Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

Chu Shifeng suddenly glared at Chu Shitong. The malicious look that had come towards him suffocated Chu Shitong for a second like a cold light coming out of its sheath.

"Brother...?"

Chu Shifeng finally came back to his senses, put away his uncontrollable irritability, and fell into a long silence.

It seemed a little embarrassing, and also seemed to feel that something was wrong.

After all, this matter has nothing to do with Chu Shitong.

Seeing him like this, Chu Shitong finally felt relieved and continued to comfort him, adding fuel to the fire.

"Don't be angry, my brother. Even if he succeeds in sowing discord between us, my brother will definitely look down on him."

Chu Shifeng did not speak either. He just sat on the chair with his head bowed low. His eyes were cold and sinister as he stared at the fire in a trance. His eyelashes were glowing orange-red. His high nose bridge and thin lips were tense. The few strands of hair on his temples were about to fall onto the stove and get burned.

Chu Shitong was like a good person and reached out to help him comb the strands of hair behind his ears.

"Brother, be careful. What if your hair gets burned?"

To be honest, she really didn't know what Chu Shifeng was thinking about.

With Chu Shifeng's arrogant character, if he knew that there was a man who dared to covet him in private and tried to have a sexual relationship with him, Chu Shifeng would immediately find someone to drag him away and beat him to death to vent his hatred.

Now that he remained silent, Chu Shitong felt a little uncertain.

Could it be that... Chu Shifeng is really thinking seriously?

Her mind was full of wild ideas, and she was even thinking at that moment, what if these two really got together, who would go to deal with Chu Shixuan?

If it really works out, would I be considered their matchmaker?

The moment he was about to withdraw his hand, Chu Shifeng suddenly grabbed his wrist.

The wrists are white, slender and soft.

Chu Shifeng stared at her meaningfully again and again, which made Chu Shitong feel a chill down her spine.

She seemed to have never seen Chu Shifeng look like this before.

Even when he was caught cheating, he had never seen it before.

That gloomy brow and sharp eyes are like the determination of a person who has thrown everything into the air after the darkness deep in his heart has been discovered.

"What's wrong, my royal brother?" Chu Shitong asked, pretending to be calm.

"Xiao Qi, do you think this is normal?"

Chu Shifeng's unexpected words made Chu Shitong pause slightly.

"What's normal?"

Chu Shifeng's tone became more serious. "I'm asking, do you think it's normal for a man to like other men?"

Chu Shitong's brain paused for a moment. Due to her long-standing habit, she would not answer directly. Because she could not figure out what the other party wanted to hear, she subconsciously replied vaguely: "I don't think there is such a thing as normal or abnormal in this question."

Many times, when people ask questions, they don’t want to hear the answer from the person being asked, but rather want to hear the answer that they are thinking.

Chu Shifeng loosened his grip a little and continued to ask, "What does Xiaoqi think about this?"

Chu Shitong noticed that his expression was still as cold as a venomous snake staring at him, so he had to patiently continue, "If a person's mind is broad enough and his horizons are broad enough, he will naturally not think it is a big deal. After all, in the former Tianxuan Kingdom, many men in Jiangzhou were homosexual, and it was common for wealthy families to keep male pets. This was also a common and normal thing.

But if it were now, Bei Qing would have long since changed his habit of having male love affairs, and male lovers would not be common. People might find it strange when they first see her, but whether it was before or now, the matter is the same, just in a different time and with different people, so whether it is normal or not is a matter of personal preference. "

Chu Shifeng stared at Chu Shitong for a few seconds, the defensive coldness on his face gradually dissipated, and then he let go of Chu Shitong's wrist.

"So Xiao Qi thinks, is this normal?"

Chu Shitong rubbed his red wrist, laughed dryly and said, "I don't think it's a big deal. After all, my brother is really handsome, and he is one of the most handsome men in the capital. Even I am always amazed by his appearance every time I see him. Everyone has a yearning for beauty. My brother doesn't need to worry about it."

Chu Shifeng finally felt better. He snorted coldly and said, "It's a good thing you're not blind."

Chu Shitong found it very strange. He could somehow sense some "good mood" from his words.

She immediately changed her words and said, "Royal brother, although I said this, I just wanted to prove that you are a handsome man. It has nothing to do with Lord Lu. Your Royal Brother is so handsome and has such high standards, how could he possibly be interested in Lord Lu?"

Chu Shitong was already starting to get anxious.

They should not get together for no apparent reason.

God knows why Chu Shifeng's focus is so strange. Could it be that he really has some homosexual tendency?

