Susu returned with a bun in her arms and said to Yue Huaiyin: "Miss, the bun is still warm, why don't you try it too."

Yue Huaiyin said indifferently: You guys go ahead and eat, I'm not hungry, have you told Xiaowan to rest?

Susu replied: "I did, but Xiaowan's mental state is not very good today, and I don't think her complexion is good either."

"Bad health?" Yue Huaiyin asked.

"I don't know." Susu laughed in joy, "Tell me, could it be that there is more? I really hope that she can quickly give birth to a big fat boy for Manager Ling. "

Yue Huaiyin was unhappy and waved her hands, "The buns are getting cold, take it."

However, Xiaowan was not pregnant, she was scared by him.

After using Jade Ring for so long, they had done so many things, but they had never dared to do bad things. Last night, she had lost her mind and could not let go of this evil idea, so she cursed Prefect Meng for dying early. But it was really just a thought, he did not think of letting them die, but, the Prefect Meng actually died.

The Xiaowan felt both guilty and terrified. She didn't know how to explain it to others, so she could only suppress her emotions and stand under the bridge while the cold wind blew. She actually had a fever that very day, not waiting to even finish selling all the buns, Uncle Biao and the Aunt Zhang were already in a rush to send the child back.

When Ling Chaofeng saw Xiaowan being carried in by the Uncle Biao, he immediately frowned and accepted it. The little girl was burning hot as he looked at him with tears in his eyes.

Ershan went to get a doctor, and came over not long after. After looking, he said that it was from the cold, and after taking a few medicines, he should be able to quench his fever.

A healthy person suddenly became ill, naturally, Ling Chaofeng's heart ached. Yesterday, Xiaowan was not right, her entire person was strange, at night, her Qi was deep and violent, as if she had been possessed by evil.

"Master, I didn't catch a cold or have a breeze. I'm wearing a lot of clothes." The man with the fever said softly, "I am not ill."

Ling Chaofeng had said before, he was not allowed to get sick. When he was sick, he had to take care of her, and that was just to scare people and play with her. Now that she was afraid, he could not help but blame himself and said patiently: "Just sleep obediently, and wake up."

"I'll listen to you …" Xiaowan grabbed his hand and closed his eyes, but his tears still flowed down.

Ling Chaofeng was curious, did he scare her, or did he really bump into something? He was not superstitious in the first place, but he was worried about the Xiaowan, and could not help but let his imagination run wild.

After waiting for the Xiaowan to sleep peacefully, Ling Chaofeng withdrew himself from the room. The Uncle Biao told him that the Prefect Meng passed away suddenly when he was sleeping, but Ling Chaofeng had long received the news.

Before, he did not pay attention, but now, thinking about it, Prefect Meng suddenly changing his mind on the day of the Academy Competition to make things difficult for Ershan, might have been a trick on Yue Huaiyin's part. After all, she had taken the initiative to ask for help, but he had rejected his request.

Ershan followed the doctor back to grab some medicine, and Aunt Zhang quickly used it to boil. Just as he was about to follow the doctor to the kitchen, he was pulled over by Ling Chaofeng.

"Aren't you going to take a look?" Ling Chaofeng asked.

"Go..." "Where?" Being asked blindly, Ershan did not manage to react.

The Uncle Biao laughed: "Foolish brat, Prefect Meng has braided her hair. Such a good opportunity, why don't you go take a look outside the residence?"

Ershan said with a red face: "It's not good to take advantage of someone."

Uncle Biao laughed and slapped him on the back, then said to Ling Chaofeng: "This brat, what do you care about taking advantage of others' situation, how will you be able to get on stage in the future?"

Ling Chaofeng said: "Go, let's ask Miss Meng if you need our help."

Ershan's eyes lit up, and confirmed once again: "Brother, can I really go?"

Upstairs, the sleeping Xiaowan heard the Uncle Biao's laughter faintly and thought to herself, everyone is happy, that's good. She did not have the strength to open her eyes, nor did she dare to. She was afraid that if she opened her eyes, she would see the ghosts of the Prefect Meng coming for her life.

