In the middle of the night, a carriage stopped outside the inn. Ling Chaofeng walked into the shop, and just as he picked up the bride from the Baisha Town that escaped, the little girl in wedding dress was already unconscious, lying obediently in his embrace.

When the chef Uncle Biao and his wife Aunt Zhang came out, Ling Chaofeng did not say anything and directly went upstairs.

Ershan who was running in the shop stopped his horse carriage and entered: ”Aunt, the shopkeeper wants some hot water for the bride to bathe in.”

Soon after, the big bath barrel was brought to the bedroom and hot water was poured into it. The room was filled with steam and the Aunt Zhang rolled up her sleeves wanting to help, but when she saw the shopkeeper quietly sitting down, she raised her eyebrows and laughed: ”What does it matter to me?”

After the door was closed, Ling Chaofeng disapproved and carefully took care of all the clothes on Xiaowan's body.

Xiaowan had her eyes closed tight. Her waist was so small that it couldn't fit into her arms. Although she was only seventeen years old, she was still too skinny.

However, what made Ling Chaofeng frown wasn't the bride's weakness, but the wounds on his body. It didn't seem like it was caused by a fight just now, but more like an old scar that had been whipped by a cane or whip.

His heart sank as he picked up the tiny figure and held her in the bath.

The unconscious man seemed to be completely unconscious. It was only when they were halfway there that he started mumbling to himself, ”Mother, don't leave me behind …”

Ling Chaofeng silently washed her body, caressing her wounds. Since he was his new wife, this was what he had to do.

Ling Chaofeng placed her on the bed, wanting to help her put on his sleeping clothes. However, the person in his dream held onto his arm, and refused to let go as their bodies subconsciously curled together.

Ling Chaofeng took back his hands and tucked her in. Then, he quietly left the bedroom.

When he closed the door, he saw that there was a lock on it. He thought for a moment, then took off the lock and went to his room.
