Chapter 2322: Change of Attire

The waiter took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and said to the group, "Master Meng, this is a map of Qingxuan County."

The map was concise, and the waiter pointed to several main streets. "From here to the third street, that's my temporary residence. I've prepared night clothes for you in the room, and you can change if needed."

He pointed to a specific house and handed Meng Yunzheng a key.

"For safety reasons, Lord Qi Lie's whereabouts have always been uncertain. I don't know where he is today. When you arrive at this room, there will be clues."

Meng Yunzheng nodded and stored the map. "Thank you for your assistance."

The waiter smiled and said, "I have to leave now. Staying here too long would raise suspicions. I'll come back in an hour. Is that enough time?"

Shu Yu nodded, "That's enough."

With that, the waiter left. Once he was gone, Shu Yu took out her makeup kit and began to apply makeup to Meng Yunzheng.

The makeup she applied would make him look exactly like the waiter who had just left.

The Fulu Inn had been in Qingxuan County for many years, so their stay wouldn't raise any suspicions. The inn itself and the innkeeper were not problematic, but the inn's waitstaff were brought in by Qi Lie.

This waiter's build was similar to Meng Yunzheng's, and although their facial features were different, their overall appearances were quite similar. With Shu Yu's skills, she could make him look 70-80% like the waiter. In the late evening, others wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

They had been staying inside the inn for these past few days to allow Shu Yu to observe and mimic the waiter's appearance, including his walking style and habits. Two days of observation and imitation were enough.

After the waiter had left, the sky had darkened. Shu Yu swiftly transformed Meng Yunzheng to look like a different person.

An hour later, when the sky was fully dark, Ying Xi went out to call the waiter to collect the dishes.

When the waiter entered the room, he immediately took off his clothes and exchanged them with Meng Yunzheng.

As they switched clothes, he said, "At this time, it's the end of my shift. After you take these dishes to the kitchen, you can leave. Come back early tomorrow morning when the sky is getting bright. We can switch back then. Also, there's a curfew in Qingxuan County, so be careful of patrolling officials at night, Master Meng."

"I understand. Thank you," Meng Yunzheng replied.

After exchanging some instructions, Meng Yunzheng quickly changed his clothes and, holding the tray of dishes, walked out of the room with his head slightly lowered, imitating the waiter's mannerisms.

At this time, the sky was dark, and unless someone was very close, they wouldn't be able to tell that the person entering and leaving had changed.

Once Meng Yunzheng had left, Shu Yu also applied makeup to the waiter.

After finishing, the waiter followed Zhao Xi back to his room, and they chatted along the way. Zhao Xi had an expression of speechlessness as he said, "I don't understand why you two are arguing. We're in a foreign place; don't make a spectacle of yourselves. Besides, a couple shouldn't separate when they're quarreling. You should go back to your room. I don't want to share a room with you. If you're really unhappy, how about we get another room?"

Before Zhao Xi could finish his sentence, he was pushed into the room by the waiter, who then closed the door.

Shu Yu stood outside the room, her face darkening, and she coldly snorted, "If you have the guts, don't go back to our room."

With that, she also closed the door, and the several rooms fell into complete silence.

At the same time, Meng Yunzheng finished cleaning the dishes and left the inn, returning to their "home."

The sky had completely darkened.
