Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

Chu Shitong, who was about to be taught a lesson, had no idea about this.

After all, he was Si Jingli's grandfather, so she had to give him some face. She woke up early in the morning, dressed up, picked a good time, and went to the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion with a bunch of things.

As soon as he got off the carriage, Chu Shitong was shocked by the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion.

She originally thought that the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion could be compared with Chu Shifeng's Prince Yu Mansion back then, but she never expected it to be so simple. Apart from its huge area, it had white walls and black tiles, and the plaque was an ordinary piece of black wood with gold characters, which had been weathered and looked like it had not been replaced for many years.

From a distance, it looks like some low-key and wealthy family, without any trace of the powerful style of a marquis's mansion.

Bishui stepped forward to hand over the invitation, but the guards at the gate just glanced at him without even a friendly look. They continued to stand guard without even looking away and said, "The young marquis has instructed that the marquis and his wife have not been in good health recently and may not have time to rest. They may not be awake at this time and cannot see guests. If His Royal Highness Prince Qi wants to see you, please wait a little longer."

Bishui came back in a daze. She really didn't expect that the guards of the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion would dare to be so disrespectful to Chu Shitong.

"Your Highness...this..."

The guard's voice just now was quite loud, and Chu Shitong also heard it in the car.

She guessed that maybe Si Jingli was deliberately being petty, so she didn't say anything. She waved her hand and asked Bishui to get off first. The carriage drove to a place that was not blocking the road and waited.

The soldier looked a little surprised when he saw this. He whispered something to the person next to him and went into the mansion when no one was paying attention.

Fuzhong.

Mu Chuyun was somewhat surprised when he heard what Bingwei said.

This obviously perfunctory reason did not make Chu Shitong angry at all.

He thought about it over and over again but couldn't figure out what was going on. Why was Chu Shitong so good-tempered?

But considering that Chu Shitong had served under Prince Yu for many years, and there had always been rumors in the capital that she was easy-going, it was estimated that she was a very patient person, and this little difficulty was nothing to her.

Mu Chuyun thought about this and suddenly understood.

"Then let her wait and let her in after lunch."

"Yes."

Chu Shitong finished reading an entire history book in the car, and his waist was numb from sitting there.

She felt strange in her heart, how could Si Jingli be so cruel as to make her wait for so long?

She asked Bishui who was beside the carriage.

"How long have you been waiting?"

Bishui said, "It's almost two hours, Your Highness. It's lunch time now. I think the Marquis and the Marquis' wife should be up by now, right?"

Chu Shitong sighed and said, "They must have gotten up a long time ago. Maybe someone didn't want them to get up."

"Your Highness, I saw those old people coming in and out of the door. The guard just now didn't even accept the invitation and refused to let us in. He must be deliberately making things difficult for you."

The clear water is almost smoking due to the sun. Although it is autumn now, it is really uncomfortable to stand under the sun all the time.

"It doesn't matter, just wait a little longer."

Originally, Chu Shitong was avoiding Si Jingli, but now that she had come to the Marquis' Mansion and had truly seen the attitude of the people in the Mansion towards her, she probably knew in her heart how angry Si Jingli was.

I’m afraid that if she leaves this time, her relationship with Si Jingli will really break up.

Now he was guarding outside the door, not only to let Si Jingli vent his anger, but also to give himself some time to think carefully about how to deal with this matter.

Fuzhong.

Si Jingli didn't sleep all night. He got up early in the morning, dressed up and waited for Chu Shitong to come.

Seeing that it was already noon and there was still no movement, he couldn't help but start to sulk.

What does Chu Shitong mean?

Don’t you even give face to the Marquis of Zhenguo?

He had given her a way out by using her grandfather's excuse, and she had even chased after him, so why had he been avoiding her?

If it were in the capital, Chu Shitong would probably have left home early the next morning after the invitation was sent.

What is she doing? Is she trying to intimidate me again?

Si Jingli became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. He was so angry that he smashed a few fine white-glazed Ding porcelain teacups. He was so angry that he hid in his room alone and couldn't hold back his tears.

Didn’t he just want Chu Shitong to coax him?

Can't this dead wood Chu Shitong feel anything at all?

……

When lunch was served, Mu Jingfeng and Meng Zhiyu looked at the table full of dishes, but there was no one at the table, which made them very angry.

Mu Jingfeng asked, "What's going on? Are those two brats starting a hunger strike today? Ah Li won't eat, and Chu Yun is fooling around with him?"

The servant beside him said hurriedly, "Lord, calm down. I heard that the young Lord is busy in the courtyard... The prince didn't sleep all night last night. He smashed a few teacups this morning. I heard that he locked himself in the room and wouldn't come out. I guess he is asleep."

