Countryside Romance

After dinner, Mu Yun decided to go to the capital.

Lin Jinyan also insisted that he would follow.

The two began quarreling again. Mrs Huang sat on the side and started crying silently. Mu Yun immediately shut her mouth and complied with Lin Jinyan's request.

In the next few days, Mu Yun started to get busy.

She handed over the matters of Lin Ji's snacks to Manager Guo, and left the matters of the Brine Shop to Xue Er to take care of.

Xue Er had the power to allocate two silver taels less than Mu Yun, just in case something happened in one store, but the silver taels were unable to make up for it.

After such a long period of training and Mu Yun's intentional nurturing, Xue Er was already able to stand on his own.

Mu Yun also saw his growing abilities and admired him for trusting him.

Xue Er received Mu Yun's recognition and patted his chest as he gave the military order: If he can't develop the store even better, when Mu Yun returns, he will withdraw from his position.

Mu Yun smiled as she agreed. In her heart, she thought, "This town is only this big, so even if we expand the customer base, there won't be much success. Even if Xue Er couldn't increase the customer base, she wouldn't blame him."

After dealing with the matter of the shop, it was time to find someone to take care of Madam Huang.

Mu Yun and Lin Jinyan discussed a few times and asked Lin Jinyan to interview every village he could trust to see who was more suitable to take care of Mrs Huang.

Because the Lin Clan gave them a huge sum of money, many people came to apply for the position.

Mu Yun and Lin Jinyan went through the test one by one and decided on two people.

At the same time, she also ordered the shop assistants and guards to visit the village from time to time to keep an eye on the state of life of the Huang family. This was a second guarantee.

By the time these matters were settled, Zerg was ready to go to the capital.

On the day before she left home, Mu Yun held onto Huang's hand and handed over some of her savings to the Huang family.

The Huang family refused.

However, she didn't blame Mu Yun for hiding the silver.

After all, the Huang family also came from the same family as their daughter-in-law. Knowing that their daughter-in-law had some money was the only way to protect themselves. At the same time, she also knew the importance of private money. Seeing Mu Yun take it out made her feel even more touched.

Unable to refuse Mu Yun, she took back half of the silver and said,

"I know you're considerate. But you still have to keep some of this silver. "I'm an old man, and I'm just holding onto my family's silver taels. I won't lose any money no matter what, but you will definitely have some to spend on the road later on. Don't give me all of it."

After Huang Family finished talking to Mu Yun, they turned their heads to look at Lin Jinyan.

She lamented. In the blink of an eye, that child who seemed to be acting like a spoiled child in her arms had grown to such a height that he was able to prop up the heavens and support a portion of the Lin Clan's land.

Mrs Huang looked at him and could not help but cry.

Although it had only been a few months, she still didn't want her son to leave.

He pulled Lin Jinyan's hand, placed it together with Mu Yun's hand, and said:

"I'm handing Mu Yun over to you. You have to properly protect her and not let her suffer any grievances. You two husband and wife must work together to solve your problems. Don't be impulsive and let the other person worry. "

Lin Jinyan nodded and instead instructed Huang Clan:

"Mother is the one who shouldn't worry us. Previously, you were fooled by the Chen family members time and time again, but this time you really have to be careful. Don't be fooled by others again."

Mrs Huang shook her head with a wry smile. She knew that she had experienced that kind of history before, and at this moment, no matter how much she tried to vouch for him, she wasn't able to convince him.

She nodded, thinking that she would definitely be wary of the Chen family.

When Lin Jinyan heard what she said, he urged her to go to sleep.

Due to the departure of the three of them tomorrow, they had already chatted very late. It was already close to the third fragment of the night. If he did not sleep, he would be tired when he travelled tomorrow, which would delay his trip to the capital.

The Huang family understood this logic and nodded their heads before heading out to rest.

Mu Yun looked at the back of Mrs Huang and couldn't help but jump into Lin Jinyan's arms.

She really couldn't bear to part with the Huang family, and she didn't want to leave home either.

