Shen Rujun looked even more heartbroken, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes and her voice was heavy.

"This suffering is happening to the people, but it hurts my heart. Seeing them starve to death, I really can't bear it."

These are really crocodile tears, not worth any sympathy!

Su Jinhua pursed her red lips, her thick eyelashes hiding a look of disgust.

Seeing this, Gu Yanan secretly twitched his mouth, with a smile in his eyes, and made a joke.

"You do care about the people. You hold a high position and your salary must be high. Why don't you give some to help the people?"

Who can't do that?

If you have the guts, show off some real skills.

Shen Rujun felt as if something was stuck in her throat. A trace of gloom flashed across her amber eyes and her tone was full of regret.

"Your Highness may not know that I am a self-reliant person and cannot help you. I feel deeply sorry for not being able to help the people."

With an underground casino, the money in his pocket is probably enough to feed several people.

There was a hint of smile in Gu Yanan's eyes, which inexplicably made people feel a little dangerous.

"You see, this guy doesn't look like a clean-handed person. After all, he is so talented and courageous. He must have made a lot of money over the years."

How could she be short of money if she was related to the Third Prince?

Shen Rujun pursed her thin lips slightly, a faint light flashed on her face, and there was pity in her eyes.

"I am not as rich as the Crown Prince. His family is well-off, but I wonder when they will be able to help the people."

The two of them were talking back and forth, secretly using sticks while speaking, and everyone could sense that something was not right.

While the two were talking, Su Jinhua pretended to wander around, with Zhuying following him.

The two walked to an inconspicuous courtyard. Zhuying knocked on the wheels skillfully, and suddenly a light flashed in his eyes.

"Princess, there is a secret door here!"

She didn't dare to move any further, and there was a questioning look in her eyes.

Seeing this, Su Jinhua stopped slightly, frowned slightly, looked deeply for a few times, then quickly turned around and left.

"go!"

The timing is not right now, we must not expose ourselves.

Su Jinhua looked like he had just returned from the toilet. Seeing the two of them discussing something, he pretended to walk forward and asked softly.

"What are you talking about?"

Her voice was always gentle, and she immediately interrupted their conversation.

Shen Rujun looked a little embarrassed. He shook his head subconsciously and cleared his throat.

"I had a casual chat with the prince."

His eyes were panicked and he seemed a little uncomfortable.

There was a hint of gloom between Gu Yan'an's brows and he smiled gently.

"Yeah, just chat casually."

The atmosphere between the two was a little weird, but Su Jinhua didn't expose it at the time, he just nodded slowly.

"Okay, it's a little shady here, my husband should not stay here, lest he catch a cold."

Gu Yanan was already feeling a little unwell, and Su Jinhua was a little worried, so she pushed him out.

The two did not hang out, they just went back to their residence.

……

After Shen Rujun dealt with them, he returned to the courtyard arranged by the Third Prince. As soon as he entered, he saw County Magistrate Yang walking with several adults.

Lord Lin showed some dissatisfaction on his face, and he snorted quickly, leaning his hands behind his back, and spoke in a heavy tone.

"Mr. Shen, the underground casino business has been declining in recent days. We are all struggling to make ends meet. You have to think of a solution."

Everything was fine before Shen Rujun came, but when he came, Gu Yanan followed him, and they could only listen to his sounds and conduct the underground casino secretly.

Shen Rujun's brows were slightly frowned, with a hint of helplessness between his eyebrows, and he gently took a sip of the tea in the cup.

"Of course I understand your concerns, but the current situation is special after all. You should be patient and wait for the storm to pass. Can't you still make money?"

Now the traitor in the underground has not been found yet, and he needs to deal with Gu Yanan. He is really overwhelmed.

County Magistrate Yang was actually somewhat unhappy in his heart. When he heard this, his brows were tightly furrowed and a trace of anxiety appeared on his face.

"I don't know how long they will stay here. If they continue like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to report to the Third Prince."

He had been acting like a grandson these past few days, bowing and nodding to them, so he was naturally dissatisfied.

Before they came, he was the boss here. Now he is being a good grandson under someone else. Who would be happy about that?

There was a hint of coldness in Shen Rujun's dark eyes, and he sneered.

"Since the Third Prince has sent me here to do this, then everyone here should just listen to me. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, the Third Prince will not let you off easily."

As soon as I said this, I felt a surge of anger in my heart.

Shen Rujun originally came from a small family. If she hadn't relied on the third prince, how could she have had the status she has today.

County Magistrate Yang, who was standing aside, had a livid face, his hands resting behind his back, and he felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.

"Mr. Shen does have a point. If that's the case, then we won't disturb Mr. Shen's rest."

After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and turned away.

Lord Lin followed closely behind. He appeared polite on the surface, but there was no respect in his eyes.

When the two men walked to the door, Lord Lin immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.

"County Magistrate Yang, what should we do? We can't let Shen Rujun keep putting pressure on us and make us slaves, right?"

In Gutian County, they are the emperors of this city, and no one can shake their status.

But Shen Yang Jun came at this time, and they had no choice but to swallow their anger. It was so miserable.

County Magistrate Yang's face was so dark that it looked like water was dripping out of it. His eyebrows were slightly narrowed, revealing a dangerous light.

"Since he is now a favorite of the Third Prince, we can only be courteous to him. We just hope that these issues can be resolved as soon as possible so that we can live our own lives."

The sound of the two people talking naturally reached the ears of some people.

Gu Yan'an looked at the letter sent by the secret guard, the light in his eyes dimmed slightly, and then he put it on the table.

"It seems that Shen Rujun is not popular in Gutian County."

Although his tone was teasing, one could also hear a strong sense of coldness in it.

Su Jinhua read the contents of the letter, a faint light flashed between her beautiful eyebrows and a smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

"This is a good thing. If we can take advantage of the opportunity to disrupt them and make them reveal their true colors, it will also be a good thing for us."

The fear is that they are too united and face the enemy together, which would make them extremely difficult to defeat.

This was exactly what Gu Yanan meant, and his smile grew wider and wider.

"You think the same as I do."
