Shen Rujun was naturally a little anxious. His delicate eyebrows were tightly furrowed and his dark eyes were a little dazed. The wind was a little hot and his nose tip was slightly sweaty.

"What should I do?"

He muttered to himself, his expression serious.

The waiter had a lot of clever ideas. He rolled his eyes slightly and said something in a low voice.

"If you are in a hurry, you might as well go to the teahouse in the west of the city. I heard that the third prince likes to drink their tea the most."

He seemed to be a shop assistant, but in fact he had a small intelligence network and knew something about the movements of these high-ranking officials.

Hearing this, Shen Rujun's eyes suddenly lit up. He thanked him and turned to leave.

There was a voice in his heart telling him that he must cooperate with the third prince.

When they arrived at the teahouse, the storyteller was just talking about this incident, but everyone else was just there to watch the fun and no one made a big deal about it.

"The three princes are all capable. The Crown Prince cares about the people, the Second Prince is full of justice, but the Third Prince is the most capable. Everything he does can be said to be flawless."

The storyteller was gossiping at the top, and the people below began to express their opinions.

Shen Rujun looked around but still couldn't find the third prince. Feeling a little frustrated, he chose a seat and sat down. The people next to him started chattering.

"In the current situation, the Third Prince is more beneficial. The Third Prince is brave, resourceful, and knows how to make use of talented people. He is unlike the other two, who have dark hearts."

The person who was speaking was wearing silk and had a hairpin on his head that was someone else's and was obviously worth a fortune. The jade pendant hanging around his waist was crystal clear.

If he is not a wealthy businessman, then he must be a member of the imperial court.

Shen Rujun remained motionless, took a sip of tea, sat beside him, and listened carefully.

A glimmer of light flashed across his dark eyes, and he turned the teacup in his hand with a different emotion in his heart.

Suddenly someone bumped into his arm. A man with a cold face but a hint of heroism was sitting next to him. He had a sword on his waist and looked like a general.

"I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable. Except for the Third Prince, I don't think highly of the others. Next time I go to court, I will only speak for the Third Prince."

Seeing this, Shen Rujun immediately became interested. With a hint of doubt on his face, he pretended to be a little more confused.

"I find what you said strange. The Crown Prince and the Second Prince are also good. Why do you need to only stand from the perspective of the Third Prince?"

As soon as he said this, the general burst into laughter, with a hint of lightness in his voice.

"It's easy to see that you don't understand the situation in the court. Apart from the Crown Prince, the power of the Third Prince's family is extremely strong. With the support of his family, the Crown Prince has to be wary of him."

Ordinary people don’t care about these things. They only care about whether they have food to eat today and whether it will rain tomorrow.

Shen Rujun had never thought of this. There was a hint of solemnity in his eyes, and he pretended to ask a few more questions.

"I see. It seems that you all are very optimistic about the Third Prince. I believe he must have some outstanding qualities, right?"

I'm really scared of being poor. I still don't have any money, so I'm naturally a little anxious.

The general nodded vigorously, a hint of emotion on his face, and let out a light breath.

"Back then, I was poisoned on the battlefield. If it weren't for the Third Prince's compassion, I would not have been able to come back alive. He is so compassionate to the talents around him, so I naturally support him."

The two chatted for a while, and Shen Rujun had a deep understanding of the struggle between the three princes.

……

Then on the other side, Shen followed the buyer into the yard. Looking at the house in front of her, she felt a little dissatisfied and frowned.

"The things you have here are really too expensive. You want to charge me 250 taels of silver just to buy a house?"

She has always been shrewd, and even speaks in a somewhat aggressive manner, making it obvious that she is not someone you want to mess with.

The seller was an honest man. When he heard this, he felt a little uneasy. He avoided the gaze and said something bluntly.

"If you don't want it, there are others who will buy it."

The location is not too remote and it does look quite grand. It is much better than their old and small house.

But it is really too expensive. It really hurts to pay so much money at once.

Shen gritted her teeth, a gleam of light flashed across her shrewd eyes, and her brows slightly sank.

"No matter what, we really want to buy it, so please name a suitable price!"

Once you get out of the door, you will see the main road, which is indeed wide. People are walking around and it looks quite nice. There is really nothing wrong with it.

Seeing that he had the upper hand, the seller became more arrogant, waving his hands with a smile on his face.

"Two hundred and fifty taels, not a cent less."

It was obvious that he was taking advantage of the situation and showed no courtesy at all.

Shen was really reluctant to buy it, so she finally just turned around and left, deliberately throwing out a sentence.

"Then I'll go buy it from someone else and see if I can get a better place."

She really left as soon as she said she would. She turned around and left. The seller immediately became anxious and shouted at her.

"Look at how anxious you are. It's not that we can't discuss it. Can we discuss it in detail?"

Seeing this, Shen stopped and gestured the word "two" with a hint of indifference in his voice.

"Two hundred taels, if we can reach it, then we can reach it. If we can't, I'll find someone else."

She always knows how to take advantage of others and is very good at judging people.

The seller was also speechless. After weighing it for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's just consider it as making friends. I'll sell this farm to you."

The two of them exchanged money with one hand and the land deed with the other. After getting the land deed, Shen was satisfied. She weighed the money in her hand and let out a long sigh of relief.

This money is really wasted!

Shen walked into the city and watched people coming and going to buy maids. She strolled around with a slightly frown on her face.

"All of you maids are extremely skinny. Can you support them if you buy them back?"

Human traffickers are not doing charity. As long as the animals are not starving to death, they will be given food to eat. But if you want to feed them until they are fat, that is not okay.

"This whole street is like this. Mine is already considered good. These maids are obedient and sensible."

The two sides were discussing here, and Shen was still a little dissatisfied. At this time, Su Ziyu, who was not far away, widened his pupils slightly after hearing the voice.

She was stunned and her eyes narrowed.

She wants to buy a maid?

Buy it with your own private money.

Normally, Shen was extremely stingy and was reluctant to spend money, let alone buy a maid.
