Xiao Jin found a carriage, let Xiao Yuan and Anning sit on it, along with the children, while he, the Hui Family, and Xiao Ling walked. They traveled straight from the Ministry of Justice until they approached the city exit, where they found an inn to stay.
The inn here was cheaper because it was far from the Imperial City.
Xiao Jin felt quite stifled.
As Mr. Four of Duke Ping Mansion, he had never suffered such grievances.
He used to travel in splendor, never worrying about spending money.
But now, he had only a tight fifty silver taels, and he had to calculate carefully, ensuring that not even a cent was wasted.
Upon reaching the inn, Xiao Jin originally wanted a shared sleeping area.
But Xiao Yuan called him over: "Lao Si, rent a courtyard."
"Third Brother, I don't have money here."
Xiao Jin felt quite troubled.
Xiao Yuan then called Anning: "Give Lao Si some money."
Anning took out various items from her hair, sleeve pockets, and shoes.
