C49 (2/2)

The next day, Xiaowan waited outside the shop with a bag in her arms. There was a boat at the dock in the afternoon, if father didn't come now, she would wait for him tomorrow, but coincidentally, Master Mu was riding on this boat today.

As the father and daughter met, Ling Chaofeng also greeted them from the side. He wanted them to be able to speak alone, so he took a carriage and prepared to personally send his father-in-law to the pier.

Master Mu said to Xiaowan: ”It's been a few more months since we last met. Your complexion is getting better and you have grown taller.”

The Xiaowan said, ”We ate well in the tavern. We had big fish and big meat everyday.” She looked at her father and asked, ”Has father been well this year? I know that you must be hoping for me to return and take a look at you, but now that I'm married, I don't want to go back. I didn't even live a good day in Qingling Village, and even though I miss you, there isn't anything that's worthy for me to stay for. ”

”I'm fine.” Master Mu laughed. ”She doesn't dare to mess with me, if she leaves me then who would she rely on? Forget it, it's all in the past now. Xiao'er, follow the Manager Ling well and give birth to a big fat kid as soon as possible. ”

Xiaowan laughed: ”Take care of yourself, don't think about me.”

After that, Ling Chaofeng brought the carriage over and helped her father into the carriage. Xiaowan placed the things she prepared for father onto the carriage, and stuffed a large bag of copper coins into her father's arms, saying that silver was not easy to use, and that copper coins were more convenient. She reminded him to take care of her, so she did not follow, and only sent Ling Chaofeng to deliver it.

She stood at the side of the road and watched as her father left. Aunt Zhang came out and gently said, ”Don't worry, your father will take good care of himself.”

The Xiaowan replied, ”I'm not worried about anything. I'm used to him travelling far away like this in the past, but actually, it's not possible to hope for his return. The Queen Mother is still hitting me, so he pretended not to see her. However, at least he did not beat me. Even if the stepmother was anxious to jump up and down, he would not do anything to me. I know this in my heart. ”

Aunt Zhang sighed, ”Every family has its share of problems. That day when Master Meng slapped his daughter to the point where her face became distorted, could it be that he is already a father?”

The Xiaowan said worriedly: ”I wonder how Miss Meng is doing now. I hope she doesn't get beaten up. I'd rather she continued to be a thief in town. ”

They entered the house and wiped off the chairs on the table. There was a chance that guests would come over to eat dinner when it was dark, so Uncle Biao came over to ask them what they wanted to eat for dinner. After that he went to look for Ershan.

Xiaowan and Aunt Zhang both shook their heads. ”He's not studying in his room?”

Everyone headed to the backyard, inside Ershan's house, there were piles of books piled up on the brick bed. It didn't look weird, but they had all disappeared, and had already put on his winter boots.

”Where did the child go? When did he leave?” The Aunt Zhang muttered, ”He would greet the shopkeeper everyday when he goes out. What's wrong with him today? Did he only tell the shopkeeper about it?”

An hour later, he finally managed to bring Ling Chaofeng back. Xiaowan ran over and asked, ”Husband, do you know where Ershan has gone to?”

Ling Chaofeng said indifferently: ”One of the horses is missing from the stable. I had thought that he had gone to ride his horse, looks like he really went out.”

Xiaowan asked, ”Where will he go?”

Ling Chaofeng frowned slightly, and became a little angry: ”If he's dizzy, then let him be. Since you're asking for it, you can take it. ”

Xiaowan didn't really understand, but she knew that her husband was angry, and after that, Aunt Zhang and him didn't mention anything anymore, as if they had a tacit understanding. It was only when they were bathing that Aunt Zhang whispered to her, ”That foolish brat might have gone to find Miss Meng.”

Xiaowan was surprised: ”Ershan? Go to Miss Meng? ”

Aunt Zhang laughed leisurely and asked her: ”You didn't see anything?”

”See what?”

”Can't you see the love in the eyes of others when you and the shopkeeper are intimate with each other all day?” Aunt Zhang laughed, ”Silly girl, your Little Big Brother Ershan has fallen for the mortal world.”

Xiaowan finally understood and asked excitedly: ”Ershan has set his eyes on Miss Meng?”

She was originally a little happy, but since Ling Chaofeng was still angry, she could only obediently stay by his side, not daring to make a move. Otherwise, even she would be scolded, and the two of them would sleep in each other's arms.

Ling Chaofeng said coldly: ”Sleep.”

That night, Xiaowan had many strange dreams, and the next morning, the inn's door was knocked. Hearing the Constable Li's voice, he shouted loudly: ”Manager Ling, open the door.”

When they came down to open the door while wearing their clothes, it was usually Ershan who did it. Since he was not here today, Ling Chaofeng could only do it himself.

Xiaowan hid behind his husband, and only heard him say: ”Quickly go to the prefectural yamen, your family's Ershan has been captured. We beat him up last night, but he still needs to be beaten up today.
