”I'll give you the ring.” Xiaowan said with a serious face, ”Then a thousand silver is not mine.”

Ling Chaofeng rolled his eyes at her as he tried his best to take off the ring, but the ring seemed to be growing on her hand and he couldn't take it off.

”This ring …” Ling Chaofeng had already left, without saying a word, the Xiaowan grumbled, ”One thousand gold, I don't even know what the next life is going to be like, what exactly is this person thinking?”

She subconsciously walked to the door and opened it slightly, wanting to see what was outside. However, she saw that when Ling Chaofeng went downstairs, the Second Madam was waiting for him with a smile.

Xiaowan saw her give something that looked like a money pouch to Ling Chaofeng, and then, as if she was afraid that Lord Sun or someone else would see, she quickly ran away.

Could it be that the Second Madam gave Ling Chaofeng money, bribed him, and killed the both of them?

Thinking about that, the Xiaowan was scared and angry at the same time, she slammed the door shut. Ling Chaofeng heard his and lightly looked up the stairs. Xiaowan was regretful that she did not manage to understand Ling Chaofeng. Would this anger him, provoke him, and what kind of ending would it bring about?

Suddenly, his stomach growled, causing Xiaowan to be hungry. He turned around and saw a bowl of wontons on the table. Each of them was wrapped in a filling bag. The white and fat rice was extremely alluring.

She sat down to eat first. She ate a mouthful of lentinus pork, shrimp filling, and shepherd's purse filling, eating a total of ten silver ingots, making Xiaowan's stomach swell to the point that it almost burst out of her body.

She rubbed her stomach and sighed softly. If there really was a butcher selling meat buns here, I don't know what she just ate, but it's really too delicious. Unknowingly … Since yesterday, she felt as if she had eaten more food than she had in the past seventeen years, so she naturally didn't exaggerate anything. Since yesterday, she felt as if she had eaten more food than she had in the past seventeen years, so she naturally didn't exaggerate.

It's not cold and hungry here, it's not cold and cold here, it's cold.” She remembered what Ling Chaofeng had said. Ling Chaofeng had said that before the marriage annulment, she was his wife, and no one would ever hit her again.

Xiaowan raised her sleeves. The bruises on her wrist that were tied up were still very eye-catching, and if she went up any further, there would be old wounds that had been whipped by the thorns, causing her back to be filled with wounds.

Since she was young, she would beat her with whatever her stepmother got. The worst case scenario was if her stepmother lent the family's silver to her good brothers before New Year's Eve, but her stepmother was so angry that she didn't dare to cause trouble with her father. She would beat her to death while her father was busy with the New Year stuff.

She walked over to the mirror and brushed her thick black hair away. Her white scalp was scarred, and she was covered with wounds, everywhere, and in her heart.

Xiaowan looked at the house again carefully. This was her wedding room, even if she was unwilling to admit it, she had already married. She didn't know what kind of person Ling Chaofeng was, but he was actually the first person in this world to say such a thing to her.

She no longer had to be afraid of getting beaten, and no longer needed to go hungry. However, she had to be Ling Chaofeng's wife and stay in the Ling Xiao Inn.

”Mother, what should I do …” Xiaowan was choked with sobs, but at this time, she heard someone crying downstairs. Someone was crying, ”Madam, Madam …”

Mrs. Sun? Xiaowan's body tensed up, she ran to the door and stood at the top of the stairs to look down. The weeping of the female servants became even clearer, their mistress, was dead.

Xiaowan fell to the ground. A good person, a good person died just like that?
