Chapter 45: Isn't the tyrant the male third party?

Qin Su was taken aback, seemingly not understanding why the man asked that question.

She shook her head: "No, I'm fine."

She has a sweet smile and bright eyes, and looks very sweet and lovely.

Chu Jiang snorted and looked away.

He laughs all the time, like a fool, without even knowing what he's so happy about.

[Ding—System notification: The favorability of the character [Chu Jiang] has reached 9%, points +100. Please keep up the good work.]

Another system notification suddenly popped into her mind, and Qin Su even joked with the system, which was rare for her: "Your points are pretty easy to earn."

System: We suspect this host is in Yin-Yang, but we have no evidence.

The man's expression remained unchanged; if it weren't for the system voice in her mind, Qin Su wouldn't have been able to tell if he was in a better mood.

But that didn't stop her from continuing to cause trouble: "Also, I have to go out tomorrow to see some friends, so I probably won't be able to cook for you..."

His voice was a little soft, and he sounded somewhat guilty.

Qin Su was prepared for the man to lose his temper as usual, but to her surprise, Chu Jiang was very quiet this time, without making a sound or being as sarcastic as usual.

She was a little curious and looked up at him, only to meet his gaze.

"You have friends too?"

His slightly sarcastic tone was as irritating as ever, and it was genuine and not surprising at all.

Qin Su widened her eyes and looked at him with a hint of anger: "Of course! Wouldn't it be too lonely to live without friends!"

This statement is subtly barbed and somewhat intended to discourage men.

But she didn't do anything so foolish as to ask, "Don't you have one?"

If anyone asks, things might get messy today.

After all, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this person might not actually exist. :)

Seeing that the tyrant didn't react much, Qin Su's eyelashes trembled, and she spoke seemingly casually:
“He is a very good person, just like the young master. If it weren’t for his help, my mother and I might not even be able to afford to eat.”

Chu Jiang keenly noticed the words "Zhou Ji" and asked directly, "Zhou Ji, you?"

The little girl in front of me had the same gentle and innocent smile as always, with a touch of naive cruelty: "Pretty much. Only if he is willing to accept my embroidery can I have money to buy medicine and rice for my mother."

Chu Jiang had seen Qin Su's embroidery before; even someone as discerning as him could be attracted by its exquisite craftsmanship.

If someone with her skill level can't find a buyer, then what about those less skilled than her? They'll starve, unless...

A thought flashed through his mind, and the man's annoying smile returned: "You're so stupid, you didn't get scammed, did you?"

It was just an ordinary sentence, but who would have thought that the usually good-tempered girl would get angry with him for the first time:

"Of course not! Brother Xie is a good person, he would never lie to me. Not only me, he has also helped many poor people."

Chu Jiang's smile vanished, his voice turning cold: "A man?"

Qin Su seemed oblivious, nodding, "Yes. What's wrong?"

Those were still the same beautiful, mesmerizing eyes, but now they were a thorn in Chu Jiang's side.

"It's nothing." He chuckled and looked away, his expression not good.

Qin Su: "Then it's settled. I won't be coming tomorrow, young master..."

"Who told you that?" Chu Jiang's face darkened, his aura particularly intimidating: "You're not allowed to go."

Qin Su was a little confused: "Why? I..."

"There's no reason why. I said no, and that's final. Do you want to disobey me?"

Chu Jiang was furious; his gloomy and ruthless gaze could frighten anyone who looked at him.

But strangely enough, this little girl in front of him seemed to be able to always block out his threats and intimidation.

Seeing his domineering and authoritarian attitude, she stood up as well: "I don't want to! I promised to see Brother Xie a long time ago, so of course I can't go back on my word. If you don't want to, just pretend you don't know! Anyway, I'm definitely going tomorrow!"

The last sentence was spoken softly, with a hint of weakness, but he still managed to finish it with strength.

Before the man could react, she turned and ran outside, not even bothering to clear away the dishes.

Chu Jiang stared at her retreating figure, his chest heaving violently.

No one had ever dared to speak to him like that before; she really wanted to die!
When an argument breaks out inside, the people outside get nervous.

When Qin Su ran out, Ye Fan was the first to stop her: "Miss Qin, what happened? His Highness..."

"I don't know, go ask him yourself!"

The little girl finished speaking quickly and urgently, her eyes reddening as if she was about to cry.

Ye Fan was stunned for a moment, and she took the opportunity to shake off his hand and run away.

