Mistress of the Mysterious Inn - C212

Little Pei shook his head, leaned into Susu’s embrace and obediently sobbed. He didn’t know how he should respond to his aunt’s question.

In the tavern, Xiaowan was addicted to sleep at the start of pregnancy. Not long after eating breakfast, she leaned on the bed and imitated the needle technique that Aunt Zhang had taught him, wanting to knit a hat for Little Pei. Without realizing it, she fell asleep.

He was originally sleeping soundly, but suddenly something grabbed her by the neck, making it difficult for her to breathe. Xiaowan struggled to open her eyes, but she could not see anything.

“Hubby, hubby …” She cried out in pain.

But at that moment, Ling Chaofeng happened to push the door open and enter the room. The Madam Xu was shocked, she immediately let go, she subconsciously wanted to hide, but her head suddenly burrowed into the Xiaowan’s stomach.

“Late?” Ling Chaofeng realized that Xiaowan had closed his eyes in pain. He put down the food and came to wake her up.

She nestled into Ling Chaofeng’s embrace, her husband gently caressing her back. “Have you had a nightmare?”

“Mm …” Xiaowan also couldn’t say anything, she could only breathe heavily, not wanting Ling Chaofeng to worry about her, he smiled and said, “Hubby, I’m fine, how can I become so delicate just because I’m carrying a child?”

“So what if you’re delicate? Everyone in this world dotes on you.” Ling Chaofeng supported Xiaowan who was leaning against the bed, he walked to the window and opened it a crack, the clear and cold air floated in, Xiaowan felt much more at ease.

When Ling Chaofeng saw the carriage in the house, he asked: “Why did they come back so early?”

Not long after, Little Pei ran up from downstairs while clamoring. The moment he entered the door, he threw himself into Xiaowan’s embrace.

Susu followed him in, and laughed: “I don’t know what happened to this little thing today, but it’s making a huge ruckus. It cried and shouted to go home, and Aunt couldn’t coax it anymore, so she told us to send it back first. Look at him, Da Qing and I are going back to town. There are still a lot of porridge to be delivered. ”

Ling Chaofeng warned them to be careful on their way here and to send Susu to the entrance. He also asked Da Qing to deliver a letter to the town for him.

Inside the house, Little Pei’s eyes were blazing as he stared at the house. The yin aura in the house had not dissipated yet, and he felt his heart clench as he looked down at his mother’s stomach.

Seeing Little Pei looking at her stomach, she laughed: “Silly child, I can’t see his face anymore. In a few days, when even the trees behind the mountain grow green, Mother’s stomach will grow big.”

Little Pei still reached out his hand to touch her, and when he felt the Yin Qi churning inside his mother’s body, he actually slapped her with his palm, wanting to shake her out.

“Little Pei…” Xiaowan was shocked, this slap was not light.

“What are you doing?” Ling Chaofeng just happened to be in the door when he saw this scene. He rushed forward and pulled his son away from Xiaowan, berating, “How can you hit your mother’s stomach?”

“He just touched it.” Xiaowan hurriedly stood up and stood in front of Little Pei to protect him, “Don’t talk nonsense, he just lightly touched me a little. Look, I’m fine.”

Ling Chaofeng naturally believed in his own eyes. Just now, not only did Little Pei pat Xiaowan’s stomach, his eyes revealed a murderous light, with an expression that could chill the heart, such a young child, where did all this hatred come from?

However, today, he did not make a sound. Xiaowan turned around and picked him up, and said to Ling Chaofeng: “Your child must be feeling sick somewhere. You don’t feel sorry for him, and you even scolded him. You may leave, I will just look at Little Pei. Husband, you can go and busy yourself. ”

Ling Chaofeng glared at his son, but instead, he turned and faced his son’s butt.

Xiaowan carried Little Pei and laid him on the bed. Little Pei held her hand and Xiaowan smiled affectionately: “Alright, Mother will sleep with you. Come, take off your clothes.”

