Father and daughter for so many years, Xu Chaoqian could guess his thoughts with just one look on his face.

She knew that her father was not really worried about her safety, but wanted her to give him a reason that could convince others.

Thinking of this, she smiled warmly: "Thank you for your sympathy, father, but my wife must have had many misunderstandings about the house this time, so she sneaked out of the house overnight. The daughter thought that if she wanted her to change her mind, it would have to be her father, or It is only effective if my daughter goes to explain in person. It’s just..."

She glanced at Xu Chaoqian's legs and continued, "It's just that my father is in a lot of inconvenience now. As the eldest daughter, and now she is in charge of the affairs of the joint government, after much thought, it is best to go there in person."

Xu nodded and quickly fiddled with the abacus in his mind:

I'm afraid that Xu Liushi is completely useless, and it would be best to die outside!But after all, they have been married for many years. If they really don't care about it, wouldn't it make people who don't know the truth feel uncomfortable?

Moreover, if she really returns to the Liu family, she will definitely not let him go. What if he does something that tarnishes his official reputation?

So, he made up his mind: "What you said makes some sense. Since you have made up your mind, it's not easy for my father to stop me, so I will let you do it. My father will prepare the necessary documents for you along the way."

After saying this... Luo Shu on the side pricked his ears in disgust.

Xu Chaoqian didn't notice these small movements, and he thought of another question:

Now that Xu Rongrong is the head of the county, his comings and goings must be quite grand... How much money will this cost?

So, he asked again: "...how many people are you planning to take?"

Xu Rongrong looked at those shrinking eyes, thought for a moment, and replied: "Madam has been gone for a few days, so my daughter has to drive lightly to catch up. Chu He is very skilled, and Wen Yao is careful and appropriate, so he took them with him." Two people are enough. Father, does it suit you?"

"Suitable, suitable!" Xu Chaoqian let out a long sigh of relief: There are only two of us, so it won't cost much money!

So he waved his hand and said, "All expenses for this trip will be paid from the public account."

Xu Rongrong: "..."

She held back her nausea and briefly explained some of the affairs in the mansion.

Xu Chaoqian naturally responded.

On the way back to Wutong Courtyard, Xu Rongrong passed by the flower garden and sniffed the last ray of fragrance before winter, dispelling the nausea in her heart.

Luo Shu said distressedly: "When will Miss stop having to deal with people like Master?"

Xu Rongrong looked at her: "You are so brave, even the head of the family, you dare to comment."

"How does he look like the head of the family... After being an official for so many years, he still..." Luo Shu paused.

"Did you think it was in the dog's belly?" Xu Rongrong picked it up for her with a smile.

Luo Shu blushed.

Xu Rongrong rolled her long hair around her temples with her fingers, thoughtfully: "Not all people are responsible. Some people... pursue selfish desires, are greedy for power, ignore the suffering of the people, and don't think about their families. As long as they live happily, they will be fine." .”

"But... you are his biological daughter." Luo Shu was angry.

"So what if I'm a biological child? In his eyes, my daughter is just a tool, an object. But in fact, he is the same in my eyes." Although she is now the county head, in the eyes of the world, she is just a mere tool. She is a young girl who has not yet left the court. If she had not been ordered by her father to show her face alone in the world, she might have caused a lot of unnecessary trouble.

But with the paperwork he provided, she would have no worries and just do what she wanted to do.

Luo Shu understood the lady's thoughts, but she had new doubts: "But isn't Madam already here?..."

Xu Rongrong nodded and said: "Yes! But my father doesn't know that. I just need to let him know that I am going out this time to find his wife, and he will not stand in the way. Moreover, searching for someone is a troublesome thing in the first place, no matter what He won't become suspicious as long as I go."

Hearing this, Luo Shu pouted: "But... the lady won't take me there!"

Xu Rongrong raised her hand and tapped her nose:

"Do you think I'm taking Wen Yao on a sightseeing trip? I don't know if there will be dangers on this trip, so how can I involve you two?"

"Besides, there are still so many things in the capital that need you brothers and sisters. The shop needs Luo Chen to take care of it. The medicine shop is on the right track, but the two porcelain shops still need to be run carefully. There is also Chu Yun in the house who needs you to take care of him. Wait for me After you leave, you pack up a small room in Wutong Courtyard and take Chu Yun over to take care of him. Without Chu He to protect him, I won't worry about him living alone in the service room."

"Also, if we need their help, we have to rely on you to dispatch the doctors your brother has collected before who are good at treating epidemics."

"Your role is huge!" Xu Rongrong put a high hat on Luo Shu.

The girl was so happy that she put all her unhappiness behind her: "Do you want to take Doctor Shu Qingshu with you on this trip?"

Xu Rongrong nodded.

This time, she was sending Shu Qing to Jiangnan. If possible, she hoped to nip the epidemic in its bud.

As the two talked, they walked further and further apart.

Xu Xiangnan, who was squatting deep in the flower garden pruning the remaining branches, put down his tools and was thoughtful.

……

But here, Mu Rong finally got rid of the prince's entanglement and rode back home.

As soon as he landed in front of the door, he noticed that there were people coming in and out of Xu Mansion, which was very lively.

Mu Rong was confused and handed the reins to Mu Yi who came forward.

Then he asked: "What happened to Xu Mansion today?"

Mu Yi said hurriedly: "I am about to report this matter to Lord Marquis. The Xu Mansion... said that the eldest lady is going to Jiangnan and will leave the day after tomorrow. Now the mansion is buying and preparing some necessary items for the road."

"Why is it so sudden?" Mu Rong frowned deeply, "Now that the flood in Jiangnan has not subsided, what is she doing there at this time?"

Mu Yi lowered his voice: "I heard that the eldest lady asked Master Xu to prepare documents for her in the name of looking for Mrs. Xu, but...according to the news from Xu, the eldest lady seemed to have other plans, but It’s unknown at this time.”

"But Jushi Xu said that the eldest lady mentioned in her conversation that she would bring a doctor named Shu Qing with her on this trip."

"Shu Qing?" Mu Rong pondered for a moment, and then suddenly understood.

Even though he had not witnessed the tragedy in Jiangnan in his previous life, he still knew that the person who finally cured the epidemic was Shu Qing, who was known as the "Medical Master".

She actually found him!

So, is she for that epidemic that has not yet appeared?

Thinking of this, Mu Rong smiled mockingly: She was free and easy, she could leave whenever she wanted without thinking about herself at all.

He turned around and told Mu Ai who had just dismounted: "Go to the East Palace immediately and tell the prince that I have changed my mind. I am willing to find out for the prince what happened in the four states south of the Yangtze River."

Muai: "..."

Somehow, he suddenly felt sorry for His Highness the Crown Prince.
