Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

Chu Shitong couldn't help it, and his hoarse voice rose unconsciously, as if he was refutating in an unbelievable tone.

"Who is abducting whom?"

Chu Shitong swears to God that she did not lie when it comes to her and Si Jingli.

Mu Jingfeng paused and was speechless for a moment. He seemed to have guessed something from Chu Shitong's words.

The original anger was inexplicably suppressed a lot, and even the voice became a little weaker.

"What your Highness Prince Qi meant by this is..."

"Why is the door open?"

Si Jingli came back in a hurry and went straight to Chu Shitong as soon as he entered the door.

Holding the soup in his hands, he had a silly smile on his face.

"Tong'er, luckily I was smart. I made some preparations in advance when you were not here yesterday. The kitchen started making this lily soup this morning..."

"Cough cough."

Chu Shitong coughed twice and signaled him to shut up with his eyes.

"what happened?"

Si Jingli put down the soup and squatted beside her with concern. His clear and slightly silly peach blossom eyes looked at her with concern.

"But your waist still hurts?"

As he said that, Si Jingli put his hands on her waist gently.

"I'd like to give you a massage, but the room is too stuffy so you open the door to get some fresh air? How about I carry you outside for a walk?"

Chu Shitong's face had turned red with embarrassment and confusion. A sigh of relief seemed to be heard not far away. He turned around and saw that Mu Jingfeng, who had looked like he was ready to kill someone just now, now had a completely different expression on his face.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, as if he suddenly felt relieved after knowing the exact location, and even a little proud of his grandson.

"..."

Chu Shitong didn't say anything, but her fists hardened.

Si Jingli was unaware of this and kept asking about her well-being.

"Don't worry, I'll take you out and make sure your grandfather and uncle won't see you."

Chu Shitong laughed out of anger and was speechless for a moment. She patted Si Jingli's shoulder and pointed to Mu Jingfeng's position.

Si Jingli looked over with a confused look on his face, and when he saw the grandfather he had mentioned in the previous sentence sitting steadily opposite him, the expression on his face instantly shattered.

Mu Jingfeng cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, Ah Li, you and King Qi..."

"Why are you here?"

Si Jingli interrupted him with a look of disgust.

Mu Jingfeng said, "Why can't I be here? You've been kidnapping His Royal Highness Prince Qi for so long, I came to see what's going on."

Just when Si Jingli was about to kick him out, he suddenly remembered that Chu Shitong was only wearing an inner garment, so he immediately took off his outer robe and put it on Chu Shitong. He wrapped Chu Shitong tightly as if he was protecting something precious, and stood up to stand in front of her, glaring at Mu Jingfeng and cursing.

"Who let you in? How dare you come in? Why are you so disrespectful to your elders?"

Mu Jingfeng was scolded so harshly that his beard stood up in anger.

"You, you, you! You little beast! I haven't even asked you about your crime yet, but you're asking me about it!"

"Not only am I going to question you about your crime, but you have to get out of here right now! You are not allowed to stay here!"

Si Jingli was spoiled to the point of being completely disrespectful in front of Mu Jingfeng. It was okay for him to point at his nose and scold the Marquis of Zhenguo, who was respected by everyone in Beiqing.

Mu Jingfeng stood up with his sleeves swung angrily, turned his back and said, "Do you think I want to see you two? If I don't make things clear today, don't even think about kicking me out!"

Si Jingli was extremely annoyed. The time they were having alone together was completely ruined by his blind grandfather. "Get out now. If you have anything to ask, I'll tell you later. Stop being an eyesore here."

"No! You two must explain to me clearly what your relationship is today! Don't think that I am confused just because I am old."

Si Jingli took a deep breath, glanced at Chu Shitong intentionally or unintentionally, and his expression suddenly became worried.

He really wanted his grandfather to approve of his relationship with Chu Shitong, but... he was not sure whether Chu Shitong wanted to.

Chu Shitong picked up the teacup and took a sip. Under the current circumstances, he had to admit it even if he wanted to. Otherwise, he would offend Mu Jingfeng and then Si Jingli.

The room fell into a brief silence.

Mu Jingfeng sneered and said, "You two don't even have the courage to tell the truth, do you?"

Just as Chu Shitong was about to speak, Si Jingli suddenly held her shoulders, his expression more serious than she had ever seen.

Chu Shitong said, "Your Highness, let me speak for you."

If Si Jingli were to speak, he would probably start scolding again after just two or three sentences.

These grandfather and grandson are more noisy than each other.

"No." Si Jingli's attitude was surprisingly firm. "I am already a man. I have to take responsibility. Let me speak."

Chu Shitong was suddenly amused.

Wow, the young master now knows that men should be responsible.

