The brother and sister reunited, mutual talk, the emperor soon arrived.

Siyan could no longer ignore her etiquette like before. She could only lower herself and sit beside Xiang Run, making small talk with her brother.

After Wei Tengfei carried the little princess away, he followed the emperor to the Qingming Pavilion. Xiang Run's Lifesaver Palace cooked some tea under the window, saying that they wanted to part ways from the emperor and drink some tea to reminisce the old.

However, there was nothing to talk about between the two of them, but before Wei Tengfei came, he knew what the emperor would tell him.

When he was facing his sister just now, Wei Tengfei couldn't control himself and wanted to tell her about Ling Chaofeng's death.

However, if his little sister found out, the Emperor would send someone to kill Ling Chaofeng, forcing Xiaowan to lose her husband, making it worse than death. The relationship between the Emperor and the Empress would definitely be damaged or even broken down.

Wei Tengfei was still a subject after all. He could not be too conceited, so he got up and knelt down towards the emperor and said, "I believe Your Majesty has already received the news that Your Majesty did not send anyone. During the battle, I had wrongly killed Your Majesty's subordinates, and ask for Your Majesty's punishment."

Xiang Run glanced at him faintly: "Are you going to look for Ling Chaofeng, or Mu Xiaowan?"

Wei Tengfei's expression turned serious, and replied: "All of them."

The Emperor rested his chin on his hand and asked, "What did you say when you saw the Empress just now?"

"This subject did not say a word. In a few days, this subject will be leaving the capital. Even if the Empress finds out about what happened afterwards, I hope that Your Majesty will forgive me." The empress was still young, and had very little experience in the world. If there's anything that's rash and impolite, I beg the emperor to forgive her on account of my father and this subject's loyalty to the Daqi. "

"There is no need for you to worry about the relationship between me and Yan'Er. You are right, you will leave the capital very soon. Whether you speak of it or not, you will not be able to see or touch the rest of the matters." If the empress really misunderstands something, we will try our best to explain and comfort her. Since things have already come to this, as the empress of Daqi, she should have her share of responsibility. "

The emperor lightly rapped his fingers on the table as a thought flashed through his mind. When he deeply fell in love with his wife and saw Yan'Er as the other half of his life, he began to understand what emotions were in this world.

If he guessed wrong, it didn't matter. It was indeed a good plan.

"Tengfei, the Queen's biggest worry is that you don't have a wife or children. She's afraid that you'll be left alone with no one to take care of you." The emperor said, "The empress and Mu Xiaowan are like sisters. Even though the days we have known each other are short, it seems like we are destined to have a lifelong friendship. Now that Ling Chaofeng has passed away, it is very pitiful for him to be a young widow. Why don't we help you two get married and marry Mu Xiaowan to you? If she were to become the wife of a general and be protected by you from now on, Ling Chaofeng would definitely be at ease as well. "

Wei Tengfei stared at the emperor in shock and suddenly stood up. "Your Majesty, by doing this, you will force Xiaowan to death. She will definitely oppose the decree with her death."

The Emperor raised his thick eyebrows slightly. He had guessed correctly.

Wei Tengfei realized that his thoughts had been seen through by the emperor and felt a little embarrassed. He clenched his fists and bowed his head without saying a word.

"I only mention it like that. Since you're unwilling, how can I force you? I originally wanted you to marry a widow because I wronged you."

He did not want to anger Wei Tengfei, nor had he ever thought of making things difficult for the Chuanyu army. But because of Ling Chaofeng and Mu Xiaowan, there was actually a disagreement between the monarchs and officials.

"Many thanks for the emperor's good intentions. This subject appreciates it. May Your Majesty and the Empress rest assured that this subject will take good care of himself." Wei Tengfei said stiffly. As a soldier, he was really not good with words.

The emperor was unwilling to fall out with him, so he said, "I understand that this matter will never be brought up again. Coincidentally, next month, the thousands of horses that we bought from the Western Regions will arrive in the capital. You can pick some to bring back to the Chuanyu. "

"Thank you, your majesty." Wei Tengfei thanked him expressionlessly, and had nothing else to say.

Halfway through March, the feeling of spring became even stronger, and the Baisha Town gradually returned to its former tranquility and flourishing.

After the matter with the Ling Xiao Inn had passed by for a while, they had realized that Ling Chaofeng's anger was not ignited for no reason. If they had not heard and bewitched Mu Xiaowan into thinking that she was a demon, there would not have been anything that happened afterwards.

