Xie Jinnian not only came out to collect the debt, but also asked about the investigation.
The guards of the City Lord's Mansion have not yet found any suspect in the city who matches the person in the portrait.
Xie Jinnian thought about it and said to the chief guard, "We can't rule out the possibility of disguise. Look for him based on his figure. Also, send another team to look outside the city."
Not all the islanders of Qianshan Island live in Fengdu City. There are also some villages and markets outside the city.
The captain of the guards took the order and made arrangements immediately.
Xie Jinnian carried the bird cage and got on the carriage back to the City Lord's Mansion.
The Five Tigers did not expect that they would have a bad start. On the first day on the island, they encountered their "former owner" and were taken away as a pet.
Its little wings grasped the iron cage, and its heart silently shed two lines of iron-barred tears. -After sailing on the sea for so long, everyone was very tired.
Su Xiaoxiao, Xing'er and Xiao Ruyan all slept until noon.
Except for the saint and the energetic Nie Xiaozhu.
They both got up early.
The saint was meditating with her eyes closed on the floor in the corridor.
Nie Xiaozhu walked over cautiously.
He came before the saint and waved his hand in front of her.
Seeing that the saint had no reaction, he quietly took out a small green snake from the small bamboo basket he was carrying and placed it on the saint's skirt.
After playing his little prank, he turned and ran.
He ran out of the yard in one breath.
As I was running, I suddenly felt something was wrong and my belly felt cold.
He stopped, pulled open his little dress and looked inside.
The little green snake was actually on his belly!
“Uhh—”
Nie Xiaozhu screamed in shock! -Su Xiaoxiao planned to go for a walk on the street today.
Get to know Qianshan Island, buy some supplies, and also transport the things I took out from the pharmacy.
Xiao Ruyan came to find her.
When she is not in a fight with Nie Xiaozhu, Xiao Ruyan is an absolutely gentle beauty.
I just don't know what kind of person her husband is. I never heard her mention him along the way, and I didn't see him when I got home.
Su Xiaoxiao is not the type to ask questions casually, she knows her limits.
"Xiaoxiao, did you sleep well last night? Are you used to it?"
Xiao Ruyan asked with a smile.
Su Xiaoxiao said: "It's good. I haven't slept so well at home."
Xiao Ruyan was very pleased with this, but she still said modestly: "You are tired. I asked someone to make some fish porridge, and we will be able to eat it soon."
Su Xiaoxiao said sincerely, "Thank you, Madam. By the way, why don't you see Xiaozhu?"
Speaking of this, Xiao Ruyan was a little confused: "He said he wanted to eat at his grandma's house today. It's strange, he hates eating vegetarian food the most. Maybe he has been away for too long and misses his grandma."
While eating breakfast, the saint looked at the bowl of milky white fish fillet porridge with a look of despair on her face.
After dinner, Su Xiaoxiao said to Xiao Ruyan, "Madam, I want to go out for a while."
Xiao Ruyan said sympathetically: "After being on the boat for so long, it will be boring to stay at home. If your body allows, I will go out for a walk with you."
Others might not think Su Xiaoxiao is that troublesome, but they would inevitably worry about her advanced pregnancy and would advise her not to wander around.
Xiao Ruyan is different.
Su Xiaoxiao found that it was quite comfortable to get along with Xiao Ruyan.
"Wait a moment, I'll go call that brat..." Xiao Ruyan resisted the urge to grit her teeth and roll her eyes, and smiled gently, "My dear son."
Not long after, Nie Xiaozhu came over with his mother.
Su Xiaoxiao and her group also changed into their traveling clothes.
Nie Xiaozhu came to Su Xiaoxiao and pointed at the Saint not far away: "Is she going?"
This was the first time Nie Xiaozhu took the initiative to talk to him.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled in surprise: "Go ahead."
Nie Xiaozhu: "Can she not go?"
Su Xiaoxiao: "Don't you want her to go? But she is very powerful and can protect us."
