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

Chapter 43 She was about to go out, and the tyrant got angry again.
Qin Su subconsciously backed away, her face showing obvious resistance.

Chu Jiang narrowed his eyes: "Dare to hide from this prince?" He made a move to grab her.

She hurriedly took a step back, covered her mouth, blinked her clean and pretty eyes, and said in a slightly aggrieved voice, "You still haven't told me what kind of medicine this is."

Ye Fan, who was about to ask for an audience at the door, paused in his tracks upon hearing this sweet, delicate voice, and suddenly found himself unable to move.

His intuition told him that now was not the right time to go in.

Chu Jiang said viciously, "Poison! I'm going to poison you to death."

I heard that His Highness specifically instructed Ye Fan, who was working all night in the kitchen: ...

He turned around, deciding to wait until His Highness had had enough fun before returning.

The system's mind raced with excitement: [It's the prescription the imperial physician gave the host yesterday! Hey, the tyrant's actually quite nice! No, I should say he's quite nice to you, host.]

Qin Su glanced at the dark-colored medicine, then looked at the man with a malicious expression, and whispered, "Can I not drink it?"

Chu Jiang: "If you're not going to drink, then get out!"

Her eyes lit up: "Then I'll be going now!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

He had only taken two steps when a man's sinister voice came from behind him: "If you dare to step out of the door even half a step, I'll make you drink a whole pot of poison."

Qin Su froze, turning back with a pitiful look in her eyes, as if trying to gain the man's sympathy.

System: [I thought he was going to break the host's legs, but instead he wants you to drink a pot of medicine? Truly a tyrant, his thought process is just different from normal people.]

Qin Su: "If you talk so much, why don't you go and perform crosstalk?"

In the end, Qin Su sat back down.

When Chu Jiang saw the little girl reluctantly but obediently drink the medicine, her face scrunched up in a grimace, he felt a rare moment of relief.

As a result, lunch seemed to taste even better than usual.

Qin Su finished the medicine with her eyes closed. Although most of what she showed was an act, a small part of it was real—it was just too bitter!
She even suspected that the tyrant had secretly put bitter herbs in her medicine to torment her.

The thought only flashed through her mind for a moment. When she looked up at Chu Jiang again, her eyes had become gentle and filled with pity.

Chu Jiang, who thought she would be angry, met her gaze and said, "What kind of look is that? If you don't want your eyes, you can gouge them out."

Before he could finish his sentence, the girl spoke gently, "The medicine is really bitter. Is it like this for you all the time?"

Chu Jiang ignored her.

What medicine isn't bitter?
The little girl didn't say anything more, her head down, seemingly lost in thought.

Chu Jiang ate quickly, his movements refined yet elegant, clearly showing his good upbringing—a stark contrast to his tyrannical image.

When he was almost finished eating, Qin Su finally spoke up: "I have something to do tomorrow, so I can probably only cook lunch in the afternoon."

Chu Jiang's mood, which had just improved, darkened again because of this sentence: "What is it?"

That question was asked so matter-of-factly, as if the person asked it to be someone they considered an outsider.

Qin Su opened her mouth, then lowered her head again: "It's nothing, it's just..."

Hearing her hesitate and evasive again, Chu Jiang grew increasingly irritable. Just before he was about to explode in anger, he finally heard the little girl's reply:
"My stepmother asked me to deliver the embroidery every three days. Tomorrow is the third day. I have to go to the main courtyard and I don't know when I will be back. I'm afraid I will delay your meal."

She kept her head down until she finished speaking, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

Chu Jiang found that the feeling of resentment that made him feel had returned, though it was somewhat different from the irritability he experienced during his previous episodes.

It's just a random feeling of irritation, like wanting to beat up a few people to vent your frustration.

"It's just a meal. Do you really think I can't eat without you?"

The man spoke arrogantly, his words as hurtful as ever: "If you want to go, then go. There's no need for this pretense."

Qin Su lowered her head and said, "I understand."

Seeing her like this, Chu Jiang became even angrier for some reason, and slammed down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand: "Get out! I'm not eating!"

This once again profoundly illustrates what it means to be "unpredictable and capricious."

Liu Ying heard the noise outside and really wanted to go in and see.

Unfortunately, His Highness dislikes having his bodyguards nearby, so most of the time they have to stay outside.

After a while, the door opened, and the girl's slender figure appeared behind it.

"Miss Qin, please wait."

Qin Su paused, looked up at the handsome young man who had stopped her, and asked in her eyes.
Ye Fan smiled and asked, "May I ask what happened just now, young lady? Is His Highness angry?"

