Ling Chaofeng only used a little force to throw Mu Wenbao out, and the child rolled on the ground, crying in fright. Xu turned around and picked up his son from the ground, and shouted screaming: "Wenbao, did the fall hurt, Wenbao, let my mother take a look." ”

Xiaowan ran to her husband's side, Ling Chaofeng held her hand, and there were more and more passers-by, but they didn't come to care about Xu's mother and son, but to see Ling Chaofeng in Yushu and the beautiful little lady beside him.

The husband and wife walked in the crowd, and they were also a very conspicuous couple, but when people came and went, everyone focused on their own business and fun, but when they stopped at this moment, they couldn't take their eyes off.

Familiar people whispered among themselves, speculating about what Ling Chaofeng was from and why he couldn't get along with a child.

"Let's go." Little Evening Road.

Ling Chaofeng didn't say anything, took her hand and left together, Ling Chaofeng was extraordinary, there was no need for them to move away from the crowd, wherever they went, passers-by naturally got out of the way.

But after walking a few steps, I heard Xu's crying and scolding: "Mu Xiaowan, I worked hard to raise you, provide you with food and clothing, and be your mother and father, where am I sorry for you?" Everyone gave me a comment, I raised my stepdaughter as my own child, and found her a good family to marry, and as a result, she came back with her son-in-law to beat us, you see, the child was thrown like this......"

Many folks in Qingling Village in the crowd knew Xiaowan, and they knew that the man next to her was the shopkeeper of Lingxiao Inn, it turned out that the legendary shopkeeper Ling was like this, not to mention what he looked like, seeing him treat Xiaowan like this, they all secretly sighed that Xiaowan's hard days were over, and blessings came.

After getting farther away, Xiaowan's heart also calmed down, and when she looked at the direction of the sun, she said to her husband, "Let's go find my aunt and eat with them, Xianggong, I'm hungry." ”

Ling Chaofeng bowed: "Uncle Biao has chartered a private room in the teahouse, do you want to go to listen to the book together after dinner?" ”

"Hmm." Xiaowan smiled, looked at her husband's gaze, and was full of gratitude, "Xianggong, thank you." ”

"Thanks, stupid." Ling Chaofeng sneered.

"With you, I'm not afraid of anything, and I'll never be afraid of her again." Xiaowan's eyes were resolute, "Even if I meet her alone in the future, I won't let her bully her anymore, I will eat a lot of food, grow taller, and I will be able to beat her." ”

This made Ling Chaofeng very surprised, just seeing a neighbor made her flustered, and when she saw her stepmother, she became brave, it can be seen that what makes her afraid is the past experience, not the stepmother herself, at least now she doesn't have to be afraid of that mother-in-law anymore, but the past hardships are engraved in her heart, she must be very afraid of one day, and live like that again.

"Go home, I'll teach you a few tricks, okay?" Ling Chaofeng smiled, but his mind turned, and his eyes suddenly became a little colorful.

"How do I think, you want to bully people." Xiaowan smiled softly, with anger and coquettishness, "Don't bully me." ”

Before the words fell, a woman's voice came from not far away, shouting angrily: "Wei Tengfei, I warn you, if you catch me again, I will bite my tongue and kill myself." ”

The man said calmly: "You didn't eat and drink for toasting, you brought it on yourself." ”

After that, he carried the young girl on his shoulder with one hand, the girl was wearing a white dress and a green dress like Xiaowan, and the man who carried her was the one who had just recognized himself.

"Let go of me, let go of me......" The girl punched and kicked the man in the shoulder, and grabbed his hair desperately, it seemed to be in pain, but the man was unmoved, and carried the girl away quickly.

Xiao Wan looked stunned, glanced at Ling Chaofeng, and saw him smiling, so she asked weakly: "If I am disobedient, will you treat me like this?" ”

Ling Chaofeng shook his head, but said, "You don't dare to be disobedient." ”

Xiaowan raised her long eyebrows, pouted and said, "Why don't I dare?" Anyway...... You can't bear to do this to me. ”

The two frolicked and joked, so they went to find Aunt Zhang and Uncle Biao, forgot about Xu's play completely, and listened to the book in the teahouse after lunch.

At this time, Xu took his son and daughter back to Qingling Village, met the people in the village along the way, and openly and secretly mentioned that their mother and son were beaten by the eldest son-in-law, which made her so angry that she almost went crazy, and as soon as she came home, she fell and beaten, and the child's cry came out, and she screamed: "I let you cry, you debt collector." ”

Listening outside, it looks like beating a child, which is not uncommon in the Mu family, which time did she not beat her stepdaughter to death, but at this time, Aunt Wang pushed the door in to persuade her, but only to see Xu's holding a bamboo ruler to draw the quilt on the kang, the son and daughter were scared, but they didn't hit them at all.

