C43

After bidding farewell to Bai Yu, prepared to return to the Fourth Prince Palace. The sun was shining brightly outside, and even his mood was not as fretful as before. For the first time, he let Xiao Sui sit together with him on the carriage.

Xiao Sui squatted obediently in a corner of the carriage and secretly glanced at Shi Jinchen.

Look at what I'm doing. Why aren't you sitting down? Do you want me to invite you?" As soon as Shi Jinchen saw Little Tassel get on the carriage and squat down, he couldn't help but think of all the atrocities he had committed in the past, and he felt a little guilty.

"The Xiao Sui was afraid that the prince would be angry so they squatted, because the Xiao Sui did not understand that their status was low before, making the prince unhappy." Xiao Sui actually saw that Shi Jinchen was a little guilty, so she intentionally said that.

"It used to be before, but now you're no longer a maid. Hurry up and sit up!" Seeing that his Xiao Sui was hesitating, he directly pulled her over to his side and sat down.

"I didn't scratch you this time, did I?"

"Eh? "What kind of scratching pain?" The Xiao Sui was at a loss.

"..." "Nothing." The journey was peaceful.

The old housekeeper expressed his gratification, because the Duke had finally opened his eyes and brought the Xiao Sui back. Seeing that Fourth Prince and this silly girl had come down together from the carriage, the old butler welcomed them happily.

"Grandpa butler, I missed you!" Just as Xiao Sui got off the carriage, he saw the old butler, who had broken his heart for the sake of the Fourth Prince Palace, and excitedly rushed over.

"Xiao Sui, you shameless little girl, my old waist can't stand up to your nonsense!" Hearing this, Xiao Sui stuck out her tongue in embarrassment. Alright, she really forgot that her weight really wasn't light.

"The prince came back at the right time. Lunch has already been prepared."

"Alright, call everyone over. This King has something to announce." Shi Jinchen nodded in satisfaction, she called for Xiao Sui to follow him to dinner, and told the butler.

Although he was puzzled that his prince had some important matter to announce in front of everyone in the mansion, the old steward still dutifully ordered that when the prince was having a meeting in the afternoon, no one in the mansion was allowed to miss.

After the two of them finished lunch, most of them had already arrived. The old butler stood respectfully to one side, solemnly waiting for the prince to announce this important matter. They only saw Fourth Prince slowly wipe his mouth, rinse his mouth, and then slowly take something out from his sleeve.

Everyone was prepared. As they stood closer to the Xiao Sui, they naturally could see it clearly.

"Eh? This is my indenture contract! " This sentence caused an uproar among the audience.

"Cough cough, the reason I called everyone here today is to tell you all one thing. Xiao Sui, she is no longer a lowly slave in our residence!" After saying that, Shi Jinchen tore apart the indenture contract in his hand in front of everyone. Since we have saved this duke once before in Xiao Sui (Xiao Sui: more than once …), this duke formally declares that Xiao Sui is this king's savior, and everyone must treat Xiao Sui with the same respect as you would treat me in the future. "

The old housekeeper secretly cried from the side: Our Fourth Prince Palace, don't tell me we're going to have a mistress soon … What should he do? Everything happened too suddenly, he didn't have any time to prepare …

Because of the change in Xiao Sui's identity, she didn't have to be like the other servants and squeeze into the same courtyard. Instead, she had her own courtyard.

Even so, she was still responsible for the daily living of the Fourth Prince. Therefore, in essence, other than everyone treating her differently, in front of the Shi Jinchen, there was still that little girl who had to do all the work for him.

The old steward had originally wanted to arrange a few maids for their mistress to peek at, to give them their Miss Xiao Sui, but Xiao Sui really didn't like being served by others. She told the old steward that she had always thought that she was as equal as everyone else, and that she wasn't a spoiled child either.

At night, after the two of them finished dinner, Xiao Sui went to sleep as usual and when they returned, they were given a fright. Looking at the woman who had suddenly appeared in the room, Xiao Sui calmly lit the candles, finding two stools calmly.

Then, he sat down on the chair to empty himself, and started to complain about why both of them would suddenly appear in his room. Could it be that my room has a teleport that allows you to enter and leave freely? Furthermore, I have clearly changed to a new courtyard and a new room. How did you find this place in the late autumn? The Supreme Fu Mansion is so far away from here, and the Fourth Prince Palace is heavily guarded, so how on earth would a weak girl like you be able to avoid the patrolling guards and accurately appear in my room? What do I do? There are too many problems. This doesn't make sense at all.

"Late autumn, I discovered that you are a truly enigmatic woman." Woman, you've succeeded in drawing my attention.

"…" After all, he could not rely on a piece of wood to say anything, nor could he rely on Xiao Sui to support his forehead.

The next day, Shi Jinchen indeed discovered that there was an unfamiliar servant girl that had suddenly appeared beside Xiao Sui. Regarding this, Xiao Sui indicated that this was an orphan girl that she had seen outside previously, and brought her back pitifully.

As for the matter of him bringing along Bai Yu to visit the brothel a few days ago, she had not said a single word. What a joke, if Shi Jinchen were to know that the cinnabar mole on his forehead had been squandered like dirt in the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion, spending a thousand gold just for a mute girl, he would probably tear himself into pieces on the spot.

Fortunately, Late-Autumn has also tacitly said nothing, and so the Shi Jinchen did not continue the questioning. He had just returned from the old housekeeper's house, so he had mixed feelings about this matter.

It's like this, the old butler thought that his master had someone whom he liked (he thought it was Xiao Sui), and intentionally or unintentionally reminded his master of a few words, hinting that his master should seize the opportunity, if the people from Xiao Sui were to be taken away by someone else (such as that Lao Shi Zi's Crown Prince), it would not be good for Balala, and the moment his Shi Jinchen finished listening, his entire person would not be good. In fact, he had not expected this. Now that the old butler mentioned it, he immediately became anxious.

After all, they had grown up together. However, Xiao Sui had taken care of him for such a long time, and it was not like he did not have any feelings for it. For those who were in a dilemma, even the Xiao Sui beside him would feel uncomfortable for him.

When he thought about his Xiao Sui and his first meeting, as well as his subsequent encounters, even he did not realize that the corners of his mouth had slightly curled up, and his expression had also carried a trace of gentleness …

Xiao Sui looked at Shi Jinchen's face, which alternated between red and green. Truly, it was difficult to explain in a single sentence.
