Qin Fengtian felt like there was something stuck in his throat.

He thought his mother would pity Nian Qiaoyue in the future, but she didn't.

He thought his mother would be disappointed with Nian Su Su, but she was not.

He never understood his mother. He had tried to understand her thoughts and relieve her worries, but his mother never gave him this opportunity.

Whenever he did not understand her decision and raised questions, his mother would either scold him for being stupid and not understanding such a simple truth;

Or they would compare him with his older brothers and then devalue him to nothing.

Just like just now, when he said that Qin Junyu moved into the Prime Minister's Residence for the purpose of marriage, his mother scolded him for being stupid but did not explain, so he knew that his answer was wrong.

He didn't dare ask any more questions, for fear that his mother would become even more angry.

Qin Fengtian felt a pang of sadness in his heart, and as usual, he said a few soothing words and then left the inner room.

Four palace maids were waiting in the outer room, also trembling with fear.

Every time the Queen summoned Prince Qing to have a private talk with him, she was in a bad mood after the talk, so she took it out on them, the servants.

After a few times, they would tremble whenever they saw Prince Qing.

Qin Fengtian was unaware of the thoughts of the young palace maids. He told them to add spices to the incense burner, get a bottle of Zhengtian oil to massage the queen's temples, and then left the palace.

……

Once the serial murder case was solved, Nian Susu had a lot more free time and no longer had to worry.

Apart from the occasional trouble caused by Nian Qiaoyue and forcing her to take the blame, her life was comfortable.

That day, she wore a veil hat, shook off Zhihua, and quietly went out to Yuanlai Restaurant to have a big meal. On the way, she was bumped into by a thief, and her veil hat was blown away. Her body swayed, and she staggered a few steps and fell backwards.

The back of his head hit the ground, and he was either dead or paralyzed. Nian Susu felt as if a revolving lantern was turning on and off in front of his eyes.

Just as the feeling of weightlessness was getting stronger and stronger and she was about to fall to the ground, she landed on a strong chest. Her hair seemed to be hit by something, and a muffled groan came from behind her:

"Huh!" This voice... sounds a little familiar.

The person behind her held her back with a big hand and pushed her forward. She stood up straight, but her head was still dizzy.

Nian Susu straightened her crooked single bun and turned around to say thank you.

"Hey! Miss, a good dog shouldn't block the road. Why are you standing here?" Jingzhe put one hand on his waist and rubbed his red and swollen chin with the other.

It was the jade hairpin on her head that poked her like this.

These words were harsh to hear, and Nian Susu was furious. However, thinking about how he had just saved her, she swallowed her anger and clasped her fists towards him, "Thank you for saving my life, hero! I am deeply grateful, and I will work like a slave to repay your kindness in my next life!"

After saying that, I wanted to slip away, fearing that he would blackmail me.

After taking a few steps, someone grabbed his collar and pulled him back.

Jingzhe carried her like a chicken, "No need to wait for the next life, I can repay you now."

"If it weren't for saving you, I would have caught that little thief and taken him to the government office to collect the reward." He raised his eyebrows proudly, "You have to compensate me."

Nian Susu laughed awkwardly, turned his head and blinked, "I don't have a room, but I have a life."

Although she is the eldest daughter of the prime minister's mansion, she does not have the financial power of the prime minister's mansion.

Jingzhe "betrayed" Tianxuan Villa in order to buy a house in Shengjing yesterday, and today he can blackmail her for a house by using the grace of saving her life.

Such a huge sum of money is really life-threatening.

Jingzhe was a little speechless, "Who cares if you want a room? Just treat me to a meal." He loosened her collar, put his arm around her shoulders, and dragged her forward, "Let's go! I haven't eaten for a day. I'm starving."

"Hey hey hey!" Before Nian Susu could react, he had already been brought to the door of Yuanlai Restaurant.

He is quite good at eating and actually brought her here.