If Little Pei could use his powers, the Living Soul would have disappeared from his mouth long ago, but he could not do that. He was only a three or four year old child, and it would be difficult for him to force the Madam Xu’s Living Soul out of her mother’s body.

The Living Soul was very cunning, when the mother and son just laid down, she immediately jumped out, laughed sinisterly in the air, and quickly flew away.

Little Pei heaved a sigh of relief and lightly protected his mother’s stomach. The two of them snuggled up against each other, and so as not to worry his mother, they pretended to sleep.

“Little Pei is so obedient.” He heard his mother’s voice, felt her touch his body, and kissed his cheek twice.

Xiaowan loved Little Pei a lot, and just as she had said to Ling Chaofeng, it was as if he was his own.

Although what happened just now was strange, Xiaowan felt that Little Pei was not doing it on purpose.

On the contrary, she reminded herself that she had to care for Little Pei more in these few days. After the child was born, she couldn’t ignore him.

“Little Pei, even if you have your younger brother and sister, Mother will still love you a lot. Don’t worry.” Xiaowan thought she was talking to a sleeping child, and lovingly kissed him twice more, pinching Little Pei’s chubby cheeks, “If his younger brother and sister looked like brother, how nice it would be! Little Pei, your biological father must be a very handsome person. ”

In the yamen prison, the unconscious Madam Xu finally woke up. Her Living Soul had returned to her body, but she would not have this memory in her mind.

She was soaked to the skin, and when she opened her eyes, a bucket of ice-cold, bone-chilling water was poured over her head, causing her to scream in fear.

“He woke up, he woke up!” Someone shouted.

Madam Xu struggled to open her eyes, only to see a few jailers standing in front of him. They shouted angrily: “You finally woke up!

Suddenly, a whip came over. Madam Xu wailed in pain as she curled up and hid in a corner, begging the jailers to stop hitting her.

In the cell that was not far away, the criminals all stretched their heads out to see that Madam Xu was taught a lesson by the guards.

Someone said, “Did you know that she stole men before she came in?”

They chattered about their lies while the Aunt Wang dragged the door of the cell, staring fixedly at them.

The scene in front of her eyes was too familiar. For the past ten odd years, Xiaowan had been this miserable every day. That child was often beaten to death by Madam Xu. There was no logic at all, Madam Xu just liked to abuse her stepdaughter.

Until now, every rod and whip that the Xiaowan struck seemed to have become his own body.

Madam Xu was thrown back into her cell by the guards. She laid on the ground motionlessly as her pants were torn to shreds, revealing the dirty flesh underneath.

Aunt Wang curled up in fear as she held her heart and shivered. She had once urged Madam Xu to beat Xiaowan up, because she was afraid that Xiaowan would be too beautiful and hook her son’s soul. That brat was too stubborn, she couldn’t afford a daughter-in-law like her.

The worst thing was, every time Xiaowan was beaten to death, she would only pretend to advise him otherwise.

She had also let down the Xiaowan, so would she suffer this kind of retribution? But now, staying in a prison was already better than death, was this retribution?

“God, please forgive me. When I’m out, I’ll go kowtow to Xiaowan and apologize. Please forgive me …” She was afraid of getting beaten up, but she heard the Madam Xu’s moans which miserably echoed in the cell.

In the next few days, within the Ling Xiao Inn, they saw Little Pei following Xiaowan, not even a step away from his. Ling Chaofeng was worried that the Xiaowan had worked too hard and blamed his son for not understanding the situation, but the Xiaowan was happy about it and was satisfied with everything.

At first, he thought that being able to reason with others would allow him to be obedient. He was fine previously, but in the past two days, this child had been extremely rebellious, crying if he was not satisfied.

The Xiaowan, on the other hand, followed Little Pei’s thoughts and advised him not to be impatient.

On this day, Ling Chaofeng was going out for two days. Before he left, he brought his son up to him and said sincerely: “Little Pei, you are a big child now. When your mother is pregnant, she needs to rest. How can she always be around you? Listen up, don’t pester your mother anymore and act like a spoiled child. When your father comes back, I’ll buy you a kite that’s very, very long, okay? ”

Little Pei reluctantly agreed as Ling Chaofeng rubbed his head: “Son, what’s wrong?”

