Chapter 101: Do you think I am a fool?

Su Yanshu glanced at the food on Yu Shengsheng's table, which was even more sumptuous than usual.

He sneered: "Do you know that Zhiyi is missing!"

Yu Shengsheng was puzzled: "I don't know. Even if I do, it has nothing to do with me. If someone is missing, go find them. Why are you mad at me?"

She looked around and said, "If you don't believe me, just search and leave immediately after searching."

Su Yanshu stepped forward and looked at her picturesque eyes and eyebrows: "Qi Mubai abandoned you because he was heartless and unintentional. Don't take your anger out on Zhiyi."

Yu Shengsheng looked at him and said calmly, "I'll say it again, her disappearance has nothing to do with me. As for other people's affairs, I don't want to get involved."

Su Yanshu stared at her for a long while: "You really haven't seen her?"

"No."

Su Yanshu glanced around the rooms, made sure there was nothing, turned around and walked out.

When he reached the door of the house, he said without looking back: "I didn't expect that you could still eat at this time."

Yu Shengsheng wiped her mouth: "Su Zhiyi might just be hiding to be quiet for a while, but the Second Young Master lost his composure like this. It's true that brother and sister have a deep affection. The affection between those who grew up together is different."

Su Yanshu clenched his fists slightly and left in anger again.

Yu Shengsheng looked at his back, recalling the previous scenes of Su Yanshu and Su Zhiyi together. She always felt that something was a bit strange. Su Dingqin and Su Zhiyi were also siblings, and Su Dingqin loved Su Zhiyi very much, but the feeling between them was completely different from that of Su Yanshu.

Could it be...

At this time, Madam Zhou said, "Just now when I went to the kitchen, I heard a lot of noise in the garden. Many people were looking for the princess. I was afraid that the young lady would be upset, so I didn't mention it. Who knows..."

Yu Shengsheng took a sip of soup and said, "It's okay. This matter has nothing to do with me."

…

The Su residence was in chaos as people were trying to find Su Zhiyi, but Su Zhiyi was not there at all.

She went out the back door, hired a carriage, and went to the Prince's Villa.

When she left the palace today, she noticed that the prince would return to the villa.

She had never been here, but she had heard from Su Yanshu that the prince came here two or three times a month, and his mood would improve every time he came.

Su Zhiyi clenched the things in her hand and took a deep breath. She believed that after seeing her, the prince would be in a better mood.

Inside the palace, candles were burning brightly, as if it were daytime.

The prince was only wearing a nightgown with a loose collar, and he was looking up. Two young and handsome men next to him, with their hair loose and wrapped in a single robe with half of their shoulders exposed, were pouring wine for him.

The wine jug was held high, and the wine slowly fell into the prince's mouth, wetting his lips and chest.

At this time, a eunuch walked in with his head lowered.

"Your Highness, Princess Rongyang requests an audience."

The smile on the prince's face instantly faded, and the man who poured him wine snorted: "Why would a woman find her way here? She's ruining your highness's mood."

"Your Highness, ignore her," another man picked up a peeled grape and handed it to the prince, "Don't let a woman disturb the prince's good mood tonight."

"We have been waiting for the prince for several days."

The prince ate the grapes in his hand and gently hooked their hair: "Princess Rongyang is Su Yanshu's sister. She was just proposed to by the top scholar today. She is not an ordinary woman."

"You go down first, I'll see what she wants."

Although the two were reluctant to leave, they did not dare to disobey the prince and got up and left.

When Su Zhiyi entered the room, she saw the prince leaning against a small table with a bamboo mat on the floor. He held a wine jug in one hand and the other on his bent knee. His robe was loose, revealing his straight collarbone and pectoral muscles.

The prince looked completely different from the usual prince in bright yellow robe and jade crown. His long eyebrows were slightly raised, his single eyelids were slightly narrowed, his eyes were sparkling, and he always had a gentle smile on his face. But now, due to being drunk, his face looked a bit more evil, and his red lips were stained with wine, making him look charming and seductive.

