Chapter 429 Separation 1

After saying goodbye to Shen Qingzhou, Lin Ting followed Xiao Jingchuan back to the border town.

Such heavy rain finally brought traces of water to the border town’s rivers, which had been dry for a long time.

"Second Prince, thank you for coming to help Qingzhou and the others in time. Otherwise, they would be very sad."

Lin Ting sat in the carriage, lifted a corner of the carriage curtain, and talked to Xiao Jingchuan.

"This is my duty."

Xiao Jingchuan could not keep a cold expression when facing Lin Ting. He could control himself rationally, but he could not control his heart beating wildly for Lin Ting.

Lin Ting: "Anyway, thank you."

Xiao Jingchuan looked at Lin Ting with a bitter look. He struggled with his reason every day, and he didn't like this feeling at all.

"Madam Wei Rui, matters in the border town are almost settled. The imperial edict from my father summoning me back to the capital has also been delivered to the border town. A young general from the Ministry of War will be stationed here. General Han and I will be returning to the capital in a month."

A month later, Han Yian and Wan Weiran returned, just in time to prepare for their wedding.

"It's good to go back. You haven't been home for a long time."

Family?

This word was too unfamiliar to Xiao Jingchuan. Home should be a warm place, but the palace was no exaggeration to say it was a place where people were eaten.

"Lin Ting, what about you? Why are you going back?"

Xiao Jingchuan called Lin Ting's name softly, his dark and deep eyes hiding affection.

His eyes were too hot, and coupled with the rumors in the border town, at this moment, Lin Ting felt Xiao Jingchuan's emotions.

She blinked, avoiding looking into Xiao Jingchuan's eyes, and used a smile to hide her discovery.

"As for me, when Han Yian and his family get married, I'll take care of everything here and then go back."

The business in the border town has almost stabilized. Lin Ting is just afraid of accidents and wants to personally lead the Xiluo people step by step.

Moreover, the second season corn harvest in the border town was also good, and with the wheat subsidies from the imperial court, the people in the border town had no problem surviving the winter.

"Yesterday I received a letter from Beijing saying that everyone in the country has been planting corn since the second half of this year, and the country is developing in a positive direction. I believe we will meet in Beijing soon."

Lin Ting also received this news. This year, Dongxia has an abundant grain supply and no people will starve to death. This is the meaning of Lin Ting's actions.

It was already dark when they returned to the border town. Xiao Jingchuan sent Lin Ting to Weirui Pavilion and watched them go in.

Tian Wei now actively brought a ladder to Lin Ting: "Madam, be careful."

After Lin Ting got off the horse, he untied the carriage and pulled the horse back to the stable.

The stable was not far from the back door. For some reason, Tian Wei always felt that there was someone at the back door.

This is Weirui Pavilion. Although there are many guards, he still doesn't want to leave any hidden dangers for Lin Ting, so he decides to go to the back door to take a look.

When he opened the back door, he found Xiao Jingchuan standing there on horseback, his eyes fixed on Weirui Pavilion. Tian Wei was very familiar with the love revealed in his eyes.

"Second Prince, you haven't gone home yet? It's so late, you don't want to come to Weirui Pavilion for dinner?"

Xiao Jingchuan is highly respected by the people in the border town, and Tian Wei is very grateful to him. But now, the second prince wants to poach people and destroy Madam Lin's family, and Tian Wei absolutely disagrees with this.

"Has Madam Weirui rested?"

Tian Wei raised his head and said, "I've had a rest. This afternoon, there was a strong wind. Our wife was worried about Mr. Shen, so she rushed from Yangcheng to Wushan.

Although Madam Weirui's reputation is not very good, she must have some outstanding qualities to be able to marry Lord Shen.

Although I don't like Madam Weirui very much, I have never thought of provoking the relationship between the young couple and causing trouble.

As a common citizen, I despise this kind of petty behavior."

Tian Wei's words were full of sarcasm. Madam Lin was already taken, and he would rather tear down ten temples than ruin a marriage.

Xiao Jingchuan also understood what Tian Wei meant. He thought he had hidden his feelings for Lin Ting very well, but he didn't expect Tian Wei to see through it.

Xiao Jingchuan had a cold face and turned around to ride back.

Tian Wei also took two steps forward and shouted at his back.

"It's dark and the roads are slippery, Second Prince, be careful on the road!"

When he could no longer see anyone, Tian Wei's upturned mouth corners dropped and his face turned cold.

The Second Prince is of noble status. When he returns to the capital, he can have any girl he wants. If he really develops feelings for Madam Lin, it will not be good for him, Madam Lin, or Lord Shen.

I hope the Second Prince can listen to his advice and think about it carefully.

......

It was six days later when Wu Shan and Shen Qingzhou met again after they parted ways.

Shen Qingzhou is going back to Yunzhou, as he still needs to go back to oversee the dam project.

"My lady, I'm going back to Yunzhou tomorrow."

Although he was reluctant, Shen Qingzhou still said it out loud.

He wrapped Lin Ting's hands with his big hands, placed them on his lips and kissed them gently.

"I'll take you there tomorrow."

Lin Ting did not try to persuade him to stay. They both had different missions and neither of them would say meaningless words.

They cherish every moment they spend together, and that's enough.

Shen Qingzhou was leaving, and even if he didn't say it, Bai Lu and the other people in Weirui Pavilion seemed to know it in their hearts. No one disturbed the two of them for the whole night.

Give Lin Ting and Shen Qingzhou space to get along.

The next day, Lin Ting had never gotten up so early before. Perhaps it could be said that she hardly slept at all all night.

After sending Shen Qingzhou to the carriage, the two of them held back their tears and smiled at each other.

"My lady, we'll meet in the capital in two months."

Lin Ting bit his lip and nodded: "Have a safe journey!"

When Lin Ting gained wealth and Shen Qingzhou became a court official and shouldered responsibilities, they both missed their days in Wushan Village even more.

At that time, they could meet each other anytime they wanted, and if they wanted to have dinner, Lin Ting would pick him up from the college.

But now, that kind of comfortable life has been impossible in the past few years.

Watching Shen Qingzhou's carriage disappear at the end, Lin Ting said to Bai Lu beside him.

"Let's go back."

But Lin Ting didn't know that the moment she turned around, Shen Qingzhou's figure appeared at the end of the road. He looked at his beloved person walking away with bitter eyes.

Shen Qingzhou returned to the carriage, sat upright, and wiped the tears from his cheeks with his index finger.

He believed that everything would be fine.

Lin Ting transferred fox skins from the border town to the capital, and would go to Yangcheng every once in a while to visit fox hunters near Yangcheng.

And understand everyone's thoughts so that we can come up with new responses at any time.

After finally getting over the sadness of parting with Shen Qingzhou, Han Yian brought Wan Weiran and General Han to Weirui Pavilion to say goodbye to Lin Ting.

"Lin Ting, come back to the capital with us. I think Aunt Jing is here in Yangcheng, so you don't have to do everything yourself."

Han Yian and the others returned to the capital, and Xiao Jingchuan also went back. By then, the only person who came to the border town from the capital would be Lin Ting.

"You should go back first. After winter, the border town will be covered with ice and snow. I will stay for a while and will definitely arrive in the capital on the day of your wedding."
