Chapter 88 Don't Mind Your Own Business
The two returned to the house and closed the door.

Sitting at the table, Mr. Sha filled his own tea bowl with water and also added some to Jiang Xuan's tea bowl.

"She, everyone calls her Boss Yun, but I don't think she's the owner of this Yunchen Inn. But as you can see, she's a woman you don't want to mess with."

Mr. Sha spoke leisurely, but Jiang Xuan frowned.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Xuan asked.

"How could she, alone and without any family support, have managed to build up her business in Qizhou City without the support of the Wu and Gao families? These two families would not let go of such a lucrative industry."

"Maybe the family behind her is not willing to let others know?" Jiang Xuan asked again.

"Well, that's a possibility. If that's the case, then the family behind her can only be a force that can silence both the Wu and Gao families."

Old Sha stroked his beard and continued, "Looking at Boss Yun, she doesn't look like a rich lady who grew up in a honeypot, but she was promoted to be the official owner of the Yunchen Inn. Either they value her ability, or..."

"Or there must be some secret deal!" Jiang Xuan was a little surprised. He leaned forward and said what Mr. Sha had not finished.

Jiang Xuan didn't dare to think about it too much, and at this moment, Sha Lao was also lost in thought...

"Bang Bang Bang!"

The room was unusually quiet, but there was a knock on the door.

Jiang Xuan and Sha Lao looked at each other, "Who?" Jiang Xuan asked.

The middle-aged man outside the door laughed heartily and said, "Excuse me, sir! Something unexpected happened just now. It's our fault for not handling things properly and disturbing you. I've come to apologize."

Jiang Xuan frowned slightly and glanced around the room. Seeing nothing wrong, he stood up and opened the door for the middle-aged man at Sha Lao's nod.

"Squeak..."

The door is old and a bit blocked.

With a sound, the middle-aged man's face appeared clearly in Jiang Xuan's eyes.

Jiang Xuan had seen this middle-aged man before. He was the owner of the Yunchen Inn.

At this moment, he was holding a jar of wine in one hand and looking at Jiang Xuan with a smile on his face.

"Boss, what is this?" Jiang Xuan asked, looking at the wine in his hand.

"Oh, this is an apology to you, sir. Please accept it!" The shopkeeper's tone was very polite.

Jiang Xuan nodded without refusing.

"Then let me put it in for you, sir?" asked the shopkeeper.

"Ah! No need to trouble the shopkeeper, I'll take over." Jiang Xuan smiled faintly.

"it is good."

The shopkeeper handed the jar of wine to Jiang Xuan, freed his hands, and bowed to him, saying, "I apologize for frightening you, sir. If you don't mind, please give us a chance and stay a few more days, free of charge, so that we can compensate you."

Jiang Xuan had originally taken the wine jar with both hands, but seeing this, he quickly hugged the jar with his arm, freeing up one hand to help the shopkeeper up.

"You are so polite! Since the shopkeeper said so, I will stay here for a few more days." Jiang Xuan smiled politely at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper, still smiling and with a tone of satisfaction, said, "Okay, it's settled then. I still need to go see the other guests, so I won't bother you any further."

"Okay, take your time."

After Jiang Xuan finished speaking, the shopkeeper helped him close the door.

Jiang Xuan turned back to his seat and placed the wine jar on the table. "See! Maybe we're overthinking it. We're just good at business." Jiang Xuan couldn't help laughing.

Old Sha stared at the jar of wine on the table, shook his head, and said, "Without his boss's permission, he wouldn't be able to produce such fine wine, and he even waived the fee. This Boss Yun is really something!"

Jiang Xuan blinked and thought to himself, "I hope we won't become enemies in the future."

"You brat, what are you thinking about?"

Mr. Sha's question interrupted Jiang Xuan's thoughts.

Seeing Jiang Xuan shook his head, Mr. Sha did not continue to ask.

"Qizhou City is not peaceful. It's best to stay in this inn for the next two days. Try not to go out and avoid showing up in front of outsiders." Old Sha advised.

"Mr. Sha, do you have any guesses in your mind?" Jiang Xuan asked.

"It was rumored before that something happened to the Wu family or the Gao family. What do you think?" Old Sha asked back.

"Not likely." Jiang Xuan shook his head and said, "Although I don't know much about Qizhou City, I feel that the Wu family and the Gao family are only local forces after all. If something happened, it might alert the City Lord's Mansion, but it would never cause such a commotion as it has now."

"Many departments in the City Lord's Mansion are not functioning properly, and the City Lord hasn't shown up yet. This must be a serious matter."

Old Sha was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "You're not stupid, kid. So, listen to me, old man. Don't cause any trouble at this critical moment, or you'll have trouble leaving the city."

Jiang Xuan nodded, about to say something, but was interrupted by Old Sha. "Put away your curiosity, kid, and don't speculate. No matter what happens in Qizhou City, no matter if it's a major event or a trivial matter, it has nothing to do with us. When you're away from home, it's best to mind your own business, so you can live longer."

Mr. Sha's tone was not harsh, but Jiang Xuan was stunned when he heard it.

Seeing that Jiang Xuan didn't react and looked a little worried, Old Sha leaned forward and patted Jiang Xuan's forehead, saying, "You look so worried, don't you think it's unfair to be squeezed into the same room with an old man like me?"

Jiang Xuan held his forehead and came back to his senses: "Huh?"

He didn't expect Mr. Sha to change the subject so quickly, so he quickly put away his worried expression and said, "How could that be? We agreed before that I would protect you, so of course I would stay with you every step of the way. I just hope you don't feel crowded."

"Hahahaha!" Boss Sha laughed a few times, then said seriously, "But, I'm an old man, I won't give up my bed to you!"

Jiang Xuan smiled awkwardly and replied, "It's okay, I can sleep on the floor, it won't be uncomfortable."

Mr. Sha nodded and leaned closer again: "If you want, you can squeeze in with me in bed from now on. It's not like you can't sleep!"

After hearing this, Jiang Xuan's face became a little more uncomfortable. He forced a smile and said, "It's really okay, Mr. Sha. The bed is not big. Besides, it's hard to get up from sleeping too comfortably."

"You can't fall into deep sleep, it will delay things." He added.

Old Sha looked at Jiang Xuan who rejected him with an embarrassed look on his face. He felt that his purpose of teasing the little guy had been achieved, and he smiled with great satisfaction.

"Okay, old man, I'm going to sleep for a while. Don't call me for dinner before I wake up!"

Old Sha stood up, said something, and walked to the bed. He ignored Jiang Xuan and lay down on the bed, covered himself with the quilt, and fell asleep...

Looking at the old man's smooth movements, Jiang Xuan sighed softly, and envied Mr. Sha's skill of "falling asleep as soon as he landed".

Jiang Xuan added some tea to his tea bowl. In fact, he heard everything that Mr. Sha said just now.

Mr. Sha is right. When you are away from home, you really shouldn't meddle in other people's business, but you should also pay more attention to your surroundings and be more cautious. After all, human hearts are unfathomable.

Jiang Xuan stared at the jar of wine on the table, his thoughts somewhat scattered...

It would be a lie to say that Jiang Xuan is not worried about the current situation in Qizhou City. He always feels a little uneasy.
