Chapter 345: Hard Times



"Cui'er, don't worry. Your young lady is exhausted. She didn't take good care of herself, so her old illness came back. Also... this place can't be lived in for a long time. Your young lady can't live in such an environment."

The moment Gu Yunru walked in, she felt surrounded by a gloomy aura. There was no sunlight here all year round because there were two big locust trees blocking the way in front of the yard. Those two big locust trees belonged to the family in the next yard. It would be extremely difficult to cut down these two trees.

"What should we do? Our young lady is always thinking about saving money..." Cui'er was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Gu Yunru walked around the room and found a thick stack of papers on the desk, covered with handwriting as small as ants.

"This is..." Gu Yunru picked it up and looked through it carefully. Cui'er added, "This is a collection of novels written by the young lady. It tells the love story of the master and the lady."

"So that's how it is."

Gu Yunru sat aside and nodded in understanding, planning to spend some time reading what she wrote. After reading it, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Miss...how are you?" Little Leaf took the handkerchief and was shocked to see the young lady crying.

"This story is so touching. Did your young lady tell me the name of this novel?" Gu Yunru was immersed in this heart-wrenching love story and couldn't extricate herself. The ups and downs of the plot were also described just right. It seems that the talented woman really deserves her reputation!

"Our young lady hasn't been named yet. She said that it would take two more pages to finish the story." Cui'er was happy for the young lady when she saw that the princess really liked the story.

"Okay, by the way, Cui'er, this is the prescription. Go to the pharmacy tomorrow morning and get these medicines to make for her." Gu Yunru personally wrote a prescription and handed it to Cui'er, who nodded in ecstasy.

One morning.

When Shen Aojun opened her eyes hazily, she found Cui'er sorting out the manuscripts she had written. She stood up with the help of the edge of the bed. Cui'er quickly put down her things and helped her walk to the table.

"Miss, how are you feeling?" Cui'er observed that the young lady's complexion was much better than the previous two days.

"I feel much better. Did you buy all those medicines?"

"Yes, but the prescription was written by the princess." Cui'er blurted out in a hurry, knowing that the young lady had repeatedly warned her not to ask anyone for help.

"I'm sorry, Miss. It's all Cui'er's fault. Cui'er shouldn't have called the princess..." Cui'er slapped herself in the face. Shen Aojun waved her hand and said, "Don't be like this, Cui'er. I know you are doing this for my own good."

Shen Aojun breathed a sigh of relief. Cui'er put the noodles aside, picked up the chopsticks and said, "When the princess came over that day, she was also very worried about your condition. She also read the novel you wrote and praised you highly."

"Really?" Shen Aojun looked at Cui'er in surprise. Seeing that she was not smiling with her eyes open, it shouldn't be fake.

"Of course. I also asked Cui'er what the name of the novel was. Cui'er replied that she hadn't decided on it yet." Cui'er's eyes were filled with a deep smile. Shen Aojun felt much more comfortable and nodded, but heard the sound of gongs and drums outside.

"It's so depressing living in this broken yard. There are streets all around us. Any noise will be heard inside the house." Cui'er muttered to herself. She has not had a good night's sleep since she lived here.

"The young lady seems to be in a wedding procession. I heard that Kang Keren has already married into the general's mansion." Cui'er spoke carefully. She came to her side and saw that she looked depressed. She knew that what she said was a bit inappropriate.

"Miss, there is nothing to miss about a treacherous man like General Huang." Cui'er wanted to comfort her, but found that the more she spoke, the more wrong she was. She had to remain silent and left in anger.

"Princess..." Cui'er looked up and saw a blue figure, followed by the prince. She was so scared that she didn't know what to say. She looked nervous and spoke incoherently.

"May the prince be well...May the princess be blessed." Cui'er said as she turned her head to glance at the young lady in the room, then hurriedly left with the tray.

When Shen Aojun heard the noise outside, he quickly put down his chopsticks.

Rong Zhen looked up and took a look around the courtyard. Although the space was large enough, it was filled with too much gloomy energy and was not suitable for people to live in for a long time.

"Prince... Yunru, why are you here?" Shen Aojun was extremely surprised. She had not dared to talk to the two of them face to face. She did not expect that they would take the initiative to come and see her. She had already appreciated this kindness.

"Let's come and take a look, Aojun. I bought a shop on West Street with a wing room at the back. I think the yard is nice, but I haven't found the right person to help me take care of it yet. Are you willing to help me?"

Gu Yunru smiled brightly, but Shen Aojun looked confused and puzzled after hearing this.

"I?"

"That's right. Yunru is busy developing her business now. Although I don't understand what she means, I vaguely know that we need to expand the business." Rong Zhen recalled what Gu Yunru said to him at the time. It was already very good that he could remember three out of seven sentences.

"But..." Shen Aojun was quite relieved, but it was still difficult for her to see Oleander when she thought of the incident. She didn't know whether the misunderstanding had been resolved.

"Aojun, you don't have anything to do except writing novels here every day. Why don't you help me look after the shop? I really need some help now." Gu Yunru walked up to her and held her hand tightly, and this intimate gesture brought the two closer together.

"good."

Soon, Shen Aojun and Cui'er moved to the shop on West Street. There was a bright courtyard behind the shop. Cui'er looked at the spacious place and her mouth almost stretched to her ears.

"The princess is so kind to you, young lady. It means that she no longer takes that matter to heart. But young lady, please don't bring up the matter of oleander on your own initiative in the future." Cui'er kept talking, and the dull atmosphere seemed much more cheerful.

At this time, Xiao Ye asked someone to bring in a few boxes of things. The items in these boxes were all prepared by the prince and princess to supplement the family income.

"Xiao Ye, this time it's all thanks to you, otherwise there might still be a rift between the young lady and the princess."

"You're welcome. I'll say it again. Our young lady trusts Miss Shen very much." Xiao Ye said with a smile, looking at Shen Aojun and said, "Miss Shen, the things have been moved here, so can I go to the street with Cui'er to buy some more things now?"

"Of course you can, just be careful."
