Little Pei possessed the wisdom of a god, but he was still a child in the mortal world of immortals.
When he sealed the wisdom of his Dragon Clan Immortal Body, he was just an ordinary little child. He would not listen and do foolish things, and normally when he acted coquettishly, it was only because he was a child, and not because he wanted to act like one.
At the moment, being slapped by his father, he was truly wronged, the tears were in his eyes, he pursed his lips and frowned, his small fists clenched tightly, and in Ling Chaofeng's eyes, he was unreasonably stubborn.
He had personally seen his son push Xiaowan, seen him pat his mother's stomach, and witnessed such a thing happening again and again. How could he not be angry? However, he still calmed down first and asked Xiaowan if he had anything to do.
Only now did Xiaowan remember that she was pregnant with a child.
Fortunately, it was just that her arms and legs hurt a little from the fall, and the clothes she wore in winter were not too bad. As for the fetus in her womb, she did not feel any abnormality, and had even forgotten that she was pregnant.
The Aunt Zhang and Susu came to ask what was going on. Although they heard a lot of noise and did not see what was happening, they were still quite frightened when they heard that the Xiaowan was rolling down the stairs. They immediately supported the Xiaowan and went back to her room to lie down.
The Xiaowan was pushed back into the room by the crowd, but Little Pei was still staring at the house vigilantly. After Ling Chaofeng settled the Xiaowan down, he walked in front of his son and glared at him: "Go back to your room!
"I'm not going." Once Little Pei left, the Living Soul would come close to their mother again. If they didn't kill their mother, the Living Soul of Madam Xu would never let this matter go. Even if his uncle said his mother's lifespan was very long, wasn't it just that she had already died once? Who could guarantee that nothing would happen to her this time?
"You're getting more and more lawless." Ling Chaofeng became furious, "Do you really think I won't hit you again with the protection of your mother?"
Aunt Zhang came over and advised: "Why are you angry at this child, what's wrong?"
Ling Chaofeng said heavily: "He previously patted Xiaowan's stomach, and just now, he pushed Xiaowan down the stairs again. Aunt, how do you think I should teach him?"
"How is this possible …" Aunt Zhang couldn't believe that Little Pei was such a malicious child, but wasn't there a need for Ling Chaofeng to wish for his own son?
"I didn't." Little Pei cried, his chubby little hands rubbed his tears aggrievedly, and said while twitching, "I didn't …"
As soon as the child cried, Xiaowan's heart ached. She sat on the bed and shouted, "Little Pei, come over to mother's side."
Little Pei turned and ran towards the Xiaowan, but Ling Chaofeng held her son back and said coldly: "You cannot protect him, he will not be punished for what he has done, and will cause even more trouble in the future."
If he were to become a mother, he would eventually have unexpected power. The young lady, whom everyone thought was gentle and sweet, actually shouted for his husband, and said angrily: "Ling Chaofeng, put down the child, he's your son, if you don't hold him tightly, if you let him go by himself, do you think he's a beast?"
Ling Chaofeng froze for a moment, then involuntarily let go of his hand. In the blink of an eye, Little Pei quickly ran towards his mother.
The little guy wailed in Xiaowan's embrace, it was extremely sad, and the Xiaowan also ignored Ling Chaofeng. She hugged Little Pei, rubbed his face which had been slapped, and patted his buttocks to calm him down. In the side room, Ling Chaofeng was persuaded by the Aunt Zhang to leave.
Aunt Zhang said to Ling Chaofeng: "For this matter, you should first discuss it with Xiaowan. For the past few days, when you weren't at home, the two of us will be fine. Although Little Pei pestered the Xiaowan, he didn't do anything to harm her. Xiaowan might have accidentally fallen down, don't be angry at children, how old is he, what do you know? "
However, Ling Chaofeng had seen the evil Qi that lingered on Little Pei's body countless of times. Such a young child, why did he have such a deep grudge against Little Pei?
The Aunt Zhang muttered to herself, "Could it be that he was possessed? That's right, when we went to the town to teach him, many people liked him and surrounded him, could they have seen something? Since that day, he has been pestering the Xiaowan every day. "
Ling Chaofeng also remembered that in the days before La Ba, Little Pei had always been very obedient.
Susu said fearfully: "If I am truly struck by evil, should I request the Daoist Priest to dispel the evil?"
Ling Chaofeng said coldly: "Those Daoist nuns are all lies, how can you believe them?"
