Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

"You really are bold." Xiao Fan saw that she had no intention to let go, and stared into her eyes as she spoke.

"No no, I just don't like to see people being suppressed by power." Ruan Xiaonuan replied with a smile, as if she was joking.

However, she released Chu He this time, and warned him, "Once you enter the Wang Jiang Restaurant, you will be a guest. If you cause trouble, I believe that the princess is not an unreasonable person."

These words made Xiao Fan completely unable to continue her attack. Originally, everyone thought that she was unruly and willful, and if Chu He were to make a move, it would also add on the crime of not understanding things and allowing a crying servant to commit murder. She could only ask Chu He to retreat, and said with an unkind tone, "They openly discussed this princess, so it is impossible to let them off like this. Since Miss Nuan will plead for them, I believe that she already has a solution that would be perfect for both of them. "

Ruan Xiaonuan scratched the back of his head, and said rather embarrassedly: "You overestimate me, I don't have any method to achieve the best of both worlds."

Not only her, even the Little Zhao couldn't help but feel embarrassed for her. Ruan Xiaonuan was unaware of the gazes from around him, and asked tentatively, "You are the princess of a nation, how can you be like us common folk and fuss about it, how about you be magnanimous and forgive them?"

Chu Ying never said a word, she only looked at them silently. Seeing that Xiao Fan's expression had loosened, she intentionally added fuel to the fire, "How can we just let it go like that? If it were to spread to the current emperor, what would happen if the people from the Dongqing Kingdom knew that their princess has been wronged here?"

Hearing Chu Ying's words, Xiao Fan also felt that it was reasonable, so she immediately replied, "If today's matter doesn't satisfy this princess, I will immediately cultivate and give this to royal father to uphold justice for me."

"The essence of the matter." Ruan Xiaonuan said in a soft voice.

, who was closer to her heard her words, and asked with his eyebrows raised, "What did you say?"

"I didn't say anything. Princess, you've misheard me. I am only satisfied with how I resolve this matter." Ruan Xiaonuan had a smile on her face the entire time, making the two of them unable to find fault with him.

"Miss Ruan, I was the one who broke your tongue. If you feel that you must teach me a lesson before deciding to vent your anger, then I will definitely not escape." The scholar who had collided with Xiao Fan earlier stood in the middle of them and said.

Ruan Xiaonuan had been thinking about how to settle this matter. It would be best if everyone got along peacefully, so she couldn't possibly agree to Xiao Fan fighting in Wang Jiang Restaurant. However, there was nothing she could do. She could only say, "Let me think about it."

After a while, Xiao Fan said impatiently, "Have you decided? This princess does not have that much time to wait for all of you. " Without waiting for Ruan Xiaonuan's answer, she suddenly said, "I do have a good idea."

"I'd like to hear more about it." Ruan Xiaonuan asked without knowing.

"Since you don't want your guest to be slapped, why don't you take his place?" Xiao Fan said obediently.

Ruan Xiaonuan frowned as she looked at the two of them. Her face was filled with a pleased smile, as she understood that the two of them had come to embarrass her. Their original intention was not this scholar, but themselves.

"Alright." She softly spat out a single word.

Everyone looked at her in astonishment. They didn't understand why she would offend a princess for a stranger.

However, no one saw the crafty smile on Ruan Xiaonuan's lips. She had said one thing earlier, but whether Chu He could hit her was another matter. She stood there without moving and said, "Let's do it."

Seeing that she agreed so straightforwardly, Xiao Fan and Chu Ying felt that there was something deceptive about it. However, since they had already said that, there was no reason for them to take it back, she indicated for Chu He to take action.

Although Ruan Xiaonuan's eyes were closed, she could feel the distance between her and Chu He. She originally wanted to take a step back the moment she saw him, but she was caught off guard and slammed her hand on the table. However, after waiting for a long time, she did not hear any sound from her surroundings. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Hua Qingse standing there with an angry expression and said, "Junior Sister, why aren't you staying in the Duke Palace?

Chu Ying was still a little afraid of this senior brother who had accompanied her since childhood, and she said guiltily, "The princess wants to take a walk outside, I will accompany her."

