Chapter 277 The Bustling Xuzhou Pier

A few people went to the inn and asked for some rooms.

When it was time to pay, Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smack her lips. A room cost 200 coins for one night!

The prices in Xuzhou are too expensive, almost as expensive as a bar of soap.

Her face was full of pain, and Yu Ying'er directly threw out a silver ingot.

Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes widened.

Princess Duan is from a wealthy family, and even her little maid is so rich.

As if she noticed her gaze, Yu Ying'er raised her chin and glanced at her arrogantly: "Little girl, if you don't have money to pay for the room, I can help you pay it."

"No need." Jiang Xiaoxiao took out two hundred coins from her purse and handed them over, smiling at the shopkeeper inside, "Just a guest room will do."

Seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao so ignorantly rejecting her kindness, Yu Ying'er snorted softly, feeling a little unhappy in her heart.

It's obvious that the Jiang family members are from the countryside. Not only are they dressed in ordinary clothes, they are also relatively knowledgeable. It's probably their first time to a big place like Xuzhou. I'm really worried that walking with them will lower my status.

That lowly girl Su Wanwan is worthy of being the daughter of a lowly maid. She can actually get along well with such a country folk.

Thinking of this, Yu Ying'er unconsciously distanced herself from Jiang Xiaoxiao, as if she was afraid that staying next to her would lower her status.

Yu'er took the initiative to move over and looked at the somewhat shriveled purse on Jiang Xiaoxiao's waist with concern: "Xiaoxiao, did you not bring enough money? You will have to pay extra for dinner at the inn later. I still have some money here that you can use..."

"It's okay, Sister Yu'er, I'm going to go out to eat with mother later." Jiang Xiaoxiao shook her head.

She actually wasn't short of money. There were already several silver ingots in the two small boxes that Su Wanwan had given her. She felt they were heavy, so she didn't put them in her purse.

Her wallet was now empty because she had put the anesthetic gun back into her arms so that she could take it out and use it at any time.

There are many people in Xuzhou and they have many eyes. If the capital sends people to kill them again, she can always take out the tranquilizer gun to deal with them.

After choosing the room, they ordered a table of food in the lobby on the first floor of the inn.

Several people hadn't eaten since last night and were already starving. As soon as the food was served, they started to eat it without caring about how it tasted.

"Xiaoxiao, come and eat something. I'll treat you to dinner." Yu'er did not forget to invite Jiang Xiaoxiao to come and eat together.

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and shook her head: "No, Sister Yu'er, you guys eat first, I'm going to the clinic to find my mother."

After saying this, she ran out of the inn without waiting for Yu'er to try to persuade her to stay.

After what happened on the boat, she was even more afraid to eat food outside. She decided to go back and eat the lobster dinner in her mother's space!
The inn and the clinic are not far from each other.

But she came out alone, and fearing that something might happen, she rushed to the clinic without stopping.

But halfway through the walk, she still felt a pair of eyes following her from behind.

She paused, then pretended nothing had happened and continued walking towards the clinic.

His hand quietly touched the anesthetic gun in his arms.

We arrived safely at the clinic, and the sight did not disappear, but seemed to stop somewhere not far away.

So, she did not go into the clinic, but shouted outside: "Mom, I'm back."

Jiang Wei came out immediately.

Jiang Xiaoxiao stepped forward, took her hand naturally, looked up and smiled sweetly: "Mom, let's go eat together."

Jiang Wei seemed to understand her hint, glanced behind her not far away, and then smiled and replied: "Okay, Mom will take you to eat delicious food."

As he said this, he took her hand and walked towards the bustling street.

"Don't worry, the person following you is the waiter in the inn. He was probably sent by Yu Ying'er to follow you." Jiang Wei's voice sounded quietly in his ears.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was stunned. It turned out that the person following her was sent by Yu Ying'er?
"Why did she send someone to follow me?"

Jiang Wei glanced at the clinic behind him and whispered: "She probably wants to see when we leave the clinic so that she can take action and put the blame on us in the end."

"She's so abominable!" Jiang Xiaoxiao clenched her fists. "If we leave now, won't that give her a chance to attack?"

"Don't worry." Jiang Wei curled the corners of his lips, "Before you came back, the area around the clinic was already filled with Prince Duan's secret guards."

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "..."

Fine.

Then her worries were indeed unnecessary.

With so many secret guards guarding her, even if something happens to her, Su Wanwan will be fine.

Prince Duan was really quick. He sent so many people not long after they landed. He should know everything that happened on the merchant ship.

In this era, although there is no navigation or telephone communication, people of this era have their own informants and ways of disseminating information.

But especially those who are in high positions, the speed at which they obtain information is no slower than modern people.

but……

Since Prince Duan has sent so many secret guards to protect Su Wanwan's safety, why is he unwilling to show up?

Could it be that Su Wanwan really did something to let Prince Duan down?
When she thought of this, Jiang Xiaoxiao felt a little depressed.

How come Shen Que and Su Wanwan have known each other since childhood...childhood sweethearts?

Thinking of what Su Wanwan had told her in the carriage before, Jiang Xiaoxiao felt tired intuitively.

Alas, no wonder Shen Que is hated and hunted by so many people in Beijing.

She admitted that Shen Que looked good, but how could Su Wanwan have been thinking about him for so many years, even breaking up with the Su family for him? Even after being married to Prince Duan for many years, she still couldn't forget him...

How did what she thought was a drama of a scumbag chasing his wife turn into a drama of a man abandoning her husband and children for love and cheating on his childhood sweetheart?

This bloody and tragic love story between Su Wanwan, Shen Que and Prince Duan would probably take at least several hundred chapters to describe in a novel.

If she hadn't read the original novel, she would probably have mistaken Su Wanwan for the heroine.

After thinking about it, she shook her head and sighed softly.

"Why do you always sigh like a little adult?" Jiang Wei glanced at her.

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and pointed to a seafood stall not far ahead: "Mom, look, there is a seafood stall over there."

Jiang Wei looked in the direction Jiang Xiaoxiao pointed.

The street they were walking on was not far from the Xuzhou wharf. The busy streets on both sides were filled with all kinds of seafood, including live fish, crabs, white shrimps, clams, scallops...

At a glance, all you can see are fresh and large seafood products.

The vendors were calling out their wares one after another, greeting the customers coming and going.

"Come here, this freshly caught river saury is the freshest, 80 cents a piece!"

"These freshly caught shrimps are five cents a handful. Anyone want them?"
