The brother and sister reunited, complained to each other, and the emperor arrived not long after.

Like Yan can no longer ignore the etiquette of dignity and humility like Fang Cai, he can only sit beside Xiang Run in a dignified manner, and say some painless words to his brother.

After Wei Tengfei hugged the little princess, he went to Qingming Pavilion with the emperor, and Xiang Runming Palace people cooked tea under the window, saying that they wanted to put aside the difference between monarchs and ministers and drink tea to reminisce.

However, there was nothing to catch up with each other, but before Wei Tengfei came, he knew what the emperor would explain to him.

Facing his sister just now, Wei Tengfei couldn't hold it back several times, and wanted to tell her about Ling Chaofeng's death.

But if it is detected by his sister, it is the emperor who sent someone to hunt down Ling Chaofeng, forcing Xiaowan to lose her husband as well as death, and the relationship between the emperor and queen will inevitably be damaged or even broken.

The monarch and the minister were silent for a long time, a pot of tea was drunk, Wei Tengfei was a minister after all, he couldn't be too conceited, so he got up and left his seat, knelt down to the emperor and said: "Presumably the emperor has received the news, at that time, the minister did not know that it was the person sent by the emperor, and during the fight, he mistakenly killed the emperor's subordinates, and asked the emperor to surrender." ”

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

Wei Tengfei's expression was solemn, and he responded: "Both." ”

The emperor looked at him with his cheeks and asked, "I just saw the empress, what did you say?" ”

"The minister didn't say a word, the minister will leave the capital in a few days, and after that, even if the mother knows something, please forgive the emperor. The queen is still young and shallow in the world, if there is any reckless rudeness, please ask the emperor to forgive the mother for the sake of the loyalty of the father and the ministers to Daqi. ”

"You don't have to worry about me and Yan'er, you're right, you will leave Beijing soon, whether you say it or not, you can't see or touch what happens after that. And if the queen really misunderstands something, I will try my best to explain and appease her, the matter has come to this point, she is the queen of Daqi, and she should also have her responsibility. ”

The emperor's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and a thought flashed in his heart, when he fell deeply in love with his wife and regarded Yan'er as the other half of his life, he began to understand what the world was like.

If he guessed wrong, it didn't matter, it was a good arrangement.

"Tengfei, one of the things that the queen is most worried about is that you have no wife and children, and she is afraid that you will have no one to take care of you." The emperor said, "The queen and Mu Xiaowan are sisters, although the days of acquaintance are very short, but they seem to be destined for a lifetime. Now that Ling Chaofeng has passed away, Mu Xiaowan is young and widowed, and she is very pitiful, so it is better for me to marry you and marry Mu Xiaowan to you. She became the general's wife, and she will be guarded by you in the future, and Ling Chaofeng can feel at ease if she wants to. ”

Wei Tengfei glared at the emperor in astonishment, Huo Ran got up and said: "Your Majesty, if you do this, you will force Xiaowan to death, she will definitely resist the decree to the death, she ......"

The emperor's thick eyebrows raised slightly, and he guessed correctly.

Wei Tengfei realized that his mind was seen through by the emperor, so he was naturally a little embarrassed, so he clenched his fists and hung his head silently.

"I just mentioned this, since you don't want to, how can I force you, I originally wanted you to marry a widow, but I also wronged you."

Xiang Run seemed to be an understatement, but he was a little uneasy in his heart, he didn't want to provoke Wei Tengfei, and he never thought of embarrassing the Sichuan-Chongqing army, but because of Ling Chaofeng and Mu Xiaowan, there was a dislike between their monarchs and ministers.

"Thank you for the emperor's kindness, the minister has received it, and please rest assured that the emperor and the mother will take care of themselves." Wei Tengfei said stiffly, he is a person who leads troops, and he is really not good at words, but he is afraid of saying too much and making more mistakes.

The emperor didn't want to turn his face with him, so he said, "I understand, I won't mention this matter again." This time I'm here, stay a little longer, just next month, the thousand good horses I bought from the Western Regions will arrive in the capital, you can pick some and bring them back to Sichuan and Chongqing. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wei Tengfei thanked him expressionlessly, and said nothing more.

Halfway through March, spring is stronger, and the town of Baisha is gradually returning to its former tranquility and prosperity.

Although the people here are a little stupid, they are still diligent and down-to-earth, and after a while of the incident at the Ling Xiao Inn, they also realized that Ling Chaofeng's anger was not burning for no reason, if they hadn't listened to the bewitchment first and regarded Mu Xiaowan as a demon, there would have been no later incidents.

