The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

When Su Qingning returned to Jinyuan, Nanny Zhang had just put the food on the table.

"The Third Miss is back." Aunt Zhang saw Su Qingning coming back and said happily, "Just now, Madam and the Sixth Young Master were thinking about you and wondering if you had lunch. Now is the perfect time. You can have lunch with Madam and the Sixth Young Master."

While Aunt Zhang was talking, Su Qingyu had already run to Su Qingning's side. He reached out and took his sister's hand, saying softly, "Sister, let's have dinner together!"

"Okay." Su Qingning nodded and let Su Qingyu pull her to sit next to Yun Ruopiao.

"Ningning, you are finally back, please save me." Xiaobai, who was held in Yun Ruopiao's arms, looked at Su Qingning pitifully with his round eyes, and asked her for help through soul transmission.

Su Qingning glanced at Xiaobai, who seemed to have lost all hope in life, then glanced at Yun Ruopiao, who was smiling happily. Then she decisively ignored Xiaobai's cry for help and picked up a chopstick to pick up some vegetables.

However, before Su Qingning even took a bite of the dish, she smelled a strange odor. Although the smell was very faint, her sense of smell was different from that of ordinary people, and she could smell odors that others could not.

"Don't eat it! It's poisonous!" Su Qingning quickly grabbed Yun Ruopiao's hand to stop her from eating the food.

Hearing Su Qingning's words, Su Qingyu was so scared that he threw the chopsticks back on the table, and the piece of meat he picked up also fell on the table.

"Poisonous? How could that be?" Nanny Zhang was surprised and seemed to be in disbelief.

Su Qingning didn't explain much, but directly took out a silver needle and inserted it into the plate of vegetables she had just picked up. When the silver needle was pulled out, the tip of the needle had indeed turned black.

Looking at the silver needle that turned black, except for Yun Ruopiao who knew nothing, Su Qingyu and Aunt Zhang all widened their eyes in shock.

"Oh my God! How could this happen?!" Aunt Zhang exclaimed, feeling a wave of fear in her heart. "We just returned to the Su family. Who on earth is so cruel as to poison us?"

Su Qingning couldn't confirm who poisoned her for the time being, but it was probably someone from one of the other branches of the Su family.

However, speaking of poison, Su Qingning glanced at Yun Ruopiao who was standing beside her with a confused look on her face, not knowing what was going on. She suspected that her mother's stupidity was related to poisoning.

It seems that she needs to find an opportunity to check her mother's body. It would be great if her dementia could be cured.

Su Qingning made a decision in her heart. Then she looked up at Aunt Zhang and said, "Aunt Zhang, don't go to the big kitchen anymore. Let's cook in the small kitchen ourselves! It might be hard work for you."

"It's not hard, it's not hard." Aunt Zhang waved her hands quickly and said, "Originally, this old servant made all of this. It's just that we just returned to the Su family yesterday, and there was nothing in the small kitchen, so this old servant went to the big kitchen to serve some food today. I didn't expect that someone would poison it."

"From now on, we can cook our own food in the small kitchen to prevent others from poisoning us. But..." Aunt Zhang paused and said with some embarrassment, "But we don't have many copper coins on us. We can only buy two days' worth of food at most!"

The trading currency of the Demonic Martial Continent is spirit coins, which are divided into: copper coins, silver coins, gold coins, and amethyst coins.

One amethyst coin is equal to one hundred gold coins, ten thousand silver coins, and one million copper coins.

For the past four years, Su Qingning's family had lived in a remote village outside Anyang County. Their daily expenses were covered by handicrafts made by Aunt Zhang, or by digging some common medicinal herbs in the mountains and selling them in exchange for some copper coins to support their lives.

But now they are back in the imperial capital, where prices are definitely higher than in Anyang County. The copper coins they have on them might last for seven days in Anyang County, but in the imperial capital, they can only last for two days at most.

Thinking of their family's current difficult situation, Su Qingning couldn't help but frowned slightly. Since they have returned to the Su family, the share that belongs to their family must not be lost. She will find a way to get the spiritual coins that belong to them.

However, before that, she had to find a way to solve her current predicament.

"Madam Zhang, you don't have to worry about this. I will find a way." Su Qingning comforted her.

It seems that she not only has to help her mother cure her illness, but also has to find a way to go out and temporarily sell some medicinal herbs in exchange for spirit coins.

……

Because the lunch brought back from the main kitchen was poisoned, Nanny Zhang had no choice but to knead the remaining flour into noodles and cook them, just enough for everyone to eat a bowl.

After eating the noodles, Su Qingning planned to sneak out of the Su family, but before that, she had to disguise herself.

After returning to the room, Su Qingning went straight to the space. She remembered that there was a room in her space courtyard that seemed to be filled with human skin masks.

Su Qingning found the room based on her memory. She pushed open the door and saw that there were more than ten long tables in the room, and each long table was filled with human skin masks.

These human skin masks have the appearance of men, women, young and old, including pretty girls, charming beauties, handsome men, and evil and seductive monsters; but these are not Su Qingning's choices.

She picked out an ordinary boy's mask from among the many human skin masks and put it on her face.

Then, a delicate and beautiful little girl turned into an ordinary boy with freckles on his face.

Su Qingning looked at the ordinary face in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction. She raised her hand to loosen the bun on her head, then picked up the comb on the table and combed her hair into a man's bun.

Then she returned to her room in the courtyard and took out a blue men's suit from the closet and put it on.

After changing her clothes, Su Qingning couldn't help but feel fortunate that when she was on Earth, she liked to collect all kinds of ancient costumes, including those for all age groups. Now it was convenient for her to disguise herself.

After completing the disguise, Su Qingning returned to her room from the space. However, when she opened the door and walked out, a big mistake happened.

"Where did you come from, you little thief? How dare you sneak into my sister's room? I'll beat you to death." Su Qingyu pounced on Su Qingning with his teeth and claws bared, calling out to Aunt Zhang, "Aunt Zhang, come quickly, a little thief has broken into my sister's room."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang, who was cleaning the small kitchen, picked up the broom by the door and rushed out.

"Where's the little thief?" Aunt Zhang rushed out. Seeing the strange young boy in the yard, she immediately raised her broom and rushed over, shouting, "Ah! Little thief, I'll beat you to death!"

Looking at Su Qingyu and Aunt Zhang rushing towards her, Su Qingning's mouth twitched. She first stretched out a hand to hold back the ferocious Su Qingyu, then raised her head to look at Aunt Zhang and said helplessly, "It's me."
