Chapter 210 I want to live a simple life

"Bah! Those low-class people, even one look at them makes my eyes dirty, it's better to stay away from them, so as not to have anything to do with them."

Although the Third Lady spoke with disdain, there was an undisguised smugness in her eyes.

In the past, she and her younger sister were waiting to be married. Her younger sister was better than her in every aspect and was deeply loved by her parents.

Unexpectedly, my sister fell in love with the son of a merchant and married him as a merchant's wife. Unlike me, I cleverly chose a powerful family - the Song family. From then on, our statuses were completely different.

Now, the departure of Cui Rongrong and Xu Shujin is like clearing the haze in the Third Lady's heart. Those poor relatives are finally no longer an eyesore, making her feel much happier.

Qingzhou is an ancient city that is simple and peaceful, and its Shiya County hides many unknown stories.

In a corner of this county town, deep in Sophora japonica alley, it is like a forgotten painting, quietly unfolding.

There is no bustling atmosphere of the city here, only a newly opened small pharmacy, like a young sprout, growing tenaciously in the cracks of the rocks.

The name of the shop is "Huichuntang". It looks inconspicuous and its facade is mottled, as if time has left traces here.

The narrow aisle can barely accommodate three or four people passing by, but this small space contains rich herbs and hope for life.

Although the counter is old, it is wiped clean and is filled with various medicinal materials that come from the mountains and carry the breath of nature.

Cui Rongrong, a woman wearing a simple cotton skirt, was busy moving around in the shop.

Her hair was cleverly half-draped and half-braided into a large braid, gently draped over her chest, which was simple yet charming.

She was wearing a clean apron with her sleeves rolled up to her arms. She stood on an old-looking wooden stool, tiptoed, and worked hard to put the medicines neatly into the high cabinet.

The sunlight shone through the narrow window onto her focused face, adding a touch of gentle glow to her.

Lin Han's arrival interrupted the tranquility. Seeing Cui Rongrong struggling to put things away alone, he quickly stepped forward, wanting to share her hard work.

"let me help you!"

His words were full of concern.

However, Cui Rong had quickly finished the work at hand. She dusted off her hands, turned around, and smiled warmly: "Why are you here?"

Her voice was soft and her eyes showed undisguised surprise.

Lin Han looked around the store, with a hint of worry in his tone: "Is your store too remote? It looks like business is slow."

He looked around, his mind full of thoughtful consideration for her.

Cui Rongrong smiled faintly when she heard this: "Good wine needs no bush. People who are truly looking for good doctors and miraculous medicines care most about the efficacy, not the size of the store."

Her words reveal confidence and optimism about the future.

During this period of time, Cui Rongrong has lived in Qingzhou for more than half a month and is very busy every day.

She first bought a small courtyard on the edge of the city to settle down, and then started to open this herbal medicine shop.

Every choice she makes reveals her independence and tenacity.

Lin Han took out two booklets carefully wrapped in oil paper from his arms and handed them to Cui Rongrong solemnly, as if handing over a pass to two worlds.

"By the way, you and Ajin's household registration documents have been completed, take a look."

There was a sense of accomplishment in his eyes.

Cui Rongrong took the booklet, gently opened it, and confirmed that it was the household registration certificate of Baiyun County, Liuzhou. Her and Ajin's names had been cleverly changed to Bai Wei and Bai Zheng.

For both of them, the new identity symbolizes a new beginning, but it also carries with it all the things from the past that had to be abandoned.

As the magistrate of Shiya County, it was not difficult for Lin Han to help them regain their household registration, but he still had to act with caution. So he cleverly used his network of connections in other counties and, with the help of Magistrate Li, successfully completed this rather difficult task.

The county magistrates of the other six counties in Qingzhou Prefecture came to congratulate him one after another, and this network of connections also helped Lin Han solve many problems.

Cui Rongrong carefully put away the two thin booklets, with gratitude in her eyes: "Thank you so much."

There was genuine emotion in her words.

Lin Han smiled and waved his hands: "What's the big deal? You are always too cautious. Change your name and place, and let the past be the past. Since the Song family thinks you are no longer alive, they will naturally not bother you anymore. Besides, you are an innocent citizen, not a fugitive."

Cui Rong pursed her lips lightly and frowned slightly: "But I still can't completely let go of my guard in my heart."

Her long years in the Song family had made her accustomed to living in fear. Even though she had a new life now, the vigilance deeply rooted in her heart was difficult to dissipate easily.

The choice of pharmacy was also the result of careful consideration.

This remote corner and the narrow storefront have become her protective color. She hides deep in the locust tree alley, as if deliberately avoiding the eyes of the world.

She thought to herself that maybe after some time, when everything was calm, she would be able to truly let go of the worry in her heart, and then she could open a larger and more conspicuous pharmacy to pursue her own career dream.

Lin Han sensed her worry and comforted her: "Don't worry, I'm here, I will protect you."

His promise was calm and powerful, giving Cui Rong a great sense of security.

But she still has doubts about the source of customers for the pharmacy: "Your pharmacy is so hidden, how can customers come to the store?"

Lin Han looked at the sparse crowd outside the door, and couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

Cui Rongrong looked calm and composed: "It's okay, I can take the initiative to go around and treat people. Once my reputation spreads, people will naturally come to me."

Her words were full of confidence and expectations for the future.

Lin Han's expression became soft and complicated. He wondered worriedly whether her elegant and refined appearance would cause unnecessary trouble if she showed up in public like this.

In this world, beauty often comes with risks, especially for a woman walking alone.

Cui Rongrong seemed to see through his thoughts, and a sly light flashed in her eyes: "It's not tiring. I have been following my father to practice medicine since I was a child, visiting villages and households. I have long been accustomed to such a life. It is very simple."

There is a bit of childlike innocence in her smile.

At this moment, Lin Han's eyes became somewhat obsessed, his throat rolled slightly, as if there were thousands of words stuck in his chest, and in the end he only uttered a few words, stumbling: "I... I brought my mother over, she really wants to see you, and she also wants to talk... about our marriage."

His face was tinged with a barely perceptible blush.

Cui Rongrong just nodded slightly after hearing this: "Okay."

Her tone was calm, but it contained a subtle expectation.

"My mother said that I am not young anymore and I should get married sooner rather than later. Can we set a wedding date sooner?"
