The Aunt Zhang believed her and was extremely worried, "It's a pity that aunt has never had a child before. I don't know how to take good care of you, but the doctor said that the last few days will be very tough.

Xiaowan had to comfort her: "I just need to go out to take a breath of fresh air. Aunt, help me up."

When they walked to the door, the snow man that Susu had piled up was still there. That day, the strong wind, heavy rain, and flood of water did not do anything to him. Early this morning, Xiaowan didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she offered the snow man some incense.

However, she did not know whether it was because the snowman really had the ability or because she had made her wish with the Jade Ring with just a few words. In any case, she had already experienced such miraculous things one or two times, so she was not surprised.

"The weather is really good. It seems like there's never been a blizzard or a torrential downpour." Xiaowan looked at the cloudless and sunny sky, both of her hands on her waist, and said with a happy smile, "Hubby is right, a storm will eventually pass."

Aunt Zhang said: "How could it be so coincidental? Our princess was born that day, and at that time I stood upstairs and watched your Uncle Biao get blasted out on the boat. My heart is in my throat, if there were any mishaps with him, I wouldn't be able to live. "Who knew that the rain would suddenly stop and the water would suddenly retreat? Your uncle sat on the boat and didn't even have the time to retreat with the water before the boat crashed into the mud, scaring him senseless."

Aunt Zhang laughed heartily. She was afraid yet also interested at the same time. She then sighed with emotion, "That person's granddaughter must definitely be an outstanding person as well."

Xiaowan still did not know about the relationship between the Aunt Zhang and the Imperial Family, so she did not pursue the matter further. She was more curious and had to ask her sister-in-law, "You said that I gave the Empress a dream of giving birth to a baby, that the Golden Dragon is in my arms, and that the Empress is going to give birth to a little prince. But since the Empress gave birth to a princess, could the dream be reversed? "

Aunt Zhang propped up her cheeks and said: "Maybe I was just daydreaming."

Xiaowan innocently asked: "Or maybe, Aunt, is there a mother or a dragon?"

Aunt Zhang was startled for a moment, then laughed out loud. When Uncle Biao came out to ask her what was so funny, he said: "This child asked, does a dragon have a mother, do you think so?"

Historically, dragons were the totems of the emperor, the heavenly family. They were the legends of the ancient era, symbolizing the supremacy of monarchs. As for the empress, they were mostly made up of phoenix birds.

Xiaowan also thought that she had told them a joke, amused them a little, and no longer brought it up.

In the afternoon, Susu came over. Aunt Zhang and Uncle Biao, Da Qing and his two mothers went to the temple fair together, leaving the two young young lady at home.

When Ling Chaofeng went to the cellar, he went over to Xiaowan and bit his lips lightly. His face was flushed red from embarrassment, and Xiaowan asked in surprise, "Really?"

"I don't know yet. I'll go to the clinic in a few days and ask the doctor to take a look." Susu blushed and said, "Fortunately, you will be born next month. If I do have one, I won't hold up the shop's work any longer."

Xiaowan asked: Are you afraid that no one will be working in the shop?

Susu shook her head: "Nothing, the two of us have been doing fine all this time, the child will come when he comes, and he won't force anyone no matter what."

Xiaowan said happily: "In the future, if we give birth to sons and daughters, let them marry us!"

Susu laughed: "That requires your child to be willing."

Xiaowan was nervous again as she said: "If you have it, why don't you ride on the carriage and ride on the bumpy road?"

Susu laughed: "Da Qing is driving really slowly, and this time, the road has become much more flat after being washed by the heavy rain. Today, when we are riding on the carriage, it is stable and does not budge at all. Furthermore, my body is stronger than yours. Even though I've been suffering in the capital for the past two years, I've never experienced such hardships since I was young. "

Xiaowan advised her to take care of herself. She didn't worry about the shop's work, she just wanted to ask the Jade Ring to protect her so that Susu could give birth safely, just like the Empress.

A day passed quickly. In the evening, Bi Hanxi accompanied her grandmother back to their home, where everyone was extremely anxious.

The National Guardian Temple said that Old Madem had left a long time ago, but she did not return home for a long time. Furthermore, Old Madem did not bring many servants with his today, but he was closely followed by a few servants.

"Hanxi, where did you bring Grandma?" Mrs. Bi, who had been worried for half a day, scolded her daughter in anger, "You're getting more and more out of control. Go back to your room and kneel down. I'll come back later to take care of you."

The Old Madem said disdainfully, "It's the new year, you didn't try to have some fun, and you even put down your pride. What do you want to punish her for? What can happen to her if he stays by my side? Are you trying to show me because you don't believe me? "

Mrs. Bi immediately kneeled down: "My daughter-in-law doesn't dare to do that, it's just that you are too old to bring more people to serve you. Your daughter-in-law is afraid that you might get cold and get chilled."

"No, my little granddaughter and I are going out for a stroll, and it's more interesting than dealing with people at home who want to pay New Year respects." The Old Madem said coldly, "Alright, we will all be back eventually. No one is to pursue this matter, neither you nor her father are to investigate it. It's the new year, let's celebrate it with good fortune, don't put on a bitter face. "

"Yes." Mrs. Bi agreed helplessly.

