Chapter 37 Check-in at the Inn
"Okay, here's your forty taels."
After taking the banknote and checking its authenticity, the official at the post station gave her four banknotes of ten taels each with a smile on his face.
"Is there a bathtub in the room? Please boil some hot water for me. We need to wash up."
Shen Xiangwan only took back three silver notes, and the rest was the money for hot water.
"Okay, since you're so forthcoming, I'll have someone send a bathtub to your room, and there'll be plenty of hot water."
Seeing this, the official at the post station was so happy that his face was about to break. He liked people who were straightforward and didn't waste time.
"Thank you for your help."
Nodding, Shen Xiangwan turned and walked towards Zhao Yuping and others, and took them straight upstairs. The post station was large, but it was built very simply, just an ordinary two-story courtyard house. There were no earthquake-proof and sound-proof facilities in this era, so upstairs was definitely quieter than downstairs.
"I want two rooms, too."
"I want three."
“I also have two…”
"We want five..."
With her leading the way, the others did not dare to linger any longer. Who knew if the post station officials would turn their backs on them again? Moreover, if they did not get a room, would they really have to squeeze into the woodshed or sleep in the courtyard with so many people? They could not bear such hardship.
"Chenghe, you and Chengyi can share a room. Mom, Ling'er, let's squeeze in with the child."
Shen Xiangwan chose the two innermost rooms upstairs. She had looted the prime minister's residence and the palace, and collected all the property in the prince's mansion. She had plenty of money, and the reason she only opened two rooms was entirely out of safety considerations. The Wei Chengyi brothers were fine, but Zhao Yuping and her daughter were both weak women who couldn't even tie a chicken. Plus, they had a little cub. Who knew if something terrible would happen in the dead of night?
Moreover, Daze County is still within the imperial city, and Wei Chengyi chose to wake up early because of her. Maybe someone has reported this to the dog emperor. God knows if he will suddenly change his mind and send people to assassinate them?
Regardless of whether she was overthinking it, it was always better to be more cautious when going out.
"good."
Several people responded at the same time. The little cub ran to Shen Xiangwan, pulled her clothes and said pitifully: "Auntie, I'm hungry, drink milk."
As he spoke, he also rubbed his belly.
"We're going to eat soon, can you drink milk later?"
Bending down and scratching his little nose lovingly, Shen Xiangwan said softly that her patience with children, especially cute and sensible children, was better than expected.
"oh."
The little cub immediately looked disappointed, which made Shen Xiangwan laugh. Like a magic trick, he produced a lollipop and stuffed it into his mouth: "Fill your stomach first, we will be able to eat soon."
"good."
With a lollipop in his mouth, the little cub finally smiled.
"Little foodie."
Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but rubbed his head, raised his head and smiled: "I'll go to the kitchen to get something to eat, you guys take a rest first."
Don't blame her for being too cunning. Given their current situation, it's better for them to do the food themselves.
"Sister-in-law, I'll go with you."
Wei Ling'er was about to get up, but Shen Xiangwan quickly stopped her: "I can go alone, you stay and look after An Ge'er, don't let him run around."
"All right."
Hearing this, Wei Ling'er could only give up. Wei Chengyi turned his wheelchair and said, "I'll go with you..."
"Stop making trouble and stay still."
After glaring at him unhappily, Shen Xiangwan turned around and strode away.
“···”
He wanted to say, go back to your room with her!
Looking at her departing back, Wei Chengyi was speechless for a while, but what he didn't know was that at this moment, there was a hint of helplessness and doting in his eyes. Zhao Yuping, who saw everything, couldn't help but smile secretly. She never dreamed that she would be able to see her second son, who had a tragic fate, find the woman of his dreams in her lifetime, and such an outstanding woman at that.
