The funeral was conducted in a low-key and simple manner. Jiang Nian buried his second brother and his family of three in the ancestral grave.
The neighbors all came to pay their respects at the funeral out of respect for him and his girlfriend.
This clearly shows how bad the reputation of the second brother's family has become over the years.
Jiang Yue stayed at her parents' home for three days, and then the carriage, just like when she came, was packed full as she embarked on her journey home.
Goodbye, Grandma!
Jiang Juanjuan sat on her grandfather's shoulders and waved her hands vigorously.
Goodbye~
Jiang Yue waved her arms and got into the carriage.
Goodbye, Uncle and Aunt!
Goodbye, come visit sometime!
"Yes, definitely!"
"You brat, next time you come, be sure to bring some good wine!"
"Okay, Uncle, I'll definitely drink with you again until you've had your fill!"
"Hmph, you brat~ Take good care of yourself, and take good care of your mother~"
"Hoo~"
"Qingyun, be a good official!"
"From the Qingyun Society."
"Take care of yourself, girl!"
......
A brief separation is for a better reunion.
Back in Wujiaji, home.
The group spent a day tidying up at home, and then another day spending time with their families visiting their hometown.
Parting is imminent.
So much reluctance turned into a single sound—
treasure.
Jiang Yue wants to take her daughter back to Yunshui County to continue her infrastructure construction business.
Qingsong is going to take his wife and son back to Jinling to continue dominating the hot pot industry!
Qingyun is taking his beautiful wife back to Jinling, to navigate the ups and downs of officialdom...
Qingyun and Daxue chose to stay, guarding their old home and waiting for their mother and younger siblings to get tired and return home for a reunion.
Despite his son's pleas to stay, Wu Yongfa, along with his wife, continued their journey back to Yunshui County.
He goes wherever he is needed!
Even if he dies, he will be like Mount Tai!
Wu Guanghua gritted his teeth and discussed it with his wife. They decided that if things didn't work out, they would move the whole family to live with his parents during the summer to take care of them.
Anyway, Yin is a minor official in Yunshui County. No matter how minor the official position is, it's still a job!
The couple, Jin and his wife, naturally had no objections, considering their child's future and their filial duty.
Although Grandpa Wu and his wife were reluctant to part with their third son's wife, they knew she was an extraordinary person!
I won't hold my third son's wife back; I'll support her unconditionally!
And so, escorted by guards, Jiang Yue left her hometown, laden with local specialties in carts and wagons...
Looking at the receding scenery, she thought that one day she would also return to her roots and retire in her hometown.

Yunshui County
After the start of spring, the world is filled with the silhouettes of people working.
A girl wearing a straw hat rode a small donkey, carrying a bamboo pole and suspending the donkey along the way.
"Hoo~"
The donkey felt wronged and bared its teeth the whole way.
I can't reach the little apple in front of me no matter what I do, it's so frustrating, it's infuriating!
Seeing that the speed was getting slower and slower, the girl rubbed the back of the little donkey's neck and coaxed it:
"Little Grey, keep going! We're almost at the city gate. When we get back to the princess's mansion, I'll reward you with another carrot."
"Hoo~"
That's a lie. They said the same thing last time, but there wasn't even a single leafy green, let alone a carrot!
"Hehe, I forgot last time, how about I make it up to you this time?"
The girl touched her nose, feeling extremely guilty.
"Hmph~"
The donkey bared its teeth and said, "I'll believe you one last time!"
If the master doesn't keep his promise, the donkey will throw down its load and quit!
"Help, help me!"
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the bushes.
The girl gestured for the donkey to stop, and after identifying the source, she realized the noise was coming from the other side of the bushes.
Do you think she will stop the examination?
No no no~
Her mother had told her many times that she should mind her own business and not get involved in things that didn't concern her.
My mother also said not to pick the wildflowers by the roadside.
My mother also said, "You can't pick up men on the street!"
"Let's go home quickly, we're home now, time to eat carrots!"
Seeing that the place wasn't far from the city gate, Qingyao figured she could just find a patrolling soldier later and ask him to send someone to check.
Since she wouldn't die anyway, she decided not to go down.
"Girl, young lady, save me!"
The man crawled out of the bushes, revealing a handsome face that was outrageously attractive.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
The donkey heard about the carrot and ran off on its hooves.
From a man's perspective, all he sees is a girl in white, her clothes fluttering, riding on a gray donkey, moving incredibly fast, refusing to help anyone in distress!
"Cough~"
Dust filled the air, and he got a mouthful of dust.
The man was furious. He had never been treated like this before, and he felt both ashamed and angry.
"Pfft~"
He coughed up a mouthful of black blood, then his vision blurred and he fainted.
A moment later—
"Hey, who's this? Is he being chased by his enemies? He has so many wounds."
"Where's the life-saving pill the young princess gave us? Give it to him first; saving his life is the most important thing."
"Okay, I'll give it to him right away."
"Let's go get a stretcher and take him back to Huichuntang in the city for treatment."
Okay~
After the two soldiers finished their work, they left the person by the roadside, intending to come back for him after retrieving the stretcher.
In that brief moment, a carriage quickly appeared on the road—
"Da da da~"
The clear, crisp sound of hooves rang out, and just as the wheels were about to speed past, a delicate, sweet voice came from inside—
"parking."
"Yes, sir!"
"Hmm? There's a young master injured on the ground. Go and carry him to the carriage."
"But Miss—"
"Hurry up and go."
"Yes, sir!"
......
The gears of fate begin to turn...
