Half a month later, the old Xiao family packed up their baggage and were prepared to go to the capital.

After selling their house and land, plus the money left by Xiao Hanzheng before he left, they had several hundred taels of silver in their hands.


So they used them to rent a few horse carriages to send them to the capital.

Early in the morning, the horse carriages from the county came to pick them up.

Shi Qingluo heard from the people who bought tofu and pulled Xiao Hanzheng along to send them off.

After moving their baggage into the carriage, the old Xiao family looked at their house with reluctance.

After all, they had lived there for so many years.

Now, they had to suddenly leave this place.

This wouldn't be their house anymore when they returned.

Shi Qingluo saw their expressions the moment she arrived.

Hence, she walked forward and said, "What's there to be reluctant about in this lousy place? You have better things to do.

"Doesn't it smell nicer to live in the general's residence, which is dozens or even a hundred times bigger than your old house?

"Don't tell me you still want to come back?"

These words instantly broke the reluctance and sadness of the troublemakers in the Xiao family.

This damn girl, what she said made too much sense.

How could this lousy place be comparable to the general's residence? What was there to be reluctant about?

They didn't want to come back at all.

Old Lady Xiao glanced at Shi Qingluo. "Why are you here?"

Shi Qingluo giggled and said, "I can't bear to part with you so I came to send you off."

The people from the old Xiao family uttered under their breath, how fake she was.

Shi Qingluo continued, "Although we are separated, aren't we more reliable than that son of yours who only cares about his own well-being and left you in the countryside to continue to suffer?"

The people from the old Xiao family felt the pain in their hearts.

This wretched girl must have done it on purpose.

Old Lady Xiao said unhappily, "You don't have to come and send me off."

Shi Qingluo moved closer to her, appearing as though they had a very good relationship.

With an aggrieved expression, she said, "Old lady, your words really hurt my heart. I've always been thinking of all of you."

Old Lady Xiao had goosebumps all over her body. "If you have something to say, just say it."

Shi Qingluo asked softly, "Half a month ago, didn't Mdm Hu come knocking on your door and instigate you to look for my husband to cause trouble?"

Old Lady Xiao widened her eyes. "How did you know?"

Then, she realised that she had been tricked.

But it didn't matter. The key was that she really couldn't figure out how the wretched girl knew.

Shi Qingluo raised her hand and pointed to the sky.

With a hint of mysteriousness, she said, "My master is an old immortal. What would I not know?"