Ye Fan: ? ? ?
He subconsciously looked up and met the gaze of someone hiding in the tree:

Should I be shocked that Your Highness was so oblivious to making the little girl cry?

He was still shocked that someone dared to speak to His Highness like that, and he didn't get angry or kill him.

Just as I was thinking this, a loud "bang" rang out in the room.

Then came the sound of porcelain shattering on the ground.

The man's angry voice rang out: "Get in here!"

When Ye Fan looked up again, the person in the tree swiftly pulled their head back, faster than a turtle hiding its head.

he:%&&……

I have so much to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not.

Taking a deep breath, he walked in, maintaining the noble and aloof demeanor befitting a chief bodyguard of the crown prince.

Then, in a second, he slid to his knees and said, "Your subordinate greets Your Highness!"

Surprisingly, Chu Jiang didn't go berserk as usual when he saw people, but instead—

"Keep a close eye on her tomorrow. If she dares to take a single step outside, kill her!"

Ye Fan: ? ? ?
"Dare to disobey me, break her legs!"

Ye Fan: So, should we kill her or break her legs? Please be clear!

No, what happened that made you so angry, and you're still thinking of cleaning up tomorrow?

When did you become so tolerant?
[Host, the tyrant is furious with you and is currently raging.]

The system was terrified; it had just thought its host was about to die inside.

Are you out of your mind to talk to a tyrant like that?
Qin Su: "It's frustrating, but get used to it. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

System: [Yes, yes, yes, host is right...]

Wait, host, do you want to listen to what you just said?

The system checked its memory and, confirming it hadn't misheard, asked again: "[The host said he's going to see Xie Cisheng, is that true?]"

Qin Su: "Of course it's true. Would I lie to anyone?"

Although a tyrant is not even considered a human being in her eyes.

[But Xie Cisheng is a devoted male supporting character; if the host were to appear, he would definitely fall in love with you.]

In the original novel, Xie Cisheng was one of the more popular male supporting characters. If the female lead hadn't been so stubborn and devoted to her childhood sweetheart, the scumbag male lead, he would have been one of her best choices.

The young master of the world's number one embroidery shop, though a merchant, is refined and elegant, without a trace of greed. He always appears by the heroine's side when she needs help most, solving her problems and removing obstacles.

Compared to the male lead who only trusts bad guys and doubts and hurts the female lead, Xie Cisheng's role is simply the perfect second male lead!
"Hmm, what, do you think I don't deserve to be loved?"

Qin Su's single sentence nearly caused the system's CPU to burn out.

After a long, buzzing sound, the system finally pieced together the dialogue: [The host's target is a tyrant. The appearance of a male supporting character will affect your mission. Furthermore, if you know the tyrant's personality...]

"According to your logic, the tyrant is the male third party, right?"

system:? ? ?
Qin Su spoke softly, "I'm just following the original plot. It's definitely not because I'm curious about what the gentle male supporting character looks like. I'm not that much of a scumbag. System, you'll definitely believe me, right?"

System: [Of course the system trusts the host...]

The system then quickly reviewed Qin Su's life story and promptly modified the last sentence to: "...You probably won't believe it, given that the host's eighteen previous boyfriends."

Qin Su: "Oh."

Just as the system was thinking its host had some terrifying thoughts, it heard the girl say the next sentence: "A good ex should be like someone who is dead. Why should I care about the thoughts of a dead person?"

System: [6.]
-
“Miss Qin, please go back. His Highness said that you cannot go out today.”

The next morning, Qin Su dressed up according to her memory and prepared to go out.

Because she was in a good mood, she even bought a set of cosmetics from the system store at a high price. After applying the makeup, she looked as fresh and tender as a spring apricot on a branch, which was very tempting.

To everyone's surprise, when the door opened, she was met with a cold face with a distant smile.

she:?

Ye Fan felt aches in his bones just thinking about the ordeal he had yesterday.

They could have simply taken him in as a concubine, but they refused.

If you don't want it, why are you restricting other people from going out? Are you sick in the head?
He subtly hinted at his idea to Liu Ying, receiving a surprised look in return: "You only found out he's sick today?"

He: Fine! They're all a bunch of lunatics! Only a fool would talk to him!
"why?"

After a brief moment of surprise, Qin Su opened her beautiful, watery eyes and looked at the man in front of her.

why?
I want to know why even more than you do!
"There's no reason why, it's His Highness's order..."

"I'm sorry, I have to go out today."

