C85

Unknowingly, they had reached the Prince Li's Palace.

The main butler that had received the news immediately ran in to report to Xiao Chengyi.

If Mu Qianyu came back alone, it wouldn't be a big deal.

But it seemed very strange for Xiao Chengjin to send her back.

So when Mu Qianyu and Xiao Chengjin reached the door, Xiao Chengyi had already come out.

"I can see that third brother is very concerned about this little girl."

Seeing Xiao Chengyi come out, seemingly in a hurry, Xiao Chengjin couldn't help but laugh, with a complicated look in his eyes.

He really did not expect that there would actually be a girl that could be valued highly by Third Brother in this world.

It seemed like there would be a good show to watch in the future.

Hearing the two words that came out of his mouth, Mu Qianyu couldn't hold back her anger any longer, frowned as she looked at Xiao Chengjin: "How old is Prince Qi, and how old is he? He's not much older than me, right? Why am I the little girl in front of Prince Qi now."

This person always seemed to think that she was a little girl who didn't understand the affairs of the world.

Being looked down on by others made him feel bad, very bad.

Seeing her angry glare, Xiao Chengjin smiled even more deeply, and joked: "You're still saying that you're not a little girl? Look at your fuming appearance, you're completely a childish child."

This girl was actually comparing her age with him. How interesting.

Mu Qianyu even had the heart to kill him.

Why did she feel that talking to Xiao Chengjin was more tiring than talking to him, she just had to think?

Even if they had to think hard, they might not be able to surpass him.

"Why did we meet with the Sixth Brother?"

Xiao Chengyi did not bother with Xiao Chengjin's teasing, and asked instead.

"She tried to jump out the window to kill herself, but I stopped her."

Before Mu Qianyu could reply, Prince Qi had already made a note for him.

It was as if he was saying that he was her savior.

"Suicide?"

Xiao Chengyi suddenly frowned, her phoenix eyes half-narrowed, as he swept them across Mu Qianyu's body with a scrutinizing gaze.

This girl committed suicide the moment she stepped out of the door. What was going on?

It was as if, unknowingly, the Prince Li had already treated Mu Qianyu as his private property.

"I am just a good person to the end. I will send this little girl back. Third Brother can ask her about the rest. I still have things to do, so I will take my leave first."

The corner of Xiao Chengjin's mouth raised slightly, and he turned to leave with his men.

"Blackheart Fox!"

Mu Qianyu fiercely glared at the indifferent and distant figure, and frowned as she complained.

He clearly said that she was going with him, but in the end, he sent her back on purpose.

This person was really good.

He was lying in broad daylight with his eyes open wide.

"What is going on?"

Someone suddenly grabbed his wrist.

Mu Qianyu immediately frowned, "It hurts."

Xiao Chengyi was startled, he immediately let go, and lowered his head, only to realize that her wrist was swollen.

Anger rose in his heart. Who did this?

"What's going on?"

Xiao Chengyi asked again with a worried expression.

However, the Mu Qianyu who was in a bad mood did not notice his expression, and only said without thinking, "I'm tired, I'm going back to rest."

She did not want to mention the matter of Lanyue House at all.

Why did she say that she was almost forced to do so by the crown prince?

When she thought about the actions of the crown prince, she felt extremely disgusted. She wanted nothing more than to castrate the crown prince with a knife so that she could dispel the hatred in her heart.

He lowered his eyes, but he could not hide the anger on his face.

The moment he turned around to leave, his wrist was once again grabbed by someone. However, it wasn't by much.

"Xiao Yu?"

Xiao Chengyi's voice became much softer, "Tell this king what happened, who bullied you?"

There was concern and worry in every word.

He had seen all her anger.

When he thought of Xiao Chengjin's words, he became even more worried.

How could it be a small matter now that he had committed suicide?

How could she, with her stubborn personality, commit suicide so easily?

Mu Qianyu was slightly stunned, she stopped in her tracks, lowered her head and did not speak, but felt a bit wronged in her heart.

It was not as if they had never encountered such a situation before, even in times of great danger.

However, she had never felt wronged. Because no one cared about her, she had only hidden herself to heal her injuries.

But now, something happened and someone suddenly asked you what was wrong. Who bullied you? That kind of genuine concern could instantly infect people's emotions.

She had always thought that she was the strongest, but she had never thought that being strong was just her outer appearance.

The more domineering a person's appearance was, the more fragile their heart would be.

It was precisely because no one was in pain that made him so powerful.

If not, who else could he show weakness to?

Mu Qianyu lowered her head and did not speak.

Xiao Chengyi only held her hand gently, and did not rush her, and kept his company quietly.

This was because he could already clearly feel the fluctuations of her emotions.

Her body instantly exuded a sorrowful aura, causing his heart to sink. He didn't know what had happened to actually strike her so hard.

She should have sent someone to follow her.

"I'm hungry."

After remaining silent for a while, Mu Qianyu suddenly raised her head. The anger in her eyes had already faded and only exhaustion was left.

After making such a ruckus for so long, she was really hungry.

Or it could be said that in grief, people were used to taking food to fill the gap.

"Then tell them to get you the freshly made pastries."

Xiao Chengyi led her into the residence.

She did not struggle or refuse, but obediently followed him.

It was like a child who had just gotten lost and suddenly found his way home.

She didn't know why he was being so nice to her.

However, when he held her hand tightly and walked inside, she suddenly felt that her heart that was hanging in the air had finally found a landing point. She immediately let it go. There was no longer any fear, no longer any lingering fear.

Even though Xiao Chengjin was protecting her back then, she was still thinking if the crown prince would chase after her all the way.

But when she saw him, the tension was gone.

It seemed that once she entered the Prince Li Palace, she would have someone to rely on and would no longer be afraid.

How many years had it been since she had last experienced such a sense of security?

Xiao Chengyi immediately brought her to the Cool Garden.

Sui Yang had always understood his master's intentions, so he had already ordered people to bring the pastries and brewed tea.

"Aren't you hungry? Let's eat first. We'll talk slowly after we finish eating."

Xiao Chengyi pointed to the pastries on the table, his expression warm.

"Yes."

Mu Qianyu nodded, she grabbed the pastries and started eating, as though she was really using the food to fill in her sadness.

After eating and filling my stomach, without even needing Xiao Chengyi to ask, he said honestly, "I met Xiao Chengzhen, he forced me to go to the Crown Prince Mansion, but I didn't want to go, so I jumped down from the Lanyue House. Who would have thought that I would meet your Sixth Brother, and it was indeed he who brought me back."

She was furious, so the crown prince stopped calling her by her name.

"It's that simple?"

Hearing that she had met the crown prince, Xiao Chengyi's heart suddenly sunk.

Very clearly, the Prince Li was angry.

"He …"

With a frown, Mu Qianyu lowered her gaze and softly said, "He wanted to go against me, so I …"
