”Sun Chun, what's going on? Where are we going this time?” Lee's sat on the horse carriage and took care of the unconscious Xia Li as he asked Sun Chun who was sitting in the corner and resting with his eyes closed.
”I'll take you all out of the Jing'an County and avoid the battles here.” Sun Chun said straightforwardly.
”Then did you discuss it with my daughter, and she agreed as well?” The Lee's was puzzled and asked carefully.
”Yes.” Sun Chun responded indifferently, he did not say anything else.
Ever since Xia Qing entered the private school to study, he had completely fallen in love with reading. He sat inside the carriage without saying a word, with a book in his hands, he concentrated on reading.
”Then where are we going now?” Lee's was still a little worried as he felt that something was off. After all, he left in a hurry this time.
”Go to the capital and give Little Li a headache.” Sun Chun replied.
”Beijing?” Lee's was completely shocked, she could not believe the words she had just heard. She had lived for most of her life, and the furthest she ever went was Jing'an County.
”Wow, let's go to the capital, do you have Jing'an County there?” At this time, even Xia Qing could not help but put down his book and ask softly. His round eyes were filled with anticipation.
”The capital is at least ten times the size of Jing'an County. You can have whatever you want, but the prerequisite is that you have to study hard in order to be able to stay there.” Sun Chun pinched Xia Qing's apple cheeks and pulled him to teach him how to read.
”I will definitely stay there.” Xia Qing said in a serious tone, and then followed after Sun Chun to read.
Lee's quietly wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. She was very pleased and began to concentrate on taking care of Xia Li.
Perhaps it was the blessing of the heavens, the overcast weather, and the refreshing breeze. The weather was not hot after a few days of light rain. The coachman took advantage of the opening of the heavens to increase his speed.
In less than four days, they arrived at the capital.
After sending the coachman away, Sun Chun went into a clothing shop and bought a few clean clothes. After meticulously changing his clothes, Sun Chun's skin was dark, his teeth was buck, there was a mole on his face and his voice was low.
When Sun Chun arrived in front of Lee's, he was so shocked that Lee's covered his mouth. It took him a long time to recognize that it was Sun Chun.
”Sun Chun, what are you doing?” Lee's did not understand him more and more.
”With the huge amount of money on us, it would be easier for us to attract attention. It would be safer to keep a low profile.” Sun Chun's explanation quickly garnered the support of the Lee's. Upon hearing that it was related to the safety of their family's silver, the Lee's didn't say anything more.
Sun Chun arranged for a few people to stay at an inconspicuous inn on the outskirts of the capital. Just as the sky brightened, Xia Li led a few people to the city gate, where they went to find a famous doctor in the capital to treat Xia Li's headache.
At this time, Xia Li had already woken up, and was forced to accept the fact that she was far from the Jing'an County, and had come to the capital.
After the two of them had looked through the famous doctors for a while, when they finally returned to the inn near the capital, Xia Li, who was lying on the bed, struggled for a long time before finally saying what he was thinking to Sun Chun.
”Send me back to the Jing'an County.”
”You've also heard the doctor's diagnosis. It's a headache caused by a long period of hard work. If you want to completely cure it, you have to leave behind the stress and overwork of your previous life.”
Sun Chun brought Xia Li into his embrace, and advised him: ”Marry me, and you can also live a peaceful life with no worries. I will help you withstand all the storms.”
”No, I can cure you if you're sick, but I don't want to rely on a man for everything. I also have my own plans, I don't want to be locked in a house for the rest of my life.”
”Xia Li, can you not be so stubborn, I am doing this for your own good!” Sun Chun couldn't wrap his head around it at the moment and tried to advise Xia Li.
Xia Li used all his might to push Sun Chun away.
”You've been with me for so long. If you don't understand what I'm thinking, then we have no intention of continuing.”
”Leave, I want to be alone for a while!” Xia Li pointed to the door and chased Sun Chun out.
Although he was angry in his heart, Sun Chun looked at Xia Li for a while, then turned and left the room.
Xia Li laid on the bed and sobbed silently. She could not admit defeat, no matter what, even if she had to lose this person, she had to hold on to her position.
Outside the room, Sun Chun was alone with a jug of wine, leaning on the door and drinking mouthful after mouthful, the worry in his heart had accumulated to the bottom of his heart, hoping that drinking wine would be able to alleviate the pain, but he did not know that drinking wine would worsen his worries.
The jug of wine was empty, and he threw it into the corner, causing Sun Chun to fall asleep outside Xia Li's room.
