Chapter 21
Su Yingxue walked into the room with doubts. The luxurious and elegant room had the fragrance of light bamboo leaves.
She walked around the screen and saw a hand reaching out from the bed. She sat down and wanted to check that person’s pulse.
However, just as she pressed her fingers on the wrist, she was pulled into the curtain.
Su Yingxue was pinned down by someone. She tried her best to prop herself up against the man’s chest, and her eyes were filled with disgust.
“You’re on my bed, and yet you’re telling me to scram?”
The man’s magnetic voice was like a soft snake coiling around Su Yingxue’s body.
“Ninth Prince?”
Su Yingxue’s brain exploded!
What kind of plot was this?
She was actually tricked into this man’s bed?
Oh no, he was the one who dragged her to bed. She was not stupid enough to be tricked into bed.
But was this the main point?
The point was, this man shamelessly teased, “Your reaction is a little cute.”
“Cute my foot!”
Despite her status and upbringing, Su Yingxue could not help but curse.
“Since you scolded me, you must be prepared to be punished.”
Through the black veil, Su Yingxue saw the dark color in the man’s eyes. It was something she did not understand, but it was something she was instinctively afraid of…
Only a fool would wait to be punished by him.
The smart Su Yingxue would naturally negotiate with him directly. “Your Highness, your old injuries have yet to heal. Did you take the medicine I mentioned last time?”
Chu Yihan placed his hands on both sides of her head, and half of his weight was on her.
Su Yingxue gritted her teeth. Very good, this man was very heavy.
“That’s why you paid a lot of money to invite me over because something is wrong with your body?”
Chu Yihan nodded. “Yes.”
Every time he said a word, his breath would hit Su Yingxue’s face.
“So let me treat you, Your Highness.”
What if he dies if she was too late?
Chu Yihan chuckled. “Alright.”
“Your Highness, let me get up first. There’s no way to treat you like this.” Su Yingxue struggled to push him away, but she was not surprised to find that she could not move him.
Chu Yihan deliberately suppressed her a little more. His low and hoarse laughter carried a hint of disdain. “The medical center has been boasting about you, but now you can’t treat patients like that? You should tear down the signboard as soon as possible.”
Chu Yihan’s eyes were still smiling a moment ago, but the next moment, he suddenly stood up and vomited.
Su Yingxue took the opportunity to jump off the bed. The corners of her mouth curled up into a provocative arc. “Your Highness, are you still going to smash the signboard of the medical center?”
Chu Yihan placed his finger on the tip of his nose and frowned slightly. “It’s sweet?”
Su Yingxue nodded and smiled. “Your Highness, you took my medicine, so there’s the smell of ephedra on your body. The melon stem and ephedra have an extremely good effect on inducing vomiting. Since you have tried it, how do you feel?”
“Not bad.” Chu Yihan lifted his robe and sat down. He didn’t show any anger after being teased by Su Yingxue.
But Su Yingxue was furious!
This deception and advantage-taking were forgotten just like that.
“Your Highness, when do you plan to return the jade pendant to me?”
Su Yingxue’s eyes were fixed on Chu Yihan’s waist.
Chu Yihan held the jade pendant in his hand and gently brushed it with his fingers. His delicate movements were like caressing a woman’s skin.
There was a hint of laziness on his fairy-like face. “There are no such plans for the time being.”
Su Yingxue smiled. Very good!
“Then it’s better to find someone else to treat your old illness.”
This stinky prince can go to hell!
Su Yingxue suppressed her anger and turned around to leave.
Chu Yihan pulled out a handkerchief and said leisurely, “The first daughter of the Marquis’s Manor tried to harm me. If I were to investigate this matter, it should be fascinating.”
Su Yingxue’s eyes were cold. “Your Highness, you’re framing me.”
“Although the medicine you prescribed for me has the effect of healing, it can also weaken my body, allowing you to find an opportunity to steal the jade pendant.” Chu Yihan casually exposed Su Yingxue’s thoughts.
Su Yingxue frowned slightly. “So what? You, the dignified Ninth Prince, stole someone else’s jade pendant. Isn’t that…”
The word “shameless” was still on the tip of her tongue when Su Yingxue’s eyes widened.
Bastard!
When did he steal her handkerchief?
Chu Yihan also kept Su Yingxue’s handkerchief in his pocket. “It’s another matter if I’m shameless, but your handkerchief is an apology to me.”
“Chu Yihan, give it back to me!”
Su Yingxue could not help but pounce on him!
The two people were entangled, but Su Yingxue was at a disadvantage.
Chu Yihan locked her in his room and let her scream.
Su Yingxue’s temper, which she had been suppressing for a long time, exploded at Chu Yihan. “How long do you want to keep me here?”
This bastard prince!
Chu Yihan’s lips curled into a gentle smile when he heard her voice.
Mo Qi’s mouth twitched as he listened from outside the courtyard. “Master, how long do you want to keep Miss Su here?”
“Let her go tomorrow.”
“Can I ask you something?”
Chu Yihan was in a good mood after deceiving Su Yingxue. “Speak.”
“You… aren’t you afraid that Miss Su will hate you to death?”
Who would chase a girl like this?
The first time he stole the jade pendant, the second time he locked her in the bedroom, the third time…
He really couldn’t understand his master’s train of thought.
Weren’t there too many roundabouts?
Chu Yihan looked at him with disdain. “You don’t have a woman you like. How would you understand?”
Letting a woman stay in a room filled with his scent for a night would definitely leave a deep impression on her heart!
Mo Qi lowered his head.
If he could, he would never want to know.
Afraid of being single for a lifetime.
Su Yingxue gritted her teeth. She had thought of all the possible ways to get out of Chu Yihan’s room. She even tore down the roof.
She was tired from all this, so she simply fell asleep on Chu Yihan’s bed.
Marquis’s Manor, Sunset Court.
Su Yurou was grounded as a punishment. She tossed and turned for several nights without a good rest, and her eyes were swollen like two walnuts.
Yuan Ruo brought over breakfast. Su Yurou was disgusted by it. “What is this? There’s not even any meat or fish. I don’t want to eat it!”
“Miss, this is the Marquis’s order. He said that your body is not well and that you should have a light diet.”
“Does Father not dote on me anymore? Su Yingxue was eating well, but I have to eat this!”
Looking at the plain porridge and side dishes, Su Yurou became even angrier.
However, something suddenly flashed across her mind and she curled her lips evilly. “That’s right. My good sister doesn’t need to eat plain porridge and side dishes now. Wouldn’t it be good if I went to eat some of hers?”
She asked Yuan Ruo to fetch some food from the kitchen and brought it to Su Yingxue’s courtyard.
She wanted to torture her with breakfast, but when she reached the door, she realized that the courtyard door was closed and it was quiet inside.
She instructed Yuan Ruo to knock on the door. Old Madam Zhang came to open the door and looked at her warily, saying that the young lady had not gotten up yet.
Su Yurou observed from the side and asked around in the Marquis’s Manor. She came to a conclusion: Su Yingxue did not return to the residence last night!
Yuan Ruo heard the news and quickly smiled and said, “Miss, she did not return for the night. She must be doing something shameful outside! Let’s hurry and inform the Marquis! This time, the Marquis will definitely punish her severely!”
Su Yurou was overwhelmed with joy and hurried toward Su Dingheng’s courtyard.
However, before she could step in, her face immediately turned cold. “No, only Father’s punishment is not enough!”
