At the beginning, the two guards scolded her several times. Once, the dark-faced guard almost made a move, but Duan Rulan put on a desperate posture. Later, the two were so annoyed by her that, in the end, they let her have her own room.

This then left Ah Chou unable to sleep in a guest room. The two guards ordered Ah Chou to squeeze into the woodshed of the inn and make do with it. Since it’s not like she hadn’t slept in a woodshed before, she had no complaints with this arrangement all the way from the capital to Tongliao. Unfortunately, today, the woodshed of the local inn in Tongliao was already occupied, as were the wide, communal beds, and only a few of the rooms above were still empty. The two guards had no choice but to book a room for Ah Chou. This was the very first time that Ah Chou would sleep in a guest room. Duan Rulan was staying in the room next to hers.

Ah Chou can finally take a hot bath. Not only that, she can now also sleep in the soft bedding. Just thinking about it felt wonderful. As soon as she entered the guest room, Ah Chou went straight to the carved bed and rolled three times. In the end, she couldn’t get out of bed anymore and skipped the hot bath, falling asleep with her clothes on.

The next day.

Ah Cho was woken up by a sudden, loud knock on the door, which was accompanied by the harsh voice of a man. She jumped up from the bed, tidied up her clothes, combed her disheveled hair with her fingers, and hastily ran to open the door. It turned out to be the dark-faced guard standing impatiently in front of the door, his face seeming gloomier than before. “You little bitch. Just because you stayed in a guest room, do you think you’re the master now? I even have to wake you up! “

“This slave knows her mistake! This slave knows her mistake! Officer, please calm down. This slave will boil water for you to wash your face!” Ah Chou ingratiatingly bowed like a spineless slave. This action couldn’t be helped. She has been a slave for as long as she can remember. Whenever she would meet someone, regardless of how little their power was, she would subconsciously flatter them. Besides, although the dark-faced guard has a foul mouth and a frown on his face, Ah Chou felt that his heart was warmer than the other guard, who was always indifferent.

“Go and wake up your master first!” The dark-faced guard was very impatient. While walking back, he kept cursing. “It is said that a fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken. That little bitch still puts on airs in front of me. I have to go and tell her several times to get out of bed. You think too highly of yourself.” 

Ah Chou rushed out of her room and knocked on Duan Rulan’s door, but there was no response, so she had no choice but to shout out, “Miss! Miss! Are you awake yet?”

 

But even after calling for such a long time, there was still silence inside. Ah Chou started to feel uneasy in her heart. She knocked on the door again, and her voice became louder. “Miss! Miss! Open the door! “

“What’s going on with you?! Did somebody die?” They couldn’t stand the noise she was making anymore, so the dark-faced guard came out. 

“Officer! Officer! Miss isn’t responding!” Ah Chou was in so much panic that her fear towards the guard was forgotten. She grabbed the guard’s arm and anxiously said, “Officer, would you please ask the owner to open the door?”

The two guards immediately panicked. They were ordered to send Duan Rulan to Ningguta. If something happened to her on the way, it would be their responsibility. Now, they were afraid that their little lives were in danger.
