However, Ling Chaofeng said: "Do you want to go to the roof to take a seat?"

"Roof?"

Ling Chaofeng turned his back and let Xiaowan lie on his back. He told her to hold his neck tight and then climbed out the window.

Seeing her half floating in the air, the Xiaowan was extremely frightened. "Husband, I'm scared."

But Ling Chaofeng easily went onto the roof. After he steadied himself, he put Xiaowan down and the two of them stepped on the roof as they walked towards the roof. The Xiaowan was trembling as he held onto his hand tightly, staggering every step of the way.

Finally, she sat down on the roof ridge and inadvertently raised her head. The lights in the distance stunned her. He never thought that he would actually be able to see such a distant Baisha Town in this place.

"It's a pity that it's blocked by a mountain. Since I can't see the Qingling Village, naturally, the Qingling Village will be further away as well. Even without the mountain blocking my way, I won't be able to see it clearly." Ling Chaofeng laughed, "If you want to see further, we can climb to the top of the mountain another day."

Xiaowan said, "I can't climb up that high."

Ling Chaofeng said: "I'll carry you up."

Xiaowan shook his head and leaned over while hugging his arm, "Hubby is going to be tired. I can't bear to do it and I don't want to see Qingling Village either."

The spring breeze was slightly cool and cozy, and now, it could no longer be treasured properly. In the blink of an eye, it would enter a scorching heat, with distinct Baisha Town's four seasons, making it the most peaceful and comfortable place.

They sat in silence for a while. Xiaowan slowly opened her heart and talked about what happened during the day. She said that she watched Yue Huaiyin getting beaten up and did not help him with anything.

"I couldn't hold it in and told the truth to Susu." The Xiaowan smiled bitterly, "I won't save her, and I won't allow others to save her either. Hubby, why would I become so cold and indifferent right now? I once told my aunt that no one in the village would help me when I was a child, not even a word, and one day I became one of them. "

Ling Chaofeng said: What if Susu was raped that day, and Da Qing was unable to save her?

Xiaowan looked at him with sparkling eyes: "So you also think that?"

Ling Chaofeng nodded: "The grudge between her and the National Duke's Madam has nothing to do with and you. She is not in the Baisha Town, and would be treated in this way elsewhere. Since I knew that the one who came was the National Duke's wife yesterday, then I know what she wanted to do. But I didn't do anything, right? Then, would you think that I am cold-blooded and heartless? "

Xiaowan shook her head. "I don't, but I don't know either."

Ling Chaofeng said gently: "Moreover, she treated Susu in such a vicious manner, to the point that he did not have any intention of repenting. It is only natural for you to hesitate, don't make your kindness so worthless. Furthermore, everyone has their own selfish motives. If you don't charge forward, I will be at ease. Under such circumstances, what if I attack you as well? Should I go beat up National Duke's wife again? "

Xiaowan laughed, of course, it was not a happy laugh, so she said helplessly: "You always have a way to coax me, even if I were to poke a hole in the sky, you would help me fix it right?"

Ling Chaofeng said in displeasure: "Go and fill up the sky first, I'll take care of you when we get home."

Xiaowan was not afraid, she just laid in her husband's embrace: "Frankly speaking, what does it have to do with me, I don't need to cause trouble. On the other hand, Susu is much stronger than I thought she would be. Hubby, Susu is working hard, no matter what, I will not regret saving Susu. "

Ling Chao Feng said, "Su Su has experienced a lot. She has seen a lot of similar things. After she has recovered from her shock, she will naturally be able to calm down and think about things calmly." Now, it seems that you were right to tell her. Otherwise, if she met Yue Huaiyin again, she would be pitiful.

Xiaowan had heard of that fable before, but in the village, everyone called this person an ingrate, and she was the ingrate in the eyes of her stepmother.

Xiaowan was extremely familiar with the sounds of the whip whistling through the air as Yue Huaiyin was being beaten up. She knew how painful Yue Huaiyin was, and she knew that she was in a miserable state this time.

In the past, not to mention such a terrifying sight, even the few wounds on Susu's body was enough to make her unable to control her emotions. How much hatred did she have?

The Xiaowan said, "If Hubby you were lured away by her, what can I do? The National Duke's wife is of noble birth, even if I beat her to death, she wouldn't be afraid, so what can I do? No wonder I hate her, because if she succeeds, I'll have to shed tears. "

Ling Chaofeng lightly pinched her chin, turning her stiff face directly towards himself, and said coldly: "I don't love you to think like this, and say whatever you say, so let's not even joke around. If there's a next time, let's see if I'll be merciful or not."

Xiaowan's mouth was being pinched, she could not help but mutter: "I was just analyzing why I hate her so much, not just thinking random thoughts, furthermore you being fierce is useless against me now, I'm not afraid of you anymore."

