Chapter 5: The strange boss lady 1

The woman's eyes suddenly lit up, and her original loneliness disappeared in an instant. "Have you ever asked about their last names and what they do in the capital?"

"They said their surname was Lin and they were doing business in the capital. This time, because their business failed, they planned to make a living elsewhere."

The woman's expression darkened again, and her original hope was shattered again. "Her surname is Lin? That's not the case." She sighed tiredly, then turned to the waiter and ordered, "Go to bed.

!You should be tired after a busy night."

The waiter nodded. Seeing her disappointed look, he couldn't help but comfort her. "Lady boss, don't be discouraged. Sooner or later, you will definitely find it." After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.

After the waiter left, the woman took off the black gauze on her face. Without the black gauze covering her face, her scarred cheeks were instantly exposed, making her look as terrifying as a ghost.

The woman's entire cheek below her eyes was covered with knife marks one after another. Some of the knife marks even extended into her neck, which looked particularly ferocious and terrifying.

The woman sighed helplessly, caressing the scars on her face with both hands, and a hatred suddenly appeared in her eyes. There was a lot of pain and struggle hidden in her eyes full of vicissitudes of life. Another disappointment, every time

Whenever someone comes to stay, a glimmer of hope will always be ignited in her heart, hoping that it will be 'her'. Unfortunately, every time she ignites the hope, she fails every time. She looks for 'her'

'For so many years, it has never been found.

She also wanted to go to the capital to look for her, but she had no choice but to find her now. Now, she can only plead with God to let her find 'her' as soon as possible, so that she can deal with it.

Remembering all the family members who died.

Sighing lightly, she was already sleepy by now. After blowing out the candle, she needed to take a good rest now. There were still a lot of things waiting for her to do tomorrow.

At noon, the snow was still falling heavily.

After a busy night last night, Shen Chuyao was so sleepy that she crawled on the table and fell asleep. When she woke up, she found that it was already bright outside.

She hurriedly opened her eyes and saw her mother crawling on the bed and had not yet woken up, so she couldn't bear to wake her up, so she had to move gently and cautiously to the bed. Seeing that her father was sleeping soundly, she stretched out her hand and explored it gently.

She put it on his forehead. The temperature had returned to normal. After working hard all night, it was finally in vain. She smiled happily and quickly washed herself up, then left the room to find the waiter to prepare some food.

It was noon, and although it was snowing heavily outside, the business of this inn was surprisingly good. The whole hall was full of people, and the waiters were shuttled back and forth between the guests at each table.

I was as busy as a spinning top and never stopped.

She walked downstairs slowly and came to the counter. She saw a man in his thirties, well-dressed and handsome. Seeing that the man was immersed in settling accounts, she immediately assumed that this man must be

The shopkeeper. She hurriedly walked to the counter and gently knocked on the counter.

"Shopkeeper, could you please bring us some food?" She tried to lower her voice as low as possible, trying to sound like a man.

The man looked up. His slender red phoenix eyes made him look particularly feminine, but they did not damage his masculinity at all. The man looked at Shen Chuyao very carefully, and there was no trace in his black eyes. The items flashed by and disappeared quickly. "Don't worry, sir, I'll ask the waiter to deliver it later." He lowered his head and continued to settle his accounts.

Shen Chuyao was a little puzzled. She felt that the shopkeeper was so weird. He didn't even ask her what she wanted to eat or what she needed. She just dealt with her casually. She was a little unhappy, so she knocked again. Table. "Shopkeeper, you are too cold to the guests! I haven't told you what I want to eat or what I need. Why are you so casual and perfunctory with me?" She has never seen such a person in her whole life. The arrogant shopkeeper.

"I'm busy and don't have time to ask. If the girl wants to say something, I'll ask the waiter to come find you later. Just say it's enough." He still didn't even raise his head.

"Why are you so..." Her words suddenly stopped. Wait, what did this person just call her? Girl? Did he call her girl? Could it be that he had already figured out that she was a woman! Shen Chuyao didn't speak. I was a little surprised that this person could tell whether she was a boy or a girl just by looking at her.

The shopkeeper looked up at her with a shrewd smile. "Girl, do you have any other instructions?" He looked at her with an obvious smile on his handsome face.

"You...you saw it?" Shen Chuyao avoided his eyes slightly and lowered her head deliberately.

The shopkeeper chuckled and said jokingly, "I have been running an inn for so many years and have met countless people. How could you possibly be able to hide this from me?"

