Chapter 72 Sangsang, I'm Back

Qin Su gently applied the medicine to the man's palm. It was cool and refreshing, and looked like an ordinary ointment, but it was actually produced by the system and had excellent effects.

"Okay, the pain won't hurt anymore after applying the medicine!"

The young girl's voice was soft, and after applying the medicine, she praised the man:

"With your help, young master, the children won't have to worry about firewood for a long time to come."

Chu Jiang suddenly spoke up: "You are not allowed to call me Young Master."

The little girl paused for a moment: "Then... Your Highness... hiss."

The hand that had been released suddenly gripped him again, with a force that hurt.

She looked up blankly and met the man's dark eyes, which were filled with dissatisfaction.

It was as if it were saying, "You're dead if you dare to scream."

"If you don't like it... then what should I call you?"

The little girl looked a bit lost, her brows furrowed.

Chu Jiang: "What do you think? What did you call me just now?"

"just?"

She seemed to think for a moment: "Ling..."

Then, perhaps out of shyness, she couldn't quite bring herself to call out, and the man impatiently tightened his grip, urging, "Hmm?"

She swallowed hard: "Ling Xiao?"

"Ah."

Chu Jiang released his grip: "If you call me by the wrong name again, you're dead."

The little girl didn't speak, but quietly looked at her hand being held, and gently pulled away: "Mmm."

The tense and gloomy atmosphere inside the carriage seemed to lighten considerably after this commotion.

The carriage continued on its way, and after an unknown amount of time, just as the driver quietly reminded them that they were almost at the Prime Minister's residence.

The man, who had been resting with his eyes closed the whole way, finally opened them: "Who is Murong Jing?"

Qin Su hadn't yet observed the street outside from inside the car. She was curiously looking out through the curtain when she suddenly heard the man's words, and her fingers, which were gripping the curtain, tightened inexplicably.

She maintained her original posture, her voice slightly soft: "Didn't I say? An older brother I've known since childhood."

"Really? But your expression doesn't seem to suggest it."

Who would have thought that a tyrant's intuition was so astonishingly sharp in this regard?

He reviewed the events of the day along the way and was surprised to find that...

What he cared about most wasn't the strange men who bothered him along the way, but "Murong Jing," who had only appeared once in his conversation.

He even had a gut feeling that the man who suddenly made the little girl cry in that courtyard was that man.

Chu Jiang thought about it more and more and it seemed possible. He had been holding back for so long that he finally couldn't help but speak up.

Upon hearing his question, Qin Su simply lowered her head and remained silent.

The girl's familiar, feigned-death reaction infuriated Chu Jiang, making him grit his teeth and vow fiercely in his heart:
One day, he will teach her a lesson about this bad habit!
At the same time, he silently repeated the name "Murong Jing" in his heart and crossed it out with an "X".
-
"Master, we're here."

The driver's quiet reminder rang out from outside.

The Prime Minister's residence is just ahead. Seeing Qin Su getting off the carriage is not a good sign.

Qin Su understood and took the initiative to speak: "Then I'll go back first. Do you want to eat..." Before she could finish saying "what," she saw the man close his eyes, clearly not intending to pay attention to her.

It was clear that her silent rejection had greatly angered him.

But surprisingly, he just sulked instead of getting angry.

Dr. Qin Su said: Very good, there has been progress.

Once the carriage curtain was lowered, Qin Su walked alone towards the side gate of the Prime Minister's residence. The system in her mind could no longer help but scream:
[Aaaaaaah, the tyrant is jealous! He's definitely jealous! Host, you're amazing!]

Qin Su: "Noisy." The system instantly shut up obediently: [Yes, host.]
-
Watching the little girl's figure disappear behind the door, the driver inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a low voice:
"Is Your Majesty wishing to return to the palace now?"

then……

"Go back? Why should we go back? With so many questions, even if you cut off my tongue and fed it to a dog, the dog wouldn't eat it!"

The innocent coachman, who had somehow offended the Seventh Prince again, thought: "See? I knew driving a carriage wasn't so easy!"
Chu Jiang: "Let's go inside. We're not going back today!"

The surrounding guards: !!!
No, Your Highness, you are still the Crown Prince and cannot stay overnight outside the palace at will!

But would a tyrant in a bad mood listen?
Listen to my ass!
The fact that he didn't make everyone as unhappy as he was was already his last act of mercy!
[Host, the male lead has returned to the capital.]

Qin Su, having worked hard all day, was soaking in the bathtub, applying a face mask and enjoying a rare moment of peace when she suddenly heard the system's words, and her brows furrowed:

"Why bring up dead people? It's bad luck!"

From the day she transmigrated into the book, the scumbag male character from the original story had already died in her heart.

It's fine if you don't provoke her, but if the other party dares to be reckless and try to get close to her, that's a different story.

She told him to find out why "flowers are so red".

However, this idea was almost shattered by her own hands just the very next day—

When the doorbell rang, Qin Su was having lunch with Aunt Xu.

Thanks to the Crown Prince's "attention," the scumbag father seems to have finally remembered that he has a third daughter.

For the past two weeks, the kitchen has been delivering meals to us on time every day.

At first, Qin Su thought she had been poisoned. She only started eating after the system checked and confirmed that there was no problem.

After all, with the tyrant gone, she had no desire to continue playing the role of a "virtuous little cook."

"Who?"

When Aunt Xu heard the knocking, her first reaction was to look at her daughter beside her.

Seeing that she didn't intend to get up and open the door, he stood up willingly.

However, after opening the door and seeing who it was, she slammed the door shut again.

"Oh no, oh no, oh no, something terrible is going to happen, something terrible is going to happen..."

Aunt Xu subconsciously glanced at the neighboring house, which was separated by only a wall, then at the wooden door she had just closed, and then at her daughter eating steadily in the courtyard…

Instead of calming down, my heart became even more panicked.

Although she pretended to be deaf and dumb, she still knew that the person living next door was her daughter's lover... oops, friend, her daughter's "good friend".

During this period, all the delicious food and drinks she had never seen before were gifts from the wild man next door.

This...this...she had almost forgotten about the young master, how did he suddenly reappear?
Just as Aunt Xu was racking her brains, almost to the point of exploding,

After waiting a while and seeing no one answer the door, the man knocked again: "Aunt Xu, I'm looking for Sangsang, is she inside?"

You big dummy!

Aunt Xu was internally rife with rage, but on her face she managed an awkward and guilty smile: "Daughter, someone is looking for you at the door."

Qin Su: "Who?"

Aunt Xu didn't know how to answer: "You'll see when you see it..."

After this period of "education," Qin Su knew that Aunt Xu wouldn't dare to offend her, and she became somewhat curious about her appearance.

"Who?"

She walked to the door to see who it was, but Aunt Xu had already run ahead of her, saying, "Mother is tired and is going back to her room to rest," faster than the wind.

Qin Su was speechless and could only open the door herself.

The door opened, and the person in the doorway looked up. With striking features and a handsome, deep-set face, he wore a smile so familiar it made her heart ache.

"Sangsang, I'm back."
