Chapter 247 Are you here to see my mother?

"So what do you want to do here?"

Su Liluo looked at him.

"I've come to visit the Crown Princess. My younger sister was too impetuous just now and offended the Crown Princess. I apologize to the Crown Princess on her behalf."

Gao Junning's tone suddenly became polite, and even Gao Yufei, who was standing next to him, shouted angrily, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Wasn't he trying to avenge himself?

Why did my brother condescend to apologize to her like this?

"Feifei, we are in Daliang now, in front of the Crown Princess. How can you shout like that? Shut up right now, or your brother won't take care of you anymore."

Gao Junning reprimanded Gao Yufei and gave her a warning look, which made Gao Yufei reluctantly shut her mouth.

"Oh, I see."

Su Liluo sighed softly, thinking to herself that this man's attitude changed quickly.

He originally came up wanting to slap himself to avenge his sister, but after realizing that he was surrounded by experts and couldn't defeat them, he immediately changed to a respectful attitude.

They really are flexible and adaptable!

As the saying goes, one shouldn't hit a smiling face, so Su Liluo didn't want to make things difficult for her any further.

Unlike Gao Yufei, Gao Junning was not reckless. He even sent someone to bring a lot of gifts, so Su Liluo could only welcome him into the mansion as a guest.

"So your sister really is the Regent's daughter! It's all my fault for misunderstanding. When she came up, she was so arrogant and unruly that I didn't believe her."

Su Liluo looked at the items that Gao Junning took out, which symbolized their status, and smiled generously.

The subtext of these words is that Gao Yufei is rude and uncouth, lacking the demeanor of a princess or a lady from a prominent family, which is why people don't believe her.

Gao Junning naturally understood the sarcasm in those words, but he was still relieved because at least they acknowledged their identities, so they probably wouldn't kick them out again!

Thinking about the purpose of his visit today, his attitude changed again.

"Your Highness, to be honest, we have something to discuss with you today."

Nonsense, would you come over if there was nothing wrong?

Su Lilu rolled her eyes inwardly.

"I'm sure the Crown Princess knows that my sister has taken a liking to His Highness the Crown Prince. My sister is the Princess of the Northern Desert and my father's only daughter. If His Highness the Crown Prince were to marry my sister as a concubine, it would be beneficial and harmless to him."

Gao Junning went straight to the point.

At this moment, Gao Yufei, who was sitting next to her, also straightened her neck.

"You've come here today hoping I'll persuade His Highness the Crown Prince to marry your sister as a secondary wife?"

Su Liluo looked at Gao Junning and his sister with amusement. She hadn't expected them to be so shameless as to come to her door directly.

"You are the Crown Princess, and you should be planning for the Crown Prince. I know that although the Crown Prince is now the Crown Prince, his position is not secure. He has the ambitious Prince of Chu in front of him and the hypocritical and scheming Prince of Xiao behind him."

If the Crown Prince can marry my sister, he will gain the support of the Northern Desert. Although my father is the Regent, he is actually the King of the Northern Desert, and even the Emperor must respect his opinion.

Moreover, the Northern Desert is wealthy. If the Crown Prince marries my sister, he will also receive a share of her wealth, which would be a divine blessing for His Highness.

Gao Junning analyzed the situation for Su Liluo, sentence by sentence.

He felt that as the Crown Princess, she must hope that her husband could inherit the throne, so that she would have a chance to become Empress.

Moreover, he had investigated before coming here and found that although Xiao Ye's Crown Princess was Su Zhen's daughter, Su Zhen might not necessarily value her.

Su Zhen has never raised this daughter for a single day, and he has married and had children outside the marriage, so he probably has no feelings for this daughter.

If his other daughter were to marry another prince in the future, it's hard to say who Su Zhen would side with.

Looking at Gao Junning and the others' confident demeanor, Su Liluo remained silent for a moment before bursting into laughter.

"Thank you for considering the Crown Prince so much, young master. It's just a pity that my husband has never needed to rely on any woman to consolidate his position. Your plans are likely to fall through."

"Are you really not concerned? The support we can provide to the Crown Prince could make him the Crown Prince with ease. Don't you think about your husband?"

Gao Yufei, who was standing to the side, looked nervous.

She knew that Xiao Ye didn't like her at the moment, so she had to marry into the family first with the help of the Crown Princess, and then develop feelings for Xiao Ye over time.

But if you can't even get in, how can feelings develop over time?

"Why should I consider issues that my husband himself doesn't even consider? If that's what you're saying, then please leave."

Su Liluo said sarcastically.

"You are not worthy to be his crown princess at all. You don't even consider his feelings. If I were you, I would do everything I could to help him secure his position!"

When Gao Yufei saw that Su Liluo was about to drive them away, she stood up angrily and pointed at Su Liluo's nose, cursing her.

"Someone, show them out!"

Su Liluo was too lazy to say anything more to them and coldly gave the order.

"Your Highness, you truly have backbone! If you ever regret it, you can come find us. My word always stands. Feifei, let's go!"

Seeing that Su Liluo seemed to be getting angry, and remembering that they had just been outmatched, Gao Junning stood up and pulled Gao Yufei to leave.

He knew that if they continued to confront each other today, they would not gain anything; this Crown Princess was quite formidable.

On the other side.

While Gao Junning and his sister went out to find Su Liluo, Regent Gao Changhong also quietly went out behind them.

He changed into his usual clothes and, based on the information he had gathered, arrived at the gate of the Su residence.

"I've come to see the lady of your household."

Gao Changhong said coldly to the gatekeeper of the Su residence.

Although he had changed into ordinary civilian clothes, he still spoke with an innate arrogance.

The gatekeeper of the Su residence glanced at him and said indifferently, "Our old lady has been staying indoors for a long time, so you won't be able to see her."

Neither Su Yu nor Su Zhen have a legal wife, so when the gatekeeper heard that they were looking for the wife, he subconsciously assumed they were looking for Old Madam Su.

"I'm not looking for the old lady, I'm here to---"

Before Gao Changhong could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by a woman wearing a light red belted dress who came out from inside.

Are you here to see my mother?

The person who arrived was none other than Su Wanshi.

She recently suffered a miscarriage, and her complexion was still a little pale, so she wore a rather heavy layer of makeup.

She hadn't even reached the door yet when she overheard Gao Changhong's conversation with the security guard.

Since he wasn't looking for the old lady, then it must be his mother, Jiang Qinshu, who was killed by Su Liluo.

Su Wanshi has met quite a few people now. Although Gao Changhong was dressed simply, she still sensed an extraordinary aura about him and felt that he was definitely not an ordinary person.

If this person has a past relationship with your mother, or is a friend of your mother, then is he here to help you?

Therefore, Su Wanshi looked at Gao Changhong with curiosity and intense gaze.
