After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

After reviewing the whole incident again, she suddenly understood.

She always felt the smell of epimedium and actinolite around her. In fact, it was not caused by Qin Fengtian's medicine, but by Xuanji giving her the bottle of "High Morale".

Xuan Ji only looked at the surface and failed to understand the special meaning of the label, so she treated it as a refreshing medicinal oil. Under the effect of the double aphrodisiac, she had hallucinations.

After figuring this out, Nian Susu finally felt relieved. As long as Qin Fengtian didn't succeed, it would be fine.

But there is still a puzzling point: how did Xuan Ji know that she was in danger at Yunji Restaurant? Even if he was passing by, it is impossible for him to "pass by" Qin Fengtian's crime scene so accurately, right?

She planned to find an opportunity to thank Xuan Ji and ask about what happened at that time.

Nian Susu put on his outer cloak and prepared to go see how Zhihua was preparing.

An unexpected guest appeared at her door—Nian Qiaoyue.

Nian Qiaoyue stood at the door hesitating for an unknown amount of time, not daring to come in. It was not until Nian Susu noticed her that she bit her lower lip and walked into the house.

Nian Susu walked to the table and poured himself a glass of water. He felt his lips were burning and wondered if it was the aftereffect of the medicine.

She gulped down a glass of water and glanced at Nian Qiaoyue, "What's the matter?"

Her attitude was not very good, and one could even tell that she did not welcome this person.

Nian Qiaoyue stepped forward and grabbed her arm, ready to cry: "Sister, you must help me this time!"

Nian Susu sneered: "If you have something to ask, come and ask me for help. If you have nothing to ask, just come and hurt me."

She shook off the hand of this good sister, sat down and poured herself a glass of water. She didn't ask what the matter was, nor did she ask if she needed help. She looked straight ahead, and her meaning was obvious - to see the guest off.

Nian Qiaoyue blushed in embarrassment.

She twitched the corners of her mouth, forced out a fairly natural smile, and said softly: "Sister...it's my fault, please don't bother with your sister because I'm young and ignorant~"

Nian Susu got goosebumps all over his body and was speechless. He immediately retorted: "You are not sensible? I didn't hit you enough. Just stretch your face over here and let me spank you a few times and you will be sensible."

As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, blew a few breaths into her palms, and waved at her, "Come, let me try a few slaps to get a feel for it."

Nian Qiaoyue was so scared that she covered her face and stepped back, staring at her in astonishment, "I came here sincerely to beg you, and you actually wanted to hit me!"

"I really wanted to hit you, but you backed off!

Are you serious about taking a half step back? Such a small action can cause so much damage~"

Nian Susu sang with his eyes closed, absorbed in the singing.

Nian Qiaoyue retreated even further as if she had seen a ghost.

She suspected that Nian Susu was mentally ill, otherwise why would he often do such incredible things?

Nian Susu cleared his throat and said, "There will be a charge for the rest of the trip. If you don't want to pay, please leave now."

Nian Qiaoyue was stunned for a moment, and then actually walked out.

When she reached the door, she realized something was wrong. She hadn't finished her job yet, so how could she have been tricked away by Nian Susu?

She turned back to the table and said shamelessly: "Sister, just help me. This is just a piece of cake for you."

"If I don't help you, leave now." Nian Susu was firm.

She was afraid that if Nian Qiaoyue said one more word, the system would pop up to warn her again.

Nian Qiaoyue refused to listen and insisted, "Sister, please help me and take me hunting with you, okay?"

Nian Susu’s face turned black: …

[Friendly reminder, the host cannot refuse any request from Nian Qiaoyue. ]

"Okay, I'll take you there." Nian Susu was forced to agree.

Nian Qiaoyue was happy at first, but then she saw Nian Susu's sour face and thought she was lying to her. To be on the safe side, she said something extra: "Sister, you can't regret it."

"I will definitely behave myself and never cause any trouble."

Nian Susu nodded perfunctorily, "I know, I know."

"Then let's make it like this? I'll be waiting for you at the East Wing Gate in three days, and we'll set off together."

Nian Qiaoyue didn't give her the chance to refuse and walked out with a happy face after she finished speaking.

Nian Susu was helpless and sighed with his chin in his hands.

Zhihua happened to come in and met Nian Qiaoyue at the door.

"Miss, what is the second young lady doing here? She seems to be in a good mood." Zhihua looked back every few steps, and only walked into the house after seeing Nian Qiaoyue's brisk figure walk out of the courtyard.

Nian Susu: "Let me take her to the Mulan hunting party."

Zhihua: "The young lady must have agreed to the second young lady, otherwise the second young lady wouldn't be so happy.

Even though the Second Miss targeted you like that, you still let bygones be bygones and lent her a helping hand many times.

You are so kind, miss."

Zhihua put herself in her shoes. If she had a sister like this, she would definitely let her fend for herself.

Nian Susu: “Hehe.”

……

Three days later.

Zhihua poured a bowl of porridge and placed it next to Nian Susu, then glanced outside and said, "Miss, the second young lady has been waiting at the gate of our courtyard since dawn. Do you want to ask her to come in and have dinner with you?"

Zhihua thought of Nian Qiaoyue shivering in the cold wind with a small bag on her back, and felt a little sorry for her.

No matter how bad Nian Qiaoyue is, she still has a pitiful side, and Zhihua is a soft-hearted person.

Nian Susu ate the bland porridge with little interest, "No need, if she wants to wait, let her wait."

It is better to feel sorry for Nian Qiaoyue than to feel sorry for herself.

Zhihua said "Oh" softly, "Listen to the young lady."

After eating a few mouthfuls of porridge, Nian Susu was not in a hurry to leave. He lay back on the couch and started reading a storybook.

Zhihua glanced at the sun and found that there was indeed still time. The emperor asked all the accompanying personnel to gather at the city gate at 5:15 am, and it was only 2:15 am.

She was no longer in a hurry and started embroidering a purse.

It was a rare and pleasant time. The sun was beginning to shine outside the window. The yard was very quiet and occasionally one could hear the rustling of leaves in the wind.

When Nian Qiaoyue walked in, she saw this peaceful scene.

The pretty girl was leaning on the couch, her arm resting on the pillow, her head supported by her hand, and she was flipping through a storybook comfortably. There was a faint smile between her eyebrows, like a flower blooming in spring.

The little maid under the couch handed the pattern to the girl to choose from. She looked at it carefully, chatting and laughing with the little maid as she chose one.

Nian Qiaoyue held onto the door frame, unwilling to break this warm scene, and a hint of envy flashed in her eyes.

She lowered her eyes in disappointment, thinking: If her mother was not a lowly maid, but a daughter of a well-known family, and she was not a concubine who was not allowed to see the light of day, but a legitimate daughter of the prime minister's mansion, her life would probably be like this too.

Now, she can only feel jealous.

But she will definitely get everything she wants on her own!

The envy in Nian Qiaoyue's heart soon dissipated. She put on a smile and stepped into the room.

"Sister, when are we leaving?

If we are late, the emperor will definitely be angry, and it will not be good for our reputation if it gets out."
