Early the next morning, Su Yu walked up to Mu Wanting and humbly asked for her advice.
"I heard you can observe the stars at night. Did you observe the stars last night? How is the weather today?"
Mu Wanting shook her head.
"The weather is great, not a cloud in the sky."
But Mu Wanting knew they would soon pass through a town.
After passing through the town, each person can stay in a ten-person room by paying twenty taels to the officials.
If you don't pay, you'll have to sleep in the stable.
The third-floor family naturally chose to pay the money.
Most of the other families also paid their fees. After all, exile was already hard enough, and everyone had some silver on them, so they naturally didn't want to make things harder for themselves.
The difference is that the three families booked a total of three rooms. The other two rooms were for male and female relatives separately, and the other room was suggested by Shen Mingjiao and reserved for Mu Wanting and Shen Xinglan.
Naturally, Mu Wanting and Shen Xinglan's rooms cost fifty taels of silver each.
In Mu Wanting's eyes, this was already quite not worth it.
But the money has already been paid, and Aunt Qin grinds her teeth at night, so it's better for two people to sleep in one room than for ten people to sleep in one room.
When I opened the door, the room was dark, damp, and moldy. And this room costs fifty-one yuan a night? What's the difference between this and robbery?
Shen Xinglan sat in her wheelchair, saying nothing, but her ears subtly turned red. This was a situation where a man and a woman were alone together...
Mu Wanting thought that he disliked her so much that he probably didn't want to be in the same room with her.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about this, you stay here by yourself, and I'll go sleep with Mingjiao and the others."
As he turned to leave, Shen Xinglan didn't say anything more. He should have been happy, but for some reason, he felt a little disappointed.
Just then, Su Yu arrived.
"This inn has a bathing area. Go take a shower while no one is around."
After saying that, he grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, and looked at her as if seeking praise.
"I told you this as soon as I heard the news. The boss said that if you want to take a bath, you have to pay him fifty taels, but I'm waiving it for you."
"Am I loyal enough?"
Mu Wanting smiled and thanked him. Even though she often took time to wash in her space, she still appreciated Su Yu's kindness.
Su Yu smiled and said, "Come find me after you take a shower. I've got some new and interesting pastries. I'll share some with you."
Mu Wanting was surprised: "No need."
Su Yu raised an eyebrow: "What, you don't like my food?"
Before Mu Wanting could speak, Shen Xinglan pushed her wheelchair to her side and reached out to hold her hand.
At that moment, another wave of tingling sensation shot through Shen Xinglan's heart. Just the touch of Mu Wanting's skin was enough to make him feel uncontrollably happy.
"She's not going. I'll take her to take a shower, and then we'll go back to our room to rest."
Mu Wanting was taken aback: "Didn't we agree not to share a room?"
Shen Xinglan looked over with her deep eyes.
"How can a husband and wife sleep in separate rooms? I'll take you to take a shower."
Then he pushed the wheelchair and led Mu Wanting to the bathroom.
Behind him, Su Yu sneered.
"Tch, I'll eat it all by myself."
Mu Wanting's palms were sticky, and she resisted the urge to shake his hand off. Once they reached the bathroom, she immediately slipped inside.
The bathroom was old and damp, but in this exile, having a place to take a bath was already a luxury.
She still chose to go into the space, quickly take a shower, and then change her clothes.
When she stepped out of the bathroom after taking a shower, she saw that Shen Xinglan's ears were red.
She smiled gently: "I'll go and have Xingyi and my third brother come and give you a bath. A bath will make you feel better."
Su Yu pouted very high.
"Let me make this clear first: I won't take your money, but I will take other people's money."
Mu Wanting smiled and handed over the bathing expenses for all three families to Su Yu.
Then Su Yu went to call someone, while she stayed in the room, studying her mother's small wooden box. It had a small mechanism on it that prevented it from being opened by brute force, otherwise the contents would self-destruct.
This is a combination lock, but Mu Wanting doesn't know the exact numbers.
The sound of Shen Xinglan's wheelchair approached, and Mu Wanting put the small wooden box into her spatial storage, holding a medical book in her hands as she read.
Shen Xingyi laughed and said, "Wanting, you're reading medical books again."
Mu Wanting smiled and nodded: "That's right, this is a medical book left by my mother. I want to see if there is any record of a way to treat your second brother's leg ailment."
Shen Xinglan curled her fingers, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.
Even the usually sharp-tongued Shen Xinghe was speechless.
Mu Wanting was truly devoted to her second brother.
Shen Xinglan pushed the wheelchair to Mu Wanting's side and placed her fingers on Mu Wanting's book.
"Stop looking, the lights are too dim, you'll hurt your eyes."
Mu Wanting raised her eyes, her smile radiant.
"good."
Shen Xinglan's heart skipped a beat, and her heart began to race uncontrollably.
He hurriedly looked away, subconsciously moving further away from Mu Wanting, afraid that she would hear his heartbeat.
Mu Wanting remained calm. If she still had feelings for Shen Xinglan, she would be devastated by his sudden retreat.
Fortunately, she had long since stopped loving Shen Xinglan.
Shen Xinghe is quite perceptive.
"Second Brother, Mu Wanting, you two go to sleep, we're going to take a shower."
Shen Xinglan glanced at him and said, "What's your name? You have no manners."
Shen Xinghe pouted: "Second brother, sister-in-law, let's go take a bath."
But when Shen Xinglan called her "sister-in-law," she felt a little strange.
He subconsciously looked at Mu Wanting's reaction.
