"Next time, don't be so rash. If you go and cause such a ruckus today, I'm afraid he will have even more of a reason to stop you from entering the Crown Prince Mansion."

Xiao Chengyi looked at Mu Qianyu thoughtfully.

"Me enter the Crown Prince Mansion?"

Mu Qianyu frowned, she was still eating, and casually asked with no regard for her image.

"Yes."

Xiao Chengyi nodded his head and said in an analytical manner, "Your actions that day had already completely attracted the attention of the crown prince. This duke reckoned that the reason the Zheng Family rejected you in such a way was because the crown prince had already sought out your father, and wanted him to bring you back to the manor before bringing you into the Crown Prince Mansion."

After all, he was the crown prince. Even if he were to accept a woman, he should at least have some status.

Although he could use other methods as well, an open and honorable method was better than others.

Hearing that the crown prince wanted to bring him into the Crown Prince Mansion, Mu Qianyu squinted her eyes and remained silent.

"What are you thinking about?"

Xiao Chengyi frowned slightly, his eyes staring straight at her without blinking, as though he felt that this woman wanted to go to Crown Prince Mansion.

"I'm thinking if this is the case, can I directly go to the Crown Prince Mansion and not need to return there?"

The corner of Mu Qianyu's lips curled up as she smiled weirdly.

Xiao Chengyi saw that she did not reply, and heard her continue: "After I go there, I'll be able to get along with my big sister properly. I want to see if his Minister Mansion has any more stable days left."

Although Zheng Qingyao was only Xiao Chengzhen's Lateral Consort, she had been in the Palace for many years and was greatly doted on.

Once Xiao Chengzhen becomes the emperor, Zheng Qingyao would be a true imperial concubine.

Furthermore, the Crown Princess had always been lingering on the sickbed, and it was unknown when they would leave. It was not impossible for Zheng Qingyao to have been taken care of.

Therefore, half of the glory of Zheng Family was directed towards Zheng Qingyao.

"You're not allowed to go!"

Xiao Chengyi suddenly turned cold, his tone full of sharpness.

"I'll go!"

Mu Qianyu strangely glared at Xiao Chengyi. Whether she went to Crown Prince Mansion or not, he didn't care.

Being used to living alone, suddenly having someone control you all the time, this kind of feeling is very irritating.

"You dare to give it a try?"

Xiao Chengyi suddenly extended his hand and grabbed her right wrist, he did not pay any attention to her, and used all his strength.

Mu Qianyu's right shoulder was still injured, and she had been affected by the attack. She frowned, and her face became extremely ugly.

Noticing her ugly expression, he suddenly realized what he had done and let go of her hand. He whispered, "Is there something wrong?"

Mu Qianyu frowned, she lowered her head and ate, ignoring the fellow who suddenly went crazy.

He was planning to run away after eating. This guy must have a nervous breakdown.

Seeing her not saying a word, Xiao Chengyi also did not speak, and did not touch the chopsticks either, his expression cold.

Sui Yang stood at the side and watched quietly.

Based on his understanding of his master, his master should be apologizing but feeling embarrassed at the same time.

That was true. He had followed his mistress for so many years, but he had never seen her so apologetic towards a girl. It was naturally hard to say when he apologized.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Chengyi could not help but open his mouth: "The crown prince is not as simple as he looks, the experts around him are not only Gu Zhao, not to mention that you have not recovered your martial arts yet, even if you had recovered your martial arts you would still be like a lamb in a tiger's den, and your elder sister, has been like this for many years in the Crown Prince Mansion, it is impossible for her to not have any skills …"

Mu Qianyu still did not react.

He sighed lightly, his words filled with concern. "Xiao Yu, listen to me, Crown Prince Mansion is not something that you can do as you please."

The chopsticks in Mu Qianyu's hand trembled, she had never heard of someone speaking in such a tone before.

It was light, soft, and warm. There seemed to be nothing but concern.

She slightly raised her gaze, her bright eyes overflowing with light. Even her expression was filled with innocence. "You're concerned about me?"

So the reason he didn't let her go to Crown Prince Mansion was because he cared about her and was afraid that she would get injured.

Just like how he warned her not to go to the Minister Mansion alone again.

"Yes."

Xiao Chengyi looked at her with a complicated gaze, then nodded his head, tacitly.

"How strange."

Mu Qianyu lowered her head, and faintly muttered to herself, a few ripples appearing in her calm heart.

This concern was very real, so real that it felt unrealistic to her.

After finishing her meal, Mu Qianyu didn't have any intention of leaving.

Originally, she had planned to run away as soon as she finished her meal, but now it seemed like there was no need.

"What's the matter?"

Seeing her standing there and looking left and right, Xiao Chengyi knew that she must be planning something.

In an instant, he felt a sense of defeat, and his thoughts had been seen through.

Mu Qianyu took out a Mental Exercise from her bosom and threw it in front of Xiao Chengyi, saying: "I don't know what's behind."

This Mental Exercise was too hard to understand, if she did not have Xiao Chengyi's guidance, she would not have understood it so quickly.

However, the further she went, the more difficult it became. She was stuck again.

It was rare for her to take the initiative to ask others for help.

Xiao Chengyi picked up the Mental Exercise, and casually flipped through it.

After a moment, he pointed out: "This is the key. As long as you pass this hurdle, the rest will be much easier to deal with."

Hearing that, Mu Qianyu immediately went closer to take a look, and frowned: "Of course I know this is the key, but I do not know how."

If I come to ask you?

Xiao Chengyi raised his head and looked at her. The light in his eyes was deep, and the corners of his mouth hooked into a faint smile.

Mu Qianyu was a little guilty, she asked in a low voice: "What conditions do you have?"

This sentence instantly shattered the gentle atmosphere.

Xiao Chengyi was bored, he had obviously never done so much for someone before, but this woman still asked him what his conditions were.

Could it be that Xiao Chengyi was someone who could speak whenever he had the conditions?

"If you don't want to tell me, then forget it."

Mu Qianyu thought that he was unhappy and took the Mental Exercise to leave.

Unexpectedly, before she could even take two steps, Xiao Chengyi suddenly reached out and pulled her back. Gritting his teeth, he lowered his voice and said: "I will teach you!"

He had never met a woman that made him so sullen.

He clearly didn't need to care about her, but why couldn't he?

It was as if he was happy as long as she asked for it.

Unknowingly, someone had fallen into the trap.

Looking at the anger on his face, which could no longer be suppressed, Mu Qianyu suddenly could not resist and burst out laughing.

This laugh also made him stunned.

It was the first time he saw her smile so happily. Her delicate little face was full of brilliance, like the warm summer sun, and it was really dazzling.

The previous coldness had long since disappeared, as if only this kind of smile could be closer to reality.

Mu Qianyu didn't know why her mood was so elated.

It was as if she could see that he was angry, but he didn't say it out loud. It was as if she understood how he was indulging her. That kind of true and genuine indulgence.

It wasn't because she had a noble identity, nor was it because she had a beautiful appearance. It was just that she gave in without reason.

No matter what kind of feeling it was, it was real.

After living for two lifetimes, this seemed to be the first time someone had so indulged him without the slightest hint of hypocrisy.

As a result, her smile instantly turned radiant, even Hundred Flowers paled in comparison.
