She had set up such a huge scam and faked her own death to get away, just to come to such a remote and shabby place to marry Lin Han?!
Her former obedience was a lie, her promise to stay by his side was a lie, and her red eyes when she said he was the only one she had was also a lie!
Now that I have seen with my own eyes the loving scene between her and Lin Han, I realized how ridiculous I am!
From the very beginning, she had made up her mind to leave him.
His chest felt like it was about to explode, and his clear eyes were covered with frost, full of eerie light.
Qing'an, who was standing beside him, had a stiff face and held his breath, not daring to breathe. He had followed the eldest master since he was a child, and this was the first time he saw him being deceived. His cousin was afraid that she would really die without a burial place this time.
Lin Han was still unaware and said happily, "Wanwan, let's go eat first. The food at Zuixianlou in this town is amazing, and there will be a lantern riddle guessing game in the restaurant tonight. It's going to be lively."
"Okay." Wanruo agreed and followed Lin Han to Zuixianlou.
There is only one big restaurant in Shiya County, which is Zuixianlou. On a day like today, Zuixianlou is the most lively. There is a stage in the lobby on the first floor where an opera is being performed. Various lanterns are hung everywhere in the lobby. Anyone who guesses the riddle can take the lantern with him.
"Dear guests, please come in!" The waiter greeted them warmly and invited them to sit at an empty table in the lobby.
Lin Han ordered a few signature dishes and a pot of good wine.
Wanruo supported her chin with one hand and watched the actors singing on the stage, feeling a rare sense of comfort.
"This troupe performs very well. How about we invite them to perform at our wedding?" Lin Han asked her excitedly.
Wanruo nodded gently: "You decide."
"Our wedding will definitely be a grand one. The other six county magistrates will also be here to show their support. Even Mr. Zhang, the richest businessman in the county, has sent a gift."
Lin Han's face was beaming. He had studied hard for twenty years before finally achieving his current success. Even though he was just a small county magistrate in Shiya County, he was still a very important person.
"You are a new official, and you will take care of merchants like Mr. Zhang. However, you'd better not accept any expensive gifts. You are a new official and don't know the details, so it's better to be cautious." Wanruo reminded her.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on." Lin Han said with a smile, and saw the rabbit lantern hanging by the window: "Let me take a look at this lantern riddle, and I'll definitely get you a lantern."
Lin Han immediately got up and went to look at the lights.
Wanruo was about to follow and see, but she inexplicably felt someone's gaze on her, which made her shudder. She subconsciously turned around to look, but only saw a group of diners drinking and chatting happily in the noisy lobby.
She frowned, perhaps she was overthinking it.
The waiter came out of the kitchen with a tray and was about to serve the dishes when he was suddenly stopped by someone.
"Young man, please help me." Qing'an took out a gold ingot and handed it to the waiter.
The waiter's eyes lit up immediately. Such a big ingot of gold was more than he could earn in his entire life.
"Sir, what do you want me to do?" the waiter smiled shyly.
Qing'an replaced the pot of wine on the tray with another one. The waiter froze for a moment, looking at the gold right in front of him, but still said nothing.
The waiter took the gold and served the dishes as usual.
"The food is here." The waiter quickly placed the food and wine on the table. "Enjoy your meal, sir!"
Lin Han had just given Wanruo a rabbit lantern and pulled her to sit down. "This rabbit lantern is nice, but it's not sophisticated enough. It can't compare to the ones in Yanjing City."
Wanruo took the rabbit lantern and looked at it carefully, then smiled and said, "It's very beautiful. I'll take it back and hang it in the shop."
Lin Han happily picked up the wine jug, poured two glasses of wine, and raised his glass: "Wanwan, come on, let's have a drink!"
Wanruo also picked up the wine glass. Although she didn't drink much, there was nothing wrong with having a glass or two occasionally.
They clinked their glasses and then drank the wine together.
"This crucian carp soup is the signature dish of Zuixianlou. You should try it." Lin Han attentively served her the soup.
Before he could even finish his bowl of soup, a yamen runner came rushing over: "Sir."
Lin Han paused: "Why did you come here?"
