C13 (2/2)
Ling Chaofeng walked up from below and instantly felt that the Xiaowan was here. He didn't know how the Xiaowan understood the gaze he passed over, but he wanted him to return to his room and stay there.
There was no place forhisr to get involved to, and he was not too familiar with Mrs. Sun either. Regretfully, her life was inevitable, and because of this, Xiaowan could not even do something as heartbroken as dying. She was afraid. When she gradually began to feel that this wasn't a murder shop, he could only watch one person die before his eyes.
It seemed that even the magistrate was alarmed. When dawn arrived, Ling Chaofeng pushed open the door and entered the room, knocking over the person who was hugging his knees and sitting on the door.
Xiaowan crawled up in a daze, looking up at him blankly.
Ling Chaofeng was furious: You sat on the ground for an entire night?
Xiaowan was a bit more clear-headed, her lips moved slightly, she did not say anything, but the man had already reached out her hand, pulling herself up from the ground.
Ling Chaofeng said coldly, ”Wash your face and rinse your mouth. Lord Sun is going to the pier to send off his guests.”
Xiaowan asked: ”Where's the Madam?”
Ling Chaofeng replied: Let the servants carry the coffins back to the village. The Lord Sun has other matters to attend to, they need to complete some tasks first, as for the matters that they need to complete, after leaving the inn, it has nothing to do with me.
Sure enough, this man was cold and merciless. Xiaowan smiled bitterly and turned around, feeling weird: ”I'm going to send you off too?”
Afterwards, the Xiaowan sat in a carriage and followed the Lord Sun's group to the Baisha River Pier. The official ship was big and beautiful, with guards waiting for the Lord Sun along the shore. She was wearing a bright red dress, with a head full of jade like golden hairpin. It was such a joyous look, as if nothing had happened, as if the night had passed and they had completely forgotten about Mrs. Sun.
Second Madam was in high spirits, as if he had met a great fortune. He followed Lord Sun to meet Ling Chaofeng and warmly pulled him along: ”So you are Manager Ling's wife. This jade bracelet will be treated as a greeting gift. young lady, we will meet again. ”
As she spoke, she slipped her bracelet into Xiaowan's wrist and then said to her husband: ”Master, it's about time, I don't dare to delay your business.”
Lord Sun brought her onto the boat. When Xiaowan thought about how Second Madam had insulted him yesterday that she was a chicken that could not lay eggs, and how she had flattered and seduced Ling Chaofeng with enchanting words, she became inexplicably angry. She glared at the man beside her and unconsciously clenched her fists.
Xiaowan thought as she took off the bracelet. Suddenly, someone screamed and looked up, to see that the Second Madam had actually stepped on empty air and fallen head first into the Baisha River.
The guards panicked and jumped into the water one by one to save her. When Second Madam was dragged up, he was so scared that his face turned pale and his body became miserable.
The Xiaowan was startled, but Ling Chaofeng did not move. He watched indifferently as the official ship left, and the pier immediately became quiet.
”Let's go.” Ling Chaofeng said, ”Return to the inn.”
However, Xiaowan suddenly ran towards the riverside. Ling Chaofeng frowned, but saw that she forcefully threw the jade bracelet into the Baisha River, patted his hands angrily, then ran back with an angry look on his face and said: ”Let's go.”