But this matter, was as if everyone in Baisha County had been possessed. Thinking back, they really could not understand what had happened to them during that period of time.

Susu still went to the inn. Although there were no longer people eating and staying in, and the kitchen stove was cold, she would open it everyday.

Da Qing would drive the carriage very slowly, and when Susu was really unwell, the Auntie Chen would take her place.

Susu said that she must wait for the Xiaowan to return or come to fetch her.

When the mother and daughter sat down to eat, they saw two year old fat kids running in. When they first saw them, they were startled, but Little Pei recognized Susu and Grandma Chen. He immediately ran over and pampered: "Aunt Susu."

Susu and her mother looked at each other. This child looked somewhat familiar, as if she was the son of the Xiaowan.

But in the next moment, a carriage stopped in front of the door. Susu quickly ran out to see, only to see Uncle Biao jumping off the carriage.

They were finally back, causing Susu's eyes to fill with tears, but her heart suddenly twitched, the Xiaowan in her eyes, was covered with silk, who was she mourning for?

Wait, why are there only three people? Where is the shopkeeper …

Impossible, Susu did not believe it. How could it be possible for Ling Chaofeng to be a god?

When Susu heard the Xiaowan explaining everything to her, and even Little Pei's miracles, she felt as if she had been separated from them for several lifetimes. How could she be alright, the whole world had changed.

"Grandson …" Susu held his hand with tears in her eyes as she sobbed, "Shopkeeper, really … It's gone? "

Xiaowan nodded: "You can't revive after death, don't worry, I will be fine."

She looked around the inn and found that it was still familiar.

She got up and went upstairs. Xiaowan touched the smooth and shiny arms of the stairs and stepped onto the solid stairs. When she arrived at the second floor, she saw that all of the clouds had disappeared.

Pushing the door and entering the guest room, it was just as Wei Tengfei had said. The place had been robbed and the originally elegant and refined furnishings were all gone, she turned around and walked out, going to the third floor.

Their bedroom, like the second floor, had been plundered. Only the unmovable things remained, but that was enough.

The bed was still there, smashed and mended, at least it was still there.

Xiaowan sat on the bed board without bed sheets, everything that had once happened between him and her husband surfaced in her mind.

"Mother …" Little Pei ran up and stood in front of the door.

"Hungry?" The Xiaowan smiled benevolently and hugged his son in his arms. "Don't bite me, it's going to hurt mom. I'll spank your butt."

However, Little Pei said, "Mother, I've grown up. I don't need to drink milk, I will eat a good meal."

Xiaowan lightly tapped his chubby face, "It's Dragon Boat Festival, so when you are born a hundred days later, can Mother not feed you anymore? Mother hopes that Little Pei will grow up to be like Father. "

Little Pei smacked his lips. He's still young, of course he would be greedy for it.

Xiaowan hugged her son. The warm little fatty gave some comfort to her ice-cold heart.

She could not live on whether he was dead or alive. He could not live like a ghost or a ghost. Her husband seemed to have known in the underworld that he would worry about her and not be able to live in peace. She couldn't let Ling Chaofeng die because of her endless heart.

Xiaowan asked his son: "I'm full, Mother will bring you to town. We will go buy some things and set up the inn once more. From now on, you will be the little shopkeeper.

Little Pei was satisfied with his meal, he did not have time to reply, and was lightly patted on the butt by the Xiaowan: "Greedy Cat, why is your strength so strong?"

Downstairs, everyone consoled Susu who was crying sorrowfully. Not long after, they saw the mother and son duo come down.

Xiaowan asked Uncle Biao if she still had the energy to go to the town to gather the ingredients as she wanted to reopen the inn.

Before she left, she brought her son to the cellar. What was unexpected was that the villagers who came to steal the treasures were unable to enter, or had not noticed, but had missed out on this place.

The Xiaowan had the key to open the cellar's door, and sure enough, it was completely empty inside, but there were still a few boxes of gold and jewelry that Ling Chaofeng had promised his wife.

The Xiaowan led her son deeper inside. She remembered that there was a door there, and that was where Little Pei had originally went to find his father. Unfortunately, now that she had walked over again, the ground behind the door was completely sealed up.

It didn't matter since he no longer had to work for the imperial government and there was no need to transport the gold and silver away from here.

