Xie Lin stumbled out, only to see the backside of Zhou Gu's horse. He rubbed his eyes and lamented, once again, his incapacity to hold his alcohol.
The innkeeper came out, smiling, and said: "Young Master Xie, Young Master Zhou instructed me to arrange a carriage to take you home."
Xie Lin knew he was in no state to ride, so he nodded, "Hmm."
So, the innkeeper arranged a carriage and helped Xie Lin into it.
Once Xie Lin had boarded the carriage, he asked the innkeeper, "Is Lan Niang from your establishment back in the Capital City?"
The innkeeper nodded, "She had come to the Capital City, but she left not too long ago. She will return after a while."
Xie Lin nodded, not forgetting what he had said earlier, and repeated in a drunken haze, "If anyone causes trouble, don't hesitate to mention my name."
The innkeeper bowed, "I will remember your words, Young Master Xie. Thank you for your intervention."
