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

Jingzhe crossed his legs, winked at her and smiled, "Miss, how are you?"

Nian Susu glanced at him speechlessly.

If she had known it was this guy, she wouldn't have been so nervous.

After putting away his backpack, Nian Susu took a tinder and lit the candlesticks on the round table, making the room brighter.

She saw Jingzhe's appearance clearly, a very youthful face. She didn't get a good look at him in the yard that night, but when she saw him today, she couldn't help but sigh: It's worthy of being a romance novel, even a minor character is so handsome.

"What's wrong, young lady? Are you scared?" Jingzhe looked gloating and quite proud.

He had been waiting from dawn to dusk and his butt was sore from sitting. Would it not be too much to scare her as a punishment?

Nian Susu rolled his eyes and didn't want to answer.

He poured himself a cup of tea, and found it was cold. He was not very particular, but the tea in the Niansu dormitory was Pu'er, which tasted astringent and bitter after it cooled. He couldn't spit it out or swallow it when he held it in his mouth.

When Nian Susu saw him puffing up his cheeks, frowning his brows and looking ferocious, he immediately felt relieved.

Smiling, she sat opposite him, one hand on the round rosewood table, the other hand on her chin, and blinked, "Is it delicious?"

Jingzhe held his breath and swallowed the bitter tea, then replied nonchalantly, "It tastes good, great tea!"

She would have believed it if he hadn't pushed the teacup away.

Nian Susu noticed the silver bell bracelet on his wrist, which had faded and looked quite old.

It's hard for a grown man to not doubt the origin of this bracelet when he wears it.

Jingzhe noticed her gaze and lowered his eyes to look at his wrist. His eyes fell on the bracelet and his smile gradually faded.

Although Nian Susu was not a thoughtful person, he knew from his expression that the bracelet contained sad memories of his past, so he did not intend to ask.

"This was given to me by my sister. It's the only thing she left me."

The young boy's tender face showed a rare sadness. He lowered his eyes, bowed his head, and gently stroked the worn part of the bracelet with his fingers, as if opening a box of memories related to it, and a bitter smile appeared in his eyes.

The room suddenly became quiet.

Nian Susu was not used to comforting people, and was at a loss as to what to do. She knew it would be like this, so she didn't dare to ask.

"It's okay." Nian Susu picked up the teacup that Jingzhe had pushed away and said, "Don't be sad. Drink some water."

Her five words of comfort: It's okay, it will be fine, don't be sad, don't be upset, don't cry.

Jingzhe glanced at the teacup with resentment, and instantly he no longer dared to be sad. The tea was more bitter than his life, so what reason did he have to be sad?

A teenager's emotions come and go quickly.

In the blink of an eye, Jingzhe started chatting and laughing with her again.

He ate the cakes that Nian Susu brought, "Miss, I have something to ask you."

Nian Susu always felt that the title of "young lady" sounded strange, but he couldn't put his finger on what was wrong with it, so he just let it go.

Jingzhe did not show any other emotions towards her vulgar words. On the contrary, because of this, he thought that she was a down-to-earth young lady and spoke more unscrupulously.

"I want to ask you if you have seen what the murderer looks like? Or...how tall is he? Is he strong or thin?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I told you, investigate the case."

He stated his purpose the first time they met: he came from Tianxuan Villa to investigate a case.

Nian Susu sneered, saying that he had only heard this a few days ago.

Jingzhe was puzzled as to why she reacted like this.

"Do you know who lives in my yard?" Nian Susu lowered his voice and moved closer to him.

Jingzhe also stretched his neck forward, and their heads were almost touching, as if they were whispering.

He snorted disdainfully and said proudly, "Of course, I'm from Tianxuan Villa."

Nian Susu put away his smile, sat up straight with a stern face, stared at him with a scrutinizing look, and said in a calm voice that inexplicably carried a sense of oppression, "You know this, but you're still asking? What is the first rule for entering Tianxuan Villa?"

Jingzhe's smile gradually froze.

The first rule for joining the manor: you are not allowed to have any dealings with the royal family, and you are not allowed to accept any commissions involving the royal family.

Now the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace and Prince Qing both live in the Prime Minister's Residence, and it is well known that they have received the imperial edict to investigate the murder case.

He is from Tianxuan Villa. If he says that he is investigating a case, he is either breaking the rules of the villa or lying.

No matter which one it was, Jingzhe didn't want to recognize it, but he didn't want to tell the real reason.

The two of them just stayed in a stalemate.

Just then, the door was kicked open.

Both of them were startled. Before Nian Susu could see clearly who the black figure that rushed into the room from the door was, Jingzhe had already been captured, with his hands behind his back and his face pressed on the rosewood round table.

The action was so fast that even Jingzhe, who knew martial arts, couldn't react, let alone Nian Susu.

She looked at the man in astonishment, her mouth slightly open in shock, "Your Highness..."

"Miss Nian, are you okay?" Qin Junyu's face was calm and his words were even calmer.

Without counting Nian Susu's answer, Qin Junyu turned his gaze to Jingzhe and his voice suddenly turned cold, "I let you go last time, but you dared to come back? Are you tired of living?"

After struggling a few times in fear, he found it was futile.

"Let me go! I didn't hurt anyone!"

"You have trespassed into the Prime Minister's residence. I can hand you over to the Prime Minister for punishment."

Nian Su Su is having a headache. Why do these two people always quarrel whenever they meet? Is it because they have a conflict of fate?

She said some nice things to Jingzhe and guaranteed that he really had no ill intentions, and only then did Qin Junyu let go of her hand.

Jingzhe didn't give Qin Junyu a good look. He leaned towards Nian Susu while straightening his wrinkled clothes.

He can't beat this black-faced devil, so how can he afford to hide?

"My lady, protect me."

Years: ...

The three of them sat opposite each other in a triangle and judged Jingzhe.

Because Jingzhe's purpose was unclear, Nian Susu was still wary of him, so he stood on the same line as Qin Junyu.

Jingzhe was like a little white rabbit, sitting obediently with his arms folded, allowing himself to be slaughtered.

Nian Susu: "I ask a question and you answer it."

Jingzhe: “Hmmmm!”

Qin Junyu: "If you dare to tell a lie, I'll chop off one of your arms. If you tell two lies, I'll chop off both arms."

Jingzhe didn't respond to him, but stared at Nian Susu with his dog eyes.

"Ahem..." Nian Susu acted like a judge, "What is your purpose in going into the Prime Minister's Mansion twice?"

"To investigate a serial murder case."

Qin Junyu slammed the table and stood up to arrest the person.

“Really!” Jingzhe was so scared that he shrank his neck like a little chicken, and raised three fingers to assure him, “I’ll send four! But it’s not a commission from Tianxuan Villa, it’s a job I took on privately.”

Nian Susu signaled Qin Junyu to sit down with his eyes, and then asked, "Can you still take jobs privately?"

Jingzhe smiled foolishly, "Hehe, no." He covered his mouth with his hand and whispered to her, "The owner of the manor doesn't know anyway, so it's okay to answer it secretly."

Qin Junyu slammed the table again and stood up to arrest the man. This time he was obviously angrier than before, and the anger was written all over his face.
