C239 (1/2)

The Third Lady and the tavern were old friends. I heard that Ling Chaofeng's wife accidentally killed the deceased and personally came down to Baisha County to settle the case. The Prefect Liang had personally promoted the new Zhixian County, so it was naturally easy to negotiate with them.

After interrogating the people involved, he found out that the inn was already bustling with activity a few days ago, and was looking for a place to use a wet nurse for the Third Lady. The people who were watching at the dock all said that the woman had sneakily arrived by the river with the child in her arms. When the Xiaowan arrived, he begged her loudly to return the child.

What happened afterwards, although Xiaowan did intend to snatch the child back, she definitely did not push Third Lady into the river on purpose.

On that day, Feng Dushui was in a rush. If it was a normal calm day, even if the Third Lady fell into the water, she might not have died. She had chosen to steal the child that day, as if she had chosen her own life as well.

The Prefect Liang said: ”The Daqi rules follow the ancient laws, there are words about pardons, gold as a redemption punishment, all referred to as the wise man, there were mistakes, and unfortunately you have been caught.”

In this way, Xiaowan should have been sentenced to five years of imprisonment, but now they were sentenced to ransom. Uncle Biao and Aunt Zhang came to the yamen with a hundred taels of gold and redeemed their children.

When Xiaowan walked out of the yamen, she was pierced in the eyes by the sun's rays. The prison was a place without daylight, in just a few days, it was impossible for people to adapt to the outside world.

Just as they were about to get on the carriage, they heard the sound of horse hooves approaching them from afar. Xiaowan could immediately recognize that it was her husband, and saw Ling Chaofeng riding his horse through the streets.

”Hubby …” Xiaowan shouted.

When Ling Chaofeng heard his wife's voice, he immediately tightened his reins and turned. Sure enough, he saw a family standing at the entrance of the yamen.

”Hubby.” Xiaowan ran over and Ling Chaofeng jumped down from the horse. He did not know what had happened, but he had to carry his wife fully.

Ling Chaofeng smelled a strange scent from Xiaowan's body. His brows trembled, as if he had realized something, and Xiaowan had also suddenly pushed him away. Tears hung on his face as he said, ”Hubby, I … I'm too smelly …”

Ling Chaofeng hugged her: ”Nothing. ”What happened late at night?”

There were more and more commoners watching by the side. Aunt Zhang stepped forward and said: ”This young one has suffered, let's return home first and talk about this later.”

Inside the tavern, Little Pei stood in front of the door and looked around. He knew that his father should be home by now, but he never expected that they would really be together.

Once Xiaowan got off the carriage, she carried his son in his arms. Little Pei sobbed, ”Mother, I'm so obedient. I take care of my brother and sister everyday, I don't have the time to study or write anymore.”

went forward to comfort him. After he hugged his son, he saw Da Qing coming out with a brazier, telling Xiaowan to cross the brazier to get rid of the bad luck.

After that, he took a bath and changed his clothes. Then, he threw his clothes into the brazier to burn them all.

Susu and Aunt Zhang came downstairs with Little Fei and Little Qi in their arms. The two children seemed to recognize their mother and cried the moment they saw Xiaowan.

It was just that after staying in the prison for a few days, although she was not troubled nor was she abused, the dungeon was still the prison. Her current milk supply was not as abundant as it was before the incident.

She gulped down the fish soup and chicken soup, stuffing her greasy pig's feet into her stomach. She was eating very hard, wanting to return to her former state and be able to feed her child.

No one would have thought that Ling Chaofeng, a weak girl, would be able to cause so much trouble for the tavern.

Unexpectedly, he had been too careless. A mother who had lost her child, how could she act like a normal person?

The Uncle Biao called Ling Chaofeng to the back, he smoked and said: ”I have seen everything that happened that day, and now that I think about it, I am still trembling with fear. If I am like that, I cannot wait, and furthermore, I stayed in the prison for a few days. ”Don't look at her immediately having the spirit to take care of his child. That is the natural instinct of a mother. If you care more about her, ask her if he has any problems that he can't understand.”

Ling Chaofeng repeatedly said yes, the more he asked about the details of Uncle Biao, the more he felt sorry for his wife. But Xiaowan was so brave and calm, he had a whole new level of respect for her.

In the bedroom on the third floor, Xiaowan had coaxed the two children to sleep. Little Pei followed behind her closely, whispering that he had not done his homework for the past few days. He was unable to finish the homework his father had given him just as he was about to leave.

As Little Pei had previously been unable to finish the homework that Ling Chaofeng had left behind, this time, the father and son pair had decided. If they still could not finish it, then they would just come back with a meal.