Mu Jingfeng kept mumbling, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you're still a man. I've raised you for eighteen years and never heard you say such things. You said it so fluently to His Royal Highness Prince Qi..."

There was an inexplicable smell of vinegar in the room.

Si Jingli said: "Chu Shitong and I...we have already decided to spend our lives together!"

Mu Jingfeng didn't react to this, but said coldly: "Without the adults' consent, it is called a private marriage."

"No matter what you think of us, I only want her in my life. It doesn't matter if you don't agree, but you can't stop me."

Mu Jingfeng smiled, "What if I try to stop you? What can you do?"

Chu Shitong felt that perhaps there was something wrong with the way Si Jingli said it.

If Mu Jingfeng really wanted to stop him, he had plenty of ways to trap Si Jingli.

Mu Jingfeng even has the ability to use military power to force Chu Shitong to give up Si Jingli.

It seems that this sentence really allowed Mu Jingfeng to grasp Si Jingli's sore spot.

But Chu Shitong was obviously overthinking it. In response to Mu Jingfeng's words, Si Jingli just suddenly showed a sly smile, like a clever little fox, and changed his tone and said, "Then I'll tell my mother."

Mu Jingfeng: "..."

Chu Shitong: “…”

Didn’t the previous princess pass away a long time ago?

It is said that the Marquis of Zhenguo was furious because of the death of the previous princess. He made a scene in the capital over the princess' burial. He ignored the dissuasion of civil and military officials and took the princess' body back to Quanzhou for burial.

Could it be that the “look for” that Si Jingli mentioned is... going to the tomb of the late princess?

Does this trick work?

Chu Shitong has always believed that once a person dies, he is dead, and there is no reason for a living person to be threatened by a dead person.

What surprised her was that Mu Jingfeng, who had been confident just now, was like a cat whose neck was suddenly grabbed after hearing the words.

He said with a lack of confidence: "You... do you think such words can threaten me?"

Si Jingli suddenly thumped his head, knelt down beside Chu Shitong, buried his head in Chu Shitong's legs, and started crying.

"Mom, look at grandpa. I finally found someone I love, but grandpa wants to separate us..."

Chu Shitong: “…”

What a drama!

Coming to the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion today was like entering a theater.

As soon as Si Jingli started crying, no matter how strong Mu Jingfeng was, he instantly became like a chicken with its courage cut off, and couldn't help but explode.

"You little brat! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Si Jingli ignored Mu Jingfeng, looking extremely aggrieved.

"Mom, I won't live without Chu Shitong. It's a good opportunity for us to go down and reunite. It also saves me from having to look at people's faces every day..."

As he was shouting, Chu Shitong suddenly realized something was wrong.

I reached out to touch Si Jingli's face, and he was already in tears.

Chu Shitong's heart felt as if it was stabbed by a knife, and it suddenly felt painful.

It turns out that Si Jingli was not pretending to cry, he really missed the princess first.

Mu Jingfeng was about to burst, he had no way to defend himself.

"Who wants to separate you? Stop complaining here! I didn't say you two can't be together!"

Si Jingli suddenly stopped crying. He wiped the tears from his face and looked at Mu Jingfeng.

"This is what you said."

Mu Jingfeng looked at the speed at which his expression changed in shock.

Si Jingli said: "Then you are not allowed to interfere in the affairs between Chu Shitong and me from now on, otherwise I will go to my mother's tablet to complain, saying that you abused me and wanted to separate us."

Mu Jingfeng felt that he was being severely teased by this little bastard, but he couldn't take back what he had said. He gritted his teeth in anger and pointed at Si Jingli and was about to curse him.

Si Jingli predicted it in advance and spoke faster than him.

"Mom! He scolded me!"

The words that Mu Jingfeng had been holding back for a long time were suddenly stuck in his throat.

Si Jingli snorted and laughed, saying, "Old man, if you dare to point fingers at me again, I will tell my mother that you ordered my uncle to bully his daughter-in-law!"

The room suddenly fell into a kind of dead silence.

Chu Shitong rubbed his head with a headache.

She knew that if she let these two quarrelsome guys continue, one of them would be the first to speak out the truth.

When Mu Jingfeng heard these words, his gaze towards Chu Shitong suddenly became solemn and complicated.

Chu Shitong was just about to explain when Mu Jingfeng suddenly spoke seriously.

"Ah Li, please go out. I need to talk to His Royal Highness Prince Qi alone."

Si Jingli hugged Chu Shitong tightly.

"I don't want to give you the opportunity to sow discord."

However, Mu Jingfeng's expression was extremely serious, as if he had led an army of 300,000 to fight on the battlefield.

