Regarding this point, the two wives of the Xu family had no objections.
At this point, Qiao Yuyan was slightly relieved. At least among the heads of the Xu family, she didn't see any problems. They were most likely the ones working underneath.
In this case, it will be enough to deal with it in accordance with the law when the time comes. Then I can give Ying Niang an explanation and at the same time get rid of a silverfish in the Xie family.
What surprised the Xu family and Qiao Yuyan was that the Xu family sent out many people, but none of them found the whereabouts of Yingniang's family.
The three of them were clearly seen in public that day. With the status of the Xu family in Jiangzhou, it should not be difficult to find these three people. But now these three people seemed to have suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
At the same time, what troubled Qiao Yuyan even more was the invitations that were flying over like snowflakes. Almost all the respectable families in Jiangzhou had sent invitations to her. The contents were various, but it was not important. What was important was that she could be invited there.
Qiao Yuyan originally didn't like to go out and socialize, let alone socializing. A party that was about to go bad was really a torture to her, not to mention that she knew in advance the purpose of their banquet.
Therefore, the first thing Xing'er did after she came to Jiangzhou and settled down was to reply to rejections one by one.
But you can refuse to be a guest at someone else's home, but you can't just refuse to be a guest at Xu's house!
In the capital, there is a rule that if you want to visit someone's house, you must post a notice three days in advance to avoid being disappointed.
But in Jiangzhou, especially among merchants, there is no such concern. Often the next wave of people arrive before the previous wave of people have left. Sometimes there are even two or three waves of people arriving at the same time.
At first, Qiao Yuyan was a little embarrassed, so she could only endure the discomfort of meeting these guests in front of Mrs. Xu. But as time went by, she really couldn't bear it, so she simply claimed to be sick and made it clear that it was not convenient for her to meet guests.
Who would have thought that this would lead to more gifts from others.
Most of them were merchants. These people had a lot of money, and the medicinal materials and supplements they sent were valuable. Qiao Yuyan had to ask her subordinates to return them in the same way.
Living here like this, Qiao Yuyan really couldn't live any longer. She finally packed up her things and said goodbye to Mrs. Xu, deciding to go to Hongdu Mansion first to meet with Wen Tingyuan.
The Xu family knew the reason behind this, and they understood it, but they were reluctant to give up. In the end, they could only help Zhang Luo send her to Hongdu Mansion.
Xu Lu still felt extremely guilty despite Qiao Yuyan's repeated explanations. Seeing her leave, she could only hold her hand and pout without saying a word.
Qiao Yuyan couldn't help but laugh, "Actually, I have never told you. Although the current matter is closely related to what you did that day, in fact, even if you didn't tell it that day, the news that I lived here would still spread. It's just a matter of time.
Sooner or later, you don’t have to blame yourself anymore, just learn from it and gain wisdom.”
Xu Lu laughed and scolded her, and then asked pitifully: "Then you will come back now? You won't go back directly from Hongdu Mansion, right?"
Qiao Yuyan smiled and said: "Don't worry, what fun do I have in Hongdu Mansion? What's more, the matter in Zingyuan has not been settled yet, how can I go back alone?
I'm just staying there for a while. When everyone here thinks I'm gone, why don't I come back quietly? If something really happens that prevents me from coming back, I will definitely make it clear to you.
You can always rest assured!"
"Then if I had known in advance that you were leaving, I would have caught up to you on horseback to see you again."
Qiao Yuyan agreed to her, then got into the carriage and asked Shi Ye to drive away.
In fact, the relationship between Qiao Yuyan and Xu Lu was not so good in the past. At that time, her cousins had not gone out yet, and she had the best relationship with her second cousin.
Unexpectedly, after these few years, she and Xu Lu seemed to be much better than before.
I just hope that the Xu family can get through the current predicament safely and that their cousins will be able to get together again in the future.
Now she said she couldn't stand Jiangzhou
In fact, only she herself knew about the enthusiasm of those noble ladies. She was going to see Wen Tingyuan.
She promised Mrs. Xu not to tell him about this matter, but she still had to remind him of the situation so that he could make basic preparations.
While thinking about these things in confusion, the carriage suddenly stopped and Qiao Yuyan opened the curtain in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Shiye turned his head to look at her, pointed to a small alley in front of him and said, "I just saw that Ying Niang entering from that alley."
Qiao Yuyan's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Really?"
It's been half a month. In the past half month, the Xu family has been looking for Yingniang and the others, but they haven't been found.
She thought they had gone to Huangmei's side again, but who would have thought that they would meet here again.
"Yes! I'm not wrong," Shi Ye's answer was very sure, "Madam, are we going to chase her?"
Qiao Yuyan looked at the surrounding streets and thought about Qiao Yurong's incident, and hesitated for a moment. However, this hesitation was only for a moment. Yingniang's incident was related to the Xu family's reputation after all.
"You go alone! We will wait in the carriage. There are many people at the moment, so we are not afraid that something will happen."
This place is the Caishikou in Jiangzhou. It is the time when people are rushing to the early market. It is impossible for things like what happened to Qiao Yurong to happen last time.
Shiye always only listened to Qiao Yuyan's orders. Hearing this, without saying a word, he jumped up and chased after him into the alley.
On the other hand, Xing'er was a little worried, "Madam, we wrote to the master before and agreed to go back today. If we delay for a long time, won't we have to postpone it?"
Qiao Yuyan said helplessly: "I really have no choice but to go on a night journey."
But how can we be safe on the road at night?
Xing'er didn't say this out loud, so she had to wait beside him.
After waiting for only half an hour, he unexpectedly lost his hand while picking up the leaves, and with a bit of dissatisfaction on his face, he continued to drive out of the city in silence.
Qiao Yuyan knew that the skill of picking up leaves was extraordinary, and she felt strange in her heart, how could Yingniang avoid picking up leaves?
But she also knew that it was precisely because of this that Shi Ye was depressed because of her mistake, and she could only put aside other emotions at the moment. She comforted Shi Ye first.
However, Qiao Yuyan couldn't understand the warrior's emotions. After a few words of comfort, she found that Shi Ye still had a sullen face, so she drove ahead without saying a word.
The carriage rattled out of the city gate. Qiao Yuyan was about to take a nap in the carriage when she glanced out the window and suddenly realized something was wrong.
