210 Settlement
Su Xiaoxiao set off early in February. After a month of long journey, she arrived at the capital in March.
Along the way, they saw many rich cities. However, when they reached the capital where the emperor lived, they could not help but sigh. The city walls of the capital were really tall, majestic, and magnificent!
The guards at the door were wearing thick armor and holding spears with dignified expressions.
Su Ergou often jumped across the two carriages repeatedly. Now, he was in Su Xiaoxiao’s carriage.
He lifted the curtain and looked at the crowd queuing up to enter the city. He cried out in shock, “Sister! There are so many people!”
The three little ones also squeezed their heads through the carriage window and blinked their big eyes, sizing them up curiously
It would be a lie to say that it was not hard for them to travel for days. Even a tough man like Father Su was about to lie flat. Su Ergou had also fallen sick once along the way. Other than losing a little weight, the three little ones did not feel any other discomfort.
The three of them grabbed the milk bottle and drank milk.
Su Xiaoxiao nodded to herself. “Oh, the milk powder is not bad. I’ll get more from the pharmacy next time.”
Dahu was the first to finish his.
Then, he shot his two brothers a dangerous look.
Erhu and Xiaohu hurriedly pounced into Su Xiaoxiao’s arms, wary of their brother robbing their milk bottles.
When it was their turn, the carriage was stopped by the guards.
The three coachmen were sent by Su Mo and the carriage. They were from the capital and showed their travel passes.
The guard said seriously, “Get down from the carriage!”
Su Xiaoxiao opened the curtain and gently reached out with her fair wrist, handing the guard a token that was suffused with a cold black light.
The guard seemed to know the token of the Marquis of Zhenbei and his attitude instantly became respectful. “The carriage needs to be checked. Please forgive me.”
Su Xiaoxiao understood and carried the three little fellows out of the carriage.
The triplets were too eye-catching. Not only were they cute, but they also drank from their small milk bottles. The passersby were bowled over by their cuteness.
Even the guard who was doing a routine inspection could not help but take a few more glances at the three little ones.
After checking the carriages and not finding anything suspicious, the guard let the three carriages go.
After entering the capital, Su Ergou’s exclamations never stopped.
“Sister! Look! What a tall building!”
“That’s the tower.”
“Huh? Oh.”
Xiaohu said, “Tower.”
Erhu said, “A tall tower.”
Dahu said, “Not as tall as me.”
The capital was really too big. The group entered the city in the morning and only settled down in the evening.
After confirming that they had settled down, the coachman went to the Marquis Mansion to report.
Su Mo and Qin Yun arrived in the capital yesterday. Su Yuan, Su Qi, and the others were still on their way back to the capital. They would probably arrive in another two to three days.
The lead coachman saw Su Mo in Tingfeng Courtyard.
“Eldest Young Master.” He cupped his hands and bowed.
“Are they here?” Su Mo asked.
“They are here,” said the coachman.
“Where is she?” Su Mo looked at the empty courtyard.
The coachman said, “They refuse to stay at the Marquis Mansion.”
Su Mo had long expected that with the girl’s personality, she would most likely not accept the arrangements to stay in the Marquis’s Mansion. He was not surprised by this.
“Did they go to Changliu Street?”
There was a small house under his name on Changliu Street. If she refused to come to the Duke Mansion, the coachman would bring them there to stay.
The coachman shook his head again. “No, they went to Pear Blossom Lane.”
“The Pear Blossom Lane on Scholar Street?” Su Mo pondered for a moment. “Why did they go there?”
Pear Blossom Lane was a rare quiet area in the bustling capital. The east and west sides of the street were connected to the noisy streets. After walking in, one would seem to have left the dust of the streets behind.
Su Xiaoxiao came to a house and gently knocked on the closed door.
