C186 (1/2)

The scorching heat gradually dissipated, and in the blink of an eye, autumn arrived. The leaves on the mountain had not turned red yet, so it was still somewhat hot and dry during the day.

At such a good time, Xiaowan's skin would not move just because it was hot and lazy, nor would she shrink back because it was too cold. Under the cool night breeze, Xiaowan's skin was as thin as silk, and with the faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers, how could Ling Chaofeng hold onto it?

The young lady was no longer as bashful as she was at the start of their marriage, she would take the initiative to ask for help, and her body would gradually grow longer. She was no longer the skinny and weak one that Ling Chaofeng touched at the beginning of spring.

Of course, the Xiaowan was getting more and more beautiful every day, and the various types of customers coming and going in the tavern would inevitably encounter some unpleasant things, but whether it was Susu, the Xiaowan or even the Aunt Zhang, they would never allow anything to happen to the girls within the Ling Xiao Inn.

With how reliable Hubby was, the Xiaowan was naturally not afraid. She was gradually getting familiar with the inn and in just a few months, she was able to become the boss's wife.

During the entire summer, Xiaowan's favorite thing was to study and write with Little Pei everyday. The mother and son pair's teacher was naturally Ling Chaofeng, but since Little Pei wasn't good at learning, he could stand and hit his palms. If Xiaowan wasn't good at learning, then she wouldn't be able to punish others.

The entire family was filled with joy and excitement every day. Aunt Zhang often said, ”One more person makes a difference. When I thought back to the past, I did not feel cold at all.

But in the autumn, Ling Chaofeng and the Xiaowan would have to leave. It was unknown if this trip would last for a month or even half a year.

explained, the weapon factory had to be built in a place that no one knew where it was hidden. If he did not follow, how would he be able to send the materials and silver into the mountains in the future?

Little Pei wanted to follow them, but his parents refused him.

On the day he left, Little Pei held Xiaowan and shed tears. Xiaowan also couldn't bear to part with him, it was just that the conditions in the depths of the mountains were harsh.

Ling Chaofeng carried his son and explained a few things to him. Little Pei kissed his father on the cheek, wiped away his tears, and then obediently ran back to his grandfather's side.

Just as he was about to leave, Aunt Zhang called Ling Chaofeng out, and warned him softly: ”Be careful outside, I might get pregnant later, you better watch out.”

Ling Chaofeng nodded: ”I will pay attention.”

After getting on the carriage, the Xiaowan casually asked, ”Why did Aunt call you out for just now?”

Ling Chaofeng laughed: ”Tell me to be careful, I'm afraid you're pregnant.”

Last night, it was still warm, but young lady didn't recognize it in the blink of an eye. She put on an act and shook her head: ”How can that be?

Ling Chaofeng hugged her, and said angrily: ”Be careful in the car, you'll faint soon.”

Xiaowan asked her husband, ”Are we going to go to a place far away?”

At that time, Ling Chaofeng said that it was not far, but the carriage still did not stop even after three days, the Xiaowan was gradually losing strength, after all, she had gone to the farthest place before, and had never left the boundaries of Li Prefecture.

On the other side, Mrs. Bi had already served his sentence and was on his way. She was going to walk towards the Siping Mansion in the fall, and if the journey went smoothly, he would be there by the end of the month, but if anything went wrong, it would be hard to say.

Hanxi did not cower as she followed her mother on the road resolutely. She only brought her shoes and clothes, and knew that on this journey, her mother and herself would definitely contribute a lot of shoes.

Who would have thought that the dignified Miss Qian Jin would be able to endure such hardships. The few yamen runner s who were escorting Mrs. Bi and the other prisoners already knew that Miss Bi was following them from the start. They thought that she wouldn't be able to hold on for more than a few days, but who knew that he would be following them every day?

On this day, the sky became completely dark before they reached the previous village. Thus, they stopped and started a bonfire to rest while leaning against a large tree by the side of the road.

Hanxi walked forward and timidly looked at the servants, who had brought two pots of wine and a bag of beef. They knew what Miss Bi wanted to do, so they took the things and ignored her.

She immediately ran to her mother, handed her the water bag, fed her dry rations, and carefully removed her mother's shoes. She bought ointments along the way, but her mother's feet were already in a terrible condition.

Mrs. Bi looked at his daughter as she squeezed out the blood and pus from his body and applied the ointment. The pain from her wound was not as painful as the pain in his heart. She wanted to die right away, so she wouldn't make her daughter suffer anymore, but she was afraid that if she died, her daughter really wouldn't be able to bear it.

”young lady, we have blisters on our feet too. It's so painful, why don't you give us some medicine. If you had used your cherry lips to give us a fragrant, you would have definitely recovered immediately.”

They laughed out loud and used words to play with Hanxi. This kind of things often happened along the way, and this was what Mrs. Bi was most afraid of, as they hurriedly protected their daughter in their arms.

She softly said: ”Little Xi, go home. Mother is begging you, look at the road you're walking, when I reach the Siping Mansion, can you tell your brother to bring you over again?”
