The carriage drove away.

Su Zhiruan patted the piled-up boxes and couldn't help but sigh, "Life should be like this, with a house, a few acres of good land, a good man, and ten thousand taels of gold."

Ji Xiaoyuan laughed dumbly, "The important thing is the last sentence."

"Of course not," Su Zhiruan leaned on his shoulder, "The most important thing is to have someone who can accompany you until old age."

The carriage traveled for a day and a night and finally returned to the county.

When they got off the carriage and walked into the restaurant, the waiter was so frightened that he dropped the dishes in his hands to the ground.

The shopkeeper started to curse, "What are you doing?"

“Boss…Boss…you, you look—” The waiter was so scared that he couldn’t speak coherently.

The shopkeeper looked towards the door, and then the abacus in his hand fell heavily to the ground.

Then he immediately knelt down and shouted, "I am blind!"

"See—"

Seeing that he was about to shout, Ji Xiaoyuan quickly lifted him up from the ground.

"Long time no see, shopkeeper, and waiter."

"Madam?!" the waiter exclaimed.

At that time, they also guessed the identities of the boss and his wife, but later when the court welcomed their boss back with great fanfare, they learned that the owner behind their restaurant in a small county was actually the regent, and their wife who disappeared halfway was actually Princess Jialan.

Although they haven't come back for many years, I have heard a lot of rumors.

Su Zhiruan looked at the familiar restaurant, but after more than ten years, the owner had more wrinkles on his face and a lot of white hair, and the waiter had become more mature.

"I came here to see you. I see that you are all well. We will go back to the village first." Ji Xiaoyuan waved to them while holding Su Zhiruan's hand.

"Have some tea before you go! Let the chef prepare a delicious meal to welcome you!" The shopkeeper chased after him.

But Ji Xiaoyuan and the others had already gone far away.

After returning to the village, the whole village was shocked.

Everyone walked out of the house, but when they saw Su Zhiruan and Ji Xiaoyuan, they did not dare to approach them. Instead, they knelt down and bowed, "You common people—"

"You don't have to be so polite." Su Zhiruan helped the village chief up. "We were ordinary people in the village before. Now that we are back here, we are still ordinary people."

"Just live your life as usual, and treat us as an old couple." Ji Xiaoyuan helped an elderly man up.

Cuihua saw them in the crowd. She wiped her hands on her apron, looking a little nervous and humble.

She has been married for a long time, and her boyfriend is my childhood sweetheart. Although she has done many wrong things, they have watched her grow up in the same village and know her inside out. After getting married, she no longer has those extra worries and focuses on taking care of the family. Now her children are all married.

After learning of Ji Xiaoyuan and Su Zhiruan's identities, the villagers acted with trepidation and even sent them a lot of food.

When the county magistrate and the prefect heard the news, they rode their horses at full speed from afar to see them.

"Will you feel uncomfortable?" Ji Xiaoyuan peeled an orange and put it to Su Zhiruan's mouth, looking at her beautiful profile.

"No," Su Zhiruan bit the orange and shook his head, "This is a good day!"

There are many trivial matters in the palace, and she has to take care of the children. She has to dress up all day long and dress up every now and then. Now, she has ten thousand taels of gold, and if she runs out of money, a lot of people will come to her.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Plant some crops you like in the fields, raise chickens, ducks and geese in the yard, research new dishes if you want, go to a restaurant for a meal if you don't want to cook, buy snacks and clothes at will, and you don't have to spend an hour dressing up.

I can do whatever I want at night, and it’s okay to sleep until noon during the day. Occasionally, I go hunting in the mountains with Ji Xiaoyuan, catch a few rabbits, and bring back small fish, shrimps and crabs for a snack.

Not even a god would change this life! The villagers were a little scared at first, but after getting along with them for a long time, they found that they really wanted to live an ordinary life, so everyone got along more harmoniously and happily.

Cuihua felt guilty and often sent her homemade food to Su Zhiruan. She was a good cook and over time, she and Su Zhiruan became friends.

The life of a couple with money and free time is free and happy.

Although outsiders do not understand why they would abandon the luxurious life in the palace and live in seclusion in the countryside, for Su Zhiruan and Ji Xiaoyuan, this is the life they have always dreamed of.

One can tune the zither and read the golden scriptures, without being disturbed by stringed instruments or being tired by paperwork.

What's so shabby about it? (End of this chapter)
