The birth of a princess was a joyous event throughout the world. Both Kang Di and the Princess had given the Li Prefecture food as relief so that the citizens could live a peaceful life.

The losses of the villagers could be big or small. As usual, Ling Chaofeng and Xiaowan took out their own money and entrusted their friends to help them. Ling Chaofeng even personally came to Qingling Village himself, and gave his father-in-law fifty silver, to make up for the losses suffered at home.

This was Madam Xu's first time seeing Xiaowan deliver real money home, so she was naturally unlucky. However, it was only silver, so she could only stare blankly at it.

However, she did not dare to be stubborn in front of the Master Mu, who said that he would use the money to buy wood bricks to build a house, and give some to the village's poor family.

Therefore, they thought of another person coming over. With Aunt Wang's family's plan, the two of them brought some food that was cooked by their own families and rushed over to the town on the muddy road, regardless of whether the fence yard was still in a mess.

At this time, the servants of the various stores were busy picking up whatever they could and even fighting with the common people to pick them up. Everywhere was a complete mess, causing people to feel annoyed.

Rouge Shop were pretty good, the shelves were originally built very high and were firmly nailed to the ground, so the loss in the store was not that big. The shop assistants only needed to clean up a bit, but the place to live in the backyard was extremely pathetic.

When the Madam Xu and the Aunt Wang came here, they rolled up their sleeves and helped her to clean up without saying anything further. Yue Huaiyin repeatedly said that there was no need to, but the Madam Xu put on an act, "We were just worried that you girls would not be able to handle it, so we specially came to help.

As expected, Yue Huaiyin would not let them down.

Although Rouge Shop could not be used to do much business, there were still a lot of things that had to be done in the outside world. With her savings and income, even though Madam Xu and Aunt Wang were bottomless pits, she could still afford to have them.

One had to know that it was the easiest thing in the world for someone to do with money.

The Madam Xu and the Aunt Wang each received twenty silver. Yue Huaiyin even said that she was embarrassed to say that the money in the store was insufficient, and since the bank had not yet recovered, it would be difficult for them to get the silver.

Not to mention twenty liang, even two liang of silver, the two women were happy. Not only did they bring back silver back to the village, they even brought back the legends of Ling Xiao Inn.

Very soon, everyone in Qingling Village knew that, in this disaster, only Ling Xiao Inn was unharmed.

Originally, they were afraid of the inn because they wanted to kill people and rob them of their meat buns. But now, no matter how scared they were, they were afraid of demons and ghosts.

It was unknown who started it, but they told the county magistrate's yamen that they needed Ling Chaofeng to move out of the inn, and that they needed the county magistrate to drive them out of the Baisha Town, causing an uproar.

On the 28th of the Moon, Ling Chaofeng was taken away by the Fast Catcher, but before that, he found out from his friends in the town what the citizens were thinking about these past few days.

When Ling Chaofeng left, he brought silver notes with him. When he arrived at the yamen, he immediately denied that his own inn was not affected by the water and was soaked to the brim in a similar fashion. It was just that the inn was tall and the people did not have anything to do with it.

After saying this, he sent the banknotes, which were worth a thousand taels of silver, to the old master to provide assistance to the victims.

The county magistrate's eyes lit up, his eyeballs were about to fall out of his sockets. Hearing Ling Chaofeng say that he would make another trip to Li Prefecture to request Master Liang's help for the commoners, no matter how foolish he was, he would understand.

Ling Chaofeng used money to appease the situation, but if he was not satisfied with his kindness, he would have to use his relationship with the magistrate to deal with him.

He was only a sesame seed official and his annual salary was not even fifty taels of silver. Previously, when he broke the big case, he was waiting for the imperial court's reward, but now that the New Year had arrived, he couldn't even hear the sound of a copper coin.

From this, one could see just how wealthy Ling Xiao Inn was. However, he could let the long line fish go, and slowly grind up with them in the future. If he really drove away this God of Fortune, then wouldn't that just ruin his own road to wealth?

As a result, Ling Chaofeng left the yamen and returned to the Ling Xiao Inn s under the strange gazes of the people on the streets.

Yue Huaiyin stood in her own shop and watched. If Ling Chaofeng wanted to go back, he would have to pass by here, he was still as elegant as ever, how could he be so good-looking?

The weather was cold and the people on the street were all cowering. Only he, wearing a black robe and with a grey fur collar, had such a cold and noble temperament. Why would such a person appear in a rural area like this?

Yue Huaiyin lied on the door and stared at it for a long time.

That night, the county magistrate arrived, this disaster had him busy throughout, and half dead from exhaustion. Finally, he found comfort on the beauty's body and laid on the bed with a face full of sleep, allowing Yue Huaiyin to clean him up.

Yue Huaiyin endured the disgust, doing inhuman things, and suddenly heard the bastard say: "Ling Chaofeng is such a generous person, now master I am the one with the true power and wealth, a thousand gold, if it was silver, could you bury me here? "Hahaha …"

"A mere inn, to have so much silver. Sir, aren't you surprised?" Yue Huaiyin scoffed.

"Who cares how he got the money. If he gets the money, I will get the money. What can those noisy commoners give me?" The county magistrate spat out the words, "I thought that we could peel off a layer of the government's food aid, but that old thing Prefect Liang personally visited all the villages. He thought he was too high-profile, so he must have filled his stomach before deciding whether he lived or died. "Old thing, if I can get past him one day, I'll definitely kill him first."

A plan formed in Yue Huaiyin's mind, she acted like a spoiled child and said: "Master, I have never seen such a large amount of banknotes, can I take a look at it?"

Zhi Prefecture was also quite alert. He said in a displeased tone, "What? If you take it and run far away, what will you do about it, Master?"

