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

Chapter 119 The Crown Prince Bestows Rewards, and Some People Can't Sit Still.

Once Aunt Xu left, the room returned to silence.

Murong Jing looked at Qin Su, his dark eyes filled with worry: "Sang Sang..."

He was a little unsure what to say, afraid of accidentally hurting the girl's sensitive spot.

He knew that the little girl always cared about whether her mother loved her.

Sure enough, as if she could see through his worries, she gave a strong smile: "It's okay, Brother Murong, you don't need to comfort me, I'm used to it."

One sentence made the blame on Aunt Xu even heavier, and the heartache in the man's eyes became even more obvious.

He even regretted why he ran away, causing Sangsang to be hurt again.

"Oh, right, the medicine has already been brought over..."

Only after Murong Jing spoke did he realize that the medicine bowl was empty.

Hmm...it's empty?
He was somewhat surprised: "You've finished drinking?"

Qin Su gave a determined smile: "It's not bitter."

Murong Jing felt even worse and handed over the candied fruit in his hand: "How can medicine not be bitter? Don't try to fool me, sweeten your mouth."

She lowered her head and said, "Thank you."

The girl's movements were so natural that he subconsciously ignored them.

Didn't you take medicine? Why doesn't it smell like medicine at all?
Murong Jing wasn't in a hurry to leave, so he sat down and watched the little girl eat. Seeing that she had eaten several items, his eyes softened.

"Do you like it? If you do, I'll bring you more tomorrow."

As he spoke, he brazenly reached out to touch the little girl's head. Just as Qin Su's eyes flashed with disgust and she was trying to figure out how to dodge, she heard a commotion outside:
"How is Sangsang? Is she feeling better?"

It was Qin Qionghua!
-
Qin Qionghua waited for a long time but Qin Su did not come to see her. Instead, she received news that the little maid she had sent had been punished by the young master to kneel for offending her master.

master?

When did Qin Sangsang become worthy of being called "master"?
Perhaps Qin Qionghua had been truly angered by Murong Jing these past few days, and she had lost her temper.

She no longer maintained her usual image as a refined and unassuming noblewoman who never competed for anything, expecting everything to be delivered to her by others.

Accompanied by her maid, she stepped into the secluded courtyard she had always disliked for the first time.

"Sangsang, I've come to see you."

Murong Jing naturally recognized Qin Qionghua's voice and was visibly taken aback: "Why is Sister Qionghua here?"

Upon hearing this address, Qin Su's forehead twitched slightly.

"Sangsang, I'm going out to see what's going on..."

Murong Jing's voice trailed off as he noticed something was wrong with the little girl's expression. Her pale face wore a pitiful smile as she said, "It's alright, I'm just feeling a little unwell and dizzy. I can manage. I can't keep my sister waiting any longer, so please go and invite her in, Brother Murong."

Murong Jing's smile vanished: "How can that be? You're already ill and need to rest. Even if someone wanted to visit you, they shouldn't have chosen this time. You should rest; I'll go and send her away."

Qin Su was quite surprised to hear a man say something so intelligent for the first time.

However, she still insisted on maintaining her innocent and naive persona: "How can that be? It's been so many years, and it's rare for you to come all this way, how can I..."

"Why not?" Murong Jing also remembered that every time he tried to invite Qiong to come and see Sangsang, she had refused.

"Since you've never been willing to come before, there's no need to compete for this opportunity. You should rest."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Murong..."

The girl leaned there, her gentle and frail appearance overlapping with her childhood memories, which softened Murong Jing's already skewed heart even more, and his voice became much gentler: "You rest, leave everything to me."

After speaking, he strode out, his eyes filled with a hint of murderous intent. Qin Su sat by the bedside, watching, a faint smile playing on her slightly pinkish lips.

Let men solve the problems they cause. What's the point of this competition between women?
-
"Sister Qiong."

When Qin Qionghua saw Murong Jing come out of the room, a dark glint flashed in her eyes; she knew he was here.

"Your Highness, how is Third Sister? I heard she fainted. Is it serious? Should we..."

“Sangsang is fine. If Sister Qiong really cares about her, then go back. She needs to rest. Don’t disturb her.”

Murong Jing's words almost made Qin Qionghua break her fingernails.

She had traveled such a long and arduous journey to this dilapidated place, a place even the servants despised.

Not only was he not moved, but he also said that she had disturbed Qin Sangsang.
If it weren't for her image, Qin Qionghua would have even coldly questioned him about whether he had forgotten who she liked.

Isn't he afraid that treating her like this will make her ignore him?

Qin Qionghua remained silent, only looking at Murong Jing with her cold, clear eyes.

In the past, whenever she showed this expression, he would nervously start to reflect on what he had done wrong, and then humbly apologize.

But to everyone's surprise, Murong Jing was acting strangely today. Even though he could tell she was unhappy, he didn't go along with her wishes, instead sticking to his previous stance:

"Sister Qiong, you should go back now. I know you wouldn't be so insensible."

Qin Qionghua was completely stunned.

Does he know what he is talking about?
Murong Jing knew what he was saying.

He was just irritable, so irritable that even his favorite sister, Qiong, he had no patience to talk to her and just wanted her to leave quickly.

Thinking this way, he even urged again:
"You should go now, I need to go in and see Sangsang."

If you can go in, why can't I?
Are you sick?
Get this straight, I'm her older sister, you're nobody!

Qin Qiong almost bit his lip until it bled before forcing a smile: "Alright, I'll come another day. I brought ginseng for my third sister to help her recover, thank you for your help, Your Highness."

The last sentence even carried a hint of gritted teeth.

But the man either didn't understand, or he didn't care even if he did.

"Yes, I will give it to her. Sangsang is very grateful and will remember your kindness."

Qin Qionghua couldn't stay any longer and turned to leave, afraid that if she was too late, she would be furious.

As soon as she stepped outside, her face turned frighteningly pale, causing the maids beside her to fall silent in fear.
-
Murong Jing stayed in the side courtyard until dusk before leaving.

The cook also prepared a variety of dishes as requested.

After the meal, Aunt Xu finally found an opportunity to see her daughter again.

“Sangsang, you…”

"How have you been these days, Mother?"

Qin Su smiled and spoke, causing Aunt Xu to straighten up instinctively, inexplicably nervous: "Good, very good. Master has arranged for a young maid to come and serve me, and meals are being delivered. Not only that, Master himself has also come..."

What was once the life she had always longed for, now that she had actually obtained, Aunt Xu found herself unable to feel happy; instead, she was terrified…

The weather lately is really bad; it's too hot with the air conditioning off, and it gives me a headache when I turn it on.

I've already increased the temperature from 26 to 29 degrees Celsius to keep writing. My mom even suggested I just turn it off altogether to save electricity.

So what temperature do you all set your air conditioners to?