But this incident, as if the people of the entire Baisha County had fallen into evil, looking back, I really can't understand what happened to them at that time.

Su Su still came to the inn, although there would be no one to eat and stay here, and the stove in the back kitchen was cold, but she came to open it every day.

Daqing will drive the car very slowly, very slowly, and if Su Su is not feeling well one day, Aunt Chen will come instead of her.

Su Su said that she must wait for Xiaowan to come back, or come to pick her up.

At noon on this day, Aunt Chen came to bring lunch to Su Su, and when the mother and son were sitting and eating, they saw a fat doll of two or three years old running in. ”

Su Su and her mother looked at each other, this child looked a little familiar, very much like Xiaowan's son, but it was only more than a month, how could it be......

But the next moment, there was a movement of the carriage stopping in front of the door, Su Su hurriedly ran out to see, only to see Uncle Biao jump out of the car, and then helped Aunt Zhang and Xiaowan down in turn.

They finally came back, Su Su suddenly burst into tears, but her heart twitched suddenly, Xiao Wan in her eyes was full of vegetarian, who was she mourning for?

Wait, how come there are only three people, where is the shopkeeper......

Impossible, Su Su didn't believe it, how could Ling Chaofeng be a god-like figure.

However, this is the case, when Su Su listened to Xiaowan explain everything to her, even after the magic of Pei'er, she felt as if she had been separated from them for several lifetimes, how to be so good, the whole world had changed.

"Late ......" Su Su held his hand with tears and couldn't cry, "The shopkeeper, really...... Gone? ”

Xiaowan nodded: "People can't be resurrected after death, don't worry, I'll be fine." ”

She raised her eyes to see the inn, and sure enough, it was still familiar here.

Getting up and going upstairs, Xiaowan touched the smooth and shiny handrails of the stairs, stepped on the sturdy steps, and walked to the second floor, where the sign of Yunpeng Yunlai was gone.

Pushing the door into the guest room, sure enough, as Wei Tengfei said, this place has been robbed, and the original elegant and exquisite furnishings are gone, she turned around and went out and came to the third floor.

Their bedroom, like the second floor, had been ransacked, and only the things that could not be moved were still there, but it was enough.

The bed is still there, though it has been smashed and repaired, at least it's still there.

Xiaowan sat on the bed board without a mattress, and everything that Xianggong had used to be bits and pieces appeared in front of him.

"Mother......" Pei'er ran up and stood in front of the door.

"Hungry?" Xiaowan smiled lovingly and held her son in her arms, "Don't bite, it hurts my mother and spanks you." ”

Pei'er said: "Mother, I'm growing up, I don't want to eat milk, I will eat well." ”

Xiaowan gently tapped his fleshy little face: "By the Dragon Boat Festival, when you are born for 100 days, your mother will no longer feed you, okay?" If you eat one more day, your body will be stronger, and my mother hopes that Pei'er will grow tall and big, like her father. ”

Pei'er smacked his lips, he was still very young, of course he was greedy, since his mother was kind, the little guy was not welcome.

Xiaowan hugged her son, the warm little fat man, which comforted her cold heart.

She can't live or die, she can't live so that no one is a ghost or a ghost, if the princess knows what to do, he will worry about her, and he will not be able to live in peace. She couldn't let Ling Chaofeng die, it was all for her inexhaustible heart.

Xiaowan asked her son: "When you are full, my mother will take you to the town, we will go shopping and rearrange the inn, you will be the little shopkeeper in the future, and you will help your mother do business, okay?" ”

Pei'er ate so much that she couldn't spare time to answer, and was gently patted on the butt by Xiaowan: "Little gluttonous cat, why is your strength so great?" ”

Downstairs, everyone comforted Su Su, who was crying sadly, and soon saw the mother and son come down.

Xiaowan asked Uncle Biao if she still had the energy to go to the town to procure, and she wanted to reopen the inn.

Before going out, she took her son to the cellar, and unexpectedly, the villagers who came to rob it, I don't know if they couldn't enter, or didn't find it, but they missed this place.

Xiaowan had the key and opened the door of the cellar, and sure enough, it was almost empty, but there were still a few boxes, which were the gold and jewelry that Ling Chaofeng had said he would give to his wife, and they were here as they were.

Xiaowan took her son to the depths, she remembered that there was a door there, and Pei'er had gone from here to find his father back, but unfortunately now that she came again, there was a tight dirt behind the door, and all the roads were blocked again.

It doesn't matter, anyway, I will never do anything for the court again, and I don't need to secretly transport gold and silver from here.

