Seeing that the Xiaowan was still so determined towards his family, Ling Chaofeng felt that he should not say anymore, and said to her: "Since that's the case, I will no longer ask about father-in-law and my family, but if you need me to do anything, there's no need to worry too much. We are husband and wife, we can discuss anything."

"Husband, don't worry. I know it in my heart." Xiaowan said, "Right now, I am not afraid of anything, I am not worried about anything, I am wholeheartedly following you."

"You're not running anymore?" Ling Chaofeng asked with a smile.

"Hmph, don't always bully me." Seeing that he was bringing up that matter again, the young lady was dainty and extremely proud. "When I become more powerful, you'll have it all."

In the cold wind and the dark night, laughter rang out in the air. The carriage was originally traveling alone on the desolate road, but the two of them were in their own world, warming each other's hearts.

Xiaowan continued to mutter, "Hubby, I still can't remember when I saw you and wasn't just playing with you."

Ling Chaofeng laughed: "Maybe you didn't see me. Next time, I'll bring you to visit, maybe I will remember."

Xiaowan asked: "Did you want to marry me because you found me attractive?"

Without hesitation, Ling Chaofeng replied, "Or rather, it's destined to happen in the underworld. I asked the matchmaker if there's a girl like you in the vicinity, there really is one."

"What if she marries someone who isn't who you're thinking of?" Xiaowan asked.

"I will treat you well too. It doesn't matter whether you are the girl by the river or not. What matters is that I marry you." After Ling Chaofeng said this, he wrapped the clothes on his body tightly to protect her from the cold, "Evening, if I had honestly come over to propose marriage myself, I wouldn't have made you suffer so much."

With just a few sentences, young lady's heart was filled with passion. Her husband was so smart and powerful, but when he spoke of love words, she was mesmerized. She no longer wanted to think about whether or not she deserved it.

When the carriage arrived at the inn, Ershan was already waiting for them. Xiaowan tiptoed to put up the notice, and Uncle Biao and Aunt Zhang came out to look. When they saw each other, they smiled, and Xiaowan asked: "General Chuanyu, are you from the same place as last time when you saw that lady?"

The Aunt Zhang said, "The Chuanyu is big, they might not come from the same area." She looked at the words on the notice and said to herself, "A generation in the blink of an eye."

Uncle Biao read it twice as well: "He only said that he had established the empress, and not a concubine?"

Xiaowan hurriedly said, "I know about this, there was no concubine in the palace in the past, and the founding emperor of our Daqi did not have a harem."

Aunt Zhang pulled her in to avoid the wind and laughed: "The previous generation is a special case, but in the future it will not be easy to say. If this generation can bear with it, it will not be easy."

From their point of view, the imperial concubine Emperor and Empress Qiu's passing should be over by the time they die. They might even break this rule before they even pass away.

I wonder how much of her mother-in-law's charisma this new Empress Wei has.

As for the new empress's background, although the Xiaowan didn't understand, they knew that the young great general of Chuanyu was a well-known figure. There was the Shen Family Army to the north and the General Wei to the south, an existence that caused the hearts of the people to be at ease and the nation to be called the leader of the nation or an enemy that was trembling in fear.

After that, it was just as Ling Chaofeng had said. The imperial government had issued many policies to reduce taxes and other benefits to the citizens, so that the citizens of the entire country could bless the new ruler.

By the middle of October, it was already snowing in the capital. The Baisha River was a little to the south, and it was snowing all the way until November.

After waking up in the middle of the night, the back mountain of the front gate was a vast expanse of white world. When Xiaowan married, she had a snow-white fur in her closet, and now, she was wearing big fur clothes as she stood in the snow, blending with the snow behind him.

In the past, Xiaowan was most afraid of snow. Her clothes and shoes didn't avoid the cold, and when snow got wet, it would freeze on her body, so cold that her fingers and toes were about to break. Having grown so much, this was the first time she felt that snow was so fun and beautiful. With the beautiful scenery of the snow, she wandered around in the snow before Aunt Zhang called her back for breakfast.

