Chapter 30 He despised this daughter from the bottom of his heart.

"Grandmother, you are so clever! If you tell the Crown Princess that you are ill and need her to come back to take care of you, she will definitely come back!"

Su Wanshi couldn't help but praise.

Madam Su was particularly smug and sneered, "I am an elder. So what if she is the Crown Princess? In the end, she still has to obediently come back to fulfill her filial duties to me!"

"When she gets back, I'll give her a good scolding. Grandma will make sure you get all the revenge she's taken from you these past few days!"

Su Xuanlang frowned and stepped forward to advise, "Grandmother, there's no need for a lesson. Let's call her back and make peace with her properly."

Since the plum blossom banquet incident, Su Xuanlang has been reflecting on the events of the past few years and realized that they have indeed treated Su Liluo somewhat unfairly.

Now that his grandmother is so old, he still lies and pretends to be sick. As a scholar, he already felt that this was a shameful thing.

Hearing that they were going to teach Su Lilu a lesson, he naturally said a few words in her defense.

But Su Chenfeng was different from him; he immediately refuted him.

"Second brother, it's not that we don't want to make peace with her, but do you see her even listening to us? She has repeatedly made things difficult for and humiliated Mother and Sister Wanshi. It's all her fault!"

Like Su Chenfeng, Old Madam Su also cursed Su Xuanlang.

"If you can't stand it, then leave. This disobedient girl deserves a scolding from her grandmother!"

Madam Su was not from a prominent family, so she did not have the demeanor of an elder from a wealthy household in her speech and actions.

Jiang Qinshu and the others all agreed with Madam Su's approach.

Soon, news spread throughout the Su residence that the old lady of the Su family was ill.

Su Liluo, while in the East Palace, naturally received a letter from the Su family, asking her to return to care for the ailing old lady, saying that the old lady was concerned about her.

"They actually went around telling everyone that the old lady missed me?"

Su Liluo tossed the letter aside and couldn't help but sneer.

"Your Highness, when you were in the Su family, the old lady didn't care about you at all. Why would she care about you? The fact that they're spreading these rumors outside is definitely an attempt to force you to go back and make things difficult for you."

Ranmei, the maid beside her, said somewhat angrily.

Because the Su family not only sent a letter to Su Liluo, but also spread the news that the old lady of the Su family was ill and missed the Crown Princess during her illness.

"You guessed right, but I have no choice but to go back because of what they've done."

"Princess..."

Ranmei was anxious, fearing that Su Liluo would be plotted against if she returned to the Su residence.

Su Liluo smiled and comforted Ranmei, "But who will be unlucky after we return to the Su residence is anyone's guess!"

Cloud Pavilion.

The study door was half-open, and the faint light from the courtyard could only sneak in through the cracks in the window.

Inside the dimly lit room, the purple-robed man stood upright like a pine tree, his cold and stern face revealing a hint of displeasure.

"You mean the Su family sent the Crown Princess back to attend to her ailing husband?"

"Yes, the Su family has spread rumors that Old Madam Su is seriously ill and misses the Crown Princess dearly. It seems that the Crown Princess has already agreed and is making preparations to return."

Ye Han stood aside and honestly reported.

Xiao Ye frowned. "I'm afraid this is a trap."

It was a trap that we had no choice but to face!

The Su family put pressure on the Crown Princess through public opinion; if she didn't go, she would definitely be accused of being unfilial.

In severe cases, it can even damage his reputation.

The people of the Su family really never learn their lesson!

"Ye Han, you will return with the Crown Princess and protect her secretly. If anything happens, inform me immediately!"

Xiao Ye thought about it for a moment, but still couldn't rest easy and gave the order.

Ye Han looked up in shock: "Master, you want me to go and protect the Crown Princess? What about you?"

He's the Crown Prince's personal bodyguard!

I've never been separated from the Crown Prince in all my life!

He was also the most capable in every aspect among all the Crown Prince's secret guards, and it was no exaggeration to say that he was a trusted confidant!

"I will have Ye Dong come over to temporarily replace you. You just need to go and protect the Crown Princess."

"But......"

"Ye Han, can't you understand what I'm saying?"

Ye Han wanted to say something more, but Xiao Ye stopped him sternly.

Helpless, he could only shut up.

But his heart was in turmoil. He never expected that his master would like the Crown Princess so much!

*

After packing her things, Su Liluo sent someone to inform Xiao Ye, and then prepared to return to the Su residence with her entourage.

But to his surprise, Ye Han suddenly appeared beside him when he went out.

He bowed respectfully and said, "Princess Consort, the Crown Prince asked me to go with you, but I am a secret guard, so please call me when you need me and I will appear immediately."

Su Liluo was somewhat surprised, yet also touched.

The reason she didn't call Xiao Ye this time was because she was currently treating Xiao Ye's leg and he was taking the prescription she had given him.

If she returned to the Su residence, she feared someone might sabotage her.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ye would have Ye Han protect her.

Her husband is truly good to her!

So she nodded and said to Ye Han, "Thank you for your hard work."

Ye Han was somewhat taken aback, not expecting the Crown Princess to thank him.

This instantly dispelled his initial reluctance, and he instead felt slightly guilty about his thoughts.

"Did you manage to get the message out?"

Inside Madam Su's room, she sat on the bed, repeatedly asking her grandchildren questions.

"Grandmother, the news spread yesterday, and she should be arriving in the next couple of days."

Su Xuanlang gently advised.

He really didn't want to help deceive people, but he was not only forced into a corner by Madam Su, but also scolded by Su's father.
