MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 547 Leave the city early

“Don’t worry, it’s just military training, it won’t hurt your life.”

Xing Zhao said it lightly, but it was also to show Xia Meng, but in fact no one knew what would happen in the future.

Once you embark on this road, you will just live with your head tied to your waistband.

After Xia Meng left, her whole body relaxed, and then she leaned on the stool and calmed down her mood. She had never felt like this before, as if there was a corner missing in her heart.

 Looking up at the cup Xing Zhao had just used, he fell into deep thought.

It was early morning on the third day when Xing Zhao left.

Everyone who should say goodbye said goodbye. He was afraid that everyone would get together and spread the sadness, so he left quietly.

I just met Butler He before going out and asked him to tell everyone when the time came.

Steward He has seen off many people over the years, so when he knew Xing Zhao was leaving, he had worries in his eyes, but he still respectfully sent him off.

 But he didn't know that Butler He turned around and saw Xia Meng coming in a hurry.

“Miss Xia, why do you get up so early? Is there something wrong?”

 “Master Cousin is gone?”

"gone."

Xia Meng was about to speak but stopped. She held the bottle in her hand that she had not yet sent out, and silently folded it back.

Steward He has been watching people for so many years, so he can't make mistakes, so when he sent the news to Xitang Courtyard, he also mentioned the matter by the way.

"You mean, Miss Xia was originally planning to send her off, but it was just a step too late?"

 “This is what the old slave means.”

Du Jingyi suddenly felt like he was not afraid of being late for a good meal. If this temporary separation could really make both of them understand what they were thinking, it would be a great good thing.

 So, although he appeared calm on the face, the excitement in his heart was still there.

"Housekeeper He, please go to your cousin's yard later to see if there is anything missing. When you go out, you have to be well prepared. If there is anything, I can let someone go. Send it, do you understand?"

No matter how stupid Butler He was, he knew what his wife meant, so he nodded quickly. Even if he didn't, he had to find an excuse.

Xing Zhao, who was speeding towards the south city gate at this moment, would not have thought that he would see Xia Meng in the army in a few days.

 Sui'an City, at the gate of the south city.

 Guo Silang was guarding here early this morning. Since he found out last time that Xing Zhao was going to join the army, he has been waiting here these days, just to see if this is really the case.

 Unexpectedly, I really made him wait.

Xing Zhao pulled the reins, stopped the galloping horse, and then said.

 “Why are you here? Are you waiting for me on purpose?”

Guo Silang has always been on guard against Xing Zhao, so he was a little surprised when he saw him really coming, so he said without hiding it.

“Yeah, wait for you, let me see if you really want to go?”

 “Do you believe it now?”

“If you believe me, remember to tell Brother Six when you go over there. I will always be with him no matter what.”

Xing Zhao deliberately pretended to be disgusted and said to Guo Silang.

“Who wants to be with you? Where do you put your cousin sister-in-law and cousin Xue? Really, they are both fathers, and they still love to say such silly things and are not afraid of being laughed at?”

Hearing this, Guo Silang rubbed his head in embarrassment, and didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore, so he shouted to the people behind him. “Let it go!”

Then he stepped aside and threw the wine bag on his body. Xing Zhao caught it, opened it, smelled it, and said with a smile.

 “A big investment has been made.”

Guo Silang hummed twice and did not answer, but the meaning was still very clear. This was for him to warm up on the road.

“Thank you. When I get to my cousin’s place, I will definitely say a few more good words to you!”

Xing Zhao was still as amused as ever, and then he raised his whip and ran towards the outside of the city. Guo Silang watched his retreating figure and gave a rare laugh.

 But he quickly calmed down his expression and said to the others.

　　“Everyone, cheer up and keep your guard up!”

"yes!"

The sun rose in the east, and when the sunshine filled the entire city of Sui'an, the people in the Xing family's main house also received the news.

Mrs. Xing was very dissatisfied with her nephew's "escape", and then said to her husband.

"This boy is spoiled rotten by the third brother and his younger siblings in the family. Look, as soon as he said he wanted to find a wife for him, she disappeared without a trace. He even talked about joining the army. It's really a joke. His temper is so bad. If you join the army, I'm just afraid that wherever you go, the generals will have a headache."

Mr. Xing also fully agreed with what his wife said.

However, he was holding the booklet that Xing Zhao had compiled a long time ago in his hand. He felt that he was quite sensible and had arranged all these concerns before running away. Therefore, Mr. Xing did not feel that he left. What a pity.

“Originally, I was thinking of introducing Marquis Xunxin’s daughter to him, so as to strengthen the relationship between our two families. Now that he has run away, it means that he is not so lucky.”

 “That’s what the master said.”

 “When will your natal nephew Wang Shuo arrive in Beijing?”

"It will take another three to five days at most. At that time, I said that I would settle in Sui'an City before the year."

Mr. Xing nodded and then asked.

 “I remember he was just over twenty-two?”

Mrs. Xing looked excited and proud, and she quickly answered.

“I remember it well, my nephew has a very good career as an official, and he is the legitimate son of the family. He will definitely be a great help to the Seventh Prince in the court in the future.”

When he heard the name of the Seventh Prince, Mr. Xing's eyes shone brightly, so he spoke directly without being polite.

"As a direct grandson of the Wang family, she is quite suitable for the daughter of the Xunxinhou family. When we hold a warm-home banquet, you can take care of it. Let the two of you get to know each other first. If there is a chance, ask your nephew to take the initiative. It’s good.”

The marriage between Xunxinhou and the Marquis of Xunxin is a good one, and the Wang family is also the dominant family in Jinling City, but to marry into the Marquis family in Sui'an City is still a tall order.

However, my master will soon be promoted to the position of prime minister, and there are still concubines and the seventh prince in the palace to support him. If this family relationship is really established, it is hard to say who has set up who.

 So he smiled particularly warmly and said.

“Don’t worry, sir, I will arrange everything.”

"Um."

The Xing family did not pay too much attention to Xing Zhao's departure from Sui'an City, so his departure went smoothly without any obstacles as imagined.

So he rode a long horse and arrived at Wangzhou in a short time. (End of chapter)
