"You want me to seduce the Crown Prince? Why are you crying now that I've entered the pala

Chapter 46 She is a "Miracle"

Qin Su was not convinced and her gaze fell on the box in front of her.

This plot point shouldn't exist in the original work.

At this point in the original story, she had become infamous because of Aunt Qiu and her daughter, and was not allowed to leave the house at all, so naturally she had not come to the embroidery shop.

She took the box, opened it, and the familiar scent of herbs wafted out.

It really is hand cream.

Embroidery is a delicate craft, and no matter how gifted the original owner was, without external protection, it could not withstand the wear and tear of nature.

Xie Cisheng is indeed a good person. He even cares about such small details for the female lead. How can that not be considered caring?
In comparison, the male lead, who only shows concern verbally—or rather, whose concern has almost disappeared—is even more of a jerk.

"Please thank Brother Xie for me."

Qin Su accepted it without much hesitation.

Seeing that the task was completed, Zhao Niangzi breathed a sigh of relief: "The embroiderer's hands must be well protected. You can't ruin them like you used to."

Qin Su knew what she was talking about, gave a polite but awkward smile, and then handed over the embroidery she had accumulated.

Sure enough, upon seeing the embroidery she handed over, Zhao Niangzi, who was about to say something, was immediately distracted: "This... is this something you embroidered recently? It seems like you've improved again. Like I said, if you're willing to stay at the embroidery shop, we can discuss the wages!"

Zhao Niangzi's excitement seemed genuine, and Qin Su continued to smile.

The original owner of this body was a heroine from the old days who knew how to embroider and cook. She was kind and hardworking. If she hadn't been burdened by that unfortunate plot, she could have made a living by doing anything. Why would she have ended up living like the character in the book?
-
Unsurprisingly, the entire process of Qin Su going out to sell her embroidery was relayed back to Chu Jiang.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan, who had "lost" the bet, was kneeling in the courtyard.

It's a little embarrassing, but mostly I feel lost.

The Seventh Prince actually didn't kill him!
He recalled the gentle yet firm tone in Miss Qin's voice, and his confusion deepened.
How long have she known His Highness? Why does she trust him so much?

Even his servants, who had followed him for many years, couldn't believe it.

Perhaps that's what makes her special?

After this incident, Ye Fan did not develop hatred for Qin Su; on the contrary, his feelings towards her became even more complicated.

If Miss Qin could stay by His Highness's side indefinitely, would it bring about a "miracle"?
Unaware that she was being regarded as a miracle by the tyrant's men, Qin Su wandered the streets for a while after leaving the embroidery shop.

Even with the original owner's memories, the feeling of walking on the streets of ancient times is different.

"I really want to buy it."

Her eyes lit up as she looked at the street stalls. If the system hadn't kept reminding her that someone was following and monitoring her, she would have really wanted to buy something.

Unfortunately, as an "accident" that appeared beside the tyrant, these things were destined to happen from the moment she approached him.

"Give me a candied hawthorn!"

Finally, as they passed by the vendor hawking candied hawthorns for the second time, Qin Su couldn't help but call out to stop him.

Her eyes lit up when she tasted the ancient candied hawthorn.

good to eat!

Little did she know that this appearance, in the eyes of her follower, became evidence of her "pitifulness"—

"She walked all the way just to buy a candied hawthorn. This Miss Qin is a bit pitiful."

"Who says otherwise? What young lady is so poor that she needs to work two jobs and secretly sell her embroidery at an embroidery shop?"

The other person paused for a moment before realizing what "double work" meant.

"Indeed... Your Highness isn't very generous."

One sentence silenced everyone around: "How dare you speak ill of His Highness? You have a death wish!"
-
"That's enough, let's go back."

Following the original owner's habits, Qin Su went to a familiar shop to buy some commonly used items before renting a car on East Street to go back.

Sitting in the swaying and bumping carriage, she kept her brows furrowed, but didn't utter a single complaint.

When she returned to the Prime Minister's residence, the gatekeeper was surprised to see her carrying things back and went to help her.

But after discovering that he had brought back nothing of value, he returned it to Qin Su, saying, "Third Miss, please take care. I have some things to attend to, so I won't be able to help you any further."

Qin Su: ……

"Don't be angry, host. Everyone here is like this; it's not just targeting you," the system tried to comfort.

Qin Su: "Are you sure?"

The system went silent for a moment.

Okay, this is just targeting you.

After all, they wouldn't dare to be so perfunctory when the other masters of the manor went out.

