After escaping with her bestie, she became the white moonlight of the crazy prince

Being pulled into Qiao Ruoxi's arms, Shen Chu hesitated for a moment before hugging her tightly. Her voice was nasal and buzzing, "Mother, Chu'er is not well. I've made mother and father worried and sad."

Looking at the mother and daughter hugging each other, a relieved smile appeared on Shen Zhong's face, and he raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face.

But when he thought of something, he immediately looked outside the mansion.

There was a carriage parked outside the mansion, and standing beside the carriage was Xie Ming's personal guard Yun Shu. With him standing beside, it was obvious who was sitting in the carriage.

Although he really didn't want to disturb Shen Chu and Qiao Ruoxi's reunion, he still spoke after his gaze stopped at the carriage for a while, "Chu'er, did you come here with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Shen Zhong was asking about serious matters. No matter how much Qiao Ruoxi missed her daughter, she didn't want to delay her husband from dealing with the serious matters. She reluctantly let go of Shen Chu's hand that was tightly hugging her so that Shen Chu could answer Shen Zhong's questions.

After wiping his face carelessly, Shen Chu answered Shen Zhong's question, "Yes, Daddy, Chu'er came back in the carriage of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Hearing Shen Chu say this, Shen Zhong thought to himself that he was doomed. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent his daughter back, yet they were so neglectful of him. What a sin.

Shen Zhong hurried out of the mansion and stood beside Xie Ming's carriage, saying respectfully, "Your Highness has taken the trouble to send my daughter home. I am deeply grateful. I wonder if Your Highness has eaten yet. If not, I wonder if Your Highness would be willing to honor me by visiting your home. I hope Your Highness would not mind."

He bowed slightly and waited for Xie Ming's answer.

But Xie Ming did not answer for a long time, and the carriage did not move.

Seeing this scene, Qiao Ruoxi felt a little panicked, wondering if it was because of their negligence that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was angry.

Shen Chu frowned when he saw this scene.

Is Xie Ming putting on airs?

She took a step forward to see what Xie Ming was doing, but Qiao Ruoxi grabbed her wrist.

Qiao Ruoxi, with tear marks still on her face, stared at her with red eyes, shook her head gently, and signaled Shen Chu not to interfere.

But Shen Chu just smiled and gently took his mother's hand away, "It's okay, mother."

Just like that, Qiao Ruoxi quietly watched Shen Chu walk step by step towards the prince's carriage. Before getting on the carriage, she straightened Shen Zhong, who was slightly bowing towards the carriage, and then decisively got into the carriage.

The speed was so fast that before Shen Zhong could even react, his daughter easily broke into the prince's carriage.

He widened his eyes slightly, feeling worried.

How could you be so reckless? How could you just get on the Crown Prince's carriage?

But now Shen Chu had already entered the carriage, so he could only stand by and wait.

Shen Chu, who had entered the carriage, was slightly stunned when he saw the scene inside.

Xie Ming was dressed in black clothes, and his whole body exuded an awe-inspiring aura. Originally, he was sitting very upright, but now he leaned his head against the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.

Even so, his brows were still furrowed.

Do you have worries even when you sleep?

Shen Chu stared at him for a while, and suddenly found that Xie Ming's eyelashes were very long, black and thick, and very beautiful.

Shen Chu, who had originally come up to replace Shen Zhongzhong and asked him not to go down to eat, wanted to give up when she saw this scene. But as soon as she turned around, the person who had closed his eyes to rest suddenly reached out and grabbed her, saying in a hoarse and lazy voice, "You came up just to take a look at me?"

Shen Chu, who was caught, didn't feel embarrassed at all. He blinked and said, "No, I wanted to ask His Highness if he wanted to go downstairs for dinner. Seeing that His Highness was sleeping soundly, I thought of not disturbing him."

"Now that Your Highness has awakened, would you be so kind as to come to the Shangshu Mansion for lunch?"

In fact, Xie Ming had already woken up the moment Shen Chu stepped onto the carriage. The reason he didn't open his eyes was that he just wanted to see what Shen Chu was going to do.

Although they were very close just now, Shen Chu did nothing. He just looked at him quietly for a while and then was about to leave.

If he hadn't reached out and grabbed the person, Shen Chu would have left by now.

Xie Ming looked at Shen Chu's red eyes and tightened his fingertips.

He knew why Shen Chu's eyes were red, but that didn't mean he could accept it.

"Well, let's go."

He loosened his hand, and when he withdrew his hand, his fingertips gently stroked Shen Chu's eyelids.

Shen Chu was stunned for a moment when he noticed this action, and then left the carriage as if nothing had happened.

The prince's heart is as unfathomable as the sea.

The meal was extremely uncomfortable. If Shen Zhong and Qiao Ruoxi had not been there, Shen Chu would have wanted to put down his chopsticks and leave.

It’s not that Xie Ming did anything excessive.

To be honest, Shen Chu wanted him to do something excessive.

This way she can get angry directly instead of enduring it silently.

During the entire meal, Xie Ming was absent-minded and his eyes were almost always on Shen Chu. Anyone who didn't know would have thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was drinking the elixir and didn't need to eat, just looking at others.

Shen Chu also noticed this. Being stared at, she felt like she couldn't even eat.

Just as she was about to put down her bowl and chopsticks, Shen Chu finally couldn't help but raise his arm and bumped Xie Ming, lowering his voice and saying, "Your Highness, is the food not to your liking? I see you haven't even touched your chopsticks."

It was not difficult to hear that she was gritting her teeth when she said this.

Xie Ming picked up a white porcelain tea bowl, took a sip of the cold tea, and then answered Shen Chu's question.

"No, I just have a poor appetite."

This is the truth. Xie Ming is a bit picky about food. He won't touch the dish if he sees some vegetables that he doesn't eat added to it.

However, there are several dishes like this in Shangshu Mansion.

He liked the dish, but he didn't like the ingredients.

"That's good, but don't let your highness down."

There was a hint of sarcasm in these words. Qiao Ruoxi heard it and gently tugged at Shen Chu's sleeve, wanting to tell him to be careful with his words and actions.

Shen Chu felt a pulling sensation coming from his side, turned around and smiled at Qiao Ruoxi.

Seeing her like this, Qiao Ruoxi was reluctant to say anything more.

Although their daughter has returned, the doubts in their hearts have not been answered.

How did Chu'er fake his death and escape the autopsy by those people from the Imperial Hospital and the coroner from the Dali Temple?

Looking at the person sitting next to Shen Chu, Qiao Ruoxi secretly clenched her hands.

In fact, she didn't want her daughter to have too much involvement with the royal family.

Being in the royal family, you have to experience much more than ordinary people.

Not to mention that the person sitting next to Shen Chu now is the future emperor of Qi.

If Chu'er really gets together with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there will be so many people in His Royal Highness's harem, how can Chu'er compete with them?

This is indeed a bit far-fetched.

In fact, Shen Chu hasn't thought so far ahead yet, because in Shen Chu's opinion, if it really comes to that step, her strategy progress must have reached 100%, and she will definitely not stay here at that time.

No matter how chaotic Xie Ming’s harem becomes, it will have nothing to do with her.

"Are you full?"

Seeing Shen Chu put down his bowl and chopsticks, Xie Ming spoke immediately.

"Well... if Your Highness has nothing else to do, you can..." and left.

"Let's go then."
