When Ling Chaofeng heard this, he immediately followed Aunt Zhang to look for him, but sure enough, there was no trace of Xiaowan, and the mother and daughter did not know where to go.

"Is there anything missing in the house?" Ling Chaofeng asked.

"I'll take ......a look," Aunt Zhang flipped through the pages and replied, "The shopkeeper, I didn't lose anything." ”

Uncle Biao and Ershan both came, and Uncle Biao said with a solemn face: "Could it be that the mother and daughter are human teeth, pretending to be poor abductors, and abducting Wan'er away?" ”

Ling Chaofeng frowned, walked to the back door, checked the traces on the ground, and couldn't tell which direction they were going, and the road at both ends was straight, standing upstairs you could see a long distance, the last time Aunt Zhang saw them until now, even if she couldn't go far on horseback, in the direction of the Baisha River wharf, the gang was still on the road.

But on both sides of the road, there are barren mountains and wild forests, and if you get in, you will find no trace, but the mountains and wilderness are vast, which direction should you look for, if Xiaowan really met a liar...... Ling Chaofeng secretly clenched his fists, he was too careless.

However, at this moment, Xiaowan opened her eyes, and she took the mother and daughter from the house in the backyard of the inn to this place.

The autumn wind gusts of river water hitting the shore, it must be the Baisha River wharf, I saw the slender men and porters on the wharf are busy, just a big ship docked, down a lot of people, unloading the rental car, will soon rush to Baisha Town.

No one noticed that there were suddenly three more people on the stone bench on the side of the road.

Xiaowan's heart was about to jump out, and she came to the Baisha River Wharf in an instant.

Just now she closed her eyes, and made a wish that she could leave the inn immediately and take the mother and daughter to a place where they could leave the country.

"What is this?" The mother and daughter were woken up by the bustling voices, and suddenly changed places in front of them, so frightened that they snuggled together, and when they saw Xiaowan there, they asked timidly, "Girl, where are we?" ”

"They found the inn, I, we can only send you here, auntie, sit down, I'll inquire." Xiaowan couldn't explain, and she didn't know how to explain it, so she casually told a lie, so she ran to the dock to ask where the docked boat was going.

After this inquiry, Xiao Wan realized a problem, she patronized and brought the mother and daughter out, not wanting them to be handed over by Ling Chaofeng, but she forgot to bring some silver or even dry food, and the three of them came out empty-handed.

But if she made another wish, it didn't work, and she remembered that her mother-in-law had told her in a dream that she could only make one wish a day.

A carriage slowly walked by, and when Xiaowan raised her eyes, she saw the scene that had been blocked just now.

On the other side of the carriage, a young woman, wearing a blue skirt, with a gold thread and black gauze shawl on her arm, a long dress with wide sleeves, fluttering in the wind, Xiaowan recognized her as a girl in the rouge shop.

Yue Huaiyin also seemed to realize that he was being looked at, turned around this way, and smiled gently when he saw that it was Xiaowan.

At this moment, in the distance, horses were neighing, and people were shouting, and the group of people were sitting on tall horses, and there were many people disembarking, and they were making noise and shouting in the way of their horses.

Xiao Wan recognized it at a glance, looked around in a panic, where is there a place to hide, turned around and saw Miss Yue directing people to carry the boxes into the carriage, she had a thrill in her heart, and she couldn't care so much, she ran over with a red face, and begged: "Miss Yue, can I ask you for a favor?" ”

Huaiyin asked curiously, "What can I do?" ”

Xiaowan didn't have time to explain, so she only said, "Please help me hide two people." ”

Let's say that the group of people, all the way to the Baisha River wharf, happened to encounter a boat docking, the wharf was full of people, as well as donkey carts and carriages.

It is not easy to get rid of the crowd in this way, and they want to search again, neither is it an official errand, how can others easily agree, there are conflicts from time to time, and finally they are angry with everyone, and when they see that they are outnumbered, they can only go away in disgrace.

And just as they were arguing with the people on the dock, the carriage of Siyun Pavilion slowly walked through the crowd and slowly headed towards Baisha Town, filled with rouge gouache that had just been sent to the shore, and the fragrance was one step at a time.

