Xiao Yu chuckled, his eyes fixed on her ear pressed against the window paper, and he deliberately raised his voice: "Since you don't know me, then I will arrest you and bring you before the authorities. You trespassed into the royal temple and eavesdropped on others' privacy..."

"No, no, no!" Shen Weiwan quickly waved her hands, "I know you, I know you as His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince!"

She made a bitter face, thinking that this was the end. Being caught eavesdropping by the prince was no joke.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu suddenly put away his joking expression and looked at her seriously: "What did you hear just now?"

Shen Weiwan's heart tightened, and after hesitating for a moment, she decided to tell the truth: "I heard my aunt discussing with someone, as if she was going to harm me and find the key to the warehouse..."

Xiao Yu's eyes were slightly stern, but he didn't seem surprised. "I've heard a little bit about Liu's methods. It's probably not safe for a little girl like you to stay in the general's mansion."

Shen Weiwan’s heart moved, and she asked tentatively: “Your Highness, do you… also think that there is something wrong with Liu?”

Xiao Yu did not answer directly, but asked: "What do you want?"

Shen Weiwan looked into his deep eyes, and suddenly mustered up the courage to say, “I want to take back what belongs to my father and make those who bullied me pay the price!”

Her voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable firmness.

Xiao Yu looked at the light flashing in her eyes, which was a mixture of cunning, tenacity and a hint of stubbornness that refused to admit defeat. It was like a dusty pearl that finally began to emit its own light.

A smile slowly curled up at the corner of his mouth. This time, the smile lacked the previous playfulness, but instead contained a hint of appreciation. "Okay. If I help you, how do you plan to repay me?"

Shen Weiwan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect him to be so direct. She thought about it, and suddenly grinned, revealing two rows of small white teeth: "Repay? Wait until I drive Liu out. There are many good things in the warehouse of the general's mansion. If Your Highness doesn't mind, you can pick whatever you want!"

Xiao Yu was amused by her "money-obsessed" look and laughed out loud: "Chen Weiwan, you are really... honest."

Shen Weiwan blinked: “When talking to His Highness, you must be honest!”

In her heart, she was muttering: "Anyway, the things in the warehouse are mine, so what's the big deal if I give you some? Besides, with the prince as my backer, wouldn't it be easier to cheat people in the future?"

Xiao Yu watched the cunning flash in her eyes, and he found it more and more interesting. He nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you. But..."

He deliberately dragged out his voice, looked at Shen Weiwan’s curious eyes, and said slowly: “This king doesn’t want your things, he only wants you…”

Shen Weiwan’s heart tightened. Could it be that he wanted someone?

Xiao Yu continued, "If you come up with any silly tricks in the future, remember to tell me so I can have some fun too."

Shen Weiwan: “…” It turns out that the prince’s interests are so plain and boring.

She couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Your Highness, your request is too... unique, isn't it?"

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows: "Why? Don't want to?"

"I'm willing!" Shen Weiwan nodded quickly, but her heart was filled with joy. With the Seventh Prince as her "audience", wouldn't it be more fulfilling to cheat people in the future?

At this moment, Liu's door opened with a bang, and Liu walked out with a sullen face. She was startled to see Shen Weiwan and Xiao Yu standing at the door.

"Seventh...Seventh Prince?" Liu quickly bowed, a flattering smile on her face. "Why are you here?"

Xiao Yu glanced at her calmly, his eyes cold: "I am chatting with your niece, is there a problem?"

Liu's face turned pale and she quickly shook her head: "No problem, no problem, it was I who disturbed His Highness and the eldest lady..."

Shen Weiwan looked at Liu's frustrated look, and felt secretly happy. She deliberately moved closer to Xiao Yu and whispered, "Your Highness, I seemed to hear my aunt say that she wants to invite you for a cup of tea!"

Xiao Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said in agreement: "Oh? Really? Then this king must taste Madam Liu's tea."

Liu: "..." When did she say that? !

Looking at Liu's stiff smile, Shen Weiwan and Xiao Yu looked at each other, and both saw a hint of smile in each other's eyes.

The sunlight shines through the leaves and onto the two of them, creating an inexplicable harmony.

Shen Weiwan muttered in her heart: This Seventh Prince, although a little black-bellied, seems... not that difficult to get along with.

As Xiao Yu looked at the bold and reckless girl beside him whose head was full of silly ideas, he felt a strange feeling in his heart for the first time.

Perhaps, this trip to Hanshan Temple is much more interesting than he imagined.
