Chapter 13: He was the first

"I'll give you the ring." Xiao Wan said with a serious face, "One thousand taels is not mine." ”

Ling Chaofeng glanced at her, only to see her trying to take off the ring, but the ring seemed to be on her hand, and she still couldn't pull it off.

"This ring ......" Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the door closing, Ling Chaofeng had already left, he didn't say anything, Xiaowan muttered softly, "One thousand taels, I can't pay it off in the next life, what does this person think?" ”

She subconsciously walked to the door and opened a crack slightly, wanting to see the scene outside, but when Ling Chaofeng went downstairs, the second lady was waiting at the staircase with a smile.

Xiao Wan saw that she stuffed something that looked like a money bag for Ling Chaofeng, and then seemed to be afraid of being seen by Master Sun or others, so she hurriedly ran away.

This afternoon, they were talking sneakily at the top of the stairs, could it be that the second lady gave Ling Chaofeng money to buy him to harm Mrs. Sun together?

Thinking like this, Xiaowan was scared and angry, and closed the door with a bang, Ling Chaofeng heard it and glanced upstairs lightly. And Xiaowan regretted falling on the door a little, she really couldn't figure out Ling Chaofeng, would this anger him, what would happen if she angered him?

Suddenly, my stomach growled, and I was hungry. When I turned around, I saw a bowl of wontons on the table, each of which was wrapped in a bulging filling, which was very tempting.

Afraid that the wontons would be soaked for a long time, she couldn't care so much, so she sat down to eat first, a mouthful of mushroom and pork filling, a mouthful of prawn filling, a mouthful of shepherd's cabbage filling, a full ten silver ingot-like big wontons to eat, Xiaowan held up so that her belly bulged out.

She touched her stomach and sighed softly, if this is really a human meat bun seller, I don't know what she just ate, but it is so delicious that she will ...... before she knows it Since yesterday, she felt that she had eaten more than in the past seventeen years, naturally she was not so exaggerated, but she could not eat enough every day in the past, and even if she ate it, it was difficult to swallow it when she put it in her mouth, but here, even drinking saliva is sweet.

There will be no hunger and cold here, ...... here Xiaowan's heart trembled slightly, she remembered what Ling Chaofeng said, Ling Chaofeng said that before the marriage contract was dissolved, she would be his wife, and no one would beat her again.

Xiaowan lifted her sleeves, the bruises on her wrists were still so eye-catching, and further up, there were old scars that had been whipped by wattles, and her back, buttocks, and thighs were full of them.

Since she was a child, her stepmother beat her with whatever she gets, the most ruthless one because her father took the family's silver to lend her good brother before the New Year, and her mother was so angry that she went crazy, and she didn't dare to make trouble with her father, so she beat her to death when her father went to do New Year's goods, and hit her head on the water tank when she struggled, and when she woke up, it was the second day of the Lunar New Year.

She walked to the mirror, brushed aside the thick green silk, and on her fair scalp, there were hideous scars, and she was covered with wounds, everywhere, and in her heart.

Xiao Wan once again looked carefully at this house, this was her wedding room, even if she was reluctant not to admit it, she was already married. She didn't know what kind of person Ling Chaofeng was, but he was the first person in the world to say this to her.

She no longer has to be afraid of being beaten, and she will never go hungry again, but she must be Ling Chaofeng's wife and must stay at Ling Xiao Inn.

"Mother, what should I do......" Xiaowan choked, but at this time, there was a cry downstairs, and she heard someone crying, "Madam, Madame......"

Mrs. Sun? Xiaowan tensed, ran to the door, stood upstairs and looked down, the cries of the maidservants were clearer, their hostess, dead.

Xiao Wandong fell and sat on the ground, a good person, a good person died like this?

Ling Chaofeng walked up from downstairs, and immediately felt that Xiao Wan was here, and the gaze he handed over, Xiao Wan somehow understood, he let himself go back to the room to stay.

There was no place for her to intervene, and she and Mrs. Sun were not very familiar, regretting life was inevitable, and she couldn't do it that little night when she was heartbroken. She was scared, when she gradually felt that this was not a black shop for murder and overkill, but she watched a person die in front of her.

All night, there were people coming in and out of the downstairs constantly, it seemed that even the magistrate was alarmed, when the morning light was slightly dewed, Ling Chaofeng pushed the door in, and overturned the person who was leaning on the door and sleeping on his knees.

Xiao Wan got up in a daze and looked up at him blankly.

Ling Chaofeng was furious: "You sat on the ground all night? ”

Xiaowan was a little sober, her lips squirmed slightly, and she didn't speak, while the man had already stretched out his hand and dragged himself up from the ground.

Ling Chaofeng said coldly: "Wash up, Master Sun is leaving, and he has to go to the dock to see off the guests." ”

Xiaowan asked, "What about Madame?" ”

Ling Chaofeng said: "Let the subordinates help the coffin to return to the hometown, Lord Sun has other official business, so he has to go to run an errand first, as for how they arrange the next things, leaving the inn, it has nothing to do with me." ”

Sure enough, this person is so ruthless, Xiaowan smiled bitterly, turned around, and suddenly felt strange: "I'm going to see off guests too?" ”

Later, Xiaowan sat in a carriage and followed Lord Sun and his party to the Baisha River Wharf, the official boat was big and gorgeous, and the guards were waiting for Lord Sun on the shore. Xiao Wan saw the second lady quietly throwing flattering eyes at Ling Chaofeng, she was wearing a bright red skirt, full of gold hairpins and jade, such a festive appearance, as if nothing had happened, as if a night had passed, they had forgotten Mrs. Sun completely.

The second lady was full of spirits, as if she had met a great good thing, and followed Master Sun to see Ling Chaofeng, and enthusiastically pulled Xiaowan and said: "It turns out that you are the lady of the shopkeeper Ling, really, I still treat you as a little maid." This jade bracelet should be used as a meeting gift, little lady, we will have a period later. ”

As she spoke, she slid her bracelet into Xiaowan's wrist, and then said to her husband, "Master, the hour is almost up, don't you dare to delay your business." ”

Master Sun took her to board the boat, Xiaowan thought of the second lady insulting Mrs. Sun yesterday as a chicken that would not lay eggs, thinking of her appearance when she seduced Ling Chaofeng in a flattering and enchanting manner, she was inexplicably angry, glared at the man next to her fiercely, and unconsciously clenched her fists, watching the second lady walk on the pedal, thinking to herself, she fell into the water, how good it would be to scare and scare her.

Xiao Wan thought about it and took off the bracelet, when someone suddenly screamed in shock, and when she raised her eyes, the second lady really stepped on the pedal and plunged into the Baisha River.

The guards were in a panic and jumped into the water to save people, and when the second lady was dragged up, she was so frightened that she was disfigured and embarrassed, and was carried into the cabin with all hands and feet.

Xiao Wan was stunned, Ling Chaofeng was unmoved, and indifferently watched the official ship leave, and the dock was immediately clean.

"Let's go." Ling Chaofeng said, "Go back to the inn." ”

Xiao Wan ran to the river violently, Ling Chaofeng frowned, but when she threw the jade bracelet into the Baisha River, she clapped her hands angrily, and then ran back, still very angry, and said, "Let's go." ”
