"To be honest, it was a book that was forced upon me by a little girl I didn't know." Ai Yun told the truth.

The woman was not surprised. She casually put the books on the table back on the bookshelf and flicked off the invisible dust. Her hands were clean and white, and her nails shone with a tender pink glow. "Oh, then it seems that you are a fan of Mr. Xiaoyao. There were several customers who came to the store before, and their situations were roughly similar to yours."

Ai Yun felt that this was a bit like her past when fans were frantically promoting their brothers and sisters to the public. She adjusted the pearl hairpin on her head, which felt a bit heavy and a bit in the way. "Are they so fanatical?"

"It wasn't like this before. They only liked him and often asked if Mr. Xiaoyao had published a new book. Maybe Mr. Xiaoyao said in his latest book that his works didn't sell well and he wanted to stop writing, so they came up with this method. Don't worry if you laugh at me, not only does Mr. Xiaoyao want to stop writing, but our business may also be unable to continue. Maybe the next time you come, our shop will have closed down." The woman looked a little lonely, "I'm afraid our shop has delayed Mr. Xiaoyao."

Ai Yun did not comment. In many cases, a good horse and a good horse trainer need mutual support. "The location of the store is a bit remote, but good wine needs no bush."

The woman smiled, her smile was so beautiful that even Ai Yun was dazzled. "This is not a profitable business. Back then, my grandfather loved books so much that he had no interest in other things, so the elders in the family bought this place, which was considered a way for him to make a living.

My grandfather had many friends and ran the business very well. Unfortunately, I was the only one in two generations of my family who loved books and running the shop, and I happened to be a girl.

A few years ago, before my grandfather passed away, he had no choice but to hand over the business to me. I was full of energy and put all my attention into managing the shop, so I was able to continue running it.

But at the beginning of this year, my family felt that I was old enough and wanted to arrange a marriage for me. I mentioned several families, but they all thought that I was a businessman and it would be bad for me to show my reputation in public, so they declined. My parents then advised me to close the store and find a similar family to marry into.

He also said that for a woman, there is no one who would not get married. If she does not get married and does not rely on her husband's family, how will she live after her parents pass away?

I had no choice but to accept it. ”

Ai Yun sighed in her heart, she didn't agree to close the shop. Even if she did, she would not be able to trust the right person in the future, and this experience would become a bulwark for her husband's family to bully her.

Moreover, in such a society, there is only one more raft. If the husband's family wants to bully a woman who marries into their family, the family has plenty of ways to do so.

It is torturous enough to visit one's parents-in-law every morning and evening, let alone having to serve them personally and be humble and submissive.

The best things women of this era can rely on are money and children.

If they have money, even after they get married, their fathers and brothers will help them save face for the sake of money, so that their in-laws dare not do anything too excessive. If they have children, they can rely on their children when they grow up in the future, instead of continuing to flatter the husband and the in-laws.

"Here it is. If you like them, you can pick a few more. The shop may be closed next time you come, so I can sell them to you at a lower price." The woman pointed to a row of picture books and smiled at Ai Yun.

"Then I would like to thank the shopkeeper."

"You're welcome. You can choose first. Call me if you need anything." After saying that, the shopkeeper bowed and walked away.

Ai Yun glanced at the shopkeeper's back and actually saw a hint of loneliness.

On the bookshelf, Mr. Xiaoyao's books were neatly arranged. The only difference on the book covers was the handwritten titles. Ai Yun wondered, could it be that the cost of engraving the book covers was too expensive?

As expected, the names of the books all have a strong tomato flavor, and the range of topics is also very wide, including crazy stories, strong female stories, and even time-travel stories. As Ai Yun picked and chose, her guard was unconsciously lowered. The most popular book among these books was a strong female story, and Ai Yun also took one.

After she made her selection, she checked out with the shopkeeper, who indeed gave her some discounts and gave her a thinner sketchbook as a gift.

I left the bookstore and returned the same way, but nothing happened.

Ai Yun saw a low-profile carriage parked on the roadside from a distance. She knew the driver, Zhang Ling. The people in the carriage, if nothing unexpected happened, should be Zhu Yu and Prince Jing. When she got in the carriage, she glanced inside and saw that Prince Jing and Zhu Yu were staring at each other awkwardly. As soon as she got in the carriage, Zhu Yu nervously asked about what happened. Ai Yun told her everything that happened along the way.

