Jinxin had said the same words to Ling Chaofeng yesterday. At night, he had wanted to explain it to the Xiaowan but his wife had played around with him.

He turned around and left, allowing them to continue their conversation. Perhaps, rather than listening to her explanation, Xiaowan would be more interested in listening to Jinxin's story.

Beside the well, Jinxin said with fixed eyes: "After he gave birth to her daughter, his body suddenly went bad, and she was unable to speak humanly. Even though he was still in the mood to ask questions or torment me, I didn't know what was wrong, and even a doctor wouldn't be able to cure him. She warned me not to tell anyone. My mother-in-law asked me why I didn't allow him to take a concubine, but in reality, it was he herself who refused to take one out, afraid of being found out. "

Jinxin rolled up her sleeves and continued to scrub the pillow and sheets. Her arms were riddled with wounds, just like how Xiaowan used to be.

Jinxin said: "He's still alright. After all, when we were together back then, we could also be considered to be in love. "It's my mother-in-law. She was waiting for me to give birth to her grandson, so she wanted to beat me to death so that I could renew her son's song and find excuses to beat me up for all sorts of things."

However, Xiaowan was furious: "What does it mean to be lucky, it will definitely hit you once, it will definitely slap you in the face. There was no difference between fighting once and fighting a hundred times ten times. The first time he hit you, you should have … "

She was getting excited, and felt that she had talked too much. Back then, when she was being tormented by the Madam Xu, she also had no other choice. With the current result, no matter if it was her or Jinxin, she had experienced countless resistance and struggles, but her life was fortunate. When she met Ling Chaofeng, Jinxin would not have such good luck.

"Your parents don't care about you either?" Xiaowan looked down and changed her mind.

"I still have a few brothers and sisters in my family, as well as a whole house full of them." Jinxin laughed bitterly.

She knocked on the laundry stick very rhythmically, and said: "My parents only send me a letter every year, and the letter always says that business is getting worse every year. To put it bluntly, no matter what happens to me, I will try my best not to cause trouble for my family. I am a married man, so I am a member of another family."

Since her family was like this, what else could the Xiaowan say. Thus, in her heart, she admired the Auntie Chen more and more.

Jinxin continued: "Husband's family is also a businessman, it's not easy to do it in these two years. My mother-in-law really wants to rope in her big client and knows that Master Zhou likes girls. "In fact, if you don't even count as a daughter-in-law, a daughter-in-law would at least grow up. But once Little Xuan goes, he will be raised by that old b * stard …"

Her two hands covered her face, and while trembling, she suppressed her tears. She grinded her teeth even more tightly: "Before we left, I personally saw that damned beast reach out his hand to touch Little Xuan. His parents are also by his side, perhaps to check his body for Little Xuan. When I rushed in, he just carried me on his back as if nothing had happened and told his mother that it was all right. Then he ran away. "

Jinxin lowered her hand, but her eyes were dead as she gnashed her teeth, "From that day onwards, I wanted to kill him and her parents. But at home, I was powerless to resist. I once tried to run away with Little Xuan, but they found out and almost beat me to death. No one can save me, no one can help me, and for the sake of my daughter, I can only endure. "

Her face finally regained its color, "When we went out together this time, I knew that we would pass a place called Baisha Town. Although Zhaofeng and Aunt Ling had left the capital very early, there were still some correspondence coming and going, and I knew that they were staying here. Here is my last hope, and luckily the heavens did not end my path, allowing me to see the sign on the Ling Xiao Inn. "

Xiaowan pursed her lips and asked: "But when you entered, did you not recognize him? She came to see you at night, so why did you push him away? "

Jinxin asked: "Did you see what happened at night?"

Xiaowan nodded. "I heard the commotion, so I came out to take a look."

Jinxin replied, "I am afraid that my in-laws will find out, and that my husband will find out. Before I have the chance to kill them, I do not want them to discover that I am related to them, nor do they want them to be on guard against me. I did not acknowledge the morning breeze, hoping that he would treat me as an ordinary guest and then let me do what I had to do. The Ling Xiao Inn was like this in the past, I think that it should be the same now. "

This time, it was the Xiaowan who was curious.

Jinxin said: "I have seen it a few times, and Chao Feng also told me that although I didn't understand it when I was young, I know that this is my daughter and I's last chance to live."

Jinxin lowered her eyes and muttered softly, "I know that there is still someone in this world who will protect me."

