Lin Han drove the carriage, looked back at her, and said with a smile: "Yes, we will go to Shiya County to settle down first. Shouldn't your brother be here by now?"
Wanruo instructed the second lady to have someone send Ajin directly to Qingzhou. Maoshan Academy is closer to Qingzhou, so they should arrive earlier.
"Probably."
As they were talking, the carriage arrived at the city gate, and the guards stopped them: "Do you have any documents?"
Lin Han immediately produced the imperial edict: "I have come to take up the post of Magistrate of Shiya County."
When the soldier saw the imperial edict, he immediately became respectful and stopped questioning the others in the carriage. He bowed and said, "Your Excellency, please come in."
Lin Han breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat happy. A small official is still an official, and he is respected no matter what. At least, his twenty years of hard study have not been in vain.
As the carriage drove into the city, a familiar voice was suddenly heard: "Sister!"
Wanruo opened the car curtain in surprise and saw Ajin waiting in the city: "Ajin!"
Lin Han quickly pulled the reins, and the carriage stopped. Wanruo jumped off the carriage and hugged Ajin in her arms: "Ajin, when will you arrive?"
"I arrived a few days ago. I wanted to see you sooner, so I stayed here and waited."
There was another man behind Ajin, a member of the Second Madam's family: "Since I've already sent the person there, I'll leave first."
Wanruo immediately took out some silver and gave it to him: "Thank you for escorting him here."
The man happily took it and said, "My master has given me instructions, and I will follow them. You are too polite, young lady."
"Please keep your promise on this matter." Wanruo reminded.
"Don't worry, Second Aunt has already told you." The man took the silver, got on his horse, and left.
Lin Han got off the carriage, and Wanruo pulled Ajin aside and introduced him: "Ajin, this is Master Lin."
A Jin looked at Lin Han blankly, then at Wan Ruo: "Sister, are you eloping?"
Lin Han's face immediately turned red. He wanted to explain himself, but found that he couldn't, so he could only look at Wanruo.
Wanruo pinched Xu Shujin's face and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
Lin Han smiled dryly and laughed: "Then let's go to Shiya County first."
"Okay!" Wanruo agreed happily, her eyes sparkling.
After they got on the carriage, Xu Shujin whispered to Wanruo, "Sister, are you going to marry him?"
Lin Han, who was driving the car outside, immediately pricked up his ears when he heard this.
Wanruo smiled and nodded: "Yeah."
"Do you like him?"
"Don't ask these questions every day, kid."
"If we leave the Xie family, will we be caught by the Xu family?"
Wanruo touched his head: "Don't worry, the Xu family won't find out about us. We are already dead now."
"Ah?!" Xu Shujin widened his eyes in shock.
"What's more, your brother Lin Han is an official. How could the Xu family have the guts to attack him?"
Coachman Lin Han couldn't help but straighten his back.
Xu Shujin's eyes finally lit up: "Then we can finally have a peaceful life."
"Yes, I've already thought about it. When we get to Shiya County, I'll open a herbal medicine shop to revive the family business! You should study hard and strive to pass the imperial examination like your brother Lin Han."
As Wanruo spoke, Xu Shujin's face was filled with smiles, his eyes full of anticipation, and he grabbed her hand: "Okay!"
Wanruo looked at the sparse street vendors outside the window. This place was not as prosperous as Yanjing City, nor did it have so many exquisite pavilions and towers, nor was it so bustling. Instead, it was simple and quiet.
