Chapter 23 Nightmare
In the Fulai Inn, the butler personally sent Miss Qi back to the inn. After seeing Miss Qi and the maid went upstairs, they walked to the counter where the shopkeeper was.

"Is this master going to stay in the shop?" The shopkeeper had the most wink, seeing the butler's style, he knew that he was not young, and his face was immediately filled with a smile, and he couldn't be more polite.

The butler said to the shopkeeper: "I am the steward of Mr. Zheng's house. The girl who came in with me just now is a distinguished guest of Mr. Zheng's house. Please take care of the shopkeeper a little bit more. If this girl encounters any troubles , please send someone to Mr. Zheng's residence immediately to report to the shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper was based in Pengcheng, so how could he not know who Mr. Zheng is? His heart was even more terrified, and he immediately nodded with a sorry smile: "Don't worry, we will definitely take care of it!"

The shopkeeper put two ingots of ten taels of silver on the counter: "This is Miss Qi's rent and your reward!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand: "Oh, I can't use so much, I really can't use so much!"

The butler didn't say much, just smiled, turned and left.

The shopkeeper also laughed, and hastily accepted the two ingots of silver, feeling ecstatic in his heart, 20 taels of silver is not a small amount, and Miss Qi's rent is only five renminbi a day.

"Miss, do you think our room is warmer than usual?" Xue'er had already taken off her jacket, but she still felt a little hot.

Ms. Qi laughed and said, "The fire is burning so hot, so it can be warmer."

Xue'er looked at Miss Qi's charming and bright smiling face, and said with a smirk, "Miss, you look so pretty when you smile, you should smile more."

Ms. Qi shook her head: "You can only laugh if you want to. If you don't want to laugh, why force yourself? I'm not trying to pretend to laugh!"

Xue'er thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, why should we smile at those people? We only laugh when we are happy, and we don't laugh when we are not."

At this time, Xiaoer's knock on the door came from outside: "Miss Qi, I have brought you hot water."

After hearing this, Xue'er hurried to open the door. She was thinking about going down to get hot water, but it was delivered unexpectedly.

Good guy, there is a lot of hot water sent, four people brought it up, a full eight buckets of hot water.

The four of them entered the room carrying buckets, went directly to the clean room behind the curtain on one side, and poured the steaming hot water into the large bathtub in one go, and put the remaining bucket aside with a lid to keep it warm.

When Xiaoer left, he also confessed that if there was not enough hot water, they would bring it right away, even if they asked.

When the people left, Xue'er wondered: "Does the sun come out from the east? Why are these people's faces so different? I asked them for hot water yesterday, and look at their reluctance. What kind of wind is blowing now?"

Qi Rongyue was about to take a bath, and it was just right that there was hot water, so she got up and walked to the clean room, but she did not forget to explain Xueer's doubts.

"The housekeeper of Mr. Zheng's house sent us back today. He must have confessed to the innkeeper that they are so attentive." Power is a good thing, otherwise, how could so many people fight? What about fighting for life?

Soaking in the bathtub, she closed her eyes comfortably, and when her whole body began to relax, her brother's frightened and helpless face appeared in her mind, his eyes were wide open, his face was covered with tears, With a cloth ball stuffed in his mouth, he wanted to scream but couldn't make a sound, his small body was tightly bound to the carved dragon pillar, and in front of his eyes were the fragmented father and mother, blood flowed to his feet, Flow over him and flow to a farther place.
