"The deputy governor has just handed over his duties and has not settled down yet. I will send someone to pick you up to North City after you are settled down."
She didn't want these people to go to North City at all.
The old lady sneered: "No need, last time we were able to rush to the capital to see our son, and now we can rush to see him by ourselves."
"Put aside your little thoughts, we have to go this time."
She then said to Xiao Yuanshi's followers, "Why are you still standing there? I am your master's mother. I am the boss now and I have the final say. Let's go, don't delay."
The attendant wanted to cry, but could only nod, "Yes!"
Seeing that Ge Chunru wanted to talk, he immediately persuaded her in a low voice, "Madam, let's go back to North City first."
The old lady and others are determined to go to North City. If they are not allowed to go, they will say that the deputy governor is unfilial. Knowing that they cannot stop them, why waste time and energy?
Ge Chunru then snorted coldly in frustration, turned around and got on the carriage that his personal attendants had already prepared.
Ge Chunyi also took Niu to the carriage behind.
Then the group set off for the North City.
Xi Rui and Liang Youxiao watched the team leaving.
Xi Rui looked regretful, "If it weren't for the workshop matter, I would also like to go to North City to play."
Liang Youxiao glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, there will be many opportunities to go to North City in the future."
It would definitely not be that simple for Xiao Hanzheng to be transferred to Northern Frontier.
In addition to making achievements to get promoted, he will also have to confront King Jin.
Xi Rui was not a fool either, he shrugged and said, "That's right."
Shi Qingluo and Xi Rong sat in the carriage, leisurely drinking iced juice and playing cards with their maid.
Everyone in the Xiao family is ready to go.
Only Ge Chunru was in the carriage, and she was filled with anger and rage.
Along the way, Xiao Yuanshi's personal entourage was properly arranged.
The meals and accommodations are all arranged in the best places along the way.
In the past, Ge Chunru would probably be disgusted, but after spending more than ten days in jail, this was much better than being in prison, so she didn't make trouble.
Ge Chunyi had suffered so much in the mine, and he had just been released from prison, so the conditions now were considered good, so he did not complain.
Shi Qingluo and the people from Old Xiao's family didn't make a fuss.
This made the attendant breathe a sigh of relief.
Because they were riding in a carriage and were not in a hurry on the road, the group arrived at North City nine days later.
Shi Qingluo brought the guards and sent the people from the Xiao family to the gate of the Deputy Governor's Mansion.
Old Mrs. Xiao and the others had just arrived in a strange place, and there was no one around them, so they were still a little timid.
So when Shi Qingluo suggested leaving and finding an inn to stay in.
The old lady immediately got off the carriage and took Shi Qingluo with her.
"Why are you leaving? You brought us all the way to the North City, how can we let you stay in an inn?"
"Although we have severed our relationship and separated, you can still come as guests."
"Listen to me. During the few days in North City, you and Miss Xi will live with us in the Vice Governor's Mansion."
As soon as Ge Chunru got off the carriage, he heard what Old Lady Xiao said and almost staggered.
Did this damn old woman deliberately want to keep Shi Qingluo here to make things difficult for her? She wanted to raise objections, but she was in front of the deputy governor's gate and there were many passers-by looking at her, so she couldn't speak up.
Otherwise, if the old woman was accused of being unfilial, how would she be able to live in front of the ladies of the wealthy and powerful families in the North City?
Shi Qingluo certainly wanted to stay and watch the fun of his scumbag father.
Old Madam Xiao glared at her and said, "What's wrong with that? You are my guests. How could the Second Brother not welcome you?"
Xiao Yuanshi, who had just walked out of the Deputy Governor's Mansion: "..." Of course he was not welcome.
When he heard that Ge Chunru and Lao Xiao's family had arrived, he immediately rushed over from the study.
I was just afraid that the old lady and others would do something embarrassing outside the door again and make a fool of themselves.
Who would have thought that as soon as he came out, he heard the old lady constantly trying to keep Shi Qingluo, and he suddenly got a headache.
Shi Qingluo looked up and saw his scumbag father coming out.
She looked at him with a half-smile, "Old lady, Deputy Governor Xiao has come out. Why don't you ask him if he welcomes us to stay as guests for a few days?"
Xiao Yuanshi: “…” This bad daughter-in-law must have done it on purpose.
Old Madam Xiao looked at Xiao Yuanshi, "Second Brother, we were very lucky to have Qing Luo and Miss Xi escort us along the way, so I invite them to stay at my house for a few days. Do you mind?"
Xiao Yuanshi: “…” No, I mind.
What do you mean thanks to Shi Qingluo for bringing people to escort him? Did he send a dead person? And when did the old lady and Shi Qingluo have such a good relationship? In front of everyone, Xiao Yuanshi naturally couldn't refuse his own mother.
I could only say with a fake smile: "Of course you are welcome."
He had received news from his personal followers earlier, and knew that the people from the old Xiao family and Shi Qingluo would also come to North City. He wanted to go crazy at that time.
But people were already halfway there, and he couldn't let them go back.
Originally he thought that once they arrived in North City, he would coax the old lady and the others into submission, and Shi Qingluo could stay in an inn or go directly to Prince Jin's Mansion. Since the engagement was severed anyway, it was none of his business, so he didn't need to make any arrangements.
Who knew that the old lady would always cause trouble for him.
Shi Qingluo could see that his scumbag father was not welcome.
But the more unwelcome he was, the more she wanted to annoy him.
Besides, how can you watch the show with your own eyes if you don’t enter the mansion?
So she smiled and said, "Since the deputy governor and the old lady have invited me so warmly, it would be bad for me to refuse. So Xi Rong and I will bother you for a few days."
Xiao Yuanshi and Ge Chunru: "..." You can actually shirk it.
When Ge Chunru saw the still tall and handsome Xiao Yuanshi come out, she felt aggrieved because of all the hardships she had suffered these days.
So she looked at him with tears in her eyes, "General!"
Xiao Yuanshi looked at Ge Chunru, who looked haggard and seemed to be several years older.
In the past, this look would have surely made him feel pity for her, but now he really couldn't feel that way.
Instead, I suddenly felt a little irritated.
How would others see her standing at the door as if she was about to cry right after she came back? Was she going to let everyone in North City know that she had been in jail for the past ten days?
There is also Shi Qingluo, the troublemaker here.
He was afraid that Shi Qingluo and the old lady would say something.
He looked at Ge Chunru hurriedly and said, "Madam is back, let's go in first."
Ge Chunru didn't want to complain at the door either, so she nodded, "Okay!"
Shi Qingluo whispered to the old lady, "It seems that your son still values this little wife the most. When he saw his parents coming, he greeted his little wife first."
Although her voice was not loud, Xiao Yuanshi who was not far away could hear it.
Xiao Yuanshi: “…” He knew that this damn girl had no good intentions in staying.
This provocation was too obvious, but he really couldn't explain it.
He now regrets his promise to let Shi Qingluo stay, is it too late? Today's update is over, thank you for your rewards and votes~ (End of this chapter)
