Xu Lanyin instructed, "If he really is an official here, try to avoid him."
Zhao Wu shook his head and said, "Not only can I not avoid him, I also have to maintain a good relationship with him." He then comforted, "Don't worry, Yinyin, he doesn't see us brothers very often, and we have changed a lot, so he won't recognize us. However, I will still let my eldest brother avoid him. He can't let him find out that we brothers look like the Wen brothers..."
Although Li Luo is Qin Che's legal advisor, he rarely shows up in public and always helps Qin Che handle official business in the back hall of the yamen.
After dinner at Xu's house, Xu Lanyin went straight back to the backyard, and Zhao Wu went to Li Luo's room to discuss things.
Xu Lanyin had just finished washing up when she heard Zhao Wu's hurried footsteps outside. He walked in with a small note in his hand, a happy look on his face.
After he dismissed the servants, he said, "My father-in-law sent Ma Zi to deliver a letter."
Xu Lanyin quickly took the note. It said the event was complete, and Xu Qingyan would arrive as soon as possible to take Qin to Beijing. Also, pay attention to Wang Yi.
Now that the matter is done, can Qin regain her status and appear in public?
Xu Lanyin was overjoyed.
To completely resolve Qin's identity, not only did Princess Beiyang and Wang Yi have to agree not to pursue Qin, but Wang Yi also had to write a "letter of release." With this proof, he couldn't go back on his word.
Seeing what happened next, he became a little worried. Xu Qingyan wanted to come and pick up Qin personally, and asked her to keep an eye on Wang Yi, which meant that Wang Yi was being forced to let go, and he was afraid that Wang Yi would get desperate and come to cause trouble for Qin privately.
Xu Lanyin said worriedly, "What should I do? I have to protect my mother's safety."
Zhao Wu said, "If nothing unexpected happens, this matter will be finally completed this afternoon. My father-in-law will immediately send Ma Zi to deliver a letter. Wang Yi is used to a wealthy life and can't afford to travel without sleep. Perhaps he will return before my father-in-law arrives."
This is certainly better.
The two of them reasoned that since Wang Yi had already let go, even if he came to Qin out of resentment, he probably wouldn't dare to hurt her, but was just venting his dissatisfaction to disgust her. Just in case, they asked Qin to stay at the Zhao residence tomorrow.
Zhao Wu had to go to the yamen the day after tomorrow after his wedding leave, excluding one day off. Even if his vacation was over, he would have to ask for more leave to stay at home before Xu Qingyan came back.
The two men went to tell Qin about this, and she burst into tears of joy. Wang Yi had written a letter of divorce, and she was no longer involved with that man. She no longer had to live in fear like before...
She readily agreed to move to Zhao's house tomorrow, and move her two children with her.
That night, Xu Lanyin lay awake, feeling melancholy and reluctant. Qin Yan had transformed back into Chai Qingyan, officially adopted by the Nanyang Princess. Old Master Xu had also moved to the countryside, leaving her no reason to continue living in Ningzhou Prefecture. She would definitely move to the capital to be with her husband. If she went, Xu Lanting and Xu Lanyue would follow.
And here, only she and Zhao Wu are left.
Zhao Wu saw through her thoughts, hugged her and said, "After we find out the truth about my parents and eliminate Wen Yan and the potential crisis, we and my eldest brother will also go to the capital to settle down."
Xu Lanyin sighed, "It's easy to deal with Wen Yan, but it's not easy to get to the bottom of that matter. I don't know how long it will take."
Zhao Wu smiled and said, "I'm out investigating bad guys, and Yinyin is at home having children. With more children, the house won't be lonely anymore."
Xu Lanyin glanced at Zhao Wu and said nothing. Although she also liked children, she had never thought about having more than one...
The next day, Xu Lanting was not allowed to go to school. He would also follow Qin to the capital, and it was not certain that he would stay there forever.
The two children moved into the Zhao family with Qin. Qin lived in the east wing of the third courtyard, while Xu Lanting and Xu Lanyue lived in the south and north rooms of the west wing respectively.
The two children didn't know why they moved, but they thought it was always a good thing to live close to their sister, so they moved there happily.
Qin told Xu Lanting about her life story, and Xu Lanyue was listening.
She only said that her original name was Chai Qingyan, and that she had to leave her family because of her elders' unkindness. She didn't dare to say anything about resisting the marriage. Xu Lanyin added everything. She felt that Xu Lanting should know about his mother's difficulties and the treacherous nature of human beings.
Xu Lanting's eyes turned red after hearing this. He went over and hugged Qin and said, "Mother, I will study hard and strive for fame, and never let you be bullied again..."
The Qin family came as soon as they heard the news. Except for Qin Che who went to the yamen and Qin Ru who went to Jiangnan, everyone came.
Qin Hongyu and Qin Grandma also realized that Qin was actually Qin Che's cousin Chai Qingyan who had "died" many years ago, and the two families were really relatives.
Qin Hongyu has always liked and admired Xu Lanyin. Knowing that she is her cousin, she was so happy that she hugged Xu Lanyin's arm and acted coquettishly.
In the evening, Qin Che and Li Luo, who had just left the government office, came to the Zhao family together.
Qin Che had already heard what Li Luo had said about the Qin family, and his expression was filled with joy.
After dinner, Qin Che discussed things with Qin alone for a while.
Xu Lanyin knew that they should be discussing the relationship between Qin and Xu Qingyan, as well as their future life.
Sadly, they waited until evening but Xu Qingyan didn't return. If that matter had been resolved, Xu Qingyan would have set out, traveling day and night, and would have been home by today. He must have been delayed by something.
The next day was March 12th, and Zhao Wu's honeymoon leave had expired. He asked He Dong to go to the government office to apply for two days of sick leave for him.
With Min Hu away, the Censorate was in the hands of Deputy Envoy Li Da Ren. He suspected Zhao Wu wasn't ill at all, but rather reluctant to let his wife take sick leave, which made him feel a little unhappy. However, he also knew that Zhao Wu had a very good relationship with Min Hu, and heard that his wife's family had extensive connections in the capital, so he agreed.
The four constables sent by Qin Che also moved into the front yard of the Zhao family.
In the afternoon, Xu Lanyin, Zhao Wu, and Qin were chatting in the house when they heard a commotion from the Xu family next door, along with a man's low but slightly hoarse voice, "Chai Qingyan, Chai Qingyan, where are you? Come out here."
The voices of Ding Gu, Yang Yong, and Lu Shi were heard. "Who are you? How dare you break into people's houses? We are going to report you to the police."
"Get out, get out... Ouch, why are you hitting me..."
Qin's face changed. Even after nearly twenty years, she could still recognize that the voice was Wang Ji's.
"Miss Chai, I am honored to meet you..."
"The orioles are singing on the island in the river..."
"Miss Chai, don't go..."
Zhao Wu stood up and walked out.
Xu Lanyin supported Qin and said, "Don't be afraid, mother. That evil man can't beat my second master."
The small gate between the Zhao and Xu families was locked, so Zhao Wu went through the main gate to the Xu family. Two constables stayed at the Zhao family, and two followed Zhao Wu to the Xu family.
As soon as Zhao Wuyi entered, he saw Wang Yi with a gloomy face, standing with his hands behind his back in the second courtyard. Four soldiers and several servants of the Xu family were standing around him. Ding Gu had been knocked to the ground.
Although Wang Yi was forced by his mother, elder brother, Chai Rong, Pu Yuanjie and others to write the "divorce letter", he was still very angry. That day, he brought four personal soldiers to Ningzhou Prefecture to settle the score with Chai Qingyan.
