Mistress of the Mysterious Inn - C211

As Wen Bao was unwilling to go into the prison to see his mother, Master Mu left his son in front of the door. He placed a handful of copper coins in front of the prison guards and led Wen Juan away.

The Madam Xu was thinner and dirtier. Although the cells would occasionally give the prisoners a bath, the winter water was too cold and some of the prisoners would rather not wash because they were afraid of the cold. This was the case for the Madam Xu.

How could she have known that every winter, Xiaowan would wash her hair with cold water. She did not fall sick, but that child was lucky.

“His father …” Madam Xu shouted and her tears fell like rain. However, she only saw the man and her daughter come and anxiously asked, “Where’s Wen Bao? Why hasn’t he come?

Wen Juan said: “Mother, he’s outside, he’s not willing to come in.”

Madam Xu was very disappointed, but her eyes suddenly popped out again, and she scolded Master Mu: “What if you throw him out and get kidnapped by someone?”

“Someone is watching, don’t let your imagination run wild.” Master Mu took out the food he was eating and said coldly, “With that silly brat of yours, who would be interested in him?”

“So what if she is? You don’t like him anymore, he’s the only son of your Old Mu family?” Madam Xu stayed in the prison for so long, but she still did not reduce the hostility and viciousness on her body. “If you dare to mistreat my son, even as a ghost, I will not let you go. I will definitely go out sooner or later, and you guys will owe me your Old Mu family, so I will definitely repay you.”

“What nonsense are you talking in front of your child?” The Master Mu sighed, “I knew it, I shouldn’t have come to see you.”

The Madam Xu was furious, “Why am I spouting nonsense? Do you wish for me to die so you can get another woman?”

The guard heard the noise and came over to scold: “What are you shouting for? Do you believe that I won’t beat you to death? ”

Madam Xu was so scared that her whole body was trembling, she did not dare to say a single word.

After entering the prison, except for the fact that he had never been tortured by these guards, he had been beaten up to the point that his skin and flesh were torn apart. He could even do all the work that he could to the point where he could not straighten his back. During the summer bath, the other prisoners had stolen her clothes, forcing her to run naked out of the house. However, the guards had made things difficult for her and had not given her clothes for a whole day.

In comparison, Aunt Wang’s days were much better than hers, because the Wang family would occasionally send gifts to the prison to beg the guards to accommodate them, but on the Madam Xu’s side, she never thought that they would do such a thing.

After the jailer left, Wen Juan said timidly to his mother, “Mother, please eat something. It will become cold in a moment.”

Madam Xu woke up from her stupor and directly used her hands to stuff everything into her mouth. As sshe ate, he cried and asked Master Mu, “Did you bring any money?”

Master Mu said he had some broken silver on him, so he cried: “You give them some, and when you go home and get some, didn’t I already tell you where I hid the silver? “His father, save me! They mistreat me everyday!”

“Just you wait.” Master Mu sighed, then took out the money from his pocket and counted it out, politely looking for a few jailers. On this side, Wen Juan passed the soup to her mother, telling her to give her some food so that she wouldn’t choke on it.

“Mom, I’ve always wanted to see you.” Wen Juan cried. She rubbed her mother’s hands that were covered with cold sores and asked, “Mother, when will you be able to go home?”

The Madam Xu was not moved at all. Instead, she asked, “How is Wen Bao, has he grown taller? Has your father fed him meat? When Wen Bao was being naughty, was your father able to beat him up?”

Wen Juan’s heart sank, but she still replied his mother one by one. Abruptly, his mother asked her, “How is Mu Xiaowan now?”

“I don’t know. I’ve never seen big sister before.” Wen Juan said.

Wen Juan fearfully covered her face as she looked at his mother. Madam Xu suppressed her voice and scolded angrily, “That’s your sister, I climbed both of you out from my stomach, where did you get this sister from?”

Wen Juan moaned and cried. Madam Xu raised her hand to hit her again, saying that his daughter wanted to provoke the prison guards to trample on her, but fortunately, she was back. Seeing that her daughter was pitiful, she decided to not stay anymore.

“Juan’er, Juan’er …” “You came to visit mother again, my daughter …” The Madam Xu was only slightly more awake now, but the prison door was closed. Her daughter hid in her father’s embrace and left without looking back.

“Be more honest, or you’ll be even more handsome!” The jailer took the Master Mu’s money but was still as fierce as ever. He kicked the food they brought with him onto the ground.

Once the guards left, the few criminals who were originally sitting in the corner rushed over to snatch the food, and even forced Madam Xu into a corner. Seeing those people gobbling down the dirty food on the ground, Madam Xu felt waves of disgust.