Xiaowan and the mother and daughter were both in the car, Xiaowan sat next to Miss Yue, while the mother and daughter hid behind the box, the carriage was stuffed to the brim, the carriage went very slowly, and the gang quickly rode to catch up.

Hearing the noisy movement outside the car, the mother and daughter trembled in fright, but they seemed to see that the driver was not like a bully, so they just shouted a few words angrily and hurried away.

The carriage was still moving slowly, a gust of wind blew, lifted the curtain, and Xiaowan saw his own inn.

Yue Huaiyin asked, "Mrs. Ling, do you get out of the car?" The inn arrived. ”

Mrs. Ling? It's a fresh name, it's the first time Xiaowan has been called like this.

Xiao Wan silently read these three words in her heart, but at the moment she couldn't say it, she was afraid that Ling Chaofeng would hand over the mother and daughter for money, and saw her husband accept their money and talk and laugh, thinking of his always eccentric and unpredictable style of acting...... The more I thought about it, the more chaotic my heart became.

"Mrs. Ling, are you getting out of the car?" I saw Yue Huaiyin say gently, "If you don't get out of the car, you will go back to the store with me." ”

Xiao Wan came back to her senses and said guiltily: "Miss Yue, I'm sorry, I can't go back to the inn for the time being, and I don't know where to send them, and it is likely that they will cause you trouble." ”

Because of the incident, after Xiaowan took someone into the car, she explained to Yue Huaiyin that she was also a poor little lady who was abused at her husband's house, but she didn't understand why this Xiaowan girl didn't ask her husband for help.

After coming to Baisha Town for a long time, Yue Huaiyin already knows that Lingxiao Inn is omnipotent.

"I'm short of staff in my shop, you can stay if you want." Yue Huaiyin said to the mother and daughter, "Naturally, if you want to return to your hometown, I can also fund the entanglement, but it is difficult to say whether you will meet those people again on the road in the future." ”

The eldest lady said timidly: "Don't hide it from the girl, we are already homeless, but I am afraid that her uncompetitive brother at home is waiting for us and will continue to push his sister into the fire pit." My mother's family is in the same village, and I can't hide from it. For a month, we hid aimlessly in Tibet, taking one step at a time, determined that even if we died on the road, I would not let my daughter go back there. ”

Yue Huaiyin's eyes were gentle: "In this case, it is better to stay in my shop to work, there is a bite to eat and a place to live, I will also pay you, if you are let go of you in the future, and you will no longer be hunted down, if you want to leave again, you can naturally leave at any time." I can rest assured that those people will not dare to set foot in the store even if they linger in Baisha Town. ”

Mother and daughter glanced at each other, frightened and starving for a month, they were already in despair. Now there are people who are willing to take them in and even protect them, it is better than starving to death or being captured and beaten to death.

The eldest lady hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you girl for taking me, thank you girl." ”

Yue Huaiyin stretched out his hand to support him, and said with a smile: "It's not me who should be thanked, it's Mrs. Ling who saved you." ”

Xiao Wan's eyes were shining, she was very moved, and looked at her gratefully: "Miss Yue, you are really a good person." ”

Yue Huaiyin smiled lightly: "It seems that we will often deal with each other, so that your words are really outstanding." Look at how many years older than you, let me call you by your name, I won't call you Mrs. Ling anymore, okay? Don't be polite, call me by my name. ”

Xiaowan nodded, but Yue Huaiyin said again: "I can take them in, but I can't take you in, Xiaowan, you should get out of the car, if you don't get out of the car, you will have to go away." ”

As she spoke, she ordered the carriage to stop, and she smiled softly and waited quietly for Xiaowan to leave.

really wants to separate, but Xiaowan is uneasy, she can't even trust her father-in-law, why should she believe in a person who meets in Pingshui.

Yue Huaiyin seemed to see her thoughts: "Don't you believe me? ”

Xiao Wan hurriedly shook her head: "No." ”

At this point, since there is no better place to go, since the eldest lady is willing to follow Miss Yue, it may be the best arrangement.

Xiaowan has no other skills, only the jade ring in her hand, the jade ring is indeed magical, but she is not smart enough and not thoughtful enough, she made a wish by the jade ring before, but she brought people out, but what next?