Ling Chaofeng laughed, "You're not afraid anymore?"

Xiaowan shook herself off and raised her chin, "I'm not afraid at all."

Instead of being punished, she was rewarded with a sweet and warm kiss, each of which was filled with her husband's love. The empress said that when Hubby looked at her, his eyes were like pearls and jade like treasures. However, when Xiaowan saw him in his eyes, she only knew how to giggle.

Their movements on the rooftop attracted the attention of Uncle Biao, who probably feared that they would be robbed. Xiaowan waved his hands at them and laughed heartily as she brought Ershan back.

Ling Chaofeng said: "Ershan is leaving early in July. If he is able to successfully stay in the capital, when we go at the end of the year, we will be able to see him."

Xiaowan asked: "Are you really going to take me to Beijing?"

Ling Chaofeng laughed, "Didn't you say it already? You can bring me to see the fireworks in the imperial palace. But if I tell the empress that you've gone, I might even bring you over to the palace."

Xiaowan shook her hands and said, "I don't want to go to the Imperial Palace. How can a small commoner like me go to the Tian Family?

Ling Chaofeng said: "Then let's put on our clothes and watch from the top of the tallest building in the capital."

"The capital …" Xiaowan sighed lightly. Her feelings for that place was really complicated.

After sitting for a long time, they went downstairs. Xiaowan did not eat dinner, but her stomach was growling due to hunger. The food was already cold, so she went to the kitchen to get some hot water to soak in.

Since the Uncle Biao was willing, he simply took out a large claypot, and used broth to boil the cold rice into soup. Then, he laid down a glistening yellow poached egg.

As the Xiaowan was eating, she remembered that Yue Huaiyin had told her that she was coming to the tavern to try her cooking skills. Her heart sank as she silently clenched her fists and clenched her right hand.

This was all she could do.

After a night had passed, Siyun Pavilion s which normally opened their doors with a fragrant scent early in the morning had closed their doors. The surrounding shops had already opened and the silence here was especially conspicuous.

As the passersby walked by, they were all pointing at each other. There were even some who said that they felt that such a beautiful woman must be strange if she went to a foreign land alone to do business. As expected, she was not a decent person.

When the sun was a little higher, someone would knock on the door, wanting to return all the rouge and water powder they bought.

In front, there was a ruckus, disturbing the people living in the backyard. If National Duke wanted to live here, Madame would have no choice but to obey, even if she loathed it. Only now did she get up to dress up, and upon hearing the ruckus outside, her servant girl said: "Those are commoners, they are coming to return the goods."

The Madam sneered and looked at her husband, "Husband, do you want to help her with her business?"

National Duke did not say a word, and ordered his servant girl to dress him up.

"Let's see if she's dead. If she's still alive, bring her here." With this order, the Madam dismissed the servant girl and personally helped her husband dress. She smiled and said, "Since she is unwilling to leave with us, whether she lives or dies in the future has nothing to do with us. For you, my husband, to raise her for fifteen years is also to sacrifice your kindness and benevolence. If such a person were to remain by your side, it will be a disaster in the end. "

National Duke had long since gotten used to his wife's power. He had to admit that when Emperor Dingdi and the current Emperor no longer needed him to assassinate some people, he would become useless among the nobles of the imperial court. The title of National Duke could only be passed down to three generations, and it wasn't impossible for a person to be cut by his waist before three generations had passed.

His wife was the relative of the late Imperial Concubine Fu, thus he was also the relative of the Prince Shen’s Mansion. The relationship between the women could be considered friendly, but no matter what, they were a part of a family that he relied on. Before, he didn't care about his wife's jealousy, but now, he couldn't be stronger.

He cared about Huaiyin, after all, he was the one who raised the most considerate person, but she was still a woman. In the face of the big picture, his wife could not be forgiven, and he could abandon her anytime.

Initially, he thought that he would no longer hold her in his heart, whether she was alive or dead. He didn't expect to find out that she was spending her days here.

It was rare for his wife to come back to his hometown, so he came here for a while without any effort. Indeed, the beauty was still the same, making him change his mind.

Yesterday, when he saw Yue Huaiyin being beaten to death in the crowd and even being stripped naked to the point of humiliation, his heart was only filled with helplessness and frustration. Thus, she decided to just walk away.

And Yue Huaiyin was the person who understood him the most. Under the circumstances yesterday, she clearly knew what the National Duke was thinking.

At this moment, the heavily injured person was being dragged over. She was weak and powerless, so the female servants kicked her, kneeling down on the ground.

When the door closed, she said, "Today, the Crown Prince and I are going back to the capital. There are some things I need to warn you about, and I hope that this will be the last time I see you. The next time I see you, I'll come to collect your corpse."

Death, was that terrifying? Yue Huaiyin sneered.

"You are laughing at me."

