Chapter 373 Leaving the Capital
Seeing that Nangong Jin did not turn around, Xu Miaomiao took one last look at him, then turned and left. She didn't know why, but when she left Nangong Mansion, Xu Miaomiao's steps were lighter and happier than ever before. Perhaps it was because she was about to see Song Wushao, a smile slowly rose at the corner of Xu Miaomiao's mouth. No matter what, no matter whether Song Wushao was rich or poor, no matter in the capital or in Bai County, she was willing to accompany him forever and be with him for the rest of her lives. Since she came to this world, the only person who had supported her from beginning to end was Song Wushao. How could she not return the sincerity when someone was so sincere to her?
Xu Miaomiao thought secretly, and her steps became more brisk. She walked faster and faster towards the place where she had agreed to meet with Song Wushao. Until she saw that familiar figure, Xu Miaomiao's tightly hanging heart slowly let go. She pounced into Song Wushao's arms, enjoying the warmth in his arms freely and wantonly, greedily taking in the smell on his body. Seeing the little woman rolling around in his arms, Song Wushao held her head and held her tightly in his arms. He whispered in his ear in a gentle tone, "You were the shyest before. You were usually unwilling to be intimate with me in crowded places. Why did you change your usual behavior today?"
Xu Miaomiao heard this. She poked her head out of his arms and smiled: "As long as I am with you, I want to stay with you, stay by your side forever, lie on top of you, never leave you, be the jade pendant hanging around your waist, so that you can always carry me with you."
Song Wu Shao gently scratched the tip of her nose, then nodded and smiled slightly.
Xu Miaomiao's face was filled with happiness as she got into the carriage with Song Wushao. Although the Song Mansion had been confiscated, she still had some silver placed somewhere else, so now was the time to take it out and use it. The department store in Bai County had been receiving money in total, which was enough for them to live a worry-free life in Bai County. Even if Song Wushao was not an official in Bai County, she could still support him as usual. For some reason, she was happier when she returned to Bai County than when she first came to the capital.
When Xu Miaomiao thought of this, she slowly smiled. The carriage was swaying on the street, but Xu Miaomiao was moved. Why was the carriage moving so slowly? When would it reach Bai County?
When they were about to reach the city gate, a soldier suddenly stepped forward and surrounded the car, saying, "Zhaolie is searching for serious criminals in the imperial court. Please get off the car for inspection."
Xu Miaomiao heard this and nervously shook hands with Juan. Song Wushao noticed her abnormality and immediately reached out to pat her, saying comfortingly, "Don't worry, it's okay."
Xu Miaomiao nodded after hearing what you said, and then followed him out of the carriage. She saw that the person who got off the carriage and checked the carriage was none other than General Hou Yuan, whom she met in the mansion last time. When she saw him coming, Xu Miaomiao hid behind Wu Shao, afraid that the person opposite would recognize her. Perhaps because the distance was too great at the time, General Hou Yuan did not recognize Xu Miaomiao and just waved his hand and drove away.
Seeing this scene, Xu Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief. When she was about to get in the car, a familiar voice suddenly came.
"Madam Xu."
Hearing the voice, Xu Miaomiao was startled and immediately turned around to look. It was actually Manager Wan from Xiangchunfang and Zhang Shan from the Umbrella Shop. The two of them walked over together with a small bag in their hands. When she saw that it was them, Xu Miaomiao stopped getting into the car and waited for them to come over.
As soon as Manager Wan came over, he handed the bundle in his hand to Xu Miaomiao. Zhang San also handed it to her. The two began to talk, "Madam Xu, the Song family has suffered such a disaster, but we are not heartless and ungrateful. You can take these things as travel expenses. After being demoted, there must be many places to spend money. This is also our little token of appreciation."
Zhang Shan also recalled and said, "Yes, Madam Xu, you are the most talented woman I have ever seen. I have never seen a woman who is so successful in business. Take these silver coins with you. It will be helpful for you to take care of yourself on the road."
Xu Miaomiao looked at the two bundles handed in front of him, took a step back, waved his hand at him, and said, "Miaomiao thanks you very much for your kindness, but Miaomiao is not penniless now, how can I take your money like this? Besides, Xiangchun Shop and Umbrella Shop rely on craftsmanship, how can I take your things like this? You don't have to worry about the expenses on the road. I have already prepared everything and will not let the children down because of this matter. After all, Bai County is where I started my career. Even if I return there, I will definitely be able to run the shop well without any accidents. I'm just sorry for you. Originally, it was agreed that the two families would join forces to make this business bigger, but I didn't do it well, and you even suffered with me. Fortunately, the soldiers of those officers are also very observant and did not drag you down because of my affairs, so I am relieved."
When Shopkeeper Wan heard this, he immediately stepped forward, shook his head, clasped his fists and said to him, "Madam Xu, what are you talking about? Since we decided to open this store together, our lives depend on it. Today, we are useless and can't save you even if we watch your house being confiscated. In the future, when we are successful and merchants can have a say in the court, I will definitely clear you and your wrongs today."
Xu Miaomiao's eyes welled up with tears when she heard this, but the tears never flowed out. She thanked him and was about to leave when she saw the reluctant expression in Shopkeeper Wan's eyes. Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao immediately stopped getting into the car and said to Shopkeeper Wan, "Shopkeeper, don't worry. Weiwei has already left the city before us. She will be safe and worry-free in her life. As long as I am here, I will definitely keep her safe."
Hearing what Xu Miaomiao said, Shopkeeper Wan heaved a sigh of relief. He clasped his fist towards Xu Miaomiao and said, "With you taking care of Weiwei, there will naturally be no problems. Xiangchunfang Wanshang respectfully sends Madam Xu off."
"Umbrella shop, Zhang Umbrella also respectfully sends Madam Xu off."
Xu Miaomiao nodded slightly to the two of them, then turned and talked about the carriage. Wu Shao was already sitting neatly in the carriage. When he saw her come in, he made room for her and took her into his arms. The carriage was moving slowly, and Song Wu Shao only felt his clothes getting wet.
