Mistress of the Mysterious Inn - C238

Xiaowan woke up from her dream. Her daughter was gone, she had gone downstairs to look for her, Third Lady was also gone, her family was suddenly in a mess.

Little Pei flew out and searched for traces of his little sister in the air. As expected, he saw Third Lady holding onto the baby, and was running towards the Baisha River Pier.

But Little Pei could not use his power to stop her, he could not even remind his mother to head towards the Baisha River to look for him, but it was such a coincidence that the whole family decided to split into two, the Aunt Zhang would head towards the town, and the Uncle Biao would lead the Xiaowan to the pier.

“Little Pei, can you watch over little brother at home? Can you do it by yourself?” Xiaowan was extremely worried, but there were really not many people left.

Little Pei earnestly replied, “Mother, I’m looking at little brother. “Quickly get your sister back.”

Xiaowan only had one outer garment on, and sat on the horse carriage with her hair in a mess. Xiaowan also looked around nervously, afraid that she would see them coming and hide in the mountains.

But now, with Little Fei in her arms, Third Lady was boarding a boat at the edge of the dock. With the wind and water being so anxious, the people on the dock said that the next boat would be to the south, so she thought that no matter where she was going, she would first find a strange place to stay. As long as she worked hard and did a few more jobs, she would definitely be able to provide for the children.

But the boat had not arrived, so the child was hungry. Third Lady carried Little Fei to a place where they could hide from the wind and untied her clothes to feed her.

But just as she finished feeding, when she tied up her clothes, she heard the people on the pier behind her shouting, “Uncle Biao, you’re here. Da Qing is at home cutting rice today, he’s not here.”

Third Lady’s heart tensed up. She hugged the child and wanted to hide, but Xiaowan jumped off the carriage and saw her daughter’s bright red cradle. She shouted, “Third Lady …”

Seeing that they were going to snatch the child back, Third Lady ran towards the river with the child in her arms. Xiaowan and Uncle Biao immediately chased after them.

Third Lady was forced into a dead end. She jumped down from the Baisha River and stood on top of the huge rock by the river.

Xiaowan immediately stopped and did not dare to move forward. The people on the wharf surrounded them and spoke at the same time, no wonder this little woman was so secretive, daring to steal Ling Xiao Inn’s child.

“Third Lady, give the child back to me, I beg you.” Xiaowan begged, “No matter what you want to do, I’ll promise you anything. I’ll let you be Little Fei’s wet nurse, okay?

The Third Lady shook her head and cried, “You all despised me, I heard everything. You all despised me … “If you weren’t sick, you wouldn’t have let me touch your child. I know …”

“I’m sorry, it was my fault.” Xiaowan looked at the rushing river, and thought that Little Fei might drown in it, her heart felt as though a knife was being twisted, and she continued to beg, “No matter what, do not hurt my child, I beg of you. Third Lady, you love Little Fei that much, you won’t hurt her right? ”

As Xiaowan spoke, she also attempted to jump down, but Third Lady took a step back. Her skirt had already been drenched by the water and she could fall into the river at any moment.

“If you come over again, I’ll jump down. Don’t come over.” Third Lady shouted, “You have three children, and you have so many children. Can you give me one?

“Alright, as long as you don’t jump into the river, you come up first. We can talk about anything.” The Xiaowan comforted her and took the initiative to retreat, “Look, we got out of the way. You should come up first.”

At this time, a boat slowly entered Baisha River. It was the ship that was about to head south, and after unloading a batch of goods there, it would immediately leave.

“The ship is here…” Little Fei, let’s go to the south. ”

However, in order to prevent the Xiaowan and the others from stealing the child, she took off her hairpin and threatened them, “Don’t come near me. If anyone dares to stop me, I will stab the child to death.”

She brought Little Fei and walked towards the dock. No one dared to act rashly, and also surrounded the boat that was slowly walking towards the dock. The people on the boat had already unloaded the goods and were about to set sail again.

Seeing that Third Lady was about to bring the child onto the boat, she ran up to her and kneeled down behind her. She begged while crying: “Let me see the child again, I beg you, Third Lady, let me see the child again.”

Third Lady was startled, Little Fei also seemed to have realised something, and started to twist and cry unsteadily. Third Lady could not be coaxed, and seeing Xiaowan kneeling on the ground, walking towards her, her heart softened, and said: “Then just one look, only one look is allowed.”

