C72 (2/2)
After they busied themselves in the morning, the dark clouds drifted by and it was clear as day.
When she heard that Xiaowan had moved her mother's grave to the back of the mountain, Susu wanted to pay respects. When she saw that there was nothing wrong with the shop before noon, the two of them took some incense and paper money and went up the mountain.
They were all children that had no mother, and grew up with their stepmother. However, Susu had received love and care from the Auntie Chen like his own mother, so she did not have any feelings for his deceased biological mother. On the other hand, the Xiaowan was different.
After saying these words, the Xiaowan could not help but have red circles under her eyes. Susu advised: ”Now that you have such a good home, it is all thanks to you.
Standing on the back mountain, they could look down at the Ling Xiao Inn and see the pyre and well at the back door. That day, Xiaowan was busy at the well, so she and her mother hid beside the pyre. They wanted to wait for Xiaowan to go in and drink a few mouthfuls of water from the basin.
”It's been so long in the blink of an eye. It seems like it's still the same thing as yesterday.” Susu said, sighing with emotion, ”Xiaowan, are you the reincarnation of Guan Yin, the Bodhisattva?”
Xiaowan laughed, thinking of sher Jade Ring, he then said to herself: ”If I really know magic, it would be great.”
Speaking of her Jade Ring, the most contradictory thing she had done the past few days was to heal her leg for Miss Lian Yi. However, if it went well overnight, the people from the Meng family would be confused, even Lian Yi himself would be baffled.
Thus, she could only make a wish for Lian Yi to experience less pain and then see her every now and then.
After that, throughout the entire day, there were no more guests in the inn, so Susu was not surprised, because Xiaowan had already explained everything clearly to her, and Susu also knew that the Ling Xiao Inn was a hoodlum shop, so the local citizens definitely would not come.
In the blink of an eye, three months had passed. At the beginning of April, Ling Chaofeng had secretly informed the Xiaowan that the Emperor and Empress had successfully returned to the capital.
The Xiaowan was naturally happy, that day when they followed Susu to the town to buy vegetables, they pulled Susu to the city's god temple to pray for their blessings. laughed at her again. really didn't think this way, whether or not she wanted to be a baby. She hoped that the Empress and the Emperor would love each other forever.
When they were waiting for the Uncle Biao outside the temple to come and fetch them, there was someone by their side who was holding a baby doll and crying loudly. Everyone gave a gentle and blissful look and wished that the child would grow up healthy and safe. The Xiaowan looked at him and said softly, ”Don't be greedy, just give birth to yourself.”
Xiaowan blushed and shook his head.
She knew that her husband had said that she was still young and needed to wait, but she really liked little babies. He just wanted to give her a child as soon as possible.
When Uncle Biao came to pick them up, he saw that the yamen's people were beating gongs and drums on the streets. The original Zhixian, Lord Liang, was promoted to the Li Prefecture Department.
When he returned to the tavern, he told Ling Chaofeng that the new county magistrate had already known about it. He said that the new county magistrate was the nephew of the neighboring prefecture magistrate, and that this official had donated the money to him.
As Baisha County was not a political fortress or an economic agricultural land, the upper management would not care about it. To Ling Chaofeng, it was fine as long as he was a ”obedient” person.
Naturally, he would not say these words to Susu.
Closing the door, the couple started to discuss. Xiaowan said: ”There's still Lord Liang up there anyways, we will definitely give him some pointers. Let's not ask him to come and cause trouble for us.”
Ling Chaofeng laughed: ”If he is a fool, I do not wish for him to know our secret, I have already informed Master Liang about it, there is no need to speak about it too clearly, if it is really inappropriate, we can just drive him away sooner or later.”
It was at this moment that Susu shouted from downstairs, ”Innkeeper, a guest has arrived.”
The two guests who had suddenly arrived came by boat from outside the city. According to their accent, they were from the southwest. No one in the restaurant could understand what they were talking about. It was only after they had spoken official language that they knew to stay at the restaurant.
Susu informed them about the living quarters's price and they were greatly shocked. They looked up and down the entire inn and finally gritted their teeth and stayed in a room to the north.
In order to save money, they didn't eat in the restaurant. After putting down their luggage, they left. At night, when they were waiting for the Uncle Biao to send Susu home, they finally returned with a few steamed buns. They only needed a few mouthfuls of water before they went upstairs.
There was a rule in the inn that regardless of the customers' business, after Xiaowan married into the Xiaowan, the big and small Heavenly Family did not stop them. However, this time, two or three days had passed, and the two of them almost could not get out early or come back late, they did not care even if they wanted to.
Xiaowan woke up early today, and coincidentally met Susu. Seeing that Susu was looking around while she was walking, she went up to him and asked: ”What's the matter, are there any bad people on the road?”
Susu shook her head and laughed: ”That's the person who almost goes out with me every day, I didn't see him today. Although he scared me half to death on the first day, and later, got used to it, meeting him on the road once a day, I am very at ease.
The Xiaowan asked: ”Those two from the north room went out again. Did you see them on the way?”
Susu said: ”No, I only saw the cart carrying goods twice on the way, I did not see the two guests.”
