But the situation is urgent. The path of Mu Qingchen is the fastest way he could think of.
"When do you need it?" Mu Qingchen asked.
This was an agreent.
Although he knew that with Mu Qingchen’s personality, he would not refuse his request, he still breathed a sigh of relief.
He wrote: "Today, the sooner the better."
Local people would need at least ten days to half a month to handle the inner city pass, while foreigners would need a month just to pass the Honglu Temple’s review. Completing the entire process in three months is considered good luck.
"Alright, I’ll deliver it to you before dinner."
Mu Qingchen agreed almost without any hesitation and didn’t even ask for whom the National Duke was handling the pass.
The National Duke wrote: "Thank you, Qingchen."
Mu Qingchen replied: "I promised Yinyin that I would take good care of you."
The National Duke looked at Mu Qingchen’s departing figure with a sigh in his heart.

Since Gu Jiao and her family were moving in, naturally the idle people in the residence had to be cleared out.
"What did you say?"
In Miao Ruoxin’s courtyard, her personal maid looked incredulously at Steward Zheng in front of her, "My lady has been living well in the Duke Residence, why does she have to move out?"
Steward Zheng smiled politely and said, "Miss Miao has been in Yan Country for so long, she must be feeling hosick. Now that the Duke’s health is improving, we dare not force Miss Miao to stay in the residence any longer."
These words were nicely put, but the aning was clear.
Please, help yourself.
Steward Zheng took a brocade box from the hands of a servant behind him and handed it to Miao Ruoxin, "This is a small token from our Duke. Although the consultation fee was already settled back then, since Miss Miao is leaving, this travel expense has been prepared for you."
The maid was furious: "Who said my lady is leaving!"
My lady hasn’t yet beco the daughter-in-law of your Duke Residence!
Miao Ruoxin’s reaction was calr than the maid’s.
In fact, this was not the first ti the Duke had hinted for her to leave.
As early as when the Duke could write freely, he had tactfully expressed his intention to send her off, but at that ti the Duke had not done so in front of a third party, giving her plenty of face.
It was her own unwillingness to leave, coincidentally, the Second Mada had accidentally twisted her waist while picking flowers, so she stayed under the pretext of treating the Second Mada’s waist injury.
Miao Ruoxin said: "It’s not urgent these few days, the Second Mada’s waist injury is not yet healed..."
Steward Zheng, with a forced smile, said: "As for the Second Mada, the residence has already invited a doctor. We dare not force Miss Miao to stay and suffer from hosickness."
No matter how thick-skinned Miao Ruoxin was, she could not act shalessly in front of the servants and refuse to leave.
She said: "Then I will pack up my belong..."
Steward Zheng smiled: "The carriage has been prepared for you, right at the door! Guards have also been selected to escort you back to Chen Country! Of course, if you want to further admire the customs of Dayan, they will follow you and await your orders!"
Miao Ruoxin’s face burned with embarrassnt.
This was not sending her off, it was clearly expelling her!
Miao Ruoxin said calmly: "I still have so personal matters in the city these days. Once I’m settled, I will send my address. If the Duke and the Second Mada need , they can co find anyti."
That’s unnecessary!
Miao Ruoxin took a deep breath, cald her emotions, and said: "Please wait a mont, I have so belongings to..."
Seventeen or eighteen capable maids and old servants sward in, neatly awaiting orders.
"Many."
Miao Ruoxin muttered the last word, never wanting to speak again in her life!
Half an hour later, Steward Zheng politely sent Miao Ruoxin and her servants onto the carriage.
Miao Ruoxin looked at the Duke Residence where she had stayed for half a year, feeling sowhat reluctant. Outsiders only knew that the Duke had gone bankrupt for the Xuanyuan Family, but only those who had lived in the Duke Residence knew how much wealth the Duke had accumulated over the years.
Since ancient tis, scholars have been proud and disdainful of wealth.
But not the National Duke.
Although he was not a greedy person, he deeply understood the importance of money. He could adopt and discard a scholar’s identity with ease.
The more she interacted with him, the more Miao Ruoxin admired the National Duke, and the more she wanted to beco his treasured one.
Unfortunately, after all her efforts, her ardent passion ended up in vain!
Miao Ruoxin: "I haven’t had ti to bid farewell to the Second Mada—"
Steward Zheng: "Goodbye! We shall never et again!"
