After his wife went missing, Ling Chaofeng had an instant of anxiety, but he quickly calmed himself down and analyzed the situation. Xiaowan shouldn't have been kidnapped or taken away, it was likely that she had fled with her people.

She didn't take anything, she must have been a long way off, or perhaps she was afraid that the group would search the inn and take the mother and daughter into the mountains for the time being.

Aunt Zhang called out for a long time, but there was no response. Ling Chaofeng then decided to take a look at the Baisha River Pier.

Before he even went out, he saw the group of people walking back from the pier. Not long later, he saw a horse carriage slowly approaching from the distance, passing by the inn and stopping slowly. Xiaowan actually jumped down from the horse carriage.

Ling Chaofeng did not see the person in the carriage, but when he walked closer to his wife and smelled her fragrance, he knew who was in the carriage and could guess where the Chen mother and daughter went.

At this moment, Yue Huaiyin bid farewell to the couple. She watched them until they disappeared at the end of the road before returning to the shop.

Little Cui blabbered on at the side. She was surprised that the elegant young master she met on the day of Baisha Town was actually the shopkeeper for the Ling Xiao Inn, and even married to such a silly little girl.

"Miss, this matter of going to the dock to pick up the goods will be left to the servants." Little Cui said, "You should head out early in the morning. It's been a long time since you came back."

Huaiyin smiled faintly, "It's good for me to go out for a walk. This place is small, it'll be boring if I stay here for a long time."

After sending Little Cui out to do other things, she went to the inner courtyard bedroom alone. She did not want to give the errand of going to the dock to pick up the goods to anyone else, only by doing it personally would she have the chance to pass by and see that person.

Actually, she didn't understand why someone like Ling Chaofeng would marry Mu Xiaowan.

The sun gradually went west as dusk fell. On the way home, Ling Chaofeng did not ride his horse at all, as the bumpiness on the horse was not comparable to riding a car.

They slowly walked back, and the shadows on the road grew longer and longer. Ling Chaofeng pulled on the reins to change the direction, and said to Xiaowan: "Look over there."

Facing the sunlight, Xiaowan was blinded by the piercing sun, slowly adapting to the splendor of the setting sun, seeing the bright red big fireball slowly sinking down from the horizon.

At the end of the road, the scene of Baisha Town was no longer visible.

"So beautiful." Xiaowan could not help but say, "Why haven't I seen it before?"

"You never had the heart to look up at the sky before." Ling Chaofeng changed his direction again and returned to the inn, saying gently, "But from now on, you should look at the sky and look at the flowers and plants, there are many interesting things waiting for you to do in the future."

"Hubby …" Xiaowan felt her heart warm up, and could not help but say in a soft voice, "Aren't you scolding me?"

"Of course I want to curse you, and I even want to beat you up. Why do you like to run when you suddenly run away and scare us senseless?" Ling Chaofeng said. As expected, the moment he said he wanted to beat her, Xiaowan trembled. Her fear of violence far exceeded his imagination.

"But I can't bear to part with it." He lowered his head and kissed Xiaowan's forehead. The horse moved slowly forward and he said, "I will teach you slowly. After all, in the past ten years, besides working and beating and starving, you have never learned anything."

Xiaowan said softly, "I also feel that I am not worthy of you. You know everything.

Ling Chaofeng smiled, "There are so many smart people that can't see you clearly. It's already amazing that you know you're dumb. "But how can you not be worthy of me? You're not allowed to speak nonsense."

When they returned to the tavern, Uncle Biao had already prepared dinner. Everyone sat down to eat, talked about what had happened today, and asked Xiaowan how she had run, but there was no one on the road. She said that she had brought the mother and daughter pair through the forest.

Although everyone felt that it was inconceivable, they never could have imagined that the Xiaowan would instantly send the Jade Ring to the dock to make a wish. Naturally, they would believe whatever she said.

The secret of the Jade Ring was preserved.

When they were bathing at night, Xiaowan tried to take off the ring in the water. As expected, the ring still looked like it was growing on her skin and couldn't be taken off at all.

"Next time, I will think it through and make a wish with you. I want to keep you alive so that I can do something for my husband in the future. I won't do anything rash again.

Just then, Ling Chaofeng pushed open the door and came in. When he heard the latter half of the sentence, he thought that Xiaowan was just about to apologize, but the person in the bathtub was really shocked.