Xiaowan held the Sapphire Box in her hands. She had a strange feeling in her heart, she was naturally sympathetic and was willing to do her best to help Jinxin and Little Xuan. She shook her head. She couldn't be so stingy.

Jinxin looked up at her. Seeing the young lady at a loss on what to do, she smiled deeply.

Xiaowan said: "I saw you scattering the medicinal powder in the wok, I thought you were going to poison them to death."

Jinxin shook her head: "Under their noses, where do I get the poison from? It's already scary enough to be able to save up all these laxatives. How could it be so easy to kill? In fact, at the very last moment, I still hoped that Grandma would change her words so that I wouldn't have to kill her. But in the end, she was still so cruel and cold-blooded. "Sorry for the trouble."

The Xiaowan hurriedly said: "It's not a problem, we are just passers-by that we met by coincidence. We even made a move on you, not to mention you … Besides, you were once a good friend of my husband. "

Jinxin laughed, a profound look in her eyes. In the end, she was not a country girl like Xiaowan, who married in a big place like the capital city.

This part of the story made Xiaowan's heart heavy. It wasn't until Little Xuan and Susu came back from picking up chestnuts that the mood finally eased a little.

The boy told his mother excitedly that he had seen a squirrel in the mountains and that the squirrel had to pick chestnuts for the winter, so they picked a little less, so that the squirrel wouldn't starve in the winter. "

Uncle Biao took his children to cook Sweet 'n' Sour Chicken with chestnuts, and from time to time, would laugh. Every time he did so, he would smile at him, smiling the whole time as he finished all the work.

She stood among the sheets that flapped in the wind, the sun shining on her face. Perhaps it had been a long time since she had felt the warmth of the sun.

In the afternoon, Xiaowan woke up from her sleep and walked up the stairs. Seeing Jinxin and Ling Chaofeng chatting happily by the counter, looking at how intimate they were, as if they had never been each other before, Xiaowan's heart skipped a beat and she swallowed her thoughts.

After dinner, Aunt Zhang and Jinxin took a bath together with Susu, and the girl's laughter kept on coming out. Xiaowan saw that Jinxin's clothes were thin, and gave her her Qiu Chang.

When he fell asleep at night, Ling Chaofeng entered his room later on. Seeing that she seemed to have fallen asleep, he didn't wake her up. Xiaowan had his back facing Hubby, and only now did he faintly feel sleepy late into the night.

Suddenly opening his eyes, Xiaowan's heart tensed up. Turning around, he saw that the sky was lit up and Ling Chaofeng was still by his side.

"What's wrong?" Ling Chaofeng was very alert, as if he felt the Xiaowan's unease. He opened his arms and pulled the unsettled people into his embrace, "Have you had a nightmare?"

Xiaowan made a sound of agreement, but in the end, she did not say the words in her heart.

After being warm for a while, when she heard the sound of the door opening downstairs, she stood up and put on her clothes. A new day had begun, and Xiaowan did not know if it was every day from now …

"Manager."

When Ling Chaofeng clumsily combed his hair, he heard Aunt Zhang's movements from downstairs. When they came out, they saw Aunt Zhang standing downstairs and said: "Innkeeper, Jinxin and Little Xuan are gone, there's only a letter on the brick bed."

When Ling Chaofeng came downstairs, the Xiaowan helped him up the stairs. Ling Chaofeng looked at the letter and gave it to her, saying, "It's for you."

"Mine?" Xiaowan was stunned.

The sound of the early morning door opening was not because Aunt Zhang was awake and opening, but because Jinxin had left with her daughter. In the letter that she left for Xiaowan, she said thank you and also said that she was sorry.

She said she was a murderer and that she had given the inn so much trouble that she couldn't stay here any longer.

The father-in-law and the husband were also known to the local people. There were even relatives and uncles at home. The three survivors had suddenly disappeared, and there was a chance that someone would come to investigate this matter one day.

She did not plan to tell the people at the inn, nor would she tell Ling Chaofeng where she was going. She would bring the money her in-laws had looted from her body, and bring her daughter to a place no one knew about.

The only thing she needed from Xiaowan and Ling Chaofeng was to invite them to the capital to burn some paper money and burn some incense for her if her parents were gone in the future.

Xiaowan read the letter with tears in her eyes.

Ling Chaofeng quietly stood beside her and deliberately asked: "Are there any words you don't recognize?"

