The system forced me to blow up the female lead's fishpond.

“She’s right, you don’t need to come to this soup kitchen anymore.” Chu Chouchi took a half step back without changing his expression, his eyes filled with ice as he stared at her intently.

Shen Qinshou was struck dumb.

She turned to look at the newcomer, her voice urgent, "Brother Qiu Chi, why are you treating me like this? Did A-Shou do something wrong?"

Chu Chouchi sneered, but did not reply.

Shen Qinshou was extremely anxious. She pushed away Shen Zhizhi, who was blocking her view, and asked in an even more urgent voice, "Brother Qiu Chi, did she say something to you? Did she?"

After speaking, he turned to look at Shen Zhizhi with a sorrowful expression, his eyes brimming with tears:

"Third sister, what exactly did you say to Brother Qiu Chi? Why are you so determined to see me doing well?"

Shen Zhizhi looked up at her, a cold smile playing on her lips.

Sure enough, the original author is out of his mind. He's a complete genius. With so many female leads to choose from, he just had to pick a scheming, womanizing playboy.

To make matters worse, she had to be transported to this godforsaken place to suffer in order to correct the plot.

"During these three days of porridge distribution, there have been two cases of poisoning..." Chu Chouchi stopped talking, but the coldness in his eyes forced Shen Qinshou to retreat step by step.

She looked up in disbelief, "Brother Qiu Chi, do you suspect that A Shou poisoned him?"

Seeing the person in front of her standing still without saying a word, Shen Qinshou's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but tremble.

Could it be that the Second Prince really knows? Knows that she was the one who poisoned him?

impossible!

Given the Second Prince's personality, if he truly knew that she was responsible for this, even if he spared her life, he would make her wish she were dead.

If that's not the case, then it must be that this vile woman Shen Zhizhi said something to the Second Prince that made him suspicious of her.

Insidious and despicable, it's disgusting.

Shen Qinshou bit her lip hard, and a gloomy look quickly crept into her eyes.

But when she looked up, her eyes were filled with tears. She stared at Chu Chou's bare feet for a long time before leaving in anger.

"Bye-bye, sister."

Seeing her humiliated expression, Shen Zhizhi smiled broadly, almost clapping and cheering.

She didn't forget to turn her head and wink at Chu Chouchi, "Second Prince, I single-handedly blocked her attack for you, wasn't that amazing?"

"Yeah, awesome."

Chu Chouchi glanced at her smug expression, but didn't try to dampen her spirits. Instead, he went along with her and replied.

"Gurgle~" Shen Zhizhi's stomach rumbled at an inopportune moment.

She glanced at Chu Chou Chi with a slightly embarrassed expression, "Hehe, Your Highness, how about I take you to eat something delicious?"

"This prince does not eat wontons."

Thinking of what Shen Chao had said to him that day, Chu Chouchi's face darkened.

Shen Zhizhi carefully observed his expression and knew what he was thinking. She couldn't help but laugh heartily, thinking to herself that Chu Chouchi was really a childish devil.

She cleared her throat and said in a serious tone, "Your Highness has done so much for the people today, and you have worked so hard without complaint. I dare not be negligent and will certainly satisfy Your Highness."

"Hmm." Chu Chou raised an eyebrow and nodded.

Shen Zhizhi stepped forward, raised her hand in a gesture of humility, and said with great grace, "Thank you for gracing me with your presence, Your Highness. Please go first."

"Pretending to be something you're not going anywhere." Chu Chouchi looked up at her teasing expression, saying this, but the doting look in his eyes went unnoticed even by himself.

"Coming, coming!" she hurriedly caught up, chattering excitedly beside him, "Second Prince, what do you like to eat? Sweet, salty, or spicy? Do you have any dietary restrictions?"

"Noisy." Chu Chouchi glanced at her.

Shen Zhizhi fell silent, looking pitiful, her voice barely audible, though tinged with dissatisfaction. "I just wanted to ask what you like to eat. If you don't want to ask, then don't..."

"..."

Chu Chouchi paused for a moment, then cleared his throat.

"Ahem, let it be noisy then, I don't mind."

……

Shen Qinshou walked to the street, her mind blank, her almond-shaped eyes clouded with coldness, and the anger in her eyes almost burned her to ashes.

Shen Zhizhi! She must find a way to get rid of her!

No one knows when it started, but the Second Prince was completely bewitched by Shen Zhizhi. Anything he wanted to do would inevitably fail as long as she was around.

When did Shen Zhizhi become so shrewd? In the past, she dared not utter a sound even when Shen Zhizhi clearly bullied her.

"A-Shou?" A deep voice came from behind.

Shen Qinshou turned around and saw Chu Tu walking towards her with a sable coat draped over his shoulders.

Seeing her red eyes, Chu Tu frowned. "What's wrong? A-Shou? Have you been crying?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Shen Qinshou's eyes flashed with wild joy.

How could she not have thought of that? What about the Third Prince?!

The Third Prince has always doted on her. Although she doesn't know why he didn't harm Shen Zhizhi that day, if she were to subtly inquire about it, the Third Prince would definitely not let her off the hook.

Thinking of this, his brow furrowed and an idea came to him.

"Brother Tu!"

Shen Qinshou suddenly lunged forward, falling into his arms and sobbing softly.

The soft fragrance enveloped him, and Chu Tu was flustered. After a moment, he asked, "What's wrong? A-Shou?"

Shen Qinshou trembled, her delicate hands tightly gripping his waist. "Brother Tu, is A-Shou really that annoying? Why, why..."

She choked up, pressed her lips tightly together, and cried without saying a word.

"A-Shou, don't cry. What grievance have you suffered? Tell me, and I will make them pay a thousandfold." Chu Tu embraced her, his deep eyes dark and intimidating.

Shen Qinshou's voice was soft and delicate, her voice choked with sobs, "Brother Tu, isn't A-Shou annoying? Otherwise, why does my sister always treat me like that?"

Upon hearing Shen Qinshou mention her, Chu Tu's eyes flashed with surprise, "Shen Zhizhi?"

“During this disaster relief porridge distribution, Ah Shou saw many disaster victims outside the city and felt pity for them, wanting to help, but unexpectedly…” Shen Qin Shou’s voice choked up several times until she could no longer make a sound.

If you ignore the fierceness in her eyes, her tearful, pitiful appearance is truly moving.

Chu Tu knew what was going on, and the red mole under his eyebrow became even more alluring and red with anger. "She kicked you out again?"

Shen Qinshou bit her lip, nodded in his arms, and then said:

"Recently, there have been frequent accidents at the soup kitchen, and coincidentally, Ah Shou has been there both days. I wonder what my sister said to the Second Prince that has caused him to avoid Ah Shou like the plague, and even suspect that Ah Shou has poisoned people."

Shen Qinshou became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, "Brother Tu, I have never thought of myself as a sister that my younger sister hates so much."

“Ah Shou, you’ve always been kind-hearted, you wouldn’t even step on an ant, how could you possibly do such a thing?”

Chu Tu's face was so gloomy it sent chills down one's spine. He gently comforted her, "Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. As for Shen Zhizhi, I will never let her go."

That day, he magnanimously let her go, simply because she was deeply in love with him, making it impossible for him to do it.

But if she bullies Ah Shou again and again, then he shouldn't blame him for being impolite.

“Brother Tu, A-Shou just doesn’t want his sister to misunderstand. You can explain it to her, but don’t hurt her.”

Shen Qinshou lay on Chu Tu's chest, sobbing uncontrollably.

But no one noticed that her small, delicate face was filled with a ferocious smile, and the hatred in her eyes was obvious.

Shen Zhizhi, you're dead this time.
