Xie Zhinuan had a peculiar habit. She loved to cook but disliked washing dishes. Thus, whenever there were dishes to be washed, Yuanbao would immediately call the inn's old maid over, tossing a tael of silver her way, which made her ecstatic.
She would go wash the dishes with great joy.
Li Hengyi and Lian Huai were discussing whether to take the water route or the land route to hide the wine.
Meanwhile, Xie Zhinuan sat on the side, brewing tea. Into this tea, she mixed spiritual spring water and heated it on a small stove. As she brewed the tea, she listened to the two men talk.
From time to time, she glanced at the map.
Upon examining the map, Xie Zhinuan noted how meticulously it was drawn, including rivers, mountains, and small villages, all clearly marked. She saw that two circles had been drawn between Xiaohe Village and Fengping County.
Even the river had a cautious mark left on it.
