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

Chapter 457 Sanlang has disappeared

Rather than continuing to wait in vain, it's better to let go of these feelings.

But can one just let go like that? Su Xiaoxiao had been troubled by this for a long time. She lived in Qian Musheng's house, which was not very convenient in many ways. For example, she had no official status, and Qian Musheng had never broken through the barrier between them.

Pei Yuan was a high-ranking general, and even if he did something to offend her, there was nothing she could do. After all, Su Xiaoxiao knew that he was a high-ranking general, and there were some things he couldn't control.

Once he thought of this, he stopped worrying about it.

When Su Xiaoxiao has free time, she will visit the shops in Beijing that supply jam to her family and inquire about the sales of the jam.

I also took the opportunity to visit the soy sauce workshop that she co-owned with Prince Gong, and distributed some benefits to the employees.

Of course, Su Xiaoxiao was quite convenient, as she could use the jam from her own shop as a New Year's gift. Time flew by, and it had been almost several months since she left Baihua Village, with the end of the year fast approaching.

Su Xiaoxiao also went to Cixi Hall in the capital. The doctor Huang who had treated Su Ping'an's leg before still remembered Su Xiaoxiao.

After arriving in ancient times, Su Xiaoxiao was inevitably troubled by some minor health problems.

For example, recently she often felt dizzy and weak, and felt inexplicably uncomfortable. She gave Dr. Huang a gift and asked him to take her pulse as well.

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao looked very haggard, Dr. Huang took her pulse and found that Su Xiaoxiao was sick because of excessive thinking and had a deficiency of both spleen and stomach.

Doctor Huang thought Su Xiaoxiao was sick because she was too busy with business, but when he asked, he found out that Su Xiaoxiao had a disagreement with General Pei Yuan, which was why she was sick.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't want to say too much, after all, she and Dr. Huang weren't that close.

This trip was more relaxing, and Su Xiaoxiao felt her mood brighten up. However, the lack of news from Pei Yuan made her feel uneasy, as if something was stuck in her chest. But life had to go on.

Whether it's smoothing things over or not, business still needs to continue.

Dr. Huang's wife came from the backyard to the front hall and greeted Su Xiaoxiao warmly when she saw her.

"Mrs. Su, what brings you here? Look at you, so polite, even bringing a gift."

When Su Xiaoxiao saw that Doctor Huang's wife was already six months pregnant and had difficulty moving around, she still remembered to bow to her.

Su Xiaoxiao quickly went over and helped Madam Huang up. It was all because of her status as General Pei Yuan's wife that she had to maintain a certain distance from others in her relationships.

The fact that Su Xiaoxiao and Pei Yuan have separated has not been announced to the world. It can be said that no one knows about this except Su Xiaoxiao.

"Madam Huang, there's really no need to be so polite. I'll leave as soon as I put my things down."

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao didn't look well, Madam Huang asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Why didn't General Pei Yuan come to keep you company?"

Su Xiaoxiao quickly smiled and explained, "He's busy with official duties, so I came by myself." Madam Huang also smiled apologetically, "Oh, he's our General Who Protects the Nation, it's only natural that he's busy with official duties. He certainly doesn't have time to accompany you, Madam. You brought so many gifts, why didn't you ask a servant to help carry them? It must be too tiring for you to do it all by yourself!"

Su Xiaoxiao then realized that she seemed to have never used servants before, preferring to do everything herself. Even now that she was a general's wife, she didn't seem to have this awareness.

Since separating from Pei Yuan, she has been even more without servants to take care of her.

Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to explain, "Actually, I don't like having servants around. I prefer to do everything myself. As long as I can do it, I'll do it myself. I'm too lazy to ask so many people to do it. Besides, I'm here to visit a friend, and I don't like anyone following me around."

After hearing these words, Madam Huang and Doctor Huang agreed wholeheartedly and gave Su Xiaoxiao a thumbs up, indicating that what Su Xiaoxiao did was indeed unexpected.

If you said Su Xiaoxiao was just a village girl, anyone would think that she married the general to climb the social ladder and enjoy life.

However, after actually getting to know Su Xiaoxiao, one will dispel such a view.

Su Xiaoxiao chatted with Doctor Huang and the others for a while longer before leaving with the prescribed medicine.

She always felt that the Huang couple seemed very reserved, which was entirely related to her current status.

Su Xiaoxiao passed by the Baxianlou Restaurant in the capital. Because the owner of Baxianlou knew Su Xiaoxiao from the cooking competition there before, he greeted her warmly as soon as he saw her coming.

Su Xiaoxiao helped Baxianlou introduce a new type of soy sauce, which can be said to have saved their business from barely surviving to its current bustling state.

This was entirely thanks to Su Xiaoxiao. Upon seeing Su Xiaoxiao, the shopkeeper was as hospitable as ever, and immediately offered her a deep bow, which Su Xiaoxiao stopped him from doing.

"Shopkeeper, don't be so polite. Just act like usual."

The manager of Baxianlou was naturally worldly-wise. When he heard Su Xiaoxiao say that, he didn't bother with any of the empty formalities.

"I haven't seen you for a long time since you went back to your hometown, Madam Su."

"Oh, I've been busy with business lately, and there are a lot of chores at the jam workshop that I need to help with, so I haven't been able to come and visit you. I wonder how business is going, boss?"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper quickly replied, "Of course. Madam Su is not only the wife of General Pei Yuan, but she also manages large-scale workshops such as jam and soy sauce, so she is naturally very busy. Since Madam Su helped our restaurant introduce the new soy sauce, our business has really been booming, as you have seen."

When the shopkeeper got to this point, his face lit up with joy.

"That's good. I'm so happy to see that your store is so busy."

Su Xiaoxiao said this from the bottom of her heart. She is not the kind of person who is stingy or jealous when she sees other people's businesses doing well. In fact, she deserves some credit for it.

However, when Su Xiaoxiao said this, no one seemed to want credit from the shopkeeper, which was quite admirable. They were the kind of people who helped you a lot but didn't want any reward at all.

This is truly admirable. After leaving the Eight Immortals Restaurant, Su Xiaoxiao went to the fabric shop again. Although she was destined to spend the New Year alone, she still wanted to have some New Year's atmosphere, didn't she? Thinking back to every New Year in the past, she would take Pei Yuan to the fabric shop to make several new outfits. At that time, Pei Yuan had not yet regained his status as a general, and he was still the silly Sanlang in Su Xiaoxiao's heart.
