Xiaowan never thought that the good news that Hubby would bring would actually be the empress getting pregnant. Furthermore, the Queen had personally written a letter to ask Ling Chaofeng to pass the message on his behalf. This joyous event was not known to the rest of the world, and would only be announced to the world after the birth of the child safely.

This made Xiaowan extremely happy, and what was even more unexpected was that the dignified mother of a nation actually treated her, a young lady from the countryside, as her close friend. She had traveled a thousand miles to tell her that she could not even tell the world about this joyous event.

A few days after that, Xiaowan made a wish to the Jade Ring every day, protected the Queen and her son safely, and then went to the City God Temple with Susu to pray for blessings.

Susu naturally did not know that the inn had once received the current emperor and empress, and upon seeing the Xiaowan willing to settle down, she only thought that the Xiaowan hoped that she and the Manager Ling would get your son soon. Thus, she made up her mind and decided to return to the tavern as soon as possible, so that Xiaowan would not have to work too hard.

When they returned to the village, they had to pass through Siyun Pavilion s, and the store was still closed when they arrived. Currently, it was already open, and a faint fragrance spread out from the shop, but it had attracted countless women from the Baisha Town s to take a look at the fresh Rouge Shop s.

They walked along the opposite side of the street. Originally, they were walking along the way, and did not intend to avoid the Siyun Pavilion, but unfortunately, they heard the employees of the grocery store discussing with each other, ”Did you hear? The county magistrate is currently raising that woman.”

Another person said: ”I already knew that. Otherwise, those Fast Catcher would have settled the matter for her.”

The one who had spoken just now said, ”She really is a trash from a brothel, no wonder she is so monstrous when she walks. That day, she was beaten up until she was wounded all over, and even the feather duster was broken. How could she possibly recover well in a few days? If she can't, how did she serve the county magistrate?”

After walking a distance, Susu could not help but ask: ”The town is already so big, we can't even see them from the back of our heads. Xiaowan, can we really pretend that such a thing did not happen?”

Xiaowan thought for a moment, ”Hubby said, if she doesn't offend me then I won't offend her, there's no need to hide from her, so there's no need to be afraid of her. Susu, don't worry. If you don't wait for her to make a move, Hubby will definitely take care of her. ”

”Of course, I don't worry. I still want to return to the inn to work tomorrow.” Susu said.

”No rush, rest well, there's not much business in the inn.” Xiaowan was concerned about this while laughing slyly, ”Of course, if you really want to sit on Da Qing's cart, it won't be good for me to stop you.”

Susu said anxiously: ”You are getting worse and worse, when shopkeeper comes to pick you up at night, you must be well regulated.”

Xiaowan disdainfully said: ”I'm not afraid of him. He's afraid of me.”

Susu laughed: ”Forget it, once I see the shopkeeper, I will submit. I am extremely obedient, I don't know who it is.”

As they walked past the town entrance, they saw two people setting up stalls. They thought they were here to sell groceries, but when they got closer, they realized they were here to pick up goods.

It was said that 500 years ago, there were nobles who built a palace here. After a landslide, the palace was buried in the mountains, and recently, someone had dug out from the mountains the precious treasures inside the palace's vessels, which were all valuable antiques.

Right now, they were going to ask the local citizens to collect them and see who had picked up or dug up anything. After they appraised them, they would definitely collect them at a high price.

Xiaowan and Susu looked at each other, and then thought about the two guests who stayed at their inn previously. They would always leave early and return late, but Susu had never seen them on the road before.

After that, they returned to the Baisha Village. Not long after, a few aunties came over, saying that there was a person here to collect antiques and they didn't know what antiques were. However, the one at the village entrance that got pickled vegetables actually got five taels of silver.

”Susu's mother, your tiled house is also very old, go ahead and check if there are any strange things. If you show it to those people, they might be able to exchange it for a lot of silver.” The women of the village were all very excited, each of them going home to look around.

Auntie Chen said that the house belongs to Manager Ling, so even if there were treasures, they should not have them.

At night, Ling Chaofeng came to pick up Xiaowan. Da Qing also returned, he had recently gotten a mule cart, so he was no longer toiling on pulling boats. He would go back and forth to deliver some goods to the customers every day, giving them more money than being a gigolo.

As for the cushions and cloth shoes that Susu made for him, he was reluctant to wear them. He also cherished the use of the cloth shoes and refused to let the merchants sit on them.

When Susu heard this, she weakly replied, ”I'll cook for you a few more times.

Sitting under the roof, the Auntie Chen shared the melon with everyone. Da Qing was not willing to eat it, he said that the melon was very rare, and wanted to bring it back for his mother to taste, so Susu pushed the two pieces over, lowering her head without saying a word.

After being rebuked by Ling Chaofeng, she gave a dry cough and said in a serious tone, ”From tomorrow onwards, you will need Da Qing to take care of Susu and we will pay for it. From now on, you can also be considered to be part of our Ling Xiao Inn.”

Da Qing and Susu looked at each other, and Susu's face was so red that it reached her ears, she nodded, and Da Qing said: ”I don't dare to take the money, shopkeeper give me the mule and cart, the money I've earned recently, is even more than what I earned by pulling a boat for two months.”

Xiaowan said: ”Of course I need to earn more money to be able to get married.”

Da Qing stuttered, scratched his head and said: ”Yes, yes.”

Susu's face was completely red, she said that she would get everyone water, then turned and ran.

Ling Chaofeng whispered into his wife's ears: ”You are not allowed to bully Susu, is it your ability?”

Xiaowan chuckled. ”I didn't say anything.”

She had said to Xiaowan that she had her eyes on Da Qing too, it was just that Susu had married before, even if Da Qing's family was poor, she would not allow them to be particular about him.

On the way back, Xiaowan chattered incessantly to Hubby, ”Susu has always been keeping his promise, and anyone who sees can understand why. If Da Qing is afraid, he would not interact with us. Furthermore, after such an incident occurred, not only did he not mind it, he even came to take care of it, telling me who it was that they met on the road the other day. ”

Ling Chaofeng listened to her blabbering on and on, but only smiled and did not speak. He thought to himself that if he could save this trip, this young lady would be proud for life.
