Mistress of the Mysterious Inn - C198
When she finally returned to his warm and comfortable home, Xiaowan finally felt tired. This time, following him out of the house was not just for sightseeing, but to do even more work than at the inn. It was just that she was too busy to feel anything. When she returned, she was so tired that she collapsed on the bed, unable to move.
And today, since there were guests in the tavern, Xiaowan took Little Pei upstairs and did not come down again.
When Ling Chaofeng returned to his room, and saw Little Pei in Xiaowan’s embrace, it was unknown when the mother and son duo fell asleep, but they both had red faces. He looked at them from beside the bed, and actually felt that Little Pei’s eyebrows were somewhat similar to the Xiaowan’s.
He couldn’t bear to wake up his wife and children, so he went downstairs alone.
The guest had already left. Aunt Zhang and Susu cleaned up the table and chopsticks, and asked him: “Why aren’t you coming down, it’s time for us to eat.”
“Sleep soundly, I can’t bear to call her. Xiaowan is tired.” Ling Chaofeng said, “Eat after you wake up. You won’t be hungry.”
Aunt Zhang asked, “Why did you suddenly return? Is something wrong? ”
Ling Chaofeng said: “We’ll explain later, in the next few days I still need to go out, I won’t go far, but I won’t be at home during the day. I’ll ask you to take care of the business in the shop and the Xiaowan.”
Aunt Zhang said: “Family, what are you all doing talking about this? All you need to do is to be safe.”
Even though he said that, his family all knew about it, even Susu could sense that there was something important.
That night, Da Qing came to pick her up. He told her that the words he had heard from the dock were from the Chuanyu who were moving towards the shore.
“With whom?” Susu asked.
“Everyone says it’s Xiluo.” Da Qing clicked his tongue, “I don’t even know in which direction the Xiluo is located.”
Susu said worriedly: “If you fight too hard, will you recruit more troops?”
Da Qing asked: “If it’s recruitment, are you going to let me go?”
Susu shook her head: “How would anyone be willing to send their own husband or son to the battlefield to die, but with the justice of the nation in front of them …” She paused, then said firmly, “If there really is a day, you can go. I’ll wait for you at home.”
Da Qing said: But I will only pull the boat and deliver the goods, what’s the point of going to the battlefield?
However, Susu said: “If there is a war going on at the coastal area, wouldn’t you be using it?”
Da Qing laughed: “You really want to send me to the battlefield?”
In the tavern, Xiaowan finally woke up. She felt sore all over his body, and turned over with difficulty. Little Pei also woke up, and crawled over in a daze to lie on Xiaowan’s body.
Ling Chaofeng brought the food over. Seeing that they were all awake, he patted his son’s butt and told him to get up. However, Little Pei swapped his body from mother to father, pestering them softly and tenderly. He just didn’t want to walk on his own.
Ling Chaofeng knew that leaving Little Pei at home felt wrong and wronged, so he naturally allowed him to act coquettishly.
Seeing the two of them eating, Little Pei gave the big piece of meat to his mother. Ling Chaofeng was very pleased, and said to Xiaowan: “Rest for a few days, don’t worry about the matters in the shop. In a few days, I will contact the Chuanyu’s Army and clear the route for the food and grass transportation.
Xiaowan nodded: “Of course I’m going. Didn’t we agree on it?”
The two of them looked at Little Pei at the same time. Little Pei was chewing on a large piece of pork chop with his face full of sauce, his mouth stuffed with it as he said, “Daddy, I’m not going. I’ll be good at home.”
The Xiaowan’s heart ached. She wiped his mouth and said gently: “Wait until Mother comes back, I’ll bring you something nice to eat. Little Pei is the most obedient.”
Little Pei said: “Mother, I want little brother. Little brother is the most fun.”
Ling Chaofeng coughed dryly. “Tomorrow, let Grandfather take you to the town to buy it.”
Little Pei said, “I don’t want to buy it, I want it from my mother.”
When they were gone for a month, the child had grown up a bit. Finally, he understood that his mother could not buy it, and his brother could not too.
Little Pei agreed, and gave the meat chop in his hand to his father: “Father will also eat.”
After that, Ling Chaofeng went around everywhere, returning home late at night. Xiaowan loved him dearly and did not dare to take it from him. He was afraid that he would have to go out in the future and be pregnant to delay matters.
But Ling Chaofeng had been holding back in the mountains for a long time now, and he had to hug the beautiful girl tightly in his arms every night. Xiaowan was naturally satisfied, as she was even more unwilling to let go of his and fuse with his.
Just as Ling Chaofeng was about to bring Xiaowan out again, Bi Zhenye had just returned back to the capital with his sister.