Hua Qingse could immediately tell that she was lying, but she brought Xiao Fan along with her, so he had no other choice. She could only ask, "What happened just now?" Why did you do it? "

Ruan Xiaonuan was not in a hurry to explain, because she knew that someone would definitely sue first. Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Chu Ying went back on the right and wrong and said it once again, all of the reasoning was on them. Hua Qingse obviously did not believe her, and looked towards Xiao Fan and said, "Princess, Junior Sister has lived in the mountain since childhood, and is ignorant of the human world. If you have offended me in any way, I hope that you do not mind."

He could tell that Chu Ying and this princess had a good relationship, but he hoped that the two of them did not cross paths. Hence, when he spoke to Xiao Fan, he felt a sense of distance between them.

"Don't worry, my lord. If not for Miss Chu, I wouldn't even know that there are so many interesting places in the capital." It was not that Xiao Fan couldn't tell how Hua Qingse treated her, but he still wanted to use Chu Ying to sit in the position of the Princess Yu, so she could only pretend that he didn't know.

Ruan Xiaonuan smiled as he saw them speak in an official's tone, her eyes rolling around. She quickly ordered the Little Zhao to bring the best wine and vegetables from the Wang Jiang Restaurant and said to them, "Princess, let him pass on the matter just now. We haven't eaten yet, let's have a taste of these."

Hua Qingse looked at her with a smile, knowing what she was thinking. She silently said "money grubber". Ruan Xiaonuan pretended not to see it as she enthusiastically greeted Xiao Fan and Chu Ying. They were now the boss and the customer, so other things could be left to the side for now.

Seeing that there's one more Hua Qingse here, I naturally did not dare to continue attacking. He could only feign it and said, "On behalf of Lord Hua and the Prince, I won't hold this matter against you."

Ruan Xiaonuan was not surprised at all. She was afraid that Hua Qingse would feel awkward accompanying the two girls.

As for what their relationship was, everyone was well aware of it. However, there was no need for them to show everyone that they were jealous of each other. Although she tried her best to hide it, when she looked at Ruan Xiaonuan, her eyes did not want to show it all.

After the meal, Xiao Fan brought Chu Ying away using the excuse that he wanted to visit somewhere else. Hence, only Hua Qingse and Ruan Xiaonuan were left drinking together.

"Why did you coincidentally appear here today?" Ruan Xiaonuan could not help but ask.

"I came over to have a meal with you, but I didn't expect to see this scene. What just happened? Why did you meet the princess? " He asked curiously.

was lying when she said that, but she did not get the chance to ask that question. However, Ruan Xiaonuan did not have any intentions of telling him. She indifferently waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, I just had a small argument with the customer, that's all."

During the time Ruan Xiaonuan was outside the palace, she and Hua Qingse had interacted quite a bit. Although the two of them could not be considered good friends that could talk about everything, there were many things that they would talk about to each other.

He was good at reading other people's thoughts, and he could tell at a glance that she did not want to say it.

Xiao Fan and Chu Ying had originally been majestically leaving the room, but they never expected that they would actually return with dirt all over their faces and heads. Naturally, they were not in the mood to continue going to other places. Instead, they directly returned to the prince's mansion.

"Greetings, Prince." Yu Er suddenly said.

Chu Ying hurriedly bowed, while Xiao Fan stood to the side. Gu Junxiu looked at them coldly, and said with a strong sense of warning: "If there is nothing else of importance, it would be best if you all did not leave the Duke Palace."

After saying this, he turned around and left. After he left, Xiao Fan spoke with dissatisfaction, "Does he want to imprison us? Why can Ruan Xiaonuan show her face outside, we can't go out. "

In contrast to her dissatisfaction, Chu Ying seemed to be too calm. Her tone was faint as she said, "It's not that he doesn't want us to leave, but that she wants us to not go to the Wang Jiang Restaurant. is warning us not to provoke Ruan Xiaonuan. "

She had interacted with Gu Junxiu for a long time, and she knew clearly that he wasn't a bored person, who would specifically say those words for them. It was just that knowing the truth made him feel even worse, and made him hate Ruan Xiaonuan even more.

In Wang Jiang Restaurant, Gu Junxiu had just bid farewell to Hua Qingse when he arrived. She was in a good mood as she asked, "Has Your Highness had lunch yet?"

He was surprised by the smile on her face and thought that she had finally thought it through. He couldn't help but ask, "When are you going back to the prince's mansion with me?"