"Xiao Wan?" Yue Huaiyin smiled, "Get out of the car." ”

"Well, then I'll go, Miss Yue, thank you." Xiaowan thanked her, and before getting out of the car, she remembered and asked, "Auntie, I don't know what your surname is." ”

The eldest lady hurriedly said: "The husband's surname is Chen, and the daughter's name is Susu." ”

Miss Su Su even kowtowed to Xiaowan: "Miss Xiaowan, thank you for saving your life." ”

Xiaowan said, "You guys go with Miss Yue, I'll come to see you again." ”

After she got out of the car, Yue Huaiyin waved goodbye to her in front of the window, and the carriage slowly moved forward again, all the way to Baisha Town.

Xiaowan is not really down-to-earth, and the development of things is completely different from what she imagined.

She regretted not believing Ling Chaofeng and regretting doing such an impulsive thing, but at that time, she had only one thought, she couldn't hand over the mother and daughter no matter what.

Perhaps, only Miss Su Su can understand how distrustful and uneasy a person who has been abused all the year round is in his heart about the world, but Ling Chaofeng is her husband after all, and he treats her so well.

"Xianggong ......" stood in the wind, Xiaowan calmed down, and she began to miss her husband.

She turned around uneasily, the inn was not far behind, and unexpectedly, Ling Chaofeng was standing in front of the store.

"Xianggong!" Xiao Wan's heart was hot, and she ran two steps forward, but her heart trembled, and she stopped again when she thought of what had just happened.

How should she explain to Ling Chaofeng that she "suddenly disappeared" with Aunt Chen's mother and daughter?

The jade ring is very spiritual, but it seems that after every miracle, you have to lie to hide the truth, lying is unsettling, at least Xiaowan doesn't want to be a person full of lies.

The last time she used the jade ring to fade away the scars all over her body, she casually responded to the princess that it was the effect of the plaster, and she didn't realize it was a lie at the time, but at this moment, she had to make up something to explain their disappearance.

Unless, I don't want the jade ring to work anymore, and tell Ling Chaofeng the truth directly, so that the jade ring will become an ordinary ring, but if the public doesn't believe it, the jade ring will no longer work, how can Xiaowan prove that what she said is true?

In this world, there is nothing perfect, there is nothing that can be obtained without work, and there is nothing that can be obtained without paying.

When she was thinking about it for so much, Ling Chaofeng had gradually come in, and the wind blew his robe up, with anger.

Xiaowan remembered that Xianggong said not to make him angry, and her most direct fear of anger was that she was afraid that she would not be beaten, and seeing her husband getting closer and closer, her body unconsciously took two steps back.

But it was these two steps that really angered Ling Chaofeng.

In the inn, Aunt Zhang saw Xiaowan and the shopkeeper walking back one after another, and her heart suddenly fell back into her stomach, and she pulled Xiaowan and asked, "Wan'er, where have you been, what about the mother and daughter?" You frightened us, we thought you had been abducted. ”

"I—I sent them away." Xiao Wan was snorting, and as soon as she spoke, she heard her husband say behind her back, "Go back to the room and stay." ”

Aunt Zhang glanced at Ling Chaofeng, let go of her hand in a playful manner, and Xiaowan glanced at her weakly, as if she was asking for help, but there was no way, she didn't dare to disobey Ling Chaofeng, so she could only go upstairs obediently.

Back in the house, Xiaowan was relieved, she was very tired after most of the day. I found that I had tossed around in the morning until now, and the house had not been cleaned up yet, so I was busy tidying up the room.

When she knelt on the bed and folded the quilt, the door was opened, Ling Chaofeng walked in, put a bowl of noodles, and left without saying anything.

Xiaowan got out of bed and chased to the door, stood behind him and whispered: "Xianggong ......" but didn't know what to say.

Ling Chaofeng was indifferent: "Eat the things, I'm going out now, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it when I come back." ”

Xiaowan lowered her eyes, but her husband suddenly turned around and leaned over to look at her very closely, as if he was really angry, and couldn't suppress his anger: "Mu Xiaowan, you should listen to what I said, don't you?" ”

"No, no, no ......"

"Wherever you go, talk to your family." Ling Chaofeng endured the last bit of temperament, "I'm not here, you can tell Aunt Zhang, you can tell Uncle Biao Ershan, if no one in the family is there, you can be honest with me." Do you think you have three heads and six arms, you think you can have a lot of ability, you know how sinister the world is outside, you just trust others casually, who gave you the courage. ”

Xiaowan's eyes were crystal clear, as if tears would fall when she trembled.