However, Yue Huaiyin held his life foundation and said: "I am your man in life, and death is your ghost, I am afraid that in the future, when I am old, I will be despised by the great masters. Now that I am young, I will have to serve you with all my heart. This humble one's heart is as clear as the sun and moon. I never thought that my lord would doubt my heart so much. "

She looked like she was about to cry, and her words stirred the old pervert's soul as she hurriedly said, "Alright, alright. I'll come over tomorrow night and let you have a look." However, on New Year's Eve, you won't be able to come here on New Year's Eve. After the fifth day of the new year, the master will have to stay here for three days.

Yue Huaiyin laughed, but avoided his gaze, and immediately revealed a sinister expression, "Just you wait, one thousand gold, I will make sure you do not even have a single silver coin, if you want to leave safely, dream on."

The next morning, after sending off the old pervert, Yue Huaiyin closed herself in her room. The servant girl came over to deliver some tea and saw that she was concocting something.

However, at night, Zhi Xia came and showed the banknote to Yue Huaiyin. She took the opportunity when the old fellow was sleeping to spray some water on the banknote, and then placed it back when it was dry.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Yue Huaiyin sent him out and promised to meet him again on the fifth night. Yue Huaiyin purposely reminded the county magistrate to check his silver notes, and he said smilingly that she would put it in a box to pay respects to her ancestors. She would have to show it to the old mother for a long time.

Yue Huaiyin was even more happy.

In the blink of an eye, it was another New Year's Eve. Although Ershan was not at home, Da Qing and Susu had brought their two old mothers over, the entire family was bustling with noise and excitement, and there was also the baby that was about to be born in Xiaowan.

After the meal, Xiaowan was worried that the child in her stomach would be scared, but she never thought that this little fellow would be so excited that it would drill around Xiaowan's stomach, instead saying that Xiaowan could not eat it, Ling Chaofeng had already sent her back to her room long ago.

He angrily said to his wife, "If you continue to torment Mother, when you come out, you'll be beaten everyday."

Xiaowan snickered: "What does a child know? You are not allowed to hit a child, that's the flesh that fell out of my body."

However, Ling Chaofeng said seriously, "If you're still going to be so mischievous in the future, then we can't avoid a fight."

Xiaowan said: "It's better for Ershan to be obedient because of you. What if we are really stubborn girls or kids, and the more you beat him, the more rebellious he becomes? Furthermore, it's fine if you have a son, but if she's a daughter, would you be willing to part with her? "

Ling Chaofeng said seriously: "It doesn't matter if they are girls or not, as long as they dare to do something that makes you sad, I will not forgive them."

"Don't be angry, it's the new year." "Why are you so blushing? Our child is definitely the best in the world, he'll listen to you if he loves me. Let's not talk about anything else. Just by my birth, how can it not be good? "

Ling Chaofeng calmed down a little and said with a pained heart: "I can't bear to see you suffer."

The Xiaowan smiled warmly: "It's not hard, it's not hard at all. "If there's anything I'm unhappy about, it's probably the fact that the county magistrate cheated me of so much money for no reason at all."

Ling Chaofeng advised her, "Wait until Lord Tang gives his permission for me to make a move and kick him out. I'll give you a thousand silver and bring it back to you."

The Xiaowan laughed happily: "I will wait and see. Buying rice and oil for the citizens is better than giving it to that beast."

Aunt Zhang's laughter, it was like a year had passed. Xiaowan cuddled in her husband's embrace and said, "I wonder how Ershan is doing in the capital. I really hope that she can be with Lian Yi next year."

Ling Chaofeng replied: "Definitely."

"Right." Xiaowan thought of something and cautiously said, "Hubby, with a promising future like Ershan, his reputation in the capital and even in the entire country, with more and more people knowing about him, there will definitely be more and more people knowing about our Ling Xiao Inn, is that alright? If the matter of us collecting wealth for the imperial government were to be discovered and spread out, wouldn't the Emperor abandon us? "

Ling Chaofeng looked at Xiaowan in shock. Unknowingly, she had already turned from a silly countryside girl into a smart and steady little woman. Although she was still as delicate and soft as before, making people love his, he gave him a whole new level of respect for the things in his heart and mind.

"Husband, if the emperor abandons us, will we no longer work for the imperial government, or will we completely disappear from this world?" The Xiaowan was very serious, "Should we hide our identities and start a new life elsewhere?"

Ling Chaofeng nodded his head, "If that day really comes, then the inn and I will definitely disappear. Naturally, the Emperor won't want our lives, and I won't easily compromise, but if that day really comes, I'll have to bring you and the Aunt Zhang out of this place."

The Xiaowan said, "That's only natural. After all, if we were to be exposed, it would be of no use to the Emperor."

Ling Chaofeng said again, "But you don't have to worry about it because of Ershan."

"Is that so?"

"Ershan still has things he needs to do. That matter will cause others to ignore our existence."

The Xiaowan asked curiously: "What's wrong, Ershan, he …" Those who were becoming more and more quick-witted suddenly understood, and whispered: "Master, could it be that he is Ershan's background?"

As for New Year's Eve, it was a celebration of the emperor getting his daughter. The streets and alleys in the capital were decorated with colorful lanterns and lanterns. The scene was bustling and lively, as if it was a paradise on earth.

Inside the Bi’s Mansion, after eating dinner, Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi was sent back to the Inner Palace. Then, he and his wife went back to their bedroom.

Mrs. Bi helped him change his clothes and held onto his thick cotton-padded robe. Seeing that the man was calm and relaxed, she said: "It's been so long.

The Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi looked at her and said indifferently: "He's just a country bumpkin. What do you want to hear? Mother's eyes are blurry, and you take it seriously. "

"But …" Mrs. Bi looked panicked, "What if it's true?"

Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi sternly replied: "How is that possible, he's already dead."
