Returning back to her own house, Xiaowan saw a face that was so red that it turned purple in the mirror. She splashed it with cold water from a water basin and felt that it was even hotter.

She pinched her arm with all her might, almost causing a dark green bruise to appear. It was so painful that she was trembling. Only then did she dare to be sure that she was not dreaming. Only then did she dare to believe that she was alive.

God must have made a mistake to turn her into a good person.

Xiaowan was happy, she was like a blossoming flower, anyone who saw her in the future would be able to feel the sunlight shining down from her body. She worked diligently and nimbly to help. She only needed to cover all the work that the Aunt Zhang and Susu did.

Since they shared the same feelings, it was unavoidable for the two of them to look at each other. Now that Ling Chaofeng only had Xiaowan in his eyes, he did not even look at the accounts and did not care about the business anymore. As long as Xiaowan appeared, he would chase after her.

In less than two to three days, everyone could see that Susu did not use the milk to feed the child after eating lunch that day. Da Qing enthusiastically gave up his seat so that Xiaowan and Susu could sit together, but was scolded by his wife, "Are you stupid?"

Da Qing scratched his head in shock and was pulled down by Susu to sit down.

The big sized Uncle Biao took a seat at one side of the table while the Aunt Zhang brought Little Pei to take a seat at the side. Susu and her wife sat side by side.

Just as Xiaowan felt embarrassed, Ling Chaofeng actually pulled her hand in front of everyone and gently said: "Sit down and eat, don't be busy."

The Xiaowan was extremely embarrassed as she lowered her head to dig food into her mouth. She purposely said: "Aiya, shouldn't we prepare a joyous occasion in our shop?"

She choked from the shock and coughed loudly on her back.

When the Xiaowan had calmed down, she pulled her into her embrace and said to his family: "Then Zhang Luo, get up. Aunt, invite a matchmaker for me first."

Xiaowan lowered her head deeply. Beside her, Little Pei delicately asked Aunt Zhang: "Grandma, is Little Pei going to have a mother now?"

Aunt Zhang gave him a heavy kiss and said joyfully: "Got it, got it."

That night, Xiaowan and Aunt Zhang showered together. She rubbed her aunt's back as the two talked about their inner thoughts.

Aunt Zhang said, "Although Chao Feng is not my biological son, I have watched him grow up. It has been more than ten years since he was born, and he has a thorough understanding of the situation. He was a person who would be strict and strict occasionally. He would always keep his word when doing things, but he was a loyal person who knew how to appreciate people's kindness. He is the same as Little Pei, the child picked up by the shopkeeper on his behalf. Now that he has picked up Little Pei and brought him back, it can be considered his inheritance. "

Xiaowan was surprised. "Manager Ling was also abandoned?"

Aunt Zhang nodded her head, "Yes, father and son are both abandoned babies, but look, do they look like one? Some people outside said that Little Pei is Chao Feng's illegitimate child, and we would often joke around and think that it's true. It's really because father and son look extremely similar. "

"It does look like it. Eyes and nose, exactly the same." The Xiaowan laughed.

"Evening." Aunt Zhang said sincerely, "Chao Feng is a good man, he will definitely love you. Can you calm down and stay, so you can be our family's daughter-in-law?"

Even though the Xiaowan s had wanted to marry her to this place, they still tried to persuade her to stay. What virtue or ability did Mu Xiaowan have, and it could be said that she had saved her entire life's fortune here.

"Aunt, my heart is filled with millions of wills, but my stepmother …" Xiaowan said with shame and shame, "She is a very powerful person, I am afraid she will cause trouble for you all."

"Powerful what? He must be someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong." Aunt Zhang said, "If you marry her, you will be our child. What else does she want to do? If she dares to hit you again, I'll tell your uncle to chop off her hand and throw it into the mountains to feed the wild wolves.

"Aunt …"

"Good child, you and Chao Feng are fated to be together. Otherwise, why didn't he pick them up?" The Aunt Zhang laughed, "You have become our wife, from today onwards, you will only live a good life. You should forget about the matters of the past."

"En!" Xiaowan promised. She wished that she would forget about it, wish that she could never think of those days where she was beaten up again. Since the heavens had given her a good life, she must cherish those blessings.

The next morning, the matchmaker came from town. She was dressed in all sorts of clothes and looked happy. She had a sharp tongue and was very quick with her thoughts. When she came in for a cup of tea, she had already figured things out.

After that, he took a look at the inn, as though he was considering how much he should pay. Ling Chaofeng generously took out a bag of silver, which was a full 20 taels.

put down the silver and said: "This is the betrothal gift. I will have to trouble you to send it to the's house for me.

The matchmaker was so happy that she could not even close her mouth. After praising the newcomer to such an extent, she brought along the silver and the carriage driven by the Uncle Biao to the Qingling Village along with the matchmaker and Aunt Zhang.

