Mrs. Wu watched Wanruo leave and nodded with satisfaction: "What a clever and skillful girl, filial and understanding."
Lin Han said happily, "Of course I am. From now on, I will be your daughter-in-law."
Wu remembered something and lowered her voice to ask, "I heard that her family used to be merchants. Even though her father met with misfortune and passed away, she should have some wealth, right?"
"Mom, why are you asking this?"
"She doesn't look like someone from a poor family. She even has the money to open her own pharmacy. She has some family background that could help you. You're new to the officialdom, and you need money to pay for things. She has no parents, so she has to rely on you. Who else can she rely on if not you?"
"Even if she has it, it's her dowry. As a man, do I have to worry about my wife's dowry?" Lin Han said dissatisfiedly.
"That's not what I meant. You two are now one, married couple. You are inseparable."
"Don't worry, Mom."
"Okay, okay, I won't worry about it. Just get married as soon as possible and let me have a grandson soon. Then I'll be at ease."
Wanruo brought out some hot water, soaked a cloth in it, and applied it to Wu's eyes. She then chatted with Wu for a while before leaving with Lin Han.
Wanruo covered her face with a veil before going out. To be cautious, she didn't dare to show up in public.
Lin Han couldn't hide the joy in his eyes: "Wanwan, my mother said she likes you very much and wants us to get married as soon as possible."
Wanruo smiled and said, "Yeah."
"I still have to figure out which auspicious day would be the best. Once I've set a date, I'll post it!"
There was still some worry in Wanruo's eyes. If she posted the message, it would be an announcement to everyone that Lin Han was going to get married.
Lin Han saw her worry and said quickly, "Don't worry. I just received a letter from a good friend I met in Beijing yesterday, saying that the Xie family has buried your body in Huaiyu Mountain. There is no doubt at all."
Wan Ruo asked in surprise, "Really?"
"Come on, Wanwan, I told you I didn't care. You always think too much."
Wanruo felt a little relieved and nodded gently: "That's good."
Lin Han felt a little guilty: "I'm busy now too. The previous county magistrate left me a lot of trouble. I'm too busy to handle it and I don't have time to accompany you."
"That's exactly what's important. I have nothing to offer you. Just focus on your own affairs. You can keep the wedding simple."
"That's not right. The wedding still needs to be celebrated in a lively manner. After all, it's a big wedding." Lin Han said with a smile.
She thought for a moment and continued, "My family used to be merchants. After my father passed away, he left behind a fortune of three thousand taels of silver, two farms, and the deeds to a hundred acres of medicinal fields."
Lin Han was stunned. He didn't expect her to say this suddenly.
"Ajin and I have discussed this and have decided to give Ajin one thousand taels as my dowry and bring it to your house. This will help you out if you need anything in the future. Besides, the farm and the medicinal fields are still in the hands of my stepmother. I'm thinking of finding someone to sell them after a few years when the rumors have died down. I'll then keep half for Ajin and the other half for me."
Lin Han hurriedly said: "Wanwan, did you hear what my mother said? I don't want your money..."
Wanruo smiled and shook her head: "Since we are not going to get married, we are husband and wife. It is reasonable for me to tell you these things. If your official career goes smoothly, won't I also enjoy the happiness?"
Lin Han held her hand and said, "Wanwan, I'm so lucky to marry you."

"Son, this is the list of people who were naturalized within the past three months sent by Qingzhou Prefecture."
Qing'an brought a bunch of books to Xie Xianyu's desk.
Xie Xianyu immediately started flipping through the pages: "What about the other prefectures?"
"It has been delivered. Lord Su has already arranged for people to speed up the investigation. He said that a conclusion will be found within three days."
"Have the people in Qingzhou investigated?"
