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

Chapter 68 Oh, and Xiong Jing is on the scene!

"That time I went out with my older sister, I almost got lost. If I hadn't met Aunt Linghu and Brother Xie, I would never have been able to get back."

Hearing this, Xie Cisheng's face darkened slightly: "When the servants found Cheng... your house, your eldest sister had already gone home. So many people, yet not a single one remembered that you hadn't gone back."

Xie Cisheng was clearly angry when he said this: Taking such a small child out on the street and no one to take care of him, the people in the Prime Minister's mansion are simply scoundrels!
Qin Su shook his head, recalling the original owner's emotions, and said sincerely:

"It was because I wanted to buy medicine for my mother that I begged my elder sister to let me blend in with the servants. It has nothing to do with them."

The little girl spoke lightly, blaming no one, but to the two men, it sounded like—

The eldest daughter had a large retinue of servants, but the youngest daughter had to disguise herself as a maid to buy medicine.

Damn it, the Qin family!

Qin Su, stirring up trouble: Ah, the weather is really nice, it's time to give the Qin family a piece of their mind.

"Sending a little girl out to buy medicine, will the entire Qin family die?"

Chu Jiang scoffed coldly, his words as sarcastic as ever.

Xie Cisheng looked at him with some surprise: "You..."

Chu Jiang narrowed his eyes: "What, did I say something wrong?"

At the same time, he twitched his wrist behind his back, ready to beat the guy up if he dared to say it.

But to everyone's surprise, Xie Cisheng simply shook his head: "No, I just feel that Young Master Ling has spoken my mind."

Except for Sangsang, all members of the Qin family deserve to die!
Chu Jiang averted his gaze, arrogantly ignoring him, and asked Qin Su, "How much further do we have to go?"

The young girl said gently, "It'll be there soon, just turn this street and you'll be there."
-
Ruizhifang was originally a working-class neighborhood, and its surrounding environment was not as good as that of the wealthy neighborhood.

The destination that Qin Su and Xie Cisheng were heading to was even worse.

As they walked along, they encountered more beggars and thugs, and the three of them attracted more attention as they walked among them.

Qin Su was intentionally or unintentionally protected by the two in the middle. She seemed casual and ordinary, but her attention was always on the tyrant, in case he had an attack at any time.

While gently telling him stories from his childhood, try to distract him:

“Aunt Linghu came from a good family. After her husband died, she neither remarried nor returned home. She stayed in the capital alone and adopted many orphans who had lost their parents.”

When the original owner of this body was a child, she got lost and was fortunate enough to meet her, which saved her from being kidnapped.

"Ah, that's the one up ahead."

Qin Su stopped and exchanged a glance with Xie Cisheng. He understood and went to knock on the door.

Qin Su stayed where she was, tugging at the tyrant's sleeve and whispering to him, "Aunt Linghu is skilled at playing the zither. Most of the expenses here come from her dowry and the wages she earns from playing the zither at the entertainment venues."

Because life is tough, she's a bit withdrawn and assertive, but it's all for her own protection and the children here. So please don't be angry if she says something unpleasant, okay?

Being gazed at and pleaded with by a young girl fills one with an indescribable joy.

Chu Jiang only wanted to pinch her fair and cute face: "Beg me."

The moment the words left their mouths, both of them were taken aback.

"I……"

Chu Jiang didn't expect that he would suddenly say such a thing, but the little girl's face turned red visibly.

He was somewhat lost in thought as he watched.

Just then, Xie Ci's voice rang out from the side again: "Sang Sang..."

The young girl hurriedly replied, "Thank you, brother, I'm coming..." then, avoiding the man's gaze, she said, "Come on, let's go, the door's open..."

After saying that, she was about to go over, but after only two steps, the man grabbed her wrist and said in a tough voice, "I can agree to your request, but you can't let him call you Sangsang anymore."

As he spoke, the man's cold gaze fell on the young man in blue not far away.

If he had a longsword, he would have killed that bastard long ago.

The little girl paused for a moment, then shook her head: "Brother Xie has always called me that since I was little."

Chu Jiang, however, found the phrase "from childhood to adulthood" particularly jarring.

However, his sharp tongue arrived late but quickly:
"He's known you since you were little, and yet he's let you live such a miserable life. He's truly a good-for-nothing!"

Since encountering Xie Cisheng, he has learned a new rule of love without being taught: seize every opportunity, anytime, anywhere, to belittle your rival.

However, the little girl just shook her head: "That's just how my family is, I can't blame anyone else, and besides, no one can interfere in other people's family affairs..."

Chu Jiang sneered: "Who said there wasn't? I..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a group of noisy children: "Sister Sangsang, Sister Sangsang, you're here..."

Chu Jiang was only in a moment of distraction when seven or eight children pushed past the little girl.

They were all thin, small, and pale, with patches on their clothes, but they looked relatively clean.

The little girl was surrounded by them, her face beaming with a gentle and beautiful smile.

Even though it was the first time Qin Su had met these people, she was still able to play the role of the original owner with ease.

As he spoke, he matched the child in front of him with the names of people in his memory one by one.

Chu Jiang really wanted to pull the girl over, but remembering the little girl's instructions along the way, he held back and was welcomed into a small courtyard with them.
-
"This is Brother Ling Xiao. He is Sister Sang Sang's good friend. He is not in good health and cannot be disturbed. Can the children help Sister Sang take care of him?"

Suddenly being called out for being "unwell," Chu Jiang's face darkened instantly, and he glared coldly at the little girl who was blatantly lying.

The little girl blinked her big eyes and looked at her innocently, pleading silently.

Chu Jiang sneered without denying it, but still looked away.

I don't know who spoiled her, but she's become increasingly audacious.
-
Qin Su calmed the child down with just a few words, and everyone followed her to distribute the gifts.

Xie Cisheng entrusted the child to the servant and walked over to the man who refused to remove his mask even after arriving here:
“Sangsang is kind and good-natured; everyone likes her. You…”

Before he could finish speaking, the man in front of him simply turned and walked away, not even glancing at him, displaying his arrogance and rudeness to the fullest extent.

The person offering thanks almost laughed in exasperation: What a load of rubbish!
Here, Qin Su and Xie Cisheng had a clear division of labor.

She was responsible for helping to mend the children's torn clothes and cook lunch; the men, along with their servants, helped repair the house, mend windows, and do some carpentry work that the elderly, weak, women, and children could not do.

The children are very well-behaved, while the older ones go out to do odd jobs to earn money.

The middle children can make small handicrafts to sell, while the youngest children can help pass things or just play nearby.

Everyone loves Sister Sangsang the most because she can tell stories, embroider beautiful flowers, and is always smiling, gentle, and doesn't look down on them. Everyone wants to be around her.

Chu Jiang, on the other hand, had nothing to do and was arranged by Qin Su to sit on the side, which could be considered as playing with the child.

However, the tyrant had very little patience. Whenever a child tried to approach, he would simply remove his accessories and throw them into their arms, one by one.
Go play somewhere else and don't get involved.

The child who received the "toy" indeed stopped bothering him.