Lin Jinyan hugged Mu Yun, patted her back, and told her he was by her side to be at ease.

The night passed in silence.

On the morning of the next day, Lin Jinyan bid farewell to Lady Huang at the door of her house.

The three of them were crying, not wanting to part ways.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Jinyan held onto Mu Yun's hand, bid farewell to Lady Huang, then turned around and left.

Mrs Huang stood at the door, reluctant to part.

Mu Yun also turned her head around in three steps.

Although Lin Jinyan's actions were tough, he knew in his heart that he would only be able to return early and reunite with his family after this trip.

Although they were unwilling, they were determined to leave.

However, they did not know that the beginning of this journey was not satisfactory.

They were surrounded by a group of people even before they reached the entrance of the town.

The person in the lead was Chen Mo, who he hadn't seen for a long time.

Previously, when she heard that Ji Ge was going to go to Beijing to report on his duty, she couldn't help but feel a sense of regret.

She had wanted to marry Ziggy early, because he would be a great man in the future, with his education and background. She would turn from a sparrow into a phoenix, but she did not expect that Jigger would go to Beijing so early to report for duty.

She regretted not being able to seduce Ji Ge as soon as possible. She then thought that she still had Lin Jinyan as a backup choice.

However, she didn't expect that after a few days, she heard that Lin Jinyan and Mu Yun would follow Ji Ge to the capital.

From ancient times, how many tourists would return to their hometown after entering the country? How many wanderers, after their wealth and prosperity, still wished to return to their original village and bring their parents and their wretched wives to the capital?

The more Chen Mo thought about it, the more afraid he became. She had already lost the outstanding choice of Ji Ge. If Lin Jinyan also left, wouldn't she be unable to marry the person he liked?

She was getting anxious. She wanted to trap Lin Jinyan before they left and make him stay.

Seeing their stance, Lin Jinyan, who was protecting Mu Yun behind them, asked:

"Chen Mo, what are you doing?"

Chen Mo's eyes sparkled as he looked at Lin Jinyan and said in a tender voice,

"I just don't want to let you go. You knew my heart, yet you kept rejecting me. Now you actually want to be ruthless and leave."

Chen Mo's words seemed plausible, as if there really was something going on between her and Lin Jinyan.

Hearing this, Mu Yun was very angry.

She pulled Lin Jinyan's arm away, looked at Chen Mo and said,

"If you want to leave, then leave. What does that have to do with you? "Don't you dare say such misleading words will ruin Lin Jinyan's and my reputation. Otherwise, I will definitely show you who's boss."

"What is it? Do you want your lover, Mr. Ji, to back you up again? "

The matter of Ji Ge being Mu Yun's little brother was something that very few people in the town knew about even though they held a banquet at the east gate of the city to let all the villagers know about. There were even rumors that Ji Ge's close relationship with Mu Yun was because Ji Ge and Mu Yun had an unspeakable relationship.

Chen Mo naturally heard this rumor and was very dissatisfied with Mu Yun.

She turned to Lin Jinyan and said:

"You actually like such an unchaste and pure girl? I advise you to divorce her and marry me. Although my family isn't very rich, they are much richer than most families. If you marry into my family and inherit my father's shop, you will be able to live a glorious life. "If you work hard to improve and build a good store in the Chen Clan, it won't be difficult for us to become the wealthiest."

Lin Jinyan looked at Chen Mo without a word.

Chen Mo thought that he had persuaded Lin Jinyan, so he called someone to separate him from Mu Yun.

At this moment, a person stood in front of Mu Yun's carriage and said to Chen Mo.

"These two are esteemed guests of Mister Ji. How dare you block their carriage?"

Mu Yun and the others focused their eyes and saw that this person looked a bit familiar. They had seen him in the government office and he was a servant that often followed behind Ji Ge.

At this moment, he had an imposing aura. Although he was short, he was still eye-catching standing in front of the carriage.

As for Ji Ge, he had already been waiting at the city gate to go to the capital with Mu Yun.

