Deyang Town has Shiqi, which is Jun Mobai's secret 'private property'. Before leaving Linzhou, Jun Mobai must have arranged everything properly, otherwise, the crime of illegally extracting Shiqi could be substantial once the Emperor sends people to Linzhou to investigate.
Moreover, Yu Xiaolian suspects that Jun Mobai is a bit apprehensive. He currently doesn't have many reliable people by his side and fears that he might encounter unexpected incidents on his way back to the Capital, so he's waiting for reinforcements.
As for the specific reason for staying, Yu Xiaolian feels that it has little to do with her or Su Jingchen, and she doesn't want to risk investigating it.
Yu Xiaolian returned to Yangcheng in the afternoon, and distributing money to the five hundred militia at the cement factory would have to wait until tomorrow.
Su Jingchen was relieved when he saw Yu Xiaolian return safely.
