After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

Chapter 63: You Better Not Cry

Old Lady Xiao...

Should I believe it or not?

But if she didn't, it was impossible for the wretched girl to know about this.

She made her even more fearful of Shi Qingluo.

She originally planned that after arriving at the general's residence in the capital, apart from asking her grandson to write a letter asking the wretched girl to think of ideas, she would immediately refrain herself from fooling around in other matters.

She even explained, "We didn't listen to her instigation."

Shi Qingluo gave her a knowing look. "You are a smart old lady. Of course, you wouldn't fall for her tricks."

She then asked inadvertently, "The two of you are going to the capital by horse carriage and not by boat?"

This was the main reason why she had come to send them off today.

Old Lady Xiao didn't think too much about it and replied truthfully, "That's right. We have a lot of luggage. It's troublesome to move it around by water."

Although the old couple had never taken a boat on a long journey, they had heard that sea transportation was sometimes very dangerous.

They would lose their lives if their boat capsized or if they encountered pirates.

Therefore, even if travelling by water took less time, they still chose the carriages.

Shi Qingluo agreed with her, "Yes if the seasickness is severe, you might even get sick or even die of illness after a long journey.

"Old Lady, you're so blessed. Of course, you have to save your fortune to enjoy yourself in the general's residence."

So, don't change your mind about taking the boat.

The old lady's originally calm face also revealed a smile. She liked to hear this.

If an old immortal's disciple said that she was blessed, she definitely would be.

"You're so sweet-tongued."

Shi Qingluo coaxed, "I like to tell the truth."

Old Lady Xiao was even happier. "Don't worry, when we gain a firm foothold in the capital, you two will benefit as well."

She believed that Shi Qingluo and her husband came to send her off as they hoped to gain some benefits in the future.

Shi Qingluo knew that she had misunderstood her but did not explain further.

Instead, she went along with her words and said, "I like smart people like you the most, old lady."

Thinking that she was eyeing Xiao Hanzheng's scumbag father and the benefit he would bring, the old lady and the others trusted her ideas more.

She then asked Eldest Grandson Xiao, "Do you remember what we talked about before?"

He patted his chest. "Don't worry, just wait for my letter."

Shi Qingluo gave him a thumbs up. "Very good."

Then, the people from the old residence got into the horse carriage one after another.

Shi Qingluo smiled warmly and said, "Take care!"

Do cherish the first half of the journey, and don't cry during the rest of the journey. If you want to cry, you must endure until you get to the capital.

The old Xiao family did not know what she was thinking, but they were very pleased with her attitude, and their dislike towards her reduced a lot.

After the carriage had completely disappeared from her sight, Shi Qingluo turned to look at Xiao Hanzheng. "Old Xiao, I'll leave the rest to you."

She had already hinted to him.

She had to rely on her young husband to find someone to rob them. She wasn't familiar with this.

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and held her hand. "Don't worry, just leave it to me."

These people deserve to suffer.

It would be easier for them to be demons if they went to the capital after suffering a great grievance.

He added, "I'm going out for a trip the day after tomorrow. I might be back in ten days to half a month. I'll go and take care of this while I'm at it."

Shi Qingluo recalled what he had said before. "You're going to provide medical consultation to earn money?"

Xiao Hanzheng nodded. "Yes, I'm going to earn some favour from others while I'm at it too."

Shi Qingluo asked, "Are you going somewhere far away?"

Otherwise, why would he take ten days to half a month to come back.

Xiao Hanzheng replied, "To the prefecture. It's not far, but it'll take some time."

Shi Qingluo did not know about the prefecture, so she did not probe further. "Then come back as soon as you're done. We'll be waiting for you at home."

She added, "Leave the construction and the house to me."

Xiao Zhenghan held her hand tightly. "Alright, I'll have to trouble you after I leave."

He liked hearing her words that she would wait for him at home. Having a home was great.

Two days later, Xiao Zhenghan brought along the medicinal herbs that he had recently picked from the mountain and left home.

That night, Shi Qingluo had insomnia.

Looking at the half-empty bed, she sighed. Habit was a scary thing.

Sigh, I miss my little husband!

Xiao Hanzheng, who was staying at the inn on the other side, also had insomnia.

It was only the first day he left, and he was already missing home and his little wife.

Moreover, ever since he was reborn, he never had insomnia anymore.

It was hard for him to fall asleep again, just like in his previous life.

He wasn't used to not having his little wife lying beside him.

In the following days, Shi Qingluo went to the county town to buy a few ordinary chrysanthemums while she supervised the construction of their house.

She then grafted and grew a three-coloured chrysanthemum.

Afterwards, she brought along Mother Xiao and Xiao Erlang to plant all the bamboo shoots that she had nurtured in the vacant land on the mountain.

She even watered them with the spring water so that they would not die easily.

That day, she had just returned from her new residence.

When she reached home, she saw Bai Xu sitting in the courtyard.

When he saw her, his face was filled with excitement.

The corners of Shi Qingluo's lips curled up. This fat sheep had arrived!
