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

When these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned, but they quickly reacted.

Maybe... his grandfather was buried in Yancheng and couldn't leave.

Shen Chu suddenly turned around and walked towards the carriage not far away. After getting on the carriage, she rummaged around inside and soon walked out.

But when she came out, she had two more pancakes in her hands, the same as before, both wrapped in oil paper.

Seeing this scene, Xie Ming immediately understood what Shen Chu wanted to do.

Exactly as Xie Ming was thinking, Shen Chu walked over and handed the two pancakes in his hand directly to the skinny little boy.

The girl had a gentle smile on her face. The warm sunlight shone through the dense leaves onto her, covering her with a layer of warmth. "Do you want to go back to Yancheng to see your grandfather?"

The little boy looked at the pancake being handed to him, but did not reach out to take it. Instead, he immediately answered Shen Chu's question, "I want to."

"My father and mother didn't want me to stay in Yancheng and asked my uncle to send me away, but I didn't want to leave, so I ran away."

He was very organized and didn't seem like a child from an ordinary farmer's family.

In that case...

Shen Chu's smile deepened a bit, "You act as my little guard, and I'll give you food, how about that?"

Handing the thing in his hand forward again, Shen Chu added, "Remember to protect me."

The little boy's already wide eyes widened even further. After thinking seriously, he nodded, "Okay!"

Only then did he finally accept the sesame cakes that Shen Chu handed to him, but he swallowed his saliva and did not open the oil paper to eat the two sesame cakes.

Shen Chu thought he just wanted to save it for later and didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he walked over to Xie Ming and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, you won't be angry if I take the initiative like this?"

Although she asked such questions, there was no fear on her face and her eyes were full of smiles.

It was obvious that he already knew how Xie Ming would answer this question.

Xie Ming looked at her, chuckled, and said deliberately, "Yes."

Hearing this, Shen Chu slightly widened his eyes, moved closer, and softened his voice in Xie Ming's ear, saying coquettishly, "Then don't be angry, okay?"

Her voice was so soft that no one except Xie Ming could hear what she said.

The girl had a faint fragrance on her body. Xie Ming couldn't tell what the fragrance was, but he just thought it smelled particularly good.

Gently pulling the person into his arms, Xie Ming's eyes curved and he said in a reluctant voice, "Okay then."

Shen Chu was amused by her acting. She broke free from Xie Mingdao's embrace and pretended to be serious, "Should we hurry on?"

Yun Shu originally wanted to answer this question, but before he opened his mouth, he noticed Xie Ming next to Shen Chu and quickly stopped talking.

"Chu'er, get on the carriage and continue on your journey."

Hearing Xie Ming say this, Shen Chu immediately nodded, "Okay."

"What's your name, kid?"

Before getting into the carriage, Shen Chu looked up at the skinny little boy.

Hearing Shen Chu asking him a question, the little boy immediately stood up straight and said his name loudly, "Sister, my name is Goudan!"

what?

Dog eggs?

This name is a bit too rough.

"Goudan, huh? Okay, come sit in the front of the carriage and remember to protect me."

"it is good!"

Before lowering the curtain of the carriage, Shen Chu raised his hand and waved to Xie Ming.

Then he got into the carriage.

In fact, it would be very uncomfortable to sit in a carriage for a long time. Shen Chu was a little tired now and even wanted to get off the carriage and walk for a while.

But this would slow down the process, so she could only resist the urge and sit obediently in the carriage.

Watching the scenery along the way slip away from his eyes, Shen Chu felt a little melancholy and suddenly wanted to find someone to talk to.

So she set her sights on Goudan who was sitting in the carriage with Yunshu.

"God damn."

A female voice came from behind. Hearing Shen Chu's voice, Goudan immediately asked, "What's wrong, sister?"

"How is Yancheng now? Can you tell me about Yancheng?"

Hearing Shen Chu's words, Goudan immediately nodded and followed Shen Chu's words to start talking about Yancheng.

"Yancheng has been raining for the past six months, and because the accumulated water hasn't been drained, many people's houses have become moldy and damaged, and large areas have collapsed."

"At first, the situation was manageable, and the government was helping to repair the collapsed houses. However, as the number of collapsed houses increased, the government gradually became overwhelmed."

"Add to that the recent tax collection, which directly aroused public anger. Many Yancheng residents became dissatisfied and started to attack the government office with weapons, demanding an explanation."

From the beginning, Shen Chu felt that Goudan's speech and manner were not like that of a child from a poor family. After hearing these words, this feeling became even stronger.

If Goudan was just a child from a poor family, how could he know so much?

In that era, even children from ordinary families who were this old could not recognize a few words.

It is even more difficult to express all of this in such a clear and organized manner.

Thinking of this, Shen Chu couldn't help but frown, "Goudan, you are not a child from a poor family, right?"

When Goudan suddenly heard this question, his expression changed and his small hands clenched tightly. Yunshu noticed his series of movements and quietly paid attention to him.

This is why Xie Ming felt at ease letting Shen Chu take a strange child with him.

With Yunshu guarding Shen Chu, he can rest assured.

No matter what this child is hiding, a five-year-old child cannot threaten Yun Shu.

"Did my sister find out?"

After a long time, Goudan finally spoke.

Shen Chu was holding the storybook in his hand, and when he heard these words, he showed an expression that said, "As expected."

"My dad runs a bookstore, and I've been running around in his bookstore since I was little. While other kids were playing outside, I was reading at home."

"While other children were eating and playing, I was reading, so I learned a few words."

He said it easily, and it seemed like that period was quite easy for him.

If that's the case, it makes sense.

Shen Chu didn't ask any further, but instead asked, "What about now? Was it still raining in Yancheng when you left?"

"Yes, it rarely stops raining. Everyone goes to the government office in the rain."

Why is there so much rain?

The rain has forced people here into a desperate situation, while there has been no rain for several months over there, and the crops in the fields are about to die of drought.

They are really two extremes.

Shen Chu was about to ask something else, but she heard Goudan ask her, "Sister, who is this big brother who was so close to you just now?"

When asked this question, Shen Chu was stunned for a moment. She thought for a long time and was about to blurt out "He is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince" but she held it back.

And what Shen Chu finally said was,

"He is my sister's husband."