However, Ling Chaofeng shut the door behind him, and walked towards her with a smile: "I'm not finished with the shower, don't faint, can you stand up?"

As he spoke, he reached out and pulled her out of the water, then pulled her out by the blanket and wiped her dry. Xiaowan was ticklish and shy, he grabbed Ling Chaofeng's hand and said, "Husband, can I do it myself?"

Ling Chaofeng shook his head: "You forgot, I said I would take care of you when I get home."

Sure enough, they would be punished for wrongdoing, but this punishment was different from what Xiaowan had imagined.

Her fart had not been slapped, only gently stroking and kneading. Her more beautiful and exquisite body was held in her husband's palm. He doted on her so much that even if he forced himself to stand firm, he wouldn't make her feel any pain. He would only want more, one at a time.

The weak body fell into her husband's embrace. Xiaowan didn't have any strength left, Ling Chaofeng lightly patted her back: "You're lying on my body, how am I going to sleep? Quickly lie down."

Xiaowan rolled over, rolled into the bed, and quickly rolled back, sticking close to Ling Chaofeng's body.

They each found a comfortable position and said: "Late at night, if you can't see others getting beaten up and feel pity for them, then you'll be excited. If you want to save someone, then you must first save yourself. Naturally, I will do everything that you want to do for you. However, if what you have done is wrong, how can I help you?

"Master, shouldn't I save Miss Susu?" Xiaowan was originally drowsy, but now she became clear-headed.

"This time's matter was not wrong, it was just that you did not do well. However, there is no guarantee that you won't be tricked the next time." Ling Chaofeng said sincerely, "Don't easily believe in others. Since you don't even believe in me, why do you have to believe in people you don't know?"

"It's not that I don't trust you, I …"

"You are hot-blooded and lose your mind the moment you see someone being abused, don't you?"

Xiaowan nodded her head, her heart was moved.

Ling Chaofeng said: "But you have to understand, your miserable life has already ended. You have to become a smart and calm person, and live our lives well. If you want to help others and take care of them, then turn yourself into someone who has the ability to be useful. Otherwise, if you were to act on impulse and act on impulse, it is very likely that you will be unable to help others and cause them to lose their chance of survival. "

Xiaowan had already sat up, clutching her chest, she listened to Ling Chaofeng's words seriously, wanting to remember every word in her heart.

She said: "I often don't understand why you do such strange things. I think you're a big hero, but you can talk to those bad people and be polite. When I get confused, I get scared. In the morning, I really thought you accepted the money and wanted to hand Miss Susu over. "

Ling Chaofeng said: "They made a mess in the shop, I'll take some silver as compensation, isn't that too much? "Of course it's my fault, I can't tell you everything in time. Late at night, are you tired? Do you want to hear about my matters?"

"Yes." The Xiaowan became more spirited, "I want to hear the story of my husband's past."

Ling Chaofeng laughed and said, "Actually it's nothing. I'm the same as you, I don't have a mother, but you still have a father. I haven't even seen a father before."

Xiaowan was stunned. She then found out that her husband was from the capital, that he was an abandoned baby by the side of the road who was taken home by his adoptive parents to raise after being swaddled. His adoptive parents were the owners of the tavern in the capital.

Twelve years ago, his adoptive father passed away from illness, and his foster mother sold him to an inn to bring him back from the capital.

Ling Chaofeng was twenty-five years old this year, and at the age of thirteen, he was forced by his adoptive mother to take charge of the family. In a blink of an eye, twelve years had passed, and he had long since become a famous Manager Ling.

"Where is Mother now?" Xiaowan asked.

"He died." Ling Chaofeng regretfully said, "The son wants to be raised, but does not kiss."

The Xiaowan felt that Ling Chaofeng had lost his family members, but she couldn't understand the last part of the sentence.

Ling Chaofeng laughed, and after explaining again, he said angrily: "Look at you, are you familiar with the < Three Character Classic >? You haven't even finished reading your own book, and yet you still care about the affairs of others, making the inside of the inn chaotic."

Xiaowan laughed foolishly and leaned on his chest: "I am not crippled. I can carry it well, even Ershan praised me for being smart."

However, she was still very confused. Since Ling Chaofeng both ate black and white and his reputation was impressive, why did he treat Ling Xiao Inn as a hoodlum shop within a circumference of ten miles?

