Chapter 24 Old-fashioned novels love to write nonsense
Chu Jiang angrily withdrew his gaze: "It's nothing!"

However, there was a hint of gritted teeth in his tone, as if he was taking his anger out on someone.

Just as he picked up his chopsticks to eat, the little girl seemed to suddenly remember something: "Oh dear! I forgot! Young master, you eat first, I'll be right back!"

After saying that, without waiting for the man's reaction, she turned and ran out, her figure as light as a gust of wind.

Liu Ying, who was in the shadows, watched the whole process with a furrowed brow, still unable to discern anything special.

But a little while later, the little girl who had just run off came back: "I almost forgot, I made some fresh chicken soup today."

Her smile was radiant, and her eyes were as bright as a galaxy.

Qin Su smiled and walked towards the man, but after taking only two steps, a system notification sounded in her mind:

[Congratulations, host, for successfully surviving one hour alongside the tyrant. Reward: Intermediate Embroidery Skill: Flowers bloom with delicate fingers, birds grow feathers with golden needles.]

She paused for a moment, then walked casually to the man's side.

Chu Jiang finally got to eat the chicken soup he had been craving for so long, and a glint of light flashed in his bright black eyes.

To be honest, Qin Su's chicken soup was really just chicken soup made with minimal other ingredients. It wasn't as fragrant and rich as the soups prepared by professional chefs, but just as she said, it made you feel inexplicably comfortable after drinking it.

The bowl of chicken soup, glistening with specks of oil, was quickly emptied.

Chu Jiang subconsciously wanted to drink a second bowl, but the little girl stopped him: "No, you still need to eat. Eat first, then drink."

His face instantly darkened, his eyes becoming stern and sinister, making him look quite terrifying.

Liu Ying had a good angle and saw his expression perfectly. He stiffened as if he sensed an invisible killing intent.

I can't stand that look!

But the young girl in front of him seemed to have gone "blind" once again, unable to sense how terrifying the man in front of her was, and even dared to urge him: "Young master, eat your food, try it and see if you like it."

Chu Jiang finally withdrew his gaze, but just when everyone thought it was over, he suddenly said:
"You're so humble and ingratiating; you'd be quite suited to be a servant."

Liu Ying immediately looked at Qin Su. Could any girl from a respectable family withstand such humiliation?
The Seventh Prince's mouth is really...

Qin Su was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head slightly, looking somewhat disappointed and pitiful.

Just when the system thought the host was going to fake crying to gain sympathy, it heard her mutter softly:
"My life is worse than that of a servant."

Chu Jiang paused in his chopsticks, snorted coldly, but surprisingly, he didn't say anything hurtful again.

The dining atmosphere was relatively quiet, but on the other side, the chefs in the kitchen were waiting anxiously, fearing that today might be the last day they would see the sun.

Fortunately, by the afternoon, their master had not imposed any further punishment, and they inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, while becoming even more curious about what had happened.

Qin Su brought the dishes back and immediately put them in the dishwasher to wash.

Points are like money; if you like spending them, why should you save them?
She didn't rest in the afternoon either. She found the original owner's sewing basket in the room, moved a small stool to the doorway, and began to study split-thread embroidery.

The system's daily check-in rewards weren't just for show; the original owner's exquisite embroidery skills were an important prop in the original story, even having some connection to the "Crown Prince."

If Qin Su wants to play the role of "Qin Sangsang" well, learning embroidery is essential.

Besides that, she also had other plans for "embroidery".

Qin Su attended a prestigious private school. Because she was unsure what kind of doctor she wanted to become, she specifically chose to take a handicraft class to improve her practical skills. Modern needlework was naturally not as refined as in ancient times, but she had some experience. With the help of system rewards and the original owner's muscle memory, she gradually improved, much like her cooking skills, from novice to expert, eventually reaching a high level of proficiency.

Watching the delicate peony slowly being embroidered by her own hands, Qin Su couldn't help but complain:

"Old-fashioned novels are just nonsense. How precious are the hands of an embroiderer? Yet the author makes her do housework and cook, and she's constantly being abused. And yet the author writes that the female lead has top-notch embroidery skills? Is it even possible that with such fine embroidery, rough fingers would snag the threads?"

System: [So the original author added a patch saying that the original owner encountered a powerful wandering Taoist priest who gave her a recipe for moisturizing and protecting her hands?]

Qin Su scoffed. To be honest, he did bear a striking resemblance to that tyrant next door who was always snorting at people.
-
Perhaps because he was in a good mood after eating, Chu Jiang actually took a nap for a while, which was quite rare.

However, this good mood completely disappeared shortly after waking up.

"His Majesty has decreed that if His Highness the Seventh Prince is in a good mood, he is requested to come to the palace."

Seeing the fearful and restrained expression on the eunuch's face, Chu Jiang's lips curled into a cold, bloodthirsty smile:

"I'm finally able to go out, so naturally I'm in a good mood."

As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at the eunuch's fair neck, and saw the young eunuch's legs buckle and he immediately kneel down before him.

"Your Highness, please spare my life! Please spare my life! This servant was only here on orders, please spare my life..."

However, after pleading for a long time, he didn't hear a sound from above. He quietly looked up and found that the person had left sometime earlier, and he could only see that arrogant and flamboyant back from here.

The little eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, slumped on the ground in that position, and quietly wiped away his sweat.

Seeing this from the shadows, Liu Ying couldn't help but show a look of disgust:

Those without roots are cowards, not even as good as the girl next door!

As the bodyguard responsible for His Highness's safety within the palace, he was not assigned to any missions outside.

With a rare moment of ease, Liu Ying leaped down from the tree, a relaxed expression on her face.

So, I wish my colleagues a happy mood.

To my blessed colleagues: Would you like this good fortune?
In the evening, Qin Su carried the prepared dinner to the tyrant's courtyard again.

Without a doubt, the man has not returned.

She had already known this through the system's notification, but it didn't affect her food delivery.

Qin Su's self-image is simple: "A kind and optimistic little white flower who suffers all kinds of bullying." Naturally, she will complete the tasks she takes on seriously and responsibly, and she will never slack off.

So after calling out a few times without hearing a response from the tyrant, she was somewhat "surprised," but still placed the food box at the man's door and left, looking back every few steps.

[Host, something terrible has happened! The female supporting character has been released!]

Qin Su, who had just crawled out of the dog hole, heard the system say this. She froze, and her lips twitched:
"I almost thought you were targeting me."

Judging from her action of crawling through the dog hole, it's really hard to say who will be "released".

System sternly: [Host, you're not joking! Qin Wanrou has really been released! She'll be coming to cause you trouble soon!]