Perhaps to prove her master's words, the saint girl quickly picked up a huge dragon-shaped rock in the yard.
Nie Xiaozhu was scared away!
Su Xiaoxiao said to the Saint: "Don't scare him."
Several people got on the carriage for the trip.
After arriving at the main street, Su Xiaoxiao discovered that Fengdu City was very prosperous and lively.
The shops on both sides and the street vendors are doing good business.
Although there are many martial arts sects and a strong sense of chivalry in the martial arts world, provoking trouble on the streets is a serious crime, so the streets are relatively peaceful.
"Let's go buy clothes for the baby first!"
Xiao Ruyan suggested.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled: "Okay."
Xiao Ruyan asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the largest cloth shop in Fengdu City.
"Even the city lord's wife is a frequent visitor here."
Xiao Ruyan pulled Nie Xiaozhu down when he had half climbed out of the window.
Su Xiaoxiao helped Nie Xiaozhu and said, "Doesn't the city lord have a wife?"
Xiao Ruyan asked: "Huh? You know?"
Su Xiaoxiao said: "I have heard a little about Fengdu City."
Xiao Ruyan didn't ask her where she heard it from: "Originally, there wasn't any, but Madam Ru is pregnant and about to give birth. When she gives birth to a son, she will be made the legal wife."
So, the city lord has a biological son?
This lady has not been pregnant for many years since she gave birth to her daughter.
Ever since the city lord's adopted son went out on business, she just happened to get pregnant.
By the time the adopted sons came back, the matter was already settled and the children were about to be born.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but admire the methods of this lady.
No wonder he was able to sow discord between the Palace Master of Baihua Palace and the City Lord back then.
"That's Madam Ru."
Xiao Ruyan lifted the car curtain and pointed outside and spoke to Su Xiaoxiao.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Ru got on the carriage as soon as she came out of the shop, and Su Xiaoxiao only saw a bulging pregnant belly.
After entering the shop, Xiao Ruyan was more excited than Su Xiaoxiao.
She looked at those cute little clothes and was so excited that her eyes were glowing green.
Good, good, I really want to have another child! When he looked at Nie Xiaozhu squatting on the ground picking ants, his face darkened and he rolled his eyes.
No more children.
Xiao Ruyan was also a frequent customer of the shop. She was very generous. As soon as the boss sent Mrs. Ru away, he came to entertain her personally.
"This is——"
The boss looked at Su Xiaoxiao beside Xiao Ruyan.
Su Xiaoxiao did not disguise herself, her true appearance was stunning, even more beautiful than the daughter of the City Lord's Mansion, and the boss couldn't help but take a second look at her.
Xiao Ruyan smiled and said, "She is my friend, and her husband's surname is Wei."
The boss hurriedly said politely, "It turns out to be Madam Wei. Excuse me, please go upstairs!"
The group went to the upstairs wing.
This cloth shop sells all kinds of clothes. The owner asked Su Xiaoxiao if she was also looking for ready-made clothes.
Xiao Ruyan didn't know how to do needlework, and there was no embroiderer at home, so all her clothes were made directly by the cloth shop.
"Ready-made clothes." Su Xiaoxiao said.
The boss went downstairs to get clothes, both for adults and children.
Xiao Ruyan said she would buy baby clothes first, but when she was choosing, she chose Su Xiaoxiao first.
"We'll pick it up tomorrow after the size is changed."
A woman's clear and pleasant voice came from outside the door.
Xiao Ruyan turned her head and looked: "Are they here too?"
Su Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "Who are they?"
Xiao Ruyan took a piece of clothing and compared it to Su Xiaoxiao: "The people in Baihua Palace are strange, they never buy clothes from outside."
Upon hearing the word Baihua Palace, Su Xiaoxiao immediately gave the Saint a look.
Chase! At three o'clock, I was waiting for the diagnosis code at the hospital. Today was also a diligent day.
