The prince can read minds! I just want to be a princess and have a bad time

She hurried to the second floor and saw from afar a man holding a child hostage and negotiating with someone in front of the railing. There were more than a dozen people behind him. A woman in luxurious clothes was crying on the ground. She was probably the child's mother.

An old man stood beside her, dignified but calm, tapping his fingers rhythmically at his sides, looking at Shen Yu and Lu Yingxing with meaningful eyes.

"Why did you force my wife and children to leave? Why did you force me?" The man almost collapsed and screamed at a group of people not far away.

The man looked to be about thirty or forty years old, dressed in green clothes. He should be a child of a wealthy family. Those who could enter the "Wangyue Tower" were either rich or noble, but the kesi worn by the boy in his arms was very different from his.

Although kesi is a fabric, it has a three-dimensional effect as if it were carved. Even in modern times, it is regarded as a high-end craft collection. In ancient times, it was even made by the royal family... Seeing that the little boy was afraid but still pursed his lips tightly and endured it, I knew that he was not a simple person and must have been trained.

Shen Yu called the anxious shopkeeper to find out what was going on. It turned out that there were two families on the platform. The man was the youngest son of Bachelor Jia from the Hanlin Academy. His father temporarily detained him and only sent his wife and children back to the clan land, which led to him being unwilling to leave for a long time.

Originally, the "Meeting Platform" was a reservation system, and only guests from one room were allowed to use it at a time. This was to prevent such accidents from happening and to allow everyone to better express their feelings of parting.

The shopkeeper also had a guilty look on his face. He had asked the people from Duke Dingguo's mansion if they minded, so he did not insist on driving the man away. Who knew that he would suddenly go crazy and want to jump downstairs while grabbing Duke Dingguo's grandson!

Fortunately, when the princess designed this platform, she built the railings high and sturdy. The man tried several times but failed to break through the fence, which led to the scene before him.

Shen Yu approached Lu Yingxing and whispered a few words to him. She called the guards and listened to their words. She knew what was going on, but no one noticed and Wu Chen also disappeared.

She walked up to the man and questioned him with a look of contempt, "Mr. Jia, you can't keep your wife and children, so you go and harm other people's sons? Who gave you the courage to cause trouble in my 'Moon Viewing Tower'? Tell me, who ordered you to do that?"

The noble lady who was still crying suddenly widened her eyes, walked forward in disbelief and asked, "Princess Zhuo, you mean he, did he deliberately capture my son?"

Because of the relationship between the Queen and the Second Princess, Shen Yu had a good impression of Duke Dingguo's family. They were powerful but obedient. This time, they were probably being plotted against, so she nodded and said, "I don't believe in coincidences!"

"I have clearly stipulated that only one guest from one room is allowed to use the 'Meeting Platform' at a time. My shopkeeper usually does not disobey my orders, but he is soft-hearted and sentimental. When he saw this young man who was reluctant to leave his wife and children grieving here, I am not surprised that he was soft-hearted and asked for your opinions. But this is also the problem. There are too many coincidences, so it is not a coincidence. After all, who would study the character of my shopkeeper for no reason?"

"I also believe that if these railings did not appear to be made of bamboo on the surface but were actually made of iron on the inside, Mr. Jia would have dragged someone down with him, right? He is an adult and at most his legs would have been broken, but that might not be the case for a child..."

The noble lady was also filled with anger after hearing this. She glared at him and said, "You actually deliberately harmed my child, you bad man!"

Shen Yu was very surprised. The young lady of Duke Dingguo's Mansion was actually such a naive person?

But it did not stop her from despising this kind of behavior of using children as bargaining chips. "Fortunately, I like to keep a hand in everything, so Mr. Jia, why don't you tell me? Who tricked you into falling from here? He must have also told you that these railings are just bamboo, right? Did you just stand there for so long just to perform the sad Spring and Autumn? Don't you understand the props before doing bad things? You are too careless, aren't you? Who tricked you into coming here? Tell me, I will help you beat him up to vent your anger! ”

"Yes..." Master Jia suddenly choked. He was almost tricked by this princess?!

But everyone understood that he was indeed instructed. Just as the man was still trying to argue, Wu Chen suddenly climbed up from the railing outside, subdued him, and successfully rescued the little boy.

The crowd watching below was like, “????” So it’s done? It’s so simple, what did you do just now?

Seeing that the child was fine and the man was taken away, the shopkeeper knelt down with a guilty look on his face and apologized to the Duke's Mansion. He knew that he had caused a big disaster this time. Before, the shopkeeper Fu had also reminded him to change his temper. He thought that there was nothing wrong with being soft-hearted, but no, someone actually calculated this! !

"My Lord, please be merciful. This is all my fault. It has nothing to do with Moon Viewing Tower or the princess. I am solely responsible for my own actions. I will leave it to you, my Lord. Please don't blame the restaurant!"

Shen Yu was very satisfied with his performance. Although this shopkeeper lacked ability, he worked sincerely and was loyal. He always completed the plans he arranged seriously. Although he was not capable enough, he was willing to give him time to grow.

So she stepped forward, but instead of apologizing, she said directly, "Okay, get up! The Duke is training his grandson, you just join in the fun!"

If Duke Dingguo could be fooled by such an obviously fake setup, he would have died many times! But that Master Jia was obviously a foolish cannon fodder. I wonder if the person behind this wanted to plot against Duke Dingguo? Or did he want to plot against Prince Zhuo's Mansion as well... If Duke Dingguo's people were powerful enough, I believe there would be an answer soon.

"Ah?" The shopkeeper looked up in shock. What did the princess mean?

The Duke laughed and waved his hand nonchalantly. His eyes were deep and bright, and those eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts were full of appreciation. He admitted to Shen Yu without any concealment, "The princess has good eyesight! Lei'er, come here!"

He waved to the back, and the kidnapped little boy came forward, his steps were steady and powerful, without any panic after the adventure, "Greetings to Prince Zhuo, Princess Zhuo!"

The little boy has delicate features, bright eyes, and a very cute rosy cheek. Shen Yu likes him from the bottom of his heart when he sees him. He is also a little boy! !

He must be very excited, too, because he passed the test from his grandfather, right? So she squatted down, stretched out her hand, smiled brightly and said, "Hello, little warrior! You did a great job! You remained calm in the face of danger and were able to understand grandpa's instructions in the chaos. From today on, you are a little man!"

Against the backdrop of dusk, Xue Yanlei's heart seemed to be lit up by the smile of the older sister in front of him.

He stared at her closely, trying to find traces of compliments. After all, people around him loved to praise him since he was a child, but he wondered if he could tell whether it was from the heart! But no, she was not complimenting, she really thought she was a little man from the bottom of her heart! !

He tried hard to suppress the upward curve of his mouth, but he was ultimately defeated by the excitement in his heart. He carefully extended his right hand to shake her hand and whispered, "Thank you!"