Hanxi couldn't bear to see her mother being scolded by her grandmother, so she was stuck in a dilemma and had no choice but to help his grandmother return to the Inner Palace.

Before the child left, Old Madem warned her repeatedly: "Little Xi, this is our secret. No matter how much your mother asks you, don't tell her. Little Xi, you have to do what you promised Grandma, okay? "

Hanxi stiffly agreed, but she was a little uneasy in her heart.

She didn't know what had happened in the room after her grandmother asked Young Master Ling to take off her clothes. Afterwards, it was quiet. She was afraid that her grandmother would suddenly come out and find out that she was eavesdropping, so she went downstairs to sit and wait.

To put it bluntly, it was the problem of whether or not she recognized Ling Qian as the descendant of Bi Family. However, from her grandmother's reaction, if it wasn't, she would have died openly, could it be?

But since he was, why didn't his grandmother marry him? Why didn't she bring him back to recognize his ancestors? It was said that up until now, his father had never seen him either.

The situation here was truly complicated.

Furthermore, Hanxi knew that the Brother Xingye was born from her father's original wife, and even though her mother was now her father's legal wife, she was only a concubine at that time.

Could it be … Hanxi felt very sad in her heart. She felt that something extraordinary must have happened in this family all those years ago.

At night, Mrs. Bi came to visit his daughter and apologised for his harsh words towards her in the evening. How could there be any enmity between mother and daughter?

Mrs. Bi laughed: "It's always like this between daughter-in-law. When you become my wife in the future, you will understand. "As long as you can get along with them peacefully and have disputes occasionally, you don't have to worry about them."

Hanxi pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, as she thought back to what happened that day. When she and her grandmother left the inn, Ling Ying appeared very calm, almost as if he was the same as the first time they had met.

Grandmother, too, did not cry or feel sad, as if nothing had happened.

"Little Xi, where did you and Grandma go?" Mrs. Bi suddenly asked.

"He went to the temple fair." Hanxi answered, but she did not dare look straight into her mother's eyes. She avoided her mother's gaze and said, "I was just strolling around, and forgot the time to go home."

Mrs. Bi looked at her daughter. She was the child raised by her, so she did not need to ask clearly to know the answer.

His daughter was innocent, and he couldn't hide anything from his heart. If his mother-in-law wanted to find Ling Chen and find out if he was his grandson, she could go by herself. Was she intentionally bringing this child, who couldn't lie, with her?

What did her mother-in-law want? What did she want? Was he still hating her after so many years?

"Mother …" Hanxi took the initiative to speak.

"What?" Mrs. Bi looked at his daughter.

Hanxi rushed forward and hugged her mother.

Mrs. Bi snickered: "Mother is so tired today, my bones are hurting so much, stop tormenting me. "You're so old, and yet you act like a spoiled child."

Hanxi rubbed her mother's shoulder. No matter what happened, she would protect Mother and would not let anyone hurt her.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the fifth day of the new year. Aunt Zhang accompanied Auntie Chen and brought Susu to the town's infirmary to see a doctor.

The Auntie Chen was overjoyed, and they all went to the city temple to burn incense to pay their respects. When they came out, the Auntie Chen said: "We agreed to adopt a child. Now that you and Da Qing have children of your own, but after a few years, if fate wills it, if we meet someone who doesn't want a child, we can still adopt one of them.

Da Qing and Susu were both willing, but Da Qing was even more gentle and considerate. When carrying his wife onto the cart, he had to be careful.

When they stopped at a roadside stall to buy dates for Xiaowan, they heard people gossiping that something had happened at the Prefecture Lord's house. It had turned the world upside down and several concubines had been tied up in the yamen to be beaten, asking if they had stolen anything.

Everyone was curious as to what treasure the county magistrate had lost. It was a new year's worth of fighting and killing.

When they returned to the tavern, he told Ling Chaofeng and Xiaowan about it. Xiaowan joked, "It can't be that you gave me that one thousand taels of silver, hubby, right?"

During the new year, he had kept the one thousand taels of silver in a box as a sacrifice to the ancestors. Later, after showing it to his mother, he had locked it in the treasury, which no one could get their hands on.

However, on the fourth night, he was about to take out the one thousand taels of silver to see if it was real. However, the box he took out from the vault was empty, and there was only a layer of paper left inside, but it was impossible to tell if it was real or not.

The county magistrate was infuriated. From his wife to his concubines, he interrogated his maidservants, even his sons and daughters. His two concubines who had been by his side all the new year were beaten to death, asking them if they had stolen the master's banknotes.

How could he have imagined that he would bring silver notes to the Siyun Pavilion that day to show to Yue Huaiyin. Yue Huaiyin had sprayed a medicine on the silver notes when he was sleeping at night.

This was her trump card when she was working for the National Duke in the capital. The paper that was sprayed with this medicine would disintegrate into a pile of powder after a few days.

At this moment, the Grand Master was trembling as he whispered into the Master's ear, "Master, look, this silver was given to us by the Ling Xiao Inn. Could it be that they used some kind of spell to change this silver back into something else?"
