Upon learning that Ji Shan Tang was being disturbed by the bully Mr.Li, the local government decided to take action.
Inside the magistrate's office, the county magistrate slammed the Court Gavel, his expression serious as he immediately ordered a squad of trained officers to be dispatched.
These officers, clad in imposing official uniforms and wielding long spears and sharp blades, marched in disciplined formation towards Mr.Li's residence.
At that moment, Mr.Li was at home, reveling with a group of raucous friends, completely unaware that disaster was about to strike.
When the officers appeared before him like divine soldiers descending from the heavens, he was momentarily stunned, then attempted to resist.
He commanded his household servants, who usually flaunted their power under Mr.Li's influence. However, in front of the officers, they crumbled like paper and were swiftly subdued.
Mr.Li was escorted to the Courtroom. Along the way, he remained arrogant and boisterous, loudly proclaiming his family's power, believing he could escape punishment.
In the Courtroom, he held his head high and refused to plead guilty, even attempting to bribe the county magistrate with money.
Seeing this, the magistrate's anger flared up. He struck the Court Gavel forcefully once more and scolded, " Mr.Li, do not think that your family's power can cover up your crimes. The evidence against you for damaging Ji Shan Tang is irrefutable, with numerous eyewitnesses ready to testify. Do you dare to argue further?"
The magistrate then called forth the eyewitnesses one by one. A worker from Ji Shan Tang stepped forward, his face bearing bruises from being beaten by Mr.Li's thugs, yet his eyes shone with determination.
He detailed the misdeeds of Mr.Li and his men within Ji Shan Tang—how they smashed cabinets, injured staff members, and harassed Su Ling. Following him, other villagers and customers also took the stand to testify; their accounts corroborated each other, leaving no room for doubt regarding Mr.Li's crimes.
The government acted without mercy according to the law and imposed a heavy penalty on Mr.Li. The magistrate pronounced loudly, " Mr.Li, you have disrupted public order, damaged others' property, and harassed respectable women. You are ordered to compensate Ji Shan Tang for all losses and will be imprisoned for several months."
Upon hearing the verdict, Mr.Li's face turned pale, his legs weakened, and he collapsed to the ground.
It was then that he realized that his misdeeds would ultimately lead to punishment.
This punishment allowed Ji Shan Tang to temporarily escape the harassment of the bullies. Upon hearing the news, the townsfolk rushed into the streets, clapping their hands in delight. They cheered for the government’s fair enforcement of the law and felt relieved that Ji Shan Tang had finally regained its peace.
As the turmoil subsided, Ji Shan Tang returned to its former tranquility.
One evening, the golden rays of the setting sun bathed the backyard of Ji Shan Tang in a warm glow, like a shimmering golden veil.
Jun Yichen and Su Ling strolled through this dreamlike atmosphere, surrounded by flowers and grasses gently swaying in the breeze, seemingly creating a romantic ambiance for this pair of lovers.
Jun Yichen's heart raced uncontrollably as he gradually slowed his pace until he finally stopped, gazing deeply into Su Ling's eyes. His gaze was so intense it seemed to penetrate her very soul, yet it was as gentle as the warm sun of spring, capable of melting Su Ling's heart.
He slowly raised his hand, trembling slightly as he took Su Ling's delicate hand. She flinched slightly, a blush creeping onto her cheeks, but under Jun Yichen's steadfast gaze, she did not pull away.
Taking a deep breath, Jun Yichen spoke with a voice that trembled yet was filled with deep affection: “Su Ling, after enduring this storm together, I now understand more clearly how important you are to me. Every time I see you working hard for Ji Shan Tang and for the herbal medicine cause, my heart is deeply touched by you. When you were slandered and faced difficulties, all I wanted was to protect you. I realize that my heart has been unconsciously occupied by you. I long to spend every morning and evening with you, whether in sunshine or rain. I wish to walk hand in hand with you into the future, never to part. Will you accompany me?”
Listening to Jun Yichen's confession made Su Ling's heart race like a startled deer; her cheeks flushed even deeper as the color spread from her face to her ears. Tears glimmered in her eyes as memories of Jun Yichen’s support during difficult times and their shared moments unfolded before her like paintings.
She nodded slightly, her voice soft yet resolute: “Jun Gongzi, I have long held you in my heart. From your initial recognition and help at Ji Shan Tang to our later studies on herbal medicine and facing crises together, each moment has brought me closer to you. I admire your talent, your kindness, and your sense of responsibility. I wish to be by your side for life, no matter how many hardships lie ahead.”
Upon hearing Su Ling's response, a radiant smile broke across Jun Yichen's face, brighter than the setting sun itself. He gently embraced Su Ling as if he were holding the entire world in his arms.
Su Ling nestled obediently in Jun Yichen's embrace, and the two stood quietly together, savoring this warm and beautiful moment. The afterglow of the setting sun stretched their shadows long, as if etching an eternal footnote to their love.