Ling Chaofeng was very conflicted, he hoped that Xiaowan would become more bold and no longer afraid of the fear brought to her by her stepmother, but also worried that a person like her, who had been suppressed for too long and too deeply, would not be able to contain it once she let go. Xiaowan is lively and cheerful by nature, but she was not allowed to live according to her own nature before.

If they were ordinary people, Ling Chaofeng would be fine, and they would be spoiled and hurt in this life, but they run inns, open doors to do business, and every day is a river and lake. He can't be reckless from Xiao Wan, there are too many poor people in the world, and they can only save people, not the world.

Looking at the wronged person, where is he willing to be really fierce, but he is too worried and too angry.

Ling Chaofeng said with a calm face: "I'll go to the town, I'll go back when I go, you stay in the room, and you are not allowed to go to the store, which foot is ...... out?"

"What are you doing in town?" Xiaowan became nervous, could it be that her husband saw Miss Yue's carriage and wanted to go to the rouge shop to arrest someone?

"You sent them to town?" Ling Chaofeng asked rhetorically.

"No ......" Xiaowan denied it, but when she looked at her husband, she quickly lost the battle, and could only hold on to the last bit of justice, and mustered up the courage to ask, "You have collected money from others, do you want to hand them over, and you are not short of money, Xianggong, why are you doing this?" ”

Ling Chaofeng frowned: "What are you talking about?" ”

Xiaowan compared the situation in the store before, and said "It's easy to say" like Ling Chaofeng, she asked angrily: "You have so much money, can't you let Aunt Chen and Su Su live?" How much do you need to be satisfied? ”

Ling Chaofeng understood, this guy misunderstood that he was going to hand people over, so he ran away with the mother and daughter, what made people angry was that she didn't believe herself, but she was also a little relieved, Mu Xiaowan was more courageous than she imagined.

"Where are they?" Ling Chaofeng asked.

"I won't tell you if I die." Xiao Wanqi glared at him with a snort.

"And what are you doing here?" Ling Chaofeng asked again.

"I ......" Xiaowan was stunned, one yard to one yard, could it be that he didn't want himself.

Ling Chaofeng put his arm around her and took her out the door, Xiaowan struggled: "Where are you going to take me......

"I took money from others, and since I can't find them, I can only hand you over." Ling Chaofeng hugged Xiaowan's waist, took her downstairs, and said coldly, "You are much more beautiful than that little lady, maybe people can give me more rewards." ”

The couple went out of the door like this, Aunt Zhang and Uncle Biao looked inexplicable, and Xiaowan shouted from outside the door: "Auntie, help me." ”

Aunt Zhang stopped to see the lively Ershan: "Silly boy, what's the matter with you?" ”

And said that Yue Huaiyin took Chen's mother and daughter back to the store, and ordered someone to take care of them, she counted the goods received from the dock and locked them in the warehouse. ”

When Huaiyin heard this, he went straight to the store, only to see Ling Chaofeng standing in front of the door, and Xiaowan followed him.

"Shopkeeper Ling." Huaiyin stepped forward and bowed in greeting, "You guys are ......"

Xiaowan winked at her on the side, and waved her hand quietly, as if she hoped that Yue Huaiyin would not mention the matter of Chen's mother and daughter, but Ling Chaofeng said straight to the point: "Neizi is reckless and has involved Miss Yue in the turmoil for no reason, thank you Miss Yue for including." ”

Xiao Wan glared at her husband, did he really guess right?

And Ling Chaofeng hugged Xiaowan, pressed her head and bowed to Yue Huaiyin, and said, "Since Miss Yue has taken them in, please take care of them for a few days, and when I solve the troubles, we will discuss the arrangements later." ”

Xiaowan was confused, but Ling Chaofeng and Miss Yue explained the matter in a few simple words, and before she could take a look at Chen's mother and daughter, Xianggong slipped her out and hugged her into the saddle.

She was condescending, looking at Ling Chaofeng, Ling Chaofeng glanced at her lightly, turned over on the horse, and protected her in his arms, but her tone was cold: "Go home, go home and clean you up." ”
