Chapter 35 Could it be that he has taken a liking to Su Liluo?

"Waaah, Father, Mother, Second Brother, you have to save me!"

In the prison, Su Wanshi, dressed in prison clothes, was locked in a dark and damp room.

She gripped the prison door with both hands, weeping incessantly.

Father Su looked worried and sighed with disappointment, "Wanshi, you're so foolish, so foolish! How could you do such a thing?"

The framing of Su Liluo and Li Taoyuan was done in secret by Jiang Qinshu and Su Wanshi; Su's father and the others had no idea.

Because Su Wanshi had deceived Li Taoyuan the whole time, Jiang Qinshu escaped unscathed.

Su Xuanlang frowned and looked at Su Wanshi with disappointment.

"Wanshi, your second brother never expected you would actually do something like this!"

Su Wanshi felt afraid, sensing that Su Xuanlang had become more distant from her because of this incident.

So she quickly cried and explained, "Second brother, I'm sorry, Wan Shi made a big mistake because I was confused for a moment, but I was just trying to avenge you! I was really angry to see that the Crown Princess didn't respect you and treated you so badly!"

I thought the Crown Princess was only so arrogant because of the Crown Prince's favor, and that's why I wanted to curb her arrogance. But I never expected Cousin Li to do this! It really was Cousin Li who framed me!

"Really? Why would he frame you?"

Su Xuanlang was somewhat skeptical.

Su Wanshi cried again, "He...she was bribed by the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess has always resented me, resented that I made her marry the Crown Prince in my place, so she wanted to ruin me!"

"this......"

Su Xuanlang hesitated.

Indeed, he had always felt that Su Liluo held a grudge against them because of the substitute marriage.

"Second brother, Cousin Li is a lecherous man by nature. It's perfectly normal for him to be lustful when he sees the Crown Princess's beauty. There's no need for me to encourage him!"

Moreover, everyone knows that His Highness the Crown Prince is crippled and out of favor, which is why Cousin Li is so bold!

"Waaah... If I was wrong, it was that I was wrong to gamble everything on avenging my father and brothers, thus giving Li Biao an opportunity!"

As she spoke, Su Wanshi covered her face and burst into tears again.

This crying softened Su Xuanlang's heart. In the end, Wan Shi's sister was only foolish because she cared about her family.

Moreover, the culprit is Li Taoyuan, not Su Wanshi.

Jiang Qinshu chimed in, "Xuanlang, you're usually the smartest, so tell me how we're going to save Wanshi this time!"

Su Xuanlang pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "This case was judged by the Prefect of the Capital. If we want to save Wanshi, we can only turn to the Prince of Chu!"

"King Chu, yes, I need to see King Chu, Second Brother. Could you please let me see King Chu? I need to explain things to him!"

Su Wanshi suddenly looked up.

She must explain to the King of Chu as soon as possible, lest he misunderstand her as a bad woman.

Last time, the King of Chu almost sympathized with Su Liluo. What if he was deceived by Su Liluo again if he didn't explain properly this time?

*

After Su Xuanlang and the others were released from prison, they went to see the King of Chu with Su's father the next day.

They explained everything that happened at the Su residence as Li Taoyuan taking advantage of Su Liluo's lust, and then Su Liluo taking the opportunity to frame Su Wanshi.

Xiao Churen was furious upon hearing this, "I never imagined that the Crown Princess would be such a vicious person!"

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess only harbors some resentment; she is not like that—"

Su Xuanlang wanted to explain a few things to Su Liluo.

Ultimately, it was because they forced her first that she felt guilty.

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Churen interrupted him decisively: "Does harboring resentment justify such evil deeds? Wanshi is her cousin, yet she shows no brotherly affection!"

Now, Xiao Churen loathes Su Liluo to the extreme.

"Don't worry, I will definitely get Wanshi out of here."

*

Soon after, Xiao Churen went to the prison to visit Su Wanshi.

When he saw Su Wanshi locked in a dark cell, dressed in thin clothes, sitting shivering in a corner.

I was heartbroken.

"Wanshi, it's me who's here."

Xiao Churen gently called out towards the cell inside the prison.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Su Wanshi immediately burst into tears.

"King Chu, is it really you? Wan Shi thought you didn't want me anymore. I'm so scared here!"

Xiao Churen quickly ordered his men to open the prison door and went inside to drape a thick cotton-padded coat over Su Wanshi.

Then he reprimanded the jailer again.

"Don't worry, I'm here to save you."

Xiao Churen embraced Su Wanshi and comforted her.

"Your Highness, I was truly framed by the Crown Princess. She was still jealous of my substitute marriage to the Crown Prince and also envious that I could win Your Highness's favor, so she did this!"

"This time, it was all thanks to the Crown Prince's help behind the scenes. She brought many experts to the Su residence, but she never expected the Crown Prince to be so indulgent towards her!"

"What did you say? She brought a lot of experts? Are they all the Crown Prince's men?"

Suddenly, Xiao Churen seemed to grasp something important, and his eyes became deep.

Su Wanshi, unaware of what was happening, continued, "Yes, if those experts hadn't appeared, the Crown Princess might have been humiliated by that Cousin Li. Cousin Li brought a lot of people with him, but in the end, the Crown Princess falsely accused him of being an assassin!"

"Are you sure that was a skilled fighter brought by the Crown Princess? Or not given to her by your Su family?"

Xiao Churen's gaze was suspicious.

If these people weren't given to us by the Su family, then they must be from the Crown Prince.

But the crown prince had clearly lost power; his military power had been taken back by his father, and his secret guards had also been withdrawn.

If there are still experts, then it must be a force that even the Emperor doesn't know about.