Inside the Qingling Village, Madam Xu was cursing and swearing about how Xiaowan wasn't home and had to do all the work on her own. Suddenly, a carriage stopped in front of their house.

One had to know that raising horses was something that only wealthy people would do. Although their village was not poor, no one could afford to raise a horse. Naturally, it attracted the villagers to gather around and watch.

Aunt Zhang didn't want to go in the house, so she asked the matchmaker to go out and tell her about it. The matchmaker chattered on and on about the marriage proposal, and then went to the woodshed to take a look.

There was not much wood left in the woodshed, but it was still neatly stacked, and it must have been piled up by Xiaowan before she left home.

Looking further in, although everything on the brick bed was shabby, it was neat and clean. One could see the character of the people who lived here. The more it was like this, the more heartbreaking it was.

Madam Xu naturally wanted face and ran over saying: "What are you looking at? This is a woodshed, it's not meant for humans."

Aunt Zhang snorted with laughter and turned her gaze away. She did not like to see this face at all.

When the matchmaker brought out the one hundred silver as a betrothal gift, the surrounding commoners became excited.

Although the Qingling Village was not poor, nor did any rich or powerful families come, even in Baisha Town, they had never heard of anyone taking a wife and giving them a one hundred silver betrothal gift.

This time, Madam Xu was truly rich.

The greedy woman, holding the silver, was stunned. Aunt Zhang, as the family's elder, coldly said: "We do not need the dowry, the things in the family are not rare either. Since the child is already with us, he will not come back. On the day of the celebration, I will bring you some wine and food to make you happy, and you can also invite the villagers over. As for everything else, naturally, we will have the final say, and Xiaowan has agreed to it. "

"This …" The usually ruthless and fierce person was now stuttering. Firstly, she was pressured by money, and secondly, the mighty Uncle Biao. With her eyes wide open, her legs trembled.

Aunt Zhang naturally did not care whether Madam Xu agreed or not. Coming to gift the betrothal gift was just an act, to make everything fall into place. There was no need to discuss anything else with this person.

The surrounding villagers were all envious of the bountiful betrothal gift. Madam Xu also wanted face and purposely said: "We should leave from our parents' home after getting married. Why don't we send Xiaowan back? I, I will prepare some for her …"

Aunt Zhang smiled faintly: "When children go to our place, they don't have any good parts, so if we don't leave some space for them, we won't have to go against each other, right?"

Madam Xu was startled and took a step back. He watched as they left and sat on the carriage, showing off their might.

The villagers swarmed forward as Madam Xu chased them away with a hundred taels of silver. When she returned to the house, she even pinched her face.

Only the Aunt Wang next door, who had a better relationship with each other, was able to enter the door.

Aunt Wang's eyes were rolling around as she calculated shrewdly, "It was all because of you painstakingly pulling her up that today, it's all yours."

Therefore, the marriage between the Xiaowan and Ling Chaofeng was decided. They should have gone to the town s yamen to register, but their county magistrate of Baisha Town was a fool, and was not in a hurry anyway. On a lucky day, he would directly head over to the Li Prefecture Department to ask Prefect Liang to be his witness.

The Aunt Zhang said happily: "It's a pity that Ershan can't come back to drink Big Brother's wedding wine. Since Lian Yi is pregnant, and cannot endure such a bumpy journey, she should be able to walk on official business. and also cannot leave Lian Yi alone in the capital. "

Right now, in the capital, he had just returned from the Ministry Of Justice and was rushing back to his house in the middle of the afternoon to take a look at Lian Yi.

Seeing that he doted on his wife like this, and was exactly the same as his grandfather in the past, Old Madem naturally liked her more, but unfortunately, such a good grandson and daughter-in-law was unable to enter his home.

Ershan did not care, rather than being the descendant of Bi Family, he was more willing to be Ling Chaofeng's younger brother.

Before he left early in the morning, he would only be back at night. Now, he wouldn't be eating in the Ministry Of Justice, and would return everyday to accompany his wife.

just threw up and laid on the bed to rest. Ershan lightly put his head on her stomach and scolded: "You still can't hear anything can you?"

Ershan hugged her, and asked her if she was feeling well, then shook his head: "I'm very happy everyday, I never thought that I would be a mother so soon, it's all our children."

At this time, a servant came to report that a guest had arrived, and it was the eldest son and miss of Bi’s Mansion. Lian Yi asked Ershan to help her up and they both came out to welcome him.

Outside the hall, Bi Zhenye and Hanxi stood together, behind them were female servants carrying gifts. When Ershan saw them, he said: "You're so busy, and are doing some big work, why are you here."

Bi Zhenye smiled and said, "I knew that you would come back every day at noon, so I took my time to come over as well. On one hand, congratulations to you and Lian Yi. Also, since grandmother is living here, Hanxi and I should come and pay respects. "

As he said that, he brought them to the inner courtyard to see Old Madem. Hanxi supported Lian Yi and asked gently: "Sister-in-law, are you alright?"