Yue Huaiyin's eyes were ice-cold. "Madame is tying down her man, but his heart has already detested you fifteen years ago. What meaning does such a person have?"

National Duke bellowed: "Huaiyin, what nonsense are you spouting?"

The person on the ground struggled to get up. Her entire body was covered with wounds, and every part of her body was filled with piercing pain. It was so painful that she was almost numb. She smiled desolately. "You told me that yourself."

"Shut up!" The man was furious.

"Don't tell me you think he has you in his heart?" The Madam laughed coldly and said, "At this point, he will only tell you to shut up. What are you so proud of? You don't even have the qualifications to take fifty steps and laugh at everything."

National Duke looked at his wife angrily, but clenched his fist tightly, not daring to scold her in front of Yue Huaiyin.

Madam Ye sighed and said in the end, "Since you are unwilling to go to the capital, then you are not allowed to leave this place even half a step. But if you leave this place, then I will make you wish you were dead, and do not think that I would not be able to see you. Don't you think about how I found this place? "

She looked at her husband. "Hubby, do you have anything else to say to her?"

National Duke coldly turned his back, not saying a word.

The Madam then called the servants over and ordered them to prepare for the journey. She then said: "That's right, did you give me the money for the Ling Xiao Inn Shop?"

The servant girl replied: "I paid for the room the other day, but I didn't count the money for the meal. I don't know if I'm going back last night, but I'm going to pass through anyway, so I'll pay when the time comes." "The duke, madam, the carriage has been prepared. It's time to start on the road."

National Duke said: "You guys leave first, I'll be there shortly."

Yue Huaiyin raised her head to look at her man, holding back the last sliver of hope in his heart.

"Do you want to see this woman naked and hanging on the street?" asked the Countess with a smile.

National Duke's eyes were bloodshot. He clenched his teeth and endured, looking at the people on the ground one last time before leaving with a flick of his sleeves.

"Accreditation, Accomplishment …" Yue Huaiyin shouted with all her might, but the people outside were walking further and further away.

She weakly collapsed on the ground. After an unknown period of time, Little Cui's legs were trembling as he squatted in front of the door and asked, "Little, Miss … Many people have come to return the goods, and the store is about to be destroyed. "

"Go to my room and get some silver and return it to them." Yue Huaiyin opened her eyes, as if she could still see the man in her heart. A thought flashed through her mind, what did the woman just said, was she asking herself, why did she come to this place?

The first to tell her that National Duke had left the capital with WeChat was Ling Chaofeng, and that this woman had come here to live in the Ling Xiao Inn. Yesterday, when Susu had rushed over to save her, she found Mu Xiaowan standing by the side of the road coldly.

Her gaze was as dark as the night. When she closed her eyes, she used her sore spot to tell herself that she was still alive.

On this side, when Xiaowan was pouring water for those who passed by, she saw a horse carriage slowly approaching, followed by more than ten people. It was similar to that day when she came from the pier.

Yesterday, when Xiaowan saw that familiar face in the crowd, it was the man that she had seen sitting in the carriage back then.

Putting aside all these matters, just looking at that face, it was no wonder that Yue Huaiyin would never forget it. However, who would have thought that under that face, there was not a single heart that was blissful.

Yesterday, Xiaowan had personally seen him and coldly withdrew from the crowd. Hubby previously told her that the relationship between them was at least ten-odd years, but after more than ten years, they could not even exchange a single word.

Since the carriage was also from an inn, they decided to rent it to the pier. Uncle Biao followed to bring the carriage back, allowing him to bring a few buns to give to Da Qing at the pier.

But when the Uncle Biao returned two hours later, he laughed and said, "Da Qing is having a fragrant pancake for lunch today, what are we worrying about?"

Xiaowan remembered that she didn't have time to eat the cake that Auntie Chen made yesterday, so she was happy in her heart.

After the commotion had passed, Xiaowan would go look for Susu every day other than working in the shop. It was not that Susu was not allowed to come to the shop to work, it was just that she felt embarrassed whenever she thought about riding on Da Qing's cart. Naturally, the Xiaowan would not force her. After finishing her work every day, she would come to visit her home.

The people of the village gradually got to know the Auntie Chen, and it was very easy for news of some things happening in the towns to reach their homes. The Xiaowan only found out from the aunts that some people went to the Siyun Pavilion and wanted to return the goods, but the next day, the yamen office appeared.

They sat on the side and looked at each other, then Susu said: "Anyway, it has nothing to do with us."

Xiaowan nodded: "I know."

At this time, Ling Chaofeng arrived on horseback. All the aunts in the village loved to see him and smiled at him, "Manager Ling, why are you here so early today to fetch my wife?"

Xiaowan also came over and said, "Why are you so early?"

Ling Chaofeng alighted and whispered into her ear, "There's some good news I urgently need to tell you, do you want to hear it?"
