The moment she lowered his head, Ling Chaofeng coincidentally raised his head and saw her. The couple looked at each other, and Xiaowan returned to her room.

Not long after, her husband returned and sat on the bed. "You were just pretending to be asleep?"

Xiaowan laughed weakly: "I wanted to tease you."

Ling Chaofeng lightly pinched her face, his eyes filled with love: "Then let's talk for a while."

He leaned on the headboard, making Xiaowan lean on his chest. His lovely wife was much heavier than before pregnancy, and his slender fingers had also become chubby.

"Do you feel bad wearing this ring?" Ling Chaofeng saw that the Jade Ring was slightly stuck inside his skin and said worriedly, "I probably won't be able to take it out now."

Xiaowan was a little guilty, she casually said that it was not unpleasant and changed the topic.

And Ling Chaofeng also had something to say to her, that on her way to buy the sour date cake, she had met Yue Huaiyin.

"She was waiting for you?"

"Maybe he will wait for me there after seeing me." Ling Chaofeng said in a bland voice, "The few words that she just said seemed to have changed. He looked really pitiful, but after I rejected her request, I immediately fell out with his."

Xiaowan was listening quietly to her grandpa speak, she was not too angry, she had seen through Yue Huaiyin.

She had chatted with Susu before, saying how Yue Huaiyin was willing to lie under the county magistrate's body. Susu had said that if it was her, she would definitely strangle the county magistrate first, and then kill herself.

Xiaowan said that for women who had no reason to be tainted, they should show their sincerity to their deaths, and they should live a better life. However, she could not understand why Yue Huaiyin would be willing to compromise from now on, if she took the initiative, it would be even more inconceivable.

The two of them from the countryside could only assume that the women from the courtesan courtyard in Beijing were not impolite or shameless. They only had benefits and benefits. They were completely different people in the first place.

At this moment, when she heard that Yue Huaiyin was still trying to get close to Ling Chaofeng, the Xiaowan was no longer angry, but she remembered what the Aunt Zhang had said.

Ling Chaofeng laughed faintly: "Putting aside the grudge between you and her, why would Susu be guilty? Could it be that Susu was not finally tainted and decided to treat it as though that had never happened? "Late at night, there's no need to be kind, nor do you need to be kind. Any excuse or reasoning is meaningless in the face of evil."

Xiaowan nodded, "I'll listen to Hubby. However … This time, the villagers have also been incited to find trouble with us, so how should we settle this? The Ling Xiao Inn has been here for more than ten years, has there been such a thing in the past? "

Ling Chaofeng sighed lightly: "Strange things, it really only happened in the last two years. Forget about other things, even if we denied it completely, there were still many villagers who saw it. Compared to our explanation, they definitely believe their eyes more."

"Then we can only allow them to bully us?" The Xiaowan was indignant, "If they knew that you, your husband, sent those charity food over, would make them feel ashamed and guilty?"

Ling Chaofeng did not care, but he helped the Xiaowan sit down, and faced her face to face, and said earnestly: "But here, it seems like we can't stay any longer. For one thing, the people who are unconscious or in charge are stupid, and Yue Huaiyin is causing trouble, not because I'm afraid of them, but because I don't want to hurt people, and I don't know how to kill. Furthermore, your premise is that if Ershan were to become an official in the future, although his own background would cause people to ignore our existence, it is hard to guarantee that no one would come to investigate. This is a secret that must not be leaked out. My parents were a court for the rest of their lives, because we had kings worth following, and so did I. So, I want to wait until you give birth, and when you're well, we'll move on and get somewhere else. The Ling Xiao Inn is still the Ling Xiao Inn, but this Baisha Town, we will part ways with it forever. "

Xiaowan hurriedly said: "How about we leave now, we'll leave immediately … …"

Ling Chaofeng shook his head: "It's not convenient for you to move around. If there were any mishaps on the road, I would lose my Ling Xiao Inn, I would not need to work for the imperial government, I cannot lose you."