Qin Su breathed a sigh of relief: "It's nothing, just a small matter."

Then she added, "I don't know if the young master is angry."

Ye Fan said he listened, but didn't understand a single word.

He maintained his smile: "Could you please tell me what exactly happened, young lady?"

Then he added, "It's not that I have a problem with the young lady, it's just that Your Highness is of noble status, so... please forgive me."

Qin Su is known for her good temper, so she naturally wouldn't get angry. Since everyone had asked her politely, she naturally told the truth.

But after she finished speaking, the other person was even more confused: "Is His Highness angry because you can't deliver the food tomorrow, Miss?"

The last sentence was muttered to myself; I didn't dare say it aloud.

Trying to guess what the superiors want is a major taboo.

"I understand, thank you, young lady."

Qin Su smiled and said it was nothing, then picked up the food box and left.

Watching the girl's graceful figure, Ye Fan's expression was somewhat complicated.
-
"[It seems like it was the same last time. The tyrant got angry as soon as the host said he wouldn't deliver the food.]" The system whispered to Qin Su, trying to understand the tyrant's thoughts from the host.

Unfortunately, Qin Su did not intend to explain.

The progress has been a bit slow lately, and she needs to catch up.
-
"Your Highness, Miss Qin has already returned."

Ye Fan was on high alert as soon as he entered the room, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

The man in the room had a gloomy aura and a cold expression, completely different from when he was in front of the girl. This was the Seventh Prince they knew and feared.

It was his good-natured demeanor in front of Qin Su that shocked everyone.

The man didn't speak, but just one look from him sent chills down one's spine.
-
The next day arrived quickly. Just like last time, Qin Su ate breakfast before heading to the main courtyard in her high-tech vehicle.

Because it was targeted at her "once every three days," she didn't encounter Qin Wanrou this time.

This left Qin Su with a slight sense of regret, as her "treatment plan" had only been carried out once.

"Third Miss has arrived. Please come in. Madam and Granny Chen are waiting for you inside."

The servants in the main courtyard were too nice, giving the impression of a weasel paying respects to a chicken.

The original owner of this body would probably feel even more uncomfortable here.

After all, no one here had ever given her a kind look since she was a child.

"This is the third young lady of the manor, Qin Sangsang. Please give her your guidance, Granny." Madam Zhang sat in the main seat. There was another unfamiliar nanny in the room with a serious expression. She must be the needlework nanny invited from the palace.

Qin Su followed the original owner's quiet demeanor, bowed, and then stood aside, letting them look at her embroidery.

"The embroidery is indeed very good. For someone so young to have such skill, they must have worked very hard."

After looking at Qin Su's embroidery, the seamstress's expression softened considerably.

After praising him a few times, he asked Qin Su who his teacher was.

Qin Su answered truthfully, "I learned it from an aunt who used to live in the manor."

I do know a little about this stepmother. That aunt was a poor relative of Master Lai. She stayed for a year and then left.

Qin Sangsang and she were getting along very well, but even though she knew about it at the time, she didn't take it to heart.

Who knew that this brat was so skilled? In the blink of an eye, she learned a great skill right under her nose.

Thinking of this, Zhang forced a smile, revealing a disdainful and cold expression.

The needlework lady asked the other person's name again, and after discovering that she did not know him, she simply assumed that there were hidden masters among the common people and stopped worrying about it.

Next, she pointed out several shortcomings of Qin Su and began to correct them. Fearing that Qin Su would not understand, she even embroidered for her herself.

Their teaching attitude is indeed very serious.

Qin Su had the original owner's memories and the system's cheat code, so she gradually understood as she listened. She then personally embroidered a few stitches in front of the needlework lady and, as expected, received her praise.

But this made Zhang unhappy again.

Sending Qin Sangsang to learn embroidery from the needlework master was originally a purposeful expedient, but seeing how intelligent the little girl was and how quickly she grasped the concepts, the fire in her heart was reignited.

So when the needlework nanny suggested that she could take Qin Su with her for a while and let her follow along to give her some proper guidance...

Zhang simply lowered her head and drank her tea, without responding to any words.

Today, the servant was Granny Liu, who immediately saw through her mistress's thoughts and said with a smile, "In principle, you shouldn't refuse someone who is so earnest, but my third young lady is usually busy with other things and probably doesn't have much time to accompany you. So, like today, giving guidance every three days is fine."

Granny Chen hesitated for a moment. Although it was their first meeting, Qin Su's exquisite embroidery skills surprised her. What surprised her even more was that the little girl grasped things so quickly and had unlimited potential.

She was stirred by his talent and wanted to give him some guidance.

