Yunlai Inn.

Lin Mo glanced at the signboard, then looked at Xu Wuyan.

She genuinely couldn't understand why he had brought her here.

Weren't they out buying supplies?

"Come in!"

Xu Wuyan took a small bundle off the carriage, then handed the carriage to the waiter, asking him to lead it to feed the horses some good feed.

He then walked inside and saw that Lin Mo hadn't moved.

Turn around and walk back to take her hand:

"Just come with me, madam. Don't worry, I won't sell you."

After entering, he went straight to the counter:

"Shopkeeper, give me a superior room..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Mo quickly reached out and grabbed him:

"Xu Wuyan, do you have too much money to spend? We're going back soon after we buy some things. What are you doing booking a room here? Use this money to buy meat for them to eat. Wouldn't that be better?"

You don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are until you're in charge of the household.

That's a waste of money.

"Madam, just listen to me."

Xu Wuyan pulled her hand down, then took out some money and handed it to the shopkeeper.

After checking into the room, Xu Wuyan asked them to send up several buckets of hot water as soon as possible.

Then he pulled Lin Mo upstairs to the upper room.

"Madam, you need to wash your hair properly and then take a hot bath to relax your body."

Lin Mo was a little taken aback.

Once inside the guest room, it dawned on me, and I felt a hint of uncertainty:

"You booked a hotel room just so I could wash my hair and take a shower?"

"Yes, what else?" Xu Wuyan's face showed a hint of apology.

"Because of me, my wife was exiled and suffered with me."

"I can't give my wife anything fancy right now, but when we go shopping in town, I can arrange for her to have a nice wash and bath."

"Is your head very itchy?"

He reached out and removed the hairpin that was holding her hair in place, then gently massaged her scalp with both hands.

At this moment, Lin Mo's heart raced, and a blush appeared on her face.

She took an awkward step back and looked up at him:

"You...you saw me scratching my head?"

"Mm." Xu Wuyan nodded.

At this moment, the innkeeper's waiter brought up hot water.

Several buckets of hot water were added to the room, making it much warmer.

Xu Wuyan handed her the bundle in his hand, "These are your clothes."

You can take your time washing. I'll go to the pharmacy up ahead and have someone prepare your medicine.

"I'll come over once the medicine is ready."

After saying that, he walked outside.

Upon reaching the door, he turned and looked at Lin Mo seriously:

"Lock the door from the inside and close the windows. Don't open the door unless I'm coming back, understand?"

Lin Mo nodded; she did have that much sense of protection.

She is not stupid.

"Well, I'm leaving now." Xu Wuyan closed the door.

But just as the door was about to close, he couldn't help but speak:

Do you need my help washing your hair?

Lin Mo's face twisted slightly, "No need!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and closed the door, locking it.

The movements were incredibly swift and decisive.

Xu Wuyan, standing outside the door, awkwardly touched his nose; he felt rejected.

After glancing around the inn and confirming that nothing was amiss, he left.

After confirming that Xu Wuyan had left, Lin Mo looked at the steaming hot water and smiled slightly.

This man is very thoughtful.

After glancing at her now-undone hair, Lin Mo adjusted the hot and cold water and began washing her hair.

The allure of washing their hair and taking a bath—who among them can resist nowadays?

After washing her hair and taking off her clothes, Lin Mo stepped into the bathtub. Soaking in the hot water, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Taking a hot bath can really make you feel much better, both physically and mentally.

She regretted it.

If she had known that Xu Wuyan had booked a room for her to take a bath, she would have called out her mother and Xu Xianyu along with everyone else.

This way, everyone can relax.

Comfortable!

Lin Mo squinted her eyes contentedly.

She stayed in the water until it cooled down before getting up and getting dressed, feeling satisfied.

She decided that whenever she passed through a town, she would check into an inn, take a bath, and wash away the fatigue of the past few days.

Just as she finished dressing, she suddenly heard a faint sound coming from the direction of the door, which startled Lin Mo.

Turning around, I saw a man dressed in a deep blue shirt closing the door.

Lin Moxin was startled and was about to speak.

Unexpectedly, the other person was faster than her. Before she could make a sound, the other person had already rushed towards her.

Lin Mo was startled and instinctively dodged to the side.

But it was too late; someone grabbed her neck from behind.

"Don't make a sound, I won't hurt you. I just want to hide here for a while," the man whispered in her ear.

"Really?" Lin Mo said calmly.

"You grabbed me by the neck and told me you wouldn't hurt me? Do you think I'd believe that?"

