Burned to Death by Family, Reborn to Empty Mother's House to Marry the Crown Prince

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...

Chapter 171 Why didn't your older brother come to the banquet?

The general's legitimate daughter?

Upon hearing this, Su Wanshi suddenly realized that Consort Liu was unaware of her true parentage and believed that she was Su Zhen's daughter, which was why she told her that.

Her heart ached as if it were being squeezed. Why wasn't she Su Zhen's daughter anymore?

But faced with Consort Liu's current courteous attitude, she lacked the courage to reveal the truth.

Anyway, she wasn't Su Zhen's daughter, but she was Su Zhen's niece.

Since her mother was taken away and executed by the Crown Princess, her eldest uncle has not mentioned revealing her identity to the outside world, so he probably has no intention of doing so.

Although her uncle only had eyes for Su Liluo, as long as he didn't reveal her true identity to others, she would still be his daughter in their eyes.

Therefore, Su Wanshi did not refute Consort Liu's words, but simply listened obediently.

"If Miss Zheng were a concubine and you were the principal wife, that would be wonderful. It's just a pity that the marriage was bestowed by the Emperor and cannot be changed. I wonder if General Su would agree."

Consort Liu sighed again, feigning disappointment, but secretly watched Su Wanshi's expression, wanting her to go back and persuade Su Zhen.

However, she didn't know that Su Wanshi's thoughts were completely different from her own.

Hearing that Consort Liu intended to make her the principal wife, she felt that Zheng Qinxue was blocking her way and hated her to the extreme.

If Zheng Qinxue were gone, could I become the King of Chu's principal wife?

Before she knew it, she had developed the idea of ​​getting rid of Zheng Qinxue.

After chatting with Consort Liu for a while, she happily returned to the Su residence with the rewards Consort Liu had given her.

On the seventh day of the third lunar month, the wind was clear and the air was fresh, and everything was renewed.

The Su residence, which had been desolate before, was now decorated with festive red lanterns and rearranged.

Today, Su Zhen is hosting a banquet at his residence to celebrate his return to Daliang from the Northern Desert.

Everyone in the court knew that Su Zhen had made military achievements and been promoted, and was currently enjoying the emperor's favor, so they all came to the banquet.

The Su family was extremely busy. Seeing so many people honored to come, Su Yu and his family forgot about the previous unpleasantness and felt incredibly proud. They warmly received them.

Su Liluo and Xiao Ye arrived at the Su residence at 9:00 AM.

When they entered, many officials and their families had already arrived in the courtyard of the Su residence.

"Your Highness! You've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you!"

Just a short while after Su Liluo and the others entered, a clear voice, filled with joy, came from the side.

She looked in the direction of the voice and saw Song Donghao walking towards her with a strange young man.

"Young Master Song."

Su Lilu greeted him politely.

Song Donghao smiled and bowed to Su Liluo and Xiao Ye, then said, "Thank you for saving my elder brother last time, Crown Princess. My elder brother is much better now and can stand up and walk again."

Since Su Liluo visited Grand Tutor Song's residence to treat Song Lingshi, left behind a prescription, and taught the family physician how to recuperate, his elder brother was able to stand up ten days ago.

He originally intended to go directly to the Crown Prince's residence to express his gratitude, but he went several times without finding them at home, so he never managed to thank them in person.

Having met him at the Su residence today, Song Donghao naturally went up to express his gratitude and said that they would later send a generous gift to the Crown Prince's residence.

"Now that you're better, why didn't your older brother come to the banquet today?"

Su Liluo followed up with the question.

“My eldest brother can stand up now, but he can’t stand for long, otherwise his legs will still hurt a bit. He will probably need to continue taking medicine, so I didn’t let him come today. My second brother and I came together.”

Song Donghao smiled.

Upon hearing this, Su Liluo frowned slightly and glanced at the slender, tall man next to Song Donghao, who had a faint smile on his thin lips and deep eyes.

This must be the second young master of the Song family.

Last time, it seemed that his aunt was deliberately preventing him from treating Song Lingshi; their reactions were quite strange.

Now that so much time has passed, if the imperial physician had followed her method, Song Lingshi should have fully recovered and there would be no reason for him to have leg pain after standing for too long.

Clearly, something must have gone wrong.

"Young Master Song's recovery is still a bit slow. I'll go to his residence to check on him again in a couple of days."

So, Su Lilu casually said something.

That must have been really tough.

Song Donghao was about to say with a smile that the Crown Princess had worked hard, but before he could finish speaking, his second brother interrupted him.

“The Song family has a physician to take care of my elder brother. I was already very sorry to have troubled the Crown Princess to treat him last time. It should only be a matter of time. As long as he continues to take the medicine according to the Crown Princess’s method, he will definitely get better. I’m sorry to trouble the Crown Princess again this time.”

"Oh? It seems that Young Master Song is not welcoming my visit? But I don't mind the trouble, so I'd like to go and see. I treated this person, so I naturally have to take responsibility. What if something unexpected happens later?"

Su Liluo noticed Song Er Gongzi's guilty conscience and chuckled mockingly.

The Second Young Master Song's expression turned slightly unpleasant, and he gave an awkward laugh, "In that case, I'll trouble the Crown Princess."

His hands were clenched tightly inside his sleeves.

It seems he needs to plan ahead.

"This Second Young Master Song seems to have some problems."

After exchanging pleasantries with Song Donghao and the others, Xiao Ye whispered something in Su Liluo's ear.

"Yes, after Father's banquet, we'll go to the Grand Tutor's mansion the next day. I'm afraid they'll try to shift the blame onto me."
