In mid-August, the capital held a country level exam. In previous years, the country level exam would always be held in the various provinces. This year, because of the inauguration of the new monarch, the examinees from various places would be gathered in the capital. It was rumored that the examiners would choose to remain in the capital and would be taught classes under the supervision of the Crown Prince.

On this day, with autumn rain pouring down, Ershan was the first to walk out of the examination hall. Outside, there were many family members waiting for him, he walked through the crowd alone, into the drizzling rain.

Just then, a beautiful carriage came over from the street, the crowd was pushed away, the curtains of the carriage were lifted, revealing a noble face, Ershan was startled, his gaze was frozen.

More than ten years had passed, but she was still as beautiful as ever.

One after another, exam candidates walked out of the field, the servants following by the side of the horse carriage immediately held up umbrellas to welcome the young man who sat in front of Ershan just now, was escorted by everyone to the carriage.

"Mom, I'm done with the exam. Wait until I become the top scorer. Dad can't scold me because I have no future, but I will give you face." The young man smiled proudly. The beautiful madam extended her hand and caught him in the carriage.

As the carriage moved forward, the curtain was lifted by the wind. The woman was wiping the sweat off her son. The mother and son were talking and laughing, and it was as if the sun had risen.

The people outside the training grounds gradually dispersed, and the rain gradually gathered. Ershan unconsciously walked towards the direction of the carriage.

He could still remember the road, and he could still remember where the house was headed, all the way until he reached a large house. It was heavily guarded, and no one was allowed to come near it.

In the past, he was the little gongzi of this mansion. But now, he was just a commoner.

Ershan laughed coldly. A complicated hatred emerged in the eyes of a person drenched in sweat.

"Time is up. I have never forgotten about it." Ershan looked at the beautiful door and said slowly: "I am here to take back everything that belongs to me."

After August passed, most of the places in the Daqi Nation had already entered into the late autumn. The ranking for the hometown examination would be released in the middle of September, and news of Baisha Town coming from the capital would take at least three or four days.

In the ninth month, other than Ling Chaofeng, everyone else in the inn was looking forward to Ershan's good news. The stomachs of the Xiaowan also gradually surfaced, and the rich and beautiful young lady's personality became soft, and became extremely lovable.

In those seven and eight months, Xiaowan had been vomiting heavily. She would make delicious food for her every day, but she would always try her best to push it down, and although she would vomit cleanly in the blink of an eye, she would lie in Ling Chaofeng's embrace. She would even laugh and say, "Run out from my mouth, I've tasted it again, it's not wasted."

Ling Chaofeng's heart ached, he carefully protected her and until now, he finally did not vomit, and he slowly recuperated. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.

Xiaowan would softly say, "Hubby, it's so hard to raise a child, why would your parents be willing to part with you?

But in this world, there were still countless abandoned children. Just as the Emperor said, not everyone in the Mrs. Meng was qualified to be a parent.

In the latter part of September, when everyone was eagerly waiting for news from the capital, Ling Chaofeng finally had some expectations. He said to Susu behind his back, "That person only likes to pretend to be calm.

Susu laughed: "Then only you know."

On this day, a merchant gave Da Qing two baskets of crabs. He then sent them to the inn and invited the shopkeeper to have a taste.

Naturally, Ling Chaofeng and the others weren't interested in crabs, but it was rare for Da Qing to be so kind, so Uncle Biao said that he would cook a few more dishes tonight, to bring over both Auntie Chen and Susu's mother-in-law.

The Xiaowan was pregnant so she could not eat too many. Ling Chaofeng broke open two legs of the crab for her, and the sweet crab meat also made her eat happily.

As everyone was talking and laughing, the door to the inn was knocked, causing everyone to be stunned. Xiaowan quivered and said: "Could it be that Ershan has some good news?"

Da Qing immediately ran over to open the door, but when he did, he was stunned. He quickly turned around and said: "Innkeeper, a guest is here."

Ling Chaofeng stood up and welcomed them. A family member walked in from the darkness, including an old couple, a young couple, and a young married woman carrying a five to six-year-old girl. She seemed to have carried the child for a very long time as she slowly put the child down.

"Will you be staying in the restaurant or eating?" Ling Chaofeng asked gently, his gaze sweeping past the crowd and landing on the young lady, his eyes trembling, while the other side dodged frantically.

There really is an inn in this desolate mountain and forest." The older woman snappily said, "If I don't take the good waterway, I'll have to change to the dry one. If I miss a day, that will be the end of me.

The young lady lowered her head and said, "Mother, Little Xuan is really dizzy. I …"

Old Madem glared fiercely at her, then said to Ling Chaofeng: "Open two rooms, we will stay here, how much do you guys want for one night?"

Ling Chaofeng said lightly: "Two hundred gold for one night."

At the Xiaowan's side, when everyone heard Ling Chaofeng's bid, they could not help but look at each other in dismay.

