The moment she lowered her head, Ling Chaofeng just looked up and saw her, the couple glanced at each other, and Xiaowan went back to the room.

After a while, the husband returned, sat on the edge of the bed and said, "You just pretended to be asleep? ”

Xiao Wan smiled softly: "I wanted to tease you." ”

Ling Chaofeng gently pinched her face, his eyes full of doting: "Then let's talk for a while." ”

He leaned on the head of the bed, let Xiaowan lean on his chest, his wife was much heavier than before pregnancy, and her slender fingers became chubby, although she did not become a big fat man, but she was round and very cute.

"Is it uncomfortable to wear this ring?" Ling Chaofeng saw that the jade ring was slightly sunk into the flesh, and said worriedly, "Now, I can't take it out." ”

Xiaowan was a little weak-hearted, and casually said that she was not uncomfortable, and then diverted the topic.

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

"She's waiting for you?"

"When Xu saw me passing, he waited there for me to go back." Ling Chaofeng said lightly, "The few words she just said seemed to have reformed herself, as if she was really a little pitiful, but after I rejected her request, she immediately turned her face. ”

Xiaowan listened to Xianggong quietly, but she wasn't too angry, probably seeing through the woman Yue Huaiyin.

She talked to Su Su, saying how could Yue Huaiyin be willing to lie under the county master, Su Su said that if it was her, she would strangle the county master first, and then hit her headlong to death.

Xiao Wan said that there is no reason for women who have been defiled to die, and they should live well, but she can't understand Yue Huaiyin's willingness to compromise from now on, and it would be even more incredible if she took the initiative.

The two of them from the countryside can only think that the women who come out of the brothel in the capital have no traditional sense of etiquette, righteousness and shame, only benefits and benefits, and they are completely different people.

At this moment, hearing that Yue Huaiyin was still trying to get close to Ling Chaofeng at this moment, Xiaowan was no longer angry and angry, but she remembered what Aunt Zhang said, she was as kind as her, and occasionally she would reflect on whether she was too deliberately avoiding suspicion and combing, which stimulated her.

Ling Chaofeng smiled faintly: "You put aside your grievances with her, why is Su Su innocent?" Could it be that because Su Su was not finally defiled, it could be assumed that it had not happened? Late, you don't have to be kind, you don't have to be kind, any excuse is meaningless in the face of evil deeds. ”

Xiaowan nodded: "I listen to Xianggong." But...... This time, the villagers were instigated to come to us for trouble, how to solve it, Lingxiao Inn has been here for more than ten years, has there ever been such a thing before? ”

Ling Chaofeng sighed lightly: "Strange things, it is true that they have only happened in the past two years, not to mention anything else, the day of the flood in the Baisha River, even if we strongly deny it, there are still many villagers who have seen it, and of course they believe in their eyes more than our explanation." ”

"Then we can only let them bully the door?" Xiaowan was indignant, "If they knew that the donated food was sent by you, would they be ashamed and guilty?" ”

Ling Chaofeng didn't care, but he helped Xiaowan to sit down, face to face with her, and said solemnly: "But here, it seems that we can't be kept." A faint official is stupid and the people are dull, and Yue Huaiyin is making waves, not afraid of them, I just don't want to hurt people, let alone kill people. Furthermore, as you mentioned before, if Ershan becomes an official in the future, although his own background will make people ignore our existence, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will be curious to explore, this is a secret of the imperial court and must not be revealed. My father and mother were court all their lives, because we had kings worth following, and so did I. So, I think when you give birth and your body is healed, we'll move out and settle down somewhere else. Lingxiao Inn is still Lingxiao Inn, but with this Baisha Town, goodbye. ”

Xiaowan hurriedly said: "It's better to leave now, leave immediately......"

