The yamen runner originally wanted to kill Su Xiaoxiao to avoid trouble, but when he thought about the carriage that did not belong to ordinary people and Su Xiaoxiao's clothes were not ordinary, if he killed them all rashly, it might cause trouble. So they had to pretend to be yamen runners and not kill anyone.

The man caught Su Xiaoxiao and comforted her in a cold voice.

"Madam, run away quickly. Leave these thieves to us!"

He threw Su Xiaoxiao behind him and she fell to the ground.

Although I fell, I was safe.

Because she was pretending to be a yamen runner, no one paid any attention to her and continued to chase Peng Xuemin and his group.

Su Xiaoxiao no longer hesitated, stood up and ran towards the carriage.

When she ran out of the woods, she saw Xiao Ran and his group also running towards her.

When they saw her appear safely, the tension on everyone's faces eased a little.

"Wife, wife, are you okay?"

Xiao Ran ran first, holding Su Xiaoxiao's hand and looking at her constantly.

At this moment, he wished he had two more eyes so that he could examine Su Xiaoxiao more carefully and comprehensively to avoid any negligence.

"I'm fine, let's get in the car and leave. We shouldn't stay here for long."

Everyone knew the danger of the situation, so they hurriedly got on the carriages and the convoy immediately headed for the capital.

In the carriage, Zhao Wanzhu was the first to ask, "How come we encountered soldiers chasing bad guys on this road?"

Lan Ling also echoed.

"Who said it wasn't? It's so scary! If anything happens to my sister, I will definitely ask the local authorities for an explanation. The capital is still so unstable, it doesn't matter whether I serve as an official or not."

Jiang Lanlan said with a worried look on her face, "Xiaoxiao, are you sure you're not hurt anywhere? If you are, please tell us immediately!"

"I'm really fine, very fine. Luckily, the officers caught up with me in time and I was able to escape danger."

This matter is of great importance and is fraught with danger, so Su Xiaoxiao does not intend to tell anyone.

After confirming again and again that Su Xiaoxiao was really fine, everyone finally let go of their worries.

In the evening, when they arrived at the inn, Su Xiaoxiao found an excuse to pull Xiao Ran aside and told him what Peng Xuemin had asked her to do.

Xiao Ran was shocked.

"Wife, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier?"

"I'm afraid that if Mother and the others find out, they'll get worried too! This matter is of great importance, the fewer people who know about it, the better. Tomorrow when we arrive in the capital, we'll immediately go find General Li Mu!"

"Okay! I'll tell everyone later that we'll set out at daybreak tomorrow."

Little did they know that their conversation was heard clearly by Jiang Lanlan who was passing by.

She widened her eyes, clasped her hands tightly against her chest, and prayed in her heart, hoping that Peng Xuemin would be fine.

In order to prevent Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran from discovering her, she left before they did.

……

After another half day of travel, they finally arrived in the capital before lunch.

Lan Ling invited Su Xiaoxiao and others to live in her house, but Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran declined.

Su Xiaoxiao, Xiao Ran and their group came to the Meng Mansion and stayed at Meng Zhengxin's home.

Meng Zhengxin had received Xiao Ran's letter a long time ago. When he learned that Xiao Ran was coming with his wife and mother-in-law, he was extremely happy. He arranged for the servants to clean up the room they were going to stay in many days in advance.

After hearing that a group of people had arrived at his doorstep, he hurried to the door to greet them.

After some greetings, Meng Zhengxin welcomed everyone into the yard and instructed the kitchen to prepare food.

As soon as I sat down, Gu Zhen's voice came from outside.

"Have my good sister-in-law and that silly cousin arrived yet?"

When Xiao Ran heard the voice, his face instantly darkened.

Seeing Gu Zhen walk in with a smile, she scolded, "What are you talking about, cousin? Who is your silly cousin?"

Gu Zhen answered directly: "You! You are my only cousin. Who else can I have besides you?"

Everyone knew Gu Zhen's straightforward and honest personality, which made everyone burst into laughter.

Xiao Ran was angry, "Grandpa, look, my cousin is bullying me again! In front of so many people, how can I, a man, not have any dignity?"

Meng Zhengxin stroked his goatee and laughed.

"It's a bit embarrassing indeed! But there are no outsiders here, so let's have some fun!"

Xiao Ran raised an eyebrow.

"What? You're just asking me to entertain everyone!"

Gu Zhen pressed on, "Why? You don't want to?"

Xiao Ran really wanted to punch him, but he couldn't and didn't dare, so he could only respond with a frustrated sound.

"I am willing!"

Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter again.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Ran's aggrieved expression and found it somewhat cute.

If no one was around, she would kiss Xiao Ran without hesitation.

After the joke, everyone greeted each other.

Meng Zhengxin said, "You've come just in time. The food will be on the table soon. Why don't you stay and eat with me?"

Gu Zhen asked someone to bring a chair and sat between Su Xiaoxiao and Jiang Lanlan.

"If Grandpa doesn't tell me, I won't leave."

The family had a happy meal and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Xiao Ran and Su Xiaoxiao had no intention of sleeping at all. They took the evidence given by Peng Xuemin and went to the general's mansion.

When they arrived at the gate of the general's mansion, after the doorman opened the door, Su Xiaoxiao did not directly say that she wanted to see General Li, but said that she wanted to see Madam Du.

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran looked unfamiliar, the doorman asked them to wait while he went to report.

Du Mei, who had just returned to Beijing a few days ago, heard the servant come to report that Su Xiaoxiao wanted to see her. She immediately smiled and asked someone to invite Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran in.

Du Mei asked excitedly, "Why did Miss Su suddenly come to the capital?"

"It was a last-minute decision!"

Du Mei guessed something when she heard this, but she didn't show it on her face.

"Have you just arrived in the capital?"

"Exactly!"

"Why are you looking for me so urgently? Is there something wrong?"

Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran looked at each other and no longer concealed the truth.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "To be honest, I want to see General Li!"

Du Mei frowned slightly.

"Why do you want to see him?"

"It's important! I have to ask for your permission, Madam. I have something very important to tell General Li in person!"

Although Du Mei didn't know what Su Xiaoxiao wanted, she still agreed.

Li Mu happened to be in the mansion, so she asked Nanny Shen to call Li Mu and the Zheng couple over.

When Li Mu and Zheng learned that Du Mei was looking for them, they immediately rushed over.

As they were about to enter the flower hall, Li Mu was the first to ask, "Why did Mother call us here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, two people walked in one after another.

Du Mei said: "They have something important to see you about!"

Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran stood up and saluted.

"Greetings, General Li! Madam Zheng!"

Li Mu and Zheng's attention immediately shifted to Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran.

When they saw Su Xiaoxiao's appearance clearly, they were both stunned.

Zheng couldn't believe what she saw. She rubbed her eyes and stood up subconsciously.

"This, this, this... they are too similar!"

Li Mu, a burly and strong man, had his pupils shrink slightly when he saw Su Xiaoxiao and Li Manhui looked exactly the same. He kept trembling and made subconscious sounds.

"Little sister..."