Qin Su once again felt the difficult living conditions the original owner of the body had experienced in the mansion. She sighed inwardly and continued forward.

"If I bring things to see Aunt Xu, won't they be confiscated?"

Upon hearing this, the system searched the original novel and concluded: "Yes, they will. Although the people in the main courtyard look down on the female lead, they won't let any opportunity to take advantage of her pass by."

Qin Su: "Understood."

She looked down at the things in her arms and finally determined that the most valuable items were the "medicine pack" and the "hand cream".
-
"Your Highness, Miss Qin has returned."

Chu Jiang had just returned from the martial arts arena after venting his energy when he encountered the guard who had been responsible for tracking the little girl back that day.

He sneered, "So what if I'm back? Do I have to go and greet me?"

Seeing that he didn't stop walking, the guard became a little anxious: "She, she's injured."

The man, who had been striding forward, stopped abruptly, his eyes flashing with murderous intent as he looked over: "What do you mean? Who hurt her?"

As I asked that question, the image of that stubborn, annoying little girl being robbed outside flashed through my mind.

"She must have been injured in the main hospital? She seemed fine before she came back."

The man thought for a moment and added, "She brought back fewer things too."

Once again, Chu Jiang realized just how pitiful Qin Sangsang's life was in the Prime Minister's mansion.

He felt a pang of pity for her, and even considered agreeing with those fools' suggestion to keep her by his side and under their protection.

Who dares to bully his people!

However, he forcefully suppressed this thought.

That unpleasant girl is not one of his people. He warned her not to go out, but she still dared to leave. She deserves to be bullied.

"She deserves it!"

Just as the messenger was secretly hoping that the Seventh Prince would take pity on the young girl and change his mind, he heard his vicious words:
"She brought this on herself; it's all her own doing."

Guard: Yes, boss's words were indeed false. He actually expected His Highness's cold heart to feel sympathy. He was dreaming.
-
"Miss Qin, please wait a moment. I have something I'd like to say to you."

As expected, Qin Su, who had been "robbed," was stopped by the old imperial physician who had prescribed medicine for her the other day when she brought her dinner over.

Her face looked somewhat haggard, and her eyes, which had been lively yesterday, seemed shrouded in gloom today.

"Are you here to fetch food for His Highness? Here you go."

As Qin Su spoke, she handed over the food box she was holding.

Her words made Imperial Physician Su's heart skip a beat, and he felt uneasy. He didn't reply, "No, please trouble Miss Qin with the meal delivery. His Highness likes your cooking very much and will be even happier to see you."

The girl tried to force a smile, but for some reason, it looked rather pitiful: "You're joking. His Highness is of noble status, how could he possibly like my cooking? It was just something new for him."

Seeing her like this, Imperial Physician Su felt even more uneasy. He also began to agree with what Chief Guard Ye had said that day: Qin Sangsang, before knowing His Highness's identity, showed little fear and acted naturally, which was why she gained His Highness's approval.

If they find out who I am and start to be afraid, where will they find another "miracle"?

"Since you're here, then I'll trouble you..."

Qin Su wanted to hand the food box over, but this time Imperial Physician Su reacted quickly: "No, no, you go in by yourself. We'll talk after you come out."

Seeing the old man leave with a nimbleness beyond his years, Qin Su was momentarily dazed: Are all the people around the tyrant so dramatic?
The system, having accidentally read its host's thoughts: ...Is there anyone in this world more dramatic than you, host? You're too modest.
-
Having failed in her mission, Qin Su took a deep breath and knocked on the door: "Your Highness...may I come in?"

The room was quiet and still, without a sound, and no one even knew if anyone was inside.

Undeterred, Qin Su asked twice more, "Can I go in?" "Can I go in?"

Undoubtedly, no one inside spoke; they were determined to ignore her.

Qin Su tightened her grip on the food box, her face growing increasingly disappointed. "It seems no one's here. I'll leave the food box outside. When they come back, they should see it, right?"

After saying what seemed like a monologue, she put down the food box and prepared to leave.

The next moment, a male voice, filled with gritted teeth, came from the room:

"You're dead if you dare leave!"

Qin Su paused: "You're inside..."

Chu Jiang: "Get in here!"

Qin Su paused for a moment, then took a deep breath and pushed open the door.

As soon as the door opened, a cool breeze wafted in, which felt very comfortable.

Qin Su's eyes flickered before she finally focused her gaze on the incomparably handsome figure in front of the table.

"Aside from his expressionless face, he's really good-looking."

