After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 298 The Show of Force Has Arrived

After Su Xiaoxiao got home, she refused to eat anything and locked herself in her room, not even allowing Pei Yuan to enter.

This time, Su Xiaoxiao was completely disoriented, as if she had lost her soul. Liu Xiaozhuang had actually survived; he had returned alive.

What to do next?
Will he take his two children away from him? What else will he do? Knowing that he put his older brother in jail and even beat his mother, Granny Liu, what will Liu Xiaozhuang do to him? Will he retaliate? It's impossible to know.

Su Xiaoxiao thought about it a lot.

She was still at a loss until midnight, and Pei Yuan didn't come knocking on the door again to say anything. Su Xiaoxiao admired Pei Yuan for this; he gave her enough space.

When dawn broke, Su Xiaoxiao hadn't slept all night.

With red eyes, she opened the door to her room, only to see Pei Yuan sitting at her door.

Pei Yuan didn't sleep all night either, and just stayed by her door the whole time.

Without saying a word, Su Xiaoxiao rushed over and hugged Pei Yuan tightly.

Then she whispered in Pei Yuan's ear, "Let's leave Baihua Village immediately. I'll go to the capital with you."

I was originally planning to leave in a few days, but now it seems unnecessary.

There's no time to lose; we need to get going and leave as soon as possible.

Before the two children woke up, Su Xiaoxiao quickly prepared the carriage and left with Pei Yuan, Bei Yan, and Liu Qiaomei.

However, Su Lie and his grandfather Su Daqiang did not leave; Su Xiaoxiao asked them to stay and help look after the house.

The children had no idea what was going on; they had already left Baihua Village just as dawn was breaking.

Fortunately, there were very few people in the morning.

No one in the village noticed them. Pei Yuan prepared to take Su Xiaoxiao and the others back to his home in the capital.

However, Pei Yuan's mother was quite particular about many things, and according to Pei Yuan, it seemed that he couldn't return to the General's Mansion before the wedding.

Three days later, they finally entered the capital.

Although Da Bao and Xiao Bao cried and fussed on the way, saying they missed their dad, Liu Xiaozhuang, there was nothing the two children could do. However, they were still closer to Su Xiaoxiao.

This was their first time going out, and they were extremely curious about everything around them. The capital city, in particular, was so beautiful that the children couldn't take their eyes off it all.

The carriage traveled along the bustling streets of Chang'an. Bei Yan was very excited and pointed to a very large mansion ahead, saying to Su Xiaoxiao, "Madam, the General's Mansion is just ahead. Don't you think that city gate tower is magnificent?"

Su Xiaoxiao peeked out and saw that it really was true.

At this moment, Pei Yuan stopped the carriage, walked to the sedan chair, lifted the curtain and said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, we are almost home. I will marry you as soon as possible and give you a proper status."

At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao had only one thought in her mind: she wanted to get off the car immediately, take a shower, change into clean clothes, and happily eat a delicious meal. She would leave everything else for later.

Da Bao and Xiao Bao curiously peeked out at the gate tower of the General's Mansion.

"Wow, Mom, is this our new home? It's so grand!" The two children seemed to have long forgotten the pain of leaving home and their father, and were overjoyed to see their new home.

Then a woman's voice came through, "Why did you bring her back? Did you ask me?"

The woman's voice was full of dissatisfaction, yet also very imposing.

Judging from the voice, the person was only a teenager. Sure enough, a group of people were standing at the door. The woman at the head of the group was dressed in a luxurious manner, and the hairpins in her hair were sparkling in the sunlight.

The aura she exuded was so imposing that no one dared to approach her. Su Xiaoxiao got off the carriage and stood behind Pei Yuan, but upon seeing him, she also stood respectfully before this middle-aged beauty with her head bowed.

Who is this woman? She's so arrogant.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't mean the woman had bad breath, but rather that the woman's very voice commanded respect. Actually, this woman was quite formidable; Da Bao and Xiao Bao didn't dare get off the carriage and remained watching from inside.

Su Xiaoxiao was furious, thinking to herself that this woman was being a bit too arrogant.
If you're going to have to live at the mercy of this woman all the time, you might as well stay at an inn. Of course, you could buy your own house if you have the financial means.

Su Xiaoxiao can definitely do it.

Su Xiaoxiao really didn't want to waste any more time with this woman. Could this woman be Pei Yuan's mother?
Su Xiaoxiao sized up the woman, who was somewhat sharp-tongued but undeniably beautiful. She had a dignified and elegant face, and looked well-maintained. But perhaps her face looked a little too young?

Is this woman really Pei Yuan's mother? She doesn't look like him at all.

Su Xiaoxiao was pondering to herself when she noticed that Pei Yuan seemed to treat the woman in front of him with great respect.

"Aunt, I know you're doing this for my own good."

Pei Yuan said, taking Su Xiaoxiao's hand. "I'm determined to marry this woman. She's the woman I've chosen for this lifetime, and I won't marry anyone else. If Auntie strongly opposes us moving into the family, I'll take her out to live with us."

"you……"

Su Xiaoxiao saw that the woman Pei Yuan called "Auntie" had a face that was flushed with anger. She had never been humiliated before, and she never expected Pei Yuan to treat her like this.

The woman looked Su Xiaoxiao up and down. "Is this woman worth abandoning your family for? You used to be so sensible, a great general who protected the country. Now you're even disobeying the emperor's decree. Have you been bewitched by this vixen?"

It's that vixen again; Su Xiaoxiao is sick of hearing it.

Why does everyone here call me a vixen? Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, I'll find a mirror and take a good look at myself later, and see what this vixen everyone is talking about really looks like.

If she continued to be called that, Su Xiaoxiao felt that sooner or later she would earn the honorary title of "Su Daji".

"First of all, her name is Su Xiaoxiao, not 'vixen.' She is the woman I love most, and the two children in the car, though not my biological children, will face my wrath if anyone tries to stop them from entering. Please, Aunt, make way..."

When Pei Yuan spoke, his face was ashen, showing no politeness whatsoever to his aunt. Meanwhile, his aunt was so angry that she changed color like a chameleon, her face turning red, white, and green in turns. It was truly hilarious.

Su Xiaoxiao watched her quietly, knowing that although this woman was not easy to mess with, it seemed that her status at home was just so-so. Perhaps this woman had come to give Su Xiaoxiao a hard time since she had just entered the house.

"Pei Yuan, is this how you treat your aunt? Aren't you afraid I'll tell your father later?"
