"This man has incredible stamina," the shopkeeper thought slyly. "They carried on the whole night, and the woman held up well too, never fainting and even screaming until dawn... Maybe it’s been too long for them? Really desperate... They’ve only booked the room for one day; will they be able to get up tomorrow?"
By dawn, everyone had gotten up, but that woman was still moaning. Probably after crying out all night, she was too exhausted, so her voice beca softer, but it only fueled more wild imaginations.
"Why are they still at it?" the shopkeeper frowned.
Xiao’er blushed and yawned, "Shopkeeper, our guesthouse has terrible soundproofing."
"Wait, which room is it?" The shopkeeper glanced at the stairs leading to the second floor, suddenly realizing sothing.
"You hear the sound? Isn’t it that one?" Xiao’er pointed.
"Did soone check in after Huang the butler ca to book the room yesterday?"
Xiao’er shook his head in confusion. There was no one, not at all.
"Let’s go check it out." The shopkeeper got up imdiately, running upstairs.
Unfortunately, knocking on the door yielded no response; the people inside seed to be stuck together.
Although there weren’t many guests at the guesthouse during this ti, it wasn’t empty, especially with Shu Luo’s arrangent of people.
Last night’s noises had already irritated many, but such matters were not easy to discuss, right? Now, carrying on during the day was just too much. So, hearing the shopkeeper knocking, naturally, everyone ca out.
But no one answered the knocks.
No choice, they had to break down the door.
Upon bursting in, they found a man and a woman still entwined together, and that man... why did he look so familiar?
"Isn’t that the elder of the Gu Family?" soone suddenly shouted.
"This..." The shopkeeper was dumbfounded. The Gu Family was prominent in Yucheng, with nurous properties. For the elder of the Gu Family to stay at an inn and with a woman, if this got out...
"Isn’t that the Chief of Staff’s madam from the Gu Family?" soone else shouted, "Wasn’t she supposed to be ill?"
Zou Qiuyue was a model figure in the circle of ladies in the Shu Region. Who wouldn’t recognize her? Previously, it was said she was ill and returned to recuperate, which everyone found odd. Now it was clear, she hadn’t co back to recuperate but to attend to her father-in-law.
anwhile, the Gu Family was in chaos because, early in the morning, Huang Ke, who went to the main courtyard to attend to the elder’s rising, found no one there. Similarly, when soone was sent to deliver breakfast to a courtyard in the back, they discovered the person missing.
Just then, a staff mber from the inn ca over to deliver a ssage, saying that the elder of the Gu Family and the Chief of Staff’s madam were in the inn.
Upon hearing this, Huang Ke’s mind went blank, hurriedly gathering people to rush to the inn.
Seeing Huang Ke, the shopkeeper imdiately ca over, "Huang the butler, when you ca to book the room yesterday, you didn’t say..." pointing upstairs, "you didn’t say they’d be so noisy? The loud sounds kept guests from sleeping well."
"Huh?" Huang Ke was taken aback, "I... I didn’t book any room."
"How can that be?" The shopkeeper’s eyes widened. "Yesterday, you personally ca to book the room and even handed over five taels of silver. Our staff here can all testify."
"I..." Huang Ke’s head felt like it had grown another size.
"Let’s not dwell on this. First, get those two out of the room. If this continues, the whole city will know about it," the shopkeeper, not wanting to argue further, urgently waved his hand.
