Wen Shutang waved his hand: "It's just a small favor. Do you two live nearby?"

The beauty shook her head slightly, then explained: "No, we are here to look for someone."

"So that's how it is. What are your names?" Wen Shutang asked casually.

A hint of hesitation flashed across the beauty's face, and after a moment she responded: "My name is Zhao Fu... This is my maid, her name is Lian Ye."

Lian Ye nodded in agreement and said, "My lady and I sneaked out of the house today to look for someone without bringing any guards, which gave those hooligans an opportunity to take advantage of us. Fortunately, we just met a kind-hearted girl like you, otherwise my lady and I would be in trouble today."

Hearing what the two of them said, Wen Shutang nodded slightly. Hearing Lian Ye calling the woman "Miss", Wen Shutang silently guessed in his heart that these two people should not be girls from ordinary families.

"In that case, then you guys go find someone quickly. I should go back as well." After Wen Shutang finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhao Fu.

"Miss, please stay. I haven't asked your name or where you live yet. Next time I have the chance, I will come to thank you for saving my life." Zhao Fu said in a soft tone with a gentle smile on her pretty face.

"My name is Wen Shutang. I'm not from Fengzhen. It's just a small matter. You two girls don't need to worry about it." Wen Shutang's voice was light, and no emotion could be heard from it.

"How can I do this? I will never forget your life-saving grace, and I will definitely repay you in the future." Zhao Fu had a determined look on her face. The upbringing she received since childhood did not allow her to be an ungrateful person.

Seeing her determination, Wen Shutang was at a loss: "I am not from here. Since the girl insists on doing this, let's talk about it next time we meet."

After hearing what Wen Shutang said, Zhao Fu lowered her head and thought about it. It seemed that this was the only way now.

"Okay, next time we meet, I will definitely repay you, young lady."

"Yeah." Wen Shutang smiled and responded to Zhao Fu.

Lian Ye, who was standing beside him, seemed to have suddenly remembered something and asked anxiously, "By the way, Miss Wen, do you know where this Tongyue Inn is?"

Tongyue Inn? Isn't that the inn where her family lives?

I was a little confused. No matter how you looked at Zhao Fu, she looked like the daughter of a wealthy family. I wondered why these two people would go to an inn.

"Are you going to Tongyue Inn?"

Zhao Fu nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Fu'er knows that you are a good person, so I won't hide it from you. The two of us came out today just to go to Tongyue Inn."

She sneaked out with Lian Ye without telling her brother and the guards, just to help someone deliver a letter. Since she had promised that person to deliver the letter, she would definitely do it.

After hearing what Zhao Fu said, Wen Shutang became even more confused, but he didn't dare to ask more questions. After all, it involved other people's privacy.

"So that's how it is. Tongyue Inn is just in front. I happen to be staying there. Let me take you there." Wen Shutang pointed in the direction ahead.

Hearing this, Zhao Fu's face lit up with joy. After looking at Lian Ye, she turned to look at Wen Shutang and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Then I'll have to trouble you to lead the way, young lady."

Wen Shutang waved his hand without saying anything else, turned around and led the two of them towards Tongyue Inn.

After returning to Tongyue Inn, Wen Shutang immediately saw the proprietress sitting in the lobby and chatting with Xiao Wan. The two seemed to get along very well.

The proprietress held Xiao Wan in her arms, and her originally indifferent brows were now tinged with a faint smile, no longer as cold and indifferent as when they first met.

Wen Shutang turned his head and signaled Zhao Fu: "This is the proprietress of Tongyue Inn."

Zhao Fu nodded and looked at the proprietress with inquiring eyes. Her gaze fell on the little girl in her arms, and a hint of surprise and confusion flashed in her eyes.

After hearing what Wen Shutang said, the proprietress noticed someone coming in at the door. She turned around and saw Wen Shutang standing there with two well-dressed girls.

She put Xiao Wan down, stood up and regained her composure, looking at Zhao Fu and Lian Ye, and asked in a calm tone.

"Are you two here to stay at the hotel?"

Zhao Fu walked forward and carefully looked at the proprietress's face. She did not answer her question, but asked softly, "Are you Qingniang?"

Hearing what she said, the proprietress was slightly stunned, and then a look of disbelief appeared in her eyes.

She had never mentioned this name to anyone except that person, so why would the woman in front of her know it?

The proprietress' tone was no longer as calm as before, and was obviously a little anxious. She stared at Zhao Fu and asked.

"How do you know my name is Qingniang? Who told you?"

Wen Shutang raised an eyebrow and looked at the proprietress whose emotions suddenly fluctuated greatly. She glanced at her and then turned to look at Zhao Fu. Why was she becoming more and more confused about this situation?

Could it be that the person Miss Zhao Fu is looking for is the boss lady? It turns out that the boss lady's name is Qing Niang. Wen Shutang said silently in his heart.

Hearing Qingniang's question, Zhao Fu pursed her lips and whispered, "That person told me that as long as I say this name, you will probably remember him."

Hearing this, Qing Niang's pupils suddenly shrank and her whole body began to tremble unconsciously. Then she looked at Zhao Fu fiercely with an excited tone.

"He asked you to come? Why did he ask you to come? Did he ask you to come here on purpose to see my ugly appearance?"

"No, Qingniang, you misunderstood." Zhao Fu was not angry because of Qingniang's unfriendly attitude. Instead, she explained in a gentle tone.

Her gaze fell on the little girl next to Qingniang, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

She asked carefully, "Is this your child?"

Without waiting for Qingniang to speak, Xiao Wan ran to Wen Shutang, hugged Wen Shutang's calf and began to explain.

"No, this is my mother. Although my aunt treats Wan'er very well, I only have one mother."

After hearing the little girl's explanation, Zhao Fu immediately felt relieved. She was originally asked by that person to deliver the letter to Qing Niang. If Qing Niang really had a child, she didn't know whether she should deliver the letter or not.

"So that's how it is. That's good, that's good."

Qing Niang had calmed down. She looked at Zhao Fu coldly and said in a stiff tone, "Did he really ask you to come here? How can I believe you? It's just a name. I won't believe it."

Hearing this, Zhao Fu took out an exquisite emerald green scent bag from her bosom and handed it to Qing Niang. She explained softly, "This scent bag was given to me by that person. He said that if you don't believe it, then you will believe it if I show you this."
