Chapter 290: The Village Beauty Who Falsely Claims Favors in a Farming Story (37)
★When Su Yu woke up the next day, the bed next to her was already cold.
Su Yu used all her strength to turn her neck to confirm that Zhao Ce was not there. She was about to continue sleeping when she suddenly noticed an irresistible gaze staring at her, as if it wanted to see through her.
He glanced over there and met Chunmei's resentful gaze.
"Chunmei?"
Su Yu's whole body stiffened, and she finally remembered what she had forgotten these days.
She forgot about Chunmei.
"The young lady finally woke up." Chunmei stared at Su Yu and said in a sad tone, "It turns out that the young lady still remembers me. I thought that the young lady was having a good time outside and had forgotten me a long time ago."
Su Yu: “…”
Do you know how I spend these days?
Do you know how scared I was to face the prince alone?
Did you know I almost died?
Chunmei's resentful eyes clearly conveyed her accusation against Su Yu.
Su Yu smiled awkwardly: "How could that be? How could I forget you? I just..."
Su Yu couldn't say the following words even if she had a clear conscience.
Well, she just forgot.
Fortunately, Chunmei just looked at her resentfully for a while, then came over with the toiletries and said, "I will help you get up, young lady."
Su Yu put on her clothes despite the marks all over her body and changed the subject: "Where is the prince?"
"The prince entered the palace early this morning."
The matter of Prince An was not over yet. Zhao Ce collected evidence and reported that the last time he was almost killed in an assassination attempt, it was also Prince An who ordered it.
Being punished for multiple crimes, King An’s final fate is probably not going to be good.
During this period, Zhao Ce went into the palace at dawn and came back at night. As soon as he came back, he did that kind of thing, as if he was two different people during the day and at night.
He was cold and heartless during the day, and left without hesitation, as if he was still angry and didn't even want to look at Su Yu.
He was very passionate at night and tortured Su Yu over and over again, causing Su Yu to be a little afraid of the dark.
The nearly transparent clothing had no concealing effect at all.
Su Yu shrank into Zhao Ce's arms in shame and anger. She wanted to pull the quilt to cover herself, but was stopped by the bastard.
The man looked like a gentleman and said in a dignified manner, "Why are you covering yourself with the quilt? It's not like you're not wearing any clothes."
His gaze seemed to be real, sweeping across Su Yu's body inch by inch from top to bottom, admiring her with great interest.
Su Yu had never seen such a shameless person before. She felt embarrassed and annoyed: "How can this be called clothes?"
Zhao Ce chuckled: "How can this not be called clothes? Don't forget, who brought this dress? And who told me that if I like it, she will wear it for me to see every day in the future? Why, you were not embarrassed when you said it, but now you feel embarrassed?"
Can talking big and doing things be the same?
Su Yu's cheeks were flushed, even her toes were pink, and she was curled up tightly.
"Who is it that has been whispering in my ear every day that he loves me, shamelessly kissing and hugging me in front of so many people, and saying that he wants to stay in the palace forever and be my concubine?"
Su Yu lowered her head and pretended to be dead.
The sensitive waist was pinched again, and Su Yu couldn't help but scream, making a blushing and heart-pounding sound.
"Speak up, who is it?"
Su Yu's voice was as soft as a mosquito: "I."
"Oh."
Zhao Ce chuckled and did not continue to embarrass her. The bed curtains fell, and only one candle was left in the room. The flickering flame caused the shadow on the wall to also flicker.
The system just wants to say one thing: Keep going!
Before she fainted from exhaustion, Su Yu grabbed Zhao Ce's fingers and said in a vague and aggrieved voice: "Are you still leaving tomorrow morning?"
Zhao Ce lowered his eyes, feeling inexplicably happy, and lowered his head to kiss Su Yu: "I won't leave, I'll stay with you."
★The next day, Zhao Ce kept his promise and stayed with her.
Since being captured and brought back to the palace, Su Yu has been staying in the main courtyard.
Perhaps the impression she had during these few days was too deep, and she vaguely felt that this was where she lived.
No one came in to disturb.
The two of them hugged each other, showing a rare tenderness.
"Your Majesty."
Zhao Ce pinched her face and narrowed his eyes: "This king doesn't like this title."
Su Yu paused for a long time before she sweetly changed her address to "Brother Ace."
Zhao Ce's thin lips curled slightly: "Yeah."
Su Yu pouted her lips where he couldn't see her. When she raised her head, there was nothing strange about it. She blinked her big eyes cautiously and said, "Will you really marry me?"
"Um."
"But..." Su Yu was tangled, "Aren't you angry?"
Of course Zhao Ce was angry. Angry that she had lied to him, angry that she had been instigated by Zhao Sheng, angry that she had run away without permission, and angry that she had not believed in him.
"So you have to stay in the palace and atone for your sins until I calm down."
Su Yu's face wrinkled into a ball: "...Oh."
Su Yu was really convinced. It was the first time she knew that atonement was done on the bed. Zhao Ce was the only one in the world who would have such an outrageous idea.
After a moment of silence, Su Yu asked again, "What about Sister Lingyu?"
Zhao Ce's eyes were dangerous: "Hmm?"
Su Yu's heart tightened, and she lowered her eyes guiltily: "Don't look at me like that, I just want to ask clearly, Sister Lingyu is your savior, and she is so capable, she cooks delicious food, and she can make money, do you really have no other thoughts about her?"
Even though she knew what the answer would be, Su Yu still asked the question stubbornly, not giving up any possibility at any time or under any circumstances.
Zhao Ce scoffed at this: "There are many talented people in the world. If I can cook delicious food, why don't I hire a chef? Or do you think I'm short of money?"
"…She's also pretty."
"Not as pretty as you."
Su Yu: “…”
Although it was not the answer she wanted to hear, Su Yu couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
The system was basking in the sun on the roof, licking its fur and rolling its eyes.
A couple showing off their affection.
Suddenly, the system's gaze fixed on the tree opposite, where a man dressed in black, almost blending into the shadow of the tree branches, was squatting quietly.
The secret guard grinned slightly, the whip wound on his back had not healed yet. He squatted on the tree and couldn't figure out how the prince's beloved person escaped from under his nose.
The system shook its tail guiltily and looked away.
What a sin.
The system turned over, with its belly facing up to bask in the sun, its tail sweeping back and forth comfortably. Suddenly, the whole cat froze and its consciousness sank into the small dark room.
System: […Well done, host.]
Su Yu wanted to curse: [Good job, your mother! ]
The system responded with its last consciousness: [I don’t have a mother.]
Su Yu cried. She shouldn't have let Zhao Ce stay last night. She was only going to be teased at night, but now he didn't let her go even in the morning.
