Xiaowan carried his son from her husband's embrace and told him to sit properly on the bed. She said solemnly: ”Little Pei, Mother will not care where you came from, and will not care whether you are human or a dragon. From today onwards, you will be our son. But so many things have happened, father and mother both do not know what will happen in the future, but we will love you and protect you. ”
Ling Pei nodded his head vigorously, about to entangle him and act coquettishly, but Xiaowan ordered him to sit properly with a stern expression. The little guy had his hands behind his back, and didn't dare disobey.
Ling Chaofeng looked at Xiaowan in shock. A girl was her mother, this was her natural instinct, even though she herself was still so young.
Xiaowan continued, ”Although you can't say it, but Father, Mother, and Grandfather can see that you are different from the other children. They all know that you have the power to transcend the heavens. If no one comes to hurt you or hurt us, when we meet others in the future, you can't casually use your ability to bully others. Do you understand?
Little Pei nodded his head, the pair of horns on his head swaying, his fleshy face showing a serious expression, was extremely adorable.
Xiaowan asked: ”Do you really remember? If you don't listen to these pranks and bully people, mother will beat you up. Even if I can't beat you, I will still beat you up.”
Ling Chaofeng could not hold back his laughter, being stared at by the Xiaowan, he immediately stopped smiling.
Little Pei crawled up to her and snuggled into her embrace, tenderly wanting her mother to pat him to coax him to sleep.
He was really young. He could act like a spoiled child and be mischievous, make Ling Chaofeng angry, make Xiaowan happy, and make Uncle Biao smile. He was everyone's precious baby.
The large ship floated slowly on the river, laughter could be heard. If the years were peaceful and beautiful, even if she had to wander around for a lifetime, the Xiaowan would be happy and happy.
In the blink of an eye, several days had passed. In the latter part of February, spring gradually returned to the earth.
On the Baisha Town, the citizens were busy repairing the houses, reopening the shops, and the days had to start anew.
The county magistrate had suffered from a serious illness and had not yet recovered.
At this moment, the master told him that Yue Huaiyin had died, her Rouge Shop had been burnt to a crisp, and the servants had all dispersed. Now, he could not find the land deed and no one was to take it over.
The Grand Master asked, ”This house has to be taken back by the yamen. It can be used for public use, or it can be resold. The money it sells is naturally also from the imperial court. Master, what do you think should be done? ”
The county magistrate was sickly as he lazily said, ”Whatever you want to do, just do it according to the rules. Pitiful and frail looking, ah …”
But at this moment, a Fast Catcher of the yamen hurriedly ran over and reported: ”Master, great general Chuanyu has led the troops past the Li Prefecture and is currently heading towards the Baisha Town. Do you want to go welcome him?”
”General Wei?” The county magistrate sat up, feeling dizzy as he struggled to speak. ”Go greet them …”
However, the county magistrate rushed over with his sick body, only to see a thousand people neatly stopping outside the Li Prefecture, with no sign of Wei Tengfei at all.
When the county magistrate met with the other counties, he had long spread the news of the recent events. Fortunately, the place was empty now, and the county magistrate had said that he would send someone to take down the Ling Xiao Inn in a few days.
But at that moment, Wei Tengfei brought a few people and rode through Baisha Town. It was strange that the small town which was so rich and peaceful would suddenly become so desolate, and he felt uneasy in his heart. He immediately spurred his horse to go towards the direction of Baisha River.
When they arrived at Ling Xiao Inn, they saw from far away that the signboard was broken and crooked. A young woman was standing below and a man was leaning on a ladder, about to take the signboard off.
But they were not Ling Chaofeng, nor were they Mu Xiaowan.
”What happened?” Wei Tengfei looked imposing as he walked over. When Susu and Da Qing felt uneasy, they jumped down from the ladder and protected their wife behind them.
”Where are the people here? And Ling Chaofeng, where's his wife? ” Wei Tengfei asked again, then rushed into the tavern, it was completely empty, it was obviously destroyed by a robbery, and there was not a single person inside.
”Are you a friend of our manager?” Susu and Da Qing came in, she bravely asked, ”Do you know Manager Ling?”
Wei Tengfei's starry eyes were deep as he said, ”We are friends. What happened here, why did it become like this, where did they go? ”
Susu said tearfully: ”Just a few days ago, the people from the town said that the Xiaowan was a monster that wanted to burn her to death. The shopkeeper rushed over to save her, set the town on fire, and even killed someone. The people in the town fought over the items here until they were smashed into pieces, and then became what they are now. ”
”Xiaowan? ”Monster?” Wei Tengfei was already infuriated, her sword-like eyebrows knitted together, ”On what basis are they?”
Susu cried, ”In our county, last year's La Moon Blizzard and floods happened one after another. The county magistrate invited the Goddess to do it, saying that the Xiaowan is the cause of disaster … ”Wha … wha …”
Wei Tengfei clenched his fists tightly, trying his best to calm himself down, and asked: ”Then who are you?”
Susu said: ”I am a shop assistant in the shop, and also a sister of the Xiaowan. This is my husband, we want to slowly fix the inn and wait for them here. Xiaowan said that she would not separate from me, and she even said that she would tie the knot with me. ”
”Child marriage?” Wei Tengfei asked, ”Does she have a child?”
