The two of them also had dinner outside before going back.

When I went back, there were still some people eating in the lobby of the inn. I looked at their meals and was glad that I had already eaten out.

After going upstairs, a waiter bumped into me in the corridor.

"sorry Sorry."

The waiter quickly apologized, and Su Huaining quickly took out a knife from the space and held it across the waiter's neck.

The corridor was so wide, but the waiter happened to bump into her. According to the scenes in previous TV dramas, the waiter must have taken something from him.

Sure enough, when she touched her waist, the jade pendant Bai Ye gave her was gone.

"Hand it over."

The waiter's eyes evaded, "Sir, what does this mean?"

Su Wanning didn't waste any more time talking to him. "On the count of three, I will give you back the jade pendant that you stole from me."

"Sir, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

"3...2...1...Since you're seeking death yourself, don't blame me."

As he spoke, Su Wanning dipped the knife in her hand a little deeper. The waiter felt that his life was in danger, so he quickly took out the jade pendant and handed it to Su Wanning with both hands.

He took the jade pendant from Xiaoer's hand and wiped it with a wet wipe from the space.

If even a waiter is like this, I wonder what kind of temper the owner of this store has.

For safety reasons, she and Zhan Yiran only booked one room. They quickly washed up and prepared to go to bed.

Thinking of letting the moisture in the room dissipate, Su Wanning opened the window.

When she was dozing off at night, there was a knock on the door. Su Wanning asked irritably, "Who is it?"

Outside, the sound of footsteps gradually receded.

Seeing that no one responded, Su Wanning turned over and fell asleep.

Until there was a constant noise outside the room.

Su Wanning sat up and looked outside at the corridor where the lights were on.

I put on my coat and walked out. At the stairs, I ran into Zhong Jingnan who was about to go downstairs. "What happened downstairs?"

Zhong Jingnan replied, "Many people in the team have been robbed. Are you okay?"

Su Wanning shook her head, thinking of the knock on the door at night, "Did you hear any knock on the door when you were sleeping?"

Before Zhong Jingnan could say anything, Cui Peifeng, who had followed, spoke first, "I heard it. I opened the door to see if there was anyone there."

Then he put the clothes on Zhong Jingnan and said, "It's still a bit cold at night."

When I walked downstairs, the lobby of the inn was full of people.

"We've run out of food and are still trying to buy some. What a thief!"

"We usually save money, but end up making wedding clothes for others."

"If I knew who it was, I would definitely not let him off."

Su Wanning frowned slightly as she looked at the people who were full of resentment. The inn was chosen by the officials, so the thief must be related to them.

But what puzzled Su Wanning was why the officials took such a risk when the exile had just begun.

Su Wanning leaned closer to Zhong Jingnan and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Did your family lose any money?"

Zhong Jingnan shook his head. Su Wanning looked at the people present again. Song Ying was there, but there was no sign of discomfort at losing the money on her face. The same was true for Minister Zhang's family.

Su Wanning looked around again but didn't find anyone from the Su family there, so the silver probably wasn't lost.

There would be nothing to say if everyone lost their money, but they were the only ones who lost almost nothing. If other people knew about it, they would become the target of public criticism.

Thinking of this, Su Wanning twisted her thigh with her hands, but too hard, and tears came out in an instant.

Su Wanning pulled Zhong Jingnan to sit on the ground.

"How are we going to live from now on? We didn't have any money to begin with, and now the few ounces of silver we did have have been stolen."

Zhong Jingnan was so frightened by Su Wanning's actions that he froze.

After realizing what was happening, he quickly wiped away his tears.

"Wan Ning, it's okay if we lose the money. Health is more important. Let's not get angry and get ourselves hurt. We're going through wild places anyway, so we can pick wild fruits and hunt game.

The most important thing now is to rest. Only after a good rest can we have strength. Let's go back and rest."

Then he looked at everyone and said, "If you find the thief, please let us know."

Regardless of whether the crowd responded or not, the two of them supported each other and walked upstairs.

Zhan Yi, who had been watching from the side, also noticed Su Wanning's intention.

How could they not know whether the money was lost or not when they slept in the same bed?

Looking at Song Ying who looked calm and composed, Zhan Yiran pounced directly at her.

"Mother, don't be sad. It's okay to lose the banknotes. They are right about your health being important. It's a pity to lose the nearly ten thousand taels of banknotes that your aunt gave you.

They have already reported it to the police, and the silver notes can be found as long as the thief is caught. You originally said that you would help out if anyone in our team is in need, but now the silver is gone, and you can't help out even if you wanted to.

I don't know what these officials are doing. Not only has no one shown up yet, but the waiter at this inn dared to steal things openly during the day."

Without saying anything more, he pulled Song Ying upstairs.

The people downstairs, perhaps because of Zhan Yiran’s provocation, began to suspect the police.

Song Ying was pushed up the stairs by Zhan Yiran. She stopped at the corner and touched Zhan Yiran's forehead. "Ranran, are you sick? The banknote is not lost. I gave it to Wang'er in advance."

Zhan Yiran took Song Ying's hand and said, "Mother, there are only a few households left. It's such an obvious targeting, can't you see it? What will happen if those people downstairs find out?"

Song Ying felt a little scared when she thought about it now. Thinking about the behavior of Su Wanning and the others, she was afraid that it was also to cover up their tracks.

Wait until Zhan Yiran returns to his room.

I saw Su Wanning squatting by the window at the end of the bed.

Su Wanning saw Zhan Yiran coming back and waved to her, "Sister, look, is this the ash from the burning incense?"

Zhan Yiran walked over, pinched a little with his hand, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed, "It's a magic incense."

Looking at the nearly half-piled ash on the ground, why weren't they affected at all?

Then he remembered that Su Wanning felt the room was too stuffy last night and opened the window.

"Did you leave the window open last night?"

Su Wanning nodded. It was indeed true. Even the window in the room was still open.

Su Wanning came to Zhong Jingnan's room and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened from the inside.

Su Wanning told Cui Peifeng about the discovery of the incense. Cui Peifeng walked to the foot of the bed and indeed found traces of burning incense.

Fortunately, I found that my child was sweating a little when I went to bed last night, so I opened the window a little.

Avoid being poisoned by the incense and losing money.

Su Wanning repeated her guess, asked them to pay attention, and returned to her room to rest.
