C15 (2/2)

After this wave, more and more people came to buy buns. Before noon, the five boxes of buns had all been sold out.

The Uncle Biao said, ”You guys go back first, I'll go drink some tea and listen to the book twice.”

The Aunt Zhang was displeased: ”Tea or wine? ”If you want me to smell alcohol when you come back, it'll be even better than that!”

Uncle Biao laughed as he sent her wife and Xiaowan to the carriage. He repeatedly reminded Ershan to be careful when driving the carriage before he parted ways with them.

The carriage passed by the street, Aunt Zhang saw someone selling candied fruits, so she made Ershan stop the carriage. She bought a bunch of candied fruits from the window, which Xiaowan happily received and gave to her aunt to eat first.

The horse carriage left. A middle-aged woman wearing a coarse robe walked over and asked the person selling the candied fruits, ”Where did this horse carriage come from?”

That person said, ”Did you not see the lantern hanging in front of the carriage? Did you hear about the famous Ling Xiao Inn? The lady of Lord Sun who came to the capital died in their shop. ”

Xiaowan ate a sweet gourd as she watched Aunt Zhang count the money. She remembered the rumours she heard from the village women while she was being tied up in the woodshed, and asked Aunt Zhang why they ran to the town to sell buns at the tavern.

Aunt Zhang laughed: ”Every time you receive an esteemed guest, there will always be a lot of leftover ingredients. We can't finish them all either, so we'll just leave the leftovers here to rot. Your Uncle Biao will chop all these ingredients into filling buns to sell.”

That said, Xiaowan felt that it made sense. That day, she saw Uncle Biao carrying half a plate of fat pigs, so she asked: ”We all came out, and Uncle Biao is not here, what if there are customers in the shop?”

The Aunt Zhang looked at her and laughed deeply. In fact, the Xiaowan herself knew the answer, there was no business in the inn.

When they returned to the inn, she had been sitting in the shop for most of the day. When the sun set, Uncle Biao wobbled back to the inn, but there wasn't even a shadow of a customer in the shop.

Xiaowan shook her head. This was not something she should worry about. After dinner, she took the initiative to go to the well and wash the dishes. Now, she dared to unceremoniously roll up her sleeves, unwilling to let such good materials soak in the water.

Just as he was fetching a bucket of water, he suddenly saw a woman walking towards him. Borrowing the light from the back door, with a clang sound, the bucket fell and the Xiaowan opened his eyes wide.

Her voice trembled as she asked, ”Se-Mrs. Sun?”

The night was dark, Ershan closed the shop door, bolted the door, and checked every inch of the place with a lantern. Lifting his head, he saw a shadow of a bride walking past on the third floor, heading towards the shopkeeper's house.

Xiaowan carried Ling Chaofeng's clothes and washed them neatly. After hesitating for a long time, she still knocked on the door.

”Come in.” Ling Chaofeng said from inside the house.

”I'm coming in.” When he opened the door, he found that the room was actually the same as their ”wedding room”. The only difference was that there were no red and happy words written on the bed, and the room was neat and tidy. Ling Chaofeng was currently sitting in front of his desk, looking at her expressionlessly.

”My clothes are all washed. I'll leave them here.” Xiaowan put down her clothes. Seeing that Ling Chaofeng was still writing with her head down, she wanted to leave, but after thinking for a moment, he turned back and lowered her head as he softly said, ”Manager Ling, I am sorry. I have wronged you.”

It turned out that Mrs. Sun did indeed want to poison Second Madam to death. At that time, the souphee cooked did not have any poison, but the soup he cooked had poison on it. When she gave it to Second Madam, she wanted it to kill her, including the red bean soup in the afternoon.

However, when she saw the Second Madam bringing the soup back to her, she felt that this was fate.

Ling Chaofeng had long since sensed the Mrs. Sun's murderous intent. No matter if it was to kill the Second Madam or himself, the poison had been lost, and although the appearance of someone spitting blood and fainting was extremely terrifying, it was not life-threatening. The doctor that was invited, was naturally also Ling Chaofeng's person. The doctor was not going to treat Mrs. Sun, but to ask her, if she wanted to live or die.

The Mrs. Sun said to the Xiaowan: ”Grief is greater than death. Evening, I don't want to live with that man anymore. However, the head storekeeper said that it was not worth dying for them. Since I have already died once, I am free now. ”

There were some words that the Xiaowan could not understand, but after Ling Chaofeng brought his men over, they took the carriage and brought the Mrs. Sun away.

No matter what, she knew that she had wronged someone.

At this moment, Ling Chaofeng did not make a sound, but continued writing by himself. After he was done, he slowly put the letter away and stuffed it into an envelope before saying, ”I will write and send someone to look for your father. If everything goes well, your father will be able to come by around the fifteenth of the eighth month. Of course, if we can't find it, then we have to find something else. ”

Xiaowan's heart was inexplicably empty. She looked at Ling Chaofeng with sorrow, her red lips slightly trembling: ”My father will not care about me, look for him … … ”It's useless. I just have no other choice, that's why I said that.”

Ling Chaofeng stood up and walked in front of her: ”Then what do you want to do?”

Xiaowan held her hands together, her left hand held onto the Jade Ring on the ring finger of her right hand tightly, her head drooped down until it was almost buried in her clothes, she said: ”Manager Ling, can you keep me here, I'll work for the shop, I don't need to take money, I don't need to live in such a good house, don't need to wear such good clothes, as long as there is a place to sleep, I can eat.”

Ling Chaofeng lifted her chin, and then raised his other hand, revealing the teeth marks on his wrist: ”You even bit me.”

Xiaowan muttered, ”I'm sorry …”

Ling Chaofeng said: ”Then let me bite back.”
