Seeing that the Xiaowan was still so determined towards his family, Ling Chaofeng felt that he should not say anymore, and said to her: ”Since that's the case, I will no longer ask about father-in-law and my family, but if you need me to do anything, there's no need to worry too much. We are husband and wife, we can discuss anything.”

”Husband, don't worry. I know it in my heart.” Xiaowan said, ”Right now, I am not afraid of anything, I am not worried about anything, I am wholeheartedly following you.”

”You're not running anymore?” Ling Chaofeng asked with a smile.

”Hmph, don't always bully me.” Seeing that he was bringing up that matter again, the young lady was dainty and extremely proud. ”When I become more powerful, you'll have it all.”

In the cold wind and the dark night, laughter rang out in the air. The carriage was originally traveling alone on the desolate road, but the two of them were in their own world, warming each other's hearts.

Xiaowan continued to mutter, ”Hubby, I still can't remember when I saw you and wasn't just playing with you.”

Ling Chaofeng laughed: ”Maybe you didn't see me. Next time, I'll bring you to visit, maybe I will remember.”

Xiaowan asked: ”Did you want to marry me because you found me attractive?”

Without hesitation, Ling Chaofeng replied, ”Or rather, it's destined to happen in the underworld. I asked the matchmaker if there's a girl like you in the vicinity, there really is one.”

”What if she marries someone who isn't who you're thinking of?” Xiaowan asked.

”I will treat you well too. It doesn't matter whether you are the girl by the river or not. What matters is that I marry you.” After Ling Chaofeng said this, he wrapped the clothes on his body tightly to protect her from the cold, ”Evening, if I had honestly come over to propose marriage myself, I wouldn't have made you suffer so much.”

With just a few sentences, young lady's heart was filled with passion. Her husband was so smart and powerful, but when he spoke of love words, she was mesmerized. She no longer wanted to think about whether or not she deserved it.

When the carriage arrived at the inn, Ershan was already waiting for them. Xiaowan tiptoed to put up the notice, and Uncle Biao and Aunt Zhang came out to look. When they saw each other, they smiled, and Xiaowan asked: ”General Chuanyu, are you from the same place as last time when you saw that lady?”

The Aunt Zhang said, ”The Chuanyu is big, they might not come from the same area.” She looked at the words on the notice and said to herself, ”A generation in the blink of an eye.”

Uncle Biao read it twice as well: ”He only said that he had established the empress, and not a concubine?”

Xiaowan hurriedly said, ”I know about this, there was no concubine in the palace in the past, and the founding emperor of our Daqi did not have a harem.”

Aunt Zhang pulled her in to avoid the wind and laughed: ”The previous generation is a special case, but in the future it will not be easy to say. If this generation can bear with it, it will not be easy.”

From their point of view, the imperial concubine Emperor and Empress Qiu's passing should be over by the time they die. They might even break this rule before they even pass away.

I wonder how much of her mother-in-law's charisma this new Empress Wei has.

As for the new empress's background, although the Xiaowan didn't understand, they knew that the young great general of Chuanyu was a well-known figure. There was the Shen Family Army to the north and the General Wei to the south, an existence that caused the hearts of the people to be at ease and the nation to be called the leader of the nation or an enemy that was trembling in fear.

After that, it was just as Ling Chaofeng had said. The imperial government had issued many policies to reduce taxes and other benefits to the citizens, so that the citizens of the entire country could bless the new ruler.

By the middle of October, it was already snowing in the capital. The Baisha River was a little to the south, and it was snowing all the way until November.

After waking up in the middle of the night, the back mountain of the front gate was a vast expanse of white world. When Xiaowan married, she had a snow-white fur in her closet, and now, she was wearing big fur clothes as she stood in the snow, blending with the snow behind him.

In the past, Xiaowan was most afraid of snow. Her clothes and shoes didn't avoid the cold, and when snow got wet, it would freeze on her body, so cold that her fingers and toes were about to break. Having grown so much, this was the first time she felt that snow was so fun and beautiful. With the beautiful scenery of the snow, she wandered around in the snow before Aunt Zhang called her back for breakfast.

Early in the morning, there were people heading to the dock to catch the boat. Since the winter road was not easy to traverse, they didn't need to worry about the money. Most of them would ride in donkey carriages to get there. In front of the Ling Xiao Inn door, Ershan had long since swept away the snow and thin ice. Although the people here kept saying that the Ling Xiao Inn was a hoodlum shop, once winter came, only this section of road in front of the inn that led to the dock was the easiest to walk on.

They would also heat a stove on the side of the road with a kettle on and a table at the side for passers-by to drink hot tea.

Naturally, those who had the courage to stop and drink tea were few and far between.

These days, the inn received a few guests one after another. They all ate and stayed for the next few days before leaving peacefully. It was not like when the Xiaowan had first entered, where there were thrilling events occurring one after another.

Xiaowan was very smart, she had long memorized the Three Character Classic and the Thousand Character Classic, and recognized even more words than before. The notice that was posted in front of the door was no longer difficult for her, even if she learned the accounting from Ling Chaofeng, her calculations would be very quick.

Gradually, she was able to handle everything in the inn, but no matter how spacious the inn was, it was still limited. After a while, she would inevitably feel bored.

These days, she was whispering to the Aunt Zhang, feeling restless and unsatisfied. This was not good.

Aunt Zhang laughed. ”This is the human heart, if there really is no desire, there is no difference between living and dying, right? You're still so young, you should be full of blood and liveliness. ”

It was also true that the Xiaowan did not covet gold and silver, but wanted to experience even more new things. When she first arrived, he was scared half to death by the grudge between the guests. Only now did she realize that the world was really very interesting. No wonder Hubby and his aunt were able to stay here for twelve years.

When they entered La Yue, Uncle Biao cooked two big pots of porridge, leaving Ling Chaofeng to look after the house. The rest of them rode in a carriage to the town, and under the bridge, they spread out the poor and beggars.

Not only was there porridge to drink, each person even received a hundred gold. As for those who wanted to cheat and eat, Uncle Biao stood at the side with his hands on his hips, staring daggers at them, not daring to go forward.
