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

Chapter 170 Don’t be afraid, I’m here
"Don't cry, tell me what happened?"

Chu Jiang suppressed his emotions and comforted the person in his arms. If he didn't know that no one would dare to mistreat the little girl on his turf, none of the people present would have escaped today.

The others had no idea what their crazy prince was thinking, but they were so captivated by his gentle and coaxing manner that their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Qin Su shook her head, sobbing as if she couldn't speak clearly. She tugged at the man's sleeve, trying to lead him outside: "Let's talk as we walk..."

Chu Jiang, of course, wouldn't refuse and was pulled away by her.

The steward seized the opportunity to step forward: "Your Highness, the carriage is ready and waiting outside."

Seeing Chu Jiang looking over, and the girl who had been saying "we'll talk as we walk" only focusing on walking and not offering any explanation, the butler had no choice but to repeat what he had just said: "There was a fire in Chongxian Lane, the courtyard where Miss Sangsang used to live..."

Chu Jiang's eyes sharpened immediately. He knew better than anyone how filial the little girl was to her mother: "Then what about Aunt Xu?"

The steward hurriedly said, "Your Highness, rest assured, Consort Xu has already moved to a new residence and is guarded by secret guards. This fire did not affect her."

Chu Jiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as nothing happened, that was fine...

"Everyone else is fine, only Mother's house was damaged. If... if Mother had been inside at the time..."

The little girl spoke, as if she had thought of something terrible; her slender figure trembled, and her face turned even paler.

She clutched the man's sleeve, her words tumbling out in a panic: "Is it...is it my fault? If I hadn't brought Mother out with me, maybe this wouldn't have happened? Everyone was gone, how could there be a fire? I can't bear to think about it..."

Sensing the girl's panic and fear, Chu Jiang couldn't help but pull her into his arms: "How is this your fault? Besides, would everything have been alright if you hadn't brought anyone with you? Have you forgotten what happened in the manor?"

Qin Su's sobs stopped abruptly. She looked up at him blankly, revealing a pair of tearful eyes that made Chu Jiang's heart ache.

He lowered his head and gently kissed away the girl's tears: "Don't cry, I'm here. I will definitely find out the truth and give you an explanation."

Seeing this, the others hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look any longer.

Qin Su buried her face in the tyrant's arms and sobbed, venting her fear through her tears.

His mind was racing, trying to figure out how to make the most of this opportunity.

Outside the Seventh Prince's residence, the coachman was indeed already harnessed and waiting.

Chu Jiang looked at the restless girl in his arms who had failed to mount the horse several times, and suddenly helped her into the carriage: "Don't worry, your mother has someone protecting her in secret, she will be fine."

"Really? You're not lying to me."

When Chu Jiang was looked at by the little girl's soft, tearful eyes filled with dependence, his heart felt as if it had been struck hard.

A surge of emotion he had never felt before welled up within him: no matter the cost, he was determined to protect the person in his arms and would never let her cry again, no matter who it was because of.

"Of course it's true, I promise this kind of accident will never happen again," he said earnestly, looking into her eyes.

Qin Su looked at him, blinked, and tears rolled down her eyelashes. Even her crying was as beautiful as a painting.

"I trust you……"

As she spoke, she tightened her grip on the man's neck: "Don't leave me, I'm scared."

Chu Jiang's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of his chest. He held the girl's waist, wanting nothing more than to give her his heart, and said in a deep, focused voice, "I will never leave you."

"Spring Breeze, I heard shouts for help outside. Is there a fire somewhere?"

In fact, Aunt Xu heard the fire before going to bed, but she was so frightened that she fell asleep again without realizing it. When she woke up, she thought she was dreaming.

Chunfeng had already prepared for her questions and didn't hide anything: "Reporting to Madam, there is a fire."

Aunt Xu's hand tightened: "Where?"

“The Chongxian Lane where we used to live suddenly caught fire last night, but fortunately the fire wasn’t big and it was put out this morning…” Chunfeng said while carefully observing the woman’s expression. Seeing that something was wrong, she quickly changed her words: “So Miss really had foresight. She moved because she felt sorry for Madam. That’s why we’re perfectly fine here…”

Aunt Xu was just about to ask which house had been the site of the fire, so unlucky, when Chunfeng's words diverted her attention, and she smiled, "Of course, my Sangsang is a lucky one..."

If the people in the Prime Minister's residence heard these words, they probably wouldn't be moved; instead, they'd probably just roll their eyes.

You, Aunt Xu, actually think that the Third Miss is a lucky girl? Is the sun rising in the west?

"By the way, where's Sangsang? Does she know? Is she coming to see us?" Aunt Xu really wanted to ask Qin Su everything now.

She makes her feel safe.

"This……"

Chunfeng looked somewhat troubled and began to lie through her teeth: "I have already sent someone back to the Prime Minister's residence to explain the situation. I expect that it won't be long before Miss comes to visit Aunt."

But as she spoke, something suddenly occurred to her, and she became somewhat uneasy:

With such a big incident, would the Prime Minister's residence take this opportunity to demand that Miss Sangsang and Aunt Xu return?

However, this thought only flashed through my mind for a moment:

It's probably impossible to go back.

If they really come looking for her, Miss Sangsang will probably go straight to the Eastern Palace.

What about yourself?

She was sent by the Crown Prince to take care of Miss Sangsang, but she's been spending all her time with Consort Xu these past few days... Will he take her away or leave her behind?

Then I thought: He should probably go back to the Eastern Palace. But right now, the Seventh Prince is the only one who's awake; if he wants to…

"Spring breeze, spring breeze, what are you thinking about?"

Just then, Aunt Xu's urging voice came from the side, and Chunfeng realized that she had been distracted. She quickly said, "Madam, what is it?"

Aunt Xu looked at the girl speechlessly. She was capable, but she was always daydreaming and seemed to be thinking about something else entirely.

Fortunately, her Sangsang was considerate and specially arranged several maids to serve her, which prevented her from being driven mad by this.

"I'm asking you, what did they say when you sent a message back to the Prime Minister's residence?"

this problem……

Chunfeng suddenly hesitated. It was all made up by her. How could she know what the Prime Minister's Mansion would say?

This……

"They said from the Prime Minister's residence..."

"Miss is back!"

Suddenly, a voice came from outside reporting that Miss was back. Chunfeng's eyes lit up: "Miss is back! Auntie, wait for me, I'll go get Miss right away!"

Without waiting for Aunt Xu to react, he turned and left.

What a joke! If we leave any longer, we'll be exposed!

Looking at Chunfeng's overly agile figure, Aunt Xu's lips twitched. It wasn't that she disliked her, but this girl was sometimes really too rude, and her cooking was terrible. She really didn't seem like someone who could do anything.
