The Xiaowan's eyes were sparkling, with some tears in her eyes, but she was happy when Ling Chaofeng kissed her. Her face was flushed red, adding to her tender skin, it made her look very lovable.

She asked, ”Shopkeeper, I've always wanted to ask, when the sun set that day, did you come by the river by chance, or did you just come looking for me?”

”I didn't mean that I wouldn't be able to forget it the first time I see you.” Ling Chaofeng smiled and asked Xiaowan, ”What do you think?”

”I want to hear it from the shopkeeper.”

”Manager?”

The Xiaowan said shyly, ”This one … ”I haven't married you yet.”

Ling Chaofeng laughed: ”Then that day on the mountain, what did you call me?”

Xiaowan was embarrassed, her body tensed up. So, he heard it?

”I don't know why either …” Xiaowan timidly wanted to explain, ”Innkeeper, please don't misunderstand me, I … I am …”

But how could he explain it to others? He couldn't help it, why was he unable to control himself, at that time Ling Chaofeng had still not confessed to her, did she really think that he was such a likeable person? Aren't you ashamed?

”I always feel like we've had this ride home before.” However, Ling Chaofeng opened his mouth and said gently and lovingly, ”I'm not unfamiliar with that 'hubby' you called me that day on the mountain. Late nights, perhaps fate has already decided us, don't you think? ”

”Shopkeeper …” The Xiaowan was moved. This man, even such a small matter was reluctant for her to not come down, so he didn't want her to feel awkward.

Ling Chaofeng lowered his head, gave Xiaowan a kiss on the cheek, and then lovingly said, ”I like listening to it. I was extremely happy that day and couldn't wait to confess to you. Late at night, when Uncle Biao goes to bring Aunt Zhang back, we will immediately get married. Tomorrow, Lord Liang will come and we will go to the yamen to register. ”

”Yes.” Xiaowan snuggled into his embrace and told him that the scars on her body looked scary, but today it didn't hurt anymore. Ling Chaofeng smiled deeply, ”Before we get married, it will definitely recover.”

was very happy, he wanted her to say it again. Xiaowan was not willing, he said that he definitely had to pay respects to her, and the two of them laughed as they returned home.

But now, in the capital, after Bi’s Mansion's servants confessed, the coroner opened the coffin and examined the bones, confirming that the original Mrs. Bi had died from poison.

According to the confessions of the servants, it was the same method as now, poisoning the teahouse that was originally made with Mrs. Bi every day. Gradually, they all treated it as Madam's illness and died in the end. Even the doctor who treated the Madam then was found and arrested. They were all accomplices.

However, the person who was directing them was undoubtedly the current Mrs. Bi.

Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi also went to the yamen. He said indifferently that he knew nothing about these things and asked them to investigate according to the law.

Thus, at the very moment he returned home, the official came with shackles and shackles to arrest him.

This time, she did not courteously ask Mrs. Bi to cooperate with his questioning, but had formally identified her as a suspect and brought her to a hall to be interrogated. If Mrs. Bi did not confess, then he would naturally have all sorts of forced confessions.

The dignified prime minister's wife, the dignified marquis' daughter, had lived in luxury all her life without a shred of hardship. Who would have thought that there would be a day when she would be shackled by a shackle?

She was led to the door by the official, and the shackles on her feet clanged against the floor, causing the servants in the house to tremble. They all fell to their knees, begging for their wives to be released.

But Mrs. Bi knew that they were only putting on an act. If she died and his husband married another woman, they would quickly forget that she existed in this house, just like how they quickly forgot about that woman.

After all, she couldn't even count on her own husband or her own son.

Her man only wished that she wasn't implicated, even if she had to immediately go to the guillotine, as long as she didn't drag him in. And her son was actually helping an outsider to capture a witness.

Her retribution was not an unforeseen event, nor was it something that had been snatched away by the industry. It was a betrayal of one's loved ones.

”Mother …” ”Mother …” Hanxi cried as she broke through the obstruction of the mama and threw herself at her mother, hugging her. ”I don't want you to go, Mother, I don't want you to go.”

”Little Xi...” The heavens had finally left her with one last bit of warmth, but it was a hopeless warmth. Her daughter was just a weak girl, what else could she do other than cry?

”Let's go!” The officials saw this scene too many times and did not care about whose tears it was. They urged the Mrs. Bi to immediately leave, forcefully pulling her away in front of everyone in the residence.

”Don't take my mother away, don't take my mother away …” Hanxi was stopped by a servant. She struggled desperately, but watched helplessly as her mother was dragged out.

When she finally broke free, she rushed out of the door, only to see her brother returning from outside. He also stopped her and said: ”Little Xi, if you continue to pester, you will only harm Mother.”

Bi Hanxi stared at his brother angrily, her entire body trembling, she suddenly slapped his brother's face, and said fiercely: ”You are not a son, Bi Zhenye, are you still human …”

Bi Zhenye hugged his little sister as her body spasmed. After days of emotional upheaval, her delicate body could no longer hold on and she fainted in his brother's embrace.
