Early the next morning, Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng had breakfast together.

Just as he was about to pick up his packed luggage and set off, Xiao Hanzheng's people sent a letter.

He opened it and looked at it, "The peach willow has grown."

Shi Qingluo held up the bag and asked, "Boy or girl?"

Xiao Hanzheng replied: "Girl."

Shi Qingluo nodded, "The girl is quite good. Ge Chunru probably won't attack her again."

News came from the young husband's people that Ge Chunru had someone find a small piece of clothing that had been dyed by a child who had been infected with smallpox.

He also ordered the maid who had bribed Taoliu's yard to find a way to let the child come into contact with this little dress if Taoliu gave birth to a boy.

At that time, it looked like he had died of smallpox accidentally.

It has to be said that even if Ge Chunru lost power, he was still so ruthless and ruthless, not even sparing a newborn baby.

Xiao Hanzheng said: "If it's a girl, Ge Chunru probably won't do anything for the time being."

Shi Qingluo thought for a while and said, "If she suddenly changes her mind and harms the girl, she will be in trouble. Keep an eye on her and don't let her people succeed."

That is an innocent little life. Since they have the ability, they naturally have to protect one or two.

Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "I understand."

Shi Qing curled her lips and said, "It's best to let daddy know about this."

Xiao Hanzheng chuckled, "I think so too."

Rather than leaving a hidden danger and guarding against it, it is better to expose it directly.

Shi Qingluo asked: "How are Ge Chunru's younger brothers and Niu family doing now?"

Xiao Hanzheng replied: "Ge Chunyi is now addicted to gambling and can't help himself. Mr. Niu also went to the gambling house with him. The two of them lost a lot of money. In a few days, someone with a debt will come to see his sister."

This was planned long ago. When Tao Liu gave birth to a child, he would find something for Ge Chunru to prevent her from staring at the child and trying to do all kinds of harm to the child.

Xiao Hanzheng did not have any sibling affection for his half-sister Taoliu gave birth to, but he would not be happy to see her killed.

After all, no matter what grudges there are between adults, children are innocent.

Moreover, Taoliu was sent to the General's Mansion by them, and Taoliu also did a lot of things for him. Helping her protect her identity and protect her children was a promise he made to her.

Shi Qingluo nodded, "This is good!"

She took the initiative to kiss Xiao Hanzheng's lips, "Then my mother and I will leave first. You take care of yourself and help King Yi set up the canning workshop. We will be back."

Xiao Hanzheng returned the kiss and said, "Okay!"

He sent his young wife to the courtyard, where his mother and Xiao Baili were already waiting with their bundles.

Xiao Baili has nothing to do at home recently and plans to accompany her mother and sister-in-law. Naturally, King Yi will not object.

Soon, Liang Yulin also walked over from the yard next door.

He smiled and greeted Xiao Hanzheng, "Hanzheng, don't worry, I will take good care of them."

Xiao Hanzheng glanced at him and said, "I just hope they will come back as soon as they finish their work."

Liang Yulin chuckled and said, "I can't say for sure."

He patted Xiao Hanzheng's arm closely and said, "It's okay. Come and take a look when you have time. It's not very far away anyway."

Xiao Hanzheng was speechless, "I will."

Then I almost went to bring my mother, daughter-in-law and sister back in person.

Next, King Yi, Shi Qingluo and his party got into the carriage and set off towards a small town on the border.

That small town is indeed not very far from Heyang County, and it only takes about six or seven days to travel by horse-drawn carriage.

The main reason is that the roads are relatively bad, with long sections of bumpy dirt roads, which makes it more time-consuming.

Sitting on the carriage bumping back and forth, Shi Qing stopped to have a meal in the middle and suggested to King Yi that the road should be paved with cement.

Otherwise, transporting cans will be difficult, and the cans may be broken due to such bumps.

If a cement road can be built to connect Heyang County, it can be reached in about two days by horse-drawn carriage. If you work hard, it will take more than half a day.

Then transfer from Heyang County to Beicheng or Beijing. Anyway, in the future, Heyang County will also have cement roads leading to these two places.

King Yi also agreed, so he wrote a note and had it sent to the capital.

For road construction, it is better to let the emperor send people to do it.

The road was difficult to walk, so Liang Yulin didn't ask anyone to hurry. Instead, he asked the driver to slow down and not to make the carriage bump too hard.

When he arrived at a place with accommodation, even if it was just noon, he would let him rest directly and start again the next day.

The main reason is that I don’t want the three ladies of the Kong family to be tired.

Therefore, it took only seven or eight days to arrive, but we had to walk for ten days.

When a group of people arrived at the border town, Beicheng General Mansion.

Xiao Yuanshi looked at the child in Liu Ru's arms, with a gentle smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

He had been looking forward to Liu Ru giving birth to a boy, so that he could take him with him and educate him well from an early age, and train him to be his heir.

Who would have thought it was actually a girl.

Sitting in the room now were Mrs. Xiao and her two daughters-in-law.

Mrs. Xiao held the child in her arms and said, "This girl is so pretty, she looks like a second child."

It's better to have a girl, so that the deputy governor's mansion will be her eldest grandson's in the future.

Liu Ru sat on a soft chair, her eyes full of motherly tenderness, looking at her daughter in the old lady's arms.

She also had a moment of disappointment when she just found out that the child she gave birth to was a girl.

But he soon focused all his attention on his daughter.

This is the child she has been pregnant with for ten months. Even if it is a girl, she will treat her daughter like jewels.

I won’t be like my parents who favored boys over girls and treated girls like grass.

She smiled and said: "That's right, Bai Jing and the general look like father and daughter at first glance."

She knew that Xiao Yuanshi was not so happy that she had given birth to a daughter.

But what does it matter? As long as she is happy.

Ge Chunru could not give birth to a child anyway, not to mention that Xiao Yuanshi had hardly rested in Ge Chunru's yard since he came to Northern Xinjiang.

Even if I stayed for one night occasionally, I never asked for water.

It shows that he is still very concerned about the green on his head.

Xiao Yuanshi smiled a little reluctantly, "She does look a lot like me."

He actually didn't see any resemblance, and it didn't matter.

Then he said: "I still have something to do, so I'll go out and do it first."

Taoliu smiled considerately and said, "Then captain, go quickly."

I secretly scolded this bastard for favoring boys over girls. He only visited his daughter every few days and never held her. It felt very perfunctory.

Just as Xiao Yuanshi stood up to leave, his entourage hurried in.

"Deputy Governor, people from the gambling house came to ask for debts and said they wanted to see Concubine Ge."

Xiao Yuanshi was stunned for a moment, "The people from the gambling house are asking Ge Chunru for debts?"

The attendant nodded, "Ge Chunyi owes the gambling house tens of thousands of taels of silver and cannot pay it back. The gambling house wants to cut off his hand, so he asked these people to come to the deputy governor to ask Concubine Ge for it."

When Xiao Yuanshi heard this, his face darkened instantly, "Go out and take a look."

He knew that Ge Chunyi and Niu were addicted to gambling, but he didn't take it to heart. He felt that the other party was now treating death as death, which was good.
