Chapter 983: Departure is Imminent

a plush golden embroidered pillow. While listening to her maidservant vividly recount the Queen’s descent into madness, she smiled and sipped her bird's nest soup."Humph, this empress had good eyes b...When his parents and clan were slaughtered, he gritted his teeth, feigned madness, and cooperated with the Northern Expeditionary Army in killing three thousand barbarians to avenge them.

Now, how could he give up on the girl he loved just because of a little hardship!

He had no family, no dreams, no place to belong. He drifted through life like a lost soul.

She was the only ray of light he had managed to grasp, and no one could allow him to fall back into the endless darkness!

Li Lao'er, Li Lao'san, and Mr. Wen, as well as Jili Ge'er, Mao Ge'er, and Jiahuan who rushed over, all followed Jiarren onto the carriage.

Jia Yin stood at the door with her sister-in-law, watching the convoy drive away. She couldn't help but glance at the figure on the carriage once more, but he didn't turn back once.

She couldn't describe the feeling in her heart, a mixture of grievance, regret, and restlessness

In fact, she and he didn't have much of a deep relationship, they just got used to it.

He was always there for her, a shield of protection and unwavering support, no matter what.

Like a friend, don't mind gender or social norms. Don't worry about worldly rules.

It can be said that she is very at ease in front of him!

She even considered that staying with him for her whole life could be a good thing.

But then, a sudden frost came one night, and the little sprout of their affection withered away.

She doesn't blame her family because they love her unconditionally and are afraid she will be hurt.

She didn't blame him, because Mr. Tang was his only surviving relative, and it was understandable that he would make some compromises. After all, they didn't have any grand promises or oaths between them...

But no one blames her, in this day and age, is it her fault

"Sister-in-law, I'm going to take a stroll around the market and then return to live at Suijin Beach for two days. If anything happens, have someone call me." Jia Yin hugged her sister-in-law's arm and said, "The pastries in the market just came out of the oven, I'll have someone bring back two boxes."

Wan'er was completely focused on her husband who was leaving. She casually asked, "Why do you suddenly think of going back to Suijin Beach Your family isn't there…"

Jia Yin softly replied, “I miss Grandma.”

Waner was stunned for a moment, finally realizing that her younger sister-in-law was acting strangely.

Could it be that someone has wronged the younger sister-in-law Why, out of the blue, would she suddenly bring up their beloved grandmother

But upon closer thought, she had no clue what to do and could only cautiously reply, "Alright, you go take a few laps around the street. If you get tired, just come back. Wait until your sister-in-law has settled things here, and tomorrow we can go back together."

"Good." Jia Yin nodded, then hailed a carriage and left with Shuiling and Shuiyun.

Leaving Wan'er standing at the door, her heart felt like an autumn leaf hanging from a branch, suddenly feeling a bit withered.

No wonder the elderly say, life is about living it as a person, and with more people, life becomes more prosperous.

When Li Ge'er also goes to take up his post, the house will probably be even more deserted…

As soon as Jiarong's group left the city gate, they encountered Lao Hei and his companions at a fork in the road.

Lao Hei and the others were used to long journeys. Over the past few years, some had married and had children, staying in Ercun, but most still preferred wandering outside, enjoying their freedom to the fullest.

So, their team size has fluctuated a bit, but it's essentially the same as before.

However, after these two years of hardships and trials, everyone has become experienced and toughened.

At this time, each man had a horse and they brought eight carriages. They were well-organized and clean. When Li La Er and the others saw them, their worries lessened considerably.

With such a squad following us, we wouldn't have to worry about anyone blocking our way on this journey. Li Laoer and the others hopped out of the car, and Lao Hei stepped forward and bowed.

Li Lao'er helped him up and smiled, "Old Hei, brother, I'll entrust this journey to you and the others. Jiaren doesn't often go out, and when things happen, your experience is more valuable than ours. We'll have to trouble you all."

"The two old masters have been too kind to us. This is all we deserve." Lao Hei was very humble and sincere, "Our brothers were originally useless, except for our ability to kill barbarians, we couldn't do anything else.

Thanks to our family and the princess for not looking down on us, they gave our brothers a way out. Now that our master can use us, we are happier than anyone else.

"Master Second, rest assured, on the road if we encounter any danger, as long as our brothers still have a breath, we will ensure that Young Master suffers not even a single hair!"

"Alright, Old Hei brother, I trust you. But still be careful, and return safely." Li Lao'er bowed and smiled, "Not to mention anything else, the princess can't do without your help. If something happens to you, as your second uncle, I'm afraid it would be hard to explain."

When it comes to the county princess, Lao Hei and the others burst into laughter.

Lao Hei replied, "Rest assured, the two elders, when we return, we will definitely bring Miss a lot of good things."

After some casual conversation, Jia Ren also stepped forward to introduce himself to Lao He and the others. “It’s hard work on the road, and safety comes first. If things get urgent and you don’t have time to discuss with me, then prioritize safety. You can abandon your luggage and valuables.”

Lao Hei immediately agreed, feeling a surge of emotion in his heart.

Truly siblings!

Every time they went out, the county princess would give such instructions.

This is also the reason why they are willing to lay down their lives for their master, because the feeling of being valued and cared for is so good.

Lao He quickly went down and rechecked each vehicle, assigning personnel.

Li Laer, Li Laosan, and Mr. Wen and others surrounded Jiarren in the middle, admonishing him again and again.

"Jiaren, you can rest assured and go on your assignment. I'll take care of everything at home. I'll write to you as soon as possible. You don't have to worry." Li Laoer patted his son's shoulder, feeling very reluctant.

If I wasn't worried about my son being caught in the middle, he could at least stay home for another day or two.

Mr. Wen only learned about Mr. Tang's affairs this morning, and he was also advising at this moment, "Jiaren, just rest assured and go to your post, I'll help your father too."

Jiahuan and Liguer, and Maoguer also nodded. Jiahuan said, "Big brother, we will all protect our younger sister and won't let her be wronged."

Just as Jiarong was about to speak, two fast horses galloped out of the city gate, almost knocking over the burdens of the people entering the city.

Before the commoners could utter a few insults, a servant trailing behind on horseback tossed them a corner of silver...

"Brother Li, why did you suddenly set off without even telling us" Lu Cong jumped down first and shouted loudly.

Jia Xu rode his horse awkwardly and was tripped by the stirrup, almost falling headfirst to the ground. Luckily, Jia Ren rushed forward in time to help him up.

Even though there might have been some estrangement before, after all, we've been friends for many years. Now that we're parting ways, there's no need to dwell on the past.

Jiarren hugged both of them, and smiled, "Our family has found a caravan that can accompany us all the way to the southwest. They've been waiting for me to join them on the road, so I came a day early. "

"I didn't have time to say hello to you all beforehand, and I didn't want to cause you any trouble. But I see that you still came."

Lu Zong pounded Chen Jian's shoulder with a fist and replied, "What are you talking about, brother"

Jia Xu also said, "That's right, this parting, we won't see each other for at least three years. How could we not come to see you off!"

Jia Ren laughed and said, "If you have some free time, come find me. Let's get together and have a drink."

Jia Xu immediately replied, "Sure thing, let's have a three-day and three-night drinking session then."

Lu Cong just smiled wryly. When he married the third princess, he would probably only have a chance to go back to the southwest after having a child and leaving him in Xindu...