The family rode on the carriage and entered the town. From the moment Uncle Biao appeared, the passersby were all stunned, then the carriage stopped, and Xiaowan alighted with his son. The young young lady was dressed in white, who was she mourning for?

The Uncle Biao took her to the carpentry store's rice shop and cloth shop, then the Xiaowan went to Uncle Zhou's blacksmith shop. Uncle Zhou also shouted in the crowd that he could not burn the Xiaowan to death, and when he saw the child, his eyes filled with tears. When he saw her wearing a silk robe, he could only ask for the reason, and was shocked to see Ling Chaofeng's death.

The Xiaowan promised some silver, and asked Uncle Zhou to lock the shop up and build the wok again. After that, he said his goodbyes, and brought Little Pei to buy some snacks to eat. Then, he left the town with a cart full of food.

Those shops were originally on good terms with the Ling Xiao Inn, so naturally, they were willing to do this business. But there were many families in the town who had lost their loved ones in the great fire.

Someone took the lead and went to the yamen together, inviting the county magistrate to make the decision. The county magistrate had already been warned by the General Wei, so he didn't dare make things difficult for Mu Xiaowan.

Upon hearing that Ling Chaofeng had died accidentally, the county magistrate's eyes widened: "Dead?"

Master said: "It was said that Mu Xiaowan personally told the blacksmith shop's people, and many people heard it."

"Then, then it's over …" The county magistrate stuttered, "Go and tell those people that Ling Chaofeng is dead. If they dare to cross over with Ling Xiao Inn, then they will definitely cross over with me. Go and scare them, and don't allow anyone to cause trouble. One day, General Wei and his cavalry would rush over and flatten this place. They would not even have the time to cry. "

News of this spread far and wide, and even if Qingling Village were far away, they would quickly receive the news.

Someone rushed over and informed Madam Xu that the Xiaowan had returned and was widowed. Upon hearing that Ling Chaofeng had died, the Madam Xu did not believe it, how could such a big and powerful person die?

"Is he really dead?" She kept asking and then looked straight into Aunt Wang's eyes. With Ling Chaofeng dead, there was no one left to support Xiaowan anymore.

"Hurry, to the inn." The Madam Xu threw away the melon seeds in her hands and ran back to the house excitedly to take a bag of skin, but she did not put on any airs and urged the Aunt Wang, "Follow me to the inn, I will give you food and drinks to bring back. That slut has no one to support her now, her legs and stomach will tremble when she sees me."

How smart was Aunt Wang, she felt that it was inappropriate, but Madam Xu was too happy, she couldn't stop them. She used the excuse that she couldn't leave the house and wouldn't follow, but she lent her the donkey cart.

Inside the tavern, Xiaowan had just returned from collecting all the things she needed, including some furniture, curtains, etc. She was still waiting for the people in the shop to deliver the goods to her.

Uncle Biao and Aunt Zhang were busy cooking at the back of the kitchen, wanting to start a fire in the shop again. Susu was pregnant, Xiaowan couldn't bear to make it so hard for her, so she could only bring Little Pei to play.

When everyone was extremely busy, someone barged in from the entrance. The Madam Xu shouted, "Xiaowan, you're back!

Hearing the disgusting voice, the Xiaowan laughed coldly, crawled up from the ground, and held onto the railing: "What are you doing here?"

Madam Xu looked up, and just as she was about to speak, a cloth descended from the sky and hit her in the face.

"Get out!"

"You … you're a widow …" The Madam Xu said angrily, "What do you think if you still have a man supporting you? Get down, see if I break your legs or not, get down."

Hearing the shouts, Uncle Biao and Aunt Zhang came out. When they saw Madam Xu, they were filled with anger, but just as she was about to pull up her sleeves and attack, Xiaowan came down to block him.

"Are you going or not?" Xiaowan forced her.

"I, I …" Seeing her approach, Madam Xu raised her hand to slap her.

However, Xiaowan caught her hand and pushed her back. She was currently filled with hatred and grudges, yet she didn't know that she was blocking Buddha's evil aura that could kill gods and devils. Madam Xu wanted to crash into her right at this moment, but she didn't know that what was rising in her body was Buddha blocking the evil aura that could kill gods and buddhas.

Seeing Madam Xu on the ground, stepping on her leg, causing Madam Xu to scream like a pig being butchered, she said angrily: "If you come again, I'll cut you into eight pieces and throw you into the mountains to feed the wild wolves."
