After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

Lin San said, "Speak."

Wang Zhao asked, "Do you believe Yang Hong'er?"

"What do you mean?"

Wang Zhao said awkwardly, "It's about him saying he dreamt that Xie An appeared to him in a dream..."

Wang Zhao didn't want to doubt Yang Hong'er, but this dream-related matter was simply too bizarre.

How did he obtain the clues?

Lin San, however, said, "Whether it's a dream or not is not important."

"Huh?" Wang Zhao asked blankly, "Why?"

Lin San explained, "Whether it was a real dream or he obtained some clues, it's the same for us."

Wang Zhao seemed to understand, but not quite.

Lin San said, "You've come at the right time; I need to talk to you."

"What?"

"I'll take you back to Caixia City tomorrow. Remember to pack your bags tonight."

"Huh? Going back tomorrow..." Wang Zhao said softly, "But I don't want to go back yet..."

His voice was too soft for Lin San to hear clearly. "What did you say?"

"I want to stay!" Wang Zhao raised his voice. "I want to investigate the case with you."

Lin San said, "No."

Wang Zhao originally wanted to squeeze out a couple of tears to feign pitifulness.

However, he couldn't squeeze out any tears, so he didn't look pitiful at all; instead, his exaggerated facial expressions made him look quite comical.

Lin San sighed, put down his brush, and said, "What's with that expression?"

Wang Zhao said: "The expression after being severely hurt."

Lin San: "..."

Wang Zhao plopped down next to him, clinging to his arm affectionately, "Third Brother..."

"Please, please let me stay."

"I promise I will behave and will not cause any trouble."

"Third brother, you're the best."

Lin San remained unmoved.

Wang Zhao: This cold-hearted man!

He took a deep breath. "Anyway, I have legs, I can go wherever I want. If you kick me out, I'll come back on my own."

"I'll sleep in front of the county government office. If you still try to kick me out, I'll become a beggar and live in the City God Temple."

Lin San said, "Then you can stay."

Before Wang Zhao could finish his tirade of threats, he heard something as beautiful as heavenly music.

He was overjoyed. "Really?"

Lin San nodded, "Mm."

"Third Brother, a gentleman's word is as good as his bond," Wang Zhao said. "You can't lie to me."

"……Um."

Wang Zhao left satisfied, carrying the empty bowl.

After Lin San saw him leave, he very naturally took out a sheet of blank paper from a stack of paper and wrote a letter to Wang Zhao's good elder brother, the youngest vice minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

Wang Zhao was unaware that some men had two faces, and he happily began to cram in his detective knowledge.

During this period, several more cases occurred in Song County, but they were all petty thefts and trivial matters.

There wasn't a single case that was thrilling or exciting.

Wang Zhao couldn't help but feel somewhat frustrated.

But then I thought, the absence of cases proves that Song County is peaceful now, which is a good thing.

He was in a good mood every day, especially when he was with Lin San.

He used to think that scholars were useless, and his third brother looked very weak and frail.

After getting to know him better, Wang Zhao now feels that his third brother has quite a few good qualities.

He's intelligent, eloquent, skilled at autopsies, adept at solving cases, and adept at addressing people's livelihood issues.

He used to think that scholars like his third brother only knew how to compose poems and write about romance and nature...

Lin San gradually got used to having a noisy young man by his side, and he would feel uncomfortable if Wang Zhao were not around one day.

When Lin San received Wang Rui's reply, he felt a strange, indescribable feeling, like... reluctance?

He was always patient, and although he had some unusual feelings in his heart, he could completely tolerate them.

After reading Wang Rui's reply with a calm expression, he finally felt a little relieved.

Wang Rui is currently unable to leave and will only have time to pick up Wang Zhao after the New Year.

Lin San felt that this should be considered good news.

Wang Zhao was completely unaware of all this; he had become completely integrated into the county government.

Furthermore, after the previous registrar left, everyone assumed that Wang Zhao would be the new registrar.

Wang Zhao felt that the position of chief clerk was very important. Since everyone trusted him, he should definitely come up with a plan.

We cannot let everyone down!

Lin San originally intended to randomly request a position as a registrar from the local academy, but unexpectedly, Wang Zhao volunteered to give it a try.

The position of registrar can be directly appointed by the county magistrate, and Lin San, not wanting to dampen his enthusiasm, agreed.

That day, Wang Zhao came to find Lin San carrying several thick volumes of documents. Just as he went in, Lin San came out at that moment.

The two bumped into each other.

Documents were scattered all over the ground, and Wang Zhao was lying on top of Lin San.

In the emergency, Lin San instinctively pulled the young man into his arms.

Well, now the two of them have fallen together, looking quite intimate.

Wang Zhao hurriedly got up from the man's arms, but before she could stand up, she fell down again.

This fall was quite a coincidence.

The two shared a brief kiss.

Wang Zhao's eyes widened.

Lin San was also dumbfounded.

The two locked eyes and kissed.

"Sir, someone is beating a drum."

When the yamen runners appeared, they saw the situation clearly, covered their eyes, and took their leave.

Lin San: "..."

He helped Wang Zhao up. "Where did you hurt yourself?"

Wang Zhao shook his head stiffly.

Lin San said, "I'll go check ahead, you..."

Wang Zhao realized what was happening, and his cheeks instantly turned bright red. He pretended to be calm and said, "Yes, Third Brother, you can go ahead and get busy."

Lin San wasn't much better off; his ears were completely red.

He could even hear his own strong heartbeat.

Wang Zhao belatedly began to feel shy.

After this incident, the relationship between the two became subtly complicated without them realizing it.

Wang Zhao was unusually well-behaved; he didn't even argue with Lin San anymore.

Although Lin San appeared indifferent on the surface, he had actually already begun to think about the future.

After several days of careful consideration, he made up his mind.

After he told Wang Zhao his idea, Wang Zhao blushed and ran away.

A little while later, he ran back on his own.

"Third Brother, I'm willing to marry you."

After he finished speaking, he stared at Lin San with bright eyes.

Lin San rubbed his head.

Regardless of what others think, if Wang Rui finds out about this, he will definitely challenge him to a duel to the death.

I initially said in the letter that I would help him take care of his younger brother, but I never expected that we would end up taking care of each other.

Lin San's idea was simple, after all, Wang Zhao was a younger brother.

As the husband, he must take responsibility for what happened.

Furthermore, after spending this time together, he might have already fallen for her.

Wang Zhao was so kind; he illuminated all the dark corners of his life.

As for Wang Zhao, there are many reasons why he is willing to marry her, the most important one being... he has unknowingly fallen in love with his third brother.

Although he didn't know what mutual love meant, he did know that things can be accomplished by human effort!