Xiaowan's heart warmed, and she leaned into his embrace, "Are you silly? I'll be with you forever, hubby won't lose me. "I will listen to you. When I have children, we will move away. Actually, you don't need to discuss it with me. I will definitely listen to you."

Ling Chaofeng laughed: "We are husband and wife, if there is anything, I would like to discuss with you, to have your permission."

Xiaowan laughed tenderly: "You are clearly so overbearing and fierce towards me, and yet you are about to break my legs. You must be pretending to be a good person."

Ling Chaofeng said: "Late at night, the thing I've let down the most in my life is that I wasn't able to personally ask if you were willing to marry me."

Xiaowan raised his head, her eyebrows curved in delight: "I will ask you one more time in my next life."

They snuggled up to each other and spent the night in peace. The next morning, there were indeed more villagers who came to demonstrate their strength, and the number of people was even more than the previous few days.

Uncle Biao rushed out with a Pig Slaughtering Knife, only to see a few officials riding horses coming from behind. The leader of the guards jumped down from his horse, and berated the villagers: "What are you doing here?"

The villagers talked at the same time, saying that the Ling Xiao Inn was the place where the demons and monsters lived. The feng shui that affected the Baisha County here wanted to drive them away and raze the inn to the ground.

The Constable Li scolded loudly: "You all listen to the wind is the rain. The Ling Xiao Inn s have always been obedient for more than ten years, never owing a single coin in taxes. "The lord has sent me here today to properly reason with you guys. If you still don't listen and want to gather more people to cause trouble, then come with me to the yamen. Pick whatever you like!"

In the tavern, Ling Chaofeng supported Xiaowan out. Xiaowan did not have the time to make a wish to teach this group of foolish villagers a lesson, but he did not expect Constable Li to come over and make the decision.

Not long after, a few shops that were on good terms with the tavern, the mighty escort company's branch in the Li Prefecture, and even the villagers who were on good terms with Susu's family in the Baisha Village, many people came over.

They tried their best to guarantee that the Ling Xiao Inn was definitely not a place of gods and ghosts, to guarantee that Ling Chaofeng's character would not harm anyone if the inn was here.

Xiaowan was surprised, even Ling Chaofeng did not expect that he would be the one to go and resolve the troubles and conflicts for the others, although he would still ask his friends in the underworld to do something for him, but before he could even open his mouth, he had come to help him, and he never thought that such a day would come.

The excited citizens all reluctantly compromised and left under Constable Li's furious glare. Aunt Zhang invited everyone to come in and drink and eat, she said that she still had to report back to Prefect Liang. After passing on the message from the Prefect Liang, Ling Chaofeng didn't need to be polite. If there was anything else, he could just go to the Li Prefecture to discuss.

As such, they only left behind a few of their friends who were like the martial artists. They sat in the shop and drank together with the Uncle Biao, talking about the matters of the martial arts world.

Xiaowan stood on the third floor and watched with a smile, feeling extremely happy in her heart. She understood that even though Jade Ring had a sacred art, in life, they could only rely on the protection of some unknown divine art, and it was ultimately unreliable.

Today, so many people had come to help solve this problem. Hubby was able to benefit from many benefits, and was able to repay the kindness with kindness. Good and bad, good and evil between people, were not things that a single ring could control. Even the Immortal Bodhisattva couldn't estimate everyone in the world.

People had to rely on themselves to survive and do good deeds.

Everything that had happened here had been spread back to the town. Before Constable Li returned to the Li Prefecture, he stopped by the county yamen and passed on the words of the Prefect Liang, telling the county magistrate to take care of himself.

In all of the counties within the entire Li Prefecture realm, his Baisha County had almost dropped from the richest county to the last place. If he continued like this, his black gauze hat would not be able to hold on any longer.

Now that he had suffered losses for his husband and his soldiers, there was no need to talk about other things. Who could compensate him with a thousand taels of silver and the relief money he gave to the people just to put up a show.

Yue Huaiyin was the one who thought of this idea, so naturally, he came to find the woman to settle the score. Yue Huaiyin was almost beaten up again, but she was quick with her thoughts, and her words caused the county magistrate to be stunned.

