In the end, it was Officer Huang who broke the deadlock, exclaiming "Impressive!" and the others echoed his sentiments.
Yun Ruochun quickly added:
"Officer Huang, shouldn't that Brother Yu be credited with a merit?"
“He doesn’t need it. As the son of Master Qin, he won’t get promoted much even if he earns merits.”
Officer Zhang spoke without restraint, momentarily forgetting Qin Yu's previous instructions, so the room fell silent again after he finished speaking.
Yun Ruochun was even more shocked. How could she have imagined that Qin Yu was the son of Master Qin? Was Master Qin appointing her as a female constable because of Qin Yu?
Yun Ruochun felt completely terrible. They all knew his identity except her. They were just playing along with him every day, helping him deceive her. Would they look at her like she was an idiot?
Officer Huang quickly pulled Officer Zhang away, and the others also quickly left the scene where a storm was about to break out.
"Chunniang, it's me..."
"Don't speak!"
Yun Ruochun suddenly felt she didn't want to talk to Qin Yu, and even felt very oppressed and awkward being under the same roof as him, and even felt like she couldn't breathe.
She didn't want to stay here for the time being; she wanted to go home. She missed Grandma Yun and wanted to tell her everything that had happened here.
Yun Ruochun left without taking anything, her heart filled with resentment and anger. She hung her name tag on the rest area, walked to the stable, led out 0846, and rode away.
Qin Yu wasn't idle either. He immediately led out a horse from the stable, intending to go all out. He slapped the horse's rump hard, and the horse shot off like an arrow, quickly overtaking Yun Ruochun.
He quickly pulled on the reins, turned the horse around, and stopped Yun Ruochun.
“Chunniang, you are still injured, why don’t you go to Ren’an Hall for a check-up?”
"Don't stop me."
Yun Ruochun led her horse to the right, and Qin Yu immediately stepped back to intercept her.
"Chunniang, calm down and let me explain. I didn't mean to lie to you. I had my reasons."
Yun Ruochun remained silent. She wanted to hear what this man had to say, but since she didn't speak, Qin Yu didn't dare to either. The two remained in a stalemate until Yun Ruochun couldn't take it anymore and finally spoke:
"Say something!"
"Oh, oh, oh, why don't we get off the horse first? It's too dangerous to sit on it."
Yun Ruochun wasn't afraid of Qin Yu using any tricks. Anyway, he couldn't beat her. If he did anything to displease her, she would just punch him and ride away.
Seeing Yun Ruochun dismount, Qin Yu felt a little relieved. He pulled Yun Ruochun aside and made her stand by a willow branch. Suddenly, he became nervous again.
"Chunniang, I really didn't mean to deceive you. This is a long story..."
"Let's keep it brief."
"I like you."
Yun Ruochun was immediately stunned. Her breathing became unnatural, and she couldn't distinguish her left hand from her right hand, or her left foot from her right foot. It wasn't until the willow branch brushed against her face that it seemed to release her from the seal. Her lips trembled, wanting to speak, but she didn't know what to say.
"I like you."
"I...I..."
"I like you!"
"I heard you."
As soon as the words left her mouth, Yun Ruochun's face burned like fire. She hated herself for not having the courage to face it head-on, and turned away.
After Qin Yu finally spoke his deepest thoughts, he was overjoyed. He even wanted to take Yun Ruochun's hand and pour out his heart to her, but he was afraid she was still angry, so he had to give up on this frivolous gesture.
“I’m someone who really believes in love at first sight. That day, when I woke up at the Yun’s house, I went out of my room and saw you chopping wood in the yard. My heart started racing. I said no, but you didn’t even notice anything was wrong and chopped all the wood.”
"Back then, your dazed look made me want to stay by your side for the rest of my life. We were also very destined to meet, and we ran into each other several times. The more we spent together, the more I felt that you were the one I wanted to spend my life with."
"Perhaps it was a blessing from heaven, my mother actually knew your mother, and we were even arranged to be together by them by chance. But who knew that my father would tell me that he had been involved in the Song family affair. I was terrified at the time, and our whole family was terrified."
"Later, it was my mother who suggested that I come to the county government office so that I could get to know that we are not as powerful or scary as you imagine. We are all trying our best to protect the people's well-being."
"The reason you were able to become a female constable is entirely due to your own hard work, which is evident to everyone. It has nothing to do with me, and even less to do with my father."
Yun Ruochun was quite moved. She never expected that the person who held her hand and wanted her to be her daughter-in-law was actually Qin Yu's mother. It seemed that they had known each other for a long time. Fate was truly amazing.
"Chunniang, I am truly in love with you. I have never missed someone so much, worried about someone so much, or been so afraid that she will leave me."
“I’m not young anymore, but I told my mother that if I don’t meet the person I want to marry in this life, I will never get married, even if I become a monk or nun or remain a bachelor. But I’m very lucky to have met you.”
Yun Ruochun's throat tightened. The ugly men she encountered in the village made her think that there were really few good men in the world. Moreover, she was getting old, so she began to think that it was better not to get married.
But now...
"Chunniang, it's me..."
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean'? What's the use of telling me all this? Go talk to my mother."
Qin Yu was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that she had agreed; she had agreed to be his wife.
Qin Yu was so excited that he didn't care about the people passing by. He picked up Yun Ruochun and spun her around. If he hadn't been mindful of his image, he would have shouted it out on the spot.
This was the first time Yun Ruochun had ever been so close to a man. Being hugged, she blushed deeply and quickly slapped Qin Yu twice.
"Are you crazy? Put me down right now."
Qin Yu, intrigued, ignored him and asked again:
"Would Chunniang be willing to marry me? You didn't say that just now."
"You...you put me down right now."
"You go first, I want to hear it."
Yun Ruochun didn't know why, but she felt happy, especially today, and thus she fulfilled this person's wish.
"I do."
"Huh? What did you say? I can't hear you."
Yun Ruochun was shy to begin with, and she couldn't stand Qin Yu teasing her so much that she grabbed his ear...