Shen Chuyao smiled awkwardly, and began to mutter in her heart. The shopkeeper didn't look like a good person, so she had better be on guard. "I'm a girl who takes her parents on the road a lot. It's inconvenient, so I have to pretend to be a man. However, my brother is coming soon in the next few days, so I won't be afraid of anyone bullying me and my parents." She deliberately made up a brother, which was just a disguise. I warned the shopkeeper to stay away from them and not to take any chances with them.

The shopkeeper said "Oh", not intending to expose her lame lies. "My surname is Hong, and my single name is Yun. You can call me Shopkeeper Hong."

Seeing that the shopkeeper didn't have any ill intentions and seemed like a good person, she smiled at him. "My name is Lin Chuyao." She stole her cousin's surname because the whole Loulan was still in chaos. , if they are afraid of being discovered by using their previous names, there is no guarantee that someone will not arrest them to collect the reward.

Chu Yao! The shopkeeper's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes looked at her carefully again.

Seeing that the shopkeeper's face suddenly became so weird and he kept looking at her, Shen Chuyao felt confused for a while. "Shopkeeper Hong, what are you looking at? Why are you staring at me?"

Hong Yun quickly came back to his senses and smiled at Shen Chuyao, his face a little unnatural. "It's nothing, I just thought you looked like an old friend of mine, so I couldn't help but look at you a few more times. I don't know where your ancestral home is, girl. Where is your family name?" He suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked hurriedly.

Shen Chuyao looked at him with some displeasure, feeling wary of his question. "Shopkeeper Hong, why are you asking this? This doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, right?"

It was better for her not to reveal too much about herself to strangers when she was out. If they found out that she was Shen Chuyao's father and Shen Muzhi, then I'm afraid they would arrest their whole family to collect the reward. The entire Loulan Kingdom Who among the top and bottom doesn't know that the new emperor has killed batches of ministers who once followed Concubine Yu. Among them, her father's crime was undoubtedly the most serious. He had followed Concubine Yu for so many years and Concubine Yu single-handedly promoted him to the position of prime minister. If he was really captured and brought back to the capital, who can say that Han Rongxuan wouldn't kill his father in anger?

Therefore, she had better be careful now.

Seeing the alert look on Shen Chuyao's face, Hong Yun hurriedly smiled at her and quickly explained, "I'm just asking, you don't have to be so nervous. Well, I'll help you arrange a room now so that your family can You can live more comfortably. I will ask the waiter to take you there later, and then I will bring you some food."

When Shen Chuyao heard this, she hurriedly thanked her. "Thank you, I'm worried about how the three of us will live together!" She and her mother slept on their stomachs last night. God knows how much they wanted to have a good sleep.

"Don't be so polite. I'll ask the waiter to do it for you later. You can go back to your room and rest first!" Hong Yun was eager to send Shen Chuyao away because he still had important things to do now.

Upon hearing this, Shen Chuyao nodded hurriedly, left the counter without suspecting that he was there, and went upstairs.

As soon as Shen Chuyao left, Hong Yun hurriedly waved to the waiter on the side and called him over. "You take care of the store here. I'll come back when I'm gone."

The waiter nodded, and Hong Yun hurriedly walked out of the counter and hurried upstairs.

He went all the way to the third floor, then walked through the long corridor, walked quickly through a small narrow passage, and came to the door of a room.

‘Knock knock knock’ he knocked lightly on the door.

"Come in." The woman in the room responded immediately.

Hong Yun hurriedly opened the door and walked in, his eyes quickly searching for the familiar figure. The woman in the room was sitting in front of a xylophone, with a slightly sad expression. Her face was still covered with black gauze, only revealing the a pair of eyes.

When she saw that the person coming was Hong Yun, a faint smile appeared on her lips. "You are not in the store at this time, why are you here?"

Hong Yun closed the door and walked up to her, looked at her and said with a serious expression. "I saw a girl disguised as a man today who came to stay in the hotel last night. She said her surname was Lin and her name was Chu. Yao."

"Chu Yao!" The woman stood up from the chair in shock, her eyes full of hope. "You said her name is Chu Yao? Where is she from? How old is she approximately?"

"She looks to be seventeen or eighteen years old. She didn't say where her ancestral home was, but her accent should be from the capital city. Also, her appearance..." He paused, frowning as if he was thinking about something.

"Speak quickly! What's wrong with her appearance?" She walked anxiously to Hong Yun, anxiously waiting for his answer.
