"You're lying to me! You're only saying this because you don't want me to see the prince!"

Su Wanshi glared fiercely at Qi Yinyin, not believing her words.

Qi Yinyin wasn't embarrassed by being exposed; she just sneered, "I'm the only woman in the Prince's mansion now, and I'm the one the Prince of Chu dotes on the most. Why would I need to deceive a woman like you who is nothing?"

Her words were piercing, infuriating Su Wanshi.

Yes, the King of Chu had never even had a concubine before, as he said he wanted to remain chaste.

But now, not only have they not driven this wretched woman away, they've actually kept her in the mansion!

Does this mean that the King of Chu has really changed his mind?

What if the King of Chu changes his mind about her?

Su Wanshi's anger gradually turned into panic. After a long pause, her attitude suddenly improved.

"I only want to see the King of Chu. I'll leave after I see him. Can't you at least inform him?"

"I already told you that the prince is not here. If you need anything, just tell me, and I will pass it on to him when he returns."

Qi Yinyin repeated it in an annoyed tone.

This woman is clearly here to seduce the prince; she can't let her in and steal the wealth that's already within her grasp.

Su Wanshi realized that Qi Yinyin would never let her in, but she didn't want to give up, so she looked from outside the door into the house.

With a whoosh, taking advantage of Qi Yinyin's unpreparedness, she was about to rush inside.

"Quick, stop her!"

Seeing that Su Wanshi had already rushed in and was about to run into the mansion, Qi Yinyin quickly ordered the people around her to catch her.

Su Wanshi naturally knew the way to the Chu Prince's mansion. After entering, she ran towards Xiao Churen's courtyard.

However, Qi Yinyin had summoned many servants, and in the end, they still managed to capture Su Wanshi and throw her out.

Once the gates were closed, Su Wanshi looked at the Chu Prince's mansion with resentment and could only go home crying.

Now that the Chu King's mansion is under the control of this vile woman, she needs to go back and think of another way.

She walked all the way home.

When she walked back to the small courtyard of the Su residence, she saw many guards outside the gate, carrying many things covered with red cloth, which filled the entire courtyard.

What happened?

Su Wanshi felt a little strange and immediately lifted her skirt and ran inside.

Upon entering the courtyard, one sees Jiang Qinshu smiling as she sits in the hall receiving a young, wealthy woman, while her elder brother stands tall to the side.

"Second Aunt, what's going on? Who is this young lady...?"

After Su Wanshi entered, she looked at Jiang Qinshu with curiosity.

"Wanshi, come and pay your respects to the princess!"

Jiang Qinshu quickly greeted him with a smile.

"Princess......"

Why are you at her house?

Su Wanshi couldn't believe what she was hearing, but since Jiang Qinshu had spoken, she naturally stepped forward respectfully and bowed.

The woman dressed in red, with striking and flamboyant features, glanced at Su Wanshi with a smile, "Is this Young Master Su's sister?"

"Yes, this is his sister, Wan Shi."

Jiang Qinshu smiled so broadly that her eyes disappeared, and immediately and enthusiastically introduced Su Wanshi to the princess.

Then, Su Wanshi realized that this was the Emperor's second princess.

Previously, due to the death of her former consort, she had been in mourning for him for two years in a nunnery outside the imperial city, and was only able to return to the imperial city this year.

On their way back to the city, they encountered a crazed mob trying to assassinate them at the city gate. It was Su Lianwu who saved the Second Princess's life at the city gate.

Therefore, the second princess came to express her gratitude today with gifts.

Su Wanshi was overjoyed when she learned of the situation.

The Su family is in a bad situation right now. If the eldest brother gets involved with the second princess at this time, that would be a great thing!

The second princess was very pleased with Su Lianwu's heroic act of rescuing the damsel in distress and spoke highly of him to the emperor, which resulted in a significant increase in Su Lianwu's salary.

The second princess stayed at the Su residence for quite a while, and Su Wanshi quickly got along well with her. Before long, the two addressed each other as sisters.

From the Second Princess's words, Su Wanshi vaguely sensed her feelings for her eldest brother, so she would occasionally try to bring them together.

After seeing the second princess off, Su Wanshi walked up to Su Lianwu and advised, "Brother, you are really lucky to have saved the princess. Now you have a chance to rise to prominence. You must seize this opportunity with the second princess!"

“Sister Wanshi, don’t think nonsense. My current status is not worthy of the princess. Besides, the princess has already been married.”

Su Lianwu looked at Su Wanshi seriously and quickly cut her off.

He saved the second princess merely out of duty, and he also wanted to gain benefits through her, but he had no intention of marrying her.

Because this second princess had been married before, and was several years older than her, and not her type.

Although he was vain, he was also somewhat chauvinistic and did not want to marry a woman he did not like.

More importantly, he had vaguely heard rumors that the Second Princess was jealous, and that all the concubines in her former husband's courtyard had been tortured to death by her.

After that former prince consort died, he didn't even leave behind a single heir.

He really wouldn't dare marry a woman like that.

"Brother, this is a princess! If you can marry her, it will be a great help to our Su family!"

Su Wanshi said with a sense of disappointment.

"That's right, Lianwu! With the Su family in its current state, if you could win over the princess, it would greatly benefit your future! What are you thinking!"

Jiang Qinshu offered the same advice.

Su Lianwu looked distressed and explained, "Mother, this Second Princess is widowed. You don't know, everyone outside says the Second Princess is very jealous, and those women in the Prince Consort's harem..."

Su Lianwu told him everything he knew.

"this....."

Jiang Qinshu hesitated for a moment after hearing this. If the Second Princess was really that ruthless, she would indeed have to consider it.

After all, she didn't want Su Lianwu to be childless!

But Su Wanshi didn't care and still advised, "Second Aunt, don't be short-sighted. It's just a child. If my eldest brother marries the princess, he can adopt the child born to his mistress without telling the princess."

Or we could adopt my second brother's child later. Given our family's current situation, if we could get close to the princess, it would be helpful for my eldest brother, father, and second brother's careers!

Look at Su Liluo now, isn't she only so arrogant because she married the Crown Prince? Are we supposed to live like this forever, down on our luck?"

Jiang Qinshu was swayed by what she heard.

Yes, are they destined to remain down on their luck forever?

At worst, we can just have Su Lianwu adopted later.

This is a princess. As long as their family gets involved with the princess, and Wan Shi gets involved with the King of Chu, do they still have to be afraid of Su Li Luo?

Jiang Qinshu became more and more tempted, so she turned her head and gave Su Lianwu a stern order.

"Lianwu, your mother commands you to marry the Second Princess! Otherwise, your mother will disown you!"
