"We've been traveling all this while so we didn't have the time to cook you soup. That's why Yang, Liu, and I went to the market to buy hens early in the morning. Once we change to another inn later, we will make you some soup to give nutritional supplements for your body."

Although Ye Ling didn't know why they needed to change inns, since Liu already said so, he had no choice but to wait until they were settled before making the soup.

It was fortunate it wouldn't take too long as a processed chicken would easily spoil in this weather.

Upon hearing him, Liu Duo nodded to show she understood. How considerate they were being made her feel a warmth in her heart.

After they had breakfast, Ye Liu went to check out of the inn and Ye Yang went to take the processed chicken. Ye Mo and Ye Ling, on the other hand, put all of the clothes they'd brought into rucksacks and then went with Liu Duo to the first floor to wait.

"Okay, we can go now."

After Ye Liu finished paying, he got on their own carriage with the others and traveled towards the city's center...

When they were closer to the city's center, the streets became wider and more bustling. However, some of the streets didn't have a lot of people on them.

Those streets were usually the paths to houses owned by rich families. That's why there were fewer pedestrians.

After going around a few inns, they finally chose to stay at an inn that also had good service attitudes like the previous one.

"Duo Er, do you smell that? It's a faint fragrance, it smells so nice." Ye Ling immediately smelled something right after he entered the room.

They hadn't smelled this scent in the room of the previous inn.

Ye Mo glanced over and saw a small stove placed in an inconspicuous spot. "There would naturally be a fragrance if incense is being burned. After all, it is so much more expensive here than the inn we stayed at yesterday so there would naturally be really big differences."

It cost one tael for just a day here. He lost weight just by thinking about it. Moreover, that was only for one room!

They rented two rooms so they needed to spend two taels of silver per day!

He'd never even dared to think that they would one day be spending so extravagantly.

After Ye Mo finished speaking, he moved his legs and went inside.

Liu Duo also smelled the scent. It smelled a bit like jasmine flowers. It was light, subtle and wasn't pungent at all. She liked it!

"You guys go ahead and rest. I will go to the back kitchen and cook this hen. The soup will only taste more flavorful if it is cooked longer," Ye Liu said. He took the processed hen and left.

Ye Yang saw this and silently followed him to help.

There were three hens. They only needed one to make the soup so they planned to braise the other two.

"Ling, how much of the money we brought do we have left? Liu Duo suddenly asked.

Ye Mo's howl from when they were paying for the rooms on the first floor just now was still fresh in her mind. It was as if she could still hear the echo in her ears.

She knew Ye Mo was stingy because he suffered from being poor in the past. That's why he was always a bit more calculative. He was the type of person who didn't like to spend money willy nilly, but instead liked to save money.

Although Ye Yang, Ye Liu, and Ye Ling also wouldn't waste money and would save when they could, they weren't as overly cautious as Ye Mo.

Ye Ling heard his wife ask so he frowned slightly, thought about it, and counted. "There should be around thirty taels of silver left."

Besides the fifteen taels of silver Ye Ling put in Liu Duo's purse, each of the four brothers had the same amount on them, ten taels of silver each.

With the money they spent while on the road deducted from the four of them, and adding that to the fifteen taels Liu Duo hadn't touched, they were left with thirty taels of silver.

Ye Ling was also shocked after he counted. They had actually used up so much money?

They'd only been in the capital for one and a half days. It seemed like they wouldn't have money left for the journey home.
