Chapter 430 Return to Huizhou

Song Jin looked at Xing Lun.

Xing Lun understood what he meant and said, "I'll go and inquire about the source of the medicinal herbs." After saying that, he stood up politely, bowed to Song Jin and took his leave.

Song Jin watched Xing Lun leave.

While eager to know the source of the medicinal materials, she couldn't help but think of the news that had been passed to her in recent days. Due to the distance, there would be a time lag for the news to reach Song Jin.

Most of them are about the capital.

For example, the rebels attacked the palace, slaughtered the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and killed the prince and other royal relatives. It is rumored that Qin Qi'an and others rescued the emperor and quelled the unrest in the city in one fell swoop. The rebel leader was captured and committed suicide at a banquet in Jiangnan.

In addition, there was a piece of news that shocked the Great Xia Dynasty.

Emperor Mingcheng passed away and abdicated to Prince Rui!

The imperial edict has been sent to the northwest, waiting for Prince Rui to return to Beijing to ascend the throne.

The truth of the various rumors is still unknown, but the abdication of Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty is a fact, and the government offices of various prefectures have already posted notices to announce it to the world.

This brutal battle resulted in both the former Crown Prince and Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty being defeated, the rebels retreating to Zhangjiawan, and Prince Rui having to return to Beijing from the northwest to clean up the mess.

This is a good thing for Song Jin.

At least the group of people chasing them no longer dared to be so blatant.

"Is mother feeling better?"

Niu Niu came in with a bunch of freshly picked pink crabapple flowers.

Song Jin replied gently: "Much better, my daughter still cares about me."

"Hmph, you know Niu Niu will be heartbroken, why don't you get better soon." Niu Niu pouted her little lips and blinked her big eyes. She was so cute when she pretended to be angry.

This made Song Jin laugh.

Niu Niu turned her little head away and came in seriously holding the crabapple flowers.

Walked to the vase on the shelf.

The slightly withered branches were removed and fresh crabapple flowers were inserted awkwardly and carefully. The gorgeous pink flowers brought a touch of vitality to the room, making people happy.

Song Jin watched his daughter arrange flowers carefully.

This time, the accident scared her daughter, and now she is very clingy with her every day.

A child crying was heard from next door, followed by the voice of a woman coaxing the child.

Song Jin said to Niuniu, "Niuniu, ask your aunt to bring your brother to mother."

"Okay, mom."

Niu Niu put down the crabapple flowers in her hand and ran to the next door.

After a while.

A young woman came in holding Guaiguai.

This woman was a servant in a country gentleman's house. She had given birth to two children and was good at taking care of them. Song Jin was in poor health and the doctor said he should not overwork, so the woman was asked to take care of the children temporarily.

Song Jin took his son.

After a while, the little guy stopped crying.

Most of the day had passed.

In the evening, Xing Lun came back from outside, smelling of alcohol, obviously from socializing with people.

Send away the servants in the house.

Xing Lun told Song Jin about the results of his inquiries. "I asked Boss Pu about the medicinal herbs. He said that he bought them from a medicinal herbs dealer through an acquaintance."

The country gentleman's surname was Pu.

Xing Lun has already asked someone to investigate, "It will take a few days to get the results."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

No matter how anxious Song Jin was, he had to suppress it.

Xing Lun talked about the situation outside again. "The government seems to be investigating suspicious people, and the household registration check is very strict. It's not easy for us to go out now."

"Are you investigating the rebels?" Song Jin immediately grasped the key point.

Xing Lun nodded. "There are spies of the rebels lurking in various prefectures, and some of them are causing chaos everywhere. When I was drinking with Boss Pu, he mentioned that the imperial court had just issued an official document requiring prefectures in various places to conduct strict investigations. Officials who fail to take action will be charged with treason."

Strong medicine cures illness, severe punishments put an end to chaos.

Generally speaking, people with something to hide will not be willing to be locked up and interrogated, and will most likely resist if they encounter officers and soldiers.

Song Jin's luggage was lost earlier, including his identity documents.

