Chapter 299 Retribution
A few days later, the carriage arrived at the provincial capital.
They went to the inn arranged by the Rong family according to the address on the post.
As soon as the carriage stopped, someone came to meet us.
"Is it Miss Xia?"
Xia Ruwan raised a gentle smile: "It's me."
"Miss, I am the steward of Rong Mansion. Our boss said that Miss Xia is a distinguished guest and should be given the best room. I will take you there."
Xia Ruwan said, "I came here with the head of the Qin Family Business. I wonder how your family will arrange for a good sister like me?"
The steward said, "Ms. Qin's name is well-known. I've heard that she is very young, but I didn't know she is such a young girl. Miss Qin, your room is next to Miss Xia. Please follow me upstairs with Miss Xia."
Qin Huiyin turned around and said to several of his men, "You can go live in the snack shop! We don't need you here anymore. When things here are almost settled, I will send someone to the snack shop to inform you, and you can come over later."
One of the subordinates said, "I will stay here to ensure the safety of the young lady. Don't worry about me, I can rest anywhere."
Xia Ruwan said: "Your subordinates are so caring."
"I'll give you a few days off. You really don't have to follow me. The entire inn is full of owners of various shops. As the host, I believe Rongfu will ensure our safety. If you dare to cause trouble on Rongfu's territory, it will be a slap in the face of Rongfu. Manager, is this the truth?"
The steward said with a smile: "Boss Qin is right. This banquet was arranged by Rong Mansion and should have been held there. However, there are many female relatives in Rong Mansion and it is a bit inconvenient to arrange so many distinguished guests, so we are hosting them in this inn. This inn is owned by our Rong Mansion and the rooms are elegant, not inferior to the wing rooms in our Rong Mansion. All the bosses only need to go upstairs and take a look. We in Rong Mansion attach great importance to all the distinguished guests and dare not neglect them."
Seeing that Qin Huiyin was determined not to let him protect her and Manager Rong was so confident, the subordinate took his brothers and left.
Not far from the inn, Song Yi said, "The four of us will take turns guarding here. If the young lady needs someone here, we must protect her immediately."
"There's a house across the street. Give some money to the peasant woman and ask her to let you stay overnight."
Qin Huiyin and Xia Ruwan followed the steward to the third floor. As soon as they reached the third floor, they saw Li Congxiao standing at the railing looking into the distance.
The steward showed them the rooms and arranged for a female servant to be on call at any time. The female servant was obviously a well-trained maid of the Rong family.
Qin Huiyin lowered her voice and said, "I'm afraid this maid has been deliberately arranged to observe you. Believe it or not, your every move here will be known to the Rong family. It's a pity that I haven't met the second son of Rong yet. If I had met him, and he suits your taste, I could have behaved better. If he doesn't suit your taste, I could have deliberately acted like he doesn't like me, and then I could have rejected this marriage proposal without anyone noticing."
"I will find a live-in son-in-law sooner or later. The Rong family is indeed helpful to the Xia family's business. Therefore, I will not act rashly before seeing the second son of Rong." Xia Ruwan said, "I don't have any plans today, do you want to go out for a walk later?"
"Why did you suddenly change your mind? Weren't you very opposed to this meeting before?" Qin Huiyin was puzzled.
"I figured it out." Xia Ruwan said, "My father is a live-in son-in-law, right? He is the adopted son of the Xia family, a child-raised husband, but he turned out to be a stinky man with corrupt morals. Since marrying a man of lower status won't get any sympathy, it's better to find someone of equal status, at least there are interests involved, and the benefits you get are real."
Qin Huiyin gave a thumbs up.
"What about you?" Xia Ruwan asked, "Have you ever thought about what kind of man you want to find?"
Qin Huiyin said: "I haven't thought about it. However, if I have to find a man, of course I have to find someone strong enough to join forces with me."
It is impossible for her to marry down, even if the other person looks like Pan An.
Xia Ruwan smiled and said, "As expected of my good sister, you always say something shocking."
There was no plan for the day, so the two sisters went out for a stroll. As soon as they left the house, they ran into those lazy and dissolute young masters.
Young Master Wang glanced at Xia Ruwan, thought of the rumors he had just heard, curled his lips, and walked away unwillingly.
This girl from the Xia family has tried to curry favor with the Rong family. Now that she is in the Rong family's territory, she has no choice but to swallow her anger.
Li Congxiao said with a smile: "Girls, you will always meet some blind people at night gatherings. You must be careful and don't go to crowded places."
Xia Ruwan rolled her eyes: "Like you?"
Li Congxiao blinked his peach blossom eyes and smiled proudly: "The girls in Wanhua Tower all praised my eyes for being so charming. Look carefully, how can you not see such beautiful eyes?"
Li Congxiao came over.
Xia Ruwan pushed it with her fan, her eyes full of disdain: "It's so ugly."
Li Congxiao shook his head and said, "Miss Xia really doesn't know how to appreciate. Forget it, I'll go with Brother Wang and the others to find a beauty who knows how to appreciate."
After Li Congxiao and the others left, Qin Huiyin said, "The Li family has been quite honest this year, and there has been no trouble. This young master Li's clothing store is across from us, and his business is not bad, which shows that he is also a very business-minded person. It's really strange to say that you two always quarrel every time you meet. However, it seems that every time he teases you on purpose, and after you scold him, he leaves without getting angry."
"He's sick!" Xia Ruwan said, "He has such a pretty face, but his inside is rotten."
"So you admit that he's good-looking!" Qin Huiyin laughed, "Just now you called him ugly."
"Hey, whose sister are you anyway? Why are you speaking for that jerk?" Xia Ruwan asked angrily, "Are you going to leave or not?"
Wanhua Tower. Li Congxiao and several other young masters were drinking when they heard a noise outside. They rushed out to see that Young Master Wang was fighting with another patron. Young Master Wang's head was broken, and the villain on the opposite side was still angry and ordered his men to fight with Young Master Wang's men.
"Young Master Wang, that person is the nephew of the governor of Jingzhou..." the madam said in Young Master Wang's ear.
Young Master Wang widened his eyes and looked at the villain opposite him, and finally stopped his men with a grim expression.
"Let's go."
"Why did Young Master Wang leave?" said the young master who came with Young Master Wang.
Li Congxiao exchanged glances with the 'villain'.
Bang! Young Master Wang rolled down the stairs, from upstairs to downstairs. When he reached the bottom, he was in so much pain that he couldn't get up.
Everyone was stunned by this scene.
