However, she told the Xiaowan that she had personally witnessed the Martial Arts Sect killing each other in the tavern, breaking tables and chairs, and had even seen casualties. She had never thought that she would be able to see so much human blood in her life without being afraid.

”I've seen so much anyway, so I'm really not afraid.” Susu laughed, ”Aunt said, here, only those who deserve to die, the shopkeeper would not let innocent people die.”

”I'm not afraid either. With all of you here, with the shopkeeper here, I'm not afraid of anything.” The Xiaowan bravely said.

Aunt Zhang and Susu looked at each other, and Susu said mischievously: ”You are being serious in front of us, you still haven't changed your words, and have not carried us on your back.

Aunt Zhang nodded her head: ”I heard it, I heard it.”

The Xiaowan shyly lowered her head, blushing as she mumbled, ”I didn't …”

Aunt Zhang laughed out loud and said to Susu: ”Don't scare our bride away.”

Furthermore, Xiaowan was currently living in the backyard. If they were to get married, they would always stay at the tavern to travel back and forth.

The night before their marriage, Xiaowan followed Susu and went home, treating Susu's family as her parents and married him over in a bridal sedan.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day that the wedding dress was ready. Little Pei was very quick-witted today, he had already left his father's lesson early in the morning, and after not being abandoned by the adults, he followed them into the town. In the market, eating malt candy and waiting for his mother to try on her wedding dress.

Aunt Zhang set up a full set of phoenix coronet and gown for Xiaowan. Because she took into consideration of the Heaven's Heat, it was a light and thin piece of silk, beautiful but not heavy.

When Xiaowan walked out with her skirt in her hands, everyone was stunned. All of the customers in the shop surrounded her and praised her, saying that they had never seen such a beautiful bride before.

Xiaowan was shy and immediately retreated. She followed and laughed: ”What are you afraid of, they are all envious of you.”

She whispered, ”But... My husband hasn't seen it yet. I just want to show it to him. ”

Aunt Zhang laughed: ”No no, we'll wear it again on the day of our wedding.”

In the carriage heading back home, Little Pei nestled into Xiaowan's embrace, his mind filled with memories of his mother in her bridal dress. There was no one more beautiful than his mother in this world.

The Xiaowan gently waved his fan, and Little Pei suddenly said: ”Mother, don't tell Father that I am eating malt candy in town, Father does not love it.”

Xiaowan stared blankly at Little Pei.

This sound of ”mother” entered into her heart, as if it was trying to recall some sleeping memory, causing her heart to fiercely tremble.

Naturally, she was quickly moved and replaced. She didn't feel that she was too young to accept Little Pei as her ”mother”, and it was definitely not because Little Pei was cute that she liked him. It was as if she was born to be this child's mother.

”Mother …” Little Pei shouted again, acting coquettishly, giving off a sweet smell similar to malt candies, causing people to love him.

Aunt Zhang and Susu who were at the side had tears welling up in their eyes as they looked at the mother and son without interrupting.

”Mother understands.” Xiaowan was choked with sobs. Her tears and smile were both natural as she hugged the fat little fellow in her arms and lightly patted and coaxed him into loving him. ”Little Pei is so good.

”I also like mother.” Little Pei leaned on his mother's chest and started to sob.

”Little Pei, don't cry, why are you crying?” Xiaowan's heart ached, but she thought that she was laughing and coaxing the child, but her tears never stopped.

Aunt Zhang sniffed from the side and laughed, ”You two must be mother and son in your previous lives too.”

Xiaowan said with a smile in tears, ”In my previous life, I might even be the aunt's daughter.”

Aunt Zhang laughed: ”Then in this life, will you be my daughter?”

Thus, when they returned to the tavern, the Aunt Zhang announced that from today onwards, Little Pei would change his mind and not be her grandmother.

No matter what his wife said, he was willing to do it. No matter what, Little Pei was their big fat grandson.

When night fell, Xiaowan was about to follow Susu to her house, and Ling Chaofeng himself was going to send them back. A few passionate ladies of the village blocked the door and said, ”The bridegroom is fine here, but tomorrow, bring the money and sugar, and come pick up the bride.”

They said, ”Manager Ling, we know that you are extremely rich. If tomorrow's red packet isn't thick, we definitely won't let the bride go.”

Ling Chaofeng and Xiaowan were separated, the wives clustered around Xiaowan as they entered the door, both of them unwilling to part with him. Ling Chaofeng bowed to everyone, and asked them to take care of him, before he mounted his horse and looked at the distant Xiaowan through the wall.

That night, the Xiaowan did not know when she fell asleep. In her dream, she stood by the Lotus Pond that was surrounded by immortal energy.
