C24 (2/2)

Although it was just a small matter, it was too much of a coincidence.

Looking around the marriage chamber, Xiaowan wanted to find something to give it a try. It didn't matter if it was weak, if it was intelligent … Her gaze landed on the Lovers Terrace, which was embroidered with mandarin ducks and ducks, as well as graceful butterflies. It was almost mid-autumn, and no butterflies could be seen anywhere, so Xiaowan followed her mother-in-law's instructions and lightly clenched her fists.

The colorful butterflies surrounded her. Xiaowan opened her eyes in shock, timidly extended her finger, and a butterfly stopped at her fingertip, gently flapping its wings, showing no sign of being afraid of anyone.

”Evening!” Outside, Aunt Zhang suddenly called out to her.

”I'm here …” Xiaowan replied. In an instant, all the butterflies disappeared.

After dealing with Aunt Zhang, she went back to her room and looked at the butterfly on the cloth. She remembered that her mother-in-law had said in her dreams that there could only be one wish a day.

Sitting on the bed, Xiaowan's heart was thumping hard. It was true, the things in her dreams were actually true.

But as she calmed down, thinking back to last night when Ling Chaofeng was taken away by the yamen, she felt as if someone had dug away a part of his heart in pain, so she secretly made up her mind.

After the marriage, she no longer suffered, she ate well and dressed warmly, she lived in a spacious and clean house, someone who cared for her and loved her appeared at her side. God gave her all the good things in the world at once, how could she be capable of that?

Perhaps this ring was a test from the heavens, and one shouldn't be too greedy.

Thinking this way, Xiaowan became at ease. She touched the ring and whispered, ”If you are truly intelligent, then I will protect my husband and you well. I will be satisfied with the rest.”

She got up and knelt in front of the window. She kowtowed to the heavens and said something to thank the heavens.

That night, Ling Chaofeng still did not return, but the Ershan that followed him, brought a message with him. He was going to watch the night with his brother with Boss Feng, so Xiaowan was relieved.

As for Second Master Feng's funeral, it was arranged on the spot. After it was cremated, it would be sent back to the capital. Two to three days later, the whole town would be in an uproar.

Early that morning, in the Siyun Pavilion of the new rouge shop in town, the servant Little Cui hurriedly ran back and curiously told her young miss, ”That day, at the inn we went to, it was a black shop. Miss, their shop specializes in killing people and robbing their goods. A few days ago, another person died, but fortunately, we did not stay for long. ”

Yue Huaiyin was quietly mixing the powder in her hands. Hearing Little Cui's chattering, she could not help but have a headache as she said: ”Alright, what haven't I seen before? I'm just making a big fuss, why don't we go watch the business?”

Little Cui laughed: ”It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, there's a market in the Mid-Autumn Festival, at that time, all the women from the eight villages will come. Young miss, on that day, we will be earning a lot of money. I went to a few rouge shops in town and walked around. It was very cold and there weren't even any boxes of proper powder. ”

Huai Yin sniffed the newly made scented powder and passed it to Little Cui, and laughed: ”Do you smell good? ”I plan to put it in a small box and take it to the ladies on the street on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.”

On the same day, Second Master Feng's back affairs were settled. Boss Feng followed Ling Chaofeng and rushed back to Ling Xiao Inn, delaying their return to the capital.

The Aunt Zhang said that it was rare for them to open the cellar and let the Xiaowan take a look. However, just as she reached the door, she heard Boss Feng speak.

She turned around to leave, but he heard Boss Feng say: ”Manager Ling, thank you for this matter. Only by staying with you will I be able to take action. That beast deserved to die. If I kill him, I'll be safe. ”Leave this box of stuff here as a thank you gift.”

Xiaowan's heart suddenly tightened and two men slowly walked out. Seeing her here, they were also startled and Boss Feng frowned: ”Manager Ling? ”What's going on?”

Ling Chaofeng quickly replied: ”It's fine, Boss Feng only wants to go to the capital. As for Second Elder, we will end it here.”

As he spoke, he invited Boss Feng to move forward. Walking past Xiaowan, he coldly glared at her and said softly: ”Stand still and don't move. Wait for me to come back.”
