Chapter 374 General's Childhood Sweetheart 26
The two of them turned around and around but did not find the so-called Daming Palace.
Xiao Qi scratched his head and said, "That palace maid pointed me to this very road. How come I can't find it?"
"Miss Song, why don't you go to the pavilion in front and wait for Xiaoqi. Xiaoqi will go find someone to ask." Xiaoqi pointed to the empty pavilion not far away and said to Song Jiao.
After walking for so long, Song Jiao was indeed a little tired.
She didn't refuse. Just when Xiao Qi was about to leave, Song Jiao suddenly called her: "Xiao Qi——"
Xiao Qi subconsciously stopped and turned around: "What's wrong, Miss Song?"
Song Jiao smiled at her: "You will come back, right?"
Xiao Qi's heart skipped a beat for unknown reason. She looked at Song Jiao, almost thinking that Song Jiao had discovered her identity, but the woman's smile was the same as usual, as if she knew nothing.
Xiao Qi remained expressionless and asked in confusion, "Miss Song, what are you talking about? Xiao Qi is just going to ask for directions and will be back soon."
Song Jiao hummed: "You go."
Xiao Qi bowed to Song Jiao and turned to leave.
Song Jiao looked at her back, holding his chin with his hand, and tapping lightly on the stone table with his other hand.
After a while, she sighed softly.
She felt a little melancholy. Why was it so difficult for her to just make friends?
Time passed by little by little, and Song Jiao stood up from the stone bench and prepared to leave the pavilion.
However, before she took a step, she suddenly heard a burst of giggling.
She raised her eyes slightly and looked over. A group of girls in gorgeous clothes were walking towards her, talking and laughing. Their voices were so loud that Song Jiao could even hear them discussing herself...
"I don't know what kind of seductive tricks Song Jiao used. I heard that it was General Pei who personally begged the Emperor to bring her back..."
"That's right! When General Pei returned triumphantly, many people saw him and Song Jiao riding on the same horse!"
"Even after being exiled, she managed to get back to the capital by wooing the generals. What other tricks could she have used?..." Su Linger, the leader, sneered, her voice sharp and full of sneer: "Isn't she just like her mother? Relying on a seductive face to make men fall head over heels for her!!"
After saying that, Su Linger snorted again: "I just didn't expect that General Pei would be fooled by that vixen Song Jiao!!"
Upon hearing this, there was a chorus of agreement.
Some people in the crowd looked at each other. They had heard before that the person Su Linger liked had proposed to Song Jiao, which made Su Linger hold a grudge against her.
Looking at Su Linger's appearance now, it is probably true.
In order to please Su Linger, some people laughed and said, "I also think that General Pei might just be playing with Song Jiao. What man would marry a woman who has been convicted of a crime?"
"That's right, I think so too..."
All of them had seen Pei Lin, and some of them had had thoughts about him. This was partly because Pei Lin was not interested in them, and partly because none of them dared to openly compete with Princess Xiyue for her.
However, who knew that he was intercepted by Song Jiao who showed up unexpectedly, so he was naturally a little unhappy.
For a time, collectively attacking and insulting Song Jiao became their outlet.
Su Linger finally felt better when she heard so many people agree with her.
He sneered in his heart, so what if Song Jiao returned to the capital?
She was no longer the daughter of the Minister of Personnel. She was a criminal, yet she dared to get entangled with Pei Lin. Given Princess Xiyue's personality, she didn't believe Song Jiao would have an easy life!
