Ling Chaofeng turned around, but he heard Xiaowan continue: ”But as long as I can help others, I will still do my best to help. It's just that I won't resent others for not coming to help me, so at the same time, when I'm unwilling, no one will force me. ”My husband said that he only wants me to live for my own good.”

Ling Chaofeng was very pleased as he stared at the back of the Xiaowan with a smile. He felt that giving her all the good things in the world wasn't enough. Xiao Yun did not expect that just from a glance outside the Qingling Village that day that fate had sealed it for him, even though this fellow did not remember that they had met before.

Suddenly, a strange feeling flitted across Ling Chaofeng's mind. It was as if it was the same feeling he had felt before, but this feeling disappeared in an instant. It would not let him think about it further, only when it passed would he be moved by something.

That day, when it was deep into the night, Susu and her mother had already lied down to rest. They slept on the same bed as the other maids, they were usually kind and harmonious, but it was not convenient for them to talk about secrets.

At this moment, Auntie Chen was telling her in a very soft voice about Yue Huaiyin throwing the snacks out. Susu's heart tensed up, she crawled up and looked at the people around him.

The next day, when the servant brought hot water for Yue Huaiyin to wash up, she found out that she had been sitting on the chair beside the window the whole night. The spring night was still cold, and her body was curled up into a ball.

And today, Xiaowan was going to visit Lian Yi at the Li Prefecture, he followed Ling Chaofeng in the carriage and passed by the Baisha Town, and coincidentally met a doctor who was familiar with the inn and was invited to the Siyun Pavilion.

Xiaowan replied blandly, Ling Chaofeng did not bring it up again, and quickly rushed to the Li Prefecture.

After receiving the emperor's decree, the Meng family could stay in the residence forever. However, without the Prefect Meng's salary, they could not afford to raise so many servants.

Mrs. Meng chased away his ex-husband's concubine and dismissed his servant girl. However, he couldn't open his sources of income and it wouldn't be a long term plan either.

Fortunately Lian Yi did not feel wronged, she looked better, and was happy to see the Xiaowan, but her legs were broken and she had to take care of it until summer.

”It's good that I can send him to the capital in time. Even if I have to limp, I still have to go.” The current Meng Lianyi's eyes were filled with hope and expectation. Her cheeks were slightly red as she said shyly, ”This time, I will send him to the capital in an honorable manner to take the exam.”

”Ershan has been working hard recently, and will definitely be able to pass the examination.” He wanted to help Lian Yi out, but he was worried that it would hurt her pride. So he decided to put this matter aside first and wait for her legs to heal first.

Xiaowan sat for a long time, and just as she was about to go back, Mrs. Meng came over.

Lian Yi told her that his mother and brother treated her like a Buddha, because as long as she was there, there would be hope for the future of the family. Although they were still using her, not really caring about her, Lian Yi didn't care.

As for Xiaowan visiting Lian Yi, Ling Chaofeng was busy with his own matters. He had agreed to wait outside the Meng manor at the agreed time, but his husband had already arrived. He picked her up and carried her onto the carriage.

When they were far away, she tugged on Ling Chaofeng's sleeve and said, ”Husband, don't joke with me. I don't know what happened, but seeing such a person with such a face, such as how Mrs. Meng was so courteous just now, I, I …”

”What?” Ling Chaofeng laughed and asked, ”Are you afraid?”

”It's not fear, it's just …” Xiaowan said, ”I keep having the feeling that when they look at me, they are hoping that I will take out a silver ingot to give them. People like Mrs. Meng, those from the Qingling Village, are all thinking about my money.”

”Your money?” Ling Chaofeng purposely smiled at her.

”Our money is ready.” Seeing that her husband was still teasing her, the Xiaowan anxiously said, ”I'm serious, I'm serious.”

Ling Chaofeng disapprovingly said: ”As long as they don't open their mouths, all of this is just your imagination. ”Of course, you can start preparing it in your heart. If something like that happens, how should you deal with it? But after you finish, stop disturbing yourself.”

The Xiaowan asked: ”Was it because in the past, I myself was always anxious for someone else's help and assistance, and was afraid of hardship, that I became like this?”

Ling Chaofeng felt his heart ache, as he pulled his into his embrace and said: ”It's because you're too kind, that's all.”

Coincidentally, Susu saw the guest to the door. Seeing Manager Ling driving the carriage, he seemed to have told the Xiaowan, who had obviously just met yesterday, to open the curtain and reveal her face. Today, she was still very happy.

”Our young lady is sick and has a very high fever.” said, ”Originally, I had some things that I wanted to tell you, but I really couldn't leave today. Xiaowan, I will rest the day after tomorrow, and by that time, Miss will have had a fever.

”Alright, the day after tomorrow, I'll ask my uncle to come and pick you up.” The Xiaowan asked worriedly, ”What is it? Is it too late to delay it until then?”

Susu nodded her head, she looked towards the back of the shop, and at the moment, it was not a good place to talk, she could only laugh: ”You guys can go back, I'll come to find you at the inn the day after tomorrow.”

In Rouge Shop, Yue Huaiyin was truly sick, but in Susu's eyes, she had been depressed ever since New Year's. It was as if there was nothing new in the shop that deserved her happiness, and she did not care too much about doing business. She did not seem to be lacking in this small amount of money, so no one knew why she was unhappy.
