Xiao Ran raised an eyebrow slightly. "What?"

Que'er looked conflicted, pondering for a long time without speaking. Finally, he gave up and said, "I can't say! I don't want to think about it anymore... By the way, Ran-jie, aren't you leaving yet?" He glanced to the side a few times and said, "Won't they become suspicious...?"

Xiao Ran smiled, gently tapped his head with her hand, and then walked into the clothing shop behind her. After a while, she came out with a dark-colored jacket.

"Put it on." Xiao Ran patted Que'er's head.

Que'er blushed, realizing how she could have forgotten about this. She immediately took off her shawl and returned it to Xiao Ran. Then she put on the dark-colored coat that Xiao Ran handed her, and a smile immediately appeared on her lips.

As a little beggar, where would he ever have worn such fine fabric? When he shows it off to his friends, they'll be so envious!

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said goodbye to Xiao Ran and disappeared into the alley around the corner.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but shake her head and smile, then tied her shawl and walked out of the clothing shop.

Although Xiao Ran had already gone far away, the cries of a vendor at a nearby candied fruit stall could not be ignored.

"Young lady, are you going to buy it or not... Look how much you've already eaten. We're just a small business, if this keeps up, we'll lose all our money."

The vendor looked at the girl in the lotus-colored dress in front of him. Even if she was pretty, it wouldn't do for her to keep standing in front of his stall... So he came up with a plan. He raised his voice to let everyone see. Anyway, girls are shy, and he didn't believe she wouldn't leave.

He Wan then realized what was happening, but instead of feeling resentful, she smiled gently.

"I'm sorry, uncle, I'm sorry to have interrupted your business. These, and those..." He Wan pointed to bags of candied fruit, and the vendor stared in disbelief. Then she said, "Please wrap them all up for me."

The vendor beamed and immediately replied, "Okay!"

"There are so many, it's not easy for me to carry them all. How about..." He Wan glanced at the vendor and smiled, "Take them to the General's Mansion and just give the name of General Xiao's daughter."

The vendor was initially overjoyed, but upon hearing this, he began to hesitate. He thought to himself, something was wrong. He had seen General Xiao's daughter before, but she didn't look like this... Could this young lady be Xiao Ran's newly acquired maid?

He was about to call out to the girl to ask her something, but she had already gone far away and disappeared into the crowd.

After leaving the clothing shop, Xiao Ran headed towards the General's Mansion to search for He Wan and Afu, but she couldn't find them no matter how hard she looked.

In the end, she decided to go back to the general's mansion to wait, but as soon as she arrived at the gate of the general's mansion, she turned around and saw Afu drinking tea at the tea stall.

She stepped forward and ordered a cup of tea from the stall owner. "A-Fu? What are you doing here? Where's He Wan?"

Afu didn't rush to answer her question. After eating the dried fruit in front of him, he slowly said, "I don't know. Miss Wan and I had something to do at the time, so she sent me away."

Xiao Ran was silent for a moment, then said, "I understand." After saying that, she thought of returning to the General's Mansion to talk to Xiao Mu.

But Afu stopped her, "Don't you want to know what Miss Wan went to do?"

Xiao Ran turned around and saw a faint smile in Afu's eyes, as if he had discovered something interesting.
