Chapter 255 Becoming a Wife
With the emperor's decree, Shen Yunrou moved out of the Jiang residence with ease.
"Princess Shen, what are your plans for the future?" Upon learning that Shen Yunrou had moved to the Princess's residence, Xiao Yi immediately went to visit her.
"Thank you for your help, Seventh Prince!" Shen Yunrou bowed first to express her gratitude, and then said, "It should be like my father's situation. I plan to try finding a shop first!"
Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow. "I do know a good shop, it's on West Street, there's a lot of foot traffic there."
"It's just a small matter, no need for the Seventh Prince to worry about it. Yunrou already has a shop she likes!"
After the incident at the Jiang residence, Shen Yunrou finally became more wary of others, especially since the Seventh Prince was a member of the royal family.
Shen Yunrou didn't consider herself to be that cunning, so she didn't want to get too close to the royal family. Of course, offering the prescription was something she had to do out of necessity.
Xiao Yi was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, but he had long known that Shen Yunrou was a woman who did not like to rely on others, so he didn't think much of it.
Later, Shen Yunrou indeed went to check out the shop she had her eye on. Now that she was out of the Jiang residence, she immediately decided to rent the shop.
However, the shopkeeper looked troubled. "Your Highness, this shop has just been reserved by a young master, but he hasn't had time to pay the deposit yet."
Shen Yunrou was a little disappointed. How come the shop she had her eye on was snatched up by someone else?
Well, Shen Yunrou thought to herself that it was good that she still had a backup option.
Just then, a young man suddenly appeared: "Princess, please wait!"
"you are?"
"My name is Xiao Yan!"
Upon hearing the name, Shen Yunrou frowned. The First Prince!
Could it be that the one who robbed her shop was the First Prince?
“Since the county princess likes this shop, then I can give it to her!” Xiao Yan said in a friendly manner.
"Well, never mind, I won't take what the young master loves!" Shen Yunrou turned to leave.
"It's just a shop, why not give it to the county princess!" Xiao Yan acted quickly, instructing his servants to give the money to the shopkeeper, and then immediately gave the shop's contract to Shen Yunrou.
Shen Yunrou had no choice but to thank the Crown Prince.
In the following days, no matter where Shen Yunrou went, people would bring her things.
He went to the jewelry store, and after just one glance at a hairpin, someone immediately delivered it to his residence.
Even if she ate an extra bite of pastry outside, someone would immediately deliver the pastry to her residence.
Not to mention other exotic flowers and rare herbs, and fine silks and satins.
"Miss, are these people chasing you?"
"Taohong, what are you thinking? Your young lady isn't some stunning beauty! All of this is because of the prescription I offered! They probably all think I have other prescriptions!"
For Shen Yunrou, these were not benefits, but deadly things!
Before she could even worry about how to resolve the matter, a servant announced that Uncle Jiang's family had arrived.
"Go and invite them in!" Shen Yunrou wanted to see what this family was up to.
She stepped into the hall, her skirt fluttering.
When Aunt Jiang saw her, she was taken aback at first, then said warmly, "Rou'er, you've become even more beautiful in just a few days!"
Aunt Jiang said this entirely because Shen Yunrou had put on the county princess's clothes, which were solemn and gorgeous, quite different from Shen Yunrou's usual attire.
The Jiang family was extremely envious of the huge mansion, Shen Yunrou's exquisite clothes, and the fiefdom!
“Aunt, you are mistaken. Haven’t I always been like this?” Shen Mingzhu said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Yes, yes, Rou'er, you've always been so beautiful!"
"Alright, Aunt, there's no need for further words. Tell me what your family is here for!"
"What kind of attitude is this!" Uncle Jiang's face darkened.
"This has always been my attitude. If you're not happy, you can leave!" Shen Yunrou had no intention of paying any attention to these people.
"you..."
"Alright, sir, please say no more. Rou'er, your uncle didn't mean anything by it. It's just that we're worried about you living alone in the county princess's mansion," Aunt Jiang said, trying to smooth things over.
Unfortunately, Shen Yunrou didn't care about smoothing things over.
“What do I have to worry about living alone? Look how big this mansion is, and how considerate His Majesty is. All the maids, servants, guards, and young men in my mansion are well taken care of. I can’t be more comfortable being served by so many people.”
Jiang's uncle's family was filled with jealousy upon hearing this, and upon seeing this, Jiang's aunt immediately explained their purpose.
"Rou'er, look at you, you're a county princess now, what about your marriage to your cousin?"
"Marriage? You don't still want me to be your concubine, do you?!"
If that's the case, Shen Yunrou will risk everything to file a complaint with the emperor.
"How could that be? Rou'er, you're a county princess now, of course you can't be a concubine. Your aunt's intention is for your cousin to marry you!"
"Things have changed so quickly!" Shen Yunrou glanced at her cousin.
Unexpectedly, he immediately stepped forward to try and take Shen Yunrou's hand, but Shen Yunrou dodged it.
The cousin wasn't angry. Instead, he said to Shen Yunrou with deep affection, "Cousin, I will definitely treat you well!"
Shen Yunrou was tired of hearing him say, "It's always about being good to her."
What do you take her for? One minute you want her to be your concubine, the next you want to marry her. Does the Jiang family get all the good things?
"I'm a county princess, my cousin's status isn't high enough to marry me!"
"That's enough, that's enough. As long as you're willing, your cousin can certainly marry you!" Aunt Jiang urged.
"Didn't my aunt say that I'm an orphan, and a merchant's daughter, so I can't marry my cousin and can only be his concubine? Now that I'm a county princess, can he marry me? What about my cousin's original fiancée?" Shen Yunrou retorted.
Aunt Jiang gave an awkward laugh: "It's not settled yet, so it doesn't count!"
"Yes, cousin, you know I've always liked you!"
Ugh, stop trying to disgust me!
"No, cousin, you should like someone else. I can't accept your affection! My aunt just said that you can only marry me if I'm willing!"
Jiang looked at Shen Yunrou expectantly after hearing this.
"What a coincidence! I don't want to do this! Cousin, you should marry someone else!"
"You, Rou'er, don't act impulsively. Your cousin admits that it was wrong of him to make you his concubine, but he had no other choice. You must understand him!"
Pah, understand my ass! Nobody understands her!
"If you don't understand even one point, cousin, you can forget about this dream. I never wanted to marry you before, but now I'm a county princess!"
"You, Shen Yunrou! You're nothing but a county princess. If you don't marry me, who else would come to marry you? Those people are only after your money. My cousin is the only one who truly loves you!"
Ugh, what a scumbag! He talks like he's not after her money, as if he has the nerve to pat himself on the back!
"I won't marry you! Get out!"
