeng slowly sat up and hugged her. Xiaowan stuck close to his husband's heart and could feel the firm strength in his chest. She suddenly asked, "Husband, why did you marry me?

Ling Chaofeng laughed: "You don't remember me, right?"

Xiaowan blankly raised his head: "Don't remember you?"

Ling Chaofeng said: "We have seen each other before, before we got married."

Xiaowan was at a loss. Even though Ling Chaofeng had told his about the experiences of their first meeting, Xiaowan still couldn't remember anything. She could not remember seeing someone as tall as Ling Chaofeng, or if he had seen such a handsome man before, how could he not?

To think about it, she had forgotten the fear in her dreams.

In the next few days, Xiaowan kept talking to Aunt Zhang, saying that she did not remember meeting her husband. Aunt Zhang was annoyed by her, saying, "Do you remember what's the matter?

Xiaowan was overjoyed when she heard this.

However, on this day, people from the yamen suddenly came. Xiaowan hurriedly ran over to the store, thinking that something was wrong with the inn.

The Xiaowan didn't recognize any words, and could only hear the Fast Catcher say to Ling Chaofeng, "The Emperor declares to abdicate, and passes the throne to the Fourth Prince.
