Chapter 632 Leaving Together

"Master Wang, there is no rush to look after the house. You should wash up first."

Staring at the women leaving, the man's face became increasingly gloomy: "I won't let you go!"

As soon as they returned to the inn, Xu Miaomiao immediately helped Xu Xi wash and dress up. The dress she wore last night was already damp and cold. In addition, after such a night, Xu Miaomiao was really afraid that she would catch a cold, so she helped her make ginger soup for the night: "Ginger soup drives away the cold, you should drink some."

Xu Xi wolfed down the cakes and drank the ginger soup. After finishing everything, she looked at Xu Miaomiao with tears in her eyes: "Sister, I thought I would never see you again."

Seeing her like this, Xu Miaomiao felt a little heartbroken. She held her in her arms and comforted her gently: "It's okay. No matter where you go, I will find you."

"Um."

Xu Xi nodded cherishingly, never wanting to leave again.

"By the way, how did you get to the palace yesterday? What happened in between?"

Xu Miaomiao was still a little curious about what happened yesterday, and looked at Xu Xi and asked questions out loud.

Xu Xi took a sip of ginger soup, then looked at Xu Miaomiao and explained, "Yesterday, after my sister and I separated, I headed south, but it was raining so hard that I took shelter under the eaves. Then I saw Master Wang's carriage coming. He thought I played well, so he wanted me to go to their house and play a song for him, and I agreed."

"At that time, when I first arrived at his house, I met Madam Shaoyao. Then Young Master Wang said that he had played with him and asked Madam Shaoyao and the others to go back. I understood what he meant and wanted to leave, but I was thrown into the woodshed. When I woke up, I saw you, my sister."

"sorry."

Xu Miaomiao tucked all the messy hair around Xu Xi's ears behind her ears, looked at her and said, "It's all my fault for not protecting you well."

Xu Miaomiao still felt a little guilty about this matter. Perhaps it was a mistake for her to bring Xu Xi to Nanjiang in the first place. Now that she had experienced such a thing, Xu Miaomiao felt uneasy.

"Sister, I want to go home."

Hearing Xu Xi say this, Xu Miaomiao was stunned, and her magic wiped away the tears in her eyes, and then she said: "If you want to leave, then we will leave tomorrow."

"Um."

With Xu Miaomiao's constant coaxing, Xu Xi finally fell into a deep sleep on the bed. Seeing her like this, Xu Miaomiao felt distressed. However, if they were to leave tomorrow, they had to tell those ladies. Besides, it was Mudan's mother who helped Xu Miaomiao rescue Xu Xi today.

Seeing that the sky was still clear, Xu Miaomiao went out immediately and soon arrived at the inn where Shaoyao and the others had stayed.

But what she saw was that on the second floor, these ladies were hurriedly packing their luggage. When she saw that it was Xu Miaomiao, Shaoyao immediately came over and said, "Madam Xu, why are you here?"

Xu Miaomiao immediately bowed to the woman, and then said, "Madam Mudan helped us rescue Xiaoxi today. I should come here to thank Madam Mudan."

"You're looking for Sister Mudan. She hasn't come back yet. She went out to buy something. She should be back soon. Madam Xu, please wait in my room for a while."

Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao nodded and helped Shaoyao pack up: "By the way, Madam Shaoyao, why are you packing up and going back to Nanxiang today?"

Shaoyao nodded, looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Yes, Master Wang said he was tired of us and asked us to go back. However, we only need to stay here for one day, but it will cost him a thousand silver coins. We have been here for such a long time, so it is normal for us to go back now."

"I see."

Xu Miaomiao was helping Shaoyao pack the things in her hands, and nodded in response to Shaoyao.

"But, Madam Xu, let me tell you, it's not like that."

Shaoyao walked up to Xu Miaomiao mysteriously, and whispered into her ear, "That young master Wang doesn't really like Sister Mudan, but after you peed on him today, he lost face a long time ago, and Sister Mudan also hates him, so he doesn't have the heart to provoke Sister Mudan anymore, so he let us go back."

Sure enough, it was because of what happened in the morning. Xu Miaomiao nodded slightly. She had thought of this.

While packing her clothes, Shaoyao continued, "This young master Wang only has some silver to attract us. One thousand taels a day is actually nothing to him. We can earn eighty taels a day. Excluding some deductions from mom, each of us gets a lot of money. This young master Wang is really generous."

As Shaoyao said this, she counted the silver she had on her.

Thinking of Xu Miaomiao beside him, he immediately said, "By the way, Madam Xu, when are you leaving?"

"tomorrow."

After packing up all of Shaoyao's things, Xu Miaomiao finally answered.

Hearing Xu Miaomiao's words, Shaoyao's eyes lit up, and she looked at Xu Miaomiao and continued, "Great, we are leaving tomorrow too, Madam Xu, we can be together again."

Xu Miaomiao nodded slightly and smiled at Shaoyao.

Although the government officials had already investigated the last time they encountered robbers, and she heard that the robbers had all been arrested, Xu Miaomiao was still a little worried. After all, having one more companion on the road would give her a greater sense of security.

"What are you talking about?"

Suddenly, a sound was heard outside, and Xu Miaomiao saw Mudan walking slowly towards them with a hairpin in her hand.

He threw the thing in his hand to Shaoyao, and then took one and gave it to Xu Miaomiao.

There is a peony shape on the hairpin.

Xu Miaomiao's is in the shape of a lotus: "What does this mean?"

Xu Miaomiao raised her head in confusion and looked at the person in front of her. Shaoyao beside her smiled and said, "What? Every time we go out, Sister Mudan will find the best jewelry store on the street to make a hairpin for each of us. We will discuss it as soon as we arrive, and then give it to us when we are supposed to leave. Madam Xu, Sister Mudan treats you as one of her own."

After hearing what Shaoyao said, Xu Miaomiao looked at the cold-faced but warm-hearted lady in front of her with some surprise. No matter whether it was on the boat or in the palace today, Mudan had helped her so much but never said a word. Xu Miaomiao was somewhat grateful.

I still remember the first time I saw Peony, she was so cold and indifferent, which is very different from now.
