Chapter 92

Chu Huan left Xiangyun Inn when the heavy snow had finally lessened. He bid farewell to Rulian and Bai Xizi, and also inquired about the location of Hesheng Spring from Bai Xizi. Then, he rode his large black horse at a gallop and finally returned to Hesheng Spring.

He tied the black horse outside, intending to just go in and inform Han Yuan, then return to Liu Family Village to check on his family, so they wouldn't worry.

Entering Hesheng Spring, the staff saw him and all cheered, crowding around him, each showing great enthusiasm. When Chu Huan said he had been released without guilt, everyone was even more delighted.

Chu Huan had only been at Hesheng Spring for a few short days, but his prestige there was already very high, and everyone respected him.

When Han Yuan heard that Chu Huan had returned, he hurried over. Chu Huan then gave a brief account of what had happened at the county office, omitting what shouldn't be said. After listening, Han Yuan stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "Hu Wei oppressed the people, and now he has been arrested, which is what he deserves. The lives of the people in our Qingliu County will likely improve in the future." Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and said, "Chu Huan, the head of the household instructed that if you return, you should go see her. I almost forgot about this."

Chu Huan was taken aback and asked, "The head of the household has returned?"

"She returned in the middle of the night yesterday," Han Yuan lowered his voice. "The head of the household was worried about you and didn't sleep all night. This morning, the head of the household received news that you had been released and was very pleased. I just went to check, and she seems to be waiting for you. You should go see her."

Chu Huan felt a surge of gratitude. He knew that Linlang had struck the drum in the capital city the night before and had rushed back the same night. With him in prison, Linlang had been running around tirelessly for the past two days.

Following Han Yuan's directions, Chu Huan came to a quiet room in the wine shop. It was a small courtyard with only one room, where Linlang usually rested. No one could enter without her permission.

In the courtyard were two plum trees. Amidst the snow, the plum blossoms were in full bloom, white and red, looking very elegant and ethereal.

Chu Huan arrived at the door, which was slightly ajar. He gently pushed it open, and the room was filled with a faint, pleasant fragrance. This delicate scent mixed with the aroma of the wine in the shop, making it very pleasant.

Chu Huan entered the room and found it very quiet. He immediately saw Linlang leaning on the table, her face turned outward, and she was already asleep.

Her face was full of fatigue, and it seemed she had fallen asleep without realizing it. Her eyebrows were like ink, her nose delicate, and her lips cherry-red, even in sleep, she looked very graceful and charming.

Chu Huan knew that beautiful women often had very alluring sleeping postures, but it was rare to see someone as graceful as Linlang, even in sleep.

Grace comes from one's demeanor, and demeanor comes from habit. This graceful and charming sleeping posture revealed that Linlang was a very well-mannered person.

She had her hair styled in a palace bun, looking very strict and dignified. Her charming face had a mature and graceful charm that no young girl could possess, gentle and soft, incomparably beautiful.

The room was warm with a stove, and Linlang's cotton coat was placed to one side, not worn. She was only wearing a white dress, the snow-white dress blending with her fair skin, looking very elegant. Born into a wealthy family, she was naturally well-maintained. Although she was already a married woman, her skin was even more delicate than that of ordinary young girls.

Because her body was leaning on the table, her already full chest looked even more impressive, like inverted mountains, full and bulging, pressing forward. Her body was plump and soft, but her waist was extremely slender, making her buttocks appear even more full and round.

In fact, Linlang's buttocks were already round and full, usually appearing to protrude backward. Now, with her body leaning forward, her buttocks, sitting on the chair, were slightly raised, making the buttocks wrapped in the dress even more prominent. The tight dress outlined the shape of her buttocks to the extreme, as if they were about to burst through the fabric, forming a perfectly round and full shape.

Linlang's entire plump and delicate body, outlined by the dress, had a perfect, graceful curve, truly neither too fat nor too thin.

Seeing this, Chu Huan's heart beat faster. He now knew that Linlang indeed had a full chest and plump buttocks. Such a dignified and mature young woman had such a fiery figure, and for some reason, a memory of the time they spent alone in the forest flashed through his mind, the image of that snow-white skin still vivid in his mind.

Outside, snowflakes were flying, but inside, there was a faint hint of spring. At this moment, Linlang was truly as radiant as spring.

Chu Huan, blushing and heart racing, quickly averted his gaze, feeling guilty: "She is exhausted from trying to save you, how can you have such improper thoughts?" Seeing Linlang sleeping soundly, he didn't want to wake her and was about to leave when he noticed a patch of fair skin exposed from her arm under her head. Even with the stove in the room, it was cold, and she might catch a chill.

