A dream ends life

The crystal was a rough stone. It was not like Du Jingjing had never seen it before, but it felt so novel to get it in this way.

The Empress Dowager and Nanny Li were also very surprised. "How could there be a crystal, little girl Su? You put it there."

Su Ci smiled and said, "It's not me. I don't know what's inside either. You won't know until you open it. There are different surprises inside each one."

This is the joy of opening a blind box, only those who open it will know.

Du Jingjing asked: "What is this made of?"

Every cat and pig is so cute that she can’t let go of them even more than the real ones.

"It's sugar."

Du Jingjing blinked her eyes and looked at the Empress Dowager expectantly, "Aunt, can I smash one?"

The Empress Dowager said, "Then smash this little cat."

The two of them took spoons and smashed it down, "Wow! It's a little baby!" Du Jingjing exclaimed.

It was a chubby little baby wearing only a bellyband. It was sitting there in a silly and cute manner, holding a hydrangea in its hand.

After that, the blind box opening mode began, and exclamations came out from the house.

In the end, only the peach was left, and the Empress Dowager was reluctant to give it away.

Su Ci asked her to smash it herself, and she picked up the spoon and smashed the last one.

There was actually a peach inside.

Smashed it again.

It's still a peach.

The Empress Dowager laughed heartily, "It's fun, it's really fun."

After playing for a while, the young and old started to eat the cakes.

There were only four cakes, one for the Empress Dowager, one for Du Jingjing, one for Xiao Che, and the last one was placed in front of Nanny Li by Su Ci.

Nanny Li was flattered and looked at her in shock.

Su Ci pursed her lips and smiled, "You try it."

Nanny Li looked at the Empress Dowager, who was very satisfied with Su Ci's performance.

This Su's behavior and actions pleased her in every way. Xiao Che's vision was indeed good.

The cake melts in your mouth, and even picky people like the Empress Dowager and Du Jingjing enjoy it.

Xiao Che scooped a spoonful and put it into his mouth, his eyes sweeping over Su Ci.

Su Ci lowered his head and drank tea, and the two of them seemed like they were really unfamiliar with each other.

Nanny Li had never seen how they got along with each other, and thought it had always been like this between them.

The prince has always been like this. He only smiles in front of my cousin. I think he said that insignificant remark because he didn't want my cousin to misunderstand!

She didn't understand the feelings of young people. In fact, Miss Su was really good, but unfortunately she was not perfect. There was a huge difference between them.

After waiting for a long time for the meal to be served, Su Ci let out a long sigh and left quickly after the meal. It was really tiring to stay here.

The Grand Empress Dowager sat in the middle, Xiao Che was on the left, and Du Jingjing was originally on the right, but she insisted on sitting next to Xiao Che, so Su Ci was pulled to the right by the Grand Empress Dowager.

Nanny Li served the Empress Dowager the food. There was a maid serving Du Jingjing behind her. Only Xiao Che and Su Ci had no one behind them.

The reason is that they don't like being served.

"Huh? Cousin, do you like shrimp?"

Xiao Che was peeling shrimps himself, and there were already several peeled shrimps in the bowl.

Xiao Che paused.

"Cousin," Du Jingjing looked straight at Xiao Che, almost saying I want to eat.

Helplessness flashed across Xiao Che's eyes. He used the chopsticks he used to serve food to pick up one for the Empress Dowager first, and then for Du Jingjing.

He gave one to Su Ci seemingly unintentionally.

The Empress Dowager's eyes were meaningful, while Du Jingjing opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

Su Ci endured several looks, especially from Du Jingjing, which made her feel like she was being stabbed in the back. That was the kind of look only women could understand.

Su Ci declined: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I don't like shrimps, I prefer this."

Pick up a piece of braised pork and put it in the bowl.

Xiao Che lowered his eyes and withdrew his hand, hiding the emotions in his eyes.

Nanny Li was worried. How could these two people really act like strangers who had only met a few times?

What went wrong?

Du Jingjing enjoyed the meal the most. Xiao Che peeled shrimps for her personally. She was the only special one from beginning to end.

The two of them sat together, one was responsible for peeling and the other for eating, which was very pleasing to the eyes.

After finally finishing the meal, Su Ci stood up and said goodbye.

"The previous courtyard is still empty, you can move in. It's just something you have nothing to do anyway," said the Empress Dowager.

Du Jingjing's eyes flickered. "Aunt, the grass in my cousin's yard has grown into my yard. I wonder if they have cleared it out."

"It's just a few blades of grass. There are still some left. Go and have a look. If there are any left, let your cousin pull them up himself."

"Cousin, you heard me, let's go and take a look. I want to see my cousin weeding for me with his own hands."

Xiao Che was pulled by Du Jingjing and walked out of the door.

The Empress Dowager then thought of Su Ci, "Jingjing is young, don't bother with her. She has a straightforward personality, and you will understand after you get along with her."

Su Ci smiled and said, "I dare not. I'll take my leave. I wish you a happy old age."

After the ceremony, Su Ci turned and left.

The Empress Dowager belatedly realized and asked, "She's gone?"

Aunt Li nodded.

"If we don't ask her to stay, how can she leave?"

Nanny Li was helpless: "Miss, don't you think there is something wrong between her and the prince?"

The Empress Dowager pondered for a long time: "It is indeed wrong, could it be that Che'er didn't want to give her a name?"

"I don't know, old slave."

No one could guess what the prince was thinking, but Miss Su's performance clearly showed that it had nothing to do with the prince. There must be something going on between these two people.

"This girl is very good, but I don't know what Che'er thinks."

When Xiao Che came back, Du Jingjing's face was full of resentment.

"Mother, it's getting late. I'll take my leave."

"Are you going?"

"Yes."

Xiao Che didn't see Su Ci and his face looked a little gloomy.

"Cousin, don't you live here?" Du Jingjing asked.

Xiao Che said in a gentle voice: "I still have things to do. I have asked someone to clean the yard for you. You can live here peacefully."

Du Jingjing nodded meekly and obeyed Xiao Che's words.

Xiao Che hurried out of the villa and did not see Su Ci's carriage.

He hurried back to the house where he lived yesterday, feeling empty inside.

Su Ci did not come back.

"What about people?"

He Wei was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and couldn't help but groan in his heart. He just acted like a stranger to the other person, so what was he doing now?

He didn't arrange anyone to follow Miss Su at all, and he really couldn't guess what his master was thinking.

"My subordinates will go check it out right now."

Xiao Che exuded a suffocating cold air as he walked into the room where the two of them had been so affectionate yesterday.

The house is still the same house, but it feels different from before.

The bed was made neatly, with two pillows placed close together. He suddenly reached under the pillow and took out a small brocade box.

When he opened it, it turned out to be his Buddhist beads.

Xiao Che's breathing became disordered, and a surge of anger rose in his heart.

The brocade box turned into powder in his hands, and the Buddhist beads in his hand embedded into his palm.

At the same time, there was a feeling of helplessness that attacked the whole body.

"No need to look for them, just withdraw all the personnel."

After saying that, he strode out of the room and ordered someone to lock the room.

He left the house without looking back.