However, Ling Chaofeng smiled lazily. "I just don't want to do business here. If the villagers treat this place as a scam, they wouldn't come and save themselves a lot of trouble. "We only work for the big boss and earn a lot of money. Naturally, we don't refuse anyone who opens the door to welcome us."

"So we were the ones outside saying that this is a dark shop, and we're even selling meat buns. Did we tell these rumors ourselves?" The Xiaowan asked in surprise.

"Look, this time you're smarter." Ling Chaofeng looked angry as he laughed, "Sure enough, I need to train more."

Xiaowan was really smart now as she waved her hands and begged, "Husband, I can't do it tonight." She heaved a sigh of relief. "So that's how it is."

Ling Chaofeng replied, "When Father and Mother were in the capital, they both had good friends. In the past ten years that I've been wandering around, I've also gained some popularity among the people. It's not difficult for me to do some things. For example, regarding Miss Susu, it is useless for you to just hide her. Could it be that she will never leave the Rouge Shop, and will stay there forever? "

That night, the couple chatted until midnight before going to sleep. Xiaowan listened to the story of his husband and the inn, and also learned the principle of living in the world from him.

Ling Chaofeng knew that the Xiaowan was not stupid, and not stupid either. It was just that for so many years, she had not learnt anything.

This matter had temporarily stopped after the Rouge Shop Miss Yue had taken in the Chen mother and daughter pair. After wandering around in the Baisha Town for two days, that group of people then went somewhere else to look.

Ling Chaofeng had interacted with them before, so he knew their capabilities. To be able to let an opponent's mother and daughter, who were helpless, flee for a month, that group of people were simply idiots.

On this day, Aunt Zhang accompanied Xiaowan to town to visit the Chen mother and daughter in Rouge Shop. Susu was still recuperating, so Auntie Chen was too embarrassed to eat and drink for free. Miss Yue was not in the shop, she was afraid to give trouble to others, seeing that they were safe, she quickly left.

Aunt Zhang was going to buy some cotton clothes for the winter. She took Xiaowan to a street and heard the sound of metal being forged. Xiaowan smiled and said, "So the person I am looking for is here."

She went to the blacksmith shop to greet her father's good friend, Uncle Zhou. Uncle Zhou did not recognize her anymore, and Manager Ling, who knew that she had married into Ling Xiao Inn, was very surprised.

When Aunt Zhang bought the cotton, they wanted to return to the tavern. Xiaowan looked around, but she could not remember that night when she saved the white-haired old granny or where she was saved by Ling Chaofeng.

But now that she thought about it, that old granny must have some sort of ability. In order to protect the Jade Ring's secret, she no longer planned to ask Ling Chaofeng about that night.

They headed towards home, but the Aunt Zhang complained. "If I knew that Ershan would drive us there, seeing that the cotton is so good and cheap, I would have bought too many. I want to change the bed and blankets in the shop."

Xiaowan trembled, sshe secretly clenched her right hand, and when they reached the street corner, he saw the regular customers, the one who had bought the buns before, pulling the donkey cart, and saw them. She took the initiative to say: "Aunt Zhang, I will send you guys back."

Along the way, the Aunt Zhang muttered to herself, "I really get what I want. What good day is it today? How can it be so smooth?"

Xiaowan smiled but did not say a word. She felt that doing these small things with the Jade Ring's wish, there was no need to lie and she did not need to burden herself with it. However, fulfilling this small wish did not mean bringing trouble to the Heavens.

It was noon, and the sun was high in the sky. They headed towards the inn. In the village that was ten miles in radius, the villagers had also taken up their work in the morning and were returning home to eat lunch. When the Aunt Wang returned home, she saw the Master Mu repairing the fence in their courtyard. She quickly poured water for them and laughed: "It's rare to come back, why don't you take a rest and go around working for your fellow villagers. Big Brother Mu is really warm-hearted."

Separated by the fence, Madam Xu walked over while twisting her waist, and laughed: "He wants to do some work for you guys, he's outside, so it's easier for you guys to take care of our mother and your son." He then called over to Lady Wang, "Show me, why is my pickled vegetables not tasty?"

Lady Wang came to the yard and tasted it in front of the pickled vegetable jar. After she added some ingredients and chatted with each other, she asked him, "You won't leave until after the new year? "Just work harder and give it another try."

Madam Xu spat lightly: "What nonsense are you talking about, you're already an age. Furthermore, the number of silver this year is much less than the previous, so how can one more live on? "

Lady Wang asked again, "Has he seen the Xiaowan?"
