Her mother was actually not the Chen family’s biological daughter. No wonder everyone in the Chen family did not treat her mother as a human.

If Liu Ping was really about to leave, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t ask him too much. Anyway, she would return to Qingzhou after settling the matters in the southern border. When the time came, she would ask the Chen family. The three little ones waved at Liu Ping. “Goodbye, Uncle Liu!”

“Hey, hey!”

Liu Ping smiled awkwardly and hurriedly got into the carriage with a hint of reluctance.

“Brother Liu, who is that girl? Why do you keep talking to her? Can’t you walk away when you see a beautiful girl? Are you afraid that I’ll go back and tell Sister Wu to make you kneel on the washboard?”

“Young brat, what do you know? That’s the big boss of our Su Ji!”

“What? Big boss? Aiya, why didn’t you say so earlier? I have to go greet her— Brother Liu, don’t stop me—Hey! Brother Liu, Brother Liu!”

“We’re going to sail. Let’s go!”

When they returned to the inn after buying the rice cake, Wei Ting came over. Su Xiaoxiao asked the three little ones to bring the rice cakes to Wei Xiyue while she told Wei Ting about meeting Liu Ping.

Wei Ting was also very surprised. He knew that Su Yuniang’s business was doing well. Yuchi Xiu had never stopped talking after going to the border from Qingzhou.

He just didn’t expect to meet Liu Ping here, nor did he expect Madam Chen to not be the Chen family’s biological daughter.

“When we return from the southern border, we’ll go to the Chen family.”

Since they were not her biological parents, she had to ask where Madam Chen’s biological parents were.

His thoughts coincided with Su Xiaoxiao’s.

It was getting late. The few of them planned to rest after dinner, but the three little ones were too energetic to sleep.

They rolled around on the bed and leaned on Su Xiaoxiao from time to time to suck her mother’s aura, like three clingy little rollie pollies.

Wei Ting leaned to the side and was prepared to be sucked away, but what he ended up with was always only three bare feet.

Wei Ting was speechless.

“Very good. When the one in her belly comes out, let’s see who still cares about the three of you brats! ”

At dawn, Su Xiaoxiao was woken up by hunger. Recently, she often felt hungry. Sometimes, she would wake up in the middle of the night to find food.

The three little fellows played until midnight and could not be woken up.

Su Xiaoxiao had just finished washing up when Wei Ting came over.

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was about to put clothes on them, he said, “Let me do it.”

He had been the one taking care of her along the way. Other than his mouth, this man was quite considerate in other aspects.

The three little ones did not wake up.

Wei Ting said, “They probably won’t eat breakfast anymore. Let them eat on the way later.”

Su Xiaoxiao had no objections. After all, no one could bear to wake up the three sleeping children.

Su Xiaoxiao went to the hall for breakfast. Li Wan, Mei Ji, Wei Qing, and Fu Su also arrived. The assassin and Yuchi Xiu were guarding the carriage outside. Wei Xiyue sat beside Wei Qing and hugged the two small jars obediently.

Xiao Xiyue had been holding it in for the past few days.

“Soon.” Su Xiaoxiao pinched her face.

Wei Ting came over and sat down beside Su Xiaoxiao. He opened the bun, emptied the meat filling into his bowl, and handed the bun skin to Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao liked to eat buns recently, but she didn’t eat the filling.

Xiao Shunyang had gone to settle the official documents early in the morning. This person was troublesome, but in terms of ability, he was indeed much better than Xiao Duye.

Wei Qing said, “After entering the southern border later, follow the plan.” Wei Ting nodded.

Wei Qing continued, “Although the conditions for entering the southern border are not harsh, the people of the southern border are very xenophobic. It’s best if we dress up as people of the southern border to avoid unnecessary trouble. Wanwan, have you bought the clothes?”

“I’ve bought them,” Li Wan said.

Wei Qing said, “Change into your clothes after shaking off Prince Rui.”

Xiao Shunyang returned very quickly. He looked at Wei Qing, Wei Ting, Su Xiaoxiao, and the others, who seemed to be waiting for him in the lobby. The more he looked at them, the more he felt that they were like an intimate family.

Wei Qing smiled. “Your Highness, have the passes been settled?”

Xiao Shunyang retracted his scrutinizing gaze and said, “It’s done. They are with me. We can come out of seclusion.”

This was to prevent them from leaving him behind and escaping. It seemed that he knew very well that they had long wanted to get rid of him.

The few of them got into their respective carriages with an unspoken mutual understanding.

With Xiao Shunyang’s outstanding ability, the process of coming out of seclusion was very smooth. Even those complicated documents were filled in by Xiao Shunyang on their behalf.

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that this tool was quite useful.

After entering the southern border, what greeted their eyes was a long official road. The official road meandered up and passed through endless mountains before arriving at the first small town in the southern border.

The southern territory was a country formed by many tribes. Although the power of the Imperial Court had become stronger after experiencing two queens of the southern territory, overall speaking, the southern territory was a complicated place.

It was not rare for a few nests of bandits to jump out of the mountain at the border.

Wei Xiyue sat obediently in the carriage, and the three little ones were still sleeping soundly.

Su Xiaoxiao and Li Wan listened to the surroundings.

Suddenly, hurried tootsteps came trom ahead. The two ot them exchanged glances. They were here!

Li Wan pushed open the car window and looked out. “Seventh Sister-in-law, why do I feel that something is wrong? Didn’t they say that they were lying in ambush near the canyon?”

Last night, Mei Ji and the assassin sneaked into the southern border overnight and bribed a group of local bandits to make a deal with them—to kidnap a few merchants of the Great Zhou, but they could not hurt anyone. Su Xiaoxiao also glanced out. “Yes, we haven’t reached the canyon yet.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the two of them understood.

They had probably encountered real robbers.

Xiao Shunyang’s first reaction when he saw the robbers was that Wei Ting and the others had played a trick to shake him off. However, when those desperadoes attacked everyone without a word, he knew that this was not an act.

Fu Su and Yuchi Xiu protected Su Xiaoxiao and Li Wan’s carriage.

Wei Ting protected Wei Qing in the carriage.

Mei Ji tapped her feet and jumped onto the roof. “Assassin, you and Wei Ting protect Mister. I’ll kill them!”

She took off her annoying cloak, revealing an extremely charming and exquisite figure. Her proud curves made her look extremely seductive, and the killing intent in her eyes was extremely strong.

The robbers were stunned.

Mei Ji rose into the air and opened the mechanism fan. With a wave of her hand, countless hidden weapons shot at the bandit like flying flowers.

Screams intersected, and in an instant, the robbers fell.

The others came back to their senses.

Mei Ji landed on the roof of the carriage. When she saw the second wave of bandits charging over, she turned around again. Her robe fluttered in the wind like a blooming fire lotus.

Another seven or eight robbers fell.

One of the hidden weapons flashed past Xiao Shunyang’s ear. Xiao Shunyang’s eyes flickered, and he raised his sword to block. The hidden weapon was blocked and sent flying.

He turned around and looked coldly at the charming girl who had landed on the roof.

Mei Ji smiled. “I’m sorry. There were too many hidden weapons and I almost injured Your Highness..”