Aunt Wang pursed her lips and came up to persuade: "It's a big holiday, why do you bother, drink saliva to dissipate your anger." On the other hand, he said to the two children, "Don't cry, go to my aunt's house to get mooncakes to eat." ”

The two children ran away crying, Xu was so angry that he sat down on the kang, wiped a handful of tears and said: "I live this life, when will I be so embarrassed as today, I knew that today, I should have asked her father to send this evil seed away." ”

She cried and cried, and Aunt Wang persuaded her for a long time, saying: "Wait for your man to come back, let him reason, doesn't she take you in her eyes, and doesn't she put her father in her eyes?" Don't worry, the days are still long, you just look at Xiaowan's appearance of wearing gold and silver today, I don't know how thick the family background in the inn is, what is it to be wronged, if you can get some from her in the future, it is a serious matter. ”

Xu snorted coldly: "How to take it, you look at that Ling Chaofeng, the appearance is not bad, but he can be ruthless, I am really afraid that he will pinch off the neck of our Wenbao with one hand." ”

As she spoke, she cried a few times in fear: "I am just this one son, I married into this family, what the hell is going on, I can't count on any of ......"

Aunt Wang persuaded: "As the old saying goes, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, what are you anxious about, let's see what the situation is in the inn, one day, let them kneel at your feet and kowtow to you." Don't say anything else, you are always her mother, she has to admit it if she doesn't recognize it, wait for Lao Mu to come back, don't quarrel with him, coax him first, let him know that you are wronged, let him understand that his daughter is sorry for you, you have found such a good family for Mu Xiaowan, but she will take revenge. ”

Xu squinted his eyes, a cold light came out of the slit, and gritted his teeth: "I won't let her go if I die." ”

At this moment, in the teahouse of Baisha Town, there was constant laughter, and it was not until dusk that the story was finished. Xiao Wan was still unfinished, so Uncle Biao pouted on the side: "Listen to it, evening, Uncle Hui will take you to listen again." ”

Aunt Zhang reprimanded her husband: "I came to listen to books, and I can't do business anymore, don't take the evening badly." ”

And they had eaten a lot of snacks while listening to the book, so they did not eat supper in the town, but rode together in a carriage back to the inn.

There were many people on the street, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the town, Xiaowan and Aunt Zhang snuggled up to each other, walking and strolling like a mother and daughter, and gradually there were fewer people, Aunt Zhang suddenly said: "Xiaowan, you smell it, this fragrance, I smelled it on the street just now." ”

Following the aroma, they found a rouge shop called Siyun Pavilion on the side of the street, the store was already brightly lit, and there were all kinds of delicate rouge gouache, and the aroma outside the store was a little mixed, but when it was far away just now, the unique smell was the most obvious.

"Lady, come in and have a look." A decent middle-aged woman came to Zhang Luo and said enthusiastically, "We have the best rouge in the capital in our store, and the ladies in the palace use this." ”

Aunt Zhang suddenly stopped and said politely: "It's not early, let's come and see it another day." ”

Xiaowan naturally listened to her, and the men followed, and the group walked away.

When Ling Chaofeng returned to the room, Xiaowan had already laid down, and when he also lay down, his wife got into his arms and pestered him, and said softly: "Xianggong, I'm sleepy." ”

But today, I played and listened to the story, and I had a fight with my stepmother, and after experiencing too many things, my dreams became messy.

Dream back to childhood, became a child she followed others to the market, but was caught back by her stepmother, all kinds of whips and sticks beckoned to her body, the pain of the past was deep in the memory, so it became so real in the dream, Xiaowan cried and shouted, and when she was woken up by Ling Chaofeng, her face was full of tears.

"Nightmare?" Ling Chaofeng gently wiped away her tears and gently coaxed, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

Xiaowan sobbed a few times and hugged her husband violently, Ling Chaofeng slowly sat up and hugged her in his arms. Xiaowan stuck to the door of her husband's heart, she could feel the solid strength in her chest, and she suddenly asked: "Xianggong, why do you want to marry me, do you like me?" ”

Ling Chaofeng sneered: "You don't remember me, do you?" ”

Xiao Wan raised her head blankly: "Don't remember you?" ”

Ling Chaofeng said: "We met, we met before we got married. ”

Xiao Wan was even more dazed, even if Ling Chaofeng talked in detail about the experience of her first encounter, Xiao Wan still couldn't remember, she didn't remember that she had seen Ling Chaofeng, such a tall and straight man with a jade tree in the wind, if she had seen it, how could she not remember it?

In order to think about it, she forgot the fear in her dream.

And Ling Chaofeng gently put down his wife, gently took off her clothes, and comforted her panicked heart with lingering kisses.

In the next few days, Xiaowan always chatted with Aunt Zhang, saying that she didn't remember meeting Xianggong, and Aunt Zhang was annoyed by her, saying: "It doesn't matter if you remember anything, you are now husband and wife, and you will be together for the rest of your life." ”

Xiaowan is happy to listen to it.

However, on this day, the people from the yamen suddenly came, and Xiaowan hurriedly came to the inn, thinking that something had happened to the inn, but they just came to post a notice outside the inn so that people could see it.

Xiaowan couldn't read or write, so she could only listen to Na Kuai say to Ling Chaofeng: "The emperor announced his abdication, passed the throne to the four princes, and the new monarch ascended the throne on New Year's Day, and the year name will be changed." ”
