Chapter 215: Tied Up
Soon, County Magistrate Zhang was tied up, completely different from his arrogant appearance just now.
Qian Wenyuan then said to Constable Li, "Put out the fire immediately! No one in the temple can afford to let anything happen!"
"Yes!" Constable Li responded quickly, feeling secretly proud.
This time it was a blessing in disguise. The wildfire was quickly put out and the people in the Guanyin Temple were finally safe and no longer trapped.
Qian Wenyuan nodded and looked at San Ya again: "Miss, you are frightened. This matter will be thoroughly investigated by me."
Sanya bowed, a smile on her face, "Thank you, sir."
The next morning, San Ya was preparing breakfast in the kitchen of the inn when she suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from outside.
"Saya! Sanya, where are you?"
Sanya almost dropped the shovel in her hand. The sound was from a stone!
She hurried out of the kitchen and saw Shi Tou standing at the door of the inn, looking exhausted and covered in dust.
"Shi Tou? Why are you here?" San Ya asked in surprise, she really couldn't believe it.
When Shitou saw that San Ya was safe and sound, he finally felt relieved. He strode over and held San Ya's hand tightly.
"I heard that you were in danger, so I rushed here overnight." Shi Tou's voice was a little hoarse, and he was obviously tired from the long journey.
San Ya felt warm in her heart, but inexplicably felt a little bitter, "Why did you come all the way here? We are all fine."
"I'm worried."
Shitou looked at her with seriousness in his eyes and thought for a long time, "Saya, I have something to tell you."
Everyone else in the inn gathered around. Feng Lan was also surprised when she saw the stone, and hurried forward to ask.
"Shi Tou, why are you here?"
"Aunt."
Shitou saluted respectfully, then looked at Sanya with a serious expression, "Sanyah, let's find a place to talk alone."
San Ya blushed slightly and nodded. The two of them walked to the small garden behind the inn, and no one spoke first.
Shitou took a deep breath, then looked at Sanya seriously, "Sanyah, I want to make something clear to you."
"What's the matter?" San Ya was a little nervous.
"About the princess." Shitou held her hand tightly. "I know there are rumors that I'm going to marry a princess, but I want to tell you that's all fake. I will only marry one person in my life, and that's you."
Sanya was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, "You, I didn't say anything, why are you so nervous?"
Shi Tou was a little surprised by her reaction, "Aren't you worried?"
San Ya blinked and pretended not to care. "It's not like I don't know you. Besides, even if a princess really likes you, it means I have good taste."
Shitou was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say. "Girl, can't you let me be serious for once?"
Sanya laughed even harder, with a smile on her face, "Okay, okay, I'm listening seriously."
Shi Tou looked at her laughing so hard that her body shook with laughter, and the tension in his heart suddenly dissipated.
He said seriously, "Saya, I want to marry you as soon as possible."
Sanya stopped smiling now. Her face turned red like an apple. She didn't know whether to agree or not. "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"I'm afraid the night will be long and full of dreams."
Shitou said frankly that he had a clear idea, "and this incident made me realize that life is unpredictable. I don't want to wait any longer."
San Ya lowered her head, twisted the corner of her clothes with her fingers, and bit her lip, "But...is it not good to rush like this?"
"What's wrong with that?"
Shitou said softly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, "Our two families have had this intention for a long time, and now we are just moving the time forward."
San Ya thought about it and nodded, as if that was the case. "Then talk to my mother."
Shitou was so happy that he almost jumped up and quickly went forward to hug Sanya, "Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
San Ya rolled her eyes at him, but her eyes were full of sweetness.
The two returned to the inn, and Shi Tou formally proposed to Feng Lan the idea of getting married as soon as possible.
After hearing this, Feng Lan agreed very much and had no objections.
"That's a good idea. We're going to get married sooner or later anyway, so getting it done sooner will save us a lot of hassles."
The two families discussed and decided to hold the wedding three days later. Although it was a bit rushed, it was simple and plain.
At the same time, Xiao Mingye had been locked up in the government jail for several days.
Erya would visit him every day, bring him food, and talk to him, with a faint smile in her eyes.
"Brother Mingye, just hold on for a few more days. I believe there will be results soon." Erya comforted him softly across the railing.
Xiao Mingye looked at her haggard face, his heart filled with guilt, "Erya, don't torture yourself like this."
"I'm fine."
Erya shook her head and didn't take it to heart. "As long as you are safe."
Xiao Mingye held her hand, and his mind became more certain of his thoughts. "Er Ya, when I get out, I want to marry you."
Erya was stunned for a moment, then blushed and quickly pulled her hand back, "What are you talking about?"
"I'm serious."
Xiao Mingye looked at her, his eyebrows narrowed into a line, "I remember all the kindness you've shown me these days, Erya, I want to take care of you for the rest of my life."
Tears welled up in Erya's eyes, and some words were stuck in her mouth, "Brother Mingye..."
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the cell, and the guard came over: "Xiao Mingye, the governor is calling you."
Xiao Mingye and Erya looked at each other, feeling nervous and expectant. They were both a little uneasy and didn't know what to say.
In the hall of the Governor's Mansion, Qian Wenyuan sat upright. After Xiao Mingye was brought up, Qian Wenyuan looked him over carefully.
"Xiao Mingye, after these days of investigation, I have found out the truth."
Qian Wenyuan spoke slowly, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. "You've been framed."
Xiao Mingye was delighted, but still said respectfully, "Thank you for your insight, sir."
"Now, I declare that Xiao Mingye is acquitted!" Qian Wenyuan said, slamming the table.
Xiao Mingye finally breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed respectfully: "Thank you, sir!"
Walking out of the government office, Xiao Mingye saw Erya waiting for him at the door, and the two couldn't help but hug each other.
Xiao Mingye whispered in her ear, "Erya, will you marry me?"
Erya nodded in his arms, her voice as soft as a mosquito, "Okay."
A few days later, San Ya and Shi Tou's wedding was held as scheduled. Like the previous ones, it was simple but lively and warm.
Xiao Mingye and Erya were also discussing and planning to get married in half a month.
Seeing that both of her daughters had found their own homes, Feng Lan felt very relieved.
In this life, she would never let anyone bully her daughters again.