Lin Mo's gaze turned cold, and she suddenly grabbed his wrist, twisting it forcefully. As he groaned in pain, she slammed her elbow hard against his back.

The man staggered back a few steps, then collapsed to the ground with a thud and fell silent.

Hearing the commotion behind her, Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. It seemed that Xu Wuyan's teaching was quite effective.

Turning around, I realized that the other person had already fainted.

When he saw the bloodstains on the other person's chest, he realized that the person was injured. No wonder the person had fainted after he bumped into them.

Lin Mo stepped forward, about to drag the person out, but froze.

She knew this person.

The eldest son of the Marquis of Luyang, whose birth mother died early and whose stepmother was not easy to get along with.

It is said that this guy is good for nothing but eating, drinking and having fun, and is a well-known playboy in Luyang City.

In their previous life, when they passed through Luyang City, he fell in love with Han Yulong at first sight and chased after her, constantly bringing her food and drink along the way, being extremely attentive.

At the time, many girls were incredibly envious of this.

That's how she found out about him.

Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Han Yulong saved him in his past life, which is why he was trying so hard to please her?

Even though Han Yulong looked down on him, she still tried to win his favor.

Yes, in her previous life, Han Yulong came to this town.

So, she saved him in Qinghe Town, and that's how the rest of the story unfolded.

Just then, a commotion arose downstairs.

It looks like they're arresting someone.

Lin Mo's eyes fell on him. Could these people be after him?

Never mind, let's hide them first.

Lin Mo looked around, trying to find a suitable place for the people to hide.

After looking around, I still couldn't find a suitable place.

Meanwhile, people downstairs were already coming upstairs.

That's too late!

Lin Mo gritted her teeth, put the person into her spatial storage, and then quickly wiped the bloodstains on the ground with a cloth.

She had just finished wiping and hadn't even had time to deal with the cloth in her hand when there was a loud banging on the door.

"Open the door and check."

"Open the door quickly!"

……

"coming!"

Lin Mo responded, calmed herself down, threw the blood-stained cloth into her spatial storage, then took out a clean cloth to wrap her still-damp hair and went to open the door.

"What's the matter?"

Lin Mo opened the door and asked directly.

But the next second, she was pushed aside, and several yamen runners rushed in and began to search through boxes and cabinets.

Lin Mo suppressed her anger and looked at the shopkeeper outside the door:

"Shopkeeper, what's going on?"

The shopkeeper smiled wryly, "I'm not entirely sure either. I've only heard that someone tried to assassinate the county magistrate who was passing through, but failed and was wounded and fled."

They said they ran into this area and disappeared, so we came up to search for them.

"Madam, please bear with them; they'll leave once they can't find anyone."

Just then, the head constable walked over:

"What were you doing in there with the door locked? Did you see a seriously injured man?"

Lin Mo was very annoyed by the yamen runner's tone, but she also knew that she couldn't cause trouble right now.

He pointed towards the bathtub:

“I was taking a shower just now, and I didn’t see any injured men.”

The constable glanced in the direction of the bathtub, then his eyes fell on her. "If you see him, remember to report it to the authorities."

After saying that, he immediately led his men to search other places.

The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief when he found no one in his shop.

After apologizing to Lin Mo repeatedly, he went downstairs.

Lin Mo quickly closed the door and then released the eldest son of the Marquis of Luyang from the spatial dimension.

Seeing the bleeding wound on his chest, Lin Mo was shocked and quickly took out medicine and gauze from her space to bandage the wound.

After a flurry of activity, and confirming that he wasn't dead, Lin Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the way I bandaged him, I couldn't help but feel disgusted.

So ugly.

Never mind, as long as the person isn't dead.

Just then, there was another knock on the door, and Lin Moxin was startled:

"who!"

"I!"

Xu Wuyan's voice came from outside the door.

Hearing that it was Xu Wuyan's voice, Lin Mo finally felt relieved.

This whole thing was so shocking, it was unbearable.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself down, Lin Mo then went to open the door.

"Are you alright?" Xu Wuyan asked with concern.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mo pulled him into the house, and then she immediately closed the door.

This move completely baffled Xu Wuyan.

"Madam, what's wrong?" Xu Wuyan asked anxiously.

His wife's expression made him nervous, as if something big was about to happen.

Lin Mo glanced at him:

"Next, stay calm."

After saying that, he pointed to the bed in front of him.

Xu Wuyan followed her hand and looked over, instantly losing his composure.

He went out for a while, brewed some medicine, and then she found a man.