No, if there was, why would he marry a concubine?

She stared at Chu Shifeng, waiting for his answer.

"This king is not blind."

Chu Shifeng poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp. "I don't like him, a prostitute's son who is not presentable."

Chu Shitong breathed a sigh of relief. It was good enough as long as he didn't like it.

She suddenly came up with such a dirty trick some time ago. Not only could she teach Lu Jiushang a lesson, but she could also cut off his future with Chu Shifeng and annoy Chu Shifeng at the same time.

If they really became a couple, Chu Shitong would want to strangle himself to death. What a big deal.

Chu Shifeng slowly put down his wine glass and said softly, "Xiao Qi, don't tell anyone else about this."

"Don't worry, my brother."

"Tell Si Jingli to shut up too. I'm not causing trouble for him now just for your sake."

Chu Shitong said: "Don't worry, my brother. His Royal Highness only gave me the portrait. He has a simple mind and can't think so much."

"That's good."

The atmosphere finally eased a little, and Chu Shitong took the initiative to heat up the wine.

As soon as the wine was put on the stove, Lu Jiushang came back.

When Chu Shitong heard the voice, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

You really know how to pick the right time.

Lu Jiushang seemed quite happy.

Watching his brisk steps, Chu Shitong lowered his head to hide the corner of his mouth that he could no longer conceal.

"Your Highness, the money for the shop repairs has been settled. The accountant asked me to send you the bill. All you need to do is stamp it."

Chu Shifeng took the bill with a cold face and took a look at it. Chu Shitong also looked at it curiously.

The miscellaneous charges on the bill piled up to thirty thousand taels.

Chu Shitong whispered "Wow", Lu Jiushang was not only a ninja, but also a ninja who dared to ask for a huge price.

It is estimated that his rice shop would not make more than 30,000 taels in five years. It would cost less than 5,000 taels to demolish and rebuild the entire shop. Yet, he dared to charge 30,000 taels for repairs. He is indeed a ruthless person.

Under normal circumstances, thirty thousand taels would be nothing to Chu Shifeng.

But things are different now.

His eyes fell on Chu Shitong's curious face and he asked softly, "Have you finished reading it?"

Chu Shitong immediately turned his head awkwardly and looked at the liquor on the stove.

"finish watching."

The next moment, the bill was torn into pieces by Chu Shifeng and thrown into the fire.

Lu Jiushang stood there in a daze.

"Your Highness?"

He didn't understand why they had agreed to pay for him to rebuild the shop, but now they were going back on their word.

Did he put in too much money?

But this is nothing to Chu Shifeng, right?

Chu Shitong then boldly began to add fuel to the fire, "Master Lu, isn't the cost of repairing your shop too high?"

Lu Jiushang suppressed his somewhat out-of-control expression and pretended to be calm, saying, "My shop counts as part of it, the cellar and the rice warehouse also count as part of it, and a lot of the rice that was burned by His Royal Highness Prince Qi was newly delivered. Rice is more expensive in winter, so I have already calculated it based on the cost price, and I definitely didn't ask for a penny more."

Chu Shitong's words stopped there. After hearing this, he lowered his head and started baking rice cakes. The rest depended on Chu Shifeng's performance.

But it seemed that Chu Shifeng's anger had mostly subsided.

Without even looking at Lu Jiushang, he said casually, "I've thought about this matter again and feel that Xiaoqi did nothing wrong. You destroyed Xiaoqi's warehouse of rice first, and she burned your shop later. It's tit for tat, and there's no need for me to clean up the mess for you."

Because the fact that Lu Jiushang had hidden his portrait had not been made public, Chu Shifeng could only talk about the rice shop incident.

After all, if this matter were to be spoken out openly, it would probably not be good for anyone.

Lu Jiushang's expression was extremely puzzled, as if he had heard something absurd and incomprehensible.

"Your Highness, didn't we just agree on this? I did not destroy her rice warehouse. I did not do that. Your Highness Prince Qi's evidence is not sufficient as proof."

Chu Shifeng raised his head impatiently, his eyes showing some disgust, "But now I think that it was you who did it."

Lu Jiushang looked bewildered. "Did His Highness believe the evidence provided by His Highness Prince Qi? Can you push the blame onto me based on the one-sided words of a few of her men?"

"Don't you have any evidence to prove that it wasn't you who did it?"

Chu Shifeng sneered, with a malicious smile on his lips, "Do you have evidence to prove that you didn't do it?"

Lu Jiushang couldn't hold it in any longer.

Isn't this rogue logic?

