Nian Susu was a little annoyed when his true feelings were exposed. He refused to admit it and said sarcastically, "How could that be? Your Highness, I support whoever you want to marry and how many concubines you want to take. How could I be angry?"

"Even if you are angry, you still need a formal status. Since I haven't married you, nor have I married you, I am not the Crown Princess. How can I be in charge of your Highness' affairs?"

Qin Junyu laughed in silence, twisted her shoulders and turned her around. The two of them looked at each other face to face. Nian Susu snorted coldly and turned away angrily.

"Okay, don't be angry. I have never thought of taking Miss Nalo as my concubine."

"real."

His eyes were sincere, but Nian Susu didn't even look at him.

"I don't believe it." She said coldly: "If Your Highness didn't have that thought, why would he take the initiative to ask her to follow us to Yuhang?"

She muttered softly: "It's because you can't bear to leave her."

Her jealousy meant that she cared about him, and Qin Junyu enjoyed this feeling very much. Seeing her puffing up her cheeks in anger like a little squirrel gnawing on food, he inexplicably found it cute.

Although he liked her being jealous of him, he didn't want her to be sad. Overthinking would hurt her health, so he would rather she be happy every day.

"Really not, I kept her here to investigate something." Qin Junyu suddenly became serious.

Nian Susu also became nervous, and her temper disappeared immediately. She stared with wide eyes and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?"

Qin Junyu smiled without saying anything and led her into the north room.

-

Nian Susu looked at the Yin Fuli and the fireball on the table and was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.

"So... the reason why I was attacked by the wolf was because Miss Luo sprinkled this on me?" She pointed with a shaking hand at the handkerchief filled with light blue powder.

"She did it on purpose." Nian Susu suddenly reacted, his voice trembling.

She understood, she understood it all.

Nian Susu's pupils trembled, and when Qin Junyu saw her reaction, he knew he didn't need to say more.

He put away the things slowly and said, "So you know why I kept her here."

Nian Susu was so angry that he was stunned when he thought about how he was kept in the dark and was played around by Luo Yuanxiang.

But when he thought about the fact that Qin Junyu had been investigating the truth for a long time and he was still throwing a tantrum, Nian Susu felt ashamed.

She swallowed and stammered, "Wouldn't it be much easier if you told me earlier?"

"It was just a guess before, and there was no real evidence. What if it really was an accident? Wouldn't it be too conscienceless for us to make malicious speculations about your benefactor like this?" Qin Junyu asked with a smile.

"That's true." Nian Susu reluctantly accepted this statement.

"So what is your highness going to do?"

Qin Junyu looked at her mysteriously.

Nian Susu took a few steps forward and put his ear closer.

……

The next day.

The housekeeper ordered the servants to prepare breakfast, and this time remembered to reserve five seats and five sets of bowls and chopsticks.

The maids who had gone to summon him came back one after another, saying in unison: "The young master said he would come right over."

"The girl said she'd be right here."

The housekeeper was not in a hurry. He asked the people in the kitchen to prepare hot dishes. New charcoal was added to the charcoal stove in the front hall, and it burned more vigorously.

A quarter of an hour later, everyone was there. The seats were randomly assigned. Luo Yuanxiang deliberately sat neither too early nor too late and chose the seat to the right of Qin Junyu, and to his left was Qin Guanqing.

Xiao Yunzheng arrived late, arm in arm with Nian Susu. The two of them were talking and laughing. They sat down as soon as they saw a seat, not caring at all who was sitting next to them.

The proud Luo Yuanxiang suddenly became like a clown and couldn't laugh anymore. He felt that the little advantage he had had disappeared completely because of Nian Susu's indifference.

Luo Yuanxiang had an ugly expression on her face, and Qin Junyu noticed it, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

The reheated dishes were served on the table, mostly light, including rice porridge, Mingya cakes, rice cakes and several Jiangnan special snacks, with rich variety, color, aroma and taste.

Xiao Yunzheng couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks and ate a piece of Mingya Bing first. It was crispy, sweet, yet not greasy. It was so delicious that she squinted her eyes and could only sigh, "Hmm! Hmm!"

Since they were all family, there was no need to be so particular. Nian Susu also took a piece of rice cake. It had a light yellow appearance and tasted sweet. It was not sticky or hard, and had the right softness and hardness.

"Delicious, delicious!" Nian Susu praised it highly.

Qin Junyu and Qin Guanqing seemed hungry and picked up their chopsticks.

Luo Yuanxiang was at a loss as to what to do. She waited until they all had food in their bowls before she served herself a bowl of rice porridge, sipping it in small sips and glancing at them from time to time.

Seeing that everyone was relaxed, her tense nerves slowly relaxed.

But she had just been at ease for a while when Qin Junyu broke the happy scene with a calm voice, "After breakfast, Miss Luo should leave Yian Garden."

Xiao Yunzheng was shocked and Qin Guanqing was surprised.

The front hall suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The butler who was waiting to be summoned was very smart. He waved his hand and asked the maid to leave.

"Why?" Xiao Yunzheng put down his chopsticks, "Brother Yu, you are not..."

Didn't he want Miss Naluo to be his concubine? Why did he drive her away after only one day in Yuhang? He was the one who asked her to stay, and now he was the one who drove her away. Xiao Yunzheng felt that this was too unfair.

But she didn't dare to say these words, at least not now, because the atmosphere was so solemn that it suppressed her emotions.

Although Qin Guanqing was curious, he did not ask. Instead, he glanced at Nian Susu and became more determined not to speak.

Nian Susu was not surprised. Instead, she was observing Luo Yuanxiang's reaction, which meant that she probably knew the inside story in advance, and this inside story was enough for her to decide to drive Luo Yuanxiang away.

It is conceivable that something big must have happened.

Qin Guanqing showed respect by not picking up his chopsticks and just watched the show quietly.

Qin Junyu, the instigator, scooped a mouthful of porridge into his mouth as if nothing had happened. He even showed a puzzled expression, and his eyes swept over the faces of several people one by one: "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me? Eat."

He set an example by picking up a piece of dregs of cake, as if it was not him who had just "invited" Luo Yuanxiang away.

Of course, except Qin Junyu, no one dared to pick up their chopsticks, and everyone was feeling uneasy.

Luo Yuanxiang waited for a while, but no one spoke for her. Qin Junyu did not explain, and seeing his attitude, he was not going to explain. She could only choke and ask, "Sir, did I do something to make you unhappy? Or do you think I didn't do well enough? I can change and learn."

Luo Yuanxiang shed two lines of tears, "Sir, can you please not chase me away?"

Her eyes were flattering, like a poor puppy that was about to be abandoned by its owner, wagging its tail to keep its owner's heart.

Qin Junyu didn't even look at her, "Miss Luo, do you want to know the reason so much?"

Luo Yuanxiang's heart sank, and she had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.