The Aunt Zhang said in a displeased tone: "There are stalls on the streets, of course you can't believe it. You have a benevolent relationship with friends in the four seas, so if Little Pei is truly abnormal, then why not invite a Taoist to come and exorcise the evil? "
Ling Chaofeng frowned, seeing that Little Pei's crying stopped, he calmed down and nodded: "Let me discuss it with Xiaowan."
In the bedroom, mother and son lay together. Little Pei caressed his mother's arm and asked in heartache, "Mother, does it hurt?"
Xiaowan smiled gently: "Mother doesn't hurt, Mother is so strong."
Little Pei took a deep breath, walked over and kissed his mother's arm.
Xiaowan held his face and kissed the place where her son was getting beaten up. It was boiling hot there, and the force of her slap didn't seem to have dispersed.
"I'm not in pain either!" As Little Pei spoke, his tears fell and the Xiaowan imitated his crying look, teasing him while laughing, and said to him: "Ignore your father.
But the Xiaowan could not forget the fact that she was being choked, and the first time was in a dream.
Back then, if Little Pei had not come over, she would have been strangled to death. But now that he thought about it, what he was afraid of was not death, but true death. Did Ling Chaofeng think that Little Pei had killed her?
"Mom will scold your dad and see if he still dares to make a move on you." Xiaowan hugged the warm little fatty and kissed him a few more times, coaxing him, "Little Pei is not afraid. With mother here, Mother will protect you."
Little Pei sobbed, "I also want to protect Mother."
Xiaowan snickered: "When you grow up, you will be as tall as Daddy, and then you will be able to beat him."
Xiaowan doted on Little Pei, he was very moved and grateful, but doting on him was not her way, but if this matter was really her own fault, then ….
He lowered his head and looked at his hand. His fingers felt slightly numb. That slap just now was truly too heavy. He regretted it very much.
Outside the Ling Xiao Inn, Madam Xu's Living Soul lingered for a while, unable to approach Mu Xiaowan. Her resentment grew deeper and deeper, once again returning to Madam Xu's body.
"You old woman, recently you've really been too lazy to be bothered. To think that you would directly sleep in the pile of firewood to not wake you up. It seems like you won't behave." The guard said in a fierce tone: "You should go back to sleep. You should go back to sleep and freeze to death."
It turned out that today, when Madam Xu was working with the other convicts to chop firewood for the yamen, he remembered lying on the hot brick bed, watching Xiaowan's frail body chop firewood in the cold and windy courtyard.
Once, she woke up in the middle of the night because the fire on the brick bed had been extinguished. She rushed to the woodshed and beat Xiaowan up, forcing her to guard the stove all night.
The her of the past, was as impressive as it was beautiful. Thus, she thought, once again, the Living Soul left her body, and she naturally fainted as well.
In the end the guard treated her as lazy. He wanted to tie her up in the snow so that he could wake her up. But if he woke up now, he wouldn't be able to wake up and would freeze to death.
Madam Xu begged, but the prison wardens refused to forgive her. This place was hell on earth, no one would care about her.
She felt that her fingers and toes were being frozen to the point that their bones seemed to have become crunchy. She felt the cold wind scraping against her skin like knives, causing her heart to be entangled with fear and resentment.
In the Ling Xiao Inn, Little Pei, who was crying loudly, was tired. came in with a bird's nest. He placed it on the table and coldly said to Xiaowan: "Come eat, Aunt is asking you to make up for it."
walked over, wanting to see his sleeping son. Xiaowan was deliberately protecting Little Pei, not letting him see, and said: "What, you still want to pick up your son and beat him up?"
Ling Chaofeng was annoyed: "It's not like I hit him for no reason, but you're blaming me for it. I'm afraid he'll hurt you."
The Xiaowan said angrily: "Will Little Pei hurt me? Don't you need to think about it? "
husband Ling Chaofeng asked majestically, angrily asking: "Who are you talking to?"
Xiaowan sat up and looked at Hubby arrogantly, "Why don't you give me a slap as well?"
"Don't mess around." Ling Chaofeng said, "Perhaps I'm the one who is seeing things today, but he slapped your stomach that day.
"But …" Xiaowan wanted to say something but she hesitated. It was also the first time that she felt like she was going to be strangled to death on that day. She calmed herself down and looked at Little Pei who was still sleeping soundly. She pulled her husband and walked a few steps away as she said softly, "Husband, I have something to tell you. Don't be excited yet."
