Madam Hu listened attentively, then put down her tea cup and stood up to open the door, revealing a narrow gap. The innkeeper's servant squinted his eyes, peering straight into the room. Madam Hu's face hardened as she recognized him and shouted, "What are you looking at? Do you have any business here?"
The servant grinned frivolously and replied, "Nothing, just came to ask if there is anything you might need from a humble servant like myself."
Impudent rogue!
Madam Hu cursed inwardly and slammed the door shut with a bang, angrily yelling, "Get out! If there is any business, you'll be summoned."
The servant scoffed at the closed door, sneered, and spat before slinking downstairs.
Hu Suqing lay on the bed, her face growing more unpleasant. She did not wish to stay in such a disreputable place for even a moment.
