Guide to dealing with a tsundere villain

Chapter 6

He smiled, stood up and gave a bow, saying slowly, "Chuyuan did not know that the Crown Prince was passing by and failed to give way in time, deserving punishment." He then glanced at Su Hanhan and continued, "Miss Su's reprimand is justified. Chuyuan will definitely not make the same mistake again next time. Please have the Crown Prince go around my brother this time."

The young prince was momentarily surprised and asked, "Is your surname Chu?"

Chu Yuan said, "Yes."

With a smiling face, the expression seemed quite respectful.

Chu Chang took a quick look at the ragged clothes worn by the person in front of him, and after a moment of contemplation, he seemed to realize that this must be a prince who had been banished to the cold palace.

A person who has no power or influence, not even as good as a servant, still dares to call himself his elder brother.

Chu Chang's mouth twitched, deepening the image of the landlord's tyrannical son. He asked disdainfully and disgustingly, "Which cold palace do you live in? Are you following some fallen lady?"

Chu Yuan's face still had a gentle smile, and he made another bow. His slender hands were elegantly intertwined in a seemingly effortless posture, but his knuckles were slightly pale. "My mother is a beautiful woman living in the area near the Yuyan Palace."

Chu Chang snorted coldly, just as expected.

The ranking of the concubines in the Great Chu Palace is divided into eight levels, with the beauties being at the lowest level. There are several cold palaces, and the one near the Yuyan Palace is the most remote and harsh place. Many of the concubines there are mostly those with guilty charges. Besides suffering in the cold palace, they usually face additional punishments.

He chuckled and said, "Lou Meiren? The Lou Fei who was once the favorite in the harem?"

Chuyuan noticed the expression of the chubby boy darken slightly, but the smile still remained on his lips as he said, "Yes."

Chu Chang sneered and said, "Ha, after so many years in the cold palace, you, this sickly person, still haven't died?"

Chu Yuan lowered his gaze, the corner of his lips trembling slightly as he said, "A worthless life, perhaps it can still endure a little longer."

Chu Chang saw him looking like he wouldn't respond to insults, feeling even more disdainful in his heart, and said, "Do you know how your mother offended my mother?"

Chuyuan said, "I do not know about the past."

Chu Chang chuckled and said, "Do you know what 'a mother's debt is paid by her son' means?"

Chu Yuan heard this, his eyes flickering, a smile still lingering at the corner of his mouth, saying, "Of course, I understand this."

"The mistakes made by my mother in the past, I now apologize to the Crown Prince and the Empress on her behalf." With that, he performed another bow.

But the young prince clearly wanted to continue causing trouble. He kicked his right leg forward, lifting the apricot-colored hem, spreading his legs, and placing his right foot on a nearby stone. He looked up, pointed his nostrils at Chu Yuan, and said, "Today, first pay some interest. Crawl under me, knock your head against me three times and call me grandpa, and I will let you go for now."

Liang Feng and Guan are the same: ... Wow!

Su Ranran: ...

Little landlord, don't act recklessly. This is a major villain. You might have offended him just by receiving a lunch box from him!

Then, the lackey Su Ran Ran said, "Your Highness, this absolutely cannot be allowed. Although he is lowly, he is indeed a true prince, of the same generation as you. If he were to call you grandfather, then the hierarchy between you and the emperor would become unclear."

Chu Chang glanced at Su Ranran's big eyes, touched his slightly thick lips, and thought it seemed like he was riding on his own father's head. So, he changed his tone and said, "Then just kneel and kowtow under my crotch, no need to call me grandpa!"

Su Ranran: ...

"Your Highness, I think it is still inappropriate. Although he is lowly, he is also a prince, your... brother. Treating him like this, if it gets out, it will damage your reputation."

Chu Chang let out a puzzled snort and said, "I say, Su Ranran, you're usually more arrogant and domineering than me. Why are you being so hesitant now? I am a prince, my mother is the queen. Why should I be afraid of disciplining a forgotten little brat in the cold palace? Who would spread it? Who dares to spread it?" After speaking, he pointed at his lackeys, "You? You? You, you, you?"

The people who were pointed at naturally dared not, and shook their heads repeatedly.

He lifted up the hem again and shouted at Chu Yuan, "Behave yourself and come over here to settle this, otherwise your mother's matter won't be resolved so easily!"

The two young eunuchs beside quickly ran up in small steps upon hearing the words, it seemed that if Chu Yuan did not agree, they would forcefully push him through.

Chu Yuan still bowed respectfully with his head down, showing no expression. All people could see were his arched eyebrows and high, handsome nose bridge. Only the joints of his hand, used for bowing, were slightly pale, and his figure was as slender as a pine branch swaying in the wind.

Then, he slowly put down his hand, raised his face, his eyes calm and serene, like the beauty of spring and autumn, like a clear spring in the mountains. His deep eyes curved slightly, a smile once again appeared on his face, "In that case, why not let Chu Yuan do it?"

He actually squatted down, with both hands on the ground, the veins on the back of his hands bulging as if he was exerting all his strength to support himself.

Su Ranran: ......!!!

Indeed, every villain is not born a villain. How many times must one's dignity be trampled upon before they become the villain they are?

Suddenly, there was another plot in the book, where the antagonist was later chosen to be a hostage in a neighboring country, where he gradually developed a power that would eventually support his bid for power.

But seeking profit in a foreign land, for a weak and sickly individual with no capital, how easy is that?

So the book subtly mentioned that he relied on his good looks to attach himself to those in power.

Thinking about it this way, the current humiliation under his crotch is nothing to him.

The humiliation he is suffering today has become fuel to accelerate his darkening. When the flames are high enough, he will turn back and devour all those who have bullied him, seeking revenge, including herself.

