Dream Clothing Store has finally reopened!

On the day Mengyifang opened, it was packed with people almost as soon as it opened.

Having been closed for over three months, Nanwusi launched eight new clothing items for its reopening. Four styles are suitable for wealthy women, and four are suitable for ladies of high social standing.

These eight new outfits were sold out almost instantly upon the store opening.

After selling out all eight new outfits, Nanwusi opened up a new batch of custom orders.

After a busy morning, Nan Wusi finally got a break. These noble ladies from the capital were just too enthusiastic; even without an appointment, they bombarded her with questions, leaving her feeling overwhelmed.

After the other noble ladies had left, Song Jingxue remained. She said to Nan Wusi, "Wusi, you've been away from the capital for so long, and now that you're back, I haven't had a proper welcome party for you. How about we have one today?"

“Sure, I’m free this afternoon anyway, so we can have a good chat today. You’ve been away from the capital for so long, tell me about any fun things that have happened.” Nan Wusi said with a smile.

"Let's go, which restaurant do you want to eat at?" Song Jingxue asked.

"Just pick one anywhere." Nan Wusi didn't have any special requirements.

So the two of them found a small restaurant, asked for a private room, and began to talk.

"Did anything interesting happen on your journey to provide disaster relief?" Song Jingxue asked.

Nan Wusi shook his head. "There weren't any interesting things, but I did see some different scenery and had some thrilling experiences."

So Nan Wusi told Le Songjingxue about some things that had happened along the way, which surprised her greatly.

"I really envy you, Wusi, that you were able to leave the capital and see this vast world." Song Jingxue said with some sadness, "I also envy Xinxi, that she dared to rebel against her father and run away from home to bravely pursue her true love."

"What? Xue'er, say it again, what happened to Xinxi?" Nan Wusi was shocked. Why would Song Jingxue say such a thing? What happened to Ouyang Xinxi that made her run away from home?

"Wu Si, don't you know?" Song Jingxue's eyes widened. She thought Nan Wu Si should have known about this long ago, but considering that she had just returned to the capital, it was normal that no one had told her.

So Song Jingxue told Nan Wusi about Ouyang Xinxi in detail.

“Just a month ago, Xinxi came to me hoping I could help her leave the capital. She said that Prime Minister Ouyang wanted to offer her to the Third Prince, but she refused. She wanted to leave this place of trouble and go to find her true love, who is your eldest brother.”

Nan Wusi fell silent after hearing this. She hadn't expected that Xinxi, such a gentle and frail girl, could make such a big decision to go to the other side of the pass to find her older brother. But this was too dangerous!

The journey was fraught with danger and hardship, not to mention the numerous bandits. Ouyang Xinxi was not only incredibly beautiful, but also lacked martial arts skills like his own, making it extremely risky for her to reach the border safely.

No wonder she hadn't heard any news about Ouyang Xinxi since returning to the capital, and the gatekeeper's attitude when she went to the Prime Minister's residence was also very strange. She had been too busy and had forgotten about it. If Song Jingxue hadn't brought it up today, she probably wouldn't have known for a long time.

"How long has Xinxi been gone? Has she reported her safety along the way?" Nan Wusi is very worried about Ouyang Xinxi's safety.

“Just a few days after she contacted me, after arranging her departure from the capital, she left with her maid. However, she sent back a message half a month ago, and I don’t know her current situation.” Song Jingxue shook her head, indicating that she was not sure about Ouyang Xinxi’s current situation.

"Xinxi was too impulsive." Although Nan Wusi admired her courage, he still didn't quite agree with her.

“But she’s trying to pursue the life she wants, isn’t she?” Song Jingxue said sadly. “But I don’t have the courage. Wusi, do you know that in a few months, I will be marrying the Seventh Prince, but I don’t like him at all.”

"So you have no intention of resisting at all? Your parents must love you. They probably wouldn't force you if you didn't want to, right?" Although Nan Wusi knew that Song Jingxue would marry the Seventh Prince Xiao Heng in the original story, she still felt a little emotional upon hearing this news.

"It is precisely because my parents love me so much that I cannot be like Xinxi." Song Jingxue said with some bitterness, but she could not let go of her parents' expectations for her. Moreover, there were some things she could not explain to Nan Wusi right now.

"Since this is your final choice, you can try to discover the Seventh Prince's good qualities. Perhaps you will develop feelings for him after spending some time together." Nan Wusi could only comfort her in this way, thinking to himself that Song Jingxue's father must have intended to support the Seventh Prince, which was why he married his daughter to him.

"I hope so," Song Jingxue could only think to comfort herself.

After returning to the General's Mansion, Nan Wusi went to ask his second brother if their parents had replied.

"Not yet." Nan Wuyu shook his head. It would take some time for the round trip, since the two places were too far apart. Even if the postman traveled for days, it would still take about half a month.

"Alright." Nan Wusi could only suppress his worries and wait patiently for news. Ouyang Xinxi had been gone for quite some time now, and if all went smoothly, she should have arrived by now.

"Second Brother, how's the investigation into the embezzlement going?" Nan Wusi changed the subject back to the embezzlement case involving disaster relief funds.

"It's not going very smoothly. Xiao Mu has done a very clean job, and we haven't found any useful evidence yet." Nan Wuyu is also very troubled by this matter.

"This matter cannot be rushed; we can only investigate it slowly." Nan Wusi couldn't offer Nan Wuyu any help in the investigation, so he could only cheer on his second brother from the sidelines.

"By the way, Second Brother, did you know that Grand Tutor Song would marry his eldest daughter to the Seventh Prince, Xiao Heng?" Nan Wusi suddenly said.

"Oh? There's such a thing? I hadn't heard of it before." Based on Nan Wuyu's understanding of Grand Tutor Song, he was not a person who was content with the status quo. Since he married his eldest daughter to the Seventh Prince, it proved that he thought highly of the Seventh Prince.

Recalling what his younger sister had told him about the Seventh Prince, Nan Wuyu's opinion of the Seventh Prince had risen considerably. After all, it was unlikely that Grand Tutor Song would marry his legitimate daughter to a prince with no power or influence.
