Chapter 282: The Village Beauty Who Falsely Claims Favors in a Farming Story (29)

During the few days when Su Yu was slacking off, the seal that Zhao Ce had someone copy was already made. It replaced the previous one and was quietly placed in the upper left corner of the long table.

"The prince has something to do and has to leave the capital. He left this morning and won't be back until tomorrow night. Miss, you can just practice calligraphy in here." said the servant on duty in the study.

Su Yu was slightly stunned: "The prince is not here? He can only come back tomorrow night?"

The servant smiled flatteringly and said, "Yes, the prince specifically told me to serve the young lady well before he left."

Su Yu pretended to be calm: "I know, you can go out first."

"Hey! I'm just outside the door. If you have any instructions, just call me."

The servants withdrew.

No one dared to enter Zhao Ce's study on weekdays. The servants only dared to sweep the dust and put things in order. As for whether there were too many or too few things in the study, perhaps only Zhao Ce himself knew.

In this way, she just needs to put the seal back before Zhao Ce comes back.

Su Yu finished practicing calligraphy absentmindedly, her attention always on the table diagonally in front of her. After writing on a few sheets of paper, she glanced over them and fell silent. What kind of rubbish was that?

The strokes of the words on the paper are almost unreadable.

Su Yu blushed and quickly rolled up the paper and put it aside. After all, she had finished writing.

After putting the paper away, Su Yu's eyes fell uncontrollably on the seal again.

With a creak, the study door opened from the inside.

The drowsy servant suddenly woke up: "Miss, have you finished practicing calligraphy?"

Su Yu nodded: "Well, I accidentally knocked over the ink, you go in and clean it up."

Watching the servant go in, Su Yu retracted her hand into her sleeve. The jade seal tightly wrapped in her palm was a bit hard and hurt her hand.

She turned around and saw the servants wiping the table skillfully, trying to clean up the ink marks on the table. She didn't notice that there was anything missing from Zhao Ce's table. She breathed a sigh of relief and walked back.

Back in the yard, the system slowly came over with a small dried fish in its mouth: [Host, that seal is fake. ]

Su Yu's expression remained unchanged: [I know.]

Although it looks similar, the jade quality is slightly worse than the previous one, and the seal on the bottom is also slightly different from the previous one. It must be fake.

System: [Why did you take it? The hero must have discovered it. ]

It’s possible that the male protagonist deliberately created the opportunity for her to take it.

Su Yu also suspected the same.

The system is a little strange: [How did the male protagonist find out? ]

Su Yu glanced at it: [I acted so obviously that the male protagonist, as long as he is not a fool, can find out that something is wrong. Also, I suspect that the male protagonist sent someone to keep an eye on me, or sent someone to keep an eye on Prince An. He must have known that Prince An and I had met. ]

System worry: [What should I do? ]

Su Yu was not panicked at all: [What should I do? I'll see what happens.]

If he knows, he will know. It was meant to be known to him.

But for some reason, the task progress bar is still rising very slowly. The hero is betrayed by the person next to him, but isn’t he angry at all?

Su Yu didn't understand at all.

Su Yu picked up the system and went back to the house, panting a little: [System, do you feel that you have gained a lot of weight? ]

The system chewed the dried fish: [Have you gained weight? I don’t feel anything. ]

Su Yu patted its sturdy flesh and couldn't help but complain: "If you didn't have this fur to cover you, you would be a middle-aged greasy fat cat now. Do you still want the skin of a big macho with eight-pack abs? According to your lazy way, the eight-pack abs will be eaten into one piece by you, and then kicked out of the small dark room by the system sister! 】

The dried fish in the system's mouth suddenly lost its fragrance.

After entering the house, a servant came in to add tea. It was a maid with an unfamiliar face, whom Su Yu had only seen a few times.

"Where's Chunmei?"

The maidservant was soft-tempered: "Sister Chunmei went to the kitchen to get some snacks for the young lady."

Su Yu stared at her for a while: "Why haven't I seen you before?"

Maid: "I was transferred here yesterday."

Su Yu didn't know whether she believed it or not, so she didn't ask any more questions. She picked up the cup casually, and her face suddenly changed slightly.

Su Yu took a sip of tea as if nothing had happened: "You go out first, I'm a little sleepy and want to sleep for a while."

"Yes." The maid retreated.

After the maid went down, Su Yu immediately picked out the things at the bottom of the cup. It was still a wax ball, but it had been flattened and showed signs of melting.

After pinching it open, there was still a note: See you in the bamboo forest in the backyard of the palace at midnight tonight.

Su Yu raised her eyebrows. Prince An was quite well-informed.

It is now the Shen hour, around four o'clock in the afternoon, and there are still four hours until the Zi hour.

The bamboo forest in the backyard of the palace has a quiet environment and nice scenery, but it is too remote and not many people go there on weekdays.

At midnight, the moon is at its zenith.

Su Yu was afraid of being discovered, so she didn't dare to take a candle and approached the bamboo forest with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

"Hello, where are you?" Su Yu's voice was trembling.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind and covered her mouth.

Su Yu's eyes widened: "Ugh! Ugh!"

Zhao Sheng was almost thrown away by her. This country girl was really strong: "Don't shout, it's me."

Su Yu blinked in panic: "Mmmmm!" (Let me go!)

"I'll let you go, don't scream."

Su Yu nodded quickly.

Zhao Sheng slowly loosened his grip, but just as he relaxed his strength, he was pushed away by the person in front of him, causing him to stagger and almost fall.

How could Zhao Ce tolerate such a rude woman?

Su Yu opened her eyes wide and glared at him fiercely: "Why are you scaring me?"

Zhao Sheng stood firm with a dark face: "Who scared you? You are the one who is timid."

"Where's the stuff?"

Su Yu glared at him again: "Apologize."

Zhao Sheng couldn't believe it: "What did you say? You want me to... to apologize?"

Su Yu's idea was simple: "If you do something wrong, you should apologize. You scared me. If you don't apologize, I won't give you anything."

The little village girl never bows her head even in adversity.

Zhao Sheng thought it was ridiculous: "Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? There are only two of us here now. What can you do if I forcefully take the things away from you?"

Su Yu's face was tense: "Then I will throw the things away before you grab them."

Su Yu said as she took out a seal from her sleeve. The white jade color reflected a warm light under the moonlight. She raised her hand and pretended to smash it to the ground.

Zhao Sheng's pupils shrank: "Stop!"

Su Yu stopped and looked at him proudly: "Apologize."

Zhao Sheng gritted his teeth. This country girl looked silly, but she actually had some intelligence. After not seeing her for a few days, she had learned how to threaten people.

When a scholar meets a soldier, he cannot explain his reason clearly.

Zhao Sheng took a deep breath and said, "I apologize. It's my fault. I shouldn't have scared you."

If Zhao Sheng's men saw this, their eyes would probably pop out of their heads.

The little village girl only met two princes in total, both of whom were under her control. Sometimes she had to sigh that there is always someone stronger than her.

Su Yu stretched out her hand: "Give it to me."

Zhao Sheng was stunned: "What?"

Su Yu frowned: "Shouldn't an apology be expressed in some way? If you did something wrong, you should apologize. What's the compensation? I don't want anything else, just give me the banknote."

Zhao Sheng's heart ached: "Give me the things first."

Su Yu: "One hand pays the money, the other hand delivers the goods."

Zhao Sheng felt pain in his lungs every time he breathed. He clearly wanted to get something for nothing, but how could it end up being a one-way transaction where he had to pay money and get the goods?
