Back home, they finally didn't have to keep putting on an act, but Xiaomi had made up her mind: for at least half a month, whenever her brother went out, he had to be in makeup.
At the same time, Xiaomi also wrote a letter and had the Imperial Guards deliver it to her eldest brother in Anning Village, mainly asking him to hold back their parents so they wouldn't come to Lishi City during this period.
Xiaomi only found out afterward that when the letter was leaving the city, it had actually been inspected by Lord Xie's people; only after confirming there was no leak of secrets or anything like that did they let it pass.
Still, Xiaomi wasn't angry—special times call for special measures.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, just as Xiaomi finished whitening Wei Ziang's face, General Song's carriage arrived to pick them up.
