For a time, everyone quieted down. The atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward. The Crown Prince stood there, a strand of pitch-black hair covering half his face. His pitch-black eyes glimmered as he stared at the two people in front of him with great interest.

Xiao Sui stared blankly at him for a while, and only then did he regain his senses, as his round apricot eyes were filled with surprise, "You … "Your people?!" When did she become his person?! She still hadn't figured out who this handsome, always-aloof, stinking man in front of her was. How did he suddenly become his person?!

Shi Jinchen's eyes were injured, of course he could not see the shock on her face now, so he followed the voice and walked straight to the front of Xiao Sui. Extending his hand, he pulled her over with a large hand and whispered in her ear, "Could it be that you forgot? Previously, you sold yourself to bury your dead father, so I bought you! "

Selling his body to bury his father?

Xiao Sui frowned, and his long eyelashes drooped, covering up the expression in his eyes.

She had no memory of what had happened. Ever since she had woken up, the person with her was precisely this man with a bad temper. And since that man called him Xiao Sui, he guessed that he was probably his servant. He didn't expect that he was the one who sold his body and buried his father, which was why he bought it.

Xiao Sui stood there with his head down, and didn't speak for a long time. After not hearing the reply for a while, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and sneer, "What's wrong? You're not going to deny it, are you? I spent a lot of silver to buy you! If it were not for the fact that you were crying pitifully, This King would not have bothered with you! "

Hearing this, the crown prince squinted and shifted his gaze onto Xiao Sui who was no longer speaking. There was a warm smile on his face but his eyes shone with a faint light of inquiry. Seeing Xiao Sui with his head lowered, as if he was thinking about something, he was about to speak when he heard Shi Jinchen speak first, "Crown Prince, why are you here?"

Shi Jinchen did not call him brother like the crown prince, but called him crown prince according to etiquette. Shi Jinhan heard the alienation in his brother's tone, but he didn't mind, and only smiled as he replied, "royal father ordered you to go and help out, but when I heard that Fourth Brother was attacked on the way, I was extremely worried, so I sent me to look for Fourth Brother. "I didn't expect that I would run into you here."

"Is that so?" Shi Jinchen's thin lips pursed, followed by a casual smile, "Then I'll be troubling Crown Prince."

Although there was a smile on his lips, there was not the slightest hint of happiness in Shi Jinchen's long and narrow eyes. When paired with his upturned lips, he seemed extremely arrogant.

Xiao Sui stood at the side, emerging from his thoughts. Seeing the two speak, he automatically avoided them, and went to the side to look at the unconscious Xiao Sheng.

Chen Changsheng's face was pale, but the corners of his lips were still seeping blood. His eyes were tightly shut, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive. Xiao Sui pursed his lips, hesitating as he extended his hand, wanting to probe the little one's breathing.

Just as he placed his hand under the little life's nose, before he could examine it closely, he heard a voice filled with ridicule from the Shi Jinchen, "Is your brain damaged? I was merely injured, and did not die! "

Shi Jinchen seemed to have long predicted that Xiao Sui would go and inspect Little Sheng's injuries, and just so happened to say this sentence.

Hearing this, the Xiao Sui was finally relieved. But after hearing Shi Jinchen's words, the anger in his heart grew, and he suddenly raised his head, facing Shi Jinchen's eyes.

The pair of eyes were as deep as an ancient well, but there wasn't the slightest hint of ridicule in them.

Xiao Sui felt his entire body go cold, and he forcefully swallowed down the anger that had rushed to his throat with great difficulty.

She clearly knew that she couldn't see her current Shi Jinchen, but she felt her chaotic emotions had calmed down and calmed down in that instant just now.

Previously, Shi Jinchen said that he had sold his body as a burial ground, and was bought by him. But for some reason, when Xiao Sui heard him talk about his own past, it did not feel the slightest bit of grief. It was as if this wasn't happening to him at all.

The reason why she had been silent all this time was because she was trying hard to remember what had happened before. But helplessly, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember. The more he tried to remember, the more chaotic his mind became. If it wasn't for the fact that he was worried about Su Chen, who knows how long he would have been immersed in that state.

The Crown Prince stood to the side and saw that the two of them had stopped talking. He smiled slightly and said, "Seeing that my fourth brother is safe and sound, I, as his brother, am finally relieved."

While speaking, Shi Jinhan had a look of worry before suddenly relaxing expression, and it seemed to be sincere.

"Thank you for your concern, Crown Prince." Shi Jinchen did not have much of a reaction, and only indifferently said a word of thanks, causing Xiao Sui, who was retreating to the back, to not be able to help but pout his lips.

The Shi Jinchen in front of him did not see this scene, but it was fully captured by the Crown Prince's Shi Jinhan. He paused for a moment, then shifted his gaze onto Xiao Sui, "May I ask who this lady is?"

"An insignificant person is nothing more than an orphan girl that This King accepted along the way."

Before Xiao Sui could say anything, the Shi Jinchen had already voiced out its reply. But the word "unimportant" caused Xiao Sui to furrow his brows. Due to his identity, he did not speak.

"Although she is an orphan and has been taken in by you, it can also be considered fate. How about we return to the capital together?" Hearing that Shi Jinchen didn't want to say much, the Crown Prince didn't continue to pester him and spoke with a gentle tone.

"That's only natural. This King bought her and she is my servant girl. It's normal for me to return to the capital with this king, but …" The tone of the Shi Jinchen changed, and it suddenly became more severe, "When the Crown Prince came, did you meet any people?"

"Not really."

The Shi Jinhan was unclear, so he subconsciously answered.

Once these words were spoken, a trace of gloom flashed in the depths of Shi Jinchen's eyes, and his tone was a little unfriendly. "Before Crown Prince came, this king was nearly robbed and killed by a group of bandits. If not for the fact that I had enough Crown Prince, I might not be able to see this king anymore. "

Shi Jinchen's words were not even the slightest bit polite, and his way of addressing himself did not even change in the slightest because the other party was the crown prince. Even though he had already gotten used to it, he still felt a bit uncomfortable when he heard it in his ears. The meaning of his words sounded like he was lamenting that the crown prince had made it in time, but when he thought about it carefully, he realized that it was actually doubting him.

[Isn't it too much of a coincidence that the Crown Prince is here?]
