Fulai Inn
In a small guest room on the third floor, Shen Erzhuang paced back and forth anxiously. Suddenly, the door creaked open.
When Liu Zhiyi entered the room, she had already composed herself. When Shen Erzhuang saw her, his eyes lit up instantly. He glanced over her shoulder and looked behind her. Seeing that there was no one else, his heart sank. He went to greet her without thinking too much.
"Sister Zhiyi, you're finally back. Where's Zhuzhu? Are they unwilling to release her? This is outrageous. I'm going to sue them at the government right now."
Liu Zhiyi grabbed his arm and shook her head slightly at him.
"This matter is very complicated. I'll explain it to you slowly when we get back. Don't act rashly."
Shen Erzhuang's eyes were filled with pain, veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyeballs were covered with dense red bloodshot. It was obvious that he hadn't had a good rest for a long time.
But he still nodded obediently.
The two packed up their things, went downstairs to check out of the room, went to the backyard of the inn to get the carriage, and rode non-stop to the farm.
After returning to the farm, Liu Zhiyi told them that the person who took away Chen Ningzhu was the prince.
But he didn't tell her and Shen Ningzhu about his plan. After all, they were just ordinary farmers, too timid, and telling them might cause trouble.
Shen Erzhuang's heart sank to the bottom.
No wonder Liu Zhiyi didn't let him report it to the authorities. That man was the Crown Prince, so what would that mean? But why would a Crown Prince forcibly seize a commoner's daughter?
Liu Zhiyi was afraid that the Shen family would worry, so she pursed her lips and told everyone the good news that Shen Ningzhu would not be in danger of her life. The reason why the prince took her away was actually because he liked her and wanted to take her into the prince's mansion.
After hearing this, the few people finally let go of the worries they had been holding for days. "That's great! It must be the Bodhisattva's blessing that our Zhuzhu has such good fortune. It's really great."
Shen Dashan said with a smile on his honest face.
The two brothers of the Shen family also nodded in agreement and were happy for Shen Ningzhu.
He was the crown prince, the heir apparent to a kingdom. The future emperor, no matter how many noble ladies tried their best to become his women, they wouldn't necessarily get what they wanted.
My younger sister, Chen Ningzhu, was a peasant girl, but she was able to marry the prince. This was a blessing that she had earned through several lifetimes.
Liu Zhiyi: “…”
Only Zhao Meihua looked worried. "If you're interested in Zhuzhu, why don't you just welcome her into your house openly? Why do you have to secretly take her away in the middle of the night like you're arresting a criminal?"
When everyone in the Shen family heard this, they realized something was wrong and looked at Liu Zhiyi with questioning eyes.
Liu Zhiyi's eyebrows curved, as expected, women still understand women better. So she told him that the prince wanted to take Chen Ningzhu back to the Shangshu Mansion and then to the Prince's Mansion.
Only then did they suddenly realize.
After a long moment, Zhao Meihua muttered quietly, "I actually hope Zhuzhu can marry an ordinary man. The couple can live an ordinary life in harmony. That's better than anything else."
The backyard of a wealthy family is full of beautiful women and intrigues. How can it be so easy to stay there?
Hearing this, the room instantly fell silent. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Liu Zhiyi could only pretend not to hear and try to change the subject. "By the way, I've been away for the past few days. Have you planted the lotus roots yet? Calculating the date, the fish and shrimp fry will be back soon. We need to plant them quickly and divert the water so we can add the fish and shrimp fry as soon as they arrive."
Shen Dashan replied that the crops had been planted and water had been diverted at noon today.
Liu Zhiyi nodded after hearing this.
"Brother Dazhuang and Brother Erzhuang, I want to go to the brokerage this afternoon to see if there are any large plots of land for sale nearby. If there are, I can buy a few more. If either of you is free, please go with me."
The Shen family was shocked.
We just bought a large farm with a thousand acres of land and a hundred people, why do we need to buy more land?
Oh my god, how much money do these two girls have? But buying land is a good thing. Farmers love land, and buying land is more practical than anything else.
"I'm free, I'll go with you."
"I'm free too, and I can go with you."
Liu Zhiyi thought for a moment and said, "Then let's all go. It's just right that we can buy some more daily necessities when we come back."
There are many people on the farm, and in order to rush the planting, we bought them back and immediately started working. Now that the work is almost done, it's time to buy them some clothes and daily necessities.
