Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

In this situation, Sun Bailu had to carefully please Madam Sun in order to gain some protection.

It can be said that at this point the relationship between Sun Bailu and the Sun family has been completely reversed.

Qu Xiaoxiao was not very clear about the details of the next itinerary.

Because on this day, a team of fully armed soldiers with bright guns and armor came with a luxuriously decorated carriage to pick up Situ Zhige and Qu Xiaoxiao.

To be precise, he came to pick up Situ Zhige, and Qu Xiaoxiao was just there at Situ Zhige's request.

The leading officer and soldier saluted Situ Zhige respectfully, saying that they were sent by the King of Xinyang to pick up his nephew. Situ Zhige was initially surprised and doubtful.

He had never had any contact with King Xinyang before, and he had no idea how King Xinyang knew he was still alive and even knew his whereabouts clearly.

However, Qu Xiaoxiao's powerful mental strength did not allow her to sense any malice from the visitor, so she tried her best to persuade Situ Zhige to follow the visitor.

The reason is that Qu Xiaoxiao is tired of this journey of fleeing from the famine.

Let’s just say, no matter how comfortably the carriage is decorated, it’s not as comfortable as a high bed with soft pillows, right?

Even though she usually only stayed in the carriage during the day, she had sat there for a long time during this journey.

Since Situ Zhige was also one of the original owner's tasks, it wouldn't be considered cheating if she followed Situ Zhige and left early for the remaining ten days.

Sure enough, as soon as she opened her mouth, Situ Zhige agreed without hesitation.

Moreover, at Qu Xiaoxiao's suggestion, Situ Zhige also brought the Song family along, of course, as servants.

However, Qu Xiaoxiao did not ask the Song family to sign any indentures.

The Song family was naturally grateful.

No matter how pedantic the old Hanlin was, he knew that he had come this far thanks to Qu Xiaoxiao's overt and covert care. Otherwise, given the Song family's situation, they would never have gotten this far.

So he insisted that his children and grandchildren sign a contract to sell themselves before they could follow Situ Zhige.

Qu Xiaoxiao said:

"Don't worry, old sir. I think Brother Rensheng is smart and has a good chance of studying. If he finds a good teacher in the future, he might be able to pass the imperial examination and become a successful person."

"If he really signs the indenture, Brother Rensheng won't be able to take the imperial examinations in the future. Wouldn't that ruin his life?"

After hearing this, the old Hanlin could no longer insist. He only privately told his children and grandchildren: "A drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water."

Although there was no master-servant agreement between the Song family and Miss Qu, from now on, all the Song family members would remember the kindness and be loyal to Miss Qu. Song Liu and his wife, Song Yanran, and Song Shisheng naturally agreed.

Especially Mrs. Song Liu. She never thought that the little girl who had taken the initiative to ask her for help would become the benefactor of her family.

Of course, they didn't know at this time that Qu Xiaoxiao was indeed the Song family's true benefactor.

It wasn't just about helping them find wild vegetables and buy food along the way. If Qu Xiaoxiao hadn't given them all kinds of talismans, the whole family would have become wandering ghosts by now.

But this does not prevent the Song family from being grateful.

When their group was about to leave, not to mention how envious the other people in the refugee group were, the Sun family alone regretted it so much that they stamped their feet and beat their chests. It can be said that they regretted it so much that their intestines almost turned green.

They had known that Situ Zhige had a special identity, but they still failed to curry favor with him along the way.

If, if Sun Qingqing's plan had been implemented earlier, or if she had not offended her real fiancée Qu Xiaoxiao from the beginning and had not broken off the relationship with her, then the Sun family would have been able to benefit from it this time.

Even if they couldn't ascend to heaven with him, Qu Xiaoxiao had to take them with her out of filial piety. Even if she couldn't take them away like she did with the Song family, at least she could leave some food for them.

But it's obviously too late to regret now, as I have already been deeply offended by them.

Although the incident between Mr. Sun Sanye and Sun Qingqing was not stated explicitly, all members of the Sun family knew that it was related to Situ Zhige or Qu Xiaoxiao.

But so what.

Sun Zhengzhi had served as the Minister of Revenue, and he was extremely shrewd when it came to assessing the situation.

He knew very well that the young couple were probably of one mind at this point, and the Sun family no longer had the ability to confront the forces of these two people.

What's more, they were in the wrong this time.

If they said the young couple had harmed the uncle and nephew, there was no evidence at all. On the contrary, if Qu Xiaoxiao ignored the situation and revealed their fugitive status, they would not be able to live like ordinary citizens in Xinyang City.

Forget it, forget it, as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.

At least their Sun family still has the hope of bringing honor to their ancestors, and with the "little fairy" as their trump card, why should they worry that they won't be able to make a comeback one day?

On this side, Qu Xiaoxiao ignored Situ Zhige's reluctance to leave and insisted that he get on the carriage brought by King Xinyang alone.

She herself continued to ride in her own carriage.

Just kidding, even though Prince Xinyang's carriage looks big and luxurious on the outside, it's actually not as comfortable as hers on the inside.

Situ Zhige naturally knew this too.

And he was very reluctant to separate from Qu Xiaoxiao.

Qu Xiaoxiao looked at the aggrieved young man and finally couldn't bear it, so she packed up the ancient books in this carriage, mixed in many books that the young man had not read, and sent them to his carriage.

The boy then pouted and reluctantly accepted the short "separation".

From then on, Qu Xiaoxiao was completely free.

She had her own carriage, with no little tail following her. She could enter any space she wanted and teleport to any place she wanted.

At worst, she could come back when she was eating or resting. Anyway, with the curtains drawn and a barrier set up outside, no one knew whether she was actually in the carriage.

The palace's guards were well-trained, so the two of them didn't have to worry about the rest of the journey. Everything, from travel to accommodation, was arranged properly and comfortably.

Therefore, it would take a large group of people fleeing famine more than half a month to travel, but they rode at full speed and arrived in five days.

As they passed through the city gate, the leading guard greeted them. The carriage entered the city unimpeded, passing directly through the bustling streets and taking them to a relatively quiet villa in the city.

Above the gate of the villa are two large characters written in a flamboyant style: "Jingyuan".

The guards told them that they would be staying here from now on and could ask the servants for anything they needed. The palace would prepare a family dinner for Situ Zhige tomorrow, and Qu Xiaoxiao could go with them.

Someone will deliver the dresses soon, so they just need to attend.

The villa is not big, but it is decorated in a very simple and comfortable way.

At least from this point it can be seen that King Xinyang still has sincerity towards his nephew.

Qu Xiaoxiao and Situ Zhige each picked their favorite courtyard. Sure enough, not long after, someone from the palace delivered the clothes and jewelry they would wear for tomorrow's family banquet.

Each person has three sets of clothes, all of which are quite standard and suitable for the status of the two people, neither luxurious nor shabby.
