An Xi led Daohua and Dong Yuanyao straight onto the painting boat.
Along the way, many people greeted An Xi, with Daohua and Dong Yuanyao bowing their heads and following behind, playing the part of servants perfectly.
Soon, An Xi had taken the two to a room on the second floor.
"Ladies, this room is specially prepared by the owner of the painting boat for me, and no one will come here," An Xi said. "You can take shelter here for a while."
Daohua and Dong Yuanyao exchanged a glance, then both expressed their gratitude to An Xi.
An Xi smiled and said, "I need to go downstairs to entertain the nobles. Please make yourselves comfortable."
Daohua and Dong Yuanyao watched An Xi leave, and once she was gone, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The room was at the stern on the second floor. Daohua walked to the window and opened a sliver, just in time to see soldiers heading towards the painting boat.
