"Miss, it's time to get up!"

Before she could even open the store, the sound from outside the door instantly made Shu Ran withdraw her restless fingers.

"Miss, please have breakfast first, so you can take your medicine as well."

Cuixiu carried a food box, followed by Cuizhi carrying toiletries.

It seemed that shopping would have to be postponed for now. Shu Ran lingered in the warm bed for a while before getting up.

Cuixiu withdrew with the empty bowl. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people available in the courtyard, and that she herself was about to go home, she wondered what would happen to her young mistress.

Filled with worries, Cuixiu began her busy day.

After seeing everyone off, Shu Ran sat upright at her desk, opened a book, and then accessed the online store.

Rows of gray items indicate that they are unavailable for purchase, including items such as spaceships and warships that Shu Ran was eagerly anticipating. This is not only due to the availability of star coins, but also mainly due to the restrictions on items between different planes and the biological incompatibility.

Soft sunlight streamed through the window, falling on Shu Ran. Her delicate, fair face was serious, as if she were making a major decision.

After removing the restricted items that couldn't be purchased, Shu Ran was dazzled by the 999+ items on the page. She wanted this and that, but her Star Coins were limited. After much deliberation, she added and subtracted items from her shopping cart, and finally spent all her Star Coins.

She spent most of her money on a 60-square-meter portable retro apartment with furniture and appliances. Although she wouldn't need it now, she would definitely need it when she ran away. If the environment wasn't good, it would greatly improve her comfort during the journey.

With not many star coins left, Shu Ran simply used them to buy daily necessities, and would use the remaining two months' salary to buy other things.

High-cleanliness sterilization washer-dryer combo, clearance sale price only 1000 Star Coins, I'll take 3; Tudoran oral cleaning balls, 300 balls per box for only 30 Star Coins, buy 10 get 1 free, I'll take 30 boxes first; Yameizhe multi-effect bath and care set, all-around cleaning and care included, only 150 Star Coins, such a good deal, I'll take 20 sets; there are also some small items such as wipe-clean soft toilet paper, super comfortable soft four-piece bedding set, temperature-regulating clothing, etc.

The item arrived right after I placed the order. The ten-slot system space wasn't quite enough, so I transferred it directly to my own space without having to take it out for transfer. It was all done with just a thought.

Summer has arrived in the blink of an eye. It rained last night, which brought a little coolness to the sweltering weather.

Looking at the temperature-controlled clothes in the space, Shu Ran's eyes were full of longing, but unfortunately she couldn't wear them now. Her food, clothing, shelter and transportation were all limited, and she couldn't fool the eyes of the people around her.

Leaning against the window frame, Shu Ran stared out with great interest.

In the corner, the orange tabby and the tabby cat were locked in a fierce battle, while the beautiful calico cat next to them was leisurely grooming its fur, completely oblivious to the awkwardness of being caught juggling two women, as if it were an outsider.

"...Miss, Miss, did you hear what I said?"

Shu Ran withdrew her gaze and looked at Cui Xiu in front of her, very calmly: "I heard that yesterday, Wang Ma from the small kitchen was transferred to the second concubine's courtyard."

After a pause, Shu Ran asked, "How many people are left in our courtyard now?"

“Inside the house, Cuizhi and I are taking care of things. In the small kitchen, there is only Master Guo and two kitchen maids, and then there is Li Ma and Xiaohe who guard the gate and clean the yard. There are only seven people in total. Moreover, Master Guo will quit at the end of the year and go back to his hometown. Li Ma is not young anymore, and I will also be going home to get married in a few months.”

Cuixiu was worried and wanted to postpone the wedding again, but Hongge's family couldn't wait much longer. His grandfather was in poor health and they didn't know if he could make it through the winter.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime event, and she dared not delay any longer. Besides, Brother Hong had already waited for her for too long, and she could only apologize to Miss; she could no longer stay with her.

In less than half a year, more than half of the people in the courtyard had left. Shu Ran checked her memories and found that the original owner's mother had never mistreated these people when she was in charge of the family!

Forget it, it's better if there are fewer people. She'll feel more comfortable without so many people watching her.

"I remember you mentioned before that your wedding is in October this year, and you're going home next month to prepare for the wedding, right?"

The little boy's serious demeanor was a stark contrast, and neither of the two people in the room found it incongruous.

Thinking of her marriage, Cuixiu's face flushed instantly. Whether it was shyness or guilt, she didn't dare to look into Shuran's clear eyes. She just whispered, "Yes, Miss, but I want to go back in September so I can spend more time with you."

"It's not suitable. Let's stick to the original plan! I don't need many people here. Cuizhi is enough."

Shu Ran rejected Cui Xiu's suggestion. In fact, she didn't really need anyone to serve her, so having one more or one less wouldn't make much difference.

Seeing that Shu Ran didn't seem reluctant at all, Cui Xiu didn't refuse her mistress's kindness anymore.

After settling her last paycheck, the balance on her temporary personal computer had reached six figures. Apart from indulging in a shopping spree at the beginning, Shu Ran had saved up her wages from the last two months, totaling Star Coins for the second and third months combined.

In addition, I also stocked up on about 500 pieces of various ores in the space, so this experience with the cheat software was quite fruitful.

First, let's solve the problems left over from the small apartment I impulsively bought last time—get it connected to water and electricity. I'll get twenty 500-star-coin energy blocks; one block should last about ten years. I'll also get two hundred 10-star-coin water purification balls; each ball contains ten tons of water, which should be enough for her.

After opening the temporary computer and making a final selection of the items that had been added to the shopping cart over the past two months, he generously spent all his Star Coins.

It was replaced with a bunch of interstellar products: temperature-controlled fabric, accelerated incubator, anesthesia ring, spider silk bracelet...

They also packed up some promotional items that the store had discarded: laser igniters, solar-powered vans, multi-functional military shovels, shampoo and dryers, nano hemostatic sprays...

Each item was signed for and placed into the space, categorized and sorted, taking up only a small corner of the space.

After a busy morning, the enjoyable and immersive shopping experience finally came to an end.

Using the ice maker in my small apartment, I made myself a refreshing iced tea to cool off and beat the summer heat.

She silently wiped away a tear of bitterness in her heart, thinking that it was better to leave the Qian family compound as soon as possible. There wasn't even a block of ice left this summer, and even the electric fan that Shu Ying had bought for Qian Duoduo at a high price was taken away by Qian Chengji's mother without a word.

Shu Ran was in a good mood, and even seeing Qian Chengji again, whose purpose was unknown, did not affect her good mood.

"Father, it's been so long since you've come to see Duoduo." Shu Ran tugged at Qian Chengji's sleeve, her eyes full of affection.

After staying indoors for more than half a year, Shu Ran's face became extremely pale and sickly, without a trace of redness.