Su Zhiyi's face suddenly turned red, as if a fire was ignited on her face and in her body.

She never expected that the prince would appear in front of her in this image.

She lowered her eyes and dared not look around, her heart pounding, a slight panic, shyness, and joy all mixed together in her chest.

It was like a slightly bitter medicine that could cure her infatuation, and like a bowl of honey that could ease the pain of being married to someone else.

"My lady, what is the matter with you, my lord?"

His voice was hoarse, he was a little drunk, and his tone was lazy and casual.

Su Zhiyi's heart was aroused, and she pursed her lips and said, "Your Highness, your servant..."

She felt a little aggrieved and had endless things to say to the prince: "I don't want to marry Qi Mubai."

The prince paused and tilted his head to look at her: "Don't want to?"

"Yes, I already have someone I love and don't want to marry him," Su Zhiyi looked up and met the prince's gaze.

A bit aggrieved, a bit stubborn.

"My beloved?" The prince lowered his voice, as if grinding it back and forth between his teeth, "Who is it?"

Su Zhiyi pushed the wheelchair forward and took a deep breath: "Your Highness, I would like to ask for your help to cancel my engagement with Qi Mubai. I am willing to give you something to relieve your worries."

"What?"

Su Zhiyi took out the treasure bag stolen from Yu Shengsheng, pushed the wheelchair in front of him, and handed it to him with both hands.

The prince took it and opened it.

It was shining with golden light, and it turned out to be the token of the Nanshun Palace.

The prince raised his eyelids and looked at her, but did not ask her how she got it. He touched the token with his finger and felt something was wrong.

He moved closer to the candlelight and squinted his eyes to take a closer look.

The pattern on it is lifelike, but it feels flat to the touch. No, it's not flat, there is something underneath this layer.

He took the wine jug and soaked the token with wine, causing the thick paper on the edge to lift up.

Lift it down.

Below is the token of the Su Mansion.

"Ha," the prince laughed briefly and threw the token over.

Right in the middle of Su Zhiyi's forehead.

"Do you take me for a fool?"

Su Zhiyi was hit and was about to cover the wound, but he lowered his head to take a closer look and opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

how so?

Before she could react, the prince grabbed her and dragged her down.

"ah!"

…

Yu Shengsheng didn't sleep very well that night. Perhaps she was extremely tired, or perhaps she wanted to comfort herself, so she lay down and fell asleep.

But when you fall asleep you enter into dreams.

In her dream, she returned to a small village in the countryside. She was still hungry, so she still went hunting in the mountains. She still showed the prey she brought back to Qi Mubai.

Qi Mubai was standing under a tree at the entrance of the village, gentle and kind. He praised her with a smile and thanked her for sharing her food with him. But when he looked up, Qi Mubai was standing in the hall, scolding her for being cruel and ruthless, saying that she could break the neck of a small animal with one hand, and that she had a fight with her adoptive father and even injured his head, which was unfaithful and unfilial.

But in fact, if she didn't hunt, she would starve to death. If she didn't hunt, she wouldn't get any money and would be beaten by her adoptive father. Her legs were almost broken that time and she fell on the farm tools in the yard, cutting her legs and bleeding a lot. The farm tools fell over and hit her adoptive father's head.

Not that she meant to.

Qi Mubai knew all of this.

Yu Shengsheng woke up from her dream and couldn't fall asleep again.

I turned around and saw that another painting had not been repaired yet, so I got up and repaired it.

When I took this job, I thought I could earn money to support myself, leave the capital with Qi Mubai, and live a stable life.

What is it for at this time?

She didn't know, she just took the job and had to be loyal to the person who entrusted her with the task.

Before they knew it, the sky had brightened and the voices of Jin Baobao and Nanny Zhou were heard in the yard.

The two of them whispered to each other as they cleaned the room and prepared breakfast.

In the silence, Su Huaishan's voice was heard outside the door.

"Get out of here, bitch. If you dare to stop me again, I'll break your legs. Let Yu Shengsheng come out to see me!"
