Chapter 130 No Prince Will Come to Save the Princess

It was early autumn, yet the ancestral hall was shady and cool.

When Qin Su was locked inside, it was as if she was instantly swallowed by darkness, and it took a while for her vision to slowly adjust to the surrounding darkness.

However, upon closer inspection of the surroundings, the first thing that catches the eye is the row of memorial tablets on the altar, which exudes a suffocating oppressive aura. One could say that someone with a weaker psychological capacity would be terrified by now.

Qin Su stared coldly at the memorial tablet, shifting her posture. The only kneeling cushion beneath her knees was cold and hard, making her very uncomfortable.

It is said that Qin Sangsang was often locked up here when she made mistakes as a child.

Of all the young masters and noble ladies in the Prime Minister's mansion, she was the most obedient, and she also received the most punishments.

It was as if she was born to undergo a tribulation in the human world.

"Tell me, if I set this place on fire, will the Qin family fight me to the death?"

The girl's clear and pleasant voice seemed to carry a hint of laughter, and her positive attitude made even the system want to give her a thumbs up.

System: [It'll probably just kill the host outright...]

Qin Su chuckled, showing no reverence whatsoever for the room full of "ancestors".

"You know what, being locked up here is actually a bit like a princess in a fairy tale being imprisoned and waiting for a prince to rescue her."

The system finally couldn't hold back: [Host, how can you still laugh...]

Qin Su countered, "What if you don't laugh? Cry? Sorry, I can't."

System: [Whatever makes you happy. No, I mean, no one here deserves to make you cry.]

Qin Su ignored it and finished her sentence: "Unfortunately, I am not a real princess, and I will not come."

The system instinctively asked, "Then what should we do?"

There was no way around it; these days it had gotten used to its host's complete control and everything proceeding according to her plan, and it was practically becoming a useless system.

Being locked up so suddenly like this, the system... the system is really not used to it.

Qin Su: "What can we do but lock him up?"

As she spoke, her fingers deftly tapped the long-unused medical system and began searching through it.

The system wanted to say that it had everything the host wanted and that there was no need to look at that stupid AI, but seeing Qin Su's serious expression, it ultimately said nothing.

After spending many days together, it has come to know its host very well.

She has her own rhythm and ideas, and once she's made up her mind, she won't listen to anything others say.

Sure enough, a moment later the quiet ancestral hall was filled with the girl's cheerful voice: "Found it."

Qin Su used her points to redeem what she wanted and then slowly injected herself into her arm.

Then, after disposing of the trash and changing position, she said, "I'm going to sleep now. You just need to keep me from getting too cold, and you don't need to worry about anything else."

The girl was smiling as she spoke, but the system detected a hint of ruthlessness in her voice.

I don't know who it's for...
-
Qin Su was locked up for three days. Apart from people bringing her food and water, no one opened the door to check on her.

Qin Qionghua finally waited for Qin Su to get into trouble, and wished she would die immediately, so she secretly tried to hinder her.

At her suggestion, the servants responsible for delivering meals would either deliberately bring her spoiled food to disgust her, or deliberately miss a meal or two, or forget to bring her water.

Aunt Xu wanted to come, but after being scolded several times by her scumbag father, she kept quiet. She didn't know what Qin Su was going to do, she just hoped that she wouldn't do anything reckless or would quickly admit her mistake so that she could get out sooner.

However, Qin Su couldn't hear any of this.
-
The first to notice something was wrong with Qin Su were actually the secret guards of the Eastern Palace.

"Miss Qin has been locked up for three days now. The door hasn't been opened, and the food hasn't been touched. We don't know what's going on inside."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Li stood up abruptly.

He did know that His Highness had some connection with Miss Qin when he left the palace a few days ago, but after returning, he ordered that no one was allowed to mention it.

He was a smart man, so naturally he wouldn't go against his master's wishes.

And yet, only a few days later, something happened?

"It's been three days, why are you only reporting this now? If something really happened to Miss Qin, can you take responsibility?"

He was so angry that he flicked his whisk and berated the guards, but what he felt more than anything was an unspeakable unease.

The bodyguard was also innocent; he was only responsible for keeping watch and couldn't possibly interfere with the Qin family's discipline of their daughter.

He wouldn't have dared to come back and report if he hadn't discovered that the food hadn't been touched.

"Fine, you come in with me, and you can speak to His Highness yourself!"

After speaking, Eunuch Li made a decisive decision and led his men inside.
-
In the side hall, Chu Junyan, dressed in the Crown Prince's everyday clothes, leaned lazily against the chair, his smooth, dark hair falling in front of him. His handsome face was calm and expressionless, like a Bodhisattva without joy or sorrow.

Seeing Eunuch Li lead his men in hurriedly, a strange light seemed to flash in his dark eyes: "What is it?"
-
Meanwhile, three days had passed at the Prime Minister's residence. Qin Rusong had finally calmed down and asked, "Does Qin Sangsang know she was wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang's eyebrows twitched slightly, but she said nothing and waited for the steward's reply.

The butler bowed and said, "Third Miss...Third Miss hasn't made a move yet." This meant she hadn't admitted her mistake.

After the butler finished speaking, the room was silent for a moment, then the man's deep voice rebuked, "She's gone too far!"

A cold, stern look flashed across Qin Rusong's face: "I didn't know I had such a stubborn daughter. Since she's so headstrong, then lock her up for a few more days! Lock her up until she obeys!"

The butler felt inexplicably uneasy and wanted to clarify things: "Master, actually, the third..."

"Don't you understand what the master is saying? Get down here!"

Unfortunately, the mistress did not give him that opportunity.

Before the butler could finish speaking, Zhang coldly interrupted him.

The butler choked. He knew about the tricks the madam had been up to in private these past few days. The fact that the third young lady hadn't made a move was probably related to her.

But seeing the old man's face, which wouldn't listen to anything, he silently closed his mouth again.

The Third Miss has been gaining power these past few days, but she doesn't know how to behave properly. Even if you help her, you might not get anything in return. Why offend the Madam for her sake?
After thinking it over, the steward convinced himself and bowed, replying, "Yes, this old servant takes his leave."

As soon as the butler left, Madam Zhang relaxed a little and, unusually, poured tea for Qin Rusong: "I told you long ago, sir, that children who aren't raised from a young age are just not docile, but you wouldn't listen. Now you know?"

Hearing the sarcasm in her words, Qin Rusong frowned, a flash of disgust crossing his eyes: "You'd better shut up..."

However, this one sentence somehow touched a nerve with Zhang, and she slammed the teacup back down, splashing water all over the table: "What did I say? Did I say something wrong? You've never cared for her since she was little, and you expect her to be filial to you when she grows up?"

"Can you please not speak so harshly!" Qin Rusong's face was grim; he was really annoyed by his wife's tendency to lose her temper so easily.
