After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

Chapter 208: Restarting Life

After seven days of vigil, the day of burial finally arrived.

Song Yanyi stayed there for seven whole days. He had lost a lot of weight, and his usually neat chin was now covered with stubble. His white clothes were wrinkled, but he seemed not to notice it at all.

"Master, where do you choose as the burial place?"

Qing'an asked softly, his voice full of caution and concern.

Song Yanyi was as silent as the lake in late autumn, quiet and heavy. After a long while, his voice was low and filled with imperceptible sadness, and he slowly replied: "Let's go to Huaiyushan."

Qing'an on the side secretly breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that the young master did not mention placing her in the Song family's ancestral tomb. Setting up a private mourning hall was already quite a stir, and if she was really moved to the ancestral tomb, the elders of the Song family would probably cause a real uproar.

In fact, Song Yanyi had never thought of letting the free-spirited woman step into the Song family's ancestral tomb and sleep with those traditional and old-fashioned ancestors.

Living with those old people who regarded rules as their life when they were alive is not a pleasure for her at all, and it will make her restless even in her grave.

He knew very well that the restraint and constraint were the most unbearable burdens she had in her life.

Huaiyu Mountain is a picturesque place. It is spring time and everything is reviving. It seems to be the most appropriate choice as her final resting place.

One day in the future, I will eventually go with the wind, and I hope to sleep here forever, guarding her side forever.

As the coffin was carefully lifted, Cuizhu and other servants scattered pieces of white paper along the winding path, as if paving a path to tranquility for this poignant journey, escorting the sleeping soul to Huaiyu Mountain.

The wind in the mountains is gentle and slightly cool. The spring sunshine shines softly, and the white paper slowly floats in the breeze, as light as snowflakes.

Song Yanyi stood in front of the newly dug tomb, his eyes closely following the slowly sinking coffin. Every shovel of dirt that fell, every time Qing'an and the others shoveled the dirt, it was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart, almost suffocating him.

It was not until the last handful of earth covered the coffin and completely obliterated all traces that he felt as if awakened by a basin of cold water and felt an unprecedented reality - she was really gone.

Despair surged into his heart like a tide. Song Yanyi closed his eyes tightly, trying to hide his slightly red eye sockets. However, the tears sliding down the corners of his eyes were like an out-of-control stream, silently announcing his inner collapse.

At that moment, his world seemed to collapse.

At the same time, Song Yanyi had not appeared in the court for half a month on the grounds of poor health, causing speculation and discussion from the outside world.

The eldest lady strictly kept the news secret and did not allow any rumors to spread. The entire Song family seemed to be shrouded in a heavy haze. No one dared to act rashly, and an atmosphere of oppression permeated the air.

"Miss, we are in Qingzhou!"

Su Yue's voice was filled with excitement and joy.

Cui Rong gently lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked through the thin silk curtain. What came into view was a towering city tower. On the gray stone bricks, the two big characters "Qingzhou" were vigorous and powerful, and particularly eye-catching.

Her eyes lit up instantly, sparkling with curiosity and anticipation: "Is this Qingzhou?"

Lin Han drove the carriage and smiled, "Yes, let's go to Shiya County to settle down first. Your brother should be here soon."

Cui Rongrong remembered that she had instructed the second wife to arrange for someone to take Ajin directly to Qingzhou. After all, Maoshan Academy was closer to Qingzhou, and should have arrived earlier than them.

"It should be soon."

Before he finished speaking, the carriage had already slowly moved to the city gate. The guards stopped them and said in a tone of indifference, "Show me the pass."

Lin Han took the imperial edict from his sleeve without any hurry and said, "I am the newly appointed magistrate of Shiya County."

When the soldier saw the imperial edict, his attitude immediately became respectful. He stopped questioning the other people in the car and bowed, "Please come in, sir."

Lin Han secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a sense of pride as an official arose spontaneously.

Although he is a small official, he is still an official after all. Being respected like this means that all his hard work over the years has not been in vain.

As the carriage continued to move forward and passed through the city, a familiar and surprising cry pierced through the noise: "Sister!"

Cui Rongrong suddenly opened the car curtain, and in front of her was the long-awaited Ajin: "Ajin!"

Lin Han immediately tightened the reins, and the carriage stopped steadily. Cui Rongrong jumped out of the carriage flexibly and hugged A Jin: "A Jin, when did you arrive?"

"I came several days early. I wanted to see you earlier, so I waited here."

Behind Ajin stood a kind-looking man, a distant relative of the second lady.

"I have already delivered the person safely, so I will leave first."

He said.

Cui Rong immediately took out a bag of silver and handed it to him, saying gratefully, "Thank you for your hard work."

The man took the silver with a smile on his face and replied politely: "It is my duty to serve my master. Miss, you are too polite."

"Please keep this matter confidential."

Cui Rongrong warned.

"Don't worry, the Second Miss has already told me."

After saying this, the man put the silver in his pocket, turned over swiftly, mounted his horse, and rode away in a cloud of dust.

Lin Han got off the carriage, and Cui Rongrong took A Jin and introduced him to him: "A Jin, this is Master Lin."

Ah Jin looked at Lin Han in confusion, then turned to Cui Rong, with a puzzled look on his face: "Sister, are you two eloping?"

Lin Han's face turned red instantly. He wanted to explain himself but found it difficult to speak. He could only look at Cui Rongrong for help.

Cui Rong gently pinched A Jin's cheek and scolded with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense."

Lin Han smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject: "Let's go to Shiya County first."

"Ok!"

Cui Rongrong readily agreed, her eyes sparkling with hope for the future.

After getting on the carriage again, Xu Shujin whispered in Cui Rong's ear: "Sister, are you going to marry him?"

Lin Han, who was driving, had his ears slightly red, apparently having heard the whisper as well.

Cui Rongrong smiled and nodded: "Yes."

"So do you like him?"

"Don't think about it, kid."

Cui Rongrong answered lightly.

"Then if we leave the Song family, will the Xu family come to cause trouble for us?"

Cui Rong stroked his head and comforted him, "Don't worry, the Xu family can't find us. To us, they no longer exist."

"what?!"

Xu Shujin's eyes widened in surprise.

"Besides, Brother Lin Han is now an official. How dare the Xu family easily provoke him?"

Lin Han, who was driving, straightened his back unconsciously, feeling a sense of pride.

Xu Shujin's eyes flashed with longing: "Then we can finally live a stable life."

"Yes, I have already made a plan. When I arrive in Shiya County, I will reopen the medicine shop and start over. You must study hard, and in the future you will be able to pass the imperial examination like your brother Lin Han."
