Chapter 4: Make some swill
"Let me go away?" Chu Yu chuckled and repeated Ye Jinshu's words. His affectionate peach blossom eyes fell on Ye Jinshu, trying to spy on something, but found nothing.

Although Ye Jinshu would lose his temper in the past when the prince chose Ye Ruoyan, his anger was directed at Ye Ruoyan at that time. But this time, Chu Yu always felt that something was different.

When Ye Jinshu said this, the hidden emotions in his voice were clearly directed at him.

Could it be that Ye Jinshu already knew about the last time he helped Ye Ruoyan?

"Jinshu, are you angry?" Chu Yu tested cautiously.

Ye Jinshu has always been unable to keep secrets, so if she really knew about that matter, it would be normal for her to be angry. But thinking that what if Ye Jinshu was angry about other things, Chu Yu did not rush to tell her everything, but just frantically tested her on the edge of danger.

"I am on your side. You know I am just acting according to circumstances when facing other people."

Chu Yu approached Ye Jinshu as he spoke, but Ye Jinshu suddenly placed his hoe between the two of them, preventing Chu Yu from moving any further.

She raised her eyes, and those eyes that were filled with unfulfilled desire and jealousy in Chu Yu's memory were now filled with only... weeping?

What was she sad about? Was she so sad because I helped Ye Ruoyan?

But it's also true that with Ye Jinshu's personality, apart from her father and mother, she is the only one who supports her in the palace.

Chu Yu felt a little more satisfied in his heart. It was not a bad feeling to have someone who could only rely on him. This was also the reason why other princes more or less preferred Ye Ruoyan, the concubine of the Ye family, but Chu Yu insisted on standing on Ye Jinshu's side.

He didn't want to win Ye Jinshu's affection, he just wanted to be one of the people standing on the side of the minority, so that he could be held tightly as a lifeline.

Chu Yu felt satisfied and was about to give Ye Jinshu a little sweet treat as he had done before, when he saw Ye Jinshu suddenly pointing at the ground under his feet with a sad look on his face.

Yes, a face full of sorrow!
"You stepped on them to death." Ye Jinshu spoke every word with tears in his eyes.

Chu Yu's heart tightened and he slowly looked down.

He thought he might have stepped on Ye Jinshu's pet, but when he lowered his head, there were only some weeds at his feet, not even a dead insect.

"There's clearly nothing." Chu Yu argued, but Ye Jinshu ignored her and squatted down and patted Chu Yu's calf, which was still stepping on the weeds.

It was the first time that Chu Yu was beaten by Ye Jinshu. He discovered that although Ye Jinshu looked like a girl who didn't do any physical work, she was actually quite strong.

It hurts.

Before Chu Yu had time to continue feeling the pain in his legs, he saw Ye Jinshu had already started crying.

"Xiaoyi, Xiaoer, Xiaosan, Xiaosi, you died so tragically." Ye Jinshu cried, but he was pretending.

Not only was she pretending, she also took advantage of Chu Yu's weakness when he retracted his legs and suddenly attacked, forcing Chu Yu to kneel in front of her weeds.

When Chu Yu knelt down, he didn't even realize what was happening.

I just felt a momentary weakness in my legs, and in the blink of an eye, I was kneeling in front of the weeds.

Ye Jinshu had already stood up at this time, standing beside Chu Yu with a hoe in his hand, his eyes slightly lowered, a complex emotion flashed across his eyes, but it was only for that moment, and Ye Jinshu returned to normal.

It was true that she and Chu Yu had been friends, but it seemed that she only regarded Chu Yu as a friend unilaterally. Her third life was the closest she had ever been to successful revenge, but that time, she was betrayed by Chu Yu.

What did Chu Yu say at that time?

"I've always stood by your side just because I found it interesting to see you relying on me, but now compared to Ruoyan, you're still too boring."

uninteresting.

Ye Jinshu now also finds Chu Yu boring. She even finds revenge boring and just wants to play with her sisters.

"These grasses in front of you are my treasures that I have carefully cared for a month. Now you stepped on them to death. How are you going to compensate me?" Ye Jinshu casually recalled the past and really didn't have any special feelings. So he decided to make some trouble for Chu Yu.

Chu Yu would cause trouble for her in the future anyway, so she might as well strike first. She could then comfort herself that it was her own fault.

Chu Yu was not sure what was wrong with Ye Jinshu, but after hearing these words, he was once again sure that Ye Jinshu was just having a tantrum with him, and a smile appeared at the corner of his eyes.

He slowly stood up, patted the dirt on his robe, looked at Ye Jinshu with amusement, and spoke with a hint of doting: "Okay, how do you want me to compensate you?"

Xiao Cui, who had been silent nearby, suddenly had a bad feeling when she heard this.

Based on her understanding of the princess's temperament over this period of time, it was inevitable that something unexpected would happen after the Second Prince said this.

Sure enough, when Ye Jinshu heard this, it was as if his Ren and Du meridians were opened. His eyes suddenly brightened and he immediately replied: "You will compensate me for anything you can get?"

When Chu Yu saw Ye Jinshu's expression, he knew that Ye Jinshu was trying to harm Jiujiu again. In the past, every time she wanted to plot against the prince or Ye Ruoyan, she always had this expression.

And you can also get pleasure from watching the play.

"Yes, I will do whatever I can to help you, as an apology to you."

Ye Jinshu showed an expression of disbelief. She looked at Chu Yu stubbornly and said, "Words are not enough. Swear."

This was the first time Ye Jinshu showed distrust of him, which made Chu Yu more interested. He took advantage of the excitement and said, "I swear."

Ye Jinshu was still not satisfied and continued, "Swear that if you can't do it, you will drink swill."

Chu Yu was about to say something, but suddenly realized what Ye Jinshu was saying and couldn't repeat it anymore. He lowered his voice and discussed with Ye Jinshu: "Can we change it?"

"No, I know you say this on purpose because you like to be clean."

Chu Yu, who had already prepared an excuse to shirk responsibility, was slightly stunned.

He didn't know which words in this sentence touched his heart, but he inexplicably softened his heart at that moment and just wanted to do what Ye Jinshu wanted.

"I will get whatever I can for the princess, otherwise I will drink swill."

And after hearing that Chu Yu had finally fallen into his trap, Ye Jinshu ruthlessly revealed his true colors.

"In that case, please help me get some swill, Second Prince."

Chu Yu, who had been listening attentively to the big plan, suddenly heard this request and was unable to react for a moment.

"what?"

"Get some swill."

"What do you want swill for?"

Not a gadget that could please the prince, nor a plan that could embarrass Ye Ruoyan, nor any other beautiful or fun things, but slop?

Ye Jinshu looked at the second prince as if he were a fool again and said, "Farming."