Early in the morning, there were people heading to the dock to catch the boat. Since the winter road was not easy to traverse, they didn't need to worry about the money. Most of them would ride in donkey carriages to get there. In front of the Ling Xiao Inn door, Ershan had long since swept away the snow and thin ice. Although the people here kept saying that the Ling Xiao Inn was a hoodlum shop, once winter came, only this section of road in front of the inn that led to the dock was the easiest to walk on.

They would also heat a stove on the side of the road with a kettle on and a table at the side for passers-by to drink hot tea.

Naturally, those who had the courage to stop and drink tea were few and far between.

These days, the inn received a few guests one after another. They all ate and stayed for the next few days before leaving peacefully. It was not like when the Xiaowan had first entered, where there were thrilling events occurring one after another.

Xiaowan was very smart, she had long memorized the Three Character Classic and the Thousand Character Classic, and recognized even more words than before. The notice that was posted in front of the door was no longer difficult for her, even if she learned the accounting from Ling Chaofeng, her calculations would be very quick.

Gradually, she was able to handle everything in the inn, but no matter how spacious the inn was, it was still limited. After a while, she would inevitably feel bored.

These days, she was whispering to the Aunt Zhang, feeling restless and unsatisfied. This was not good.

Aunt Zhang laughed. "This is the human heart, if there really is no desire, there is no difference between living and dying, right? You're still so young, you should be full of blood and liveliness. "

It was also true that the Xiaowan did not covet gold and silver, but wanted to experience even more new things. When she first arrived, he was scared half to death by the grudge between the guests. Only now did she realize that the world was really very interesting. No wonder Hubby and his aunt were able to stay here for twelve years.

When they entered La Yue, Uncle Biao cooked two big pots of porridge, leaving Ling Chaofeng to look after the house. The rest of them rode in a carriage to the town, and under the bridge, they spread out the poor and beggars.

Not only was there porridge to drink, each person even received a hundred gold. As for those who wanted to cheat and eat, Uncle Biao stood at the side with his hands on his hips, staring daggers at them, not daring to go forward.

Xiaowan was responsible for holding the porridge, and always filled them up to the brim. The two pots of porridge were finished very quickly, so Aunt Zhang brought Xiaowan to the town's restaurant to buy some food to eat, then give them some food.

As luck would have it, when she met Susu, she was waiting in front of the restaurant. She said that she had saved some money and wanted to buy a roasted chicken for the Auntie Chen.

"Although the food in our restaurant is pretty good, we can't just casually eat it. My mom always leaves the meat in her bowl for me." Susu held the bag of money and said with a pained heart, "I saved it myself. I was just thinking about giving her a good dinner for the holidays."

Not long after, the waiter took out a roasted chicken with a lotus leaf bag. Susu poured all of the copper coins out of his money bag just enough.

When she heard that the inn was under the bridge, he followed to help out. Her package was placed right beside her, and after another round of eating, Susu turned around and her roasted chicken was gone, along with her new pair of cotton shoes.

The people who came and went a while ago had not noticed that perhaps it was a beggar who had gone with them. He had truly betrayed their good intentions.

Aunt Zhang and Xiaowan had to fork out some money to buy more for her. Susu waved her hands: "Forget it, just treat it as giving out some money for me. When I save up more money, I'll buy more for my mother. If I take your money and my mother finds out, she will feel bad and won't be happy eating. "

He told her that he would send her back to the Rouge Shop and that if he was willing, they would go to the tavern for the holidays on New Year's Eve.

When they returned to Rouge Shop, Little Cui went out and smiled: "I heard some movement from the horse carriage and thought that young miss had returned. Why haven't you come back so late today?

But at this moment, ten miles away from her, Siyun Pavilion's carriage was stuck in the snow, while Yue Huaiyin and her two boxes of expensive spices were being flung out. The heavy wooden chest pressed against her feet, causing her to almost faint from the pain.

Coincidentally, he fell not far from the Ling Xiao Inn, and when Ling Chaofeng heard the commotion, he came out to look. He just happened to see this scene.

