Chapter 151 Beating Up the King of Chu

The more Xiao Churen thought about it, the more he realized that Su Liluo was trying to stop him from marrying Su Wanshi at the palace banquet. Wasn't that just jealousy?

He recalled what Su Wanshi had told him before, that Su Liluo actually had feelings for him and resented him for being nice to Su Wanshi, which was why she was targeting them in every way.

Otherwise, since he had no grudge against Su Liluo in this life, why did she always target him and ruin his plans?

Now that the Crown Prince has discovered his private army, it's hard to say whether Su Liluo was involved in instigating or helping him.

Originally, the Crown Prince was supposed to be crippled, despised by his father, and should have died tragically in his own Crown Prince's residence. But it was because he married Su Liluo that she cured him.

That's why things have turned out this way!

If it weren't for Su Liluo, the Crown Prince would still be that useless cripple!

Thinking of this, Xiao Churen felt a strong sense of resentment, mixed with a trace of regret.

Why didn't I show any interest in Su Liluo from the beginning?

If I had married her, wouldn't I be the one who's now thriving in the court?

Thinking this, Xiao Churen unconsciously stood up and started walking towards Su Liluo.

Su Liluo had just come up the stairs and was about to turn around to find the shopkeeper when a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her view.

She looked up and saw Xiao Churen, who reeked of alcohol.

He was dressed in a wine-red brocade robe, his cheeks were slightly flushed, and his dark hair was tied up high, with a couple of loose strands falling down to cover his face.

This disarray did not make him look disheveled; on the contrary, it added to his alluring and handsome appearance.

"Su... Su Liluo, I know you did all this to... attract my attention, and now... you've succeeded!"

Xiao Churen let out a hiccup and said drunkenly.

"......"

Su Liluo stared at Xiao Churen, who was standing unsteadily, with a puzzled look on her face, her eyes wide and watery.

Is this King of Chu out of his mind?

What is he trying to do now?

Su Lilu could only roll her eyes, not intending to pay him any attention, and turned to walk past him and leave.

But to her surprise, Xiao Churen reached out and stopped her in her tracks.

"Su Liluo, you...you stopped me from marrying Su Wan...Shi at the banquet because you...like me, right?"

"......."

Su Liluo: Is this person really that narcissistic?

"King of Chu, please refrain from such nonsense and tarnish the reputation of my Crown Princess. Please have some self-respect!"

Before Su Lilu could speak, her maid Ranmei stood in front of her, pouting, to protect her, and said to the King of Chu.

The King of Chu is really bold; can he just say such things so casually?

If people heard this, wouldn't her reputation as the Crown Princess be ruined?

Fortunately, there was no one around, otherwise it would have been terrible.

"I'm not talking nonsense. Otherwise, why would you stop me from being with Wanshi? Why would you target me because of Wanshi? You're just jealous, aren't you?"

Xiao Churen said excitedly again.

Ever since Su Liluo started targeting Su Wanshi, he has become increasingly unlucky, which clearly shows that Su Liluo's love for him has turned into hatred.

Originally, he should have disliked Su Liluo, but after so many times, he gradually realized that Su Liluo was actually much more capable than Su Wanshi.

Although she is not as outstanding as Wan Shi, she is prettier than Wan Shi!

Moreover, she is intelligent and wise, and has helped the Crown Prince solve his predicaments time and time again. If such a woman were to stay by my side, she would be an asset!

What's worse, he always felt a sense of resentment towards her for some reason, as if this woman should have belonged to him. Seeing her help others made him feel particularly uncomfortable!

Jealous? Envious?

Su Liluo almost laughed until she cried.

Xiao Churen actually thought that he was opposing Su Wanshi because of jealousy and envy.

Seeing Xiao Churen's dejected and foolish appearance, he finally couldn't help but say a few words.

"I thought the King of Chu was just blind, but it turns out he's lost his mind too. Are you more handsome than the Crown Prince? Or are you better at fighting? Or are you of higher status? Otherwise, am I out of my mind to be jealous of you?"

"I---"

Xiao Churen was stumped by the question, and felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his heart.

He suddenly thought of Xiao Ye's appearance, abilities, and the noble status of the Crown Prince, and realized that he was indeed no match for him in any aspect.

But he won't admit it.

So, his chest heaved, holding his breath, and he stubbornly said, "No matter how you deny it, I believe you're only targeting me because you can't have me! Otherwise, there's no reason to explain all your prejudices against me!"

"I think you've really lost your mind!"

Seeing that she couldn't explain things to Xiao Churen, Su Liluo could only make a sarcastic remark before forcefully pushing his hand away and preparing to leave.

However, Xiao Churen was drunk, and after his hand was pushed away, he chased after her and stopped her.

"Su Liluo, I'm interested in you now. If you agree to help me, I'll—ah!"

Xiao Churen shamelessly tried to win over Su Liluo, but before he could finish speaking, he was punched hard in the face by Su Liluo.

He covered his face and took a few steps back, but he was still unwilling to give up.

"The angrier you get, the more it means what I'm saying is true. You don't actually like the Crown Prince at all; you are—ah!"