"Hubby …" Xiaowan whimpered. He could feel that his hands were empty and Ling Chaofeng was not by her side.

After sleeping for an unknown period of time, someone suddenly called out to her. "Late, late?"

When the Xiaowan heard the gentle yet familiar voice, she opened her eyes in panic.

Xiaowan had wished to see her again in his dreams countless of times. She either returned the Jade Ring to her or asked her who the hell she was, but she had never been able to meet her again.

"Grandma, you should take the ring away." Xiaowan choked with sobs, crying out, "Grandma, I killed someone!"

The white-haired nanny sat by the bed, gently caressing her cheeks, wiping away her tears, and said with a smile, "You didn't kill anyone. This ring is just a toy, how can it kill someone?"

The Xiaowan said anxiously, "I made a wish last night that this Prefect Meng would hurry up and die so that Ershan could be together with the Miss Meng without any problems so that the latter can experience less suffering. I didn't want him to really die, but he died last night. He really died. Grandma, I cursed him to death, didn't I? "

The white-haired granny laughed, "There is a cause and effect for everything in this world. The cycle of karma repeats itself endlessly. Late at night, the time for Prefect Meng to die, is when his lifespan is coming to an end. It wasn't because you cursed him to death, but because he deserved it. That was why you had this thought. Do you understand? "

Xiaowan cried: "I don't understand."

The child was so honest that the white-haired mother-in-law was amused. "I already said that this ring cannot be used to kill people, do you believe me? Don't you believe your mother-in-law's words? "

Xiaowan was startled, then nodded with tears in her eyes: "I believe you."

"Then that's good. Take her in peace. You can do whatever you want. It's your blessing to be late." The white-haired granny spoke softly, wiping away her tears once more. "Late at night, when you smile so beautifully, don't cry anymore."

Xiaowan immediately thought of an even more important matter and asked, "Granny, why is it that my wish on Hubby's body is always not working?"

The white-haired mother-in-law smiled but didn't say anything. She gently caressed her cheeks and said, "Child, go to sleep. Once you wake up from your sleep, you'll be fine."

Xiaowan felt very sleepy, his eyelids were so heavy that she could not lift them. She repeated the few sentences in her mouth, and unknowingly fell asleep again.

When she heard the gentle voice calling her again, she suddenly opened her eyes. Aunt Zhang had a face full of worry.

She was lifted up, she felt her husband's embrace, and then, something extremely bitter was poured into her mouth. She sobbed and trembled, and in the end, curled up on Ling Chaofeng's chest, and fell asleep again.

It was a very long sleep. When Xiaowan woke up, at an unknown time, Ling Chaofeng was sitting on the bedside, dozing off with his eyes closed.

"Hubby." Xiaowan gently called out, causing Ling Chaofeng to immediately wake up upon hearing the sound. He leaned on the bedside, touched her forehead and asked, "You're awake? Is there something wrong with that place? "

The Xiaowan shyly said: "I, I want to relieve myself."

Ling Chaofeng smiled, picked her up, and lightly pushed her. "Get out."

He retreated out of the room, and when the Aunt Zhang heard the commotion downstairs, they came up and asked: "Are you awake?"

Ling Chaofeng said: "He's awake. Her mind is much better now, all of you go sleep."

Aunt Zhang heaved a sigh of relief: "This child's foundation is weak after all. He had suffered so much in the past, who knows how many diseases he has accumulated in his body, and needs to be taken care of. Every time I see her hand, I feel pain in my heart. Such a beautiful child, but because her hand was once full of frostbite, her fingers became so swollen and thick, she was so envious last time when she saw Susu dye her nails. "

Not long after, Xiaowan said that she was done, she went in to take a look, and then went downstairs to rest. Ling Chaofeng took out a small dish called porridge, placed a small plate on top of it, and let Xiaowan eat it on the bed.

"It's not good to get dirty. I have strength. I can get off the bed." The Xiaowan said, she wanted to crawl up, but was pushed down by Ling Chaofeng, "It's dirty, I'll wash it, you just sit here and eat."

