Lu Wan said, "The case has been closed and the murderer has been caught. Master Shen and I have no reason to stay here any longer. Let's take our leave first." The county magistrate declined and said, "You two can stay for a meal. It will be my way of expressing my gratitude, okay?"

Chen Yan said, "Thank you for your kindness, magistrate. Miss Lu and I have other urgent matters to attend to, and we have been delayed for quite a while recently, so you don't have to keep us here any longer." The magistrate couldn't keep us here any longer, after all, she had other things to do and had been delayed for quite a while by the Jia family case. If he kept us here, it would definitely be a hindrance to her. So he said, "If you two are free next time, I would like to invite you to a banquet again, okay?"
Seeing this, the two men could not refuse and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. We'll take our leave." With that, the two men left. As soon as they walked out of the yamen, they were stopped by people from the Jia Mansion. A servant from the Jia Mansion said, "The eldest young master would like to ask you two to go to the Jia Mansion." Without waiting for the two men to answer, they pushed and shoved each other into the carriage. Lu Wan knew that they had no hostility and did not take action.
When the two arrived at the gate of Jia's mansion, Jia Qiang had already been waiting at the gate with everyone. Jia Qiang happily pulled Shen Yan into the Jia's mansion. A group of women pushed Lu Wan into the Jia's mansion. Only when they arrived at the lobby were they no longer surrounded by everyone. Jia Qiang asked the two to sit down and served them good tea.
Suddenly Jia Qiang knelt down and said to Shen Yan and Lu Wan: "Thank you for helping my father find the murderer. Although the ending is a bit unacceptable, I originally just wanted to fill the loophole for my brother, but I didn't expect him to be so cruel to me next time. If my father hadn't blocked the disaster for me, I'm afraid I would be the one who died."
Jia Qiang's wife also knelt down and said, "We in the Jia family are very grateful to Mr. Shen and Miss Lu for helping us find the murderer."
Lu Wan and Shen Yan quickly helped the two men up and said, "This is what we should do. You two don't have to do this. We can't afford it." Jia Qiang had two boxes of silver brought out and said, "This is a thank-you gift prepared by me, Jia, on behalf of the entire Jia family. It's 20,000 taels of silver in total. Please accept it."
The two people would definitely not accept so much silver, so Lu Wan said: "No, no, we can't accept it, it's too heavy, please take it back."
Jia Qiang said: "This is what you two should do. I will definitely not take it back. You two must accept it, otherwise I will feel uneasy." Chen Yan said: "In this case, let's take one, just to make up for our hard work these days." As he said that, he took out a silver scale from the box.
Seeing this, Jia Qiang said, "Isn't it too little? Let's take some more." Lu Wan said, "No, no, it's enough. If there's more, we will feel uneasy."
Seeing that the two were so determined, he couldn't persuade them anymore, so he said, "You two are really good people. If I continue to persuade you, I'm afraid I'm not a good person."

After reluctantly accepting the reward from the Jia family, the two men were shocked to realize that they had already stayed in this small town for several days in order to handle the case. They had originally planned to leave after the festival, but unexpectedly this incident happened, which delayed them for several days. They didn't know if Xiaojing would be worried, so as soon as the matter was over, they immediately packed up and prepared to go back.
"Thank you, Chen Yan. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't know what to do. I might be treated as a suspect in prison for no reason and spend my whole life in jail." Lu Wan held Chen Yan's hand and said as they walked.
Chen Yan stopped, pulled Lu Wan's hand, imprisoned her in his arms, lowered his head and said: "From now on, I don't want to hear thank you from your mouth. What is there to thank? This is what I should do. If we still need to say thank you in our current relationship, then what am I? Am I your good friend?"
After saying that, he pushed Lu Wan away, crossed his arms over his chest, turned his head away angrily, and no longer looked at Lu Wan. Lu Wan chuckled and poked him, but he twisted his body, looking reluctant to let Lu Wan touch him, as if he would stay here and not leave unless Lu Wan explained clearly, and he would never pay any attention to Lu Wan again.
Lu Wan said coquettishly, "Yan Yan, don't be angry, I swear I will never say these two words to you again, so Yan Yan, are you really not going to forgive me?" Chen Yan was unmoved and still stood there straight, not even looking at Lu Wan. Lu Wan gave a sly grin, rushed to Chen Yan, and kissed him on the cheek with lightning speed. When Chen Yan reacted and wanted to kiss him back, Lu Wan had already run away.
"Chen Yan, how come you are so awesome? Did you actually guess the answer a long time ago, but didn't say it out loud because you had no evidence? Is that right, is that right?" Lu Wan was walking in front, jumping up and down, and suddenly turned back to Chen Yan and asked curiously.
Chen Yan touched her head and said lovingly, "Yes, and you were still a suspect at the time. If I didn't get to the bottom of the matter, how could I clear your name? You would have to stay in the government office. You are my motivation for investigating the case, but I am just a little smart. Unlike you, you are bold and careful. If you hadn't helped me find evidence, I'm afraid no matter how much I said, it would be useless. No one would believe me. So this matter actually has to be attributed to you, the clever little ghost."
"Chen Yan, I find that I like you more and more. What should I do? No, no, if you continue to spoil me like this, I will become arrogant. What if I get you into a lot of trouble? So you are not allowed to be so nice to me in the future." Lu Wan said worriedly while holding Chen Yan's arm.
Chen Yan said without even a second thought: "What's wrong with being arrogant? As long as my wife has me in her eyes, it's enough. I don't care if there are other people around. If anyone dares to bully you and cause you trouble, I will be the first to beat him up and see if he dares to cause you trouble again. I will always spoil you like this in the future. No, no, no, I should spoil you even more. I will spoil you until you can't take care of yourself and you'll become a little fat pig that no one wants. Let's see if you can run away." After saying that, he scratched Lu Wan's nose.
