Chu Jinshan was frightened, and he greeted the people into the hall tremblingly. Without waiting for Chu Zhao to speak, he took out all the seals and held them in front of Chu Zhao.

"Dad is old and useless. From now on, I will leave all the business at home to you. If you don't have time, leave it to Chu Huai. Just leave this house to me and give me some money for retirement." .”

"I don't want it, and neither does Chu Huai." Chu Zhao said, "Chu Huai and Wang Baobao are now the shopkeepers of several big restaurants in the capital. They will get involved in more businesses in the future, and they will also become imperial merchants and do business with the court. , you should keep this little property of yours and run it yourself, just make sure that I can pay money at the Chu family’s shop no matter where I go.”

Chu Jinshan didn't expect that she would let him go so easily, and said repeatedly: "I promise, I promise, I will give you my seal. No matter where you go, as long as you need it, you can pay as much as you want."

Chu Zhao was very satisfied, beat him again, got up and left.

Chu Jinshan respectfully sent her outside the gate, feeling like she had narrowly escaped death.

Xiao Chi asked Chu Zhao: "Why did you let him go so easily?"

Chu Zhao sighed and said, "He is Chu Huai's biological father. If he dies, Chu Huai will have to go home for the funeral. This time is enough for Chu Huai and Wang Bao Bao to open two more shops. Time is so precious, why waste it on him, besides, none of his sons are of any use. If he dies and the Chu family collapses, wouldn’t I lose a small treasury?"

Xiao Chi: "..."

Can this also be considered a reason?

After all, Chu Huai is what she cares about, right?

Although Chu Huai and Chu Jinshan are not close, they are still father and son, and she cannot ignore Chu Huai's feelings.

After staying in Yunzhou for a few more days, Chu Zhao said goodbye to Murong Xiao and went to Shuzhou with Iron Hammer and General Xiao.

Because Hongxiao also wanted to go with him, Beiyuan was worried, so he asked Murong Xiao for leave and went with Hongxiao.

Murong Xiao agreed to him and personally led a group of guards to send them all the way to Tingyun Pass at the junction of Yunzhou and Shuzhou.

This is where Chu Zhao and Xie Chengfeng fled to Shuzhou.

Chu Zhao still found it particularly interesting when she recalled that she and Murong Xiao chased each other all the way and were brave and resourceful. What was even more interesting was that it was during this escape that she met Wang Baobao.

Murong Xiao was very emotional when he thought about what happened back then. He sent Chu Zhao out of Tingyun Pass and stood at the foot of the city tower watching her and Xiao Chi lead everyone away.

Her back on the horse was still so heroic, and every parting was so neat and neat, never sloppy.

Murong Xiao waited for a long time, but did not wait until Chu Zhao turned around.

"I've never seen such a heartless woman." He muttered and was about to turn around when he heard Chu Zhao calling him: "Murong Xiao!"

Murong Xiao turned around in surprise and saw Chu Zhao riding towards him again.

His heart trembled, and he quickly took a few steps forward.

Chu Zhao reined in his horse not far from him and said to him with a smile: "When my godson is born, don't forget to notify me to come for the wedding banquet."

Murong Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then he also laughed: "I know, let's go quickly, my mother-in-law is not like you."

"I'm afraid you'll cry." Chu Zhao turned his horse's head and shouted, "I'm really leaving this time." Then he galloped forward again, leaving behind a string of hearty laughter.

"Hey, who's crying?" Murong Xiao sneered, stopped looking at her, turned around and walked towards the pass.

……

Three days later, everyone finally arrived at Hongyan Inn, where Tie Chui's father lived.

When father and daughter reunited, Tie Zhui hugged his old father and cried earth-shatteringly.

She has always been carefree, a woman who bleeds but never sheds tears. She cried unexpectedly and made everyone burst into tears.

General Xiao saw his father-in-law for the first time and was a little at a loss. He asked Chu Zhao in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you want me to go over now or later? When I go over, what should I say and what should I call him?"

"What else can you call me dad?" Chu Zhao teased him, "Go over now, kneel on the ground and kowtow to him. He will definitely be happy."

General Xiao believed it, walked up to the crying father and daughter, plopped down on his knees, knocked his head on the ground, and called "Dad" very loudly.

Lai Hongzheng and his daughter cried sadly. They were startled by his sudden move and their tears were scared away.

"Who is this? Why do you call me daddy when you come up?" he asked Tie Hammer in surprise.

Tie Zhui glared at General Xiao speechlessly, wiped his tears and said, "Dad, he is the son-in-law I found for you."

Lai Hong opened his mouth, looked at General Xiao's silly look, and asked Tie Zhui worriedly: "Are you afraid that you won't be able to get married, so you found a fool?"

"Hahahaha..." Everyone laughed.

General Xiao then realized belatedly that he had been deceived by Chu Zhao, and hurriedly got up and said: "Dad, I'm not stupid, don't worry, I'm smart!"

"Hahahaha..." Everyone laughed louder.

Laihong looked at him and then at the cheerful inn decorated with the help of Qingyu and Ziluo, and suddenly regretted that he had not asked in advance what kind of person his son-in-law was.

My daughter's condition is a little bit difficult to marry, but she can't marry a fool just because of that!

Chu Zhao had no choice but to step forward and explain: "Come to the shopkeeper, don't be afraid. Your son-in-law is really not stupid. I was just worried that you would break down from crying, so I gave him ideas to make you happy."

"Oh, that's it." Lai Hong nodded and welcomed everyone into the inn with doubts.

The wedding was scheduled for five days. After that, Laihong still couldn't feel completely at ease. He kept looking for opportunities to test General Xiao to see if he was really not stupid.

General Xiao was about to cry but had no tears. One time while eating, he complained to Chu Zhao: "Your Majesty, you have killed me."

Chu Zhao said: "Why don't you perform falconry for your father-in-law? A fool can't do falconry. He will know that you are not stupid at a glance."

General Xiao: "No, I will never be fooled by you again. I have never seen any fool perform falconry for my father-in-law."

"Hahahaha..." Everyone laughed so much that they sprayed rice all over the floor.

Five days passed quickly, and the long-awaited wedding finally arrived.

On this day, the spring breeze was warm and the spring scenery was bright. Tie Zhui held a grand wedding with General Xiao in the witness of a group of relatives and friends.

Because General Xiao had no family of his own and had no home in Shuzhou, he skipped the wedding ceremony and the two of them worshiped heaven and earth directly in the lobby of Hongyan Inn.

The entire inn was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and it was full of joy. In such a lively atmosphere, Chu Zhao looked out again and again, but never saw Xu Hui's figure.

Xu Hui said in the letter that after he sent Miss Wei home, he would come directly to Shuzhou to attend Tie Hammer's wedding.

Now, both Iron Hammer and General Xiao are going to worship heaven and earth, and he did not appear.

So, he probably won't come, right?

Chu Zhao was somewhat conflicted. On the one hand, he wanted him to come, but on the other hand, he thought that it would be good if he stayed in the capital for Wei Lingxi.

It was important to witness Tie Zhui's happiness, but she hoped that Xu Hui could also find her own happiness.

Just as I was thinking about it, someone outside suddenly shouted: "The wedding money is being thrown away, hurry up and grab the wedding money."

Coins rained down like rain, and the people crowded at the door dispersed and all ran to pick up the money.

"I came late and almost missed witnessing the happy moment of Hammer Girl."

A clear and smiling voice sounded, and Xu Hui Shi Shiran walked in from outside.

The spring sunshine shone on him, and his smile was gentler than the spring breeze.

But there was no other person beside or behind him.

Here he is, having traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, he is still alone.
