Chapter 120 I Don't Want You Anymore

"Don't worry, I'll listen to you from now on."

Aunt Xu smiled obsequiously at Qin Su.

The girl in plain clothes nodded and smiled gently, "I hope Mother will keep her word."

"Yes, yes. Then I won't disturb your rest any longer, I'll go out now."

Aunt Xu's smile lasted until she stepped out the door, and then it vanished instantly.

What daughter? This is her ancestor!

After touching the gold bracelet on her wrist, she comforted herself: It's okay, it's okay. Whether I live or die, it's still just one day.

As long as she can enjoy life, what's wrong with that...?

"Aunt, you..."

"what!"

A sudden sound rang in her ear, startling Aunt Xu so much that she almost screamed. She quickly covered her mouth and whispered a rebuke:

"What are you doing! Walking silently like that, who are you trying to scare to death!"

As she spoke, she glanced nervously behind her.

Fortunately, there was no sound from inside, as if they hadn't heard anything. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and fiercely grabbed the little girl's hand: "Go! Don't make a sound!"

The girl, Xiao Hong, was being led away, but her eyes looked towards the closed room with a puzzled expression.

Wasn't it said that Aunt Xu treated the Third Miss badly? Why does she seem to be afraid of her?

If Aunt Xu could hear what the little girl was thinking, she would probably roll her eyes.
What do you mean by "seemingly scared"?
She was terrified!
Especially today, when she saw that the fickle young master would actually drive away the eldest young lady for his daughter, her fear reached its peak.

How could this be?
How did she do it?
Even with her mind completely tangled, Aunt Xu still couldn't figure it out.

She remembered her daughter saying that she hadn't gone to school, was slow-witted, and it was normal that she couldn't understand things.

She believed it.

Although she didn't understand why the young master had changed his attitude, she was clear about one thing—

She can't afford to offend this "Sang Sang" now; only by going along with her can she have a good life.

If you resist her...

Thinking back to those dark and hopeless days when I was locked up in the main courtyard.

Aunt Xu shuddered, and said to Xiao Hong, who had been assigned to serve her, with a mixture of fear and fierceness, "Be quieter in the future. Sangsang likes peace and quiet, so don't disturb her."

The little maid nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, Auntie, I'll remember."

At the same time, he became increasingly suspicious: This is different from what the nanny said.

Aunt Xu clearly cared about the Third Miss a lot, even thinking about not disturbing her sleep.

That night, Murong Jing had a long-awaited dream about his childhood.

In his dreams, there is always a little girl following behind him. No matter where he goes, as long as he turns around, she is always there.

"elder brother,"

"Brother Murong, wait for Sangsang!"

Where did you go? I thought you didn't want me anymore.

"It's okay, you go find your sister, I can manage on my own."

All the sweet and carefree past collapsed into ruins at the very last moment:
"Brother Murong, I don't like you anymore. I'm going to marry someone else."

The little girl spoke with a smile, yet it terrified him in his dream, as if he had lost the most precious treasure in his life.

"Sangsang!"

Murong Jing cried out and suddenly opened his eyes, only to realize that it had just been a dream.

It was clearly a dream, but the excruciating pain from the dream still lingered in my chest, leaving me feeling empty and lost, as if my heart was filled with endless regret and loneliness.

He raised his hand to his chest, his brows furrowed, still immersed in the emotions he had just experienced.

“Sang Sang…”

The next morning.

Qin Su was awakened by the hushed voices outside. She was a light sleeper and would wake up at the slightest sound.

It's actually not too bad here. With the help of the system's items, I've already slept quite a lot.

"what happened?"

She got out of bed and reached for the clothes beside her.

The system was speechless: [That scumbag is back.]

Qin Su: ?
It wasn't until Qin Su opened the door and went out that she realized Murong Jing had come to deliver ice so early in the morning.

It's important to know that ice was a luxury in ancient times. Even wealthy and powerful families might not have enough ice if they didn't have their own ice cellars.

So... what exactly is he playing at?
Qin Su stood at the door, watching the man standing under the tree directing the servants.

Murong Jing was wearing a brocade robe embroidered with white cranes today. At first glance, he looked handsome and dashing, clearly having dressed up specially.

Well, how should I put it? It's a bit like a male peacock trying to display its tail feathers to attract a mate.

No wonder the system disliked it so much.

But when he turned his head, Qin Su, with her excellent eyesight, quickly noticed the faint bluish tinge under his eyes.
He seemed somewhat absent-minded while speaking.

I clearly didn't sleep well last night, but I'm forcing myself to stay awake.

Murong Jing was talking to the servant when he suddenly seemed to sense something, turned around and saw the quiet girl standing at the door.

His eyes lit up, and he quickly walked over to her: "Sangsang, you're awake? Are you hungry? I bought breakfast and left it in the kitchen, would you like some?"

Qin Su didn't move or react, and asked the system, "Didn't you say that in the original story, it was 'Qin Sangsang' chasing after him?"

Then she looked at the man in front of her, his tail practically wagging.

Not quite like it.

The system replied irritably: "Who knows? Maybe he's just plain awful."

She liked him but didn't cherish him; she clearly rejected him, and then he started chasing after her again.

The system thought for a moment and then reminded the user: "Host, please don't be fooled by him. Men are all scumbags."

Then the system realized it seemed to have spoken too late—

"Okay, thank you for your trouble, Brother Murong. Have you gone to see Second Sister yet? You came to find me instead of going to see her. I hope she won't be angry."

Where did this green tea bitch come from!
East Palace, Bamboo Pavilion.

Sunlight streamed through the window lattice and shone directly onto the bamboo blinds, through which the shadowy figures could be vaguely seen.

The man, dressed in a bright yellow prince's robe, sat behind a low table. His usually gentle and dignified features now seemed to exude a chilling and murderous aura.

In his slender, jade-like hands lay a long letter, which detailed the young girl's life since returning to the manor from the Eastern Palace.

The heir of the Duke of Jin visited her at the Prime Minister's residence every day, and he also brought her herbs, breakfast, and even ice.

Because they were worried that she wouldn't eat well, they even brought a cook from the Duke's mansion.

And she did not refuse.

In addition, all the matchmaking arrangements made for her in the Prime Minister's residence have been suspended.

It wasn't that the stepmother, Madam Zhang, had changed her mind; rather, it was because Prime Minister Qin personally intervened and called for a halt.

As for the purpose, it goes without saying.

His Highness the Crown Prince stared at the letter in his hand with his dark eyes, his beautiful face displaying an inscrutable expression.

It was at this time that Ninth Princess Chu Ling'er came to find him.

"Let me in, I want to talk to my brother, the Crown Prince!"

"No, Ninth Princess, His Highness has given orders that no one should disturb us."

"I know, I'm not here to bother my brother, the Crown Prince. I really do have something to ask him!"

Even Eunuch Li couldn't help but twitch his lips upon hearing such shameless words:
