Hearing Xu San's words, Shen Chu's face changed slightly and his brows frowned. For a moment, he didn't know what Xu San meant.

What I mean is, the Grandma Wang that Goudan mentioned was using weeds to pass off as inferior goods?

And her surname happens to be Wang. Is she Wang Yu’s grandmother?

Shen Chu felt that he was thinking too much. Maybe it was just a coincidence, otherwise how could there be so many coincidences?

But her guess was soon confirmed.

"My grandma didn't pick that weed from the roadside. She just... her eyesight is blurry and she can't see the herbs clearly."

"So...so I can't tell whether what I dug up is herbs or roadside weeds."

After Xu San finished speaking, the person who reacted the fastest was not Goudan who had just spoken fiercely, but Wang Yu who was standing aside watching the show.

He originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, but since it involved his grandmother, he naturally couldn't continue to stand by and watch.

Hearing this, Xu San's expression remained calm, and he nodded slightly, "Well, even so, does her illness have anything to do with me?"

The voice was very calm, showing no signs of being affected.

Seeing this, Shen Chu couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Xu San's mentality.

This mentality is also invincible.

How is it not considered amazing?

Shen Chu stared at the person in front of him, took two steps forward, and shortened the distance between himself and Xu San.

"San'er, do you really want to collect herbs?"

Both Wang Yu and Goudan were speechless after hearing Xu San's words. Their faces showed frustration and discomfort. They could only open their mouths and swallow all the words.

"Of course I'm really collecting herbs. If not, you wouldn't think I'm doing charity, would you?"

Before Shen Chu asked what was really in his heart, Xu San was the first to deny everything.

This made it difficult for Shen Chu to continue.

But it didn't matter. She quickly thought of a new topic and asked, "So, what's going on with Grandma Wang?"

Her voice was very soft, there was no questioning in it, only curiosity. She was not questioning Xu San.

Just asking this as a friend.

Her actions made Xu San at a loss as to how to respond for a moment.

Xu San tilted his head slightly and looked at her. His expression faltered for a moment, but he quickly recovered. "It's just that... that day she brought a large basket of grass and asked me if I would accept it."

His voice was very calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"I thought she really wanted to sell herbs, so I carefully looked over the basket of herbs she brought."

"All, mind you, I said all, everything in the basket. Not a single thing is of value. To put it bluntly, it's too small to even fuel a fire."

Xu San's words were not polite at all. After he said the last sentence, the expression on his face was the same as before.

This is indeed unpleasant to hear, but if this is the fact, it is understandable that Xu San said this.

After all, the other party is completely wasting his time by doing this.

Hearing this, Wang Yu lowered his head in shame, too embarrassed to continue looking at Xu San.

This is also the reason why he spoke up for Xu San.

He was clear about this.

At that time, his grandmother had indeed been busy in the mountains for a long time, but he could see that the things she dug up were useless. However, she still came to Xu San's place to see if she could get anything.

It's really just a matter of luck.

And then he really hit the right spot.

Xu San did not take any of his grandmother's things, but the other party gave his grandmother two white steamed buns.

It was a cold night, but the steamed bun was still hot even though it had been in his grandmother's arms for so long.

"Thank you."

Before Shen Chu opened his mouth, Xu San suddenly heard a very soft voice of thanks.

This inevitably made him feel a little embarrassed, and his expression was a little unnatural. "Why are you thanking me? I just saw that she was tired all day and didn't get anything out of it, so I gave her two steamed buns."

Hearing Xu San say this, Shen Chu raised his eyebrows, with a hint of teasing in his voice, "Really?"

She doesn't believe it.

Just as Shen Chu was about to continue speaking, a voice suddenly rang out, "Aren't you going to buy something? Why haven't you gone yet... Oh my god, Shen, Shen, Shen Chu?! Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the capital?"

The boy's voice suddenly rose in pitch at the end, as if he wanted to deafen Shen Chu's ears.

Meeting Fu Jinnian's eyes, Shen Chu tilted his head, and his voice was filled with understanding, "Just now I guessed that the voice was you, and it turned out to be you."

There was no surprise in her voice, only relief.

However, when Fu Jinnian heard this, he felt confused.

What do you mean?

Hear his voice?

when?

Just now?

Is his voice so loud?

Can Shen Chu still hear it even though he is so far away?

Before Fu Jinnian could figure this out, he caught a glimpse of another person beside Shen Chu. After seeing the other person's face clearly, he subconsciously took a step back, his voice trembling, "Your Highness?!"

It’s fine that Shen Chu is here, but why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here too?

Although he had known that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would come to Yancheng, he was still shocked when Xie Ming appeared outside the house in person.

What are you doing? !

What is Xie Ming doing in this corner?

Before Fu Jinnian said this, Wang Yu thought Xie Ming was an ordinary rich man, but when he heard this, his eyes widened, with a flash of surprise and doubt in his eyes, and finally he knelt down in the direction of Xie Ming.

The voice that had always been so casual trembled. "Greetings to His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince. I didn't know you were the Crown Prince. If I have offended you just now, please forgive me, Your Royal Highness..."

He stumbled over his words, but still managed to finish what he was saying.

Shen Chu originally wanted to reminisce about the past with Fu Jinnian and the others, but when he suddenly heard these words, he couldn't help but turn his head and look over here, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"What are you doing? Why are you kneeling down all of a sudden? Get up."

As he was about to help Wang Yu up, but Wang Yu dodged Shen Chu's outstretched hand and gave Shen Chu an apologetic look.

With just one glance, Shen Chu knew what he wanted to do.

It was mentioned earlier that his grandmother had a high fever, maybe... he wanted to ask Xie Ming for help.

Thinking of this, Shen Chu stopped thinking and stood there quietly, looking at the little boy kneeling on the ground.

Since he wants to do this, then let him do it.

As for whether Xie Ming would agree or not, Shen Chu would not interfere.

After all, there are many such cases in Yancheng. If a precedent is set for someone first, the consequences will be unimaginable.
