After settling down at home, Ru Yue and Chu Ning'an set off for the provincial capital with a group of servants.

It was the middle of March, and the weather was getting warmer, but it was still unavoidable that it was chilly in the mornings and evenings. Fortunately, this time it was not very busy, and she brought a few more people with her. Ru Yue instructed that they must stay in hotels in towns every day, and must not sleep in the wilderness in order to hurry on their way, lest anyone fall ill from the cold night and miss the important things later.

They have walked this route many times. Zhang Erqiang and Uncle Ma are both good drivers. Uncle Ma is the old driver that Ru Yue hired when she went out for the first time. After many twists and turns, he finally entered the Meng family and became Ru Yue's driver.

Three days later in the evening, Ru Yue and her group entered Qingyang Town. If they set off early the next day, they would arrive at the provincial capital by the evening.

After three days of travel, everyone was very tired. Even Hua Hao, who was going out for the first time, had lost her initial excitement and followed Nanny Qin listlessly. As soon as they entered the inn, Zhang Erqiang asked the innkeeper for two superior rooms and two ordinary rooms. After taking the tags, he began to help with the luggage and settle in.

"Boss, give me two superior rooms and three ordinary rooms." A rough male voice came from the door, and then a group of guards came in with two young men and women in gorgeous clothes.

"I'm sorry, sir. We only have one upper room left in our inn. We do have ordinary rooms though. How about I give you one upper room and four ordinary rooms?" The innkeeper stepped forward to explain.

"How can that be? How can my brother and I live in a common room like the servants?" The girl in the gorgeous clothes was quite good-looking, but the cruelty and arrogance between her eyebrows diminished her beauty. "If you can get us a room in the upper room, I can double the price."

That arrogant look made everyone in the lobby frown and secretly curl their lips. What's so great about being rich? Who can afford to live in a higher-class room and who would be short of rent?

"Miss, I'm really sorry." Seeing that no one around said anything, the boss had to politely refuse.

"Hey, stop right there." Seeing that no one paid any attention to her, the woman opened her mouth and wanted to call out to Zhang Erqiang, wanting to get a room upstairs from him.

Seeing that Zhang Erqiang didn't turn around to pay attention to her, she said without thinking, "I'm calling you to climb the stairs."

Zhang Erqiang glanced back at them and said in a gentle voice, "Sorry, ladies, I won't change my room."

"I'll give you triple the rent."

"Four times."

"Second sister, don't be rude." The man in fancy clothes shouted to stop the woman.

Ru Yue and Chu Ning'an exchanged glances, their brows furrowed, a hint of discontent on their faces. They muttered to themselves, "This guy is such a hypocrite, isn't he? If he truly didn't want to change rooms, why didn't he stop it from the beginning? Now that no one's responding, he's pretending to be magnanimous and kind. It's really disgusting."

The two men couldn't help but feel some disgust towards the woman, and even more disgusted with the man in fancy clothes. His twisted and complicated thoughts were so sinister and vicious that he stepped on his own sister to elevate his image. It was really unheard of.

"I'm sorry, brother. My sister is young and ignorant. I'm sorry for offending you." He clasped his fist towards Zhang Erqiang. "Could you tell your master that it's really difficult for my sister and I to have a room upstairs? Could you give us one?" He noticed that Zhang Erqiang was dressed like a servant and asked in a self-proclaimed polite manner.

"I'm sorry, sir, but it's not convenient for us to change our room to yours. You can ask someone else." Chu Ning'an stood upstairs and looked down, speaking slowly.

He was handsome, graceful, and truly extraordinary. He stood there like a shining pearl, radiating a dazzling light that was impossible to ignore. In comparison, the young man in fine clothes, although also quite handsome, paled in comparison to him, as if he had been compared to a clown.

The unruly woman, who had originally been arrogant and domineering, now looked like a nymphomaniac, staring intently at the man in front of her with eyes full of obsession. A blush appeared on her face, making her look particularly shy and charming.

"Sir, it's really inconvenient for my sister and I to travel alone in the upper room. Please, for the sake of my loneliness and weakness, give me a room!" The woman, unlike her previous arrogance, spoke softly and coquettishly, "Please, sir. Yurong thanks you."

Her coquettish voice made everyone in the inn tremble with anger. Some even crossed their arms and tightened their clothes, their eyes filled with disdain. How could such a weirdo exist? Even this Hua Jie'er looked even worse than her unruly appearance just now.

Chu Ning'an turned around and replied coldly, "Miss, you are forcing me." Then he said nothing more and told several servants to arrange the luggage.