"Little Zhao, ask the kitchen to prepare a few dishes." Ruan Xiaonuan deliberately avoided the question. After she finished speaking, she turned to Gu Junxiu and said, "I just finished eating. If you still have anything else, come look for me in the backyard." After saying that, he quickly left in front of him.

Not long after, Gu Junxiu appeared in front of her, still asking the same question. Ruan Xiaonuan looked at him rather helplessly and said, "Aren't you living well here as well? Why do you insist on letting me return to the Duke Palaces?"

If he went back to the manor, there would definitely be a lot of inconvenience and a lot of gossip. Right now, she only wanted to concentrate on running the restaurant and didn't want to be distracted by other things.

"You're my woman. You can't live outside forever." Gu Junxiu said in a domineering tone.

Ruan Xiaonuan didn't have as many thoughts as she did, and she asked simply and clearly, "What happens to the restaurant after I return to the Duke's Mansion? Furthermore, how are you going to explain the last time you beat me up? "

"You can freely enter and leave the manor without anyone stopping you." Gu Junxiu replied right away without thinking.

However, the latter question was one that they could avoid before. She did not ask, and Gu Junxiu did not take the initiative to explain.

After a long while, Ruan Xiaonuan still did not get his answer. She was the first to speak. "You didn't completely believe me. If I were to return to the Prince's Mansion, this matter would still continue to occur again."

Gu Junxiu's lips moved a little, but in the end, he still did not say a single word. He was unable to explain himself. At that time, when he saw that Gu Qingcheng and her were so close to each other, that time, he only had one thought in his mind: to separate them, he had no thoughts of asking Ruan Xiaonuan.

"See, I'm not wrong. You can go yourself." Ruan Xiaonuan self-deprecatingly said.

"Ruan Ruan, go back to the Royal Mansion. Nothing like this will happen the next time." Gu Junxiu said in an unexpected manner.

She looked at him in surprise, as if she didn't believe he would say such a thing. His heart had already relaxed, but the words that came out of her mouth were still unwilling to compromise. She coldly said, "It's just a few words, anyone can say it. Don't tell me that I'll let you slap me again when the time comes."

"No, I will do as I say." Gu Junxiu said sincerely. He just barely needed to raise his palm and swear to the heavens.

"Alright, I'll go back with you." Ruan Xiaonuan secretly thought, as if he wished to see what kind of shocked expression Yue Yang would have, and when he was surprised, he also opened his mouth wide and opened his eyes wide.

"Are you speaking the truth?" Gu Junxiu said with slight uncertainty. He was someone who had experienced a lot of battles, but at this moment, he actually had the uneasiness of a kid.

Ruan Xiaonuan looked at his expression, full of interest.

In the evening, an inconspicuous carriage stopped in front of the Duke Palace as Gu Junxiu personally helped Ruan Xiaonuan down. Both Zi Juan and Mo Yan were exceptionally excited as well. Finally, they did not have to squeeze around in the restaurant anymore. When they saw familiar people, they continuously greeted them.

When Chen Hai saw Ruan Xiaonuan, he was pleasantly surprised, and said impatiently: "Miss, you're finally back, there's finally someone who can make the decision for me."

"What, you want to enslave me the moment you return?" Ruan Xiaonuan joked.

"I dare not, dare not. It's just that after you left for a few months, many things can only be decided by yourself. I feel a bit uneasy." Chen said as he walked. He didn't realize in the slightest that Gu Junxiu had been pushed all the way to the back by them, and that his face had already turned completely black.

"Cough, cough …" He faked a few coughs and finally pulled their minds back to reality. Chen Hai finally realized the problem and said, "I will come again another day to ask the Lady." With that, he slipped away like he was smeared with oil.

Ruan Xiaonuan looked at his retreating back while laughing. She could not help but complain to Gu Junxiu, "Don't be so serious in front of them, they'll be scared the moment they see you."

Gu Junxiu looked at her helplessly. He had been like this since he was young, how could he change things in a short amount of time? When he was in front of Ruan Xiaonuan, he had already tried his best not to show a cold face.

However, she was unwilling to let him go and could only say, "If all the lords in the mansion act the same and laugh all the time, then I'm afraid that not long in the future, no one will think of you as a master anymore."
