Wanruo was stunned for a moment, somewhat caught off guard.
"You should know the relationship between Xie Xianyu and me," she turned her head and looked away, "Lin Han, I lied to you."
Lin Han's face froze slightly: "I know..."
Wanruo pursed her lips and said, "Anyway, congratulations on passing the imperial examination. All your hard work over the years has paid off. With the status of an imperial scholar, you can marry a better girl and don't have to settle for someone like me."
He said hurriedly, "I know you're definitely not willing. You're an orphan without parents, living under someone else's roof. The Xie family is a wealthy family, so how could a weak woman like you resist? If you were really willing, why did you agree to marry me before?"
"I am a poor scholar from a humble family. I am a million miles away from Master Xie. What can I have that is worthy of Miss Xu's deception?"
Wanruo's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her heart ached. She lowered her eyes and said, "Lin Han, don't come to me again. It's no good for you to get close to me now. Xie Xianyu is not an easy person to talk to."
"I know!"
Lin Han said anxiously, "I know, but if we leave Yanjing City and go far away, he won't be able to find you."
Lin Han scratched his head, feeling somewhat ashamed. "Although I barely passed the imperial examination, I was only at the bottom of the list, ranking 80th. A low-ranking imperial scholar like me would definitely be sent out to other places if the court granted me an official position. I can't stay in Yanjing City, and Bayingou is still a remote place..."
Passing the imperial examination and becoming a Jinshi does not necessarily mean that you will be successful. You either need a family background to help you get connections, or you need to have outstanding abilities and be among the top students.
Lin Han had neither of the two, so he could only go to a remote area to be a county magistrate.
"If you are willing, I will take you away from Yanjing City. From now on, the mountains are high and the seas are wide, there is no place you can't go."
Wan Ruo stared at him blankly, with a hint of longing in her eyes, but she still pursed her lips tightly: "You don't have to take such a big risk for me."
"But I also can't bear to see you stay in the Xie family and be bullied. You are an orphan, helpless. He, he must have dared to bully you so unscrupulously because of this."
Lin Han's eyes were filled with anger. "You are a good citizen, not a slave. If you just leave, even if the police are called, they won't be able to arrest you. Miss Xu, I know you want to leave too."
Wanruo clenched her handkerchief tightly, unable to say "no". She really wanted to leave.
"The official from the court will come down soon, and I will definitely take you away!" Lin Han vowed. Without waiting for her answer, he turned around and left in a hurry, as if he was afraid that she would reject him.
Su Yue walked in from the alley: "Miss, isn't what Mr. Lin said what you were thinking before? Now is a great opportunity, why hesitate?"
Wanruo pursed her lips tightly, her expression serious: "I'm afraid of getting him into trouble."
Lin Han finally underestimated Xie Xianyu. Although she was a good citizen, the government had no right to arrest her if she really escaped. But in this world where power reigns supreme, it is up to the powerful to arrest or not. Who cares whether you are a good citizen or a lowly citizen?
Sometimes she really pissed him off, and she didn't dare to think about what would happen to them.
"Is it possible that the girl will give up this opportunity and not leave?"
Wan Ruo's eyes flashed: "No, we must leave. Not only must we leave, but we must also retreat safely and completely to prevent any future troubles."

Xie Mansion.
Jiang Xuejun came to visit again, and this time she brought a pure white Persian cat for Xie Xiuzhu. Xie Xiuzhu was so happy that she hugged the kitten and couldn't let go.
"Sister Xuejun, did you really give me this cat?"
"This is a gift for you. My brother bought it from a foreign merchant when he returned from the border the other day. I thought you would like it."
Xie Xiuzhu was extremely happy: "I love it so much!"
Jiang Xuejun asked again tentatively, "Is the eldest master in the mansion today?"
