There is a happy inn in the capital.

Chapter 234 The Road Was Blocked

Li Shuchen asked the woman next to him, "Auntie, what's going on here?"

The older woman glanced at Li Shuchen and replied, "I see you're a young girl too. You mustn't follow her example. Sigh, it's quite pitiful."

Li Shuchen: "What did she do?"

The woman sighed and said, "She got pregnant before she was even married, and the child's father didn't want her and just ran away, leaving the mother and child here crying. The woman holding the little girl is her mother. What kind of situation is this?"

Li Shuchen nodded in agreement, saying, "Don't worry, Auntie, I definitely won't follow her example."

This young girl is in the same situation as Miss Yun; both of them were deceived by scumbags. Sigh, didn't she write a poem? Didn't it get out?

With so many people coming and going on this main road, it's not a good idea for the mother and daughter to keep crying here. She needs to hurry on her way to plant cotton.

He stepped forward and advised, "Madam, why don't you take her home?"

Upon hearing the word "go home," the young girl suddenly reacted strongly, repeatedly chanting, "I don't want to go home, I don't want to go home, I want to wait here for Gou Lang to come back."

The proprietress hugged the little girl tightly, saying with heartache, "My dear daughter, come home with me."

The young girl pleaded, "Mother, I don't want to go home, please, Mother, Gou Lang will come back for me, he will definitely come back for me."

Princess Changning alighted from her carriage and walked to Li Shuchen's side, asking in a low voice, "What happened?"

Li Shuchen replied in a low voice, "Miss He Yun's situation is similar."

Princess Changning nodded in understanding.

Li Shuchen approached them, squatted down, and said softly, "Girl, he won't be coming back. If he truly loved you, he wouldn't have let you become a laughingstock here, nor would he have cruelly abandoned you and your child. To put it bluntly, he has no feelings for you."

The young girl retorted loudly, "You're talking nonsense! He treats me very well, he loves me very much, he cares about whether I'm cold, hot, hungry, or thirsty, he's considerate and attentive to everything I do, how could he not love me?"

After saying that, she started sobbing again.

Seeing her so confused, Li Shuchen didn't indulge her and said coldly, "When you're hot, does he buy you ice to cool you down? When you're cold, does he buy you clothes to keep you warm? When you're hungry, does he take you out for a meal? When you're thirsty, does he buy you water to drink? Has he done any of these things?"

The young girl was stunned for ten seconds by Li Shuchen's outburst, then gently shook her head and began to sob.

Li Shuchen took a breath and said gently, "Girl, to see if someone is good to you and loves you, you can't just listen to what they say. Anyone can talk, and it doesn't cost anything. You have to see if they can take action for you and if they are willing to give you what is precious to them."

The proprietress also chimed in, "Yes, my dear daughter, didn't you say you liked the poems of rich girls the most?"

The proprietress took a piece of paper out of her pocket and handed it to the young girl.

"Look, this is a poem she wrote."

Li Shuchen frowned as he stared at the paper. So the landlady had kept it secret and it hadn't been circulated.

The little girl took the paper and read it softly.

There are always heartless men in the world.

"Honeyed words and a hidden agenda are truly annoying."

"Deceiving hearts, bodies, and money"

"Only for my own bright future"

"Girl, open your eyes wide and look!"

"See if he is sincere."

Don't take things lightly.

"It depends on scarcity; we're willing to give."

If a mistake has already been made

"Turning back in time is the right thing to do."

"There are plenty of beautiful women everywhere under the sun."

Why cling to something so mediocre?

Spectator A: "Yes, the rich girl is right, most men in the world are fickle."

Spectator C: "They deceive men of their hearts, bodies, and money. The rich girl's statement is spot on. You can't trust men blindly."

Spectator B: "I need to write this down and tell my daughter to be careful of men outside."

Now that the little girl had finished reading, the news had truly spread.

After listening, Li Shuchen said, "Look, your favorite rich girl said that you should correct your mistakes in time. You're still young, it's not too late."

The little girl touched her belly and said, "But what about him?"

The proprietress said, "My dear daughter, if you want it, we'll give birth to it. I can raise you, and I can raise him too. I'll raise him for you."

The little girl touched the landlady's weathered face and cried, "Mother, I already owe you enough, I can't be a burden to you anymore, I don't want this child."

The proprietress hugged the little girl tightly: "Okay, my dear daughter, if you don't want it, then you don't have to."

Young girl: "Mommy, I want to go home."

"Okay, okay, let's go home, let's go home."

The proprietress helped the little girl disappear into the crowd.

The crowd dispersed, and the road suddenly widened.

Princess Changning crossed her arms and looked in the direction the mother and daughter had left, saying, "Li Shuchen, your thoughts are somewhat similar to those of that rich girl."

Li Shuchen smiled helplessly: "Maybe it's because I don't trust men and don't want to get married."

Princess Changning took Li Shuchen's arm, saying, "I don't trust men either, and I won't marry."

Li Shuchen: "Let's go."

The group arrived at the two-hundred-acre farm.

As soon as Li Shuchen entered the manor gate, his eyes widened, and he quickly looked around. He had to keep his eyes wide open; there was simply not enough room to see everything.

Rows of houses lined up neatly in the middle of the manor, beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

The fields have also been divided and enclosed by fences, making them neat and clear.

There was also a grove of trees, their lush green leaves swaying in the wind.

"Wow, the estate in Changning is truly magnificent!"

Princess Changning smiled and said, "Let me show you the room."

Li Shuchen happily replied, "Great!"

The two of them rode in a carriage toward the house. Yes, you read that right, in a carriage, because the roads in the estate were wide enough for two carriages to pass each other, and they were all paved with bricks, with green plants on both sides.

That's so extravagant!

By comparison, her estate is like a mongrel.

The carriage traveled for quite a while before arriving at the house. Li Shuchen jumped off the carriage and followed Princess Changning into the house, taking in the sights and objects before him.

She had never seen the style of any of these items before, including the tables, chairs, benches, teacups, and tea bowls.

And this wall of ornaments, porcelain vases, all sorts of things, dazzled her.

Princess Changning sat down and said, "Li Shuchen, I never live here, so the things are a bit simple. Please bear with it."

Li Shuchen was stunned. This was considered rudimentary? What was her estate then? A latrine?

Jade: "Princess, the meal is ready. Shall we eat?"

Princess Changning: "Serve the meal."

The dishes were brought in one after another and placed in front of Li Shuchen. Although they were all home-style dishes, they were brightly colored and fragrant. Li Shuchen's mouth watered just looking at them.

Princess Changning: "Li Shuchen, the estate is not like the city, and the food is rather simple and rough. Please try it and see if it suits your taste. If not, I will have them redo it."

Li Shuchen nodded, raised his cup, and took a sip of tea. Mmm, fragrant and pleasant.

Take another bite with your chopsticks, mmm~, so satisfying and delicious!

Then he gave a thumbs up and said, "Delicious, Changning! I love these dishes so much! You should try some too!"
