"You want me to seduce the Crown Prince? Why are you crying now that I've entered the pala

Chapter 21 Deceiving the Tyrant Was Just Right
Chu Jiang concealed the coldness in his eyes and picked up some noodles with his chopsticks.

He was already prepared in his heart that if, as before, she would vomit as soon as she entered his mouth, he would definitely kill her.

With such malicious intent, he took his first bite of noodles.

Instantly, the savory aroma of the noodles exploded in my mouth, and the fragrance that spread to my nose whetted my appetite.

The noodles were springy and chewy, and the broth was rich yet refreshing—this flavor...

He stood there, chopsticks in hand, stunned, while Liu Ying, watching from the tree, felt her heart pounding in her chest.

"What's wrong? Is it not to your liking?"

A girl's clear, spring-like voice rang in my ears, tinged with a hint of nervousness.

Just when I thought he was going to get angry and flip the table, he picked it up a second time.

Then she ate faster and faster, at a very fast pace, yet her movements remained elegant.

In no time, the bowl of noodles was empty.

Up in the tree, Liu Ying, who had witnessed everything, was almost stunned into silence:
No way? He ate it?
Did he really eat it?
In that instant, Liu Ying looked at Qin Su as if he were looking at a strange monster.

So many chefs tried their best but couldn't coax him to eat more, yet she casually made him finish a bowl of noodles?
No, why?

Qin Su had no idea how much shock her bowl of noodles had caused the guards. Her eyes shone as she looked at Chu Jiang:
"Is this enough? Would you like some more?"

His stomach, which hadn't eaten for a long time, was warmed by the food. After eating a bowl of noodles, which wasn't too much, he didn't feel better; instead, it stimulated his appetite.

Chu Jiang felt hunger again after a long time.

He even felt so hungry that he could eat a whole cow.

However, he shook his head and demurely wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief.

His proud nature meant he would rather starve to death than admit it.

Inside the room, Aunt Xu had already heard the commotion outside and was eager to ask who was there.

But remembering her daughter's instructions, she forced herself to hold back.

"wait for me a while!"

The girl suddenly got up and ran to the kitchen.

As soon as she left, the man who had just been so noble and reserved couldn't help but raise his hand to press his stomach.

I’m so hungry!
He's still not full!
[Host, the male lead clearly still wants to eat, why don't you cook some?] the system couldn't help but ask.

Qin Su: "He's been hungry for too long, so he can't eat too much at once. The best thing is for him to eat small meals frequently."

She continued talking without stopping her hands.

Just as Chu Jiang was getting impatient and preparing to leave, he heard light footsteps behind him. He looked up coldly and saw a young girl walking towards him carrying a tray.

"This is fruit tea that I made myself. Please try it, young master."

Chu Jiang glanced at it only once, his mocking gaze clearly indicating his rejection.

Qin Su seemed not to notice and actively persuaded, "It's really delicious, not too sweet, and perfect for drinking after a meal."

As she spoke, she eagerly pushed the teacup toward the man's hand again.

Her long, slender, jade-like fingers were so beautiful that even her ordinary teacup seemed ugly in comparison.

Chu Jiang didn't want to drink it, but the sweet aroma wafted to his nose, arousing his already lingering appetite.

He picked up the teacup with a look of disgust, as if he was being pestered by her so much that he reluctantly took a sip.

And then, unsurprisingly, I succumbed.

"What kind of tea is this?"

The sweet aroma of fruit mingled with the fragrance of tea, a flavor he had never tasted before.

Qin Su: "It's a fruit tea I made myself, with peach and oolong tea..."

Only Qin Su and the system knew that this thing was pronounced "fruit tea" and written as "antidepressant drink." It was a fruit-flavored medicine specially designed by the system for patients who refused to take medication.

It works the same way as the fruit-flavored medicines used to trick children.

And this is just the right amount of trick to fool a tyrant who has no experience!

"This recipe was given to me by a wandering Taoist priest. I tried modifying it myself, and it can soothe the stomach if eaten after meals."

The girl spoke with a smile, as if no matter when you saw her, she would always have this optimistic and warm demeanor.

Although Chu Jiang did not answer her whether it tasted good or not, he sipped the tea one sip after another until the cup was empty.

He still wants to drink!
But he still put down his teacup, got up, and prepared to leave.

"Young master, please don't be anxious!"

Seeing that he was about to leave, Qin Su quickly handed him the things in her arms: "This is tea. I made a lot, so please take it and try it!"

She was holding up a ceramic jar, and you could almost smell a faint fragrance, very similar to the tea she had just drunk.

However, the man only glanced at it before looking away, his expression as cold as ever: "I don't want to."

Liu Ying nodded, unsurprised, and muttered to herself in a voice she could hear:

"It's no use. He won't take it unless you kneel down and beg him."

"Please take this, young master. Otherwise, I really don't know how to thank you. Please consider this my request."

Liu Ying: "..."

Chu Jiang: "..."

Finally, the man left, carrying with him a small earthenware jar that didn't suit his character.

Or to put it another way, what was clearly an ordinary, even somewhat rustic, earthenware jar seemed to instantly become more sophisticated the moment he picked it up.

Until the person flew over the wall with a "whoosh" like Buddha, the long-suffering system could finally go berserk:
[Aaaaaaah! Host, you really... I'm going to cry! You actually got the male lead to take the medicine willingly! This is simply impossible! You're so amazing!]

Compared to the system's excitement, Qin Su was much calmer. She had already tidied up the table and headed to the kitchen.

She can do the dishes this afternoon; she has something more important to do right now.

Just as Qin Su came out of the kitchen and was about to go back to her room, a heart-wrenching cough suddenly came from Aunt Xu's room.

To be honest, at first glance, you really thought she was about to die from that voice.

Qin Su knew that it was a woman calling her.

She was busy and didn't really want to go in, but...

She glanced furtively in a certain direction, then nervously ran towards the room:

"Mother, what's wrong? Are you alright?"

"boom--"

The door was pushed open and then slammed shut, completely cutting off any possible prying eyes from the outside.

On the bed, Aunt Xu, having overdone her act, actually felt a little nauseous.

Seeing Qin Su enter, she coughed until tears welled up in her eyes, but still couldn't help but ask, "Who was that outside just now? Who were you talking to?"

Qin Su's tense expression had disappeared, and she walked towards the woman unhurriedly: "What do you mean, 'who'? Mother, did you hear me wrong?"

“I couldn’t have misheard! There was a man talking to you just now. Who was it? Was it the heir of the Duke of Jingguo who has returned? Did he come to see you…”

"not him!"

Qin Su pulled her hand back abruptly, her expression unusually impatient.

Hearing this person's name made her feel suffocated and uncomfortable, which dampened her previously good mood due to the progress of the mission.

"Not him? Then who is it?" Aunt Xu was dumbfounded, unable to think of anyone other than the heir of the Duke of Jingguo who would come to see her daughter.