He gave up on talking to Si Jingli and asked Chu Shitong directly: "Does your highness Prince Qi think so too? What I want to talk to you about is about your mother."

Chu Shitong's eyes changed quietly.

It seems she was right.

Mu Jingfeng stared at her face for a long time when they first met.

She was well dressed at the time and didn't think much of it.

Later, Mu Jingfeng rushed into the room and saw her with disheveled hair. He once again stared at her with that same gaze for several seconds.

Just now, Si Jingli suddenly said "daughter-in-law", and Mu Jingfeng used that scrutinizing look again.

Chu Shitong has always been concerned about this matter, because Mu Jingfeng was a founding general. It was he who led the army to attack the capital first, and it was he who personally sent people to arrest the royal family of the Tianxuan Dynasty.

It is said that Xuan Wu Yue stayed in Qun Yu Tower for several days, but was finally forced to commit suicide by him.

He may well—

Or to be more precise, he must have seen Xuan Wu Yue!

If not for this, Mu Jingfeng's three pauses in gaze could not be explained at all.

"His Royal Highness."

Chu Shitong took the initiative to say, "Please go to the kitchen to see if the milk cake is ready."

Si Jingli pulled the corner of Chu Shitong's clothes with some resistance.

"Tongtong, what if he says bad things about me to you after I leave?"

Mu Jingfeng simply couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

He was a mighty general in those days, dressed in fine clothes and riding a mighty horse. Many women in the whole northern youth were attracted to him and were willing to marry him. But who would have thought that forty years later, he would have such a bootlicker grandson.

Si Jingli's aggrieved expression and reluctant eyes when he spoke made him the number one bootlicker in Quanzhou!

Licking to the point of being outrageous!

Chu Shitong patted his hands and said, "Don't worry, I won't believe it."

"Then...then don't believe him." Si Jingli said aggrievedly, "Swear."

Chu Shitong had no choice but to hold out his hand and say, "I swear."

Si Jingli then left, looking back every three steps.

As soon as the person left, Mu Jingfeng couldn't help but start cursing.

"Your Highness Prince Qi, how can you stand this brat?"

Mu Jingfeng initially thought that Si Jingli was at a disadvantage, but when he saw Si Jingli's clingy and servile look, he really began to feel sorry for Chu Shitong.

I don’t know how Chu Shitong could tolerate Si Jingli when he was so busy running back and forth in the capital.

Chu Shitong was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing.

"Your Highness is so straightforward and adorable. There are not many men in the world who can treat others as sincerely as Your Highness."

This is also one of the reasons why Chu Shitong likes Si Jingli.

He is sincere and real.

He would not hide his thoughts and ideas, and would not let Chu Shitong guess.

Mu Jingfeng sighed, feeling disappointed with his friend.

The room fell silent again.

Mu Jingfeng seemed to be thinking about how to start the conversation and remained silent for a long while.

He didn't speak actively, and Chu Shitong would never be the first to reveal the information he knew. He just sat in a chair and drank tea peacefully.

After drinking nearly half a cup of tea, Mu Jingfeng raised his head and lowered his voice. His old eyes and brows were clear without a trace of turbidity.

"Does His Royal Highness Prince Qi know Princess Tianxuan Xuan Wuyue?"

Chu Shitong said: "My Lord, if you have anything to say, why don't you just say it directly? Perhaps I already know what you dare not say."

She took the initiative to extend an olive branch, hoping to get Mu Jingfeng to say something useful.

But Mu Jingfeng seemed to still be hesitating.

Chu Shitong did not urge him, but said in a very considerate manner: "If the Marquis does not know what to say, I see it is getting late, so I should go back."

Mu Jingfeng immediately asked, "Your Highness Prince Qi, have you ever seen the portrait of Princess Tianxuan?"

Chu Shitong was calm.

"I've seen it."

Mu Jingfeng paused, looked at Chu Shitong's calm expression, and asked cautiously: "Then... has His Royal Highness Prince Qi ever doubted the relationship between you and Xuan Wuyue..."

"It's just what the Marquis thinks."

Chu Shitong was too lazy to hide. She was now completely sure that Si Jingli was the best person to control Mu Jingfeng.

As long as Si Jingli's heart is with her, Mu Jingfeng will never do anything bad to her.

Mu Jingfeng's expression cracked a little and he smiled awkwardly.

"How does Your Highness Prince Qi know what I want to ask... Maybe I am just curious."

"Then take it as a question from the Lord's curiosity."

Chu Shitong's attitude remained the same. No matter what the other party did, he remained calm as always.

She didn't reveal any information, but it seemed like she revealed the most information.

Mu Jingfeng pondered for a moment, glanced outside the door, and asked in a low voice: "Then... does A-li know about this?"

Chu Shitong shook his head.