However, he promised his father, turned around and started pestering the Xiaowan. The Xiaowan wasn’t in any trouble anyway, they couldn’t even stand watching the Aunt Zhang continue watching. Everyone was trying to speak reason for Little Pei, but he politely agreed on the surface and pestered the Xiaowan instead.

He knew very well that once a human’s Living Soul left his body, it would lose control, and at first, he would need a very strong grudge to force it out of his body. However, once it appeared, and with just a bit of resentment, the Living Soul would decide that he should kill someone to help him rid himself of the grudge, and not stop until that happened.

There were a few solutions. If the Living Soul was directly torn apart, the original owner would go unconscious forever until his life died. Or perhaps, he could directly kill the original owner and the Living Soul would no longer exist. The most ideal thing would naturally be to remove the original owner’s resentment, but how could someone like the Madam Xu exist?

Little Pei couldn’t use his own mana to protect his mother, so he could only watch over her closely. He wanted to use his own immortal energy to force the Living Soul of the Madam Xu to not dare to come closer, as this would indeed have an effect.

But also because of this, the Living Soul’s resentment became heavier and heavier. If they couldn’t kill the person they wanted to kill, it was very likely that they would turn into a demon in the end.

Little Pei did not understand, this was obviously something that the Heaven Realm should do, what about the person in charge? Not only that, he was also not allowed to make a move.

Two days later, Ling Chaofeng was about to return, and the Xiaowan could hear the sound of horse hooves from afar. He confidently thought that her husband had returned, and brought Little Pei downstairs to welcome him, but when they arrived at the head of the stairs, he remembered that their father and son’s relationship was not very good recently, and tried to coax her son, “Yesterday, I copied that thread, and Grandma praised you for writing it well. Go and bring it over for daddy to see later.”

Little Pei agreed, then ran back into the room and found the word he copied.

This short separation had actually attracted Madam Xu’s Living Soul over quickly. She smiled sinisterly and threw herself forward to grab her neck. Xiaowan immediately felt suffocated, but she had no idea what had happened to her.

Once Little Pei stepped out of the door, he immediately saw the Living Soul that rushed up to drive the Madam Xu away. He was the most respected Golden Dragon, he was born like a god among the gods, and even if she was an illusion made from mortal flesh, the immortal Qi was definitely not something the Living Soul could resist. Last time, the Living Soul burrowed into the Xiaowan’s stomach, and was only able to coexist with Little Pei for a short while.

Xiaowan was suddenly untied, and her body naturally fell backwards. Unexpectedly, her foot landed on the stairs, causing her to miss her footing. Her body fell down heavily, and followed the stairs all the way to the second floor.

“Mother …” Little Pei had originally wanted to reach out to grab his mother, but he missed, just as Ling Chaofeng just happened to walk in through the door. Raising his head, what he saw was Little Pei pushing Xiaowan down the stairs.

“Late!” Ling Chaofeng was shocked, he immediately rushed to the stairs and supported the Xiaowan, while looking up at Little Pei, that little child, who was standing on the stairs with a domineering attitude, suddenly regained his senses and revealed the side of a child. He ran over, but the man in anger reached out his hand to stop him.

When Xiaowan opened her eyes, she was shocked to see Ling Chaofeng’s large palm striking towards Little Pei’s cheek. The little child was knocked onto the ground, and on his white and tender cheeks, a glaring palm print suddenly appeared.

“Little Pei…” Xiaowan struggled up, pushed Ling Chaofeng away, crawled over and hugged Little Pei.

“You still want to protect him when he pushes you down the stairs?” Ling Chaofeng was enraged, “Ling Qian, what exactly do you want to do?”

Xiaowan replied anxiously, “A four year old child, what can he do? It’s not him who is pushing me, it’s him …” Xiaowan didn’t know how to explain the second time that she was being held by the throat by an invisible person.
