C58 (1/2)

Susu returned with a bun in her arms and said to Yue Huaiyin: ”Miss, the bun is still warm, why don't you try it too.”

Yue Huaiyin said indifferently: You guys go ahead and eat, I'm not hungry, have you told Xiaowan to rest?

Susu replied: ”I did, but Xiaowan's mental state is not very good today, and I don't think her complexion is good either.”

”Bad health?” Yue Huaiyin asked.

”I don't know.” Susu laughed in joy, ”Tell me, could it be that there is more? I really hope that she can quickly give birth to a big fat boy for Manager Ling. ”

Yue Huaiyin was unhappy and waved her hands, ”The buns are getting cold, take it.”

However, Xiaowan was not pregnant, she was scared by him.

After using Jade Ring for so long, they had done so many things, but they had never dared to do bad things. Last night, she had lost her mind and could not let go of this evil idea, so she cursed Prefect Meng for dying early. But it was really just a thought, he did not think of letting them die, but, the Prefect Meng actually died.

The Xiaowan felt both guilty and terrified. She didn't know how to explain it to others, so she could only suppress her emotions and stand under the bridge while the cold wind blew. She actually had a fever that very day, not waiting to even finish selling all the buns, Uncle Biao and the Aunt Zhang were already in a rush to send the child back.

When Ling Chaofeng saw Xiaowan being carried in by the Uncle Biao, he immediately frowned and accepted it. The little girl was burning hot as he looked at him with tears in his eyes.

Ershan went to get a doctor, and came over not long after. After looking, he said that it was from the cold, and after taking a few medicines, he should be able to quench his fever.

A healthy person suddenly became ill, naturally, Ling Chaofeng's heart ached. Yesterday, Xiaowan was not right, her entire person was strange, at night, her Qi was deep and violent, as if she had been possessed by evil.

”Master, I didn't catch a cold or have a breeze. I'm wearing a lot of clothes.” The man with the fever said softly, ”I am not ill.”

Ling Chaofeng had said before, he was not allowed to get sick. When he was sick, he had to take care of her, and that was just to scare people and play with her. Now that she was afraid, he could not help but blame himself and said patiently: ”Just sleep obediently, and wake up.”

”I'll listen to you …” Xiaowan grabbed his hand and closed his eyes, but his tears still flowed down.

Ling Chaofeng was curious, did he scare her, or did he really bump into something? He was not superstitious in the first place, but he was worried about the Xiaowan, and could not help but let his imagination run wild.

After waiting for the Xiaowan to sleep peacefully, Ling Chaofeng withdrew himself from the room. The Uncle Biao told him that the Prefect Meng passed away suddenly when he was sleeping, but Ling Chaofeng had long received the news.

Before, he did not pay attention, but now, thinking about it, Prefect Meng suddenly changing his mind on the day of the Academy Competition to make things difficult for Ershan, might have been a trick on Yue Huaiyin's part. After all, she had taken the initiative to ask for help, but he had rejected his request.

Ershan followed the doctor back to grab some medicine, and Aunt Zhang quickly used it to boil. Just as he was about to follow the doctor to the kitchen, he was pulled over by Ling Chaofeng.

”Aren't you going to take a look?” Ling Chaofeng asked.

”Go...” ”Where?” Being asked blindly, Ershan did not manage to react.

The Uncle Biao laughed: ”Foolish brat, Prefect Meng has braided her hair. Such a good opportunity, why don't you go take a look outside the residence?”

Ershan said with a red face: ”It's not good to take advantage of someone.”

Uncle Biao laughed and slapped him on the back, then said to Ling Chaofeng: ”This brat, what do you care about taking advantage of others' situation, how will you be able to get on stage in the future?”

Ling Chaofeng said: ”Go, let's ask Miss Meng if you need our help.”

Ershan's eyes lit up, and confirmed once again: ”Brother, can I really go?”

Upstairs, the sleeping Xiaowan heard the Uncle Biao's laughter faintly and thought to herself, everyone is happy, that's good. She did not have the strength to open her eyes, nor did she dare to. She was afraid that if she opened her eyes, she would see the ghosts of the Prefect Meng coming for her life.

”Hubby …” Xiaowan whimpered. He could feel that his hands were empty and Ling Chaofeng was not by her side.

After sleeping for an unknown period of time, someone suddenly called out to her. ”Late, late?”

When the Xiaowan heard the gentle yet familiar voice, she opened her eyes in panic.

Xiaowan had wished to see her again in his dreams countless of times. She either returned the Jade Ring to her or asked her who the hell she was, but she had never been able to meet her again.

”Grandma, you should take the ring away.” Xiaowan choked with sobs, crying out, ”Grandma, I killed someone!”

The white-haired nanny sat by the bed, gently caressing her cheeks, wiping away her tears, and said with a smile, ”You didn't kill anyone. This ring is just a toy, how can it kill someone?”

The Xiaowan said anxiously, ”I made a wish last night that this Prefect Meng would hurry up and die so that Ershan could be together with the Miss Meng without any problems so that the latter can experience less suffering. I didn't want him to really die, but he died last night. He really died. Grandma, I cursed him to death, didn't I? ”

The white-haired granny laughed, ”There is a cause and effect for everything in this world. The cycle of karma repeats itself endlessly. Late at night, the time for Prefect Meng to die, is when his lifespan is coming to an end. It wasn't because you cursed him to death, but because he deserved it. That was why you had this thought. Do you understand? ”

Xiaowan cried: ”I don't understand.”

The child was so honest that the white-haired mother-in-law was amused. ”I already said that this ring cannot be used to kill people, do you believe me? Don't you believe your mother-in-law's words? ”

Xiaowan was startled, then nodded with tears in her eyes: ”I believe you.”

”Then that's good. Take her in peace. You can do whatever you want. It's your blessing to be late.” The white-haired granny spoke softly, wiping away her tears once more. ”Late at night, when you smile so beautifully, don't cry anymore.”
