"No, I roughly know who the imposter is, but they are all pitiful people. If the truth comes out, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor. Merit can be earned slowly, but human life is more important than anything else."
As a result, Yun Zhourong still refused, "Besides, I specially taught her the smallpox vaccination technique so that she could help me spread it. This arrangement is fine, and I don't want to become famous."
For those in positions of power, the lives of ordinary people may be insignificant.
But along the way, she personally experienced the lives of ordinary people, who are also living beings, and every life should be respected and cherished.
Besides, she obtained this smallpox vaccination technique from Ji Minxiu; it wasn't originally hers. If she were to fight for it now for a reward, wouldn't that betray her original intention?
"Your righteousness is admirable."
Zhou Renjun was now truly convinced and began to treat Yun Zhourong with new respect. "I hereby guarantee that if there is any change in this matter in the future and I am needed to intervene, please feel free to come to me."
"Alright, then I thank you in advance, sir." Yun Zhourong quickly expressed her gratitude.
At this moment, Zhou Renjun hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but look at Yun Hongcheng and say, "Brother Yun, I really like your daughter and would like to adopt her as my goddaughter. What do you think?"
“Ah, this might not be appropriate…” Yun Hongcheng and the others’ first reaction was to refuse.
They are now criminals in exile; what right do they have to be associated with the prefect?
“Brother Yun, to be honest, I also have my own selfish reasons. My only daughter has a slight intellectual disability due to congenital deficiency and doesn’t have many friends. I’m also worried about letting her easily come into contact with outsiders.”
Zhou Renjun sighed before slowly saying, "I trust my niece Yun's character, and since she is also a physician, I hope that through our interactions, I can help see if there are any ways to improve the situation."
"this…"
Yun Hongcheng hadn't expected Zhou Renjun's family to have such inside information, so he couldn't refuse again. Instead, he looked at Yun Zhourong and waited for her to make her own decision.
"I'm willing." Yun Zhourong agreed after only a slight hesitation.
If they, who are newcomers, could have the prefect as their backer, things would surely go much more smoothly for them in the future.
This was a win-win situation, and she really had no reason to refuse.
"Very well, very well. When we get back, I will hold a family reunion banquet and formally acknowledge you as my daughter." Zhou Renjun was truly delighted and burst into laughter.
Finally, the guests enjoyed themselves and went home.
Back in her room, lying in bed, Yun Zhourong suddenly found it hard to fall asleep.
During her time at the Yazhou military headquarters, she had gotten used to falling asleep to the sound of Ji Minxiu typing on the computer. The extreme quiet now made her feel a little empty.
As she was thinking, she suddenly noticed a light coming from inside the room, and Ji Minxiu appeared in front of her.
"Minxiu, what brings you here?"
Overjoyed, she disregarded the cold, jumped out of bed, and ran to throw herself into Ji Minxiu's arms.
When Ji Minxiu saw that she wasn't wearing shoes, he picked her up and carried her to the bed. "Yeah, I'm used to having you by my side. I always feel uncomfortable working without you."
Yun Zhourong smiled sweetly and brightly, "You think the same way I do. I can't sleep well when you're not around."
"Is that so? Then we really do have a telepathic connection."
Ji Minxiu covered her with the blanket and then took out his laptop. "Okay, you go to sleep. I'll stay with you."
"good."
Yun Zhourong nodded, covered by the quilt and looking at Ji Minxiu's profile, feeling a warmth in her heart. She couldn't help but say, "By the way, today the Prefect recognized me as his goddaughter."
"Oh, then he has good taste."
Upon hearing this, Ji Minxiu stopped working, looked at her, and smiled, "It's his blessing to be able to recognize you as his goddaughter."
"Pfft..."
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhourong couldn't help but laugh, "Everyone thinks I'm the one who's above my station, but you're just talking nonsense."
Ji Minxiu raised an eyebrow and said, "How can this be considered unreliable? My girlfriend is the best girl in the world."
"whee…"
Hearing this, Yun Zhourong felt a sweet warmth in her heart and stopped arguing with him. She changed the subject and said, "By the way, the Wang family's affairs have all come to an end. We'll be setting off back to Qiongzhou Prefecture in two days. Tomorrow we're taking Young Master Song to buy agarwood. Would you like to come along?"
"Hmm, agarwood..."
Ji Minxiu pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, let's go take a look together."
A very important person is about to celebrate his 60th birthday. If we can make his acquaintance, it will greatly benefit his future development.
Perfect timing, the other party likes agarwood.
However, due to overexploitation by previous generations, high-grade agarwood has become rare in later generations. Perhaps he could buy the rare items he wanted in the Dasheng Dynasty.
"Okay, it's settled then. I won't disturb your work, I'm going to sleep now."
The thought of going shopping with Ji Minxiu made Yun Zhourong happy from the bottom of her heart, and she closed her eyes happily.
Looking at the little girl's pretty face under the dim light, Ji Minxiu felt his heart was filled with joy; nothing could be more peaceful than this.
He smiled indulgently and continued typing on the keyboard.
The next day, Yun Zhourong woke up in Ji Minxiu's arms. When she turned her head, she saw the man's handsome face and was momentarily stunned.
Subconsciously, I reached out and gently traced his face, from his eyebrows and eyes to his high nose bridge, and then to his thin red lips. I couldn't get enough of looking at him.
Then, her hand was suddenly grabbed by Ji Minxiu. His voice was hoarse from just waking up. He rolled over and pinned her down. "You like me that much? You even touch me secretly?"
Yun Zhou's face turned bright red, and she guiltily turned her head away, retorting, "Who...who touched you...I just saw a mosquito on your face and kindly chased it away for you..."
Ji Minxiu leaned down, their breaths mingling, and chuckled softly, "Hmm, in this winter, tell me where the mosquitoes come from?"
"Ugh, stop talking! You're so annoying!"
Yun Zhourong was embarrassed and annoyed by what he said, so she started to act spoiled and reached out to push Ji Minxiu's chest, but she didn't notice the man's eyes gradually darkening.
As a result, the man grabbed her hand and sealed her lips with his.
At first, Yun Zhourong struggled subconsciously, but she quickly became immersed in this tender and affectionate moment.
When Yun Zhourong went out to eat, her lips were slightly swollen.
Yun Hongcheng looked at her and asked worriedly, "Ruanruan, what happened to your mouth?"
Yun Zhourong felt incredibly guilty and cursed Ji Minxiu several times in her mind, but she pretended to be calm and explained, "I just forgot to apply lip balm these past two days, and it got a little frostbite."
"Oh, I see. You need to take good care of yourself. Apply it quickly, otherwise your lips will be very uncomfortable if they get chapped." Yun Hongcheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Yun Zhourong knew she had gotten away with it, so she lowered her head and mumbled, "Yeah, I'll put it on after breakfast."