Ling Chaofeng shook his head: "You are inconvenient to move, if there are three long and two short on the road, I can lose the Lingxiao Inn, I can no longer do things for the imperial court, I can't lose you." ”

Xiaowan's heart was hot, and she fell into his arms: "Silly, I will be with you for the rest of my life, Xianggong will not lose me." I listen to you, when I have a baby, we will move out, in fact, you don't have to discuss with me, I will definitely listen to you for everything. ”

Ling Chaofeng said with a smile: "We are husband and wife, if there is anything, of course I have to discuss with you and get your consent." ”

Xiao Wanjiao smiled: "Obviously domineering and fierce to me, he will break my legs at every turn, this will pretend to be a good person." ”

Ling Chaofeng said: "Wanwan, the most sorry thing for you in my life is that I couldn't ask you in person if you would like to marry me." ”

Xiaowan raised her head, but her eyebrows were crooked and she was happy: "Ask again in the next life." ”

They snuggled up to each other and spent the night peacefully, and the next morning, sure enough, another villager came to demonstrate, and the number was more than the previous days.

Uncle Biao rushed out with a pig-killing knife, but saw a few officials on horseback coming from behind, and Li Zhutou, led by Li Zhutou, jumped off the horse and scolded the villagers: "What are you doing here? ”

The villagers gossiped, saying that the Lingxiao Inn was a place where demons and monsters lived, and that it affected the feng shui of Baisha County, and that they wanted to drive them away and raze the inn to the ground.

Li Zhutou scolded loudly: "You listen to the wind is the rain, the Lingxiao Inn has been in the town for more than ten years, and has never defaulted on a penny of taxes and silver, and the prefect is the most understanding." If you still don't listen, and you want to gather people to make trouble, just take a trip to my yamen, and pick what you like! ”

In the inn, Ling Chaofeng helped Xiaowan out, Xiaowan didn't have time to make a wish to teach this group of stupid villagers a lesson, but he didn't expect Li Zhutou to come and call the shots.

Not long after that, several shops in the town that were good friends with the inn, as well as the rudder of the mighty dart bureau in Lizhou Mansion, and even the villagers in Baisha Village who were good friends with the Su family, many people came.

They tried their best to guarantee that Ling Xiao Inn was definitely not a place of gods and ghosts, that Ling Chaofeng was a person, and that the inn was here and would not hurt anyone.

This made Xiaowan very surprised, even Ling Chaofeng didn't expect that all along, it was he who came forward to solve troubles and disputes for others, although he would also ask friends in the rivers and lakes to do something for himself, but he didn't wait for him to speak, he came to help, he never thought that there would be such a day.

The excited people reluctantly compromised, and under the angry gaze of Li Zhutou, they dispersed one after another, and Uncle Zhang invited everyone into the store to drink and eat, and Li Zhutou said that he would go back to the Liang prefect's mansion to report his life. He also passed the words of the Liang Governor's Mansion, telling Ling Chaofeng not to be polite, and to go to Lizhou Mansion to discuss anything.

In this way, there were only a few friends in the rivers and lakes, they sat in the store, drank and played with Uncle Biao, talked with Ling Chaofeng about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and Aunt Zhang poured wine and served food, so it was not lively.

Xiao Wan stood on the third floor with a smile and watched, and her heart was very happy. She realized the truth, although the jade ring has magical powers, but in the world, relying on inexplicable magical powers to protect her, it is unreliable after all.

So many people have come today to help solve troubles, Xianggong is a lot of help, it is good and good, good and bad between people, good and evil, not a ring can be controlled. I'm afraid that it is an immortal Bodhisattva, and I can't estimate all the people in the world.

To live, let us live on our own, and let us do many good deeds.

And the matter here was reported back to the town, and before Li Zhutou returned to Lizhou Mansion, he took a trip to the county magistrate's yamen, passed the words of Liang Governor's Mansion, and warned the county magistrate to do it himself.

Since he took office, Baisha County has been greatly inferior in all aspects, and among all the counties in the entire Lizhou Prefecture, Baisha County is about to fall from the richest county to the last place, and if this continues, his black yarn hat will not be able to keep it.

After Li Zhutou left, the county magistrate lost his temper, he now compensated his wife and soldiers, and didn't say anything else, who would pay him a thousand taels of silver, and he paid out of his own pocket for disaster relief to the people in order to make a show.

This idea was thought of by Yue Huaiyin, he naturally came to settle accounts with a woman, Yue Huaiyin was almost beaten again, and her brain turned quickly, and she coaxed the county master with some words.

