Ge Chunru’s facial expression changed.
“The deputy governor has just handed over his duties and hasn’t settled yet. He will send people to pick you up when he does.”
She doesn’t want these people to go to the north town.
Old Lady Xiao sneered: “No, we were able to go to the capital to see our son last time, we can also rush to see him this time.”
“You’d better put away your little thoughts. We have to go this time.”
She then asked the attendant: “Why are you still standing there? I am the mother of your master. I am the boss now. 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 speak, he immediately persuaded in a low voice: “Madam, let’s go back to Beicheng first.”
The old lady and others were determined to go to Beicheng. They would say that the deputy governor was unfilial if they were not allowed to go. Knowing that they could not stop it, why waste time and energy?
Ge Chunru then snorted in frustration and turned to get on the carriage that the attendant had prepared long ago.
Ge Chunyi also took Mrs. Niu to the carriage behind.
Then the group set off for North City.
Xi Rui and Liang Youxiao looked at the team leaving.
Xi Rui had a look of regret on his face as he said: “If it weren’t for the workshop, I would also like to go to North City to play.”
Liang Youxiao glanced at him: “Don’t worry, there will be many opportunities to go to North City in the future.”
It would not be that simple for Xiao Hanzheng to be transferred to the Northern Frontier.
In addition to making achievements for promotion, he was afraid he would have to confront Prince Jin.
Xi Rui was not a fool, so he simply shrugged his shoulders: “That’s right.”
Shi Qingluo and Xi Rong sat in the carriage, leisurely drinking iced juice and playing cards with the maid.
The people in the Xiao Family were all ready to fight.
Only Ge Chunru was furious in the carriage.
Along the way, Xiao Yuanshi’s attendant arranged things properly.
For meals and accommodation, he arranged the best places along the way.
In the past, Ge Chunru would probably dislike it, but after more than ten days in prison, it was much better than being in prison, so she didn’t make trouble.
Ge Chunyi suffered so much in the mine, and he had just been released from prison, so he also thought the conditions were good. He didn’t bother to complain.
Shi Qingluo and the people of the Xiao Family didn’t make a fuss.
This made the attendants feel relieved.
Because they were riding in a carriage, they were not in a hurry on the road, so they arrived in the North City nine days later.
Shi Qingluo took the guards and sent the people of the Xiao Family to the gate of the Deputy Governor’s Mansion.
Old Lady Xiao and 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 proposed to leave and find an inn to stay in.
The old lady immediately got out of the carriage and took the initiative to pull Shi Qingluo.
“Why are you leaving? You sent us to North City, how can we let you stay in an inn?”
“Although we have severed our relationship and separated our families, you can still come as guests.”
“Listen to me, you and Miss Xi will live with us in the Vice Governor’s Mansion during the few days in North City.”
Ge Chunru almost stumbled when she heard what Old Lady Xiao Xiao said as soon as she got out of the carriage.
Did this damn old woman deliberately want to keep Shi Qingluo to make things difficult for her?
She wanted to raise objections, but many passers-by looked at her at the gate of the Vice Governor’s Mansion, so she couldn’t speak.
Otherwise, if the damn old woman accused her of being unfilial, how could she face the noble ladies of the North City?
Shi Qingluo certainly wanted to stay and watch the fun of her scumbag father.
But she pretended to say: “Isn’t this a bad idea? Vice Governor Xiao may not welcome us.”
Old Lady Xiao gave her a glare: “What’s wrong with that? You are my guests. How could the second son not welcome you?”
Xiao Yuanshi, who had just walked out of the Vice Governor’s Mansion: “……”
Of course, I don’t welcome you.
Hearing that Ge Chunru and the Xiao family had arrived, he immediately rushed over from the study room.
He was afraid that the old lady and others would do something embarrassing outside the door again, making people laugh at them.
Who would have thought that as soon as he came out, he heard the old lady constantly trying to keep Shi Qingluo, and he immediately had a headache.
Shi Qingluo looked up and saw the scumbag father coming out.
She looked at him with a smile: “Old lady, Vice 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 Lady Xiao looked at Xiao Yuanshi: “Second Son, we are grateful to Qingluo and Miss Xi for escorting us along the way, so I invite them to stay at my house for a few days. You don’t mind, do you?”
Xiao Yuanshi: “……”
No, I don’t mind.
What does she mean by being grateful to Shi Qingluo for escorting them? 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 mother.
He could only smile and say: “Of course you are welcome.”
He had received news from his followers before. He knew that the people of the Xiao Family and Shi Qingluo would follow to Beicheng. He wanted to go crazy at that time.
But they were halfway there, and he couldn’t let them go back.
Originally, he thought that when they arrived in Beicheng, he would coax the old lady and others, and Shi Qingluo would stay in an inn or go directly to Prince Jin Mansion. Anyway, the relationship was broken, and it was none of his business, so he didn’t need to make arrangements.
Who knew that the old lady would always find trouble for him?
Shi Qingluo could see that her scumbag father doesn’t welcome them.
But the more he was not welcome, the more she wanted to annoy him.
And if she didn’t enter the mansion, how could she see the show with her own eyes?
So she smiled and said: “Since the deputy governor and the old lady have invited me so warmly, it would be bad if I refused. Then Xi Rong and I will disturb you for a few days.”
Xiao Yuanshi: “……”
Ge Chunru: “……”
You can refuse.
Ge Chunru saw the still tall and handsome Xiao Yuanshi coming out. She had suffered so much these days, and her grievance suddenly emerged.
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 make him love her, but now he really couldn’t have that feeling.
Instead, he suddenly felt a little irritated.
How would others see him standing at the door looking like he was about to cry just after returning?
Is she going to let everyone in the North City know that she has been in prison for more than ten days?
There was still Shi Qingluo, the troublemaker.
He was afraid that Shi Qingluo would say something to the old lady.
He hurriedly looked at Ge Chunru 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 would not have good intentions to stay.
This provocation was too obvious, but he really couldn’t explain it.
Is it too late for him to go back on his promise to let Shi Qingluo stay?
