Chapter 31 This lowly servant girl plotted to harm me.

"Didn't I already become an adopted daughter of the Su family's main branch? Is Lord Su planning to commit another act of insubordination?"

Su Lilu sneered and looked at her father.

Su's father glanced around Su Liluo and, seeing that the Crown Prince was not there, suddenly felt relieved.

As long as the Crown Prince doesn't back her up, she's still the one in charge in the Su family.

So he retorted, "Even if you're adopted out, I'm still your father!"

"Is that so? So, Lord Su, you're not going to kneel and pay your respects to me?"

Su Liluo raised an eyebrow, then ordered sternly, "Men, make him kneel down!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two servants immediately stepped forward and took Su's father away.

His knees thudded as he knelt on the ground.

"You wicked girl, what are you doing...?"

Jiang Qinshu was about to get angry, but Su Wanshi stopped her.

"Second Aunt, the Crown Princess is right. Now that she has a high status, we cannot be disrespectful to her."

snort!

She now understood that she couldn't confront Su Lilu head-on. She would wait until her plan succeeded and Su Lilu was finished before retaliating.

So she knelt down and bowed with Jiang Qinshu.

Seeing this, Su Xuanlang and his brother had no choice but to kneel down and pay their respects as well.

The old lady Su on the bed coughed heavily a few times in anger.

Su Liluo was finally satisfied, and looked at Old Madam Su with a slight smile on her lips.

She chuckled lightly, "Oh, is the old lady quite ill? Well... perhaps we should start preparing for her funeral? If the Su family doesn't have enough funds, I can lend you some..."

Before Su Lilu could finish speaking, Old Madam Su angrily pointed at her and scolded, "You wretched girl, you wretched girl, you're cursing me!"

"Oh! The old lady speaks with a strong voice, she doesn't seem to be dying or sick at all. It seems I misunderstood!"

Su Liluo exclaimed again, her smile practically implying that Old Madam Su was faking illness.

Seeing this, Su Wanshi quickly tried to smooth things over, "No, Grandmother is just a little upset. She's been quite ill these past few days."

As he spoke, he winked at Old Madam Su.

Then, Madam Su pretended to be extremely ill and coughed a few times.

Unexpectedly, Su Liluo covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief in disgust.

"With such a severe cough, could it be a serious illness? Is it contagious?"

"you......"

When Madam Su saw the disgust in Su Liluo's eyes, it was as if she had seen something dirty.

She wasn't sick to begin with, but now she's almost made sick from anger.

Jiang Qinshu, who was standing to the side, glanced at the maid beside her.

A short while later, the maid brought up a bowl of something that looked like medicine.

Jiang Qinshu walked to Su Liluo's side and sighed softly, "Your Highness, the old lady has been missing you very much lately! Please feed her this bowl of medicine to comfort her longing."

Su Liluo glanced at the maid and saw that the medicine was still hot and steaming.

Should she be allowed to feed the old lady her medicine?

To comfort those who miss you?

How could Jiang Qinshu have the nerve to tell such a low-level lie?

"Okay, here, bring it over."

Su Liluo gave a light reply and then walked towards Old Madam Su.

The maid handed in the bowl of medicine, and Su Liluo said with disdain, "Standing so far away, how can I reach it? Can't you come over?"

The maid gritted her teeth and had no choice but to take a few steps forward.

Su Liluo sat down beside Old Madam Su's bed, just as the maid handed her the medicine bowl.

Suddenly, she quickly reached out her finger and pushed the medicine bowl onto the bed.

"Ouch! It's burning me! It's burning me!"

A heart-wrenching scream rang out.

But it wasn't Su Liluo's, it was the old lady Su on the bed.

Su Liluo immediately pointed at the maid and cursed, "You wretched servant! How dare you prepare such hot medicine? Are you trying to scald me to death?!"

The maid was so frightened that she immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "It wasn't me, it wasn't me, I didn't mean to scald the old lady!"

Jiang Qinshu was furious, cursing the incompetent and stupid girl in her heart.

At the same time, they also hoped to use this to criticize Su Liluo.

"Your Highness, how could you pour that bowl of medicine on the old lady? She is your grandmother!"

Yes, it was Su Lilu who splashed it on!

"Second Aunt, what did you say? It was clearly your lowly maid who deliberately prepared such hot medicine to try and harm me. Luckily, I was quick-witted, otherwise I would have been the one who got hurt!"

Su Liluo feigned surprise.

Jiang Qinshu said, "That's not how it is. I clearly saw that the Crown Princess deliberately splashed it on the Old Madam."

She's determined to throw this mud at her today!

"If it weren't so hot, would I have gotten burned and accidentally spilled it on the old lady?"

Su Liluo retorted confidently.

Jiang Qinshu started arguing with her.

However, Madam Su's face was swollen and red from the burn, and Su's father and Su Xuanlang were anxiously taking care of her.

Seeing Su Liluo and the others arguing so fiercely, Su Wanshi felt like she was going to throw up.

Jiang Qinshu's purpose in tricking Su Liluo back today was clearly to poison her, but she took it upon herself to try and vent her anger with these petty tricks.

Now not only have we failed to vent our anger, but we've also ended up arguing like this.

After cursing in her heart, Su Wanshi had no choice but to go up and try to mediate the fight.

"Alright, Second Aunt, it's all that lowly maid's fault. Don't argue with the Crown Princess! Crown Princess, are you alright?"

As she spoke, Su Wanshi asked Su Liluo with concern.

Her kind attitude naturally aroused Su Liluo's suspicion.

It seems this is just the beginning!

"I am clever, and naturally I will not be harmed by the tricks of these lowly maids!"

She uttered the words "lowly servant" heavily, seemingly cursing the maid, but her gaze was actually fixed on Jiang Qinshu.

If Su Wanshi hadn't held her back, Jiang Qinshu would have almost started a fight with her.

On the other side, after the medicinal soup was wiped clean, Madam Su, who was not sick before, was now truly ill.

Her entire face was burned, and her mouth was crooked from the burn.

At this moment, her eyes were crooked and her mouth was slanted, and she looked at Su Liluo with resentment.

He wanted to curse her, but couldn't get anything out.

Su Liluo barely suppressed her laughter and gave a fake sigh: "Oh dear, it seems I'm too stupid! Some of your lowly maids in this manor also have impure thoughts and are not serving the old lady well!"

"Such delicate work should be done by my second aunt! Serving her mother-in-law is her responsibility as a daughter-in-law!"

"Yes, Your Highness is right. You don't need to do this kind of work. Dinner is already being prepared in the living room. Why don't I go and have something to eat with Your Highness to calm your nerves?"

Su Wanshi echoed her in a gentle and agreeable tone.

She really didn't want Su Liluo to stay here any longer. The way to deal with her was to cut the Gordian knot, not to resort to these trivial matters.

Su Liluo glanced at her, a glint in her eyes.

She chuckled lightly, "Very well, since you're so kind, then I'll gladly accept!"

Su Wanshi was thrilled, but she pretended to be calm.

"You flatter me, Your Highness. It's only right."
