Chapter 430 Separation 2

"Madam Lin, if you are worried that there are not enough people in the border town, I can send an army to serve you. How about that?"

General Han is tall and big. Just by standing there, he gives people the feeling that he is not someone to be trifled with.

"Thank you for your kindness, General Han. Although the army has a large number of people, they don't know how to do business."

Han Yan was about to open his mouth to refute, but for the first time he was speechless.

"That's true, but Madam Lin, you cured Xiluo's child of the poison for me, and we all went back to the capital. You are alone in the border town, with no one to rely on. I am really worried."

Wan Weiran sat next to Lin Ting. He knew Lin Ting's personality. Once he made a decision, he would not change it easily. But he still wanted Lin Ting to go with them.

"Master Lin, is there no other way? You insist on staying here."

Lin Ting smiled faintly. She had to stay behind to understand accurately that she couldn't be lax in the affairs of the country.

"no!"

She was so determined that the three of them didn't know how to persuade her.

"Yian, you don't have to worry about me. I have so many people around me, I won't be in danger. And I promised you that I would return to the capital before you get married."

Persuasion was fruitless, and they could only say goodbye to Lin Ting.

Everyone who came to the border town, including Old Jiang, had left. Now only Xiao Jingchuan had not come to say goodbye to Lin Ting.

Lin Ting thought that she and he were good friends, but she waited for a whole day and Xiao Jingchuan didn't come.

It was not until the evening that Bai Lu went out and came back with a letter in her hand.

"Madam, this is a letter from the Second Prince to you."

Lin Ting took the letter from Bai Lu and opened it to read the contents.

Xiao Jingchuan only had two very simple words: If you don’t like to say goodbye, don’t see me off!

Lin Ting received the letter and stopped waiting. He went back to his study to read.

Bai Lu looked at his wife. She also wanted to go back to the capital. She received a letter from Miss Wanyi a few days ago. When his wife saw it, she cried.

She kept in her heart how much she missed Miss Wanyi.

On the night of their separation, Xiao Jingchuan sat on a small slope where he could see Weirui Pavilion, alone and on his horse, for a long time.

Every figure in Weirui Pavilion, even a lamp being blown out, would touch his heart.

Sometimes Xiao Jingchuan would mock himself, wondering how he, who had always been calm and composed, could do such a childish thing.

But he just couldn't control himself. He was like a mouse hiding in a dark corner, spying on the sunlight.

He always longed for this ray of sunshine to shine on him at an unexpected moment.

He was greedy for this feeling, but had to struggle with etiquette every day.

When the morning breeze was blowing and the rising sun was shining on the mountaintop, Xiao Jingchuan turned and left.

That night, he knew that the man was in that yard, and that was enough.

Lin Ting got up and opened the door of Weirui Pavilion as usual. Even though the store had no business, she was still used to opening the door.

But this time it was different. As soon as the Weirui Pavilion shop opened, it was surrounded by people. Some of them were holding vegetables they grew themselves, and some were holding eggs.

Bai Lu's first reaction was that these people in the border town were going to use the things in their hands to hit Lin Ting, so she immediately protected Lin Ting.

"What do you want to do? I'm warning you, if anyone dares to make a move, I won't show any mercy."

"Ling Feng, Ling Feng, come out quickly!"

Bai Lu was afraid that she didn't have enough momentum to fight alone, so she called Ling Feng and all the guards of Weirui Pavilion.

A row of guards blocked the gate of Weirui Pavilion, each of them drew the long sword at his waist.

But the people in the border town did not retreat at all, and no one spoke. It was just so quiet.

Lin Ting came out from behind and held down Ling Feng's half-unsheathed sword with his hand.

"Please keep the sword. It's okay."

The people in the border town could barely get enough to eat, so they wouldn't be willing to throw the food at themselves. But the people in the border town were acting so abnormally today that Lin Ting was not used to it.

Facing the crowd of people, Lin Ting spoke gently.

"Are you guys having trouble? Or do you need my help?"

No one spoke, but one person placed two eggs on the stone steps of Weirui Pavilion, and soon everyone rushed over and put the vegetables they had brought.

"This is what you are doing?"

Lin Ting was confused and stunned. Could these things be given to her?

Everyone left after sending off the gift. In the crowd, Lin Ting spotted Aunt Wei. This was strange. Didn't Aunt Wei dislike her? She actually brought an egg today.

She also has a grandson. Eggs are precious things. Normally, no one would eat them, let alone give them to others.

"Bai Lu, go..."

Lin Ting pointed at Aunt Wei and asked Bai Lu to ask her what was going on.

Bai Lu nodded, trotted through the crowd, and stood in front of Aunt Wei.

Aunt Wei was old and walked slowly. She looked up, then lowered her head awkwardly, trying to go around Bai Lu to the left, but Bai Lu took another step to the left and blocked her in place again.

She didn't say anything, didn't dare to look at Bai Lu, and just kept dodging.

"Auntie Wei, why are you hiding? Tell me, what's going on today?"

Aunt Wei had white hair on her temples and a layer of white film around her eyes. When Bai Lu asked her this, the corners of her mouth twitched and she looked embarrassed.

Bai Lu had no idea what her reaction meant. These people were shouting and calling for the Madam's death every day. Who knew if they were planning something again?

"Auntie Wei, if you don't tell us, we at Weirui Pavilion wouldn't dare accept your things. And your eggs are precious. Are you just going to give them up like that?"

After Bai Lu's reminder, Aunt Wei looked back at the food in front of Weirui Pavilion. It would be a pity if they just left it there and Madam Weirui didn't dare to eat it.

She was filled with shame, but she still said it.

"Miss Bailu, we are here to thank Madam Weirui. After the troops from Border Town withdrew, the Second Prince told us that it was Madam Weirui who discovered the underground water source in Border Town.

If we didn't have these water sources a few months ago, we would have died long ago. We have offended Madam Weirui many times before.

We don’t even know that Madam Weirui once saved our lives, and we treated her like that before.

Now everyone feels guilty but doesn't know how to speak up, so we wanted to send some food to Madam Weirui to make amends."

Bai Lu looked at Lin Ting. Actually, everyone in the border town knew about this?

"You, did the Second Prince tell you about this?"

Aunt Wei nodded. They only found out about this yesterday. Before that, they had always thought that those water sources were found by the border town army.

But no one expected that it was Madam Weirui who came up with the idea. Weirui Pavilion had its own well and did not need to look for a water source.

But she did not just care about herself. For the sake of the people in the border town, she still found a way to find water for everyone.

The people in the border town have clear likes and dislikes, and are straightforward in nature. Now, Madam Weirui is not the only one in Yangcheng who collects fox furs.

The general trend was unstoppable, and they also knew that targeting Madam Weirui alone would be futile.