"These two little bastards, they have nothing to do every day!"

Meng Zhiyu asked curiously, "Isn't Prince Qi here yet? Didn't he hand in the invitation today?"

Logically speaking, he shouldn't come in the afternoon.

The servant beside him had a strange look on his face, and stammered, "I heard... it seems that His Royal Highness Prince Qi has arrived a long time ago, and has been waiting at the door for two hours... The young marquis said that he would let her in after lunch..."

Mu Jingfeng and Meng Zhiyu were both stunned.

Mu Jingfeng was furious, "Why don't you invite His Royal Highness Prince Qi in? You don't want to live anymore, do you? Call that bastard Mu Chuyun over here too!"

The servant hurried out.

Meng Zhiyu gently stroked Mu Jingfeng's chest which was rising and falling.

"My Lord, calm down. Didn't Chu Yun want to vent his anger on Ah Li because he heard that he was bullied by Prince Qi in the capital?"

Mu Jingfeng paused and looked at Meng Zhiyu in disbelief.

"Do you know about this?"

Meng Zhiyu's eyes were somewhat evasive.

"I know a little bit..."

Mu Jingfeng felt that his wife and children were courting death, and he felt helpless due to the headache.

"Madam, the one outside is not some king of a different surname. She is the most powerful one in the court except King Yuan. Even if she has bullied A-Li, we can't treat her like this! Chu Yun has really caused me a big disaster this time!"

Meng Zhiyu did not expect Mu Chuyun to be so bold as to make Chu Shitong wait for two hours. If this matter were to spread to the capital, it would probably cause quite a stir.

She sighed and said, "Then let Chu Yun apologize to her."

Meng Zhiyu went to ask someone to invite Si Jingli.

As soon as Mu Chuyun entered the room, he was scolded by Mu Jingfeng.

Mu Jingfeng scolded him for being inappropriate, but Mu Chuyun argued that he had not done enough.

Chu Shitong finally entered the room, and before he could even see the faces of everyone present, he could smell the smell of gunpowder in the room.

"Your Highness Prince Qi." Mu Jingfeng stood up and saluted with a full of apology, "My son is really ignorant and made Your Highness Prince Qi wait for so long. This old minister apologizes to Your Highness Prince Qi on my son's behalf. I hope Your Highness will forgive him this time because he is young and ignorant. This old minister will definitely discipline him well."

Mu Chuyun had a stern face, then he stood up and saluted.

"No need to be polite."

Chu Shitong looked around the room calmly, but did not see Si Jingli.

Mu Jingfeng became even more anxious when he heard Chu Shitong didn't respond at all. When he was about to explain, he heard Chu Shitong ask.

"The prince is not here?"

Mu Jingfeng said, "The prince hasn't been resting well recently and sometimes skips lunch. Does Your Highness have something to talk to him about?"

Chu Shitong thought about it and said, "It's okay."

She didn't know what to say when she saw Si Jingli, and not seeing him now would be a form of escape.

Mu Jingfeng enthusiastically invited Chu Shitong to sit down, but before he had even started to eat, Mu Chuyun suddenly spoke again.

"I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Qi was a good friend of our A-Li. Is this true?"

Chu Shitong looked at him in confusion.

"Why not?"

Mu Chuyun sneered, his eyes suddenly sharp, "Is it true that His Royal Highness Prince Qi bullied our prince?"

Mu Jingfeng kicked Mu Chuyun hard under the table, but said kindly: "These are just rumors. Who is His Royal Highness Prince Qi? Why would he bully our A-li?"

Mu Chuyun felt pain, but he gritted his teeth and stared at Chu Shitong.

Chu Shitong guessed that Si Jingli might have arranged a good-for-nothing play to bully her, so she had to tell the truth.

"I wouldn't say I was bullying him, but it's true that I had a quarrel with him due to some differences of opinion."

"I told you that you must have bullied him!" Mu Chuyun suddenly slammed the table and stood up.

Chu Shitong's face turned cold instantly, and he slammed the chopsticks on the table with a "pa".

If the other party tried to bully her in a roundabout way, she could still manage to smooth over the situation, but seeing that the other party was obviously going to have a fight with her, who could tolerate it?

"Stop talking, you bastard!" Mu Jingfeng scolded, "Haven't you caused me enough trouble? You don't need to say anything here about this matter, get out of here and go back to your yard!"

Chu Shitong said: "No need!"

Her voice was so cold that everyone was stunned when they heard it.

"The upbringing of the Marquis of Zhenguo is good. I understand. Let's end today's visit here. I am not interested in rushing to eat a meal at your Mu family."

After saying this, Chu Shitong threw down the mat and left.

Mu Jingfeng and Meng Zhiyu hurriedly caught up.