The family came to the town by carriage, from the moment Uncle Biao appeared, passers-by were stunned, and then the carriage stopped, Xiaowan got off with her son in her arms, and the young lady was dressed in white, who is this mourning for?

Uncle Biao took her to the carpenter's shop, grocery store, rice shop and cloth village, Xiaowan came to Uncle Zhou's blacksmith shop again, Uncle Zhou also shouted in the crowd that night that he couldn't burn Xiaowan, saw the child, tears welled up in his eyes, and saw that she was wearing a vegetarian dress, so he had to ask the reason, and was surprised to hear that Ling Chaofeng died unexpectedly.

Xiaowan promised some silver, asked Uncle Zhou to re-lock and build a pot in the shop, and then said goodbye to him, took Pei'er to buy some snacks to eat, and left the town with a cart full of things.

As soon as she left, the whole Baisha Town was boiling, those shops were originally friends with the Lingxiao Inn, and they were naturally willing to do this business, but many people in the town lost their relatives in that fire, and their resentment was hooked, and they gathered together, thinking about whether to collect debts.

Someone took the lead and came to the yamen together, asking the county lord to be the master, the county lord had already been warned by General Wei, where did he dare to embarrass Mu Xiaowan again.

Shocked to hear that Ling Chaofeng died unexpectedly, the county master's eyes widened: "Dead? ”

The master said: "It is said that Mu Xiaowan personally said it to the people in the blacksmith shop, and many people saw and heard it. ”

"Then, isn't that the end of it......," the county lord stammered, "You go and tell those people that Ling Chaofeng is dead, killing people pays for their lives, and this is the end of the matter." If they dare to get along with Lingxiao Inn, they can't get along with me, you go and scare them, and no one is allowed to make trouble. One day, General Wei rushed over with an iron horse and leveled here, and they didn't even have time to cry. ”

This matter spread ten times and spread hundreds, even if Qingling Village was far away, it would soon get the news.

Someone rushed over and told the Xu family the news that Xiaowan had come back and had been widowed, I heard that Ling Chaofeng was dead, Xu didn't believe it, how could such a big man and such a powerful person die.

"Really dead?" She asked again and again, and then looked at Aunt Wang, Ling Chaofeng was dead, no one supported Xiaowan, and the little lady turned back to before, and she could let her knead and rub her round.

"Hurry up, go to the inn." Xu Shi dropped the melon seeds in his hand, ran back to the house excitedly, took a piece of furoshi, but didn't pretend to be anything, and pouted Aunt Wang, "Follow me to the inn, I'll bring back what you eat and drink, that little slut has no one to support him now, and he won't tremble when he sees me." ”

Aunt Wang is so shrewd that she feels inappropriate in her heart, but Xu Shile is crazy and can't stop it. She refused to follow her under the pretext that she couldn't leave the house, but lent her the family's donkey cart.

In the inn, Xiaowan returned from shopping, put things away one by one, some furniture curtains, etc., and waited for the people in the shop to deliver them, she put on an apron and tied a headscarf, and was rolling up her sleeves to wipe the floor on the second floor.

Uncle Biao and Aunt Zhang are busy in the back kitchen, and they want to rekindle the fire in the store.

When everyone was busy, someone broke in at the door of the store, and Xu shouted: "Xiaowan, you're back, Wan'er, it's your mother." ”

Hearing this disgusting voice, Xiao Wan smiled coldly, got up from the ground, held on to the railing and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Xu Shi raised her eyes, and was about to speak, when a rag fell from the sky and hit her face.

"Get out!"

"You, you little widow ......" Xu said angrily, "What do you think you still have a man to support you, you come down for me, see that I don't break your legs, come down for me." ”

Hearing the shouting, Uncle Biao and Aunt Zhang came out, and when they saw Xu, they were full of anger, Uncle Biao rolled up his sleeves and was about to make a move, but Xiaowan came downstairs to stop him.

"Are you leaving?" Xiao Wan forced her.

"I, I'm ......" Xu Shi saw her approaching, and raised his hand to slap her.

Xiaowan grabbed her hand and pushed her back, she is now full of hatred and hatred, Xu is about to bump into her at this time, but she doesn't know that what is steaming in her body is the anger of the Buddha blocking and killing the Buddha and killing the god.

Seeing Xu Shi fall to the ground, Xiao Wan stepped on her leg, and the pain made Xu scream like a pig, she said angrily: "If you come again, I will dismantle you and throw you into the mountains to feed the wild wolves." ”
