"So the main system decided to let you, a native, go back to complete the mission. If you succeed, you can stay and receive a large sum of money. We will also give you the reward you desire most."
"If you fail the mission, there's no penalty. Your world will be gone along with you anyway."
Lin Chunhuan: “…”
"That……"
"Sister Huan, I know what you want to ask, but let's wait until this mission is over before we discuss it. Knowing it too early might not be a good thing for you."
009's words once again silenced Lin Chunhuan.
I don’t know if I have gained any benefits since she took over this system, but 009 has really grown a lot. From the beginning, he didn’t dare to respond to her.
Now he has even started to educate her, the host.
"You're teaching me how to do things."
Seeing Lin Chunhuan’s stern face, 009 fell silent, and a question slowly popped up in his head:?
"Forget it, let's do as you say." Lin Chunhuan waved his hand, and the expression on his face improved visibly. He didn't look like someone who was going to be held accountable at all.
She looked so happy that those who didn't know her would have thought she had come to the palace to receive a reward.
Because she did not participate in the second half, when she saw Xiao Cen again, Lin Chunhuan didn't know how things had developed. Anyway, neither she nor Xiao Cen were detained and left the palace smoothly.
What was strange was that Xiao Jinan and Lin Chunuan were not detained or imprisoned. Instead, they left the palace with them, and Xiao Jinan even got on the East Palace's carriage with them.
But for some reason, the atmosphere between Xiao Cen and the prince was a little strange. When they walked out of the palace gate, the prince glanced in their direction.
There was no basis for this, but Lin Chunhuan just felt that the prince was looking at her.
Xiao Cen probably felt the same way, as his expression looked even uglier than before.
"Uncle Wang, please don't bother with my brother. He's...ah." The Third Prince escorted them out of the palace. "Forget it, let's not talk about him. I'll apologize to Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang for what happened today."
"It was my fault for not thinking things through. I didn't expect those two to dare to make such a random accusation."
Lin Chunhuan didn't experience the second half, so he didn't respond to the Third Prince's words. However, Xiao Cen seemed to have a good impression of the Third Prince and said, "Third Prince, there is no need to be like this."
"A man of integrity has nothing to fear. I, Xiao Cen, am not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others."
Xiao Cen regained his composure and, exerting a little more force, grasped Rouyi in his palm. "It's too late. Third Prince, go back and rest early."
"Goodbye."
After the polite greetings, Xiao Cen took Lin Chunhuan's hand and walked towards the carriage, but before they had taken a few steps, the voice of the third prince came from behind them again.
"Aunt Wang."
Lin Chunhuan subconsciously turned around and caught a glimpse of the young man's embarrassment.
The Third Prince's expression was unclear in the darkness, so he only stammered, "I left in a hurry today. I wonder how Miss Dong is doing?"
He is a kind-hearted person.
Lin Chunhuan laughed, "Ah Qing, can I still call you that?"
"Of course!" The Third Prince spoke quickly, as if afraid of being misunderstood. "This happened suddenly. I didn't intentionally conceal my identity yesterday. I hope Aunt Wang will forgive me."
"But Aqing is my given name, so of course you can call me Aunt Wang!"
Lin Chunhuan nodded slightly.
After learning that the Third Prince was Aqing, she did go to see Dong Ling'er, but she was clearly not interested in the matter. "She asked me to thank Master Aqing on her behalf."
"But I am a humble servant, and not seeing you is the best way to express my gratitude. Please don't worry about me, Master Qing."
After standing there and waiting for a while, he did not hear any response from the Third Prince. There was only a vague figure that was unclear in the night.
Lin Chunhuan did not choose to continue waiting. He turned around and followed Xiao Cen into the carriage.
"My Ah Huan is not someone who doesn't understand things. You clearly saw through the Third Prince's thoughts, so why do you still..."
Lin Chunhuan raised her head. If she didn't have to maintain her image, she would have really wanted to roll her eyes. "In Xiao Lang's mind, am I the kind of villain who would break up lovers?"
"That's not what Ling'er actually said, but her original words were much harsher." Lin Chunhuan pursed her lips. "Ling'er is a clear-headed person with her own ideas. We just need to respect them."
“Don’t do unnecessary things.”
After she realized that she had finished speaking, Xiao Cen beside her remained silent for a long time, and his eyes were still staring at her. It took her a long time to realize that something was wrong.
Leaning back, Lin Chunhuan cleared his throat slightly, "Am I wrong?"
"There's nothing wrong with that." Xiao Cen retracted his gaze. "I just don't like the idea that maids can only be paired with guards or housekeepers, that young ladies must become wives, and that widows must find widowers. We're all human beings, so there's no such thing as being compatible or not."
"So Xiao Lang thinks that even if Ling'er is just a maid, it's not inappropriate for her to think about the prince. She doesn't need to feel unworthy at all. Is that what you mean?"
Lin Chunhuan still had a smile on his face when he said this, so Xiao Cen slowly relaxed and nodded gently in response, "Ling'er is a capable girl. There is no need to feel unworthy just because of your status."
"As for what happened yesterday, I don't think the Third Prince is a pedantic person..."
"etc."
Before Xiao Cen could finish his words, Lin Chunhuan endured for a moment, but still couldn't help but interrupt him, "Is there such a possibility?"
"Is the so-called humble status just an excuse made by Ling'er?"
"Is it possible that she simply doesn't like it, but doesn't want to make things awkward, huh?"
Xiao Cen obviously hadn't expected to hear something like this. He was speechless for a long while. After finally finding his voice, he asked in confusion, "But, why?"
"Aqing is the prince!"
"so what?"
Lin Chunhuan asked as a matter of course, which made Xiao Cen choke again. He stammered and said, "Aqing is still her savior!"
"Xiao Lang, Ling'er's savior isn't just the Third Prince. If you think about it, you're also her savior. Does that mean she has to marry you as well?"
Looking at Lin Chunhuan's cheerful smile, Xiao Cen shook his head helplessly, "You know very well that's not what I meant."
Of course Lin Chunhuan knew what Xiao Cen meant.
She couldn't say she hated this kind of man's sense of superiority, but she really couldn't like it either.
In fact, Xiao Cen's idea is easy to understand. With the status and position of the third prince, coupled with his superior appearance, he is already the most high-quality opposite sex that can appear around Dong Ling'er.