All along, it had been 10 taels of silver from the south and 5 taels of silver from the north. Why did it suddenly become 200 taels of silver a night? Even the inns in the town required five hundred taels of silver for one night. Was he afraid that ten or five taels of silver would scare away these guests?

"It's not expensive at all. It seems like the store is clean as well." Old Madem muttered a few sentences, then turned to his husband and son and said amiably, "I'm tired, go to sleep early."

Susu came to lead the way for the guests and the young woman picked up her daughter. Aunt Zhang walked forward and said with concern: "Are you seasick? We have some medicine in the store, do you want to get some for the kids? "

"Thank you so much. I also want a bowl of porridge. The child has vomited for two days and hasn't had anything to eat." The young woman was filled with gratitude, but when she saw Ling Chaofeng walking towards her, she immediately carried the child and ran upstairs.

After the Xiaowan saw them go up the stairs, her gaze turned towards Ling Chaofeng. It had been a while since she last saw her master revealing such a serious expression, even when the Sky Martial Gang came to kill, he still felt as calm as the wind. What happened today?

Especially since he had returned the money back to Yunpeng Clouds in one night, did he really want to keep these guests here?

Since the guests had arrived and everyone was more or less done eating, they didn't stay any longer. Da Qing sent the mothers back first. He stayed back to help clean up the dishes and bring some hot tea and hot water as well as porridge to the customers. Then, he came back to bring her back.

"Aunt, I'll come earlier tomorrow. Don't make Xiaowan move, sher body is more important." Susu was very considerate, after speaking with the Aunt Zhang, he followed her master and went back.

Along the way, Da Qing said: "I saw that Old Madem was very fierce to her daughter-in-law. When the young wife came here, her forehead was covered in sweat and her entire body was trembling.

Susu sighed: "The shopkeeper said that we only need to eat and not meddle in other people's business. We can just take a look at other people's affairs." She reached out to help Da Qing straighten his clothes, "I'm blessed to have met you and my mother, who both love me."

Da Qing chuckled, seeing that there was no one else on the road, he took a sip of the soup, and the two of them went home happily.

Ling Chaofeng closed the door. The Xiaowan and the Aunt Zhang took a bath in the bathroom, and then the husband and wife went upstairs together.

He had just walked past the second floor and reached the third floor when he heard a ruckus downstairs.

The cloud mist door suddenly opened, and the young woman was pushed out. The old lady raised her hand and slapped her face, scolding, "How many times do you want me to tell you? If you can't do it, then you can't. If you continue pestering, be careful of my family."

The young wife did not bother to cover her face as she knelt down to hug her mother-in-law's skirt and said, "Mother, Little Xuan is still young, but she's only six years old. Mother, I beg of you, don't marry her out."

Old Madem kicked her away and said fiercely: "Then you should be the one to give birth to a grandson. After entering the sect for so many years, you already gave birth to such a money-losing guy. Fine, if you want me to let you go, then kneel here. If you have the ability to kneel until tomorrow morning, I will consider it. "

The door closed with a bang, and the frail and weak woman kneeled straight in front of the door. She seemed like she was really prepared to kneel until tomorrow morning, Xiaowan felt very uncomfortable, but Ling Chaofeng said: "Go back to your room."

Entering the door, Xiaowan said: "Then Old Madem is also a woman, how can he say that our granddaughter is a money loser. Hubby, is she going to send a six year old child to be a child's wife?"

Ling Chaofeng's expression was solemn: "Mind your own business, you're here again."

The Xiaowan asked in reply, "Master, since when did our inn's inn became a one night business? Who in the world is meddling in other people's business?"

Ling Chaofeng said lightly: "I just feel pity for that child, thinking that it's too expensive to scare them off, so what should I do with the child? As for their family matters, we can't do anything about them, and we shouldn't. "

The Xiaowan still wanted to speak, but Ling Chaofeng made a bed and looked at her seriously, telling her to go to bed earlier.

Xiaowan muttered in dissatisfaction: "Tonight, you are acting very strangely. If you don't tell me, I won't bother with you."

Ling Chaofeng became softer and continued to coax her: "Otherwise, what should we do, go beat up that Old Madem? Do you know why? "Be obedient, close your eyes and sleep. Even if you don't sleep, the child will fall asleep too."

Xiaowan turned his body and ignored him, he was angry.

As the night deepened, Xiaowan was worried about the young wife. Furthermore, she only woke up during the day and slept until dusk.

After an unknown period of time, she suddenly felt Ling Chaofeng move, so she closed her eyes. Her husband seemed to be checking to see if she was asleep, so he got up and quietly left the room.

Xiaowan opened her eyes and turned around. Seeing that there was no one on the bed, she got up and walked to the door as well. Through the crack of the door, she saw her husband slowly walking down the stairs.

Ling Chaofeng walked towards her. She turned around and saw Ling Chaofeng reaching his hands out to her, as if he wanted to hug her, but the lady pushed him away forcibly.