He had already waited for a quarter of an hour, but he still hadn't seen Mu Yun. He knew that they were people who kept their word. Something must have happened to them before they arrived, causing them to stumble on their feet.

Ji Ge then instructed his two attendants to go check if something happened to Mu Yun and the rest that prevented them from coming.

The two of them mounted their horses and rode forward.

The horses were several times faster than they normally walked. If they walked for two hours, it would only take them less than a cup of tea to ride on.

When they reached the entrance of the town, they saw a group of people surrounding the carriage.

One of them immediately dismounted and went to help. The other quickly turned around and reported the matter to Ji Ge.

Ziggy received the report and told the groom to wait. Another half of the guards were assigned to guard the carriage, while the other half followed him to deal with the problem.

The horse carriage carried with it an ultimatum to clear the stage, an ultimatum to pass the stage, as well as the documents and seals of the magistrate. They were all things that could not be overlooked. He thought about it for a moment, then decided to leave a trusted aide to guard the place while he led the guards.

When they arrived at the location of the confrontation, Chen Mo raised his hand, ready to hit Mu Yun. Being pestered by a few people, Lin Jinyan bravely stepped forward. The servant that stopped Chen Mo was already on the ground, unable to move.

Ji Ge roared:

"With the magistrate here, who dares to be rash!"

Chen Mo was shocked by Ji Ge's words and his hands paused. Mu Yun took the opportunity to slip out and stand beside Lin Jinyan.

Ji Ge glared at Chen Mo furiously as he watched the guards surround Chen Mo's servants.

Chen Mo lost his composure after she saw him. He stood to the side, shivering. She had originally wanted to delay Lin Jinyan when she left the city. Ji Ge and Mu Yun were just friends and wouldn't ignore their journey to find her. Leaving Lin Jinyan behind would be enough.

However, she had underestimated the relationship between Mu Yun and Ji Ge and suffered a great loss.

At this moment, a middle-aged man rushed over. Upon seeing what had happened, he first paid his respects to Ji Ge and apologized:

"My daughter doesn't understand. My lord is righteous and righteous, my heart surpasses others. I beg of you, milord, please let this little girl go. "

Seeing his father so humble, Chen Mo curled his lips and said reluctantly:

"This humble girl knows her wrongs, please forgive her lord."

Even though her father was discontented with her attitude, he knew that he couldn't discredit her at this moment. Thus, after she spoke, he once again begged for forgiveness.

Ziggy sneered.

"Your Chen Mansion truly doesn't put the government in your eyes. Earlier, you instigated the previous magistrate to act for personal gain. All of them cracked open their joints, finally suppressing the matter with great difficulty. Previously, there were even some evil slaves who took it without asking. "Your Chen family …"

Ji Ge did not finish his words, but Lord Chen began to sweat profusely.

"This little one knows my wrongs. When I return, I will definitely put more strict discipline in order to not let such a thing happen again in the manor."

Giggle had already seen all sorts of excuses to shirk his responsibilities, and now that he had put all the blame on the court, he did not want to deal with him any longer.

"Take him away."

He did not say it out loud, but Master Chen still signaled for the guards to bring Chen Mo away, and then led some of the injured servants back.

Ji Ge walked to Mu Yun's side, glanced at Lin Jinyan whose wrist seemed to be injured, and lightly said:

"Let's go."

For the first time, Lin Jinyan felt threatened by her brother-in-law.

Although Ji Ge didn't say anything, his blaming gaze clearly indicated to him that if he provoked more peach blossoms and hurt Mu Yun, he would definitely teach him a lesson!

Seeing that they were suddenly in a tit for tat, Mu Yun couldn't help but smile as she sat beside him.

"Brother, you really are like a god. You suddenly descended and saved me." What reward does little brother want? If elder sister can get a seat, I will definitely be satisfied! "

Ji Ge looked at Lin Jinyan with an arrogant expression and said, "No need."

Lin Jinyan ignored his provocation because Mu Yun secretly held his hand. He was very satisfied and didn't want to lower himself to a child's level.
