Chapter 27: Were we tricked back then?

Because of the Su family's affairs, no one was in the mood to continue having fun, and the banquet ended quickly.

Today, Jiang Qinshu's reputation for mistreating his own daughter and being cruel and ungrateful has been thoroughly spread.

Jiang Qinshu felt like she was going to vomit, and she really hated herself for not strangling Su Liluo when she was born.

Su Wanshi kept her head down, not daring to let others notice her.

Only Su Xuanlang felt a slight sense of guilt towards Su Liluo because of her words.

It seems they really did mistreat her in the past!

Just as the Su family was about to leave, Xiao Churen walked towards them.

He turned directly to the Su family and asked, "Is everything you just said true?"

He never imagined that Su Liluo's past was so pitiful!

Although he had a bad impression of Su Liluo, he was still stung when he heard her accusing Jiang Qinshu.

I feel sorry for her childhood. No wonder she has become like this now. But you can't blame her entirely.

Hearing Xiao Churen's question, Su Wanshi was startled.

Is the King of Chu going to despise them and sympathize with Su Liluo, just like everyone else?

No, we can't do that!

She panicked and quickly put on a wronged expression.

With tears in her eyes, she looked up at Xiao Churen and said aggrievedly, "Of course it's not true. The Crown Princess is my second aunt's own daughter. It's not that she's not showing her the poison on her face, but that the doctor really said it can't be cured."

She still resents us for making her marry the Crown Prince, and she looks down on him because he's... Your Highness, you've also dealt with the Crown Princess; does her personality seem like that of someone who's been bullied?

this......

After Su Wanshi's words, Xiao Churen recalled his previous interactions with Su Liluo, in which she was always quick-witted and sharp-tongued, able to refute others.

I have no shame.

He certainly doesn't seem like someone who's been bullied.

Especially at this moment, Su Chenfeng, who was standing to the side, also chimed in angrily.

"Your Highness, don't be fooled by the Crown Princess's act. She's disobedient at home, doesn't like to study, and even blames her mother for not hiring a tutor for her!"

Jiang Qinshu also spoke up aggrievedly, "Your Highness, I am truly wronged. The Crown Princess is my own daughter. How could I bear to mistreat her? Because Wanshi lost both her parents at a young age, I was afraid she would suffer, so I took extra care of her. Who knew the Crown Princess would get jealous and angry, and now she is making up stories about me like this, which really breaks my heart!"

As she spoke, she pounded her chest, looking as if she were heartbroken.

When Xiao Churen heard that Su Wanshi had no parents, his heart unconsciously sided with her, and he felt that she was actually more pitiful because she had no parents.

The group walked out of the plum garden together, and along the way, Xiao Churen heard Su Chenfeng say a lot of bad things about Su Liluo.

Therefore, all the sympathy I had for Su Liluo had long since vanished.

As they left the plum garden and were about to board their carriages to part ways, they encountered Su Liluo and the Crown Prince.

Xiao Churen felt that Su Wanshi had been wronged today and that it was necessary to warn Su Liluo.

So he walked towards Su Liluo and Xiao Ye.

"Princess."

Xiao Churen called out to her in a cold voice.

Su Liluo turned around curiously, and when she saw it was him, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in surprise.

"What urgent matter does Your Highness the King of Chu have to discuss?"

Xiao Churen sneered, "No matter what, you are still the daughter raised by Madam Su. Without Madam Su, you wouldn't exist."

Your sharp tongue and attacks on Mother and Sister will only make people dislike you more. I hope you won't bully them anymore. Otherwise...

He paused, his gaze seemingly threatening.

But Su Liluo was not afraid, and asked with a playful smile, "Otherwise what?"

Xiao Churen flicked his long sleeves, "Otherwise, I will let everyone know just how despicable you really are!"

"Oh!"

I thought he was going to kill her!

Su Lilu chuckled lightly, then gave Xiao Churen a mocking look.

He added a meaningful reminder: "King Chu is so blind and ignorant; he should find a doctor to properly treat his eyes. He repays kindness with enmity; be careful of retribution!"

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Xiao Churen was about to get angry, but Su Liluo and Xiao Ye turned around and left.

Only a heartless silhouette remains.

After his anger subsided, Xiao Churen still had some doubts.

What do you mean by repaying kindness with enmity? Why did she say that?

*

The Su residence.

As soon as Su Wanshi returned to her room and closed the door, she started throwing things around the room.

"how so!"

Today should have been the day when Su Liluo was disgraced and ridiculed, while I, relying on my talent, became a talented woman in the social circle of noble ladies!

How could it have turned out like this!

Su Wanshi's face was filled with jealousy. Recalling Su Liluo's stunning beauty at the banquet, her face twisted with envy.

Just then, the bronze mirror was right in front of her.

Su Wanshi looked at herself in the mirror, her face contorted in pain, her makeup smudged from crying.

Looking at it this way, I realize I'm really quite ordinary-looking.

"Fuyue, do you think Su Liluo is really beautiful now?"

Su Wanshi suddenly asked.

Fu Yue trembled and said timidly, "She is indeed prettier than before, but... but she still can't compare to Miss."

You're lying!

Su Wanshi swept all the rouge and powder from the dressing table onto the floor with a flick of her sleeve.

Fu Yue's voice had already betrayed her.

She knew that Su Liluo was definitely more beautiful than herself now!

Today she saw it; all the young masters and noblemen on the field were captivated by her beauty and were praising her!
