After hearing what Zhou Chenli said, Xu Miao was so shocked that he knelt on the ground and broke out in a cold sweat.

She hadn't really thought about the dangerous Xu Jingyi. Given her father's character, as long as the benefits were great enough, Xu Miao would definitely be in danger of remarrying.

She began to plan to leave the Duke's Mansion, find a village in the suburbs, buy some land, and live a comfortable rural life.

She has saved a lot of money in recent years, which is enough to meet her daily life.

It seems that she thought too simply.

It is said that the older you are, the wiser you are. Neither Xu Miao nor his wife had expected that there would still be so many dangerous factors after Xu Miao left the house.

After hearing what Zhou Chenli said, the lady stopped crying. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that it was indeed the case.

She knew Xu Miao's father, Xu Jingyi, was no good at all. If he really cared about his daughter, he would have sent her to other people's weddings time and time again.

Once given the chance, Xu Jingyi will definitely force Xu Miao to remarry. It all depends on who can offer the bargaining chips that will satisfy Xu Jingyi.

"A Miao, go to Northern Xinjiang. Stay away from your father. Even if he wants you to get married, he won't dare go to Northern Xinjiang to capture you."

"Besides, you still have the Sixth Prince to protect you. Even if you don't marry him, he will treat you well as the Duke's daughter."

"I'll give you silver, lots of it. I'll let you become a rich woman in Northern Xinjiang. Once you get there, you can marry whoever you like and make that old father of yours mad."

The lady's words were shocking, and every word came from the heart.

Zhou Chenli laughed heartily after hearing what his wife said: "Oh, my wife is amazing. She even made Xu Miao a rich woman. If you have a lot of money, please give me some. I want to be a millionaire."

The lady said coyly, "Sir, how could you care so much about my little money? You are just joking, just joking."

Xu Miao.....Can you two stop showing off your affection in front of me? It's making me angry!

Zhou Chenli took out something that looked like a key from his pocket and handed it to Xu Miao: "Take this and go to Northern Xinjiang."

"This key is a token of trust. The Duke Ding's mansion has a small village in the northern border. You can ask Steward Qian for its exact location."

"When you get to the village, show the token to the village chief. He should recognize it. With the token in your hand, you will become the master of this village, and everything in the village will belong to you."

Zhou Chenli whispered, "This is the Duke Ding's Mansion's thank you gift for taking good care of A Yuan over the past few years. What do you think?"

Zhou Chenli found this token in the study after Zhou Jicheng left.

At that time, Zhou Chenli stared at the token for a long time and hesitated for a long time before deciding to carry it with him.

The main reason was that he was not sure what Xu Miao and Zhou Jicheng were going to do. If Xu Miao wanted to marry Zhou Jicheng, he would just take out the token to look at it, and he would not give it to Xu Miao.

But if Xu Miao simply wants to go to the Northern Frontier, the Duke Dingguo's Mansion might as well help her get on the horse and send her on her way.

Xu Miao received the token, so delighted that he wanted to hug Zhou Chenli's thigh and nibble on it. This village is much more valuable than the lady's silver.

At first she was worried about where to live in the northern border, but now she has become the village bully all of a sudden, so cool!

Xu Miao knelt on the ground, "dong, dong, dong." He kowtowed three times to the Duke of Dingguo and his wife.

When the lady heard the voice, she couldn't help but burst into tears and cried on the chair.

She knew that she could not keep Xu Miao, and she really couldn't bear to let Xu Miao go, especially to the distant northern border.

Seeing this, Zhou Chenli also waved his hand to Xu Miao and said, "Go ahead, go find Steward Qian and ask him about the affairs of this village."

Xu Miao also walked out of the lady's room with tears in her eyes. The family of Duke Dingguo and his wife were the greatest benefactors in her life. If it weren't for the Duke Dingguo and his wife, it's hard to say what she, Xu Miao, would be like now.

When Xu Miao, with red eyes, took out the token and handed it to Butler Qian, Butler Qian was shocked: "Miss Xu, are you going to Northern Xinjiang?"

Butler Qian naturally recognized this token, as it had not appeared in front of him for a long time.

"Mr. Qian, can you tell me about this village? The Duke asked me to come to you and ask."

Xu Miao sniffed and asked with a heavy nasal tone.

Butler Qian looked at the token for a long time and then told Xu Miao about the things happening in Hanjia Village.

"The village chief of Hanjia Village is a warrior rescued by the old Duke. I'm not sure what this warrior Han does specifically."

"All I know is that after being rescued, this warrior Han gave this token to the old Duke. He said he was going to the Northern Frontier. If anyone from the Duke's Mansion found him with this token, everything he had would belong to whoever held it, including his life."

"Later, this warrior Han brought a letter to the old Duke, telling him that he had built a village in the northern border called Hanjia Village."

"After that, there was no news."

At this point, Steward Qian sighed deeply. "Ah... Village Chief Han is probably about my age. If you find him in Northern Xinjiang, tell him I miss him very much. Tell him to take care of himself."

After more than 30 years of separation, I don’t know how this brave man Han is doing now.

Xu Miao also heard that there was something else behind Butler Qian's words. Perhaps there was something difficult to say that he didn't tell her.

However, none of this matters. As long as this Han warrior recognizes the token, that's all that matters.

When Xu Miao asked about the specific location of Hanjia Village, Butler Qian said he didn't know, but he knew that Hanjia Village was in the northern border.

This also made Xu Miao feel troubled. Northern Xinjiang is such a large area, where could she find Hanjia Village?

Forget it, there will always be a way out when you get to Northern Xinjiang. There are still many things waiting for Xu Miao to do, so Xu Miao didn't worry about it anymore.

Xu Miao returned to his room and called Chun'er: "Chun'er, I'm leaving the Duke's Mansion and going to the Northern Frontier. Do you want to go with me?"

"If you don't want to go, I'll have my wife take you in at the Duke Dingguo's mansion. I'll feel at ease with you here."

Xu Miao's first thought was to settle Chun'er. Chun'er had been with her since she first left the Xu residence. It could be said that she had been with her through thick and thin, sharing the good and the bad, and Xu Miao didn't want to neglect her.

But returning to the Xu Mansion is definitely not a good place to go.

Chun'er was also shocked when she heard that Xu Miao was going to Northern Xinjiang. She asked in shock, "Second Miss, you are leaving the Duke's Mansion and going to Northern Xinjiang?"

"Yes, Chun'er. I will soon leave the Dingguo Mansion and go to live in the Northern Frontier. The Northern Frontier is bitterly cold, and the journey is long. If you don't want to follow me, I will ask the Madam to let you stay in the Young Master's courtyard. Is that okay with you?"

Chun'er hurriedly shook her head: "Second Miss, I will not stay in the Duke's Mansion. Wherever you go, I will go. Chun'er will follow you."

Chun'er was an orphan who was bought by the Xu family when she was young and used as a maid. Otherwise, she would not have been assigned to Xu Miao by Zhao as a dowry maid.

After settling Chun'er, Xu Miao began to think about leaving the house to meet her father Xu Jingyi.

After all, she couldn't leave without saying goodbye. Her mother was still in the Xu Mansion, so Xu Miao still had to say goodbye properly.
