Chapter 131 Finding a Way to Win Back the King of Chu's Heart

When the enemy moves, I move; when the enemy is still, I remain still; I will not alert the enemy.

Su Liluo also found Xiao Ye's statement to be very reasonable.

In the current situation, whoever gets anxious will lose.

They discussed for a while longer about the murder of Xiao Ye back then. There was some evidence found so far, but not much, so Xiao Ye did not take any action, but continued to search for enough evidence.

Similarly, the investigation into the King of Chu's private army is still ongoing.

Perhaps because they had suffered too many failures recently, there had been no movement from Xiao Churen's side, and Xiao Ye had not been able to catch anyone transporting large sums of silver and valuables out of the city.

After hearing the news of Xiao Churen's arranged marriage from Su Liluo, Su Wanshi immediately went back to Jiang Qinshu to cry and complain.

Jiang Qinshu felt a chill in her heart after hearing about this.

"If the Emperor bestows this marriage, it's probably irreversible. Prince Chu hasn't come looking for you during this time, Wanshi, you can't just sit here and wait to die!"

"But he betrayed me first. He slept with another woman, and when I got angry, he never came to see me!"

When Su Wanshi heard Jiang Qinshu's suggestion that she take the initiative to find Xiao Churen, she was still indignant when she thought of the scene where she caught him cheating last time.

If it were before, Xiao Churen would definitely have come to coax him.

But several days have passed, and he hasn't made any move this time. Instead, he received news that he had been betrothed.

Su Wanshi felt more and more wronged the more she thought about it.

"At a time like this, why are you still throwing a tantrum? Our Su family has fallen so low that we are not worthy of the Prince of Chu in terms of status. If you don't find a way to win the Prince of Chu's heart, then we are truly doomed! Do you want to be overshadowed by Su Liluo for the rest of your life?"

Jiang Qinshu said with a sense of disappointment.

Since the Su family was punished by the emperor, it has never regained its former glory.

Although her husband's official position was not high, the Su family was wealthy, and Su Liluo's grandmother had left a rich fortune to the family.

Their family fortune used to be comparable to that of a first-rank minister in the imperial court, but they lost it all later.

Now, they can only support their family on Su Lianwu's salary, and their standard of living has seriously declined.

Even Su Chenfeng is still in prison. They visit him from time to time and try to pull strings with the jailers, all in the hopes of making Su Chenfeng's life a little easier.

As for Su Xuanlang, he was studying hard at the academy, hoping that he could become the top scholar in the imperial examination and obtain an official position in the future.

"She just got lucky for a while. I won't let that bitch Su Liluo suppress me for the rest of my life!"

When Su Liluo was mentioned, Su Wanshi's eyes welled up with boundless hatred.

If it weren't for Su Liluo, would she have become like this today?

Wasn't all the money in the Su family swindled away by Su Liluo?

She was determined to climb up the social ladder and one day trample Su Liluo under her feet, making her pay the price for her current actions.

After figuring it out, Su Wanshi wiped away her tears.

"I understand. I will go to see the King of Chu tomorrow. I cannot let anyone else take the position of Queen Consort of Chu."

The next day.

Su Wanshi dressed up at home, wearing a light yellow embroidered lotus-patterned dress with a fitted waist, and tied her hair in a single long braid, with a simple and elegant jade hairpin in her hair.

She appears elegant and refined, with a delicate and fragile air about her.

She knew this was Xiao Churen's favorite way of dressing; he had been captivated by her gentle and graceful demeanor in the past.

She only brought one maid with her, and upon arriving at the Chu Prince's residence, she immediately informed the gatekeeper of her purpose.

After the incident, the servant was punished by the King of Chu and dared not let Su Wanshi in this time.

So the servant said politely, "Miss Su, please wait a moment while I go in and inform them."

Su Wanshi was dissatisfied, but she still didn't say anything.

In the past, she could just walk right into the Chu King's mansion, but now it seems that the Chu King has really changed his mind about her.

It seems she needs to find a way to win back the King of Chu's heart, otherwise she'll truly have nothing left.

The servant hurried inside to look for the King of Chu, but before he even reached the King's courtyard, he encountered Qi Yinyin walking towards him.

Wearing a crimson, form-fitting gauze dress, with a charming figure and delicate features, she was an alluring and enchanting beauty at first glance.

Seeing the servant's hurried appearance, she reached out to stop him, "Why are you in such a hurry? Has something happened?"

Recently, Qi Yinyin has been favored by the Prince of Chu in the palace, and has served him in bed for several nights in a row. As a result, the servants in the palace have tacitly accepted the fact that the Prince of Chu favors her.

The servant dared not lie to Qi Yinyin's questions, not wanting to offend this woman.

He then honestly replied, "Miss Su is requesting an audience with His Highness the Prince of Chu outside the door. This servant must go and report to the Prince of Chu now."

"Miss Su? Is she the one who caused trouble at the manor last time?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yinyin suddenly remembered the woman who had caught them in adultery.

"Yes, Miss Yinyin."

The servant nodded, and then prepared to continue his search for the King of Chu.

But Qi Yinyin suddenly stopped him again, took out a bracelet from her hand and handed it to the servant.

"Take me to see this Miss Su. The prince is very tired and is resting."

The servant's eyes lit up when he saw the bracelet, but he still hesitated, "This..."

Qi Yinyin continued, "You have all seen how much the Prince has favored me lately, and he has never taken the initiative to go to see this Miss Su. I'm sure you understand that."

Yes, the prince also instructed that Miss Su should not be allowed to enter or leave the palace at will without his permission.
