Chapter 1536: 1536 on the road to the capital city 2

Shen Yun knew her Husband had thought things through properly and did not say anything more.

The Shopkeeper of the inn immediately came out to greet such a formidable group of guests outside the door, "This Master, Lady, are you looking to rest your horses or to stay at the inn?"

"We’re staying," Xiao Chonghuan said, pulling out a gold bar from his sleeve pocket, "I’ll take your entire inn for ourselves, ask the guests to leave."

The Shopkeeper dared not accept it, "Guest, the inn would be honored to host an exclusive event for you, however, the guests staying these past few days are all prominent figures, including the young Master from the Ning family, a second-class aristocratic Family, along with the young master from the third-class noble family Lu, accompanied by several court Ministers. I really can’t afford to offend them."

"Hmph, just second and third-rate aristocratic families," said Shen Yun. "Do you have any idea who my Husband is?"

The Shopkeeper knew the other party had powerful connections, "You are..."

"Oh, isn’t this the head of the first-class noble family, the Xiao’s?" A young gentleman emerged from the inn, "I didn’t expect to meet the Master of the Xiao Family here."

Xiao Chonghuan glanced at the young man, Ning Bolan, the third son from the second-class Family of the Ning family.

Named Bolan, the man was uneducated and spent his days idly wandering the pleasure quarters, throwing money around like dirt, a textbook example of a hedonistic son.

"Greetings, Master of the Xiao Family." Although Ning Bolan was dissolute, he was well aware that the Xiao Family was not someone he could afford to offend, so he was very obsequious in his attentions, "The Master of the Xiao Family personally went to some what... poverty-stricken town..."

He glanced at his servant behind him, who immediately answered, "young Master, it’s Longwan Town."

"Right, you went to some unheard-of Longwan Town to fetch your son," Ning Bolan said earnestly. "Are you returning to the capital, Master Xiao? You must have reunited with your young Master."

Although Xiao Chonghuan did not take such a degenerate young man seriously, he still showed a modicum of respect for the family he represented with a nod of his head.

"Ah, I suppose your young Master is around my age. I would like to make his acquaintance," Ning Bolan said, peering around. "Why don’t I see your young Master?"

"My son has sustained an injury, so let’s talk about making acquaintances some other day," Xiao Chonghuan certainly did not want his only child associating with such a prodigal.

Seeing Xiao Chonghuan’s reserved demeanor, Ning Bolan did not press the matter, "Master Xiao, I and the fourth young Master from the third-class noble family Lu are staying here; we arrived first, and as it’s getting late, if you book the entire inn, we will have nowhere to stay at such short notice. There are still upper rooms in the inn, you don’t need to book the entire place to have your rest undisturbed. What do you think..."

"Then I’ll give you face and open two upper rooms," Xiao Chonghuan was diplomatic; even though the other’s family was not as prestigious as a first-class family, he did not want to create conflicts with second and third-class families.

"Much appreciated," Ning Bolan exchanged a few more pleasantries.

The Xiao Family took up their lodging at the inn. Xiao Yuchuan was carried in by a guard.

The inn was bustling with activity, and no one noticed that in a quaint and elegant side room of the small building in the backyard, a young man with an ordinary appearance was sitting at a table enjoying desserts.

A servant came in from outside and said respectfully, "young Lady, it turns out that the son-in-law is also staying at this inn."

This servant was actually Maid Yinzhu in disguise; she had applied medicine to her face as instructed by the young Lady, turning her originally fair skin yellowish. Dressed in a servant’s attire and being taller and more slender than most girls, she indeed resembled a man.

This young Lady was none other than Su Qingyue.

Qingyue had secretly spent a significant sum to acquire a human skin mask. Wearing it along with her male disguise, others merely saw her as an ordinary young Master.
