Chapter 694 Magistrate Xu's Little Assistant 49
The matter of Governor Lin came to an end, and Song Jinhuan heard the news from the steward.
The death was too easy.
They should experience the long journey and harsh environment on the way to exile, and then die from overwork.
Otherwise, how can we face the innocent people?
However, the truth has finally come to light.
Song Jinhuan thought Xu Qingyuan would be free soon, but she still couldn't see him.
So he simply wrote a letter and entrusted it to Xu Qingyuan.
That very night, a letter appeared on Xu Qingyuan's desk.
The letter inside was spread out and placed on the desk.
Xu Qingyuan blinked rapidly, tears streaming down her face.
The letter contained nothing more than Jiang Shiye's plan to return to his hometown.
But Xu Qingyuan felt that this was just an excuse to move the graves of his elders, and in reality, it was just a way to escape from trouble.
Princess Fude's private affairs with men and women were reported to the Emperor.
The emperor was furious.
Xu Qingyuan seized the opportunity to suggest sending her to the border region for a marriage alliance.
The person left this morning.
For nearly ten days, he had not spoken a single word to Master Jiang.
I learned from the housekeeper that the other person was eating and sleeping well, so it seems that he was the only one who was suffering.
Master Jiang didn't care about him at all!
The man's tears flowed more and more; he felt an intense pain in his heart, yet he didn't know how to face it.
He secretly took a deep breath. Rather than arguing with himself in private, he decided it was better to ask directly and clearly.
Even if I die, I want to die knowing why.
Song Jinhuan was packing her bags, thinking that she would get a reply from the housekeeper tomorrow.
I just wanted to bring more and more things, and before I knew it, I was busy until late at night.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Song Jinhuan was startled and cautiously asked the door, "Who is it?"
"I."
A familiar voice came from outside.
Song Jinhuan's eyes crinkled into a smile as she jogged to open the door, cheerfully greeting him as "Sir." But her words trailed off as she saw the man's red eyes and tear-streaked face.
Then she became cautious, "Sir, please come in quickly."
Xu Qingyuan strode in without any hesitation.
Song Jinhuan quickly closed the door, wondering if Xu Qingyuan had encountered anyone on his way here.
"Sir, has something happened?"
Xu Qingyuan immediately noticed the almost-packed bundle, and tears welled up in his eyes.
He asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you really planning to leave?"
Song Jinhuan nodded without hesitation.
Xu Qingyuan's heart sank, and he was once again dissatisfied with the emperor's bestowal of marriage.
The man sat preparing, his eyelids drooping slightly. His fair skin was stained with tears, and the corners of his eyes still bore the red residue from wiping away tears.
They look particularly pitiful.
Song Jinhuan noticed that something was wrong with him, but she never thought that his crying was related to her.
"Because of the case of suppressing bandits, my father and elder brother both had nameless tombstones erected. Now that this matter has come to an end, I must move them back to the ancestral hall and add their life stories."
Xu Qingyuan remained silent for a long time before asking in a very soft voice, "Then... will you come back?"
He was worried that the other person had overheard his question.
What I fear most is that the other person's answer will be that they will never return.
Song Jinhuan didn't hear clearly, only saw his lips touch twice, so he leaned over and asked, "Sir, what did you just say?"
The man's reddened eyes glanced at her quickly, and he repeated himself again in a rapid and indistinct voice.
This time, Song Jinhuan finally understood.
"Of course, didn't the Emperor also bestow a marriage upon us?"
