When Xiaowan discussed this with Ling Chaofeng, Ling Chaofeng said that he would be leaving for some matters in two days, and that he would be staying in the capital for a day. At that time, he would personally tell Ershan that he would try to see if he could improve on this kind of situation.

Only now did Xiaowan hear from her husband that the second princess of the Supreme Emperor had married into the Jin Nation, and the first thing she did to change it was to forbid the trade of women and children. However, this was a matter that could not be tolerated by the law in the Daqi, so no matter how vast the empire was, there was always a time when the Emperor could not reach his side.

Naturally, if Ling Chaofeng wanted to stay in the capital for a day, just calculating the distance between the Baisha County and the capital would allow his husband to only be able to return home at least ten days.

Before and after the birth of the child, it had been a long time since the husband and wife had been separated for so long. But she knew that Ling Chaofeng had already delayed many things in order to protect her and her child. Also, he had to repay the favors of the people who had helped him in the past few days.

”Master, Susu said that the sesame candy in the capital is delicious. I want to eat some, can you buy some for me? ”Buy more and you can eat them even if you keep them for the winter.” The Xiaowan laughed leisurely, ”I will ask Susu which family ate it later.”

Ling Chaofeng knew that his wife was considerate and kissed the Xiaowan. ”Don't worry, I will settle this matter and the sesame candy for you.”

Xiaowan asked: ”Then what about Third Lady, will she stay in our store?”

Ling Chaofeng said: ”If her mother-in-law can't catch his, she will definitely come to the inn to find trouble and send Buddha to the west. I think that it would just be losing some money, why not leave Third Lady here with us, and wait for her mother-in-law to let her go, then let her think of a way to find her child. ”Our shop doesn't lack people. We can't really leave her here.”

”Husband, you really are a good person.” Xiaowan said gratefully, ”I hope Third Lady can successfully find her daughter.”

As a result, before dusk, the old granny came back as Ling Chaofeng had said. Seeing her daughter-in-law sitting in the hall, she rushed up and slapped her twice, but Aunt Zhang and Uncle Biao came over and pulled her away.

The Aunt Zhang said: ”If you continue to beat him, don't blame us for being impolite and sending you to the yamen. It's just a meal on a board.”

She rolled up her sleeves and used her palm as a fan. Her forehead was full of sweat as she hatefully said, ”I want to see what you guys told the officials. It was you who hid my wife. As for me hitting her, it's my family's ghost if she lives or dies, which grandma doesn't teach her daughter-in-law a lesson? ”

Third Lady was curled up behind them. When her mother-in-law shouted loudly, she trembled in fear.

Xiaowan watched as she held the child in her arms. She heard from Susu that her husband, the childhood sweetheart, had come with the family and in the end, had actually washed their Ling Xiao Inn with blood.

A weak girl had personally killed a family of three and disappeared with her daughter. And what angered her wasn't the abuse she had suffered, but the fact that her mother-in-law wanted to sell her daughter as a child's daughter-in-law in order to save the family's business.

Why was the life of a girl so worthless? Although there were some who sold boys, in comparison, there were still fewer.

Thinking about it this way, her father had treated her quite well. He had threatened Madam Xu with a loud voice, saying that he definitely would not allow his stepmother to sell him.

Before Xiaowan could recover her wits, there was already a ruckus downstairs. That old granny was very powerful, she did not dare do anything in the morning, and now that her daughter-in-law was here, she felt like she was in charge. Her waist was also stiff, and she started making a ruckus downstairs.

There were a few guests who wanted to enter the door, but upon seeing this scene, they hurriedly ran away. It seemed that this woman would not rest until she had achieved her goal.

Ling Chaofeng walked over from the back, took a piece of paper, and a bag of money. He placed the piece of paper on the table and said: This is the contract, we are inviting your wife to work here, how much money do you want?

That mother-in-law blinked and sized up the people here. The moment she opened her mouth, she said, ”Five hundred silver taels.”

In the morning, it was still 100 taels, which became 500 taels after half a day. Such shamelessness and greed, it could be seen that there were countless people like the Madam Xu in this world.

Ling Chaofeng laughed coldly: ”One hundred liang, press your hand here.”

The lady spat and scolded, ”A hundred liang, are you going to send the beggar away?”

Ling Chaofeng said indifferently: You can either take a hundred liang of silver and leave, or use it to bury your Baisha River, what do you think?

The woman was stunned for a moment, but she did not dare to do anything like killing someone. She forcefully lifted her nose and humphed, ”Five hundred taels of silver, not a single copper can be missing.”

Ling Chaofeng looked at Uncle Biao, who snickered and rolled up his sleeves, walking towards the old lady, scaring her so much that she had to retreat and scream.

However, Uncle Biao had already taken off her waist, and in the blink of an eye, her hands and feet were tied up. He put them on his shoulders and said to Ling Chaofeng: ”I will tie a few more stones to her and sink her down tightly.”

”Let me go, let me go …” The woman screamed and finally begged for mercy, ”One hundred taels, that's one hundred taels.”

However, Ling Chaofeng said coldly: ”Ten taels of silver, take the silver and leave, not the silver that will sink the river.”
