"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Seeing Xiao Churen's appearance, Su Liluo had a vague sense of unease.

"Your Highness may not know that His Highness brought a woman back with him this time, right? I heard that he has settled her in the capital. If Your Highness wants to know, I can take you to see her."

woman!

Hearing Xiao Churen's words, Su Liluo was suspicious and held a skeptical attitude.

She remembered that nothing like this had happened in her previous life. Was this just Xiao Churen's fabrication, or...?

However, looking at Xiao Churen in front of her, whose eyes held a hint of sarcasm in his smile, Su Liluo hesitated again.

He seemed to have no reason to fabricate such a thing; if it were false, he could easily find out by checking.

Could it be that Xiao Ye is really hiding something from me?

"No need. Is there anything else?"

After thinking it over, Su Liluo calmly rejected him.

She felt that even if it were true, she shouldn't be the one going with Xiao Churen to see it.

She will go back to the mansion to ask Xiao Ye.

"You don't mind that the Crown Prince keeps women outside the marriage?"

Xiao Churen was somewhat surprised to see Su Liluo calmly reject him.

Shouldn't a normal woman be furious when she hears that her husband is having an affair?

Why is she still so calm?

Could it be because she doesn't care about the Crown Prince?

Thinking about it from this perspective, Xiao Churen suddenly felt a sense of pleasure.

But just as the corners of his mouth turned up, he heard Su Liluo say, "Of course I believe in my husband. The King of Chu's divisive words, which he learned from women, are useless."

Xiao Churen's face was contorted with anger, veins bulging. "I did not sow discord; I am stating the facts!"

"Farewell!"

Su Lilu smiled faintly, said no more to the furious Xiao Churen, and got up to leave.

Seeing Su Liluo leave so gracefully, Xiao Churen became even more anxious.

He couldn't help but shout at Su Liluo's retreating figure, "If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself. That woman lives at No. 16 Feihua Lane in the west of the city. Ye Dong often goes to see her!"

Su Liluo paused slightly, feeling a touch of emotion.

Xiao Churen even gave her the exact address, which made her feel uneasy, whether it was true or a deliberate trap.

However, she still didn't stop to acknowledge him.

Seeing Su Liluo's reaction, Xiao Churen finally managed a smile.

He thought she would believe him sooner or later.

Once the seed of doubt is planted, it will take root and sprout.

After talking with Xiao Churen, Su Liluo lost her desire to go shopping and went straight back to the Crown Prince's residence with her maid.

Ranmei followed closely beside Su Liluo, carefully watching his expression.

Unable to contain her heartache, she comforted her, "Princess Consort, please don't take what the Prince of Chu said to heart. No matter who they are, as members of the royal family, they will all have many women in their harem in the future."

This servant believes that if His Highness the Crown Prince wishes to take a concubine, he will certainly inform you of it proactively. His Highness is not the type to do things secretly.

"Do you also believe that what the King of Chu said is true?"

Su Liluo asked, somewhat annoyed.

She knew that Ranmei was subtly advising her not to be jealous, as the Crown Prince would eventually marry another woman into the household.

Although what she said was true, she still felt uneasy.

After being reborn, all she wanted to do was escape the Su family mansion, bring it down, and repay the prince who had been willing to risk his life for her in her previous life.

She hadn't considered that after she started living with the Crown Prince, his harem would have even more women.

Because she didn't live long enough in her previous life, and the prince's leg never healed, none of this had a chance to happen.

But now that the Crown Prince's leg has healed, and he is handsome and dashing, which noble lady wouldn't want to marry him as a concubine?

Besides, he's the crown prince, how could he possibly have only one woman in his harem all the time?

Thinking about this, she felt somewhat depressed.

"Princess Consort...King Chu, he only said that because he had ill intentions."

Ranmei stammered, flustered and unsure how to comfort her.

Su Lilu waved her hand impatiently, interrupting her, "We're at the manor now. I want to go see the Crown Prince."

Cloud Pavilion.

Xiao Ye had just returned from the army. Ever since Su Liluo's analysis last time, he had been sending people to monitor who was transporting large sums of silver and valuables out of the capital.

The strict checks these past few days have left him somewhat exhausted.

At the same time, he has been investigating the matter of how he was framed and lost military secrets after the defeat.

We had made some progress these past few days, but when it came to the crucial moment, all the evidence disappeared.

When the servants announced that the Crown Princess had come to see him, a glimmer of light appeared in Xiao Ye's weary eyes.

He immediately stood up and went to greet them at the door.

"You're back from shopping so soon? Did you buy anything you liked today?"

Xiao Ye stepped forward and asked gently.

When he returned to the manor, he asked the servants where the Crown Princess had gone, so he knew she had gone shopping.

I just didn't expect to come back so soon.

Seeing Xiao Ye's gentleness towards her, Su Liluo felt her frustration ease slightly.

Regardless, this man was always good to her.

After Su Liluo went inside, she asked Xiao Ye to dismiss the servants, saying that she had something to tell him.

Xiao Ye was confused and assumed that Su Liluo was discussing something important with him again, without noticing the unusual emotional state of Su Liluo.

"Your Highness..."

When Su Liluo saw Xiao Ye's clear gaze, she suddenly found it difficult to utter the sour words she had been holding back.

"Why are you calling me Crown Prince?"

Xiao Ye frowned slightly upon hearing this form of address.

His crown princess always called him "husband," so why is she suddenly calling him "crown prince"?

Su Liluo pursed her lips before changing her words: "Husband, I have some things on my mind that I want to ask you today."

"Yes, feel free to ask me anything."

Xiao Ye remained mild-mannered.

After hesitating for a while, Su Liluo finally mustered up her courage and said, "Does my husband want to take a concubine? If so, I... I won't stop you."

"What did you say?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Ye looked at her in surprise.

His eyes suddenly widened, filled with confusion.

Why did you suddenly say that?

Su Liluo looked at him with some grievance, "If my husband meets a woman he likes, he can tell me. You are the Crown Prince, and you will certainly not only have me as your Crown Princess in the future."

"Concubines, concubines, and high-ranking ladies will come gradually. Even if I feel a little jealous at first, I will accept reality. I only hope that if my future husband truly meets someone he is truly attracted to, he will set me free."

She was grateful for his kindness in her previous life, and she was also attracted to him in this life. She could also understand the fact that as a member of the royal family, he could not possibly have only one woman in the future.

However, she thought about it repeatedly in her heart.

She was reborn into this world, yet she was ultimately unable to share a husband with another.

If Xiao Ye really falls in love with someone else, she is willing to let him be.
