When Qin Su first saw this introduction, she didn't have much of a concept of it.

Even after the meal was ready, Aunt Xu, who had been furious just moments before, came out of her room early and waited at the table.

She: This is getting interesting.

"You dawdle and are so inefficient! Who would want you in the future?"

While scolding Qin Su, Aunt Xu eagerly reached for some food, then froze:
"Why are all the dishes vegetarian? Where's the meat?"

Qin Su: "My mother just said that we'll be vegetarian starting today, so I..."

"So you're not going to do it? Are you stupid?!"

"If Mother doesn't want to eat, I've boiled two eggs in the kitchen, you can..."

"Who said I'm not eating? I'm just teaching you not to be so rigid and inflexible!"

The food smelled so good that Aunt Xu couldn't bring herself to say "Who cares to eat this?" and the chopsticks she had raised eventually fell onto the plate.

Qin Su remained calm and did not say anything more.

The meal was eaten quickly, and by the end the plates were all emptied, but Aunt Xu was still not satisfied.

However, that didn't stop her from belittling her daughter: "You don't taste good at all, and you don't even know how to use your brain. What's the use of having you!"

She rubbed her stomach and was about to go back to her room to sleep.

Qin Su sighed slowly:

"It's my fault for cooking so many dishes, which ruined my mother's hard-earned diet."

Aunt Xu paused for a moment.

"But it's okay. I've heard that women gain weight during pregnancy. In 10 months, Mother will still have a chance to lose weight."

As soon as she finished speaking, she was about to get up and clear the dishes, but before her hand could even touch them, a hand suddenly appeared and snatched them away.

The woman's voice rang out through gritted teeth: "I... will do it!"

Qin Su looked up in surprise: "Isn't this inappropriate? How can I let you wash me, Mother..."

"What's wrong with that! I'll wash it, I'll wash it!"

Aunt Xu spoke fiercely, as if the dishes she was clearing away weren't bowls, but the child in her belly.

Qin Su had no choice but to withdraw her hand and stand there like a quail, letting her mother take the initiative.

Inside the room, Liu Ying was bowing her head and being scolded.

The lavish meal that had just been laid out on the table had all been cleared away. The servant who delivered the food was so frightened that he almost wet himself at the door.

This gentleman's picky eating habits could drive the entire kitchen crazy, to the point that even the head chef from the imperial kitchen couldn't save him.

If you're this picky, you might starve to death...

As he was muttering to himself, a sudden female voice rang in his ears: "Young master, are you there?"

The people in the room fell silent at the same time. After a moment of surprise, Chu Jiang gave them a look, and Liu Ying flew away and hid.

Only after he hid did he realize something was wrong:

No, why should I hide? Shouldn't the Seventh Prince kill such an intruder on the spot, given his usual practice?

And how did she get in... oh, that damned dog hole? We were supposed to block it up, but for some reason the Seventh Prince scolded me. Because we couldn't figure out what he was thinking, we didn't block it.

No, even if there was no obstruction, a normal person shouldn't be choked like that a second time, right?

Are you out of your mind?
"Get in!"

At that cold shout, the people outside seemed to fall silent for a moment. After a while, the door was slowly pushed open, and a slender and beautiful figure appeared in the doorway.

"Young master, this is some chicken soup I made. If you don't mind, you can have a taste."

The girl spoke softly, her voice as sweet and melodious as I remembered, making me want to keep listening.

Chu Jiang stared at her with a deep, ruthless gaze, as if she were looking at a dead object.

Before Qin Su entered, she had already spent points to redeem the "Poor Little Halo," amplifying her pitiful and lovable aura in the eyes of others.

He felt a sense of pity and sympathy for her, lowered his guard, and allowed her to get close.

Even so, the tyrant's gaze was terrifying enough.

"What's your purpose?"

Chu Jiang didn't kill anyone directly as Liu Ying had expected, but his words weren't gentle or kind either.

The little girl shook her head: "No, I just... well, actually I had an ulterior motive."

She changed her words for some reason, her tone filled with helplessness, which instantly sharpened the eyes of the man on the opposite bed.

In the shadows, Liu Ying also gripped the longsword at her waist, waiting for her to speak—

"A new rule has been issued at home that no meat or fish are allowed, but my chicken soup was just cooked. It simmered for a full four hours, until the meat was tender and the flavor was incredibly delicious. It would be such a waste to just throw it away, so I don't want to waste it..."

The little girl lowered her head further as she spoke, seemingly radiating a deep sadness: "I spent a full 150 coins on this, I really don't want to throw it away..."

But the next moment, this pitiful tone was interrupted by the man's sudden outburst: "You think you can just give it to me if you don't want to waste it? Do you think I'm a dog?"

She was startled and hurriedly shook her head: "No, I didn't! I just wanted you to try it, you're the only person I know..."

She spoke so pitifully that her voice sounded even more pleasant.

But this didn't elicit any sympathy from the man; instead, she received only a disdainful sneer: "Take it and get lost!"

The little girl stood still and gently persuaded, "It's really delicious. I just brewed it and haven't given it to anyone else, so I'm giving it to you. Please try it."

"Whenever I feel unwell, a bowl of chicken soup makes me happy. It's my specialty."

As she spoke, her eyes sparkled as she looked at him, tender and expectant.

Liu Ying couldn't see Qin Su's expression from above, but she was already stunned by her words.

This is the first time I've ever seen someone dare to treat the Seventh Prince like a child. Does she have a death wish?

No, what's even more shocking is that the Seventh Prince wasn't angry at all!
Seeing that the tyrant didn't speak, Qin Su boldly lifted the lid.

The next moment, the rich aroma of chicken soup filled the room, and Chu Jiang subconsciously raised his hand to press his stomach.

Qin Su didn't see it and carefully poured a bowl: "The chicken soup has been sitting for a while, it's perfect to drink now, it won't taste as good when it's cold."

Chu Jiang said in a deep voice, "Get out!"

When he looked up, his gaze fell on the girl's exposed wrist, where a bluish-purple ring stood out against her snow-white skin.

The angry man suddenly fell silent. Qin Su looked down in confusion, following his gaze, and saw the injury on her hand.

She instinctively hid her hands behind her back and gave him a pitiful smile:
"It's okay, it's just a minor injury, I'm used to it, it'll be fine in a couple of days."

A short sentence, yet it tells a story of so much hardship.
