After escaping with her bestie, she became the white moonlight of the crazy prince

Chapter 2: The Crown Prince Takes a Concubine, the General Marries a Wife

When Shen Chu and Jiang Fuling opened their eyes again, they had already arrived at a small village in the suburbs.

This village is isolated from the world. Apart from the green bamboos, there are only large peach orchards around it. Shen Chu was very satisfied with the scene. When he thought that he would never have to see Xie Ming again, he felt refreshed, his headache disappeared, and his body was no longer weak. He felt like he could eat a whole pig.

Jiang Fuling opened her eyes at the same time as her, and seeing this scene, she couldn't help but sigh, "Screw the strategy to capture Shang Heng, people like Shang Heng deserve to live out their lives in loneliness."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chu also said, "People like Xie Ming should be immersed in calculations all their lives, calculating their brother, calculating their parents, calculating everyone in the world, and ultimately die from their own calculations."

After she finished speaking, she felt that her curse was a bit harsh, so she sighed and didn't continue.

The system told them that things in the capital had been settled and they could now lie down here with peace of mind.

Although they felt that the system was a bit too good at the moment, neither Shen Chu nor Jiang Fuling doubted it. They were just happy that they could finally get away from those two idiots and start a leisurely life of farming and raising dogs.

Little did they know that this village was not a so-called secluded little village far away from the hustle and bustle of the capital.

"Your Majesty, news has arrived from the capital that the Crown Prince has been extremely moody these days, causing great suffering to the entire Eastern Palace. Rumors are even spreading that the Crown Prince is brutal and cruel, and that if he were to ascend the throne in the future, the world would be in chaos."

The woman sitting cross-legged in front of the Buddha statue, gently twisting a string of Buddhist beads with her fingertips, was dressed simply but had an extraordinary temperament. Her eyes and eyebrows showed compassion and gentleness. Even after hearing such news, she remained indifferent and did not stop moving her hands for a moment.

"Let him go. Ming'er has always been stubborn. He was acting pretentiously when Minister Shen's daughter tried so hard to please him. Now that she's gone, he's acting like he's utterly grief-stricken and wants Minister Jiang's entire family buried with her. Who is he trying to show this to?"

The female guard, with her hair tied high and her sword tucked under her, didn't object to the woman's words. She just continued, "Are we going to take care of those who deliberately spread rumors?"

The woman closed her eyes and bowed to the Buddha statue in front of her. Her tone was calm and unmoved. "Don't bother with your dirty tricks."

"Okay, ma'am."

"I told you that you don't need to call me Empress here, just call me Madam."

"Okay, ma'am."

A few months passed quietly, and during this time Shen Chu and Jiang Fuling had already become very successful in this villa.

She knew everything, such as which family had a baby and when, or which family's son was getting married.

She and Jiang Fuling became familiar with all the old men and women at the entrance of the village.

It’s just that because of its remoteness, the information here is very backward.

For example, today, Shen Chu just learned some news from the capital from an old man who had visited relatives in the capital, but it was only half a month ago.

"I heard my eldest brother say that the Crown Prince is going to appoint a Crown Princess! It's all over the capital. They say the Crown Prince is cruel. Life will be hard if I marry him as a concubine, right?"

When Shen Chu heard this, he was eating melon seeds with Jiang Fuling. They were originally talking about the fact that the eldest son of the Liu family at the village entrance had a baby boy. After hearing this, everyone's attention was drawn to it.

Including Shen Chu and Jiang Fuling.

It seemed that everyone was enjoying talking about the royal gossip, and they all wanted the old man to pour out everything in one breath.

"Xie Ming appointed a Crown Princess? You just died, and he appointed a Crown Princess? What were your three years? Did they count as a lot of time for you?"

Shen Chu cracked a melon seed and glanced at her sideways, "Be more precise, he's been dead for six months and seven days, and you call that just dead?"

Moreover, the old man had been on the road for half a month. In half a month, let alone whether the Crown Princess was appointed, the wedding night might have already passed.

So Shen Chu didn't care much about it.

But what Jiang Fuling said was the truth. She had worked diligently for three years to win over Xie Ming, but he treated her like a nobody. But when she died, Xie Ming turned around and made her the Crown Princess?

Where does this put her?

They continued to listen, and the old man spoke slowly, "Also, I heard from my eldest brother that the son of the Protector of the Nation General, General Shang, seems to be getting married! Isn't it said that General Shang's son is devoted to martial arts and has no interest in matters of the sexes?"

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be utterly boring for any daughter to marry him?"

Everyone agreed with my uncle's words.

The old men and women who came to eat melons at the village entrance nodded repeatedly, "Martial arts fanatic... Of course, I guess it's no different from being a widow!"

The eldest sister's voice was very loud. Shen Chu heard it and nudged Jiang Fuling with his shoulder. "Shang Heng wants to get married? You just died, and he got married? Then what are these three years of yours? Do you think you have a lot of time?"

Shen Chu returned Jiang Fuling's words exactly as they were.

Hearing this, Jiang Fuling rolled her eyes and said, "Can you please shut up? It's just my bad luck, okay?"

The expression on her face remained unchanged, but she was complaining madly in her mind.

How can that piece of wood Shang Heng get married?

People like him deserve to be lonely all their lives. They are unreasonable people.

"Uncle, did you know this news when you came back?"

Everyone was arguing enthusiastically when Shen Chu suddenly spoke up.

When the uncle saw that it was Shen Chu who was speaking, the smile on his face became brighter. "Yes, I heard it when I went to the capital."

"Uncle has been delayed on the road for so long, the news should have been confirmed in the capital."

Shen Chu and Jiang Fuling are well taken care of here. They both announced that their parents died of serious illness and now they are the only two sisters left to depend on each other.

After listening to their stories, the simple and kind villagers all said that they would take care of them on a daily basis.

Although Shen Chu and Jiang Fuling did not need any care from them, they still accepted their kindness and expressed their gratitude.

Later, the villagers discovered that the two of them could actually read and write, and they felt even more sorry for Shen Chu and the other one.

Their temperament is different from that of ordinary people. If their parents hadn't died, how could they be here?

Because they are educated, most villagers will not refute what they say.

Like now.

"Yes, it's been so long now. Whether the Crown Prince will appoint a Crown Princess, and whether General Shang will marry, should have already been decided."

Someone echoed Shen Chu's words.

Shen Chu simply expressed his opinion and had no intention of continuing the conversation. "Everyone, continue chatting. Ling'er and I have something to do, so we'll be leaving first."

As she spoke, she grabbed Jiang Fuling's arm and pulled her away.

Jiang Fuling didn't struggle and let Shen Chu pull her away. When there was no one around, she spoke, "Are we going to Qingxi Town?"

Her voice was firm and there was a smile in it.

There is a restaurant in Qingxi Town. There is a waiter in the restaurant who is very familiar with them. In addition to being a waiter in the restaurant, he also has several jobs, including that of an intelligence dealer. If they want to get information, they can go right to him.

Shen Chu showed an expression that said, "You understand me," and patted Jiang Fuling's shoulder. "I just don't believe it. Did Xie Ming really appoint a Crown Princess?"

"I don't believe it either. Did Shang Heng, that blockhead, really get married?"