Sadly, however, she had long since swallowed stale food and dirty water in order to survive.

In front of her eyes, the time of the past had suddenly come. Although her family wasn’t rich, a man could make money. She didn’t have to go to the fields and didn’t have to work, so she lived a full life.

Usually, other than cooking food for the two children and himself, all the dirty jobs in the family were done by stepdaughters. She was afraid that Mu Xiaowan would eat them secretly. She had never let Xiaowan touch food, what she could give to Xiaowan was worse than pig’s food.

The happiest thing was, if he was even slightly unhappy, he would be able to take revenge on his stepdaughter. was especially happy when he saw how Xiaowan was beaten up and rolling on the ground while her flesh was bleeding profusely.

She didn’t know how many thorns were broken or how many whips were broken. She went to the town and saw that someone was selling feather dusters. When she picked them up, she was the first to feel if the beating was painful enough.

The greatest joy in her life was stealing men to hide silver, and torturing Mu Xiaowan.

Madam Xu’s eyes stared straight at the criminals who were eating their food. Her expression became more and more sinister, and the hatred in her heart became more and more intense. Suddenly, her body trembled and she fell down head first.

Furthermore, Master Mu was out in prison, bringing his son and daughter back to Qingling Village, and had even passed by places where Ling Xiao Inn were laid out. Wen Bao was so angry that he slapped him twice, and dragged the child away.

The Uncle Biao and the Aunt Zhang also knew each other, but when they saw him, they did not come over to greet him. Even if they asked him if he was alright with the Xiaowan, maybe because they felt that it was embarrassing, or maybe because they hated him in their hearts. The whole family looked at each other, but since the Master Mu was separated like this, they were too lazy to care.

Little Pei was cute, plump, white and tender, he was likeable to anyone who passed by. The aunty and sister-in-law would stop to give him something, and the ones that were more familiar with him would say to Uncle Biao: “Be our son-in-law, my granddaughter doesn’t look too bad, she’s compatible.”

Everyone was laughing and laughing, surrounded by them, or helping them with their work. Little Pei was originally happy to be surrounded by the stars, but suddenly felt a wave of yin energy.

He raised his head to look and saw a black shadow flying out from the yamen. He was startled, it was not a ghost, it was a Living Soul!

Living Soul s possessed the will that the original owner resented the most. It did not differentiate good from evil, the only reason why it existed was to kill the person it resented for the sake of the physical body.

Little Pei’s heart skipped a beat. He made the calculations in his heart, and this wisp of Living Soul belonged to her mother’s stepmother, Madam Xu. He ran towards Aunt Zhang and spoiled his sleep by saying that he was tired. Aunt Zhang then carried his grandson to the carriage and covered him with a blanket.

As soon as the Aunt Zhang left, Little Pei flew out to chase after the Living Soul, but the beast didn’t seem to know what was happening and was floating all over the sky. The Living Soul’s level was too low, so he couldn’t see Little Pei’s gold body. Little Pei stared at it, only to see his laughing sinisterly, as if he had understood something, and immediately flew towards the Ling Xiao Inn.

“Evil creature!” Little Pei roared out, but just as he was about to open his mouth to bite, the voice of his uncle and Captive Cow sounded out from the sky, “Little Pei, stop!”

Little Pei bit the air, and called the Madam Xu to pick up her life. It continued to fly towards the Ling Xiao Inn, but Little Pei was stopped by his uncle.

“That’s the Madam Xu’s Living Soul. She wants to harm my mother!” Little Pei was extremely anxious, “Uncle, if she was just a little bit later, she would have succeeded.”

Captive Cow sighed: “Foolish brat, why don’t you remember that your mother has a long lifespan? Your mother is a lotus flower in front of Buddha, how can a wisp of Living Soul hurt her?”

“But …”

“Little Pei, have you forgotten something again? You can’t use your Fa Li to do anything that a mortal can’t do.” The Captive Cow was furious, “Are you really going to let uncle take you back to the Heavenly Court?”

Little Pei tumbled in the clouds, anxious and restless, but he did not dare go against his uncle, and rushed back to his body. When he woke up, he went to Aunt Zhang, crying and arguing about going home immediately.

Seeing Little Pei being so disobedient, the adults were worried that the child was not feeling well, so they got Susu and Da Qing to send him home first. Susu hugging Little Pei all the way, was completely scared by the child.

“Little Pei, are you unwell?” Susu was worried, “Tell me, where does it hurt?”
