After Qiao Nian finished speaking, she was about to walk out. Unexpectedly, Xiao's mother hurriedly grabbed her hand.

His face was filled with guilt.

"Nian Nian, Mom has watched you grow up... Mom can't help you, this bracelet..." Mother Xiao said as she pushed the bracelet on her wrist towards Qiao Nian.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Nian was stopped before he could put it on.

Qiao Nian held Xiao's mother's hand and smiled, "Auntie, you don't have to be like this. I was going to leave originally, but now it's just a little earlier. I can't afford this jade bracelet."

What's more, she already has a jade bracelet on her wrist.

Although the quality is not good, it is extremely valuable to her.

It was impossible for her to take off the jade bracelet just to wear another bracelet.

Qiao Nian slowly pulled out his hand, then turned around without stopping for a moment.

Ningshuang saw Qiao Nian coming out and hurriedly stepped forward.

But who knew Qiao Nian didn't say a word and walked straight out.

Naturally, Ningshuang didn't ask any more questions and quickly followed.

Whoever thought of following him, he actually arrived at the small house where Qiao Nian lived before she got married.

Ningshuang couldn't help but say, "Miss, what happened? Why are we back?"

Qiao Nian then turned around, looked at Ningshuang, and sighed softly:

"Brother Xiao and I have made peace."

Hearing this, Ningshuang's eyes widened instantly, "How could it be? Young Master Xiao is still in a coma... Is it Mrs. Xiao? She just..."

Qiao Nian nodded slightly, confirming Ningshuang's guess.

Ningshuang was puzzled, "Why?"

The eldest young master is so close to her young lady, why would Mrs. Xiao do this?

Ningshuang really doesn't understand.

Qiao Nian did not follow her words, but said solemnly, "Xiao Heng is still kneeling in the ancestral hall. Let's pack up and leave the capital."

Even though Xiao's mother's words were hurtful, it was undeniable that now was the best time for her to leave the capital.

Only by taking advantage of these twelve hours and running far away can we no longer be entangled by Xiao Heng!

She left in a hurry just now, taking nothing with her, not even a change of clothes, so naturally she had to go back to the small house first.

Just at this moment, the door of the small house was opened.

It's Wang Er.

After Qiao Nian got married, he had been living in this small house and watching over her.

Seeing Qiao Nian, Wang Er looked surprised, "Why is the eldest lady back?"

Qiao Nian then quickly walked into the house with Ningshuang, turned around and said to Ningshuang, "Go and pack your luggage, and take the men's clothes we bought before with you."

"Okay!" Ningshuang responded and immediately went down to clean up.

Wang Er heard what Qiao Nian meant. Although he didn't know what was going on, he still said hastily, "Miss, let the slave follow you! Although the slave is useless, it is always safer to have a man to look after you along the way! "

As long as he is here, they can sit in the carriage and feel at ease.

Qiao Nian looked at Wang Er's sincere look and couldn't help but smile, "Who said you are useless? You still have to go to Xiao's house to get my dowry for me."

Now that they have reconciled, the dowry given to her by her grandmother can no longer stay in the Xiao family.

It's just that she has to leave quickly. She doesn't have time to deal with it, so she can only leave it to Wang Er.

Grandma Su had already left Beijing on the day she got married, retired and returned to her hometown.

Now besides Ningshuang, only Wang Er can be trusted around her.

Listening to what Qiao Nian said, Wang Er's eyes widened instantly, "With so much dowry, how can I do it alone..."

Qiao Nian interrupted Wang Er, "You can do it."

There were no more words, there was only trust and affirmation in his eyes.

Wang Er's heart suddenly became excited.

He didn't expect that he could gain such trust from the eldest lady.

At that moment, he nodded heavily and said, "Then I will go and make preparations. Don't worry, young lady, this matter will be done within three days, and not a single tael of silver will be missed."

Hearing this, Qiao Nian smiled sweetly and said, "Okay."

Wang Er then bowed and left.

And Qiao Nian's heart also sank to the bottom.

Those words that Xiao's mother just said are still lingering in my ears.

Especially the sentence "There is no way to solve the evil star", it was like a knife, constantly cutting her behind.

The people closest to her left one after another.

And Xiao's mother told her that it was all because of her.

My heart felt like it was tearing apart.

Qiao Nian clenched his fists tightly, took a deep breath, and then walked towards the garden.

That red plum tree is no longer as bare as it was before getting married.

Green buds sprouted from it, and the branches were full of vitality.

It wasn't until this moment that the suffocating pain in Qiao Nian's heart seemed to be relieved.

She walked to the foot of the tree and gently stroked the trunk. The memories of her past interactions with Jing Yan came to her mind, and her eyes turned red unconsciously.

"Should I keep Ningshuang?" Qiao Nian asked softly.

Ningshuang is now the person closest to her.

After leaving Beijing, I still don’t know how far I will walk, and I don’t know how many dangers I will encounter on the way.

If she was really a lone star, Ningshuang should not have been allowed to follow her.

But when she left Beijing, she had thought about not taking Ningshuang with her. Later, the girl cried so miserably that she really couldn't bear it.

Now, she naturally doesn't know how to talk to Ningshuang...

Half an hour later, Ningshuang finally finished packing her luggage.

In addition to the two men's clothes, she also went to the street to buy two horses and dry food.

After everything was ready, Ningshuang came to the garden happily.

"Miss, everything is ready. Let's set off now. Maybe we can reach Xuejia Town before dark!"

After the words fell, Ningshuang was stunned.

Where is the shadow of Qiao Nian in the small garden?

"Miss? Miss!"

She raised her voice and called out, but her voice drifted away and she received no response.

As if thinking of some possibility, Ningshuang turned around and ran towards the yard where the young lady lived before.

"Miss! Miss!"

She ran and called all the way, tears flowing down unknowingly.

But there was no sign of her young lady in the backyard, nor in the front yard...

"Miss! Wuwuwu... Miss, where are you!"

Ningshuang finally collapsed, ran back to the yard, fell down under the red plum tree and cried loudly.

When Wang Er came back, he saw such a scene.

He was startled, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Seeing Wang Er, Ningshuang cried even harder, "Wow... Miss is gone, Miss doesn't want me anymore! Wow..."

What she worried about actually happened!

The young lady must be afraid of danger on the road, so I won’t take her with me!

But they had clearly agreed before that she would go wherever the young lady goes!

Ningshuang kept crying, but Wang Er felt strange, "Impossible! If the lady doesn't want to take you, how can she let me handle the dowry?"

The person whom the young lady trusts the most is Ningshuang. If the young lady refuses to take Ningshuang away, Ningshuang must do the dowry matter!

Hearing this, Ningshuang was stunned for a moment.

Tears are still hanging on the eyelashes.

She blinked and asked in surprise, "Then, where did the young lady go?"

Wang Er frowned slightly, but his eyes fell on the tree trunk.

I saw a long mark on the tree trunk, which was obviously scratched just now!

He was immediately startled, "Oh no, something may have happened to the lady!"