Xiaowan immediately stood up and ran over. She tremblingly brought the child in front of her, but she steeled her heart and grabbed the swaddled child.

Third Lady was caught off guard. With both hands empty, she reacted and was about to grab Xiaowan and snatch the child away from him. Xiaowan subconsciously used her strength to push him, and with a scream, Third Lady actually fell off the pedal and into the river.

The Uncle Biao rushed over to protect Xiaowan and Little Fei. The people on the shore shouted loudly, and some of them even jumped into the water to save them.

But the water was too fast, she was unable to catch up with him while swimming. Xiaowan hugged Little Fei and trembled, as she watched him being washed far away by the water.

Uncle Biao protected her child as he watched the scene in the distance with cold eyes. If Third Lady died, what would happen? With so many people watching, it was the Xiaowan who pushed her down. Even if she stole the child first, it was still a life.

“Uncle, I want to go back now.” Xiaowan didn’t seem to care about her life or death. She was worried about his family’s Little Pei and Little Qi, and how she would live no matter what happened to them.

Uncle Biao was not at ease with his child’s safety, after entrusting a few words to the people at the pier, he drove Xiaowan home.

In the tavern, Little Pei was watching over his little brother by the cradle. When he saw his mother return, he immediately rushed over.

After settling down the Xiaowan, the Uncle Biao went back to the town to look for his wife. When he brought the Aunt Zhang back, the people at the dock came and told them that the woman had been washed to a distance of one mile. By the time they fished her out, she was already dead.

Now that a person had died alive, the people on the pier did not dare to not report it to the officials.

Xiaowan guarded her child inside the house. In truth, she had already thought about it on the pier, that if she really killed someone, she would be willing to accept any punishment. It was just that she couldn’t bear to part with her child.

In the evening, someone came to the yamen to take Mu Xiaowan to the yamen to ask. The Aunt Zhang stopped them and said, “The two children are waiting for her to feed.

The Fast Catcher was kind as well, and said: “We don’t want to make things difficult for you guys, but death is a big case, we cannot pretend that nothing happened. We should settle it earlier, it was the woman who stole the children first, and that will not be difficult.”

When Xiaowan heard the commotion, she dressed herself neatly. She had just fed a pair of children to Little Pei, so she helped him clean his face and put on his clothes. She smiled and said: “Little Pei, Mother needs to leave for a few days.

Little Pei’s eyes were filled with tears, he nodded: “Mother, Little Pei is obedient, but you have to come back earlier.”

Xiaowan held him, touched his little body and said gratifyingly: “Little Pei is really a good child, you’re the big brother now. With Little Pei here, mother will be at ease.”

Not long after, she came down from the building by herself, leaving her son to take care of her brother and sister. Aunt Zhang begged Fast Catcher to be merciful, but he had to settle this matter no matter what.

Seeing Xiaowan being taken away by the Fast Catcher, the Aunt Zhang asked the Uncle Biao in panic: “Where is Chao Feng now, when is he coming back?”

The Uncle Biao comforted her: “Don’t be anxious, the Xiaowan did not intentionally kill people. Everyone was watching the scene at that time and Master Zhi County would not make things difficult for the Xiaowan. On the contrary, we should be concerned about how Xiaowan faces her own death. I am afraid that in her heart, she will never be able to let it go. ”

When Xiaowan arrived at the yamen, she asked her a few questions. After all, she was dead and had to report to the prefecture lord to wait, so it was not easy to resolve. She decided to temporarily take care of Xiaowan, but did not make things difficult for her.

Xiaowan was isolated in a cell, but the prison was still a prison. There was a damp, cold, and unpleasant smell, as well as the wails of other prisoners.

She quietly sat on the pile of hay as her chest expanded faintly. When she thought of how Little Qi and Little Pei couldn’t fill their stomachs, she started to shed tears.

“Husband, I killed someone …” Xiaowan curled herself up into a ball, “Husband, come back quickly.”

On this day, after Ling Chaofeng had just left the capital, the Xiaowan told him to pass on the matter of Ershan to his little brother.

He was in a good mood as he went back. At the moment he was by the river and the horses were eating grass. He washed his face with the water. Suddenly he felt pain in his heart and an unexplainable uneasiness came over him.

Ling Chaofeng frowned slightly, he turned and touched the horse, then jumped back onto his horse and whipped it towards his house.
