Chapter 141 Personal belongings
They walked along the mountain road for a whole day and finally arrived at the county town.
The county town was bustling with people, and the cries of various vendors could be heard one after another, forming a sharp contrast with the silence in the village.
The three of them went straight to the prefectural government office and beat drums to appeal for justice.
When the prefect learned of the situation, he immediately went to court to try the case.
Lin Wanqing stood in the hall and told the whole story in detail.
Upon hearing this, the prefect frowned.
"Is what you said true?"
Lin Wanqing nodded without hesitation.
"It's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to the village to check. Those tomb robbers are still unconscious."
The prefect pondered for a moment and immediately sent people to the village to investigate.
Not long after, the spy came back and reported that there were indeed many people in the village who were unconscious and looked like they had been drugged.
Upon hearing this, the prefect immediately slammed the table and stood up.
"Too real! Come, head to the village immediately and apprehend all those tomb robbers!"
Upon hearing this, the yamen runners immediately took orders and left.
Seeing this, Lin Wanqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Wanqing and Jiang Yu smiled at each other, then turned around to say goodbye to the grateful villagers.
At this moment, Xiaolian suddenly rushed out from the crowd, tears and joy in her eyes.
"Sister Lin, Sister Jiang, thank you! You are both heroes!"
Xiaolian hugged the two of them tightly, her voice trembling with excitement.
Lin Wanqing patted Xiaolian's shoulder gently, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Silly girl, this is what we should do. By the way, Xiaolian, this is for you."
As she spoke, she took out a warm jade pendant from her bosom and gently placed it in Xiaolian's hand.
Xiaolian looked down at the jade pendant in her hand.
It was a jade pendant with a warm color and fine carvings, and a lifelike lotus engraved on it. It was obviously worth a lot of money.
"Sister Lin, this...what is this?"
Lin Wanqing smiled slightly, with a warm light in her eyes.
"This is my token of love. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, or want to find me, take this jade pendant to the Prince's Mansion. Remember, no matter when or where, I will do my best to help you."
"Prince's Mansion?!"
Xiaolian widened her eyes in surprise when she heard this. She looked at Lin Wanqing in disbelief, as if she had met her for the first time.
"Yes, I am the princess of the county."
Lin Wanqing's voice was soft and firm, without any hint of boasting, only a sincere promise.
Xiaolian was stunned. She held the jade pendant tightly, and her eyes became moist again.
She never thought that this gentle and kind sister Lin who had always protected her was actually the princess of a noble county.
"Sister Lin..."
Xiaolian choked with sobs, her voice full of gratitude and admiration.
Lin Wanqing hugged Xiaolian gently, with a gentle light in his eyes.
"Don't cry, Xiaolian. Remember, no matter where you are, you must live strong and bravely."
Jiang Yu stood aside, watching this scene, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
After saying goodbye to the villagers, the two set off on their journey home.
Lin Wanqing patted Xiaolian's back gently, and waited until she calmed down a little before slowly releasing his arms.
He turned and looked at Jiang Yu, his eyes gleaming with thought.
"Jiang Yu, I'm filled with emotion after coming back this time. I always felt that I was isolated from the world in the palace and never truly understood the suffering of the people."
She said softly, with a hint of seriousness in her tone.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu nodded, and a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, I never thought that those seemingly peaceful villages would hide so many hidden worries and hardships. The helplessness and tenacity of those villagers are really heartbreaking."
Lin Wanqing sighed softly and looked into the distance with gentle eyes.
"From now on, I want to go out more often and see the world. I also hope to do my part to help those in need."
When Jiang Yu heard this, his heart warmed and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
"Wanqing, I'm really happy that you think so."
Lin Wanqing smiled slightly, with gratitude glittering in her eyes.
"Thank you, Jiang Yu. With you by my side, I'm not afraid of anything."
The two smiled at each other, their eyes full of trust and warmth.
Jiang Yu looked at Lin Wanqing, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.
"Wanqing, how are you living in the Prince's Mansion? Are you used to it?"
Lin Wanqing gently stroked a strand of hair with a faint smile on her lips.
"Fortunately, the prince treats me well, and I am gradually getting the hang of the affairs in the mansion."
After saying that, she changed the subject and looked at Jiang Yu gently.
"But you, Jiang Yu, when did your medical skills become so advanced? And that drug is really amazing."
Jiang Yu chuckled, a cunning glint in his eyes.
"Wanqing, have you forgotten? I once said that I have traveled far and wide and met many extraordinary people. When I was at the border, in order to protect myself, I naturally had to learn some life-saving skills."
Her tone was light, yet concealed a subtle heaviness.
Hearing this, Lin Wanqing's eyes flashed with heartache, and she gently held Jiang Yu's hand, "Jiang Yu, you have worked hard these years."
Jiang Yu shook his head, his smile still warm.
"It's not hard. Now the hardship has ended and the sweetness has returned."
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
After returning to the Prince's Mansion, Lin Wanqing told Lu Shengyuan everything about her experience.
After hearing this, Lu Shengyuan frowned, his eyes flashing with deep thought.
"These tomb robbers are so rampant that they dare to commit crimes in broad daylight. It seems they must be severely punished!"
Lin Wanqing nodded, his tone firm, "We must bring them to justice and serve as a warning to others."
Upon hearing this, Lu Shengyuan turned to look at Lin Wanqing, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.
"Wanqing, you have done very well. I will immediately send someone to the village to assist the prefect in handling this matter."
When Lin Wanqing heard this, her heart warmed and her eyes sparkled with gratitude.
"Thank you, Prince."
Lu Shengyuan smiled slightly, his eyes full of tenderness.
"There's no need to be so polite between you and me."
Lin Wanqing's eyes moved and a gentle smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"By the way, Shengyuan, I brought you some small gifts."
As she spoke, she took out a few exquisite packages from her sleeves and placed them gently on the table. The packages still retained the unique atmosphere of the street life.
"These are a few sets of clothes I picked out in town. I thought you might be too busy with government affairs to take care of these. Take a look at them. Do you like them?"
When Lu Shengyuan heard this, a hint of surprise and joy flashed in his eyes. He then stood up, walked to the table, and gently unwrapped the package.
Inside the package were several pieces of clothing that were soft in texture and elegant in color.
Although it is not made of precious materials, the stitches are fine and the patterns are elegant, obviously made by folk craftsmen.
He gently stroked the clothes, feeling the simplicity and warmth that was different from the luxury of the palace, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.
"Wanqing, these clothes may not be made of expensive fabrics, but the craftsmanship is indeed exquisite, revealing a unique folk charm."
