The Third Prince was, after all, the son of the Southern Border Emperor, and his status and position were inherently noble.

If she could help the Third Prince solve the problem of the cursed insects, her position in the Marquis of Anbo's mansion would be more stable, and she could also give Chen Jiao a good kick.

In the future, with the added protection of the Southern Frontier royal family, wouldn't that be wonderful?

Shen Qingcheng's gaze sharpened slightly, and he immediately refused: "No, this is a hot potato. How can I put you in a stalemate?"

"It's okay, I have my older brother with me, and besides, I also want to save my sister."

Shen Yu's beautiful hair framed her innocent oval face, and her almond-shaped eyes were watery, revealing a kind of stubborn trust.

Shen Qingcheng's heart skipped a beat for no reason. For the first time ever, he patted Shen Yu's head, and his tough tone finally softened.

"Yu'er, your elder brother thanks you on behalf of Chen Jiao."

Shen Qingcheng took out a token that revealed his identity and gave it to Shen Qingye, instructing him to take Shen Yu to the Third Prince's residence.

He planned to investigate the situation at the Gu residence.

...

"The heat is just right. Add scallions, ginger, and garlic and sauté until fragrant... Now, add soybean paste and fermented soybean paste... Finally, pour in a pot of wine... Very good. Cover and simmer for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea..."

The kitchen of the Gu family was filled with the energetic voices of a young girl directing things, as if this dull mansion had suddenly come alive.

The tyrant not only did not stop it, but even showed great interest in it.

The worry on the faces of Master Gu and Gu An grew even more pronounced.

Once it's cooked, should they eat it or not?

I'm a little afraid of dying if I eat it.

If she doesn't eat, the pressure from the tyrant isn't a big deal; the main concern is that the little girl will be upset.

The father and son sighed repeatedly.

"Sigh, it's hard to be a person, it's even harder to be someone who eats crayfish."
