Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Su Qing observed the man’s every move and was even more confident that the people living in the room next door were Lanting’s people. Perhaps the people in this shop were either his or Lanting’s group.
The thin man went upstairs and stayed for less than half a cup of tea before coming downstairs. The waiter happened to be delivering food to Su Qing’s room. The thin man looked at the food on the tray and called the waiter over. “This is for us, right?”
He reached out to take the tray.
“Hey, customer, this isn’t for you. It’s for the guest who lives in the room next to yours.”
The waiter hurriedly snatched it over. The thin man smiled slightly.
“Oh, I misunderstood.”
After saying that, he returned the tray to the waiter and narrowed his eyes as he watched the waiter send the food into Su Qing’s room.
“Sir, try our Spanish mackerel from Haicheng and this clam soup. They are especially delicious and can’t be eaten in the mainland.”
AS the waiter spoke, he placed the tray on the table. There was a plate of stewed fish, a pot of flower clam soup, and brown rice. This was considered the best meal in their inn.
“Thank you.”
Su Qing was hungry when she smelled the fish. Recently, she had liked to eat fish. After two days of bumpy travel, she finally had a good meal today. She was pretty satisfied and thanked the waiter.
Sir, I’m sorry. This meal fee has to be paid separately.”
The waiter said to Su Qing with a smile,
It can’t be helped. The brown rice is too expensive. The money for the hotel is not enough for the meal.”
“How much?”
Su Qing’s expression was a little cold. He was worried they wouldn’t be able to afford it and would run away.
Seeing that Su Qing was unhappy, the shop assistant hurriedly bowed and apologized,
“Sir, we can’t help it. We’re also waiting for this money to settle the bill.”
“How much?”
The guard, Little Ding, saw that Su Qing was annoyed and stopped the waiter.
“Two taels of silver.”
The waiter felt guilty when he said that. He had added half a tael of silver to the bill.
“So expensive? Why aren’t you guys seizing it?”
Zhong Yong was furious when he heard that. He grabbed the shop assistant’s collar and said,
So inexperienced? He was a rookie.
The waiter carried the sizeable wooden bucket into the house. He was a little confused when he saw the people on the table lying on their backs. He carefully walked over and gently pushed Su Qing.
“Sir, sir?”
Su Qing didn’t move and continued to lie down and pretend to be asleep. The waiter went to push Jiang Yuyan again, but there was still no response. He pushed all four of them, but there was no response. This scared him so much that he shouted for the shopkeeper.
“Shopkeeper, come and take a look.”
The person who had been observing in secret frowned anxiously. He gritted his teeth angrily as he watched the waiter ruin his business.
“What happened?”
The waiter called over the shopkeeper. When he entered the room and saw that all four were lying there motionless, he was stunned.
“What happened?”
“I don’t know. I just came in and saw them pass out.”
The waiter was scared out of his wits. He was terrified that these people would blackmail him. What if they said that the food he sent was poisonous?
“... Use water. Try sprinkling them with water.”
The shopkeeper had some experience. He suspected that these guests had been drugged. The drug could be cured by watering them. He quickly ordered the waiter to water Su Qing and the others.
Seeing the shopkeeper and the waiter’s actions, the people watching outside did not leave and kept staring.
“Aiya, what happened?”
Su Qing woke up and covered her forehead with her hand. Water droplets dripped down her hair, and her face was covered. The waiter hurriedly handed her a towel.
“Customer, wipe the water.”
When Su Qing took the towel, the thin man next door entered. When he entered the room and saw the four of them in a sorry state, he asked, “Ah, what’s going on?”
Su Qing wiped the water off her face under the thin man’s gaze and handed it
to Jiang Yuyan. She put on a tired look and said,
“Maybe I’m tired from the journey and can’t open my eyes after eating.” The thin man saw Su Qing wipe her face with his own eyes. His face was still the same, full of wrinkles. There was no trace of artificial painting at all. He laughed and said,
“Yes, traveling is very tiring. Rest early!”
Alright, I won’t send you off anymore.”
Su Qing stood up with her hands on the table and cupped her hands at the thin man. Her voice was exhausted, and her acting was very profound.
Zhong Yong’s eyes lit up when he saw this. His master was so powerful that he could even deceive people to death.
The thm man came out of Su Qing’s room and looked upstairs. He made a gesture with his hand..This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