"Your Highness Prince Qi, please stay! This is a misunderstanding! Chu Yun didn't mean that!"

Mu Chuyun shouted behind her: "I know A-li's character better than you do. Don't think you can bully him just because you are a prince!"

Chu Shitong suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at him angrily.

"Which eye of yours saw me bullying him?"

"I don't need to see it, it must be you who bullied him!"

Mu Chuyun was even more reasonable than Chu Shitong. "Don't think that I will be afraid of you just because you are the King Qi. I don't need to hear the details to know that it is your fault. If you are really right, our A-li is an unreasonable person, right?"

Mu Jingfeng angrily picked up the wooden fan hanging beside him and smashed it on Mu Chuyun's head.

"If you dare to talk nonsense in front of King Qi again, I will beat you to death!"

Seeing that Mu Chuyun had caused such a big trouble, Meng Zhiyu quickly knelt down and pleaded, "My Lord, please calm down. Chuyun didn't mean it. He was just so angry that he lost his mind. I'll have someone take him down right away."

Having said that, he quickly winked at the servant beside him.

Mu Chuyun was forcibly dragged away by several people and he struggled desperately.

"You are just bullying A-li because he is young and innocent! How did King Yu treat you in the past? How are you going to repay King Yu? Who in Beiqing doesn't know about this?!"

Chu Shitong's face turned pale in an instant, and the anger in her eyes had already turned into actual murderous intent.

The incident with Chu Shifeng is the scar that she cannot bear to mention.

She doesn't think she did anything wrong.

But she knew that in the eyes of the world, she would be seen as ungrateful and dishonorable.

Mu Jingfeng was so angry that he walked up to him and slapped him twice without saying a word. While he was dizzy, he knocked him unconscious and ordered people to carry him out.

Then, when he was about to say something nice to Chu Shitong again, he turned around and saw Si Jingli who was late not far away.

Chu Shitong noticed Mu Jingfeng's change and looked back.

Si Jingli stood there in a daze, wearing a red dress, like a fox demon walking out of a painting, handsome and charming. The jewellery he wore was layered on top of each other, and the gems sparkled in the sun.

His eyes kept shaking as he looked at Chu Shitong, and the fear in his eyes was so obvious.

Chu Shitong ignored the surprise in front of him and said, "Your Highness is really late."

When Si Jingli heard Mu Chuyun's disrespectful words just now, he felt that his uncle had suddenly gone crazy.

How the hell could he say such a thing?!

He didn't even dare to mention this matter in front of Chu Shitong. How dare Mu Chuyun point at her and scold her?

Isn't this courting death?

"Chu Shitong..."

Si Jingli was breathing rapidly. He had long forgotten that he was angry. He just felt that if he said something wrong next, he and Chu Shitong would be completely finished.

Chu Shitong looked at him coldly, "The show is over. Your Highness, do you want to come and see how miserable I look after someone stabbed me in the back?"

This was the first time that Chu Shitong called himself "the King" in front of him.

Si Jingli immediately became anxious and explained in a panic: "Don't get me wrong, uncle didn't mean that... No, my uncle hit his head a few days ago... He said nonsense, don't believe it..."

"Your Highness, there is no need to say more."

Chu Shitong stepped forward and met his gaze without dodging at all.

But it was so cold that it seemed as if there was an unmeltable iceberg hidden inside.

"I already know what your Highness wants to express."

Although she knew that Si Jingli was not such a sarcastic person, and what Mu Chuyun said might not have anything to do with him, she was sure that it was probably instigated by Si Jingli.

"I have already seen the hospitality provided by the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion."

Chu Shitong looked back at Mu Jingfeng and Meng Zhiyu who were at a loss.

"When I return to the capital, I will report the truth to my father. It is said that the customs and people of Quanzhou are very good, but in my opinion, they are just so-so. Goodbye."

After Chu Shitong finished speaking, he walked around Si Jingli and left.

Si Jingli realized it belatedly and stretched out his hand to grab Chu Shitong, but as expected, he caught nothing.

His whole body was shaking, and his eyes, which were already a little red, were now filled with tears.

Even breathing was painful for him, because he knew very well that he had completely pissed off Chu Shitong. He must hate him to death for poking her scar like this.

"wait wait wait!"

Si Jingli chased forward and grabbed Chu Shitong's wrist tightly.

"Don't go, I have something to say, this is not what you think!"

"His Royal Highness."

Chu Shitong had regained his composure in just a few steps, but the emotions in his eyes were so complex that it was hard to tell clearly.

"I think what happened before was indeed my fault."

Chu Shitong suddenly said this, leaving Si Jingli at a loss for words.

Chu Shitong continued, "But now, I feel like I have nothing to talk to you about."
