AFTER HER DIVORCE, SHE ESCAPED WITH A STRONG MAN TO FARM [Part 2]

Ch 609 - 610

Chapter 609: A Happy Day

After three years, Su Qjng and Xiao Zeyu returned to Mo City. This was their base camp and where they had stayed during their escape.

Stepping into Mo City once again, Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu saw a bustling scene. He remembered that it was devastating the first time they entered Mo City. The entire city was almost empty, and there were empty houses everywhere. No one dared to do business. The Xiao Family Army was already a strong bow, and they only relied on their last strength to protect the city.

The current Mo City had a strong army and strong horses. People came and went on the streets, and there were many shops. The commoners he saw were not skinny and dressed much better. There was no trace of sadness on their faces. The light was in their eyes, and they had a goal to live.

Xiao Zeyu didn't want to waste money and manpower, so he and Su Qing disguised themselves as merchants. The royal guards disguised themselves as escorts, making them look like a large caravan.

In the past, the people of Mo City would stop and watch when they saw such large caravans. Now, they were used to it. As a new commercial base, many merchants came and went every day. No one paid much attention to Su Qing and the others.

The city guards were still very strict with their checks, as there were more spies in the bustling city. Cheng Yu requested that all those who entered the city be dealt with the same way as before.

All of them were required to register. Those who did business had to write down what business they were doing and who they were doing business with. Those who seek refuge must state clearly with whom they are seeking refuge.

Where did they live?

These were the rules that Su Qing and the others had set up in Mo City, and they have continued to this day.

When Xiao Zeyu's convoy was being interrogated, the head of the guards at the city gate was very serious. After looking through the customs documents, he looked at their business documents and even checked the goods on the carriages.

Xiao Zeyu and the others had brought gifts for the people of Peach Blossom Cove, so they weren't afraid of being checked. They couldn't find any flaws either.

After the inspection, they were asked to write down where they were staying and who they were doing business with.

Su Hanxuan still had business in Mo City. The guards went over and said they were doing business with the Su family. When they heard they were doing business with the Empress's family, the city guards did not make things difficult for them and let them enter the city.

However, someone recognized Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu and hurriedly left when they saw them in casual clothes.

Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu went to the Su family's residence in Mo City. After packing up, the couple and Zhong Yong visited Aunt Li's family in casual clothes.

It had been three years since they last met. Aunt Li's family no longer lived in their original place. Li Daniu had a share in the winery and earned much money yearly. His family had now built a big house and had slaves living the life of a rich man.

Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing asked around as they approached the Li family. When the Great Tang had just been established, Xiao Zeyu had sent someone to look for Li Daniu, wanting to give him an official position. Li Daniu was unwilling to enter the palace because of the restrictions. Ultimately, Xiao Zeyu gave him the Marquis of Carefree and Unfettered title. He also gave Aunt Li the title of ruler.
