Chapter 171 You Must Not Leave Me

"Miss, you are back!"

Upon seeing Qin Su, Chunfeng felt as if she had seen a savior, and burst forth with immense enthusiasm.

Hehe, Miss is quick-witted and clever. Give her those excuses she can't come up with, and she'll definitely be fine.

The thought flashed through her mind, and Chunfeng vaguely felt that something was wrong, but before she could think about it carefully, she had already walked up to Qin Su.

Then... unsurprisingly, she saw the tall and imposing man standing beside her.

Ah, I heard that His Highness and Miss Sangsang have been inseparable lately. She thought it was a joke, but it turns out it's really true...

When Qin Su saw Chunfeng coming over, she did not let go of the tyrant's hand as usual, but held it tightly, as if she was drawing strength from him.

"How is Mother? Is everything alright?" she asked anxiously, feigning worry and anxiety.

Chu Jiang's gaze swept over the two clasped hands. It was such a small detail, yet it made him feel exceptionally at ease.

She finally stopped hiding her relationship with him in public.

Even this eyesore of a little girl doesn't seem so annoying anymore.

"Don't worry, Miss. My aunt doesn't know much about this, so she's not too nervous. She's just quite surprised; she was asking you about this when I came out..."

Chunfeng paused for a moment, as if she had just felt a terrifying sense of being stared at by some ferocious beast, which almost made her muscles tense up and put her in a defensive posture.

"There's just one thing..."

Chunfeng's voice trailed off, her gaze sweeping over Chu Jiang beside Qin Su. Because of her current undercover identity, there were some things she should say that should be avoided from His Highness...

Qin Su followed her gaze, realized something, and said, "It's okay, just tell me. There's nothing between him and me that can't be said."

spring breeze:!!!
Chu Jiang didn't speak, but he tightened his grip on the girl's hand.

Chunfeng could only manage a dry laugh: "When Madam asked about the reaction from the Prime Minister's residence, this servant didn't know how to answer her..."

Qin Su suddenly realized, and her face turned red.

The reason she gave Aunt Xu was that she was going back to the Prime Minister's residence, but in reality, she had been spending the last few days fooling around with men, indeed...

"Wait for me outside, I'm going in to talk to my mother for a bit..."

She blushed as she looked at the tyrant, her eyes filled with obvious reluctance, as if she wanted to take him with her.

Chu Jiang understood immediately, and his heart softened. He said, "I'll go in with you."

He didn't feel he had anything to hide.

The little girl's face lit up with surprise, but she quickly shook her head and said with difficulty, "No, if you come in with me, Mother will be scared, and it won't be easy to explain..."

Then, before the man could speak, she suddenly tiptoed closer to him: "Wait for me outside, okay? Don't go too far."

The girl's soft, coquettish manner, combined with the pure dependence in her eyes, instantly dispelled the slight dissatisfaction that had risen in Chu Jiang's heart. He longed to pull her into his arms, kiss her, and coax her.

But he held back in the end, nodding as if he didn't care much: "I'll wait for you outside."

Qin Su slowly loosened her grip, but their gazes seemed to be locked.

Chunfeng, standing to the side, nearly had her eyes pop out: "Aaaaaah, is this something I should be watching? Should I go in in your place...?"
-
Qin Su finally left with Chunfeng, and Chu Jiang stood straight, watching the girl's departing figure intently.

But as soon as the person disappeared from sight, his face instantly turned cold: "What's going on?"

The secret guards who appeared out of nowhere are truly unjust.

Their mission had always been to secretly protect Miss Sangsang and Consort Xu. After Miss Sangsang was taken away by His Highness, their only responsibility was to protect Consort Xu.

When Aunt Xu moved to the new house, they naturally moved as well.

People were also stationed in Chongxian Lane, but only during the day, to prevent unpreparedness if the Prime Minister's residence sent people.

But the fire started in the middle of the night, who could have imagined that...
-
The system checked several times but found no signs of human intervention. It was indeed a neighbor's lantern that was accidentally blown by the wind onto the firewood in the yard and then caught fire. Because no one lived in the house, the fire grew larger and wasn't discovered immediately...

Qin Su interrupted the system: "So you want to tell me this was an accident?"

The system paused for a moment: [The system believes it's possible that the power of the original world is repairing the plot. After all, the host is the "female lead," so it's normal for the original world to want the host to return to the normal plot...]

According to the original plot, Qin Sangsang should be playing a physically and emotionally torturous game with Murong Jing right now, not abandoning the original male lead to play a love triangle with the tyrant... uh, a love triangle, right?

Qin Su paused for a moment, then said, "I understand."

As she spoke, she arrived at Aunt Xu's door. Just before pushing the door open, Qin Su suddenly asked, "Where do you think I'll be staying next?"

system:?
"Madam, look who's back."

The maid's joyful voice made Aunt Xu even more alert. Waaah, how many years had she longed to hear that "Madam"? Finally, she heard it...
-
"What did you say? There's a fire in Chongxian Lane?"

Qin Qionghua is trying to persuade her mother to adopt Qin Sangsang as her own child.

Zhang naturally refused.

She didn't just ask her; she knew her mother's weakness.

If she couldn't get through to them, they asked her two uncles to come instead.

Compared to her, her mother loved and cared for her brother the most. Even though things had gotten so chaotic at home, she would never allow anyone to disturb her brother's studies.

Her brother was her last resort, and Qin Qionghua was unwilling to use him unless it was a critical moment.

"Yes, there is a fire."

The servant who went to keep watch was beaten up, stripped naked and thrown into the street, and almost arrested by the patrolling soldiers.

These past few days, Qin Wanrou hasn't dared to let anyone go there anymore.

I finally managed to contact my uncle through my cousin, hoping to ask them for help, but this is the news I received.

"However, the family that caught fire was lucky; no one was home at the time, only the house burned down, and there were no casualties..."

Before the servant could finish speaking, the young lady in front of him had already stood up, her flowing skirt billowing outwards.

Such a good opportunity, it would be foolish not to take this chance to let Aunt Xu and her daughter return to the manor!
"The Prime Minister's residence... the Qin family might send someone to pick up my mother and me and take us back."

Qin Su looked at the tyrant, her beautiful eyes filled with reluctance.

Chu Jiang smiled and pulled the person into his arms: "If you don't want to go back, then don't."

"How is that possible..."

Qin Su glanced at him, then lowered her head, like a wronged little animal: "If Father speaks, how can I resist?"

As she spoke, she tightened her grip on the man's long fingers, as if using this action to alleviate the anxiety and worry in her heart.

Chu Jiang chuckled; for him, nothing was "impossible."

"Tomorrow, come to the palace with me."