She spoke to the system in her mind, then stepped inside, a smile on her face: "You're in there. I thought you didn't want to see me..."

As she spoke, she placed the food box on the table and took out the dishes inside.

Four dishes and a soup—this was truly a very simple meal for Chu Jiang's status.

However, Qin Su doesn't have much time each day, so preparing these things is already quite good.

She was getting the food, and only after she had put everything down did she realize that the tyrant had been watching her the whole time.

His expression was incredibly focused; if Qin Su hadn't already known that this person had no heart, she would have blushed.

"W-What's wrong?" She looked at him shyly. "Is there something on my face?"

Chu Jiang snorted: "Can't you look in the mirror to see if it's dirty?"

Good, good, there's really no surprise at all.

Chu Jiang clenched his fist again before slowly relaxing it.

He would never tell this idiot that he had just been checking where she was injured.

His right cheek was a little redder than usual, and there were some marks on his ear, so it seemed he had really been hit.

He really didn't understand why there was such an unlucky woman who was bullied by someone at any time.
If he hadn't met this person in person, he would have suspected that this person was deliberately trying to annoy him.

What a pushover!

The Seventh Prince grew angrier the more he thought about it, and his hand became increasingly rough, until a "crack" was heard.

He snapped the chopsticks in his hand.

Both of them were momentarily stunned.

Qin Su also looked at the chopsticks, blinked, and hesitated, "Is today's food really that bad?"

Chu Jiang: ...See? He knew this guy was an idiot!

Can't you tell he was angered by her?
How dare you ask what dishes are bad!

"Yes! It tastes awful, absolutely awful!"

He threw down his chopsticks and said in a harsh voice, "Someone come here!"

Qin Su opened her mouth as if to say something, but then someone quickly came in from outside: "Your Highness!"

Chu Jiang: "Change the chopsticks."

The servant, thinking there might be some important instructions: Hmm?

"Can't you understand people?"

"Yes! Right away!" The servant snapped back to reality and hurriedly took away the broken bowls and chopsticks.

Qin Su, who thought he would say he would take all the food away, said: "If it's not good, you don't have to force yourself."

Chu Jiang looked up when he heard the figure and found that the girl's eyes were clean and gentle. She was not angry because of his malicious slander and was still the soft and gentle girl he knew.

It was as if the argument and rebuttal I had with him yesterday was just a dream.

Before he could think for long, a servant quickly brought in clean chopsticks.

Chu Jiang swallowed the rest of his words: "You can leave now, there's no need to collect it today."

Qin Su paused for a moment, then nodded and left without saying anything.

Ever since the mention of not having enough tableware, a set of exquisite and expensive porcelain has appeared in the kitchen. According to the system, it is all for imperial use.

So it's okay even if it's not recycled.

Qin Su left decisively, unaware that as soon as she left, the man behind her kept staring at her back, his gaze burning as if he wanted to see through her.

You idiot, you idiot, you idiot!

Why would he worry about such an idiot!
-
"Miss Qin."

As soon as Qin Su came out, Imperial Physician Su appeared again: "Do you have time to chat?"

She gave her usual smile: "Please go ahead."

The little girl's obedient and adorable appearance even moved Imperial Physician Su, who was used to the Seventh Prince's irritable and crazy nature.

It's so pitiful that such a cute little girl has been ruined by His Highness.

"Miss Qin's influence on His Highness is undeniable. When you're around, His Highness's temper is much better than usual. And only you can soothe His Highness when he's in a rage..."

Physician Su felt a little embarrassed when he thought about his request.

Qin Su: "I'm just cooking, I'm not that good, are you...?" Before she could finish saying "You've got a mistake," she heard the old man say...
"I have a favor to ask: could Miss Qin please take care of His Highness?"

The girl looked confused: "What?"

“I have been treating His Highness with acupuncture these past few days, and it seems to be working. However, His Highness is becoming increasingly irritable. So I hope Miss Qin can spend more time with His Highness and try to comfort him. Only when His Highness is in a good mood will the treatment be effective.”

Physician Su pleaded, "Of course, we won't treat you unfairly. As long as you're willing, the wages are negotiable."

And most importantly, that person might be coming back, so nothing unexpected can happen in the next couple of days.

Of course, Qin Su doesn't need to know this; in fact, she might not even see him when he returns.

Qin Su was taken aback for a moment: "I'm afraid I don't have the ability to enlighten you, young master. I just..."

"Please don't refuse immediately, Miss Qin. Please consider it. His Highness hasn't had a good night's sleep in a long time..."
