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

Chapter 79 The Crown Prince Awakens
"let me go!"

Qin Su frowned and struggled.

Murong Jing: "I won't let you go! You haven't answered me yet!"

Qin Su ignored him: "Butler Zhao!"

"Ahem, ahem, this old servant suddenly remembered that Master had instructed me to fetch something important. I almost forgot! Young Master, this servant will take his leave now!"

After finishing his speech, Butler Zhao ignored Qin Su's shocked gaze and left.

As the master's confidant, Steward Zhao was well aware of the Prime Minister's thoughts: if nothing unexpected happened, when the eldest daughter married into the Eastern Palace, then as "compensation," the third daughter would have to enter the Duke of Jin's mansion as a concubine for the heir.

Because of this secretive plan, no one in the entire household, not even Zhang Shi, who disliked Qin Su the most, interfered with Murong Jing's search for Qin Sangsang.

Otherwise, how could a man like him freely enter and leave the side courtyard, and even seek out women from the Prime Minister's residence?

Only the original owner of this body was unaware of this, and always thought that she was the one who caused her brother Murong to marry someone he didn't like, so she always felt guilty and was therefore manipulated by them.

Qin Su was shocked and asked the system, "He just left like that? Isn't he afraid something will happen to me?"

The system paused for a moment, then replied: "They did indeed leave, taking the servants with them. Now only the host and the scumbag male lead are here."

"Sangsang, I apologize for what happened today. Please don't be angry anymore, okay?"

Seeing that the outsiders had left, Murong's tone softened. He took the girl's hand and explained sincerely, "It was that little girl's fault today. Your sister's carriage overturned, and she was so protective of her master that she..."

"Don't you find it strange?" Qin Su suddenly interrupted the man's self-righteous explanation.

Murong Jing was confused: "What?"

Qin Su pulled her hand away forcefully: "We clearly have no relationship, so why do they allow us to have contact? Don't you understand what they mean?"

Murong Jing frowned: "What do you mean? Haven't we been like this since we were little? I've always treated you like a younger sister, the Prime Minister knows that, we..."

"But now we're all grown up. Now that we're grown up, men and women shouldn't touch each other. I hope you understand that."

Qin Su interrupted him and tried to close the door again.

"Sangsang!"

Murong Jing finally grew impatient, looking at Qin Su with a reproachful gaze, as if to say, "I've already explained, why are you being so insensible?"

Sure enough, the man's next words were: "Can you please stop making a scene? I'm really tired today. I've practically turned the whole Chunfeng Tower area upside down looking for you. If I hadn't found you by now, I was going to report you to the authorities..."

"Didn't we already agree that you wouldn't come looking for me again? Have you forgotten, or have you lost your mind?"

Murong Jing had originally intended to use his hard work to gain the girl's sympathy and concern, but Qin Su's merciless words still stung his heart: "Sang Sang, do you know what you're saying?"

Qin Su: "I think you're the one who doesn't know what you're saying. Young Master, please get this straight, our relationship ended completely the moment you abandoned me at noon today. Please stop saying these nonsensical things to bother me, it's really annoying."

Murong Jing's face was somewhat pale as he strained to look at the girl's face, trying to discern her feigned strength.

But there was nothing there; those once gentle and shy eyes now held only indifference and disgust.

He was like some kind of trash that she couldn't get rid of, making her feel disgusted.

"Qin Sangsang, I've already apologized, what more do you want!"

Murong Jing abandoned all pretense of weakness, his handsome face darkening, his eyes turning cold: "If you continue to speak like this, then we really shouldn't see each other again."

Qin Su laughed. See? This is the true face of a man. He reveals himself the moment things don't go his way.

Qin Su: "You said it yourself, so please remember it."

After saying that, she slammed the door shut, completely shutting out the male protagonist's disgusting face behind it.

The moment the courtyard gate closed, the girl could no longer hold back her tears.

"Host..." the system asked anxiously.

Qin Su wiped away her tears: "I'm fine."

But the male lead is still outside.

Qin Su: "Unless he's dead, you don't need to notify me."

After saying that, she walked into the courtyard.

At the door, the man who had been waiting for the girl to open the door gradually had his cold expression replaced by unease as time went by.

In the past, if she heard him say such things, the little girl would bow her head to him no matter how wronged or angry she was.

He knew better than anyone how afraid she was of being alone and how she always tried her best to hold onto the warmth around her.

But why did it fail this time?

Or is it that she really doesn't want him anymore, as she said?
No, not possible.

The idea was quickly dismissed by Murong Jing.

He knew Sangsang's personality better than anyone else. Anyone in this world might betray him, but she would never.

She was so kind and weak; she was always the one being bullied.

He clenched his fists: "She must be furious today. I'll come see her again tomorrow."

Even so, Murong Jing's unease did not dissipate.

Sang Sang has changed, to the point that he almost doesn't recognize her anymore.
-
There is a curfew in the capital, but the Duke of Jin's mansion has a special status and is exempt from it, so even though it was already dark, Murong Jing still chose to go back.

However, in Qin Su's words, "What 'immunity'? It's clearly the male protagonist's halo! I wish someone could beat him up..."
-
Murong Jing was distraught and seemed lost on the way back.

He still couldn't understand why Sangsang was acting this way.

She always listened to him the most and would never put him in such a difficult position...

"What are you doing! This is the carriage of the Duke of Jin's mansion! Get out of here right now, or you'll be in big trouble!"

The carriage suddenly stopped, and the driver's shouting came from outside. Murong Jing snapped back to reality: "What's going on?"

Coachman: "Young master, we've encountered a roadblock... Ah!"
-
叶凡站在暗处，看着前方打作一团的人影，忍不住抬手按了按额头，真的很想装作不认识：“堂堂东宫护卫，竟然干这种揍情敌泄愤的事……真是世风日下啊！”

Just as a gap appeared in the crowd ahead, and the Duke of Jin's heir, whom they thought they could easily subdue, suddenly had a chance to break through the encirclement, Chief Guard Ye instantly stood up straight, pulled his mask over his face, and flew out like a phantom.

He wasn't excited; he was simply too angry to face the crazed Seventh Prince without beating him to a pulp!
-
Before His Highness the Crown Prince even opened his eyes, he already felt a splitting headache. His slender, jade-like fingers touched his forehead, and his brows furrowed deeply.

When he opened his eyes and smelled the overwhelming stench of alcohol that seemed to soak him in, the perfect mask on his face finally cracked slightly.
