Shen Rou took Fang Yun for a long distance. Fang Yun said gratefully, "Master, thank you. My name is Fang Yun. You saved me today. I will be your slave from now on and work like a cow or a horse to repay your kindness!"

Shen Rou looked at the frail girl in front of her, and felt a surge of pity for her, perhaps because she was a poor, orphan like herself.

"Fang Yun, you don't have to be like this. I didn't save you to make you my slave. Everyone should have their own freedom and dignity, and you are no exception. When you become strong in the future, no one will dare to bully you."

After hearing Shen Rou's words, Fang Yun's eyes sparkled with tears.

She lowered her head and said softly, "Sir, you are a good man. I have no home anymore. If you don't mind, I am willing to follow you and do anything for you. I will never betray you."

"Fang Yun, I'm just passing by here and I have to go somewhere else to do business. I can't take you with me."

"Besides, it's your home and you deserve to go back. Even your sister-in-law has no right to drive you away. If she dares to marry you off again, you can report it to the authorities and ask them to intervene."

Fang Yun quickly knelt down and said, "Sir, if I go back now, my sister-in-law will definitely beat me to death. She is usually a fierce temper. My brother was bullied by her when he was alive. Now that my brother is gone, she is even more lawless."

"It's hard for a judge to settle family disputes. Even if the adults come forward to resolve it, it will only work temporarily. When I come back, she will be even worse. I'm really scared and don't want to go back to a home without my family."

"Please, sir, show me a way to survive!"

Shen Rou looked at the fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl in front of her and pondered for a moment. "Since you don't want to go home, go to the 'Shen's Breakfast' shop in Yunzhou and tell my grandma that Shen Rou asked you to come over. You can help my grandma with work in the shop and I'll pay you as usual."

Shen Rou took out ten taels of silver from her bosom and stuffed it into Fang Yun's hand. "Take this silver as travel expenses to Yunzhou!"

Fang Yun knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, "Thank you very much for taking me in, sir. I will definitely go to Yunzhou to help the old lady and repay your kindness."

Shen Rou quickly helped her up and said, "Go to my house and live well. Now come with me to get a travel permit."

"Thank you, Mr. Shen."

When they came out of the government office, Fang Yun looked at Shen Rou cautiously and asked, "Sir, aren't you afraid that I'll run away if you give me money?"

"I believe you won't run away. If you do, just think I'm shortsighted. If you can find a good family to marry into, it will be a good thing for me."

"Don't worry, I will never betray your trust. I won't bother you anymore. I'll go to Yunzhou to find the old lady."

"be careful on the road."

Fang Yun bowed to Shen Rou repeatedly, looking back every few steps as he walked towards Yunzhou.

Shen Rou walked to the door of a restaurant, and the waiter hurried forward and greeted her with a smile, "Sir, would you like to stop by or stay overnight?"

"Stop here and feed my horse some hay. I'll be on my way soon."

"okay!"

Shen Rou walked in and sat at the table. The shopkeeper came over with tea and said, "Sir, what would you like to eat?"

"Two of our signature dishes, and two steamed buns."

"Sir, please wait a moment."

Shen Rou drank tea and rested.

At this time, Prince Shangguan Ling entered the restaurant with two guards. Seeing Shen Rou sitting there alone, he sat next to Shen Rou without any hesitation.

Shen Rou raised her eyes and glanced at Shangguan Ling, and said coldly: "Sir, there is someone here."

"Meeting is fate, why don't we sit together? I'll treat you to a meal and we can become friends."

"Excuse me, I can still afford a meal, and I'm not in the habit of making friends with strangers. Please go ahead."

Two guards stood by and saw Shen Rou not giving the prince face. They angrily scolded her, "You are so ungrateful. It is an honor for you that my young master can be your friend."

Shen Rou rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "I don't need this honor. Leave now."

The prince pretended to be angry and scolded the guard, "Ye Chen, don't be rude. Apologize to the young master."

"Yes."

He clasped his hands together and bowed, saying, "Sir, please forgive me. I was so reckless and offended you. Please forgive me."

Shen Rou didn't even raise her head and said coldly: "I accept your apology. Can you leave now? I want to eat."

The prince's face was extremely ugly. He had lowered his status to greet her, but she was so ungrateful. When had he ever suffered such injustice?

He left angrily with his guards, and happened to meet the second prince of Beiyan, Rong Che, and his guard Jing Yu coming in. They passed each other, glanced at each other, and left.

Rong Che was sitting not far away and looking at Shen Rou. Shen Rou suddenly felt someone staring at her and suddenly looked up in Rong Che's direction. Rong Che didn't expect Shen Rou to be so alert. She didn't feel embarrassed about being caught. Instead, she nodded politely and greeted him.

They looked at each other without saying much, and Shen Rou nodded slightly.

The food was served quickly, and Shen Rou picked up her chopsticks and started eating with relish.

After eating and drinking, Shen Rou paid the bill and left the restaurant with her horse.