She was so petty, she thought that just like that, Jinxin took his children to seek refuge with Ling Chaofeng. She had thought that they would …

Ling Chaofeng lowered his head and whispered into her ear, "Did you think that something would happen between me and Jinxin?"

laughed: "Let's not talk about whether she has that intention or not. I have a little tigress in my house, do you dare?"

Xiaowan lowered her head and muttered: "I don't even belong to the tiger."

This day, only when Da Qing brought the goods from the pier to the town and returned back to the village and informed the shop that he came back with his daughter, did everyone know that Jinxin had left on a boat.

It was easy to find out where the boat was going, but no one knew where it was going to go next, or where it was going to go next.

Ling Chaofeng consoled Xiaowan, saying that she was definitely not the narrow-minded one, and said, "The inn will always be here, this is Jinxin's mother's house. Little Xuan has the most beautiful aunt in the world."

That day, Ershan's letter had finally arrived. He couldn't just send it to Lian Yi, he was afraid that the Meng family would intercept it, so he sent it to the inn as well, asking the shopkeeper to deliver it on his behalf.

It was a pity that the Xiaowan was not in a position to travel and bumpy. Since Ling Chaofeng could not bring her to visit the Li Prefecture, he rode his horse back and forth alone to deliver a letter to Lady Lian Yi.

As expected, Ershan was left in the capital, with the Crown Prince controlling the work, he invited the ministers, elders and generals to take turns teaching him, like this was New Year's Day, so he could not return home. And next fall, there will be a conference and hall test.

Ling Chaofeng's horse was passing through the town in a hurry. Yue Huaiyin happened to be standing in the shop and she saw it.

He heard the person from the shop opposite and said, "The Manager Ling rode his horse over there just now. Did you all hear that the hall in their shop was infected by the Top Scorer of our province?"

When Yue Huaiyin heard her, she looked at them in a daze. Seeing how strange she was, the other men did not dare approach her even if they were jealous of her beauty.

She remembered that she had promised Ling Chaofeng that after Ershan became a High Scholar, she would go to an inn to have a cup of wine. But now, they were like strangers walking down the road.

She hated him, hated him for luring the National Duke's wife here and trampling on her love.

But she was also grateful to him. In this world, only Ling Chaofeng had ever told her that without the Lust, she was a weak and powerless woman. Anyone could hurt her.

No one had ever told her that.

Yue Huaiyin's heart was at a loss. She walked into the shop and saw the servants packing the newly made makeup into boxes, which were shipped out in a few days. Her hands were clenched into fists, she had not been to the Baisha River Pier for a long time.

In the capital, when the Imperial Guards started their shift, all the students were all in uniform. They could not see through the aristocratic families and wanted to be treated equally. Many of them had already found high-ranking officials and some of them were already born noble, so they did not need to be anyone's student.

Ershan sat in his own seat, quietly looking at the book in his hands. He was the Top Scorer from the province where Li Prefecture resided, and other Top Scorers in the same hall.

The youth who had stood beneath the horse carriage and proudly told his mother that he was going to be struck by the Top Scorer sat right in front. Ershan put down the book, only to see a few people walking over, bowing respectfully and saying: "Young Master Bi, I have heard a lot about you."

Ershan laughed coldly, he had almost forgotten that his surname was not Ling, it was Bi.

But at that moment, when the people outside called out for the Emperor's arrival, everyone trembled and bowed down to greet him. Xiang Run walked over with big strides, and suddenly, he came.

"Get up."

Xiang Run was in high spirits, and wanted to see the pillars of the future. All the faces turned to look, but walked closer to Ershan, giving off an imposing air.

"Ling Yu, you really did come. Hopefully, next year, we can see you again in Announcement Hall. In this year, anyone can surpass you. Don't be too arrogant."

Ling Chen kowtowed to show his gratitude, while the surrounding people looked at him with astonishment. This unknown youth actually knew the Emperor?

When the Emperor returned and brought something interesting with him, he wanted to give it to her first. After knowing that the Emperor had gone to see Ershan, Siyan said in a displeased tone, "If the Emperor treats him this way, wouldn't that mean that others will be jealous of him?"

Xiang Run smiled faintly: "It's exactly what you mean. In this year, he will suffer many setbacks, especially when it comes to being pushed and suppressed by others. If he doesn't struggle and carve out a thick layer of cocoon, how can he withstand the bloody rain of the imperial government in the future?"