If someone insults him, he insults back; if someone kills him, he kills back.

Sun Ranran feels that the antagonist storyline is really discordant.

At this moment, a clear voice ahead rang out: "What are you all doing?"

Su Ranran looked up and saw another young man in a jade crown walking towards her on the stone steps ahead. He was dressed in a dark green robe with mysterious patterns, adorned with a jade pendant at his waist, and wore black leather boots. With sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, his skin was bronze-like, appearing to be around fifteen or sixteen years old. He was tall and straight, exuding a heroic aura, much more mature and steady compared to the group of eleven or twelve-year-old little demon kings.

That is the male lead of this book, also the person that the original body has always loved, Chu Yu.

He took a big stride forward, slightly nodded, and bowed slightly to Chu Chang, who was much shorter and only eight years old, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness."

Chu Chang looked up, with a solemn expression, and lightly responded.

Chu Yu turned around and saw Chu Yuan on the ground, asking, "What's going on?"

Su Ranran seized the opportunity and quickly interjected, "Seventeenth Prince, there's nothing going on, we're just here to have fun!"

Chu Yu asked Chu Yuan, "Who is he?"

Su Ranran said, "Him? We don't know him either. We were just passing by, and he fell down. We were just about to help him up!" After speaking, she quietly tugged at Chu Chang's sleeve, asking him to cooperate with her.

Chu Chang looked strangely at Su Hanhan's abnormal behavior, and soon understood. Su Hanhan's feelings for Chu Yu are well known to everyone.

However, in his view, Chu Yu was just a person constrained by moral principles and etiquette. In Chu Chang's opinion, he was very rigid and uncommunicative, with no sense of humor. But after all, he was older than him, his elder brother, and held real power. The maternal clan was not to be trifled with, so even though he was usually arrogant and domineering, he did not dare to be disrespectful to him.

If he finds out that he is bullying Chu Yuan, who is also a prince, and reports it to the emperor, he will be in big trouble.

Thinking of this, the young prince had no choice but to continue following Su Hanhan's words, saying, "Hanhan is right. Little table, little stool, what are you all still standing there for? Why don't you help him up? The ground is so cold."

The two young eunuchs finally reacted and quickly helped Chu Yuan up.

Chu Yu saw that the person's face was covered in swollen handprints, and their body was quite thin. She asked, "Who are you? And why is your face like this?"

Chu Yuan had long since put away his smile, his eyes now indifferent. He glanced at the man in front of him, then at Su Ranran behind him. Just when Su Ranran thought he was about to betray her, he grinned and calmly said, "Thank you, Brother Shi Qi, for your concern. I am Chu Yuan, son of the Lou Beauty, and the scars on my face are the routine punishment I receive on behalf of my mother."

Sun Ranran was shocked. It was already miserable enough for the antagonist mother and son to be banished to the cold palace, but now his mother also had to endure a monthly punishment of being slapped in the face?

Chu Yu instructed the eunuch by his side to take out a bottle of top-quality golden wound medicine and hand it to him, "This is top-grade golden wound medicine, very effective for treating bruises and injuries, using it on the face won't leave any scars."

Chu Yuan bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Brother Thirteen." After taking the medicine bottle handed to him by his attendant, he tightly clenched it in his hand before nodding slightly to bid farewell to the crowd.

When he left, he picked up the trampled grass by the red wall, then walked forward hesitantly, his steps floating, his figure fading into the distance.

Su Ranran looked at the slender figure in front of her, and suddenly felt a bit like a lonely dog...

Suddenly, Su Ranran realized that this was the imperial palace, not a place she could come and go as she pleased. At that moment, she should follow him.

Since we want to win him over, we must first know his whereabouts in order to send warmth and care, and visit him frequently.

At this moment, Chu Yu was also bidding farewell to the young prince.

Su Ranran thought that her original self already admired Chu Yu, so she used this as an excuse to follow Chu Yu and leave. The Little Prince and others probably wouldn't suspect anything.

Su Ranran saw Chu Yu turning around the corner, so she quickly bid farewell to the young prince, saying, "Your Highness, I suddenly remembered that I have something to discuss with the Seventeenth Prince. I won't be playing with you all today. I'll go find him first!" With that, she ran off.

The little prince left behind was jumping in anger. "Su Ranran, come back here, why are you running away?"

He couldn't stand seeing Su Hanhan chasing after Chu Yu with that wooden expression, it really annoyed him.

Sun Ranran didn't want to offend this small landlord. Based on the memories of the original body, she knew that this small landlord not only liked fighting, but also loved to fight crickets, a complete little demon king.

Choosing such a mischievous little demon as the crown prince, Great Chu is indeed doomed.

So Su Ranran turned around and smiled, saying, "Your Highness, how about I make it up to you by giving you a cricket even more impressive than the Grand General?"

Chu Chang's expression changed from anger to disbelief, pouting his lips and saying, "I don't believe it."

Su Ranran blinked her eyes, signaling him to wait, and then followed Chu Yu's direction without looking back.

After turning the corner, she looked towards the two diverging paths separated by a red wall. On the left, she could see the Seventeenth Prince who had not yet walked far, while on the right, she could only see a small black dot disappearing into the distance.

That little black dot is a little weirdo.

She ran towards the right, sprinting all the way, chasing that little black dot as it zigzagged through several streets.

Just as I was about to catch up, I encountered a fork in the road, and then the weirdo turned into it and disappeared.

Su Ran also turned into the side path, and then found that there were several more side paths behind this one. She ran to each one to take a look, panting heavily from exhaustion, but still did not find the figure of the little weirdo.

Su Ranran: How strange, where did this child run off to?
