Extra (IV) The correct way to open the long-awaited reunion

"Ma'am, there's a girl outside looking for you."

"Looking for me? Who?"

"She said her name was Enhua."

When Duan Wanxin heard the name, she stood up and ran out holding up her skirt without any hesitation.

"Enhua!"

Li Enhua originally thought that she would never set foot in Beijing again, but unexpectedly she came back six years later.

"Wanxin."

Li Enhua smiled as she looked at the girl who was running towards her. Even though she was now dressed as a woman, it was obvious that Duan Wanxin was still the same hard-mouthed, soft-hearted and silly girl as before.

"You actually went back to the capital, why didn't you write to me in advance? How have you been these years? Oh, I shouldn't ask so many questions, come in with me first and I'll tell you."

Duan Wanxin walked up to Li Enhua, took his hand and walked into the mansion.

"I just went to your house and met your mother. She told me that you got married. Originally, your mother said to ask someone to call you back, but I thought I'd better come over to give you a surprise."

"Surprise, surprise, such a surprise! Eun-hwa, it's great that you haven't changed at all."

"You haven't changed, you're still the same as before."

Duan Wanxin curled her lips and said, "I'm already married, how could I not have changed?"

Duan Wanxin was born in a marquisate and married a son of the marquisate. Li Enhua looked at her expression and thought she was living a happy life after marriage. However, she still asked, "How is the person you married? I don't even know when you got married."

"No! I didn't marry well at all!" Duan Wanxin complained loudly with tears on her face.

Li Enhua asked worriedly, "What's going on?"

"He is the male version of my second sister-in-law. He controls me in everything! He doesn't allow me to do this or that. It's so annoying."

For the next half hour, Duan Wanxin kept complaining to Li Enhua about how hateful her husband was. At first, Li Enhua was still worried that Duan Wanxin had married the wrong person, but as he listened, he realized something was wrong.

"He controls me even when I eat crabs. I can only eat two at a meal. He controls me at what time I get up in the morning and what time I go to bed at night. He controls me more than my mother. He also makes me read books at home. If I like reading, why would I get married? My mother said that if I can pass the exam and become a government official, she would not let me get married... But I can't read at all. I got married just to avoid reading books. I didn't expect that I would still have to read books after getting married."

"Forget it, let's not talk about him. Do you still remember Jun Ge'er? I'll take you to see him."

"How could I not remember? I also brought colorful balls for Jun'er." As soon as he came in, Duan Wanxin pulled him aside to talk, and his bag was taken away by the maid. Li Enhua didn't even bother to talk about this.

"You made him a ball! You were so kind to him."

"I have made some for you, too. I know you need nothing, so I have made you some purses and some handkerchiefs, all of which I sewed myself."

"I'm not short of it, but others don't do it as well as you do!" Duan Wanxin picked up a purse and tore off her own purse to replace it.

Jun Ge'er is already eleven years old this year and is considered an old dog. He used to be motionless and now he is even less active. But apparently even after a few years, he still remembers Li Enhua who once made colorful balls for him. He came over to sniff and then wagged his tail happily.

"Jun Ge'er seems to have lost a lot of weight."

Duan Wanxin heard this and complained about her husband again, "It's all Lin Yu's fault. He said that dogs get sick if they are too fat, so he asked people to help them lose weight every day, and he didn't allow me to see them! I haven't seen my handsome boy for three whole months, and he's obviously my dog!"

Li Enhua couldn't help but say something fair about this matter, "Actually, your husband is right. Being too fat is really bad, whether it's a person or a dog."

"I didn't say that you can't let it lose weight, but why can't you let me see it?" Duan Wanxin complained, completely forgetting that she would secretly bring dried meat for it every time she came to see Jun Ge'er.

The two of them were playing with Jun Ge'er while talking. Li Enhua asked Duan Wanxin: "Is your mother-in-law not at home? If I come to see you, do I have to go and say hello as well?"

"What are you saying hello to? This is my home, not hers. We don't live together. Lin Yu moved out with me six months after we got married because she always bothered me. My mother even went to our house and had a fight with her."

"Trouble you? Why?"

"Who knows what's wrong with her? But it's okay. I'm not afraid of her anyway. I told her that if she had the guts, she could ask her son to divorce me. Lin Yu was reluctant to divorce me."

"From this incident, it seems that your husband is a good person."

"Hmph, what's good about that? This is the only thing I'm not too sure about. When I first met him, I thought he was gentle and refined, and he shouldn't be as vicious as my second sister-in-law, so I agreed to marry him. I didn't expect that he was not as vicious as my second sister-in-law!"

"By the way, where is your second sister-in-law? I only saw your eldest sister-in-law when I went to your house."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you about this. My second sister-in-law and her husband went back to her parents' home, and my second brother went to marry her, but no one wanted to marry her, but he was so shameless that he wanted to stay there. I forgot to ask you, what are you doing in the capital this time? Will you go back later?"

"I'm here to take the exam. If I pass, I won't go back. If I fail... we'll talk about it later if I fail."

Li Enhua's grandparents passed away one after another. As for her uncle and aunt, they had no obligation to support her. Besides, after what happened before, Li Enhua didn't want to be married off casually, so she simply came to the capital to try to take the examination for a female official.

"I'm sure you'll pass! That's great, we can see each other often in the future!"

…

Qianzhou——

"Sir, the Yunyang County Magistrate requests an audience."

Upon hearing this, Shen Duan put down the document in his hand and said, "Let Mr. Chen come in."

"Master Chen, what's the matter? Sit down and talk."

Chen Fei bowed, sat down and said to Shen Duan: "Sir, I came here today to tell you something... Today someone came to Yunyang County and donated two thousand taels of silver to the county charity hall, but the other party said that the condition was that he wanted to see you, Sir Zhizhou."

"To see me? Who is it?"

Shen Duan was a little confused, and even wondered if his sister had come over and was deliberately playing tricks on him.

"I don't know who this person is. I went to the charity before I came here, and they said that the money had been sent, and they left a letter saying that if you are willing, you can meet at the Lehu Restaurant at the beginning of the day tomorrow at 9:00 p.m."

Lehu Restaurant... Shen Duan's hands clenched unconsciously, "I understand, you go back first."

At 9:00 p.m. the next day, Shen Duan arrived at Lehu Restaurant on time. As soon as he arrived outside the restaurant, someone led him to the private room upstairs.

"You are here, Lord Shen."

"Miss Liang, why are you..." Shen Duan had so many questions to ask, but he didn't know where to start. He simply stood up and thanked Liang Yingkui, "Miss Liang, thank you for the money you donated to the charity."

Liang Yingkui did not respond to this, but instead said: "When I first arrived in Yunyang County, I heard people say that the prefect is devoted to the people and has not yet married. Can I ask why?"

"…Because the person he wanted to marry never came back."

"Really? Where did she go?"

"I'm back today."
