Chapter 21 is about how she stole her sister's marriage.

After Xiao Ye calmed down, Su Lilu pretended to ask the maid to bring over a bowl of water.

She quietly poured out the water in the bowl and replaced it with spring water from her own space.

In no time, Xiao Ye had fully recovered his composure.

When he saw Su Liluo and Ye Han appear together in front of him, he immediately knew that Ye Han had been exposed.

Ye Han immediately knelt down to beg for forgiveness.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess insisted on rushing in just now, and this servant had no choice but to stop her. But it was also because of the Crown Princess that you recovered so quickly."

Xiao Ye didn't blame Ye Han, but felt that there were many things stuck in his back.

He looked at Su Liluo curiously, "What did you just do? How did you control my poison attack?"

Su Liluo: "I'll give you acupuncture. Now you finally believe what I said last time, right? I really can cure your poison."

Ye Han chimed in, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess is truly remarkable. She only used a few acupuncture needles, and your poisoning was brought under control so quickly!"

Xiao Ye no longer had any doubts.

Instead, he asked, "How long will it take for you to completely cure my poison?"

"Well... about seven times!"

Su Lilu thought about what the artifact spirit had said last time.

But as soon as she spoke, she heard the disgruntled voice of the artifact spirit in her head.

"Hmph, normally seven times would be enough, but young master, your acupuncture technique just now wasn't good enough. The pressure wasn't deep enough. At your level, you should have done at least twenty times!"

"......"

"Has it taken that long?"

Was her needlework really that bad?

Su Liluo had always thought she was a fast learner, but she never expected that the spirit of the artifact would think she was so bad.

"Well, it's not easy for you to have learned even a little bit in such a short time. Not everyone can afford to be a miracle doctor. If you work a little harder, you might be able to learn even faster later."

The spirit spoke again.

In fact, Su Liluo's talent is indeed quite good; it would be impossible for an average person to learn the Heavenly Needle Technique in such a short time.

"That's wonderful! Your Highness, there's hope for you!"

After hearing Su Liluo's words, Ye Han was stunned for a moment before overjoyed.

Their men were still searching outside for a miracle doctor to cure the prince's poison, but little did they know that the person who could cure the prince's poison was right beside them.

Xiao Ye was equally astonished. Could this Crown Princess, whom he had married by chance, really cure his poison?

However, I might as well trust her this once.

Then, a smile appeared on his pale face.

"Then I will have to trouble the Crown Princess. I will be eternally grateful when the poison is cured."

Su Lilu waved her hand and seized the opportunity to say, "No need for 'later,' I need you to repay me now!"

Xiao Ye: "......"

He looked at Su Liluo with a puzzled expression.

"Isn't there a plum blossom viewing banquet here? I know you never like attending these kinds of banquets, but this time I need you to come with me."

Su Liluo took out the invitation to the plum blossom appreciation banquet and showed it to Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye glanced at it.

Indeed, he disliked banquets with large crowds.

He especially found the young ladies and gentlemen who attended to be very hypocritical and disdained to associate with them.

"My husband, if you don't come with me this time, I'll be laughed at again!"

Seeing that Xiao Ye's expression wasn't good after seeing the post, Su Liluo assumed he wanted to refuse, so she gently coaxed him.

Xiao Ye felt a tingling sensation throughout his body.

For some reason, he always felt an irresistible urge to refuse her whenever he heard her act coquettish.

Fine, I'll say yes!

She had just helped me.

So, almost inexplicably, he agreed once again.

*

On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, it snowed lightly, and everything was covered in ice and white.

Laughter and cheerful conversation filled the plum garden of the Princess's residence. Maids and servants came and went, carrying various foods and entertaining the many ladies, gentlemen, and young ladies who had come to the plum garden.

Su Liluo wore a bright red fur cloak, seemingly vying with the proud plum blossoms blooming on the branches for beauty.

Although she wore a veil so her entire face couldn't be seen, the exposed part of her forehead revealed snow-white skin.

With willow-leaf eyebrows and phoenix eyes, her dark pupils seemed to radiate starlight.

Her figure was graceful and ethereal; one glance was enough to captivate anyone.

Xiao Ye, in a wheelchair beside him, was wearing a black crane-patterned cloak, his dark hair tied up high, and his face was as handsome and dignified as if sculpted by the heavens.

Standing next to Su Liluo, they were an incredibly well-matched pair.

Their appearance quickly attracted a lot of attention.

"Oh, it's the Crown Prince! Is that the newlywed Crown Princess who's too shy to show her face?"

Suddenly, a pretty woman wearing a light green jacket and a white cloak spoke with a smile.

However, the smile on her face didn't reach her eyes, and the second half of her sentence revealed a hint of sarcasm.

"What Crown Princess? Don't you all know that she shamelessly stole my sister's marriage and married into the new family? She shouldn't have been the original Crown Princess!"

Another woman in a pink coat in the crowd spoke up.

As soon as he said this, many people around him cast strange glances at Su Liluo.

They all started discussing it, each offering their own opinion.

"No way, such a thing actually happened? You're saying she's not really the Crown Princess, but could she be the legitimate daughter of that ugly second wife of the Su family?"

"Who else could it be but her? Didn't you see Miss Su, who was originally engaged to His Highness the Crown Prince, standing with us right now?"

"It's really because Miss Su is kind-hearted. She knew that her younger sister was ugly and couldn't get married, so she didn't pursue the matter of her taking her sister's place in marriage."