Linlang wasn't wearing her cotton coat, and if she slept like this, she might really catch a cold. Chu Huan hesitated for a moment, then quietly approached, picked up Linlang's cotton coat, and felt the faint, pleasant scent on it, which made his heart flutter. He felt guilty but finally steadied himself and carefully draped the coat over Linlang.

He didn't want to wake Linlang, knowing she was extremely tired, and was about to leave when he heard a soft moan. He turned around and saw Linlang open her eyes, already awake.

Chu Huan turned and smiled, "Did I wake you?"

Linlang, seeing Chu Huan, showed a look of joy, sat up, and said, "You... you're back?" Suddenly, she felt something heavy and looked down to see that she was wearing the cotton coat, knowing Chu Huan had put it on her. Her heart warmed, and she smiled charmingly, "Someone said you were already out of the county office!"

Chu Huan nodded, "I was released early this morning, but the snow was too heavy, so I found a place to shelter from the storm."

Linlang stood up, put on her cotton coat, and smiled, "Sit down first!" She pointed to a chair for Chu Huan to sit and personally poured him a cup of hot tea, smiling, "It's good that you're out. I heard that Hu Wei was behind this, and the Criminal Department from the capital city came and arrested him. This is truly a great relief!"

"Those who do evil will eventually destroy themselves!" Chu Huan said coldly, "Those who harm others will ultimately harm themselves!" He looked at Linlang, his expression softening, "Head of the household, I really owe you a lot this time. Otherwise..."

Although the Criminal Department's visit to Qingliu County wasn't really because of Linlang striking the drum, but to bring down Hu Wei, her willingness to risk being implicated for his sake still made Chu Huan very grateful.

Wei Tianqing had made it clear that the drum was no ordinary thing. Once struck, if the case was overturned, it would be fine, but if Chu Huan was found guilty, Linlang would also be implicated and punished the same as him.

Linlang smiled and interrupted, "You committed the crime for Hesheng Spring, so I couldn't just stand by. Fortunately, the governor is fair and upright, and Hu Wei has been punished. You have been released, and that's all that matters!"

Chu Huan inwardly sneered. Although he didn't know the governor's character, this time it wasn't about fairness and integrity but a struggle for power.

"Regardless, I must thank you," Chu Huan said seriously. "The head of the household struck the drum for Chu Huan, taking a great risk... I will remember this forever!"

Linlang bit her red lip, paused for a moment, and then said, "Every time I was in danger, you always came to my rescue. Why... why can't I do these things for you?"

For some reason, when Chu Huan thanked her, she felt a bit disappointed, as if his polite words made them seem more distant and formal.

Chu Huan was taken aback, seeing Linlang's strange expression, and didn't know what to say.

The room was quiet for a while, and Chu Huan finally coughed to break the silence, "Head of the household, I want to take a leave and go back to Liu Family Village... I'm afraid my family is worried!"

Linlang smiled slyly and shook her head, "There's no need to go!"

Chu Huan was taken aback, seeming to understand something, and asked, "Did the head of the household send someone to inform them?"

Linlang shook her head, smiled charmingly, and said, "I didn't send anyone to tell them. If you want to let them know you're fine, you can't go back to Liu Family Village!"

Chu Huan was confused for a moment, scratching his head, which made Linlang find him very cute. She smiled gently, and Chu Huan asked, "Head of the household, you... you've confused me!"

"Can someone as smart as you be confused?" Linlang laughed. "I won't hide it from you. I was worried that Hu Wei might harm your family, so after I returned last night, I immediately arranged for Uncle Su to bring them to the capital city. Uncle Su reported back last night that your family was taken to the capital city last night. If you want to see them, you'll have to go to the capital city!"

Chu Huan was shocked, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Linlang sat down gracefully, gazing at Chu Huan, and said softly, "Do you... do you blame me for making the decision on my own?" She was the head of Hesheng Spring, usually elegant and cold, but she was very gentle with Chu Huan.

Chu Huan shook his head and sighed, "Head of the household, you've thought of everything. I... I am truly grateful!"

Linlang smiled, covering her mouth, very beautiful, "I'm glad you don't blame me. Don't worry, I've made arrangements for them. They won't be mistreated. They are probably very worried about you. Do you want to go back to the capital city with me?"

Chu Huan nodded, "That's a good idea. Now that the matter is over, I can go and bring them back!"

"Bring them back?" Linlang deliberately frowned, "Why bring them back? I've already made arrangements for them to live there. Do you want them to continue suffering in Liu Family Village?" She then laughed, "Don't forget, you are now a staff member of Hesheng Spring, and I am the head of the household. You have to follow my orders. I'm assigning you to work in the capital city. Do you want to disobey my orders?"