Xiaowan did not insist and followed his instructions, slowly eating half a bowl of the porridge. As she ate, she thought about what had happened in her dream. Xiaowan was startled and stopped eating.

"What's wrong?" Ling Chaofeng still felt that his wife was a little strange.

"Master, do you know? Prefect Meng is dead." The Xiaowan said.

"Understood, Ershan has already gone to see Miss Meng, and is busy with the funeral matters, Miss Meng is doing well, please rest assured." Ling Chaofeng said, "Even if this matter is over, I do not need to alarm the capital, although it is bad for the people of the Meng family, but for us, it is still a good thing."

Xiaowan remembered that Granny said in her dreams that she didn't kill Prefect Meng, and Granny said that the storage ring couldn't be used to kill people. Xiaowan decided to believe her.

"When I'm done, I want to go to the temple and pay my respects." The Xiaowan lowered his eyes and asked softly, "Husband, can you?"

"Of course." Ling Chaofeng promised as he carefully looked at his wife. He couldn't help but say, "Late at night, no matter what happens, you can always tell me. We have nothing to discuss, understand?"

Xiaowan nodded, but she could not say anything about the ring. She still wanted this ring, and still wanted to keep her divine power. She had no ability or intelligence, so she couldn't help her husband in any way. With this ring, she could more or less do something.

Xiaowan pushed the shorter one away and laid in Ling Chaofeng's embrace. She had scared herself to death today, she really thought she had killed someone. Feeling the warmth from her husband, Xiaowan felt at ease. Her mother-in-law had said that the Jade Ring was her fortune, but she felt that Ling Chaofeng was hers.

"You're not allowed to get sick again, I'll let you off this time." Ling Chaofeng lightly kissed her forehead, "You're sick, my heart aches a lot."

The next day, Susu went to the tavern. Yesterday, she was already worried about the Xiaowan's health, but she didn't see them coming to Rouge Shop to rest. She told Yue Huaiyin about it, and told him to let her have a look today.

"I'm fine, don't worry." Xiaowan and Susu were like sisters, naturally, they were very happy to see her.

"What a pity. Yesterday, I was thinking, could it be that you're happy? If your complexion isn't good, then it might just be a bad thing." Susu peeled the oranges, tore them one by one, and gave them to Xiaowan, saying, "You have to take good care of your body, the weather will warm up soon, it's a good time."

Xiaowan smiled, blushing: "Don't speak nonsense, I'm not ashamed."

Susu said: "I'm no longer a big girl, what's there to be shy about? If I could marry a good man, I would only hope to have our child. It's a pity that I don't have such a good life."

Xiaowan stroked her hands and comforted her not to be discouraged.

But suddenly, she thought, could she make a wish for the heavens to give Susu a good husband? Grandma said that the cycle of karma would repeat itself again and again, and that it was not necessarily her giving a good man to Susu out of thin air.

But Susu then said, "But I don't believe in men anymore, it's good that I've been there myself. I told my mother that since we're not born a mother and daughter, and have such fate, we might as well take care of a child that no one wants in the future and pass on this favor."

Xiaowan hurriedly suppressed her thoughts. She shouldn't think too much about it, Susu naturally had her life, so she didn't need to worry too much about it.

agreed. After Aunt Zhang left, she closed the door and ran back and said to Xiaowan in a soft voice, "Xiaowan, I think our young miss is a little strange right now."

Xiaowan did not care about Yue Huaiyin at all, and asked lightly: "What's wrong?"

Susu said: "I don't know if it's because I was thinking too much, but I feel that she seems to be … "Cough, cough." Susu coughed dryly, then said hesitantly, "I think that in the past, she might have been a flower lady from the Cyan Plaza."

Xiaowan was stunned, what did that mean?

Susu muttered: "The scented powder she concocts is truly an excellent top quality product. When I was in the capital for two years, I could be considered to have some knowledge about it, but she did not become a female official in the palace. Furthermore, she is born so beautiful, and her origins are mysterious.
