Chapter 384: 384 enters and exits the Capital City Chapter 384: 384 enters and exits the Capital City “No need, we’ve already troubled Young Master Sikong enough on the way here. Once we reach the capital city, Wenzheng and I will just find an inn to stay in,” Ye Jiu declined without hesitation.

With Sikong Mo’s high status came undeniable danger. If Ye Jiu stayed by his side, she could already anticipate how thrilling her life would become with the occasional assassination attempts.

Moreover, the capital city was full of nobles and dignitaries, and she was just a humble farm girl. Staying close to Sikong Mo would certainly make her too conspicuous, so it was better to keep her distance.

Ye Jiu uttered these words with trepidation, afraid that Sikong Mo would think her ungrateful, but to her surprise, Sikong Mo only fell silent for a moment before nodding in agreement, “That’s fine. The capital city isn’t as peaceful as a small town. If anything happens, you can come to the Royal Residence to find me at any time.”

“Thank you, Young Master Sikong. I understand,” Ye Jiu said.

Before the sky grew dark, the group finally reached the city gates.

Ye Jiu spoke up, “We’ve been a bother to Young Master Sikong all along the way. Just drop us, uncle and niece, at the city gates; we can enter the city on our own.”

“That’s fine. It’s getting late. Once you enter the city, hasten to find an inn to rest. I will send someone to look for you early tomorrow morning.” After Sikong Mo finished speaking, he alighted first and helped Ye Jiu down from the horse, then remounted and rode forward.

Ye Jiu saw that at the city gates, Si Nan stepped forward and showed his badge, and the guards promptly half-knelt to let them pass.

However, Ye Jiu and Ye Wenzheng could only sluggishly queue up with other pedestrians to enter the city.

The hierarchy was clear, and the security tight, with not a hint of special treatment.

On the streets, a hesitant Si Nan asked Sikong Mo, “My lord, why didn’t you let Miss Ye and her group enter the city with us?”

After all, my lord seemed so concerned about Miss Ye’s affairs, Si Nan couldn’t understand.

“I won’t be staying in the capital city for many days, and my situation isn’t that great either. Under these circumstances, forming a connection with me may not necessarily be good for her,” Sikong Mo had his own considerations.

After entering the city, Ye Jiu and Ye Wenzheng found a nearby inn to rest.

Once inside the room, Ye Jiu took out a silver note weighing two taels, “Waiter, please prepare two buckets of water for bathing, and also bring us some food.”

The waiter took the silver note, grinning to show eight teeth, “Alright, please wait a moment, sir. I’ll be right back.”

Indeed, no matter when, money was more useful than anything else.

Ye Wenzheng’s room was next to Ye Jiu’s. The two buckets of warm water were quickly prepared, and both Ye Jiu and Ye Wenzheng took a satisfyingly hot bath, washing away the exhaustion and hardships of their journey.

The waiter also prepared the meal: one meat dish, two vegetarian dishes, and big white steamed buns. The food was quite good.

The cost in the capital city did justice to its status under the Emperor’s feet–it was truly expensive. The room charged a sky-high price of ten taels of silver. If it weren’t for selling a batch of furs and some raw stones during the journey and making a good profit, she really wouldn’t have the nerve to stay in such a fine room.

Thinking it over, money earned was meant to be spent. She was, after all, a wealthy woman with several hundred thousand taels of silver to her name, and she couldn’t allow herself to be shortchanged in terms of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.

After all, ten taels was just a trifle to her now, no more than a drizzle.

After the two of them ate their fill, they quickly returned to their rooms and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Ye Jiu woke up before dawn, got out of bed, got ready, and sat waiting.