Yue Huaiyin's leg was severely injured, and she could no longer walk, but when Ling Chaofeng walked towards her, her heart was beating so hard that she almost forgot about the pain in her leg. When the man gently hugged her, her mind went blank, and the pain and coldness caused her face to turn completely red, covering the excitement in her heart.

She and the servant were brought to the tavern. The wooden chest was sturdy and the spices were good, but Yue Huaiyin's ankle was swollen like a big bun, causing Ling Chaofeng to spin slightly, in pain causing her to scream out loud. His eyes were watery as he trembled and said, "Manager Ling, you can't touch it, you can't."

Ling Chaofeng said: "I want to see if my bones are injured. Miss Yue, you just have to endure it."

As he spoke, she held onto her ankle and turned. A sharp pain assaulted him, but Yue Huaiyin was unable to keep up with it.

Ling Chaofeng carried the unconscious person to the guest room and told her: "First take the things back to the shop, and then bring two maids here to take care of your young miss. I don't have any female servants here, so it's inconvenient for me to take care of them.

But at the moment, Yue Huaiyin was already awake. She closed her eyes, listening to Ling Chaofeng's voice, not long after, the room did not have any movement. She opened her eyes, and Ling Chaofeng had indeed left.

The furnishings in the guest room were simple and exquisite. The mattress and quilts were all made of fine satin. The winter clothes were made of plain silk, and even the tablecloth was an exquisite brown brocade.

There was a charcoal stove burning under the window, and with a slight opening, it wouldn't get too cold nor too stuffy. The air in the room was especially clean, unlike Siyun Pavilion where even the corners were suffused with the fragrance of makeup.

Ling Chaofeng should be downstairs, he just said that all the women in the shop were not there, Yue Huaiyin knew that. When she was preparing to go to the dock to pick up the goods, he heard from the shop assistant that Ling Xiao Inn was coming to the town to be distributed, and she knew, Ling Chaofeng would never show himself.

As the carriage approached the inn, she jabbed the horse in the rump with a blow needle and sent him into the snow.

Her ankle was in so much pain that even her bones were broken. However, this fall was not only visible to her, but also brought her body into contact with his arm. His arm was so powerful that his chest was boiling hot …

As Ling Chaofeng was downstairs, he suddenly heard the sound of someone falling on the floor above him. He went upstairs to see, only to see Yue Huaiyin rolling on the floor, struggling to get up, and seeing him, he timidly said: "Manager Ling, I, I just want to try, and see if I can stand up."

Ling Chaofeng said: "You better not move about recklessly. The bones are not broken, but I'm afraid that there are cracks too. If you don't recuperate properly and leave behind the root of your illness, you will suffer for a long time in the future."

No matter how he looked at it, it looked very pitiful. Ling Chaofeng couldn't just stand there and not move, so he attacked again and picked her up.

He looked at her swollen ankle: "Wait for your servants. We should delay them. We have cold compress on you now!"

Not long after, Ling Chaofeng came back with a water basin in his hands. The basin was filled with ice and snow, and after using a towel to dry it, he placed it on Yue Huaiyin's ankle.

"If it wasn't for Manager Ling, I would have frozen to death in the snow." Yue Huaiyin said gently, "I am also a businessman. I am in the martial arts world, how can I have the rules of those rich families."

Ling Chaofeng did not say anything, her ankle was badly swollen, and the towel was quickly warmed up by the wind, repeating this process over and over again. Outside the tavern, his own carriage had also returned.

Xiaowan ran home excitedly, and the moment she entered the door, she shouted, "Hubby, we're back!"

Ling Chaofeng replied: "I'm here."

Yue Huaiyin's expression darkened immediately. When she heard the sound of footsteps coming from the stairs, she saw a beautiful figure appearing in front of the door and tried to focus her attention again.

Xiaowan ran over with a pair of knee guards in hand. ShShewas originally so excited that she wanted to give them to Ling Chaofeng to wear so that he could ride the horse in winter to protect herself from the cold. He did not want to barge in and only saw a beautiful woman leaning on the bed, with half of her legs exposed.

Inexplicably, Xiaowan felt a little stuffy in her heart. It was unknown if it was because she suddenly ran from a world of ice and snow into a room that was as warm as spring, and was heated up.
