Shen Jiaojiao slept alone last night. Before, Chu Tianling was always clinging to her, but she didn't feel anything.
It's still a bit strange to see it suddenly gone.
I'm always worried that his life is in danger.
Although she initially came here intending to become a widow, now that she knows she has to protect his life, she still cares a little.
Well, let's go pick him up as soon as possible. I don't know how his investigation is going.
She thought she had gotten up early enough, but when she arrived in the hall, the gentle mother and daughter were already seated.
Yesterday, she specially arranged for someone to send them brand new clothes.
Now, Wen Nuan is wearing a new light blue dress, and her hair is styled in a flying bun with two blue hairpins.
She seemed like a completely different person, suddenly exuding a youthful energy.
Zhang was wearing a new navy blue dress, and she looked very elegant with a bright smile on her face.
"Greetings, Crown Princess!" The two quickly bowed.
If it weren't for the Crown Princess taking them in yesterday, they wouldn't have been able to have a full meal. Today, they even got to wear new clothes. The two of them are truly grateful to the Crown Princess from the bottom of their hearts.
"Get up quickly! I didn't expect you to be up so early!" Shen Jiaojiao was very happy to see that the two of them looked much better.
After a pleasant breakfast, Shen Jiaojiao asked Chunhua to bring over a plaque and handed it to Zhang Shi.
"Since you're divorced, I'll call you Aunt Zhang!"
Zhang subconsciously stood up, wanting to bow, but mainly because of her status, she didn't know what to say.
"No! No!"
Shen Jiaojiao quickly pulled her hand and made her sit down: "Aunt Zhang, sit down and listen to me!"
Zhang sat down.
"This sign is a manor that my mother gave me as part of my dowry when I got married. It's in the suburbs and is called Jiao Lan Manor. In the past, we used to grow fruit trees and the like. There were quite a few rooms there, and the hills and fields were also quite large."
"Do you remember what I mentioned to you yesterday? I plan to use that estate as a base, gather all these unfortunate women there, train them, and then send them out."
"This is the general plan for now. I want you and Wenrou to help me manage the estate first. We need to hire some tutors and take any women we encounter who need help there."
"Are you willing to help me?"
"Yes, yes, we're all willing!" Zhang readily agreed.
The Crown Princess is truly a wonderful person. She not only provides me with a place to live but also gives me something to do, even if it's for free.
Looking at the sign under Zhang's hand, she took the wooden box that Chunhua was holding and opened it directly.
Inside was a thick stack of banknotes.
“Aunt Zhang, take these banknotes. We need to buy a lot of daily necessities for the estate. As the population grows, we will need to prepare all kinds of food, clothing and the like.”
"And we'll also need to hire a craftsman, which will cost money. Don't refuse, just accept it. We'll need you to take care of things later."
Ms. Zhang was moved again. They had given her so much money; they weren't worried at all that she would run away with it!
"What have I done to deserve such trust from the Crown Princess?" Zhang choked up as she said, "Your Highness, rest assured! I will do my best to fulfill this duty!"
"Aunt Zhang, don't worry about the construction work. You must take good care of yourself. Wenrou will need you in the future! Take care of yourself and Wenrou. If there are any problems, just have someone from the estate run errands to me! Don't think it's a hassle!"
"Mmm! Okay!" Zhang was moved countless times, as if all her bad luck had disappeared the moment she met Shen Jiaojiao.
She felt that the future was full of sunshine.
Shen Jiaojiao sent someone to pull a carriage to take Zhang and her daughter to the estate. The great cause of rescuing women begins today.
Wenrou kept the curtain closed until she could no longer see anyone, then she finally did so.
Zhang held Wenrou in her arms, a smile on her face, her heart filled with beautiful expectations for the future.
"Mother, I like the Crown Princess, she's so wonderful!"
"Yes! Mother likes it too. You should study hard on the estate so you can help the Crown Princess in the future!"
"Okay!" Her eyes shone with joy.
Shen Jiaojiao watched the car drive away and got into another car to pick up Chu Tianling. He said he was busy with official business yesterday, but he didn't come back all night.
I wonder if he got enough rest.
When they arrived at the government office, Zhou Guang jogged out to greet them.
It wasn't a long distance, just a short stretch, but he ran it with the eagerness and enthusiasm one would show when receiving a distinguished guest.
A pair of smiling eyes, and a short mustache.
Shen Jiaojiao could tell at a glance that this person was not simple.
Her face was practically oozing with slick flattery.
"Welcome, Crown Princess!" Zhou Guang was all smiles on the outside, but cursing under his breath.
He stood there like an idiot at the door all day yesterday! He even went to sleep hungry last night.
When he was awakened by the aroma of food wafting from the storeroom, he was both cold and hungry!
As a result, the two of them completely forgot that there was a poor person standing at the door.
Oh shit!
I also had to consider the other person's feelings, so I pretended to be asleep when the big oaf came out and left his empty rice bowl!
Who would understand! In this freezing weather, he just lay there, cold and hungry, falling asleep right outside the door, and then had to put on a smiling face for his wife when he woke up in the morning!
It's simply not a life for a human being.
"Has His Highness the Crown Prince not come out yet?"
"Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince is still in the storeroom. This way, I'll take you there!" Zhou Guang hunched over, taking small, hurried steps.
Shen Jiaojiao looked at his small, swift steps and admired him once again! He took steps like he was running 800 meters, even though the distance was very short.
