When Auntie Chen and Susu rushed to the yamen, her brother's body was already cold. He said that she had snuck in to steal from the county's house last night and was temporarily imprisoned.
Susu and Auntie Chen also understood that this disgraceful thing must have angered the prefectural city. A foreigner might even die, and as long as Susu and Auntie Chen did not pursue this matter, no one would take it seriously.
After taking them out of the cell, Ling Chaofeng, who had received the news, had already brought the people from the candle shop over for treatment. They were about to send them to the cremation grave then sprinkle them inside the Baisha River.
Ling Chaofeng asked them: "If you do not pursue this matter, this matter shall end here."
Susu said indifferently, "Before he died, did he not know that human life was actually so lowly? When he looked down on me and my mother, did he not even think that there would come a day when he would take revenge on himself?" She said to Ling Chaofeng, "Shopkeeper, it's quiet from then on, I have nothing else to worry about. We don't want to pursue the matter."
Ling Chaofeng nodded, promised a few taels of silver to the bailiff, and went with the mother and daughter to take care of matters behind their backs. Susu was worried that this matter was unlucky, so it was a taboo for the Xiaowan to be pregnant.
However, Ling Chaofeng said: "Our inn is free from any restrictions, as long as a person can live properly, everything is enough."
In the tavern, Xiaowan had been fidgety ever since she heard that Susu's brother had died. She had only wished for the person who brought Big Brother Susu here to bring him back, then, even if it was Susu's brother who found him, she would have been able to go back by herself.
But once he went back, why did he go back to the Yin division?
The Xiaowan was indeed shocked, but she was no longer as scared as the time when the Prefect Meng died. Instead, she turned to the silent and silent Jade Ring and said: "Even if you didn't discuss it with me, how could you be so ruthless. That is also a human life."
At that time, Ling Chaofeng was just returning from the outside, when he pushed the door open, he heard the Xiaowan muttering. It was not very clear, but it sounded like the Xiaowan was talking to someone else, he was stunned for a moment, and there was only the Xiaowan lying on the bed, not anyone in sight.
"What are you talking about?" Ling Chaofeng asked casually as he took off his clothes and replaced them with clean ones.
"Nothing." This time, Xiaowan was even more nervous than when she found out that Susu's brother was gone. Her eyes shook slightly and she lied, "I'm talking to the child."
Ling Chaofeng did not think much about it, and only laughed: "He's still so young, how could I hear you?"
The Xiaowan asked him: You've settled the matter with Susu?
Ling Chaofeng came over and sat down, explaining in detail that's brother definitely did not commit suicide. He must have provoked the prefecture, or found out about some unspeakable things.
The unconscious officer did not go with the flow and push the blame to Da Qing, or push the matter to the inn. It was clear that he did not want them to investigate it and dig up something shameful.
The Xiaowan sighed, "If I ever have the chance to meet the Emperor and Empress again, I want to sue them and cripple this unconscious official."
Ling Chaofeng laughed: "The matters of the imperial government are not something we, the martial arts people, should handle."
The Xiaowan said, "But Hubby is clearly someone who does things for the imperial government."
Ling Chaofeng shook his head: "My parents originally wanted to help the common people, for example, when they were raising funds for the disaster, or when the imperial government was short on money, but in the end, the common people took advantage of them. Naturally, I also want to inherit their will and run this inn. "
Xiaowan said in admiration, "Father, Mother and I are such great people. It's a pity that I didn't get the chance to see them."
Ling Chaofeng rubbed her head: "A mischievous little wife, always being silly, they definitely cannot like her."
Xiaowan knew that he had done it on purpose and laid in Ling Chaofeng's embrace, "It's enough for master to like me." She counted with her fingers, "In a few days, Susu will marry Da Qing. In a few days, Ershan will rush to the capital to take the exams.
When he was first here, that guy who got so nervous and agitated, had become so calm and free in less than a year. The most precious thing was that she did not lose her edge because of it.
"Husband, do you like your son or your daughter?"
"You asked it eight hundred times."
Xiaowan said shamelessly, "Why don't I remember …"
Thus, the disturbance in Susu's family could be considered to have passed. Although it was strange that they came, and the ending was unthinkable, by the fifteenth of the sixth month, the injuries on Da Qing's body had healed a lot. Even if it did not heal, it could not affect his marriage.
Thinking back to when Susu was sold to the capital by her brother, the pain of mother and daughter parting from each other was so painful that even Auntie Chen didn't dare to imagine that they would one day reunite and live a good life together.
to Ling Chaofeng, to Xiaowan, to Aunt Zhang, it was a thousand thanks, and he almost kneeled down and kowtowed.
On the other hand, Aunt Zhang said, "If you had not gone to the capital to bring her out, we would not be where we are today. It is more important that you took that step forward first, you are our daughter's savior."
The wedding wine lasted from noon until night. Uncle Biao drank until he was drunk, he hugged his wife and wanted to kiss her mouth, then was disdainfully pinched on his thigh by the Aunt Zhang.
