“You guys go look for Miss.”

Su Qing ordered a few guards to look for Xiaoying. What was this girl doing? The guard agreed to leave. Su Qing ordered the car to be driven outside the government office. She put on a cotton cloak and went outside to wait for Xiaoying.

Time ticked, but none of the guards who looked for her returned. Xiaoying was nowhere to be seen.

“Go to my godmother’s grave and take a look.”

Su Qing ordered the two servants to go to Godmother’s grave. Xiaoying had a deep relationship with Godmother, so she might have visited Godmother’s grave before she left.

“Wait for Miss here. Wait for her to return and pick me up at the relay station.” Su Qmg couldn’t just wait here. The envoys of Tartan were still waiting at the relay station. She had to go and meet them first. After instructing the servants, she went to the relay station. It snowed again last night. The white snow glittered under the sun, making it difficult for people to open their eyes. Su Qing had no choice but to squint and walk forward.

When Su Qing arrived at the relay station, Herkan of Tartan had already been waiting for a long time. The carriage carrying the betrothal gifts had also rushed out. He was waiting for Su Qing and Xiaoying to arrive before leaving. Seeing that Su Qing had come by herself, Herhan looked behind her. Was the Young Mistress coming or not? Why didn’t the carriage come, and why didn’t Miss Xiaoying come?

Su Qing apologetically to Herkan when she saw that Herkan was already fully prepared and waiting for her and Xiaoying.

Something came up at the last minute.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine... Where’s Miss Xiaoying?”

Herkan smiled and shook his head. How could he blame Su Qing and Xiaoying’ He couldn’t afford to offend either of them.

Su Qing accompanied Herkan to wait at the entrance of the relay station. She had taken a body-warming pill and did not feel cold. Herkan was a civil servant in the Tartan Kingdom, but the civil servants in their country were not weak scholars. They were all capable of literature and martial arts, so he was also very resistant to cold.

It was just that waiting made him anxious. He kept looking in the direction of the government office. Why wasn’t his future master here yet?

Su Qing was getting impatient. What was wrong with Xiaoying today? She was ever so punctual.

Did something happen?

This thought flashed through Su Qing’s mind, and she couldn’t stand it! She couldn’t let the people of Tartan see her anxiety. If something happened to Xiaoying, she couldn’t let Herkan and the others know. Su Qing called out to Zhong Yong,

“Zhong Yong, you go with Herkan and the others.”

The envoys of the Tartan Kingdom could not suffer any mishaps in their country. Those betrothal gifts were eye-catching. Afraid they would encounter any mishaps on the way, Su Qing ordered a general of the Xiao Family Army to escort them.

”That...Aren’t you going together?”

Herkan also felt uneasy. Why should he leave first?

“I suddenly remembered that I still have something important to do. You guys go first. I’ll catch up with you after I’m done.”

Su Qing couldn’t say she couldn’t find Xiaoying, so she could only use work as an excuse.

“Young Madam has work to do, so I’ll take my leave first.”

Father Jiang and Aunt Jiang were scared of poverty. Everything was good. They had to carry everything they had to the Northern Barbarians.

Auntie Li and a few women from the Peach Blossom Cove came to see them off.

They were all teary-eyed, unwilling to let their old friend leave.

When they saw Su Qing, the Jiang couple hurried over.

“Su Qing, you even came to send us off personally.”

Su Qing nodded and said,

“Have a safe journey.”

“Sister Su Qing.”

Jiang Yuyan reluctantly ran over and held Su Qing’s hand, tears welling in her eyes.

“We will meet again.”

Su Qing pulled her hand out. Other than Xiao Zeyu and Xiaoying, she wasn’t used to anyone touching her. She instinctively wanted to fight back, afraid she would accidentally hurt Jiang Yuyan.

Sister Su Qing, why isn’t Xiaoying here?”

Jiang Yuyan saw that Su Qing had come, but Xiaoying did not follow. Thinking that she was leaving, Xiaoying would also get married, and she might never see her again; she wanted to see Xiaoying even more.

“Xiaoying didn’t come?”

Li Shuang ‘er, who was at the side, was anxious. When Sister Su Qing was looking for Xiaoying, she thought Xiaoying was with Jiang Yuyan.

“No, she said yesterday that she would come to see me off.”

Jiang Yuyan shook her head. She couldn’t help but look at Su Qing. Did something happen to Xiaoying?

She didn’t know where Xiaoying had gone when she saw Jiang Yuyan. Su Qing became even more anxious.

“Take this token and show it to the soldiers guarding the city. They will let you leave.”

Su Qing took out a token that represented herself and handed it to Jiang Yuyan. The city gates had been closed on her order, and no one could leave. Without the token, the Jiang family could not leave.

“Why is the city sealed?”

Jiang Yuyan took the token and felt uneasy. Xiaoying didn’t come, and Sister Su Qing ordered the city to be sealed. ‘Did something happen to Xiaoying?’

“Okay, you guys should leave quickly!”

Su Qing didn’t explain and only urged Jiang Yuyan and the others to leave. She turned around and walked towards the government office.

“Sister Su Qing, did something happen to Xiaoying?”