Ai Yun held her rosy little face and turned to Prince Jing and asked, "Is it a false alarm? Is there nothing wrong with the store and Mr. Xiaoyao?"

Prince Jing recalled what happened just now, rubbed his fingers subconsciously, and said expressionlessly: "Let's take a look at those books first."

Ai Yun tactfully gave all the books to Prince Jing. Prince Jing took the books and took out a silver ingot from his purse and handed it to Ai Yun. The painting book didn't cost even a tael of silver. Ai Yun wanted to refuse, but Zhu Yu, who was standing beside her, took the silver and stuffed it into her arms, saying, "It's fine if you don't pay more, but I won't refund you if you don't pay more."

After returning to the courtyard, Ai Yun couldn't help but ask Zhu Yu: "What happened between you and Prince Jing? I felt that the atmosphere was a little weird just now."

Zhu Yu's face fell immediately, "Let's go inside and talk, it's embarrassing!"

Yu Wen at the door: Follow over and listen.

As soon as she entered the house, Zhu Yu started to cry, "Why are the people here so perverted? They even put a urine bucket in the car.

When I was waiting for you just now, I might have been too nervous and drank too much tea, so I suddenly had to go to the bathroom, and my face turned red.

I couldn't hold it any longer and wanted to get off the car. Prince Jing insisted on asking me where I was going. I didn't tell him, so he asked Zhang Ling to follow me. He said I was going to the toilet, and it would be embarrassing for Zhang Ling, a grown man, to follow me. So I told him the truth, but he not only didn't let me get off the car, but also told me there was a toilet in the car and asked me to relieve myself in the car. I didn't want to, so he sat at the door and looked at me and wouldn't let me get off. I felt that I had never been so embarrassed in my life. "

Ai Yun thought about the scene and felt it was quite embarrassing, but she still added: "No way, I think it was much more embarrassing when you took off his pants."

When Zhu Yu heard this, he immediately became angry and punched Ai Yun on the shoulder: "You damned bastard, can you please not mention this? I've already told you, it wasn't me who did it."

Ai Yun laughed so hard that the pearls and jade on her head jingled. She continued to take them off casually, "Okay, I won't say any more. If it wasn't you, then what did you do in the end?"

Zhu Yu glared at her and said, "What else can we do? Just solve it in the car. We just got out of the car and were so focused on running away that we didn't even know who cleaned up the toilet in the car. It was so embarrassing."

Ai Yun failed to hold back her laughter again, "Hahaha, I guess it's Zhang Ling."

Thinking of the scene of Zhang Ling emptying the toilet, Zhu Yu covered his face with one hand and waved the other hand weakly, "Stop talking, I want to be quiet."

Yu Wen: What's so strange about having a toilet in a carriage? These two people are weird.

Zhu Yu hasn't shown up at Prince Jing's place for two days. Whenever there's something going on, he either asks Ai Yun or Xiao Ying to come over.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Prince Jing was tired of reading. He thought of Zhu Yu's rosy face in the carriage that day and her abnormal behavior in the past two days. He sneered. Why didn't she blush when she took the initiative to throw herself into his arms and pulled down his pants?

Suddenly I felt curious. If she got married, what would she be like on her wedding night? Would she be as shy as she was in the carriage or as vigorous as before?

Zhu Yu: I really want to thank you. To be honest, the person who pulled down your pants was extremely embarrassed. And thanks to you two, I may not have a wedding night.

Prince Jing rubbed his brows and thought, forget it, why think about her, it's a disgusting thing, just continue reading, and put his gaze back on the book.

In the late night, there was a sudden knock on his door, which scared Prince Jing and he sat up from the bed.

It started raining heavily outside at some point. A sudden flash of lightning illuminated the night sky and cast the shadow of the person at the door onto the paper window on the door.

Prince Jing stayed up too late reading last night. Before falling asleep, he unconsciously thought about someone's death and slept very deeply. He was frightened by the knock on the door and the shadow of a person. Some bad memories crawled out from the depths of his memory and he broke out in a cold sweat.

The knocking on the door outside had not stopped, but became more urgent. An anxious voice floated into the room with the sound of thunder and rain: "Your Highness, wake up quickly, Your Highness, Your Highness, I have something urgent to discuss with you!"
