After Qin Liangwan had mostly recovered, Qin Bu and Mao Yuli began to pack their bags and prepare for departure.
At the entrance of the Marquis of Quling Residence, Lu Ruojiang's people quickly blended into the Qin family's group. However, aside from the difference in clothing, there was one more thing that distinguished them from the Qin family's servants. They primarily followed Qin Liangwan; even though the backbone of this group was Qin Bu, they showed respect to him but were fully obedient to Qin Liangwan.
Lu Ruojiang came to the side of the carriage to bid farewell to Qin Liangwan, saying, "I have sent a messenger pigeon. If you feel bored, you can send me a message. Once everything is settled, I will find time to visit you."
With many industries under his command and gradually taking over the affairs of Zheng King's Mansion, he couldn't accompany Qin Liangwan to Yan County as he wished.
Qin Liangwan felt warmth in her heart, "Don't worry, I won't forget you."
"That's good." Lu Ruojiang took out a token. "It's not wise to carry too much money on the road to avoid attracting thieves. With this token, you can withdraw money at any shop with blue lettering."
"Don't make things hard for yourself out there."
Qin Liangwan accepted the token, her eyes filled with joy. "Aren't you afraid I'll spend all your money?"
"Desiring what cannot be obtained, if you spend all your wealth, then this lifetime will belong to me." Noticing that Qin Bu and Mao Yuli had already boarded the carriage, Qin Liangwan felt embarrassed to delay in front of the elders. Taking advantage of everyone's distraction, she squeezed Lu Ruojiang's hand for a moment and said, "Remember to think of me." Lu Ruojiang's gaze softened as he replied, "Mm."
Lu Ruojiang has been staring at Qin Liangwan's carriage. Cong Nan said, "Crown prince, rest assured, with experienced guards by her side, Fourth Lady will surely be safe." Lu Ruojiang absentmindedly nodded, but couldn't shake off a sense of unease. Could it be because it's the first time being so far apart from Liangwan? Lu Ruojiang furrowed his brow, feeling agitated by the emotions in his heart.
After completely losing sight of the carriage, Lu Ruojiang said, "Let's go back."
Here, Lu Ruojiang is thinking of Qin Liangwan, while over there, Qin Liangwan is also missing Lu Ruojiang.
Playing with the token given to her by Lu Ruojiang, Qin Liangwan's brows were tinged with a hint of sorrow. She now truly understood what longing felt like.
Meanwhile, in the carriage ahead, Qin Bu and Mao Yuli were discussing the relationship between Lu Ruojiang and Qin Liangwan.
"I thought I had been good enough to my lady, but after seeing Crown Prince Zhengwang today, I realized that it could be even better," Qin Bu sighed. He was self-aware; he knew that if the roles were reversed, he could never be as good as Lu Ruojiang.
Mao Yuli said, "Crown Prince Zhengwang and Wanwan have known each other since childhood, and their feelings for each other are deep and pure, so it's not surprising for Wanwan to feel this way."
"Actually, if you ask me, given Wanwan's personality, she should find someone from a family of similar status or even a lower one. That way, if she faces any grievances, we can support her."
Mao Yuli expressed some disagreement, "Look at how Crown Prince Zhengwang cares for Wanwan like a precious gem. Would he let Wanwan suffer any grievances?"
"Even Queen Yi Yang, Crown Prince Zhengwang would set aside her face for Wanwan. Why are you worried about these things?"
"People's hearts are fickle, my dear wife."
"Isn't it allowed for someone to remain consistent?" Mao Yuli looked at Qin Bu and smiled, "If you can do it, why can't Crown Prince Zhengwang?"
Qin Bu wanted to say that it was different. Although he could still be considered in his prime, he was no longer a youthful young man, and the temptations he faced were far fewer than those that Lu Ruojiang had to confront.
