Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 140 The Heartbroken Shen Lerong

Su Yue changed into a more understated outfit. Qiao Yun found a cap for Su Yue to wear and waited in the backyard for a while before two people who looked even more disheveled than her ran back.

After the two of them finished getting ready, the three of them no longer dared to swagger past in front of them.

Only by going through the back door and navigating two alleys did we finally arrive at No. 130 Gongchen Street.

Upon entering the shop, the three of them nearly choked to death on the dust.

The entire shop was covered in a thick layer of dust, and the tables and chairs were all askew.

The shop was a small two-story building, but Su Yue lost interest in looking at it because of the dust and lack of interest.

"Let's go back. Have someone clean up this place first, and then have Lu Liang come and renovate it," Su Yue instructed as they walked.

"Okay, don't worry!" Shen Lerong followed behind Su Yue, making plans.

On the way back, no one surrounded her, and Su Yue was in the mood to look around.

Upon closer inspection, Su Yue noticed many dirty children begging on the street.

It's normal for there to be beggars, but there are just too many of them!

There are about forty or fifty beggars on one street.

Once back at the Star-Picking Tower, Su Yue began to think about how Mu Yuqing had given her a manor in the suburbs last time.

Why not send these beggars to cultivate the land? We haven't sent anyone to take over that estate yet.

Once Su Yue hands this matter over to Chun Tao, Chun Tao is now capable of handling it on her own.

After explaining everything, Su Yue resumed her cultivation.

She felt the spiritual energy within her body increasing rapidly, as if she was about to break through.

Two more days passed during this period of cultivation.

When Su Yue came downstairs, she looked refreshed and full of energy.

However, when she arrived in the backyard, her gaze swept across the yard.

They saw Shen Lerong sitting quietly on the newly erected swing set, her eyes staring straight ahead as if she were in a daze.

Meanwhile, the other maids were busy in the vegetable garden.

Qiaoxia bent down to carefully remove the weeds, while Qiaoxiang diligently watered the seedlings.

As for Dali, he went to play at the shops on Gongchen Street early in the morning.

Seeing this, Su Yue first tiptoed to Qiao Xiang's side, who was watering the plants.

She didn't make a sound, but quietly stretched out her finger and gently pointed in the direction where Shen Lerong was.

Qiaoxiang was very clever and immediately understood Su Yue's meaning.

She turned her head slightly and said to Su Yue in a low voice, "Miss Shen has been like this for two whole days. Nobody knows what's wrong with her. We've asked her, but she won't say a word."

Hearing this, Su Yue frowned and muttered to herself, "Huh, what's going on? Could it be... a breakup?"

Although her voice was soft, Qiaoxiang, who was standing next to her, heard it clearly.

"Huh? What does it mean to be heartbroken?" Qiaoxiang asked, blinking her big eyes as she approached Su Yue with a puzzled look on her face.

Su Yue rolled her eyes, thinking to herself that this girl usually never leaves the house, so how could she know anything about love and romance?

So he patiently explained, "It just means the person you like doesn't like you back, or the two of you broke up."

Qiaoxiang nodded as if she understood, then tilted her head and tried to recall for a while. Finally, she shook her head and said, "I don't think I've seen anyone getting particularly close to Miss Shen recently."

"Alright! I guess I asked for nothing. You're stuck in this little courtyard all day long, what could you possibly know?"

Su Yue sighed helplessly, stood up, dusted off her skirt, and walked straight toward Shen Lerong, who was still in a daze.

Qiaoxiang was about to scratch her head after Su Yue said that, but when she saw that her hands were wet, she gave up and continued watering the vegetable garden.

Su Yue plopped down on another swing set and poked Shen Lerong with her finger.

However, Shen Lerong was so engrossed in her thoughts that she was startled and jumped up.

Then she turned around and found Su Yue staring straight at her.

"Um... um... I was just thinking about something!" Shen Lerong stammered and explained in a low voice.

"I heard you've been quite absent-minded these past two days. What's wrong? Don't keep it all bottled up inside. Tell me about it, maybe I can give you some advice!" Su Yue finally couldn't suppress her concern and asked the question directly.

After all, Shen Lerong can now be considered one of our own.

If she continues to be so restless and depressed, she might actually develop depression one day due to excessive worry.

Upon hearing Su Yue's question, Shen Lerong slowly raised her head, glanced at Su Yue with a somewhat evasive look, and then silently sat back down on the swing set beside her.

Her hands were constantly rubbing together, as if she were going through a fierce struggle and hesitation.

After a long while, she finally seemed to have made up her mind, and gently opened her lips to say, "I...I think I saw my father."

"Ah? You saw your father? That's such a wonderful thing! Why are you still looking so gloomy?" Su Yue looked at Shen Lerong with a puzzled expression, finding it hard to understand her reaction.

You see, Shen Lerong really missed her father and mother, but she was still a little angry that her father hadn't opened the city gate for her that day.

Now that he has finally seen his father, he should be overjoyed, so why does he look so dejected?

Faced with Su Yue's question, Shen Lerong lowered her head slightly and explained with a choked voice.

"I was thinking of running over to my father immediately to ask him why he wouldn't open the city gate for me, and also to find out how my mother was doing."

However, I never saw him again after that day.

So... so I'm not sure now whether I misjudged someone or just saw things that day.

As she spoke, Shen Lerong's eyes gradually reddened, and tears welled up in her eyes, about to roll down her cheeks.

"What's the big deal? Go back to that place in the next couple of days and take a look. Sitting here like this, you're not going to get any people! You're really stupid!"

As Su Yue spoke, she reached out and flicked Shen Lerong's head lightly, making a crisp "thud" sound.

Shen Lerong was stunned by the sudden attack, but she quickly recovered.

He quickly reached out to cover the spot where he had just been hit, but his face showed no sign of anger.

Yes! I miss them terribly, and instead of sitting here grieving and worrying, I should go out and look for them again.

Thinking of this, a flash of excitement appeared in Shen Lerong's eyes. She quickly stood up and ran out with her light little legs.

Watching Shen Lerong's departing figure, Su Yue couldn't help but shake her head and laugh helplessly, "That girl, she changes her expression so quickly! Just a moment ago she looked half dead, and now she's running faster than a rabbit!"

After saying that, she leisurely continued to swing on the swing set.

After a while, Su Yue got up and walked to the fruit tree in the courtyard.

Just as Su Yue was concentrating on watering the fruit trees, she suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps approaching from afar.

She subconsciously looked up and saw Shen Lerong running back, her face streaked with tears.