How could he have evidence to prove he didn't do it? How could he prove he didn't do something he didn't do?

If I can prove it with evidence, doesn't it mean that I have already prepared to frame Chu Shitong? It will be even harder to explain at that time.

Lu Jiushang's brows were twisted together, and he suppressed his displeasure on his face with a deep hatred, and said, "Your Highness, I cannot prove this."

"Isn't that enough?" Chu Shifeng said, "Then I can no longer take care of your matter."

"But......"

Lu Jiushang wanted to struggle a little longer.

Chu Shifeng suddenly said, "Xiao Qi, your shop has such little profit, how did he bully you in the past?"

Chu Shitong smiled a little in his heart. It seemed that Chu Shifeng was looking for trouble and wanted to take revenge.

Seeing Lu Jiuchang's visibly panicked expression, Chu Shitong echoed him, "Lord Lu previously sent people to cut off my suppliers in Jiangzhou, and also sent people to my shop to stir up trouble and start a price war with me. When he couldn't win, he spread rumors among the people that my rice contains red rice. At the moment, I can only think of these few things, but there should be many more."

"Your Highness Prince Qi, please stop slandering me." Lu Jiushang's face flushed red. "I don't know anything about what you are talking about."

"That was done by your subordinates. I'm afraid they wouldn't dare to do this without your order."

Chu Shifeng patted Chu Shitong's shoulder in satisfaction, with a bit of malicious smile in his eyes, as if he had finally found a reason to vent his anger, and said: "I regard Xiaoqi as my brother, and you are bullying Xiaoqi like this, which is a slap in my face. Lu Jiushang, do you know your crime?"

The change on Lu Jiushang's face was unbearable to look at.

That strange confusion was mixed with ferocious hatred, as well as a sense of pity for being wronged and an indescribable sense of shame.

So rich that one can't take their eyes away.

"Your Highness?"

Even the tone of his voice became irrational and out of tune.

Chu Shitong used a delicate little clip to pick up the hot wine pot, poured the wine into Chu Shifeng's wine glass, and said, "Royal brother, Lord Lu will not plead guilty."

Chu Shifeng even picked up the wine glass and blew on it with satisfaction, and said casually: "You don't admit your guilt, right? Someone drag him out and give him 300 strokes of the cane."

It happened in a flash. The moment he finished speaking, several guards rushed in and pushed Lu Jiushang to leave.

This is not just one or two times.

Three hundred strokes, and he is a guard of Prince Yu's Mansion. After three hundred strokes, won't he end up like Si Xunhuan?

By then, let alone attending court, he would have to stay alive even if he had to be paralyzed in bed for the rest of his life. It was obvious that Chu Shifeng wanted to be ruthless to him.

Lu Jiushang couldn't pretend anymore and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Your Highness! Wait! I haven't explained yet! These things have nothing to do with me!"

Chu Shifeng waved his hands, and Lu Jiushang was picked up by several guards and dragged out. He kept making excuses, but Chu Shifeng was too lazy to listen.

Chu Shitong leaned back in the chair, holding the cup of hot liquor, and thoroughly enjoyed this slightly bullying pleasure.

"Royal brother, Lord Lu may not be guilty of such a crime. He may not have done it on purpose, but he did it on purpose. If you break his legs, how will he attend court tomorrow?"

Chu Shifeng blew on the liquor and impatiently drank it down in one gulp. The strong liquor felt burning hot in his throat, and it was so refreshing that he relaxed a lot.

He breathed a sigh of relief, squinted his eyes and said, "Why not just ask for leave? He is not an important official anyway, so even if he doesn't go to court, the emperor won't care."

"It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. If I take three months, I'm afraid my father will notice it, and it will be hard to say to Prince Rong."

"What do you think, Xiao Qi?"

Chu Shitong smiled harmlessly, and said the softest harsh words in the purest tone, "Why not change the caning to a slap on the face? After all, Lord Lu has no chance to speak during court. It's enough for him to be there. It doesn't matter whether he can speak or not."

Chu Shifeng thought about it and said, "That's right, then let's change it to 300 slaps."

Not long after, Lu Jiushang's painful wails were heard outside the door.

It was so cruel.

Just by listening to the noise, you can tell how ruthless the people in Prince Yu’s Mansion are.

Lu Jiushang was just a minor official in the court, and no one would care if he was gone. However, Chu Shifeng still had to worry about whether Prince Rong would report this person to Chu Shiyu.

If this matter really gets out of hand, he will be in trouble too.

So in the end the number of slaps was changed to one hundred.