As Hanxi was injured, she walked very slowly and quickly back. When she arrived in the capital, Lian Yi brought someone to pick him up and directly brought his little sister-in-law back to the brothel to take care of her.
Initially, they had thought that after returning to the big house, although there were a lot of servants and aunties in the house, they might not be able to take care of him meticulously.
They had originally thought this would be the best arrangement. Who knew that when Bi Hanxi returned with heavy injuries, she would be sold again by her own father the moment she stepped into the capital.
That day, Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi asked his former close colleague, who was still working, to pass a note to the Emperor, stating that he was willing to betroth her daughter, Bi Hanxi, to Prince Haas in order to conclude the contract between Daqi and Qin Jin.
Surprisingly, the Emperor agreed.
Bi Zhenye went to the palace gate and asked to see the emperor. Since the attendant said that the emperor had no spare time, he decided to wait. In less than an hour, Ershan arrived. He spoke a few words with him in front of the palace gate and then brought Big Brother away.
Deep in the palace, the empress was playing chess. The little princess was sitting obediently at the side as she took a chess piece for her royal father and another chess piece for her mother. She was extremely adorable.
The game was changing, the Queen’s victory was in her hands. She was frowning as she calculated how to win the game when she suddenly saw her daughter throw herself onto the board, waving both her hands and messing up the entire game.
The chess pieces were scattered, and after a series of popping sounds, the emperor laughed loudly. As expected, Siyan became anxious, and said to his daughter: “Mother, it’s rare for you to win, what are you doing?”
“What are you going to do to her?” The Emperor immediately protected his son and hugged his precious daughter in his arms as he said complacently, “How can I lose?”
Siyan was not happy and reached out her hand to pat his daughter’s butt. The Little Princess screamed, but Xiang Run protected his daughter and berated Siyan: “You’re so petty, just a game of chess.”
Siyan said: “In the end, who is the stingy one. They were clearly going to lose, and yet you still said that they won’t lose.”
The Emperor said proudly, “Of course I won’t lose.”
The steward of the household came over and reported to the empress dowager that Bi Zhenye had left. He said, “It was Lord Ling Qian Ling who came to take Senior Bi away.”
The emperor picked up a few chess pieces and played with them for the little princess to play with. He said disapprovingly, “Ling Qian has improved.”
The empress motioned for them to withdraw, then picked up the pieces from the chessboard. Seeing this, the little princess climbed down from her father’s bosom and helped her mother pick them up.
Xiang Run said: “This time, you promised. If your brother really doesn’t feel anything for Bi Hanxi, then I will marry you to Xiluo.”
Siyan said: “If it’s really like this, the emperor can just spare Mrs. Bi the hard labour, which can be considered a bit of compensation. Of course, if big brother snatches Bi Hanxi away, then it would be their mutual fortune. ”
The Emperor asked, “Can you be cruel? Didn’t you say that you would use your identity as the mother of Daqi Nation to beg us to not marry any other ladies? ”
However, Siyan said, “The emperor thinks so. I would like to find a good wife for my brother.”
Xiang Run rested his chin on his hand and lightly tapped the Go Board: “Do you really think that your brother and Bi Hanxi can get any results?”
Siyan said: “A weak girl, who is severely injured in order to save him, my brother will definitely not sit by and watch Hanxi go to the Xiluo. Whether or not he has thought about it, he will marry this woman.”
Xiang Run said: “What if you lose the bet?”
Siyan smiled, “Even I am the emperor’s. What else does the emperor plan to do?”
The little princess imitated her mother’s tone and asked her father in a childish voice, “What do you want?”
The emperor hugged his daughter and said, “royal father wants a powerful water body that belongs to Daqi.”
Siyan held the Go Board, looked at her father and daughter Tian Lun, and said: “Your majesty, aren’t you going to personally take a look?”
Xiang Run looked up: “Are you going?”
At this time, Ling Qian brought Bi Zhenye back to the middle of the mansion, it was quiet there. The middle mansion wasn’t big, and after walking a few steps, they would arrive at his grandmother’s bedroom.
On the bed, Hanxi leaned into Lian Yi’s embrace, and her eyes looked straight ahead. Only when she saw her two brothers had returned did she reveal a faint smile.
Bi Zhenye said: “Little Xi, big brother must beg the emperor to retract his order.”
However, Hanxi said, “Then I might as well ask the emperor to use me in exchange for mother. Brother, go beg the emperor, tell him that I’m willing to marry him, but ask the emperor to spare his mother’s life of hard labor, so that she won’t be tortured, alright? ”
Bi Zhenye shook his head. “No, how can you call it emotions? “You called me …” He clenched his fists so hard that they cracked, hating his father.
