Chapter 83 He ignored Su Wanshi beside him.

"No."

Before Su Lilu could refuse, Xiao Ye's voice suddenly came from behind her.

He was dressed in a black brocade robe, his brows slightly furrowed, and he walked quickly to Su Liluo.

Then, his eyes met Xiao Churen's.

He spoke forcefully: "My Crown Princess is going out with me today. I wonder what business Your Highness has with my Crown Princess? You may speak now."

He had been discussing matters with his subordinates in his study, so he had no idea that the Su family had come to cause trouble.

When he came out of the study to find Su Liluo, he learned that the Su family was causing trouble outside the mansion.

He rushed over and just happened to see Xiao Churen stopping Old Madam Su and then trying to arrange a meeting with his Crown Princess.

"this......"

When Xiao Churen saw Xiao Ye appear, a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes.

He had been having people monitor Su Liluo's movements, hoping to find an opportunity to get close to her. He had finally found such an opportunity to curry favor, but Xiao Ye interrupted him.

With so many people watching, if he were to take the Crown Princess away in front of the Crown Prince, amidst the Crown Prince's objections, it would likely cause controversy.

"Since it's inconvenient today, let's do it another day. I'll take my leave now."

Xiao Churen said awkwardly that he planned to find another opportunity next time.

But Xiao Ye could see right through his thoughts and said coldly, "Your Highness Prince Chu is not yet married, and your sweetheart Miss Su is here. You should not think about going out with my Crown Princess alone in the future."

"Hehe, the Crown Prince is right, I was wrong just now."

Xiao Churen stopped awkwardly, his eyes filled with gloom.

He certainly understood the warning in Xiao Ye's words.

However, the more he acted this way, the more Xiao Churen wanted to get closer to Su Liluo.

Now that they were in public, he had no choice but to agree amicably to save face.

As for other times, he certainly wouldn't give up.

So Xiao Churen didn't linger and turned to leave without even glancing at Su Wanshi, who was watching him expectantly from the side.

Su Wanshi's face flushed red and then turned pale, her heart filled with disbelief.

She had just looked at the King of Chu with such helplessness and pitifulness, so why did he turn a blind eye to her?

Even if it's to curry favor with Su Liluo, there's no need to be so heartless to yourself!

Does this mean that the King of Chu no longer cares about me?

Su Wanshi thought to herself in a twisted way.

Then, she turned back in grief and indignation, and just then saw Xiao Ye showing great care for Su Liluo.

The fire of jealousy in her heart burned even brighter.

But Su Liluo and the others didn't even glance at them before holding hands and returning to the Crown Prince's residence.

A howling cold wind swept in from the northwest, mercilessly lashing Su Wanshi's face, turning her pale face red again.

It looked like he'd been slapped several times.

The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, but faint whispers of their praise for the Crown Princess's filial piety still lingered.

"Wanshi, let's go back."

Su Xuanlang saw Su Wanshi's distorted expression and stepped forward to offer a word of advice.

He had just clearly seen the changes in Su Wanshi's expression; this was the first time he had ever seen such a terrifying and distorted expression on his cousin's face.

This changed his perception of his younger sister.

His cousin is really scary; she's nothing like the gentle and kind person I remembered.

Back at the Su residence, Su Liluo had the imperial physician summoned to examine Old Madam Su. The physician said that her excessive internal heat was affecting her mind, and if she didn't cultivate her character properly, she would become an idiot.

These words infuriated the Su family.

"I'm not sick, I'm not delirious, don't talk nonsense!"

Old Madam Su broke down and started cursing.

The imperial physician was not afraid and put on airs, saying, "I am the imperial physician of the palace. Do you think I would make a mistake? If it weren't for the Crown Princess, would you have such good treatment and be able to have an imperial physician come to treat you?"

This imperial physician has said all the right things; whether you listen or not is up to you. You'll regret it if you're caught off guard! After all, I treat nobles of the imperial palace; you can imagine how skilled I am!

Having said that, the imperial physician also didn't want to stay in the chaotic Su residence any longer.

If the Crown Prince hadn't specifically instructed him, he wouldn't have come to the Su family, the home of a sixth-rank official.

After the imperial physician left arrogantly, Old Madam Su was still crying and cursing Su Liluo, while Su Yu, who was standing to the side, was somewhat stunned.

"Mother, stop making a fuss. This Imperial Physician Quan is one of the top three physicians in the Imperial Hospital. Even if you kill many people, you can't get him to treat you. What he said when he treated you might not be a lie."

After a long pause, Su Yu slowly spoke.

Seeing his mother cursing so wildly, and recalling how she had sometimes called him by the wrong name these past few days, he really suspected that his mother did indeed have the problem that the imperial physician had mentioned.

"What did you say? Then... I'm not really sick, am I? Waaah, what am I going to do!"

When Madam Su heard her son say that, she was also frightened.

She didn't trust the imperial physicians, but she trusted her son!

Su Wanshi felt utterly contemptuous of them as she looked at them.

He was just a royal physician, yet he managed to intimidate both his grandmother and father?

They're so useless!

On the other side, after Su Liluo followed Xiao Ye into the mansion, Xiao Ye learned from her what had happened from yesterday to today.

Upon learning that the Su family had been causing trouble for Su Liluo, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Luo'er, we absolutely cannot let this go. The Su family, these scourges, must be dealt with properly, otherwise they will continue like this!"

"Yes, I know. When my father comes back, I will expose their true colors. Now we have settled the old woman, and we are just waiting for your people to bring my father back."

Su Liluo nodded.

She had considered killing the Su family, but since she was still their daughter in name only, she felt that if they died like this, she would inevitably suffer some consequences.

Only by waiting for her father to return and completely expose their true colors—that she is not their daughter—can she extricate herself unscathed.

Otherwise, in this dynasty that values ​​filial piety, even if the Su family went too far, if I killed them, I would still face criticism.

But Xiao Ye couldn't bear it any longer; he didn't want to see Su Lilu being disgusted by the Su family every time.

He said, "It's fine if we don't kill them. Aren't they the ones who love to ruin your reputation and try to morally blackmail you? Let's use that same tactic on them!"

"Do you have any good ideas?"

Su Liluo couldn't help but look at Xiao Ye curiously, wondering what funny idea he had come up with.

Xiao Ye curled his lips into a wicked smile, "Didn't they cause this commotion because of Su Chenfeng? Well then, I'll 'help them out'!"
