When Xie Ming came back and saw Shen Chu, he was in a daze.

There was silence all around. Yun Shu was standing not far away. Only Shen Chu was sitting alone in the pavilion, his face supported by his hands, in a daze. He didn't even have anyone to talk to.

Goudan, who was picked up on the road, left on the pretext of visiting his parents when entering the city. Shen Chu didn't care whether he would come back or not.

It's better to stay with his parents than with her, right?

The reason she brought the person along wasn't to have him stay with her forever.

I just don't want a little kid like this to starve to death on the way.

"Chu'er."

There was something wrong with Xie Ming's voice, but Shen Chu didn't hear it. He just turned his head to look where the voice came from.

Before I could see the person clearly, I was pulled into a warm embrace.

He regretted it again.

"Chu'er, I'll take you back to the Shangshu Mansion."

Xie Ming's voice was suppressing something. When he said this, his eyes were not looking at Shen Chu, but at the empty space not far away.

Shen Chu felt a little strange when he heard this and frowned.

what happened?

Are you going to send her away again?

Shen Chu tilted his head slightly and blinked slowly, "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

In fact, Xie Ming couldn’t express his feelings now. He just felt that Shen Chu had been wronged by following him in Yancheng.

If she were in the capital, she could be a carefree young lady. Apart from anything else, Minister Shen is quite good to Shen Chu.

Even if Xie Ming didn't deliberately inquire about this, he still knew it clearly.

Therefore, if he sent Shen Chu back to the capital, she could live freely in the capital as long as she hid her identity a little.

"Yancheng is too dilapidated now."

Xie Ming's voice recovered a little, and he used other words to hide his true thoughts.

But he was telling the truth.

This was his first impression after walking around here.

Xie Ming did not do anything else today, but followed the county lieutenant of Yancheng around Yancheng.

After completing this circle, Xie Ming's feelings can be described in four words: depressed and dilapidated.

The residents of Yancheng are depressed from the inside out. Even though today's residents have received food for the next few days, they still cannot be happy.

After a few days of eating full meals, they may start to worry about what will happen next.

How will I live in the future?

Is it entirely dependent on government assistance?

How could the government possibly take care of so many people?

Therefore, there is a faint air of death throughout Yancheng, and such an environment can easily affect people.

Xie Ming, who originally didn't want Shen Chu to have much contact with these people, now became more certain of his idea.

It’s better to stay away from these people.

But what he didn't know was that Shen Chu had already gone out today.

And my mood was indeed affected.

"But... Your Highness, I don't want to go back to the capital."

The person in his arms did not struggle, but after a long silence, he suddenly spoke.

Hearing Shen Chu's answer, Xie Ming was a little surprised. He opened his mouth and asked calmly, "Why?"

He wanted to hear that Shen Chu's answer to not wanting to return to Beijing was partly because of him.

Then he actually heard it.

"I don't want to leave Your Highness... Also, I want to take a look around Yancheng."

When Xie Ming heard this sentence, the second half was automatically muted, leaving only the first half.

"Okay, then I won't go back."
