Chapter 140: Watery

"Well-behaved, obedient, humble, sensible, and polite... it's a bit hard to imagine."

"Is there anything else? You left the palace in a great hurry, why?"

Qin Su guided the woman calmly and patiently, and the woman cooperated perfectly, giving excellent answers until Qin Su asked the question.

"Because of me, because..."

The woman's eyes began to move rapidly, and traces of struggle appeared on her previously empty face, as if she was trying to break free from her hypnotic control.

"because……"

Song began to show a pained expression, fear appearing on her face, as if she had recalled some memory that terrified her: "I... Ah!"

She let out a terrified cry, suddenly clutched her head, and miraculously broke free from Qin Su's hypnosis.

Qin Su sensed something was wrong. It seemed that this question had inadvertently touched on a traumatic memory. Her body activated its protective mechanism, allowing her to break free from the hypnosis.

There was no other way, so she had to stop: "Okay, it's all over now, and everything you were afraid of will never happen again. Calm your breathing, put your hands down, and stop thinking about it."

"Stand up, walk forward, don't look back. The moment you return home and step through the door, all memories of seeing me today will vanish..."

The girl's voice seemed to come from a distant, ethereal place, and the woman obediently stood up and slowly walked forward.

Xie Cisheng got off the carriage as soon as he heard the first scream, ready to come and rescue the person immediately.

But to everyone's surprise, after only a few steps, they saw Song stand up, abandon Sangsang, and leave, seemingly without any intention of harming anyone.

His steps slowed down until Song's figure disappeared from sight, then he started walking towards Qin Su again.

"How's it going? Are you injured?"

The girl shook her head, a helpless smile appearing on her fair and delicate face: "She wouldn't say, and if you pressed her, she would..." She didn't finish her sentence, but it was enough to leave much to the imagination.

Xie Cisheng fell for it: "Then I'll..."

“It’s alright, Brother Xie,” Qin Su interrupted him, looking up, her beautiful eyes seeming to speak volumes: “Thank you for today.”

The man stared at her blankly. Just as Qin Su thought something was wrong and was about to ask, he suddenly smiled, raised his hand and ruffled the girl's soft, long hair, his eyes gentle: "I've told you many times, you never need to say thank you to me."

Qin Su was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

Some even sighed: if she had the time, she would quite like to chat with a handsome, gentle guy.

But now...

"Brother Xie, let's go back."
-
Although the spring breeze was kept outside, it did not forget its duty.

As time went on, she gradually realized that something was wrong: "I have to see him no matter what."

With that in mind, she seized the opportunity, knocked out the guard who was watching her, and slipped inside...
-
"Trouble..."

Murong Jing, who was looking dejected, suddenly looked up when he heard the voice: "Sang Sang!"

However, the girl not far away clearly heard him, but only glanced at him indifferently, without any intention of coming over to greet him.

Seeing her leave like that, Murong Jing panicked and instinctively wanted to chase after her: "Sangsang, wait a minute..."

"Oh dear, young master! Don't move around, or you'll hurt yourself!"

The servant was startled and hurriedly stopped the person.

Murong Jing only remembered that one glance, the look in his eyes that seemed to be directed at a stranger…

His mind was in turmoil, and he grabbed the servant's clothes helplessly: "Where is Sangsang going? Why isn't she coming to see him?"

The servant didn't think much of it and said matter-of-factly, "Miss Sangsang is going to change her clothes. Isn't she going back?"

“Go back…” Murong Jing’s eyes flickered. “Just like that? She won’t even come to see me?”

Because the voice was too soft, the servant didn't hear clearly and asked, "What did you say, young master?"

However, Murong Jing remained silent, his eyes fixed on the doorway, looking like a puppy abandoned in the rain by its owner. The servant sensed something was amiss, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Fortunately, Qin Su did go to change her clothes, but she didn't actually leave.

After changing back into her own clothes, she came again, but stood a short distance away and did not approach: "Brother Murong, thank you for today."

The little girl's smile was beautiful, yet it gave him a feeling that he could never truly grasp her again: "Sang Sang..."

Murong Jing was a little flustered, though he didn't know why he was flustered.

Qin Su smiled at him and said, "I'm going back now. Take good care of yourself and recover."

After she finished speaking, she seemed ready to leave, her attitude overly perfunctory, a stark contrast to her earlier plea for help.

Murong Jing couldn't help but raise his voice: "Sang Sang!"

Qin Su was forced to stop and look over, her eyes asking if he had anything else to say.

As the spring breeze entered, it witnessed this scene and couldn't help but hold its breath—

"Sangsang, are you just leaving like this? Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Murong Jing tried to smile, but his smile was stiff, and his fingers gripped the brocade quilt beneath him tightly, with excessive force.

Qin Su was a little confused: "I already said thank you, didn't I?"

Murong Jing felt incredibly frustrated. Was it just a thank you? What did he want...?
He was stunned.

Sangsang shouldn't be so cold, as if he were a stranger.

No, not a stranger, more like a tool she used to meet her sweetheart...

This thought made Murong Jing feel like he was about to vomit blood.

Qin Su was indeed running out of patience: "If there's nothing else, I'll go now. I'm afraid my sister will get impatient..."

Qin Su left as soon as she finished speaking, not giving Murong Jing a chance to waste any more time.

In some ways, he was right; in her eyes, he was just a tool.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this "tool" will not be needed in the short term.

If you still want it, then we'll coax you later.

Qin Su has never had much patience for useless things.
"Sangsang!"

Seeing the girl's back, Murong Jing felt an inexplicable panic. He reached out to grab her, but couldn't grasp anything.

Looking at the empty doorway, his heart felt even emptier.

At that moment, he suddenly understood what it meant to be "hungry for gains and losses".

They weren't like this before...
-
"Miss!"

As soon as Qin Su stepped outside, she bumped into Chunfeng. A cold glint flashed in her eyes, but her face showed great surprise: "What are you doing here?"

Chunfeng gave an awkward laugh: "I was worried about Miss, so I followed her in."

"I see..." Qin Su nodded. "Then let's go back. My sister must be getting impatient."

Seeing that she didn't ask any further questions, Chunfengmo breathed a sigh of relief.

only……

"Isn't the young lady with you?"

She looked around and indeed there was no sign of Qin Qionghua.

Qin Su smiled, her expression unchanged: "My sister went to visit the Duchess."

Spring Breeze was shocked: She knew it!!!
