When Xiao Churen arrived after hearing the news, he just happened to see Su Liluo's slap fall.

Su Wanshi knelt on the ground, weak and helpless.

He touched his slapped cheek with one hand, feeling utterly humiliated, and looked at Su Liluo with malice and resentment.

Xiao Churen, standing at a distance, could not see the terrifying gaze; he only saw Su Wanshi's pitiful state.

Then he recalled that Su Wanshi had been slapped by Su Liluo at the palace gate in the same way last time. At that time, he was worried that since they were outside, it would cause controversy if he took action to avenge her.

So he just made a few sarcastic remarks to Su Liluo.

This is the second time today that I've seen my beloved looking so pitiful.

He was heartbroken.

So he stopped caring about his status.

He quickly ran to Su Wanshi, helped her up from the ground, and pulled her into his arms.

Then, he looked at Su Liluo with a fierce gaze.

"If she is not qualified, then what about me!"

Su Liluo looked at Xiao Churen, who seemed to want to devour her.

He sneered, "Just because you're a prince, does that mean you can search the Crown Prince at will? Does the Prince of Chu really think he's going to take the Crown Prince's place?"

Xiao Churen's expression remained unchanged, and he let out a cold snort.

"I am not searching the Crown Prince's residence without a reason. It is because the Su family's storeroom was robbed, and I am doing this to clear your names."

"What does the theft of the Su family's treasury have to do with us? Prince Chu, you must be careful with your words!"

Su Lilu smiled at Xiao Churen, her eyes crinkling with a smile that made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Whether there's a connection or not, a search will tell us."

Xiao Churen did not back down at all.

The more he heard Su Liluo say this, the more he wanted to help Su Wanshi.

Su Wanshi, standing to the side, was extremely excited.

Now that the King of Chu has come to her aid, she no longer needs to be bullied by Su Liluo.

"Ha, how can the Crown Prince's residence be searched so easily? If Your Highness Prince Chu still has any shame, please go back."

Su Liluo was reminding Xiao Churen to be mindful of his reputation.

But Xiao Churen seemed determined not to back down, stubbornly asking, "Does the Crown Princess feel guilty?"

"Feeling guilty?"

Su Liluo looked impatiently at Xiao Churen's sinister and furious eyes, and at this moment she was also somewhat provoked.

She hadn't originally planned to confront the King of Chu so soon, but since he was offering himself up, she wouldn't refuse.

Then she gave a cold laugh.

"Want to search? Sure, but I have to make this clear beforehand: if you don't find anything, then it's Su Wanshi framing me."

This crime of falsely accusing the Crown Princess is no small matter; I can punish her however I want! Do you agree?

this......

Xiao Churen hesitated.

He's here to support Su Wanshi, that's fine, but if he fails to find anything later, wouldn't it be even worse if Wanshi gets punished because of it?

Su Wanshi was not afraid. She believed that since the King of Chu was here, even if they didn't find anything later, he would definitely protect her.

Therefore, Su Wanshi raised her chin and said:

"Alright, if nothing is found, the Crown Princess can do whatever she wants with you. But what if something is found?"

She looked at Su Liluo defiantly.

Su Liluo stood with her hands behind her back, head held high and chest out.

"If you find it, then you may empty my entire Crown Prince's residence!"

Empty the Crown Prince's residence?

Upon hearing this, not only Su Wanshi, but even her parents revealed greedy eyes.

That's the Crown Prince's residence!

Even though the Crown Prince is currently suffering and out of favor, he once possessed considerable wealth.

If we really let them empty the place, we'll make a fortune!

Therefore, Su Wanshi readily agreed.

Just as their men were about to go in and search, Su Liluo stopped them again.

Looking at the King of Chu, he said, "I haven't finished yet. If we don't find it, Your Highness will have to kneel down and apologize to me!"

"you!"

Xiao Churen glared at Su Liluo in shock and anger.

Should he, a prince, kneel down and apologize to her?

Isn't this a blatant insult to his dignity?

"What, does the King of Chu dare not?"

Su Liluo looked at him with amusement.

Xiao Churen's expression was very unpleasant. He was about to refuse when Su Liluo spoke first.

"If you dare not, then don't search. Otherwise, my Crown Prince's residence cannot bear such an insult."

Seeing that Xiao Churen seemed to be backing down, Su Wanshi quickly stepped forward.

"This is so unfair! You're punishing both of us for not finding anything, but you're only fining the Crown Prince's property for finding it."

“Fairness is fine, but if you find out, I will not only fine you, but I will also kneel down and apologize to you.”

Su Liluo raised an eyebrow; she was quite confident.

Upon hearing this, Su Wanshi was overjoyed.

She was thrilled just thinking about Su Lilu kneeling down and apologizing to her.

She decided she had to do a thorough search.

However, Xiao Churen hesitated.

Seeing Su Liluo's confident demeanor, he became truly uncertain.

However, Su Wanshi readily agreed in front of him.

"It's a deal then, and I hope the Crown Princess will keep her word!"

"......"

Once the words were spoken, Xiao Churen couldn't stop him no matter what he wanted to say.

We can only hope that they will actually find something in the Crown Prince's residence later.

As a result, the servants of the Su family and the people brought by the Prince of Chu all went to search the Crown Prince's residence.

The Crown Prince's residence was vast, and it took the group about one or two hours to search it completely.

Of course, this action also alarmed Xiao Ye.

He sat in his room, listening to the reports from the guards, his gaze coldly fixed on the people who had entered the mansion to search it.
