Forced to be a concubine, I went to my husband's place to become a wealthy merchant

The man in black paused, as if thinking about this question. This is indeed a good reason. If two carriages are divided equally among four people, then two men and a girl will have to sleep in one carriage, regardless of whether there are two couples traveling together. Even if there are, this is not in accordance with etiquette. If two girls stay in one carriage and two keep watch at night, the remaining four people will not be able to rest well if they squeeze into one carriage.

Seeing that the other party was thinking, Ye Xi thought there might be a chance. Just when she was about to continue persuading him, another man's voice came from the room upstairs.

"Xue Jiu, why are you making so much noise?"

The voice was cold and majestic. Ye Xi felt that the other party was also a young man, but the attitude of a superior was very obvious. He must be a noble person. She suddenly wanted to back out, and blamed herself for being reckless. How could she do the same as in modern times? After all, if the other party was really a difficult superior, in his eyes, her behavior was a deliberate offense. She didn't know if he would be petty and teach her a lesson.

"My dear, my words just now may be offensive. Just pretend that I never said them. Sorry for disturbing you." Ye Xi ran away before the man named Xue Jiu could answer. He left a message and went downstairs. He walked in front of Chun Tao and dragged her out.

Xue Jiu glanced at Ye Xi's departing back, and hurried upstairs to reply to his master's question: "Master... Master, there is a lady downstairs who wants to stay at the inn, but she found that there are no rooms, so she came to ask me for one or two rooms."

"Come in and talk."

"Yes."

The man in black knocked on the door.

Ye Xi felt relieved only after dragging Chuntao out of the inn. She shouldn't have offended the other party this way. Since she couldn't borrow a room, she went to Brother Li to discuss how to rest for the night.

Brother Li had already made arrangements. They traveled all year round and encountered many such things. He planned to let Ye Xi and Chun Tao stay in one carriage, and he and another person would take the first and second half of the night respectively. Tomorrow, they would rest in the two carriages, and the other four would be responsible for the journey.

Ye Xi felt relieved. When she and Chuntao stepped on the horse stools and prepared to get on the carriage, someone shouted from behind.

"Madam, please stay."

Ye Xi quickly put down her raised foot and turned to look at the person who came. It was the black-clothed man Xue Jiu. Trouble is really coming? Ye Xi's heart tightened, but she pretended to be calm on her face.

"My dear, what are you doing?"

"Madam, you don't have to be polite. You can just call me Xue Jiu. My master heard that you wanted to borrow a room, so he asked me to come and tell you. We have reserved two rooms for you. Please accept them." Xue Jiu said respectfully.

Huh? Ye Xi didn't expect things to turn around like this. She first glanced at Brother Li and instinctively wanted to refuse. Then she thought that she was the one who asked for it first. Now that others agreed, it would be a shame for her to go back on her word. So she said, "Then thank you, Master Xue, and please help me express my gratitude to the noble man." As she said that, she quickly touched her purse and wanted to give him some money. Xue Jiu refused when she saw this.

"This is a righteous act of help, there is no need to mention money or anything. I will tell the shopkeeper to arrange for you. I will take my leave now." Xue Jiu said and left neatly.

Ye Xi retracted the finger that had reached into her purse, and the scene became a little awkward.

"Mrs. Pei, what is this?" Brother Li asked.

"This is the room I just borrowed from a guest. I thought he wouldn't agree, but he did. In that case, Chuntao and I will share a room, and you, Brother Li, can arrange the other room. It's not easy for everyone to travel for two consecutive days, so try to get some rest."