Coincidentally, on the second day, Madam Xu and Aunt Wang went to the town to buy things. Master Mu had to go out to work, so she came to buy some tobacco for the man to bring with her.

When they came to visit Yue Huaiyin, they saw that her complexion looked terrible. They knew in their hearts that she must have been tortured by the county magistrate, so they comforted her.

However, Yue Huaiyin's eyes suddenly lit up, and asked the Madam Xu: "Last time, could you find the Goddess that you invited to cast a curse on?"

Madam Xu and Aunt Wang looked at each other in dismay, "I can find her, but Miss wants that Goddess …"

Yue Huaiyin knew, that if she cursed Mu Xiaowan, she would probably counterattack. She would not be so foolish, but she could curse the county magistrate, or even the National Duke Mistress in the capital.

Since the Madam Xu had taken effect last time, although the counterattack had landed on her body, it could still be seen that these deceptive tricks were still effective.

Aunt Wang and Madam Xu went to find the Goddess from the neighboring village. Because it was a business deal that they had recommended and they couldn't come and calculate with her even if they failed last time, it was set. No matter how much Yue Huaiyin gave them, they would still split it evenly.

The doctors went a few times, but were unable to find any major symptoms on him. However, he was sickly and listless, and would occasionally drag his body to the Siyun Pavilion, not in the mood to torture Yue Huaiyin again. He only spoke with her a few times, and then fell asleep.

Yue Huaiyin would mention a few weird words, causing the county magistrate to gnash his teeth in anger. He clenched his fist and said, "Ling Chaofeng, don't fall into my hands."

In the blink of an eye, the first month passed.

On the first day of the second month, Master Mu left to work. After passing through the Ling Xiao Inn, he brought some food for his daughter and brought some toys for his grandson who was about to be born.

The things that Xiaowan had prepared for his father was about the same as it was in the old years, it was just that there was twice as much silver, and since Master Mu had not opened it to take a look, she naturally did not know, but what Xiaowan thought about was, when her father returned from work, she had already moved away with Ling Chaofeng. In the future, they would be far from each other, so she could only rely on her husband's friends to help him out.

Naturally, this was all later on. Xiaowan didn't say a single word.

But when Master Mu went to the dock, for some reason, all the boats were stuck outside. It was not easy to get a boat, so they were not in the direction that Master Mu wanted to go. He and some people had to wait from morning until night, they had no choice but to return along the same route.

The shop was just about to close, and seeing Master Mu carrying his luggage, the Uncle Biao went up to greet him. Hearing about this matter, he invited the master of the family to stay the night in the shop.

The Master Mu felt bad staying over, since the Xiaowan said that her daughter's house was of no importance, so the father decided to stay at the north side of the second floor for a while, and the father and daughter talked for a bit before going to bed.

At night, Xiaowan slept soundly. Without knowing when, she was suddenly pushed awake by Ling Chaofeng. Ling Chaofeng carried her up and rushed out the door.

It was only then that the Xiaowan smelled a scorched smell. They had rushed out from the main entrance, and the inn was already surrounded by blazing flames. No one knew who it was, but someone had actually come to the inn in the middle of the night to set it on fire.

When Ling Chaofeng smelled the wood oil, he knew that the fire would soon spread. It was more important to save his life, after sensing the fire, he immediately brought Xiaowan out.

The Uncle Biao also came out. Seeing the fire flying upstairs quickly, they had no way to save it.

"Father, my father …" Xiaowan suddenly remembered that her father was still in the north room on the second floor. Her father was always sleeping soundly, so she might not even be able to notice the fire.

"Husband, my father is still on the second floor." Xiaowan was scared out of her wits and shouted loudly, "Father, Father... Wake up, there's a fire! "

This shout had actually stimulated the fetus in her stomach. Xiaowan only felt something flowing out from her body, followed by a sharp pain in her stomach, causing her to be unable to stand back up.

Just as Ling Chaofeng was about to rush in to save his father, he saw Xiaowan lying on the ground.

"Late …"