When this usually easy-going girl becomes stubborn, she can be surprisingly difficult to deal with.

"Excuse me, could you please move aside?" the little girl said in a gentle but firm voice.

Ye Fan felt a headache for the first time and didn't know how to deal with it.

If it were someone else, he wouldn't bother with it; he'd just close the door, throw them in, and that would be it.

But ironically, this person who could calm down the mad prince was also a gentle and kind-hearted young girl.

Even if he's a complete scoundrel, he wouldn't dare treat her the way he treats his subordinates or prisoners!
Moreover, according to the Emperor's wishes, this woman was already a chosen member of the royal family, so he dared not truly offend her.

Finally, he decided to resort to the despicable tactic of feigning injury:
"Please have pity on me, young lady. If I fail to fulfill His Highness's orders, he will kill me."

To everyone's surprise, Qin Su shook her head: "No way."

Ye Fan didn't understand: "What?"

"He won't kill you."

Ye Fan gave a helpless twitch of his lips, thinking that although Miss Qin had some special feelings for His Highness, she still didn't understand him.

There is no one he won't kill.

Seemingly seeing through his thoughts, the little girl spoke again: "If you don't believe me, we can make a bet. If you let me out, even if the young master is really angry, he won't kill you. He's not the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately."

Ye Fan, who was about to refuse after hearing the first half of the sentence, changed his expression from awkward to somewhat indifferent after hearing the whole sentence.

He didn't know where Qin Sangsang's trust in the Seventh Prince came from, but he did know that his brother, who had died just a few days ago, still had soil on his fresh grave.

The Seventh Prince is not one to indiscriminately kill innocent people... Ha.

Even though the man tried to hide it, the hatred in his eyes did not escape Qin Su's notice.

The system seemed a little nervous and tried to persuade the host to just bear with it, then it went silent the next second.

"If you don't believe me, you can try it."

The girl still had a smile on her face, but her clear and bright eyes had become unfathomable.

“Go and tell him I’m leaving. If I fail, I can grant you any request.”

With such a flawed bet, if he were to "fail," he might even lose his life. What "requirements" would he need?

But this man, who was known as the most reliable head guard, inexplicably agreed.

“If you agree, go back to him. Remember to tell him what I said: ‘I believe he will not kill innocent people indiscriminately.’”

The man nodded: "You trust him; he won't kill innocent people indiscriminately."

Hidden in the trees, Liu Ying kept an eye on her master while secretly glancing over here.

I saw Ye Fan talking to Qin Su, but unfortunately I couldn't hear his voice.

He knew His Highness's orders, and he estimated that Miss Sangsang wouldn't be able to leave today.

Just as he was shaking his head, preparing to continue looking at the room, he saw Ye Fan turn around and come back.

Then, the next moment, Qin Su, who was standing at the door, also stepped out.

Liu Ying: "Tsk, Ye Fan is such a useless guy, he can't even stop a little girl..."

and many more!

What the hell?
Liu Ying realized something and tried to stop him, but Ye Fan had already flown over the wall. He didn't know whether to stop Qin Su or ask this idiot what he was doing!
[Host, you're just leaving like that?] The system was a little uneasy; this was the third time it had seen the host hypnotize someone.

It still frightens the system.

With such amazing abilities, it felt like it was no longer useful.

Qin Su: "Let's go."

With such a great opportunity, why not go out and explore? Why is she always revolving around the tyrant? Is she even his mother?
Having learned of Qin Su's thoughts, the system checked the progress bar again:

That's 8%, meaning they've already outpaced 80% of the strategy players.

Let them go then; I'm sure the host has their own reasons.

(In reality, they simply know they can't persuade him.)
With Zhang's permission, Qin Su's trip went very smoothly.

The doorman didn't stop her, and she easily went out the door.

As for why there was no carriage for the Third Miss to ride in after leaving the Prime Minister's residence?

What? The wind is so strong, I can't hear you.

Qin Su glanced at the servant who had turned away and ignored her, and curled the corners of her lips. How interesting, this is how they fawn over the powerful and flatter the weak.

One day, even if the people in this mansion beg her to come back, she won't.

[Host, that sounds like something a villain would say.]

Qin Su: "Shut up."

【Okay, host! 】
-
"Brother Xie isn't here?"

"Yes, the boss waited for you, Sangsang, for several days until yesterday when he had to leave the capital. Before leaving, he specifically instructed me to leave this for you."

System: [Host, do you think the tyrant would laugh at you if he knew you never even saw the person?]