Xing Lun did have a household registration. It was a household registration for a family of four that he had purchased from a local for a large sum of money in order to hide his identity and escape being hunted down. He also had a permit for visiting relatives issued by the government. They came to Anqing Prefecture using a fake household registration.

Song Jin did not return to Huizhou, but went to Anqing Prefecture next door instead, not only for safety reasons, but also because her body really needed to rest. Although Qin Chi would send someone to protect her when she returned to Huizhou, Song Jin did not forget that she and Qin Chi had divorced, so she needed to avoid suspicion to some extent.

"Boss, I received news from Lou Ruhan. They said they found our lost luggage, and also..."

Xing Lun raised his eyes and noticed Song Jin's expression.

Song Jin saw Xing Lun hesitated to speak, with a heavy face, and a bad premonition rose in his heart. Lou Ruhan and others stayed to find Wei Yuan and others. Looking at Xing Lun's expression, he knew that it was a bad omen.

Song Jin asked sadly: "Didn't anyone escape?"

"No……"

Xing Lun was also in a bad mood.

Song Jin was still recuperating from illness, and he didn't want to talk to her about this matter, but he did not forget his identity. As a subordinate, it is a taboo to act on your own.

It took nearly half a month to recover from the injury.

Song Jin's injuries had improved a lot, and he heard rumors from the capital. General Pei Xin led a large army to come back to help, and the remaining rebels were leaderless, so they recaptured Zhangjiawan without much effort. Now the situation in the capital is stable, and they are just waiting for Prince Rui to return to Beijing.

However, the envoys sent by the court failed to negotiate with the Jianning rebels. Rumor has it that the court is mobilizing a large army to go south to quell the rebellion.

These things had nothing to do with Song Jin, but he was a beneficiary. Ever since the news of the cessation of the turmoil in the capital spread, the group that was chasing Song Jin disappeared.

Song Jin decided to set off immediately.

It took two or three days to return to Huizhou.

He did not return to Yi County, but stayed in She County. He did not show up to meet the Qin family, but sent Niu Niu and Guai Guai to the hot spring resort in Huangshan, where his eldest son, as well as Qin Lao Da and Li were.

The person who sent the child over was Xing Lun.

Song Jin finally had some contact with her family, so she wanted to investigate. It was inconvenient to travel far with the child, and it was also safer for the child to be with his grandparents than with her, the mother.

The experience of being hunted made Song Jin realize a fact: her current ability was limited, and she was not sure she could protect the child. Qin Chi had really overestimated her by entrusting the child to her, and she had even overestimated herself. Otherwise, she would not have lost an unborn child.

"Uncle Xing, isn't mother coming with us?"

In the carriage, Niu Niu asked Xing Lun with big, puzzled eyes.

Xing Lun touched her head with his big hand, "Your mother has important things to do."

"Can't you take Niuniu with you?"

Niu Niu doesn't want to be separated from her mother.

Xing Lun said patiently, "No, your mother loves Niuniu and can't bear to see her suffer with her. When she finishes her work, she will come back to find Niuniu. Uncle knows that you are a sensible child. You will definitely understand your mother's painstaking efforts, right?"

"I know, I can't drag my mother down."

When Niuniu said this, she looked depressed and said, "Why can't Mom let Dad do it when she has something to do? Isn't Dad a high-ranking official? He has a lot of things to do, and Mom can do more than him."

"It's not that I don't want to find you, it's that your father is too far away in the capital." Xing Lun did not discredit Qin Chi in front of the child, "Also, he has more important things to do. Niuniu will understand when she grows up."

Niu Niu pouted and looked very unhappy.

Why do adults have so many things to do? When the carriage stopped.

Xing Lun got off the car with the two children.

There were already people waiting outside. Before sending the child over, they had already informed everyone in advance. Helian Pu arranged for someone to come down the mountain to pick them up, and Boss Qin and Li knew to follow.

Xing Lun handed Li a letter, "This is a letter from our boss to the two elders."

Li took it and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, bye."

Xing Lun bowed and took his leave, then left quickly with his men.