Unexpectedly, the host family who invited her seemed rather unwilling.

Qin Su saw through the thoughts of Zhang Shi and her servant at a glance, but showed a well-behaved smile: "What you said is right, Granny. I have to do laundry and cook every day, so I'm afraid I won't have much time to learn from you. I am already very grateful for your guidance."

Qin Su's words immediately caused Chen Mama to show a surprised look:

Why would you let a young girl with such a talent for embroidery do laundry and cook?
Don't they know how precious the hands of an embroiderer are?

Chen Mama's thoughts were written all over her face, which made Zhang Shi frown: "Alright, now that Mama has finished her instructions, you can go and see your aunt."

One sentence was enough to make the smiling girl's face turn pale, and even her head seemed to droop a few feet:
"Thank you, Mother. I'll take my leave now."

[Host, the old witch's face has changed. She didn't expect you to say that in front of outsiders.] The system scoffed.

Qin Su hummed in agreement. If it were the original owner of this body, she would never have said these words.

It would be even more impossible for her to say something like "mistreated by the legal mother" in front of outsiders.

Putting aside whether she would be beaten or punished, the first thing that would happen to Aunt Xu was that she would be accused of "failing to properly educate her daughter" and severely punished.

[Would the host like to see Aunt Xu?]

Qin Su: "Yes, of course I want to see it."
-
"This brat is talking more and more. If it weren't for the importance of Qionghua's matter, I would have smashed her mouth open for saying such nonsensical things today!"

After sending the needlework maid away, Madam Zhang immediately frowned and said fiercely.

Granny Liu comforted her, "Madam, don't be angry with her. Anyway, she won't be able to cause trouble for much longer."

After being comforted, Zhang's complexion improved considerably: "That palace maid knows what should and shouldn't be said, right?"

As long as that brat is in her hands, she'll be dealt with sooner or later. I'm just afraid of what others will say.

"Don't worry, Madam. If she can't keep her mouth shut, I won't bother her..."

What neither mistress nor servant knew was that the nanny they spoke of as "tight-lipped" had just returned to her room when she encountered an "uninvited guest"—

“You, you are Commander Ye…” Granny Chen doubted that there was something wrong with her eyes.

Why is the Crown Prince's head guard in his room?

Ye Fan nodded: "Granny Chen, His Highness has some instructions..."
-
"Aunt Xu is inside. Miss, please go in by yourself."

The maid who was leading the way pushed the door open and then stopped going. Her rude and undisciplined attitude already showed the status of the mother and son in the main courtyard.

Qin Su didn't show much expression. The door opened, and she went inside.

She had only taken two steps when she heard a maid's voice behind her: "Madam asked me to remind the Third Miss that a mother's status depends on her son. Only if you are obedient can Concubine Xu live a good life."

Based on just that one sentence, Qin Su was already thinking of turning around and leaving.

She really didn't want her harsh, sexist mother to have a good life.

However, for the sake of her future plans, let's just bear with it for now.

"Mother."

As soon as the door was opened, a stench hit Qin Su, almost preventing her from going in.

Her expression was almost contorted: "What's this smell?"

System: [Zhang Shi forbids Aunt Xu from leaving the house, forcing her to eat, drink, and relieve herself in this room.]

The maids were deliberately perfunctory and didn't come to empty the chamber pot for two or three days.

Now that it's summer, you can imagine how strong the smell is.

"Daughter! Sangsang, Sangsang, you've come!"

Aunt Xu, who had been sitting on the bed in a daze and feeling unwell, heard the door open and her eyes lit up: "Quick, take me back! I don't want to stay here anymore! She wants me dead!"

Qin Su dodged the woman's lunging body and said, "Mommy, you smell so bad, don't get me dirty."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Xu, who was already on the verge of tears of joy, lost control of her anger and shouted, "You think I stink! You actually think I stink!"

Outside, the servant who had been eavesdropping heard the noise, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he turned back to report:

Just as the old nanny said, as long as she saw Aunt Xu's miserable state and let her teach the Third Miss a lesson, the Third Miss would obey.

"Doesn't Mother know if it smells bad? I'm just telling the truth."

Qin Su smiled, and after the system notified her that the person had left, she turned and left as well.

Aunt Xu panicked upon seeing this: "Where are you going? You can't leave! What will I do if you leave?"

Qin Su paused, turned her head, and gave a gentle but emotionless smile: "Doesn't Mother have relatives outside to help? Go find them."

Aunt Xu's face changed instantly: "You...you know..."

Qin Su: "I've said it before, if Mother doesn't learn her lesson, someone will naturally teach you."
