Jin Qianqian looked at Granny Zhu and suddenly smiled. "Please don't worry, you two. My husband is a scholar himself. He wouldn't force anyone to do something against their will.
We're just hoping to stay for one night. We'll leave early tomorrow morning and won't cause you any trouble."
After speaking, Jin Qianqian held up the bundle in her hands. "We brought our own dry rations."
Zhu Da turned to look at Ancient Wen Heng. "You're a scholar?"
Ancient Wen Heng pulled a document he always carried from within his robes. "This humble student is untalented, having only passed the examination to become a child student."
Seeing the vermilion seal, Zhu Da waved his hands frantically. "I can't read, but I recognize the seal of the government office. They often post notices on the city walls with a seal just like this one.
Since you're a scholar, you can stay here with peace of mind. Just leave tomorrow morning."
