For two consecutive days, Zhuang Ruoyun was running around outside.
On that day, she came back from outside the city, but was blocked by a person who looked like a guard.
"Miss Zhuang, our master is welcome."
Zhuang Ruoyun looked at him and nodded calmly: "Please lead the way."
The guard led Zhuang Ruoyun to a quiet and elegant restaurant.
Maybe everyone has taken it down here, but Zhuang Ruoyun has not seen any other guests along the way.
After entering the private room, a tall figure standing in front of the window with her back facing her, turned around when she heard the sound.
The eldest prince Gu Zixiao was wearing white casual clothes and a purple gold crown on his head.
He is both arrogant and calm.
"Hello, Your Highness." Zhuang Ruoyun saluted.
The eldest prince raised his hand and signaled the guards to retreat first, leaving only the two of them in the room.

There are a wide variety of delicacies on the table, filled with fragrance.
"You sit down. I've been working hard these days and I've sold shops everywhere. I probably haven't had a good meal." After saying that, the eldest prince sat down first.
Zhuang Ruoyun hesitated for a few moments, but in the end he did not refuse, and sat opposite him.
She ate a few bites of the dishes openly and drank another bowl of soup.
As the eldest prince said, she has been very hungry these days.
Every day, I negotiated the price of the shop with people everywhere outside. After I got home, I didn’t even leave her the hot meals in the Zhuang Mansion.
Seeing her moving her chopsticks, the eldest prince pursed a faint smile with thin lips.
"Eat this is their famous dish." The eldest prince took the initiative to pick up a chopstick of chicken and put it in Zhuang Ruoyun's bowl.
He didn't eat a bite, but instead looked at her intently.
Zhuang Ruoyun had no intention of eating anymore and silently put down his chopsticks.
Seeing this, the eldest prince always had a faint gentleness between his eyebrows.
He said, "You have been to Beijing outside the past two days. Do you want to sell the shop to merchants outside the Beijing?"
"Yes." Zhuang Ruoyun was not surprised why he knew everything.
Gu Zixiao is the ruler of the future Daqi, the monarch of the empire, and his power must be spread throughout every piece of Daqi land.
The eldest prince said calmly: "But as far as I know, the prices given by merchants outside are too low."
"I entrusted my second brother to make a deal with you through a Yide business under his name. Why don't you want to?"
"Is it because the price is not high, or-"
The eldest prince paused for a moment, his eyes deep: "You know I'm helping, and I don't want to be involved in any relationship with me."
Zhuang Ruoyun raised his eyes and faced him with all his eyes.
The eldest prince is the crown prince trained by Gu Yihan himself. He has always been indifferent to his emotions.
However, now, there was a strong desire in his eyes.
He longs to understand why Zhuang Ruoyun refused.
Zhuang Ruoyun took a deep breath.
"Your Highness, since you know I'm raising money, you must have known the reason."
"Thirty thousand taels, I was the one who helped Lord Zhuang make up for the corruption."
She lowered her head and her voice fell down: "It's not right or bad, because he embezzled money, but I help such a person."
"So, I know your kindness, but I can't accept it."
Gu Zixiao's eyes were deep: "From my understanding of you, you have a clear distinction between good and evil, so you should not help him."
"But this time you came back, you promised to make up for the corruption and sell all the shops."
"Ruoyun, those are your hard work, I believe you will not do this unless you have to."
"Tell me, is it because the dealer forced you to agree?"
