Qi Zhao remained uncompromising and refused to take her along.
Ultimately, he really didn't want her to come along; it was just too dangerous.
Jiang Wanwan stared wide-eyed. So all that she said was for nothing?
He's completely unresponsive!
Jiang Wanwan snorted coldly, crossed her arms, and raised her chin slightly, saying resolutely, "Anyway, even if you don't take me, I will go to Anhuai County by myself. This matter concerns the safety of my family and me, and I cannot give up so easily."
She also became tough; since reasoning was useless, she might as well be a bit unreasonable.
Jiang Wanwan stepped on the stirrups and, with a swift movement, mounted the horse. Looking down at him, she said, "Are you coming or not? If not, I'll go by myself."
"You!" Qi Zhao exclaimed angrily.
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean'! Enough nonsense, it'll be dawn soon if we don't go send it now," Jiang Wanwan urged.
Qi Zhao took a deep breath. Given Jiang Wanwan's personality, she was definitely capable of doing something on her own in Anhuai County. It would be better to take her with him so he could protect her along the way.
After thinking it through, he stopped worrying, mounted his horse, and sat behind Jiang Wanwan.
He brought his mouth close to Jiang Wanwan's ear and said through gritted teeth, "I'll take you with me, but if you dare disobey me, you'll be sorry!"
Qi Zhao's hot breath hit her face, and Jiang Wanwan's cheeks couldn't help but burn.
"Okay, okay!" Jiang Wanwan awkwardly turned her head away from Qi Zhao.
"Giddy up!" Qi Zhao held the reins with one hand, squeezed the horse's belly with both legs, and slapped the horse's rump with the other hand.
The horse, in pain, neighed and reared up, charging away—
"Let's go to the dilapidated temple in the county first and find some beggars to help spread the false news about you," Jiang Wanwan reminded Qi Zhao, her head spinning from the horse's jolting.
"No need, I've already made arrangements. We can head straight to Anhuai County."

The sky gradually brightened.
Jiang Jialin woke up early. He quietly got out of bed so as not to disturb his wife, Madam Lu.
Today it was their turn to cook. His wife was already very tired from making mosquito coils, so he wanted to get up early to prepare breakfast so that his wife wouldn't have to work so hard and could sleep a little longer.
Jiang Jialin quickly changed his clothes, walked slowly to the door, grabbed the doorknobs on both sides, and opened the door with a slight effort.
Just then, a light piece of paper fell to the ground.
"That's strange, how come there's paper stuck in the crack of the door?"
As he spoke, Jiang Jialin bent down, picked up the letter from the ground, and then carefully unfolded it.
“These words are from Wanwan!” He recognized them; it was his daughter’s letter.
Jiang Jialin quickly browsed through the letter. In it, his daughter explained everything about the delivery, telling them that they didn't need to send mosquito coils to the county town, as Boss Bai would send someone to the village to deliver them.
She has also made arrangements for the goods from Wanhuofang and Ruixiangju, and the two shops will send people down to deliver the mosquito coils.
After explaining everything, she told Jiang Jialin at the end of the letter that she was going to leave home for a while and that he and his family should not worry, as she would take good care of herself.
She did not disclose where she went.
After reading the letter, Jiang Jialin hurriedly returned to the bedside and woke up Lu, who was still fast asleep.
"Mingzhu, Mingzhu, wake up! Something terrible has happened!"
Madam Lu was shaken awake by Jiang Jialin. Still half asleep, she looked at him and asked indistinctly, "Husband, what happened?"
