Shen Rujun was the only person who walked out of the Third Prince's room safely. At this time, the butler's attitude had changed greatly and he bent over.

His face was full of flattery, and his words were full of flattery and respect.

"The Third Prince prepared a carriage, fearing that Young Master Shen would be tired in the middle school, so Young Master Shen hurried away."

He took out the familiar cloth from his pocket again. Wasn't this the cloth bag that originally contained the money?

There was no fluctuation on Shen Rujun's face. She just slowly lowered her eyebrows and nodded slightly.

"Thanks for your hard work."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a little more weight in his hand, and the cloth bag was placed in his hand.

There was a slight smile on the butler's face, and it looked like there was nothing impure about it, as if he was doing it for his own good.

"Master Shen will need money more often in his future journey. It is not appropriate for this old servant to keep it. It is better to return it to you."

His waist was bent the whole time, as if it didn't hurt. He talked for such a long time without even moving.

Shen Rujun originally thought that the money was all gone, but he didn't expect that one day it would be back in his hands. The corners of his mouth slowly curled up with a smile on his face.

"I have to thank you for your help. Otherwise, how could I have gotten to know the Third Prince?"

"This is all your fault, it has nothing to do with me!"

The butler knew how to act properly. He bent his waist slightly and kept escorting Shen Rujun to the carriage. He only turned and left when she was out of sight.

The third prince sat in his seat drinking tea with a very comfortable look on his face. The concubines stood on both sides, pinching his shoulders, without saying a word.

"gone?"

The butler knelt on the ground and nodded heavily with an extremely deep expression on his face.

"The Third Prince is indeed brave and resourceful, taking Shen Rujun under his wing."

They had been eyeing Shen Rujun since early morning, and had not been in a hurry. They had been proceeding slowly and orderly. As expected, they did not disappoint.

Zhao Moxuan put down the teacup in his hand, with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

"A fool like him, who thinks he is so great and is unwilling to be ordinary, and has great ambitions, will be hooked after just a few attempts."

The smile on his face was so deep that it made people feel scary.

……

Shen Rujun returned home and looked at the light that was left on in the house. She felt relaxed and satisfied.

As soon as he entered, Shen placed the prepared meal on the table with a bright smile on her face.

"I have completed everything you asked me to do. The house is clean and I am just waiting to choose a good day to move in."

These poor days are finally getting better. From now on, I won’t be looked down upon by others and I don’t have to live in this remote corner anymore.

When Shen Rujun thought about what happened today, he felt a little excited. The fear he had felt had long since disappeared, leaving only his longing for the future.

"Mom, don't worry, let's talk about it later. I'm very busy these days, so you don't have to prepare meals for me."

He didn't go into detail, but just explained it in detail.

The next day, as soon as Shen Rujun opened the door, the third prince's carriage stopped at the door. The butler bent over, and the expression on his face was still somewhat flattering.

"Mr. Shen, the Third Prince wants to see you. He has specially asked me to pick you up. I have been waiting here for a long time."

The neighbors on the street seemed to be standing at the doorstep, looking in with undisguised envy in their eyes, and their voices of discussion were low but could be heard faintly.

"This child from the Shen family is really promising. Look at this huge carriage, it's inlaid with gems and the fabrics are worth our lifetime income."

Shen Rujun's vanity was instantly greatly satisfied. He raised the corners of his mouth with a proud arc and nodded slightly.

"it is good."

The carriage slowly left in the alley. Almost all the neighbors could see it clearly. The door of the Shen family was almost broken down.

Shen's mouth was so wide open that she took all their gifts.

In the yard, Zhao Moxuan was leisurely shaking the teacup in his hand, his eyebrows slightly curved, looking somewhat approachable.

"Now that you're here, I wanted you to accompany me for some tea. I'm a bit bored today."

If the Third Prince could take this out, wouldn't everyone in the capital know about it?

A trace of fluctuation flashed across Shen Rujun's dark eyes, but finally he calmed down and nodded.

"It is my honor to be of some use to the Third Prince."

How can he still look like a scholar as before when he is talking after the fact?

Zhao Moxuan didn't care at all. He just stood up, fanning himself with a fan, and went to the largest teahouse in the capital.

As soon as the two arrived, they caused a sensation around them. Everyone was whispering and guessing about Shen Rujun's identity.

Zhao Moxuan specifically found a location in the center of the teahouse so that everyone around could see them clearly and could notice them almost as soon as they came in.

"The stories told by this storyteller are the most touching. I heard that they were all collected from the people."

He was waving a fan in his hand, as if he were a regular visitor, so people around him didn't dare to go up.

Shen Rujun responded, sat gracefully beside him, and watched what the storyteller said.

"In Jiangnan, there was a poor family. Their son was very intelligent and had always been very smart. He lived up to his family's expectations and passed the imperial examination."

As soon as these words came out, his eyes suddenly darkened slightly, as if he was interested and listened carefully.

"What a pity! He chose the wrong side. He found a corrupt official in the palace as his big brother and followed him all the time. He didn't get any benefits. When the emperor found out, he had no choice but to be beheaded!"

The storyteller said a lot, but it can be summed up in one sentence: this guy is stupid and followed the wrong team!

Zhao Moxuan sighed and shook his head, looking helpless, and drank the tea in his hand.

"What a pity for such a talented person. He didn't know how to seize the good opportunities many times and just blindly followed his good big brother!"

With a trace of helplessness on his face, he finally stood up, put a silver ingot in his hand, and spoke softly.

"It's getting late. I'll go back first. A carriage will come to pick you up eventually."

Shen Rujun stood nearby and did not express any opinion. She just nodded quickly with a smile on her face.

"Third Prince, take care."

After waiting for the Third Prince to leave, many scholars suddenly surrounded him, and even a few dignitaries appeared around him, with curious looks on their faces.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Shen actually knew the Third Prince. He hid it well enough before, even hiding it from us."

Before, everyone was a classmate, hoping to pass the imperial examinations together, but now some people have already become successful, so they have no choice but to curry favor with them.
