After saying this, she turned and left, worrying about whether she could catch the carriage into the city in time.

Xie Qifen looked at Su Yu's anxious and determined back, secretly wondering if she had encountered something urgent. When Su Yu disappeared from her sight, Xie Qifen returned to the Jiang family with the backpack and told Jiang Ziling everything Su Yu had asked her to do.

After hearing this, Jiang Ziling frowned and tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. He was full of worries about his wife's sudden departure from home and her unknown predicament.

On the other side, Su Yu, with his firm determination and unremitting efforts, finally caught up with the last carriage into the city.

She sat in the bumpy carriage, tightly gripping the bamboo basket in her hands, silently calculating in her mind what price she could fetch for this red Ganoderma lucidum in the city in exchange for a stable livelihood for her family.

Although the road ahead is full of unknowns, she is ready to face every challenge bravely.

Inside the carriage, male and female passengers were shoulder to shoulder, face to face, each wrapped in the fatigue and expectations of life, mixed in this small space.

They are all busy making a living and have no time to care about the old custom of separate seats for men and women that has long been worn away by reality.

Inside the carriage, the sounds of conversation, coughing, and wheels rolling are intertwined to form a vivid symphony of life.

Su Yu listened attentively and occasionally interrupted to ask questions.

In a conversation with a kind-looking old man sitting next to her, she learned that the destination of this trip was called "Ning County." This name, like a breeze blowing across a calm lake, caused ripples in her heart.

Her heart moved, and a familiar scene flashed quietly in her mind - the original owner's home was in a quiet village not far from the outskirts of the city.

However, faced with this sudden intersection of fate, Su Yu did not show the slightest worry or panic.

She knew very well that if she really met the original owner's biological parents by chance, it could only be said that they were unlucky.

She had already prepared herself mentally and would remain calm no matter what kind of changes she encountered.

As night fell and the sky was dotted with stars, the carriage, whipped by the driver, rushed into the city at the last moment before the city gates closed.

Su Yu paid the fare and decided to find a quiet and comfortable corner to rest and wash off the dust from the journey.

At this moment, what she wanted most was to take a steaming hot bath and then have a good sleep to completely relax her tired body and mind.

Walking in this strange yet vibrant Ning County, Su Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly: This city is really extraordinary. Even in the dead of night, the streets are still brightly lit, as if it were daytime, and the place is bustling with people.

The cries of various vendors, the laughter of children, and the conversations of pedestrians are intertwined together, forming a vivid picture of the market.

She walked to a clothing store, which was filled with all kinds of clothes.

Su Yu picked out a simple and elegant dress, planning to wash it and put it on, so as to wash away the dusty air and welcome a new life.

Then, she shuttled through the streets and alleys of Ning County, her eyes moving over the signs of inns, looking for the most suitable place to stay.

Finally, she walked into an elegantly decorated, concrete store that seemed to provide her with a temporary haven.

The waiter came out with a warm smile on his face, "Sir, are you here to eat or stay?"

Su Yu said bluntly: "I want a good guest room."

After hearing this, the waiter looked her up and down, with a barely perceptible look of embarrassment on his face.

He hesitated for a moment and tentatively suggested, "Sir, you may think the price of our No. 1 room is a bit high. How about choosing another one?"

Although the waiter's words were a bit abrupt, Su Yu knew from his trembling look that his plain clothes and dusty appearance could easily make people misunderstand him as a displaced person, so it was reasonable for him to worry that he could not afford the room rent.

So, Su Yu did not mind, but calmly took out a silver coin from his pocket, gently placed it on the counter, and said to the waiter: "Prepare a pot of good tea, a table of delicious food and a few buckets of hot water, thank you."

The waiter took the silver, examined it carefully, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

This seemingly ordinary woman was so generous. He immediately put on an even brighter smile and spoke with respect: "Okay, sir, please follow me. I will prepare everything you need immediately."

Su Yu smiled slightly, followed the waiter through the bustling lobby, and stepped into the quiet and elegant Tianzi Room.

The room is filled with elegant incense, and the warm yellow light shines on the antique furniture, making it even more cozy.

A set of exquisite tea sets was placed by the window, and various books and chess boards were displayed on the bookshelf, obviously for the guests to entertain themselves.

Su Yu looked around and nodded with satisfaction. This place would undoubtedly become her first safe haven in Ning County.

After a short rest, the waiter led the waiters to deliver food and tea to the room one by one. Afterwards, several waiters worked together to pour several buckets of hot water into the bathtub. The steam instantly dispelled the coldness in the room. "Sir, please enjoy your meal. If you need anything, please call at any time." Everything was arranged properly, and the waiter withdrew respectfully.

Su Yu slowly sat down at the table. In front of him were two plates of green vegetarian dishes, a plate of fragrant meat dishes, a bowl of steaming soup, and a few exquisite snacks.

The dishes are attractive in color and although the taste is not amazing, it is quite satisfactory and enough to comfort the hungry stomach during the journey.

After the meal, Su Yu simply stretched his body after sitting for a long time, and then leisurely stepped into the bathtub, letting the warm water gently wrap every inch of his skin.

"Um……"

She sighed with contentment. This moment was the most pleasant time she had had in these days.

After taking a bath, she felt relaxed physically and mentally, as if all her fatigue and troubles were washed away by the hot water.

Her long black hair was gently wrapped in a clean cloth. Wearing new clothes, she stood in front of the bronze mirror for the first time, quietly looking at the original owner's face.

The woman in the mirror has clear eyes and a smile on her lips. Despite having experienced the vicissitudes of life, she still retains a sense of indifference and tenacity.

Su Yu thought to herself that this was the role she would play next and also the new life she was about to start.

In this place called "Ning County", she will write her own chapter with a brand new identity.

Her skin is as white as snow, her eyebrows and eyes are like a carefully crafted painting, her nose is as straight as a peak, her lips are as red as cherries, and her teeth are crystal clear. She is undoubtedly a peerless beauty who makes people forget the world at first sight.

Every time Jiang Ziling faced her, his cheeks would always blush with shyness, and his eyes revealed admiration that could not be concealed.

It is rare in the world for someone to remain calm and unperturbed by such a stunning beauty.
