After catching the culprit, the facts proved that Xie Xian and Xi Shao had nothing to do with it. The matter couldn’t be clearer.
The personnel transfer was as usual. Xi Shao received Emperor Yongping’s order to immediately leave the capital for Linhai, so he wished that Xiao Miaorong had left Jiankang with Xi Shao before the tears had dried.
The Xi and Xiao Clans, including Xiao Baoxin, were in a panic again. They all prepared themselves. By the time they left, the three families had prepared four ox carts.
Of course, Xiao Baoxin had only prepared a small portion, and he brought it along with the two cars that Madam Xiao had prepared.
This also included the gifts that Xie Wan, Chu Lingzi, Wang Qiang, and the Zu family had hurriedly prepared. Xiao Ning had also specially called Xiao Miaorong into the palace and rewarded her with several pieces of Shu brocade and a number of gold and jade heads.
Princess Xuancheng also met Xiao Miaorong in the palace. At this time, the marriage between Xuancheng and Xiao Baoshu was just a matter of time. Xiao Miaorong could be considered as Third Aunt. The two of them were originally on good terms, and since they had this relationship, Xuancheng could not neglect them. He gave a small box of pearls alone, and brought out half a box of other exquisite jewelry and jade. He went to the palace and brought back half a cart of things.
Lady Sun felt guilty and almost ruined her son’s plan. She secretly gave 20% more money and utensils to Xiao Miaorong according to Minister Xi’s orders. She also gave Xiao Miaorong 1000 silver notes in private.
As for Madam Xiao, she was the only daughter of the first wife. She had given half of her dowry to Xiao Miaorong. Silver was silver, and things were things. Even the two carriages were packed full of things, afraid that she would bring too little for her daughter.
A daughter who had just gotten married did not even have the enthusiasm to stay in her in-laws ‘house for two days. She was in a hurry to leave Jian and leave her sight. Madam Xiao had been crying ever since she heard the news. If it wasn’t for Censor Xiao stopping her and knowing that this was a good thing for Xi Shao’s future, she would have begged Xiao Baoxin to ask Xie Xian to find someone else.
A good son-in-law meant a good daughter. Madam Xiao gritted her teeth and held on.
But on the day Xiao Miaorong left Jiankang, she still couldn’t help but hug her daughter and wail, wishing she could abandon Imperial Censor Xiao and go with her daughter.
It made the ladies who were sending him off cry.
Censor Xiao had been recovering well recently, and there were no longer any signs of a stroke on his face. He had already reported to the Emperor and could go to court on the same day.
It was unknown if Xiao Jing ‘ai had placed all his fatherly love on Xiao Miaorong after his death, or if he had been infected by Madam Xiao’s sorrowful atmosphere, but this father’s hands were trembling, the corners of his mouth were trembling, and tears were rolling around his eyes.
Xiao Baoxin shivered in fear. He was afraid that his second uncle would fall ill again after seeing such a tragic scene.
He quickly pulled Madam Xiao to the side to comfort her, and secretly told Madam Xiao the truth, scaring Madam Xiao so much that she did not care about crying anymore. No matter how noisy the two of them were, it would still be the two of them when it came to the real chapter. Especially after Xiao Miaorong left, they could only rely on each other. Imperial Censor Xiao’s sons and daughters were not in Madam Xiao’s eyes, so she did not treat them badly.
Because they wanted to gather together, Xiao Miaorong left before they could even see her, so a few of the ladies who were on good terms with her simply sent her off and gathered at the city gate.
As Princess Xuancheng was in the palace, it was inconvenient to send her off, so everyone else had arrived.
Although the Zu family had recently become friends with them, they had already decided on the marriage of their children. How could they not attend such an occasion?
She followed behind a few ladies and started talking to Xiao Miaorong. When the others had finished speaking, she whispered to Xiao Miaorong whose eyes were already swollen like walnuts,
“Fortunately, the emperor was wise and investigated this matter thoroughly. Otherwise, I would feel very uncomfortable. Tell me, you told me and the eldest wife at that time, what if–”
“It’s impossible for you to be a 0. Don’t think too much about it.”Xiao Miaorong immediately denied it.”Even if we didn’t find out who it was, I wouldn’t suspect you. Who knows, someone might have passed by and overheard it.” Although w e haven’t been dating for long and haven’t met many times, I know that you’re a good person. Otherwise, I wouldn’t want to marry you without even having a child.”
Before Rong Zushi could explain, Xiao Miaorong snatched the topic away.
This solemn expression almost melted Zu Shi’s heart. She smiled,””! knew that we were on the same page. I was afraid that you would misunderstand…It’s fine as long as you believe me. I’m just afraid that we’ll be estranged again after a long time.”
“This is impossible. I’m going so far away and I don’t even know anyone. I’ll definitely write to you. You have to remember that you have to reply to my letter.”The last sentence was obviously a greeting to everyone around him.
“Alright, stop crying.” Wang Qiang stepped forward and pulled out a handkerchief to wipe Xiao Miaorong’s face,”
“She started crying last night, and now she’s crying again. She’ll have a headache when the wind blows on the road later. You also said that the mountains and rivers are far away, so you have to take care of your health.” “If you continue to cry, I won’t be able to hold it in anymore.”Chu Lingzi could not help but start crying. “You said that we just married into the same family. I was still thinking that we would spend a lot of time together in the future. At least we could take care of each other…You’re leaving just like that…”
The ladies all had sorrowful expressions.
Even Xiao Baoxin’s eyes couldn’t help but turn red.”.. I’ve said what I should say and seen what I should see. Let’s set off. If this continues, I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave the city by night.”
“Today, we will send you off. When you come back in the future, we will still come to pick you up.”
“That’s right.” Xie Wan wiped her tears with a handkerchief. Tell your husband to work hard and return to Jiankang sooner or later!”
Xiao Miaorong nodded and looked at Xiao Baoxin.”Sis, you have to remind brother-in-law to get it back for us as soon as possible.”
This sentence amused the sorrowful ladies. Was this to make Xi Sanlang or Xie Xian work hard?
The corner of Xiao Baoxin’s mouth twitched. If he wasn’t too ostentatious, he really wanted to shut this guy’s mouth.”Hurry up and leave. Look, the sky is turning dark because of you. If we don’t leave now, it’s going to rain.”
The crowd was having fun again, making Censor Xiao laugh along with them.
If Second Lady was still alive…Well, when he was alive, he was not liked by others and could not blend in.
At this time, the war had just subsided. Although Linhai was not far away, it would still take half a month to arrive. The Xi family was also afraid of accidents on the way, so they temporarily transferred 50 guards to escort them along the way.
However, it was not conspicuous in the city, so he waited outside the city early in the morning.
Xi Shao and Xiao Miaorong had already bid farewell to their elders at home. The day before, they had also gone to Sikong Xiao’s residence to bid farewell. The Xiao couple couldn’t bear to see their daughter off all the way to the city gate. In fact, they had already gone to Sikong Xiao’s residence to bid farewell out of respect.
Xiao Miaorong said goodbye to the ladies one by one before kneeling down and kowtowing in front of her parents..