Yuanlai Restaurant is the largest restaurant in Shengjing with the best food, the most repeat customers and the highest rating. Her favorite dishes are Jinling Pressed Duck and Jade Belt Shrimp.

As soon as the two of them entered the door, the owner of the restaurant recognized Nian Susu.

"Miss Nian, did you bring any friends here today?"

While greeting Nian Susu, Yun Jianfeng waved to the waiter and told him to go to the second floor to prepare a private room.

Jingzhe became excited, stepped forward and grabbed Yun Jianfeng's shoulders, and said to Nian Susu:

"Sure, Miss. If you hadn't told me earlier that you knew Boss Yun, would I have to go hungry for a day?"

He patted Yun Jianfeng on the shoulder and said, "Brother Yun, Miss Nian and I are friends. From now on, my meal expenses will be charged to her account!"

Without waiting for Nian Susu to speak, Jingzhe ran upstairs as if he was running for his life.

Yun Jianfeng looked back at the figure running up the stairs, then looked at Nian Susu and smiled awkwardly.

"Boss Yun, if he comes here to eat and doesn't pay in the future, you can make him work in the kitchen to pay for the meal."

Nian Susu stared at the corridor on the second floor with hatred, while Jingzhe leaned on the railing and made a face at her smugly.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Boss Tongyun, when she arrived at the private room on the second floor, Jingzhe had already ordered the dishes and was waiting for her with chopsticks in hand.

Nian Susu closed the door, raised her chin to signal him to eat first, and then she slowly lifted her skirt and sat down.

Jingzhe had been hungry for a whole day and could not wait any longer. He grabbed the pork elbow in one hand and the beggar's chicken in the other, and took a bite from each, enjoying both.

Even with his mouth full of meat, he still managed to mumble, "As expected of Yuanlai Restaurant, the taste is indeed better than other places!"

Nian Susu frowned in disdain and took a sip of tea.

She originally wanted to come here to eat, but Jingzhe's eating manners were so dirty that she lost her appetite.

So all the delicious food on the table went into Jingzhe's stomach.

After having a good meal and a good drink, Jingzhe touched his bloated stomach and burped, "Hehe, it's delicious. I'll come with you next time."

Nian Susu snorted coldly, "Do you still want a next time? You spent twenty taels of silver on this meal!"

What does twenty taels mean? The monthly allowance for the month of Jingzhe is only ten taels.

Her heart was bleeding when the waiter brought the bill to her for payment just now!

Jingzhe smiled foolishly again, "Miss, I just saved you, isn't your life worth twenty taels?"

Nian Susu rolled his eyes, too lazy to argue with him, folded his arms, leaned back, and took an interrogative attitude, "Now that you're full, can you tell me why you're in Shengjing?"

That day, the murderer was beheaded at Wumen Gate. Jingzhe told her that the case was closed and he was going back to the villa to apologize. But they met again today.

It was hard not to wonder.

Jingzhe put away his playful face, his eyes darkened and became sad.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Nian Susu frowned.

Xuan Ji was poisoned a few days ago, and she was worried that something had gone wrong at Tianxuan Villa.

As a result, Jingzhe said, "I was expelled from the sect."

Nian Susu breathed a sigh of relief, “Oh, it’s a good thing that he was expelled from the sect.” I hope nothing happened at Tianxuan Villa.

Jingzhe tilted his head, not caring about being sad anymore, and raised his arm to question her: "What do you mean it's a good thing I was expelled from the sect! I am now homeless, with nowhere to go, no food to eat, and no monthly salary to receive! How miserable I am!"

He covered his face and sobbed. Nian Susu was shocked at how quickly his expression changed.

"What should I do in the future? Wuwuwuwu... I will either starve to death, freeze to death, or I will be too hungry to bear it and steal things and get beaten to death. In short, there is only one way to go, wuwuwuwu..."

As he cried, his two eyes peeked at her from between his fingers.
