I made a fortune by marrying a sickly woman!

The convoy was delayed for a long time on the road.

Hurry up and hurry up, it's still a step too late.

Before the group reached the city gate, it had already been closed.

"Boss, I still haven't caught up."

Mu Ting said regretfully.

Song Jin lifted the curtain at this time, looking at the closed city gate in front of him, feeling helpless, "I'll ask everyone to find a place to rest and wait until tomorrow morning to enter the city."

Sleeping outside the city gate.

We can only hope it doesn't rain.

The carriage from Wu Bohou's mansion, which was traveling with them, changed direction and said that they were going to stay at a farm in the suburbs. They also sent someone to inquire about Song Jin and invite him to go to the farm with them.

When Song Jin was hesitating, he suddenly saw that the city gate, which was originally closed, was gradually opening a crack.

"Huh?" Song Jin was surprised.

Sanlang even jumped up, "Wow, the city gate is open!"

He did not conceal his voice, and everyone around heard it. Many people looked towards the city gate, wondering why it suddenly opened again. Soon they knew the reason.

A carriage appeared in the city.

There was a lighting lantern hanging in front of the carriage. The light was not very bright, but it could clearly illuminate the coachman and the person sitting on the shaft.

The person driving the carriage was Old Li, the person sitting on the shaft was Qin Ba, and the guards on horseback standing around looked unfamiliar to Song Jin and the others.

The carriage stopped next to Song Jin's car.

Qin Ba lifted the curtain of the carriage, and a man walked out from inside. He was tall and handsome, with delicate features, a cold and pale complexion, and a strong scholarly air. Perhaps he came in a hurry.

Qin Chi was wearing the official uniform of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

"Madam, your husband is here to take you home." Qin Chi came and stood in front of Song Jin.

Song Jin didn't expect to see him at the city gate, and she didn't react for a moment. Qin Chi came forward and hugged her gently, then quickly let her go with reserve, and Song Jin finally came back to her senses.

"My husband is here to pick me and the child up."

Song Jin's eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and there was a warm light in her eyes when she looked at him. Inexplicably, she felt as if her heart was filled with something, warm and swelling, and she had the illusion that her life was no longer empty.

When Qin Chi heard the word "child", his expression froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal and he helped Song Jin into the carriage.

The space inside the car.

Compared to ordinary carriages, it was much bigger, but it still seemed crowded. So when Qin Chi came in, Xiaoyu and Huang Pozi stepped out and were held by Song Jin.

Leaving behind a family of four.

Song Jin and Qin Chi looked at each other and then quietly moved away. Even if they had a thousand words in their hearts, this was not the time to talk.

Qin Chi picked up Niu Niu and sat her on his lap.

Niu Niu was very well-behaved. She was staring at Qin Chi with her big eyes, looking at him slyly. She had an impression of Qin Chi as her father, but she pursed her lips and didn't open her mouth to call out for a while.

The gates are not closed yet.

The carriages of the Shunan caravan ahead have entered the city one after another.

After a while, it was Song Jin and his friends' turn.

People from Wu Bohou's mansion also benefited from them this time. They were originally going to move to a farm in the suburbs, but when they were leaving, Old Madam Wu sent someone to invite Song Jin out of courtesy.

This means he hasn't left yet.

I just happened to be able to enter the city.

After they entered the city, the city gate was closed again.

After entering the city, a long team separated into different groups. One group took the thief's body to the government office to report to the authorities, while the people in the caravan naturally went to stay in the trading company.

Wu Bohou Mansion was not on the same route as Song Jin and the others.

Back to Cuihua Hutong.

Cook Feng and Mrs. Pan have already boiled the hot water.

The child was temporarily handed over to the servants to take care of. The first thing Song Jin did when he came back was to take a bath and change into clean clothes. Then he sat down and ate the food sent from the kitchen.

Qin Chi sat beside him and watched quietly, "I heard about what happened on the road when my wife went to take a bath. I'm sorry that I didn't pick you and the child up earlier."

Today he was dealing with a difficult matter in the yamen.

By the time he got home, it was too late to receive the news from Song Jin and his companions. He hurried to the city gate, but it was closed. He had to persuade the generals guarding the city to open the city gate for a quarter of an hour by doing a favor, and let Song Jin and his companions enter the city. Otherwise, Song Jin and his companions would have to stand outside the city in the cold wind all night.

It’s okay for adults, but children can’t stand it.

Qin Chi didn't know at this time that his wife and children would not suffer from the cold wind. At most, he owed the Wu family a favor and stayed at their farm for one night.

Qin Chi closed the distance between himself and Song Jin, and gently held her in his arms, "I'm glad that I arranged for someone to protect you and the child, so that no one with ulterior motives could succeed."

"Thanks to my husband for protecting me and my child."

Song Jin knew that she could come to the capital safely, but she couldn't do it with the manpower she had. "I didn't expect those people to be so cruel and crazy, and to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals."

The entire village was implicated.

Although those people were pitiful, Song Jin couldn't feel any sympathy for them.

The person who was harmed becomes the one who harms others.

The five people who escaped were still being hunted down by the Qin family's secret guards. In the process, they also rescued the children who were locked up and killed the thieves who were guarding the children. Song Jin didn't need to handle these follow-up matters, his men could handle them well.

Qin Chi gently stroked the hair that fell on Song Jin's back. The soft touch softened his heart. "Are you tired, my lady? Do you want to go to bed and rest early?"

"The child hasn't been fed yet."

Song Jin was thinking about his youngest son.

Qin Chi smiled and coaxed, "Someone is taking care of him, and he has enough food. I knew he was coming, so I found a milk-producing sheep in advance."

Children from wealthy families all have wet nurses.

However, the twins did not hire a wet nurse. They were raised strong just by drinking goat's milk, so Qin Chi did not consider hiring a wet nurse to take care of them at home.

Song Jin was still worried and went to check next door.

The two children actually fell asleep.

With Xiaoyu and Huang Po taking care of him, Song Jin went back to the dormitory after hearing from Huang Po that his youngest son had already drunk more than half a bowl of boiled goat's milk.

Qin Chi had already changed into his simple inner clothes.

He looked like he wanted to rest early.

When Song Jin met his smiling eyes, her cheeks felt slightly hot for some reason, but she took off her coat and got into the quilt. A big hand reached into the quilt and pulled her into a broad and warm embrace.

A short separation is better than a new marriage, and the love between the two is undoubted.

The two of them stayed together until midnight.

As expected, Song Jin got up late the next day.

Qin Chi was no longer in the bedroom, and the bed beside him was cold. Song Jin thought he had gone to the government office. In fact, Qin Chi had asked for leave today and went to Jingzhao Prefecture early to talk to the prefect about the people who ambushed Song Jin and his men, and urged the government office to investigate the matter.

This is the process.

Qin Chi was not sure why the government office could not find any clues.
