C229 (2/2)

Although Ling Chaofeng was worried, in order to let the Xiaowan relax, he pretended that it was nothing. He did his best to entrust the matters at hand to his friends in the martial arts world.

At first, she had advised Ling Chaofeng not to worry about his family, and to let him handle the matters of the Emperor. Now, seeing that his husband did not want to go out, if she did not say those words, his heart would be at ease once again.

A few days after the afternoon, he received a letter from Ershan, informing him that Lian Yi had returned to Li Prefecture to visit Mrs. Meng, and would be coming to the inn later, so he invited his family to look after Lian Yi.

Ling Chaofeng took out a hundred silver, counting the days until Lian Yi arrived at home, and asked Uncle Biao and Aunt Zhang to send it over to the Li Prefecture. When they came back, they said that Mrs. Meng was indeed alright, it looked like she had some trouble and wanted her daughter to come back and help.

The Xiaowan had long known about Ershan and her wife's story. Miss Meng was still being held back by her family, if anything happened to brother, the Mrs. Meng would ask her to save the fire.

Little Pei ate very happily, even Uncle Biao was praising the delicacy of the dumpling. Because Xiaowan felt that it was too greasy, she could not even eat a few bites, so Ling Chaofeng helped her walk down the back mountain for a breather.

”Are you thinking of your dad and sister?” After reaching the back of the mountain and avoiding his family, Ling Chaofeng said gently, ”Are you worried about them? If you have something to say, just say it. No one will laugh at you or say anything bad about you, so you don't have to hold it in. ”

Xiaowan shook her head: ”I can't say, it's probably about to happen. My heart is not at ease, I don't even know what I'm thinking about.”

Ling Chaofeng laughed: ”When the child is born, during the first month or a hundred days, I will invite Father-in-law and Wen Juan to join in the liveliness. Since Madam Xu is no longer around, there's nothing to worry about.”

”Would Wen Bao and Wen Bao hate me?” Xiaowan asked her husband. She said sadly, ”That day, my father came to deliver the dumplings for me. Wen Juan used to say a few words to me. Wen Bao was naturally still like that, and had never been close to me before. I thought I could put my family's affairs aside and forget about it in the end. ”

Ling Chaofeng said: ”The doctor said that the pregnant women have more worries, you will not be able to control your imagination, do not be afraid, when the child lands on the ground, your heart will be opened again, and after a while, you will be better.”

Xiaowan asked, ”Master, do you think I'm being too unreasonable?”

Ling Chaofeng nodded her head, ”Even if it's fake, it's still very cute. With your current appearance, you won't be able to see it in a few months, and I don't know when the next time you'll be pregnant, I cherish it too much.”

Xiaowan laughed, and poked his husband's chest: ”Are you speaking the truth, or are you coaxing me?”

Ling Chaofeng lovingly rubbed her swollen fingers, taking her to continue walking forward. After that, he returned to the tavern and personally sent her upstairs.

Xiaowan had thought that she would be able to sleep soundly this time, but in her dreams, when she returned to the Dragon Boat Festival, it was still the same scene as when she was surrounded by villagers and talked about family matters.

Suddenly, someone shouted for their child to fall into the water. Xiaowan didn't know why she could see so clearly this time, but she could see Little Pei flopping in the water, and Susu's daughter floating in the water.

She didn't have time to worry about her big belly as she immediately ran towards the river.

The river was urgent, so the Xiaowan jumped down recklessly, but seeing Little Pei and the others being washed further away, the Xiaowan shouted in shock, ”Little Pei, Little Pei!”

Suddenly, the turbulent river calmed down, and dark green lotus leaves rose from the bottom of the river. The lotus leaves were interconnected, like a long bridge over Baisha River, the Xiaowan couldn't help but walk over the bridge and rush to the other side of the bridge, pulling the two children up.

Little Pei, who was by his side, was overjoyed. He immediately rushed to the head of the bridge, reached out his hand and plucked the lotus flower, then ran back to his mother. ”Mother, this is for you.”

Xiaowan was startled. Just as she received the hand, the lotus leaves beneath her feet suddenly disappeared and she felt her body suddenly falling towards the Baisha River. But this time, she woke up.

Was it a dream?

Xiaowan's heart was still beating rapidly. She slowly sat up and held her stomach.

”Was it a dream?” The Xiaowan laughed and rubbed her stomach, ”My darling, are you your little sister?”
