C24 (1/2)

Xiaowan seemed to understand some of what was being said. Could it be that the strange thing that happened these few days was because of this ring?

”Remember, do not tell anyone else. It will not work if you tell them.”

Xiaowan's number one was thinking about Ling Chaofeng, and immediately asked: ”Even my husband can't say?”

Everything before her was so real that even her husband could not speak of it. Xiaowan could clearly see the wrinkles on her face, but she hurriedly left after reminding him that it was a secret that even her husband could not speak of.

”Granny, I still can't accept this ring.” Xiaowan wanted to give chase, but she tripped on Qu Fu who was tied up. Seeing that she was about to fall, she panicked and opened her eyes once again. It was actually a dream.

He sat up and realized that he had already returned to the tavern and was lying on his bed in her and Ling Chaofeng's room.

”Morning Wind …” Was it also a dream to find a husband? Was he not back yet?

Xiaowan got up from the bed and rushed to the door and opened it. Ling Chaofeng was just standing there with his hands raised, about to push open the door, when he saw her so anxious, he couldn't help but laugh: ”Are you afraid that I'm not there anymore?”

Xiaowan's heart dropped back to her stomach and she hugged the man. Ling Chaofeng smiled and brought her back to his room, admonishing her: ”At least wear a pair of shoes.”

”I'm not cold.” held Xiaowan's feet in his embrace, while her eyes stared at her husband and asked worriedly, ”Husband, is Second Master Feng okay?”

Ling Chaofeng nodded: ”I'm fine.”

Xiaowan remembered something as she said cautiously, ”The other day I heard Master Feng talking to himself, saying that his second brother died well. Husband, do you think …”

Ling Chaofeng shushed her and said gently: ”This matter is over, don't think about it anymore.”

After that, Xiaowan brought some hot water to cover Ling Chaofeng's face, and watched him shave with curved eyebrows. Ling Chaofeng splashed some water on her face and the two played for a while. Then, he and the rest of the merchants would return to the Baisha Town to take care of Second Master Feng's affairs.

The only thing left in the shop were a few reliable shop assistants, who were probably there to guard their goods. The goods were locked in the cellar of the tavern, with one key in Ling Chaofeng's hand and the other key in Boss Feng's own hands.

”It's very common for merchants to keep their goods in our stores.” The Aunt Zhang told the Xiaowan, ”The rumors of us stealing their money were naturally made up. They only saw the boxes being moved in, it is normal for them not to move them out.”

It was the first time that the Xiaowan had come to the cellar. Although she had burnt some paper money in front of the door with the Aunt Zhang, she had not noticed a door that led underground from the back of the stable.

”Wait until Boss Feng leaves, then get the shopkeeper to take you in and take a look.” The Aunt Zhang said mysteriously yet proudly, ”Evening, follow the shopkeeper and live a good life in peace.”

Xiaowan blushed and said guiltily: ”I went out myself this morning and made Aunt worried. I am truly sorry.”

Aunt Zhang laughed instead. ”Young man, how can you do without hot blood? Your aunt has also been young before.”

When she looked at the bride and saw her devoutly praying for the dead, she felt assured in her heart. The shopkeeper had never wanted to start a family, but after looking for her, he found a good girl for her.

After finishing her business at the shop, Xiaowan went back to her room to pack her stuff. She suddenly remembered her dream, and rubbed the ring on her right hand.

She still remembered what her mother-in-law had said. It was so clear that it didn't seem like a dream.

Thinking back, after the night of marriage, many incredible things had happened, not just the sheets that could fly and wash. Further up, that day she angrily hoped that Second Madam would fall off the pedals and he fell into the water in the blink of an eye. That night, when she wanted to blow on the oil lamp to extinguish it, it went out immediately.
