Chapter 387 Going to the Capital to Rescue Su Xiuer

Su Xiaoxiao first called over the workers in the workshop who worked for her and told them to give them a break so she could find workers to rebuild the burned-down workshop.

Upon hearing this, the workers all volunteered, saying, "Xiaoxiao, let's rebuild the factory together. We won't charge you; besides, it's our job."

Building houses is easy for these workers, especially since there's Brother Wang Er among them. He's a carpenter by trade and knows a lot about building houses.

Su Xiaoxiao was very moved, so she entrusted the house-building project to Wang Er. He only needed to ask Su Xiaoxiao for any materials he needed, and she would pay for them.

As for the equipment, we'll have to rebuild it from scratch. If we need anything, we'll just have to buy it.

Su Xiaoxiao did a preliminary calculation of the losses, and her head suddenly started buzzing. All the dividends she received from Qian Musheng recently had been used to build the new workshop; not a single penny was left.

But it's all good. Out with the old, in with the new. She can take this opportunity to expand the factory. Now the workshop's business is on track. Many large grocery stores and merchants want to buy jam from Su Xiaoxiao, but they can't get any because of the supply shortage.

The weather is getting better now, and the fruit trees on the mountain are about to sprout. This year, Su Xiaoxiao plans to expand the orchard on the mountain by planting more orange and apple trees. Once these fruit trees are planted, her jam business will come in, right?
Su Xiaoxiao has so many things she wants to do this year. She wants to make not only orange jam, but also apple jam, strawberry jam, and jams of other fruits.

Su Xiaoxiao was absolutely confident that these products would eventually become bestsellers.

Although her business has begun to expand slowly, Su Xiaoxiao is not satisfied with this. What she wants more is a clear outline plan, and of course, it would be best if it were not limited to the jam business.

After Su Xiaoxiao settled everything here, she still entrusted Wang Er and Zhai Suo to be fully responsible for the workshop.

She turned down the orders from the grocery stores, and for the time being, she wasn't accepting any other orders.

In fact, they all knew that under these conditions, Su Xiaoxiao could no longer make jam.

Actually, even Su Xiaoxiao wasn't in the mood to make the jam right now. She had settled everything in just two days.

On the third day, she said to Su Ping'an, "Let's go, let's go to the capital together to rescue your sister!"

Su Ping'an was still reading when he thought he had misheard. Unexpectedly, Su Xiaoxiao was still thinking about this matter and said she would help him rescue Su Xiuer.

Su Pingan put down his book, his heart filled with emotion. He didn't know what to say to express his gratitude.

"Look how excited you are. Take a few books with you; you can't let your studies suffer. I've already asked Mr. Li to plan out your lessons for the next few days in advance. You should read on the way."

This time, Su Xiaoxiao was well-prepared. She asked Su Ping'an to tell the Su family that she and Su Ping'an were going to the capital to rescue Su Xiu'er.

The Su family was overjoyed to hear this, even though Old Mrs. Wang had been arrested and imprisoned in the town jail and no verdict had been handed down yet.

Their family members could occasionally visit Old Madam Wang in prison to inquire about her situation. This gave them some leeway. But Su Xiuer was far removed from the emperor's reach in the capital. They had no way of knowing anything about her situation in prison; it was truly impossible for them to find out.

Now, saving as many people as possible is the best option. Old Man Su was actually very grateful to Su Xiuer for doing this. He knew that Su Xiaoxiao had originally said that she would go to the capital with Su Ping'an to find Su Xiuer the next day, but Old Madam Wang caused such a commotion halfway through, disrupting Su Xiaoxiao's entire plan.

Old Man Su asked Su Xiaoxiao if she needed his help, and Su Xiaoxiao said she didn't. She would go to the capital with Su Ping'an to find out what was going on, depending on the situation.

When Su Xiaoxiao left this time, she entrusted all the household affairs to Liu Qiaomei, who was in charge of looking after the house. However, Su Xiaoxiao was quite at ease leaving the house in Liu Qiaomei's care.

Su Xiaoxiao also brought a lot of green rice dumplings with her to the capital to eat on the way. She also carried several gift boxes of jam with her, just in case. You never know when you might need them, such as when giving gifts, right? This is very important.

However, Su Xiaoxiao was very thoughtful. They didn't bring anyone else with them, just Su Ping'an and her, and they brought money and clothes before heading to the capital.

Before leaving, Su Xiaoxiao went to Qian Musheng's house in town and inquired around. She heard that Qian Musheng was not at home and that he had taken two of his trusted servants' small tables and stools to the capital. Su Xiaoxiao had no way to ask anyone about Qian Musheng, so she thought she would wait until she got to the capital to find out.

Anyway, they already knew about Qian Musheng's home in Beijing.

The two of them drove their own covered carriage toward the capital.

This time when they went to the capital, Su Ping'an drove the carriage, and Su Xiaoxiao would sometimes help Su Ping'an drive for a while.

The two of them were anxious to get to the capital to find Su Xiuer, so they arrived at Chashuling, which was about 30 miles away from the capital, on this day.

As fate would have it, this was the very place where Qian Musheng had meddled in other people's business and saved the Qian family a few days ago.

The two were in a great hurry and arrived at Chashuling just as darkness fell.

Su Pingan said to Su Xiaoxiao, "I think we should find an inn here to rest for the night, and we should be able to enter the capital smoothly tomorrow."

Su Xiaoxiao was covered in dust and dirt from traveling these past few days. Although it was her own horse-drawn carriage, even cars need to refuel and rest, let alone horses.
Su Xiaoxiao felt a little sorry for them; their horse had become thin from exhaustion.

She felt sorry for Su Ping'an, who had traveled such a long distance, so she agreed to his suggestion.

When they looked around Chashuling, they found that there were indeed several decent inns still open in the town. Su Xiaoxiao pointed to one of the inns and said, "Let's stop looking and choose this inn to stay at!"

The two of them went in together, and the innkeeper, seeing that guests had arrived, quickly and warmly welcomed them in, tied up their horses, and put them in the stable to be properly fed.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't expect that the inn they chose was the largest inn in town, with excellent conditions, hospitable staff, and an even better owner.
