In her past life, Su LiLuo sacrificed everything for Prince Chu’s grand ambitions. She agreed to a proxy marriage with the crippled Crown Prince, disregarding her reputation and using her charm t...
“This… what Lian Wu said seems to make some sense.”
Jiang Qinshu, who was still grieving, suddenly stopped when she heard Su Lianwu's words.
Her eyes darted around quickly, and she exchanged a glance with Su Wanshi. She said happily, "That way, Su Zhen will treat Wanshi like his own daughter. Since Wanshi is still unmarried, she can marry into a wealthy family as the daughter of a general."
"Mother, I'm disfigured, how can I ever get married?"
Su Wanshi still couldn't be happy. Now that her face had become like this, who would want her?
"Wanshi, don't worry. As long as you can use Su Zhen's identity to get engaged to the Prince of Chu, you can find someone to heal your face then."
Even if Su Zhen thought you and Su Liluo didn't look alike at that time, and you were already engaged to the Prince of Chu, he certainly wouldn't expose you for his own benefit.
"Will this really work?"
Su Wanshi seemed to have been persuaded by Jiang Qinshu and was starting to feel a little tempted.
Indeed, if she had the status of a general's legitimate daughter, her marriage into the Chu Prince's mansion would be much smoother.
"Of course you can. Wear the veil now, and when Su Zhen comes back, you can complain to him. Maybe he will feel sorry for you and blame Su Liluo for bullying you."
Jiang Qinshu said affirmatively.
"By the way, Mother, who set fire to our house? Could it have been Su Liluo?"
Upon hearing Su Liluo's name, Su Wanshi immediately recalled the fire that had destroyed their home.
"It must be her! Who else could possibly have such a deep grudge against us! That wretched girl! We have to report her to the authorities! Our house is burned down, and we don't have a single penny to our name. We have to make her pay us back!"
Jiang Qinshu, thinking of how their belongings had been burned to ashes, immediately felt indignant and said...
"Let's report it to the authorities first and let them find out who set the fire. We shouldn't wrongly accuse the Crown Princess."
Su Xuanlang advised.
"Hmph, what accusation? We'll report her to the authorities and teach her a lesson. Even if she's the Crown Princess, she can't just burn down someone else's courtyard like that!"
Jiang Qinshu snorted coldly.
Soon, they went to the government office to report the case.
Last night, such a huge fire naturally became known throughout the city, and Su Liluo, who was at the Crown Prince's residence, also heard the news.
"You're saying the Su family's house caught fire and burned to the ground?"
As soon as Su Liluo got up, Ran Mei ran over excitedly to tell her the news she had heard outside.
"Your Majesty, it's truly a miracle! She tried to force me to set fire to your house, and now even Heaven couldn't stand it anymore, so she's getting her comeuppance!"
"Has God seen the truth?"
Su Lilu murmured something to herself, pondered for a moment, and then a smile appeared on her lips as she looked down the road Xiao Ye had gone down.
He came home quite late last night; he must have started the fire at the Su residence!
"Wait a minute, let's go see what's going on!"
Su Liluo smiled.
At 9:00 AM, Su Liluo rode in a sedan chair, accompanied by several maids and guards, to the alley where the Su family lived.
At this time, government officials had already arrived to investigate the cause of the fire.
Su Wanshi and the others were assisting by explaining their guesses and the situation in the mansion.
As soon as Su Liluo got off the carriage, she saw Jiang Qinshu talking animatedly to the soldiers, and she could vaguely hear the words "Crown Princess" in the conversation.
Su Lilu smiled and walked over there.
"Oh dear, what's going on? I just heard someone calling me!"
Su Lilu chuckled softly.
The Su family looked over at the sound and saw Su Liluo wearing a pale yellow Shu brocade dress, looking elegant and clean. Compared to what they were wearing, it was like heaven and earth.
"Crown Princess, how dare you come here?"
The moment Su Wanshi saw Su Liluo, she couldn't hide the hatred in her eyes. She had long forgotten about rank and status. Only the soldiers beside her bowed respectfully to Su Liluo.
"Why wouldn't I dare to come?"
Su Liluo pretended not to know anything and said calmly.
The sunlight fell on her face, making her already flawless skin appear as if it had been bathed in divine light, so delicate and translucent that even the fine hairs on her face could be seen.
With her delicate and pretty features, she is breathtakingly beautiful.
Su Wanshi grew increasingly jealous, her sharp eyes fixed on her, and she blurted out, "You set fire to our courtyard, and now you're here to watch the show! Once we find the evidence, we'll definitely report you to the Emperor!"
"Have you found any evidence?"
Su Liluo pouted, looking completely nonchalant, which infuriated Su Wanshi and the others.
"You, how could you be so vicious! How could I have given birth to such a vicious daughter!"
Jiang Qinshu couldn't help but cry and curse at Su Liluo's arrogant attitude.
"Second Aunt, don't get it wrong. I've already been adopted out. I'm not your daughter. Impersonating the Crown Princess's mother is a crime! If you don't learn your lesson, I'll have someone slap you."
"you......."
Jiang Qinshu was so angry that her chest heaved up and down.
At this moment, Su Lianwu, who was standing to the side, held Jiang Qinshu down and walked up to Su Liluo with a cold face.
"On behalf of my mother and sister, I apologize to the Crown Princess. The reason they said that is because they feel that the only one who has a problem with our Su family is the Crown Princess. Please forgive them."
"Is that so? Are you really so confident that you've only ever had a grudge against me?"
Su Liluo raised her chin and chuckled softly.
Su Lianwu paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "The Su family members are always kind to others. I really can't think of anyone else who would dislike us as much as the Crown Princess."
