"She...she died in childbirth...no one...no one killed her..."

When Su Zhen unleashed his power, everyone in the hall shivered, and Jiang Qinshu stammered as she spoke.

"Big brother, it's like this..."

Seeing this situation, Su Yu came out and explained the whole story.

He told Su Zhen that Jiang Ruanhuai's twin pregnancy was already difficult, and then, when she was about to give birth, she accidentally heard the news of his death in battle, which greatly shocked her. She fell and then had a difficult labor.

Later, because Jiang Qinshu also lost her daughter, they took it upon themselves to adopt one of Jiang Ruan's children into their names in order to comfort her.

This daughter is Su Liluo, but Su Liluo is far less obedient and sensible than her older sister Su Wanshi. Because of her jealousy of her sister, Su Liluo did many rebellious things, ruining the Su family to its current state.

After they finished speaking, they made Su Wanshi kowtow to Su Zhen and acknowledge him as her father.

When Su Zhen saw the unfamiliar veiled woman in front of him, who looked graceful and delicate, his icy aura subtly warmed up.

"You're Wan Shi?"

Su Zhen looked at Su Wanshi with loving eyes.

"Father, I am an unfilial daughter. I failed to take good care of my younger sister for you and Mother, and it is all my fault as the older sister that she has become like this!"

Su Wanshi cried out and then suddenly kowtowed to Su Zhen.

"Wanshi, get up quickly. How can this be your fault? You're just a child yourself."

Su Zhen immediately helped Su Wanshi up. Seeing the veil on her face, he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you wearing a veil? Can your father see what you look like?"

"Father, your daughter..."

Su Wanshi lowered her eyes sadly, hesitant to speak.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Su Zhen felt a pang of sympathy.

"Big brother, Wan Shi was burned! Her face is burned!"

At this moment, Jiang Qinshu, who was standing to the side, said while crying.

"What? How could it have been burned? What happened?"

Su Zhen asked angrily.

Originally, Su Zhen already felt guilty for not being able to take care of his daughter from childhood to adulthood. Now that he knows his daughter is disfigured, Su Zhen is even more furious and guilty.

"Second Aunt, please stop talking. This has nothing to do with my sister. There's no evidence to support it."

Su Wanshi deliberately tried to cover up her misunderstanding by saying one sentence to Jiang Qinshu.

She knew that the more she said this, the more Su Zhen would believe that Su Liluo was the one who did it.

As expected, Su Zhen got angry.

"Su Liluo, how could my daughter have turned out like this! She's become the Crown Princess, how could she turn against her own family? If Jiang Ruan finds out..."

How heartbreaking!

Su Zhen was in some pain.

He was both angry at Su Liluo's mistakes and felt that it was his own fault for not properly educating her that led to this situation.

But at that moment, the voice of Su Zhen's daughter, Qing Lingling, came through the room, carrying a hint of curiosity.

"Hey, sister, even Second Aunt didn't say it was Su Liluo who did it, so why are you saying it was her?"

"......."

Su Wanshi was stunned by the question, and then turned her attention to the two children and the woman that Su Zhen had brought back.

Su Zhen just said that the woman's name is Cui Niang. She saved him back then and is now his concubine. The two children are Su Zhen's children.

Su Zhen's eyes flashed with doubt when he heard his daughter's words. He glanced at Su Wanshi and the others, feeling that something was amiss.

"Who else would do this besides her? For the past six months, she has turned her back on all her relatives and has ruined our Su family like this. Eldest son, you should just disown this daughter too!"

Just as Su Wanshi was feeling awkward, Old Madam Su spoke up angrily.

"Madam, she is, after all, my daughter. I can't just ignore her. I'll make time to see her and have a good talk with her after I'm done with this in a couple of days."

Su Zhen did not address the old lady as "mother." In his heart, he only had one mother, but his father had made her his official wife before his death, so he had no choice but to respect her now.

Although Su Zhen was also angry at Su Liluo for doing such a thing, he still felt a lot of heartache and self-blame for her.

Therefore, Su Zhen planned to talk to Su Liluo himself first and try to persuade her.

He recently returned and still has a lot to do in the court, leaving early and returning late every day, while also settling some matters in his residence.

After two busy days, Su Zhen was preparing to go to the Crown Prince's residence to see Su Liluo, but he did not expect that Su Liluo would come to his door before he even left.

After two days of investigation, Su Liluo learned that the woman Su Zhen brought back was his father's savior, an honest farm girl.

She thought about it carefully for two days and realized that since her mother was gone and her father would be lonely for the rest of his life, she shouldn't take the woman too seriously as long as she wasn't a bad person.

So she and Xiao Ye took the initiative to visit Su Zhen.

"Master, Madam, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess have arrived!"

Just as the Su family was having breakfast together in the hall, a servant came in and reported something.

The hall fell silent instantly. Su Yu and the others were somewhat worried and guilty, while Su Zhen was filled with complex and shocked feelings. He felt that he didn't know how to face his daughter.

Finally, Su Zhen's youngest daughter, Qiao Jie'er, spoke up with a smile: "Wow, is this my other older sister? I get to see another older sister!"

"Yes, someone tidy this place up and prepare the finest tea and snacks to entertain the Crown Prince and Crown Princess."