Coincidentally, the next day, Xu and Aunt Wang went to the town to buy things, and Foreman Mu was going out to work, so she came to buy some tobacco for the man to take with her.

They came to visit Yue Huaiyin by the way, and when they saw that her complexion was extremely bad, they knew in their hearts that she must have been tossed by the county magistrate, and the two comforted her.

Yue Huaiyin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked Xu: "Last time, you invited the goddess who laid the curse, but can you still find it?" ”

Xu and Aunt Wang looked at each other: "I can find it, the girl wants the goddess ......"

Yue Huaiyin knew that if she cursed Mu Xiaowan, she was afraid that she would fight back against her, she would not be so stupid, but she could curse the county master, and even curse the Duchess of Dingguo in the capital.

Since Xu's last time worked, although she counterattacked herself, it can be seen that these things that pretend to be ghosts still have a certain effect.

Aunt Wang and Xu's found the goddess from the neighboring village, because it was the business they introduced, and they didn't come to calculate with her if they messed up last time, so it was decided, no matter how much money Yue Huaiyin gave them, they would have to divide the account in four or six points.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the county master to fall ill, and the doctor went a few times, but he couldn't see any major symptoms, but the whole person was sick and listless, and occasionally dragged his body to Siyun Pavilion, and he didn't want to toss Yue Huaiyin anymore, but he just talked to her and fell asleep.

Yue Huaiyin occasionally mentioned a few words about ghosts, and the county master gritted his teeth with hatred, clenched his fists and said, "Ling Chaofeng, don't fall into my hands." ”

In the blink of an eye, the New Year passed.

On the first day of the second lunar month, Foreman Mu set off to work, passed by Lingxiao Inn, brought some food for his daughter, brought some small playthings to his grandson who was about to be born, looked at his pot-bellied daughter, and said happily: "When Dad comes back, come and hug my eldest grandson." ”

The things that Xiaowan prepared for her father were similar to the old years, but the silver was doubled, and Foreman Mu didn't open it to see it, so he naturally didn't know, but what Xiaowan thought was that she was afraid that when her father returned from work, she would have moved away with Ling Chaofeng. In the future, it will be far away, and it will be difficult to see each other again, so I can only ask my friends here to help take care of it.

Naturally, this is all an afterthought, and Xiaowan didn't mention a word.

But Foreman Mu went to the dock, today somehow, all the boats are blocked outside and can't get in, finally there is a boat, and it is not the direction that Foreman Mu wants to go, he and some people have to go back the same way from morning to night.

The store was just about to close, and when he saw Foreman Mu walking by with his luggage, Uncle Biao stepped forward to greet him, and when he heard about this, he invited his father-in-law to stay in the store for one night.

Foreman Mu was embarrassed to stay, Xiaowan said that his daughter's house was important, and his father reluctantly lived in the room north of the second floor.

At night, Xiaowan slept soundly, and at some point, she was suddenly woken up by Ling Chaofeng, who picked her up horizontally and rushed out of the door.

Xiao Wan smelled a scorching breath, they broke out of the gate, the inn was already surrounded by fire, I don't know who came to the inn in the middle of the night to set fire.

Ling Chaofeng smelled the smell of tung oil and knew that the fire would spread soon, so it was important to save his life first, and after sensing the fire, he immediately hugged Xiao Wan out.

Uncle Biao and Aunt Zhang also came out, seeing that the fire was rapidly rushing upstairs, and several of them were powerless to rescue them.

"Dad, my dad ......" Xiaowan suddenly remembered that her father was still in the room on the north side of the second floor, and her father had always slept deadly, but he was afraid that he would not notice the fire at all.

"Xianggong, my father is still on the second floor." Xiaowan was so frightened that she shouted loudly, "Dad, Dad...... Wake up, you're on fire! ”

This shout actually stimulated the fetus in the womb, Xiaowan only felt that something was flowing out from under her body, followed by a sharp pain in the abdomen, which made her unable to stand.

Ling Chaofeng was just about to rush in to save his father-in-law, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw Xiaowan fall to the ground.

"Late ......"
