C26 (1/2)

The atmosphere in the shop was extremely good. When the Xiaowan followed the Aunt Zhang to clean the guest rooms, they suddenly thought of the murders that happened one after another. It was as if a curse had been placed on this Cloud Lai room. It would never be safe for anyone to live inside it.

Aunt Zhang went downstairs to get a feather duster. When she came up, she saw Xiaowan staring blankly at the door plate, she smiled: ”Are you afraid?”

The Wan shook her head. ”I can't say. Aunt, I can't be as open as all of you. Even if you are a bad person in my eyes, it is still a life, not to mention a good person. But I know there is a rule in the inn, and I will catch up with you early and stop making such a fuss, and don't be afraid.

The Aunt Zhang gently said: ”It's your kind heart, and it's not like it's a fault.

While the two of them were cleaning the house, Aunt Zhang asked, ”Evening, now that I think about it, do you hate your stepmother? How much do you hate her? Don't you want revenge?”

”Revenge?” Xiaowan looked at him blankly.

”She beat you like that and mistreated you. Do you want to take revenge on her, or at least beat her up?”

”I …” Xiaowan thought about it seriously, and said, ”Aunt, it has been quite a while since I've decided to follow my husband. When you asked me, I realized that I have not thought about my father, nor about my stepmother, but only about my husband and all of you.”

The Aunt Zhang laughed leisurely, ”Is it because the shopkeeper wants more?”

Xiaowan blushed and said, ”It's true.”

Aunt Zhang asked, ”Then do you still hate him?”

Xiaowan nodded, her gaze dark: ”I actually forgot to mention it, but when I mention it, I still hate her. The only thing I can say is that I won't care about her no matter what. If I ask if she hates me or not, I hate her. I will never forgive her for mistreating me in my entire life. ”

After Ling Chaofeng came to Xiaowan and heard this sentence and half of it, he was naturally concerned: ”What's wrong?”

When Xiaowan saw his husband, his gaze softened. ”Nothing much, you're looking for us for something?”

Ling Chaofeng said: ”I just received a letter, the people I sent to find your father.”

”But …” Xiaowan no longer needed a father.

”He won't be able to come back until mid-autumn.” Ling Chaofeng said, ”When he comes back by boat, he will have to pass by the inn, do you want to invite him in?”

Xiaowan lowered her eyes: ”I'll listen to you, but, just don't let my father take me away, I'm not going anywhere.”

Aunt Zhang took her broom and brush and left quietly with a smile. Ling Chaofeng smiled, hugged Xiaowan and asked gently: ”Where can you go?

Xiaowan pouted and said, ”You always scare me so much that you want to break my legs again?”

Unlike when she was first here, young lady's eyes were filled with fear, or the stubbornness of someone willing to throw their lives away. Now, with a few points of pout, her gaze made people feel tender towards her, so she pouted slightly and said: ”Master, please don't scare me in the future, okay?”

Ling Chaofeng lightly tapped her lips: ”But what if I don't listen?”

Xiaowan muttered: ”Which one of you is not listening to me?”

Ling Chaofeng was annoyed: ”Who ran out early in the morning yesterday?”

hugged her and said: ”You won't be allowed to do it again in the future. You can do whatever you want, but you have to protect yourself well.

”Yes, yes.” The Xiaowan repeated her agreement and suddenly gave a start. She hurriedly left his husband to find the Aunt Zhang and muttered, ”Look at how you're messing with me, we still have work to do.”