Ershan, on the other hand, drank a few mouthfuls before being chased back to his room to study. Susu felt that he was pitiful, but Ershan disapproved and said that if it wasn't tough now, then he would be miserable in the future.
The Xiaowan was making a ruckus, Susu was afraid that she would be too happy, so she injured his child and begged Ling Chaofeng to bring her back. Ling Chaofeng smiled and picked her up, and said to Xiaowan: "Shall we go back and make trouble?"
The people of the village still did not know that the Xiaowan was pregnant, they laughed merrily, so shy that the Xiaowan hid her face. As such, they blessed Susu and Da Qing and wanted to return to the tavern, and granted Susu a few days of leave so that she could settle her wedding and return to work.
As the night deepened, the shops on Baisha Town closed one by one. The town quieted down, and the doors to the Siyun Pavilion were also closed. The shop assistant who was closing the door looked at the street and sighed.
He didn't know if the county magistrate would come today, but he was worried that one day, his young mistress would die in his hands.
At this moment, Yue Huaiyin had just finished her bath and was wrapped in silk. As she walked past the mirror, her clothes suddenly slipped off her shoulders and a reflection of her scarred body appeared in the mirror.
Every inch of his skin was once a precious treasure that had been created on the palm of his hand. But now, it had been casually trampled upon by others. Would he know, would he feel sad? Would he still care about himself?
"Miss, let's clean up the bathtub." Outside the door, the servant knocked on the door. Yue Huaiyin put on his clothes and let them in.
When they were busy, Yue Huaiyin suddenly asked: "Is Susu married today?"
The servants replied: "That's right, I heard that the Baisha Village is very lively today, so the people from the Ling Xiao Inn have all gone. They said that, somehow, this year, Ling Xiao Inn has gradually become a little different from before. More and more people have seen the Manager Ling, and they began to not believe that it was a black shop. "
"Not in the first place." Yue Huaiyin sneered.
"It's a pity that Susu didn't come to invite us." The servant girls muttered, "I thought she would definitely come to invite the young miss to have some wedding wine with us, I even prepared a wedding gift for her, but she can't give it to us anymore, it's such a big thing and she's not thinking about us anymore, Susu is seriously."
They talked and carried their things out, and the room was quiet again.
Yue Huaiyin sat under the window while blowing on the hot and dry breeze, and was unable to calm her heart.
Although he was kicked out of the capital, his journey back was smooth sailing, and there wasn't anything difficult about his landing at Baisha Town.
However, she didn't know when it had started, but everything had turned sour. Everything she planned would eventually come to her.
Yue Huaiyin curled up and accidentally knocked her ankle against it. The pain had assaulted her and caused her to be extremely agitated, but a thought flashed through her mind as she remembered what happened last winter.
That day, when she intentionally threw herself in front of the inn in the snow and ice, it attracted Ling Chaofeng's warm welcome.
At the moment, Yue Huaiyin found it strange that her ankle had swollen like a steamed bun that day, and was filled with unbearable pain. It had almost hurt her bones, but the next day, it had actually completely recovered.
At that time, she had been completely immersed in the regret she had towards the elegant Ling Chaofeng, and had very quickly forgotten about this doubt. Thinking about it now, how could an ordinary person fall like that, and be cured on the second day?
Calmly thinking about it, everything that had to do with Ling Xiao Inn was so strange. They were indeed not a black shop, but they must have something different about them.
Yue Huaiyin sat up, if there was really something strange, how would she go about investigating it? Was the weird one Ling Chaofeng, or Mu Xiaowan?
"Miss." Suddenly, he heard the servant girl's voice coming from outside the door. "magistrate is here."
Yue Huaiyin closed her eyes in disgust, but the man quickly broke through the door and laughed, "Huai Yin, the old master has brought the ointment for you."
The servants closed the door and quickly retreated. They did not know how the young miss was being tormented by the magistrate tonight, but they did not understand why the young miss had to rely on the county magistrate. Even if she had to leave the Baisha Town and go somewhere else to settle down, it would be better than becoming a plaything in the prefectural city.
A few young and beautiful maidservants were most afraid of a day when the young miss would hand her over to the county magistrate as well.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the end of June. The scorching summer had yet to leave, and July was about to arrive.
The newly wedded Susu had already returned to work, and over the past few days, everyone had been busy packing up Ershan's luggage. This time, Ling Chaofeng had entrusted a person from the mighty escort team to bring Ershan to the capital, and the people in the inn would not go any further after sending out the Li Prefecture.
On this day, Xiaowan's father came back. After passing through the Ling Xiao Inn, he came to see her daughter.
Xiaowan asked, "Why did you only come back after the summer?"
The Master Mu laughed: "After taking over a job, and getting to where I am now, and giving me a lot of money in the summer, I wanted to come back after I finished my work and go out next year. As I get older, I get older and older. In another two years, I'll be going home to farm. "
As he spoke, he sized Xiaowan up and smiled: "Looks like it's even better than January. Xiaowan, have you gotten fatter?"
Xiaowan didn't want to talk about him having a child. He didn't want his father to go back and talk to him, so he was silently cursed by the woman. He only laughed: "Eat good food and drink everyday.
