"Who are you?"

Gao Changhong looked at the unfamiliar woman in front of him with suspicion.

"I am the legitimate daughter of this household."

Su Wanshi answered confidently.

The only thing she can boast about now is her status as the legitimate daughter of the Su family, especially now that Su Zhen is highly regarded by the emperor, so when people mention the Su family, they naturally think of Su Zhen.

Therefore, whenever Su Wanshi went out and introduced herself to others, she would say that she was the legitimate daughter of the Su family. People naturally mistakenly thought that she was Su Zhen's daughter, and she did not explain.

"Is your father General Su?"

Sure enough, Gao Changhong immediately looked at Su Wanshi nervously upon hearing her words.

When Su Wanshi saw Gao Changhong's eager gaze, she assumed he was like the others outside, so she simply smiled faintly in response.

Looks like another person trying to curry favor with Su Zhen!

Su Wanshi thought with disappointment and anger, while also blaming her father Su Yu for being so useless. They were brothers, so why was her father so good-for-nothing?

After serving as an official for over a decade, he was still only a sixth-rank official.

"Where is your mother? Where is she now? Could you take me to see her?"

Seeing Su Wanshi's faint smile, Gao Changhong assumed it was a tacit agreement and continued to press for answers.

"My mother died a long time ago."

Su Wanshi's tone wasn't very friendly, especially when she suddenly thought of Jiang Qinshu, which added to her resentment.

"Dead? How did she die? Who killed your mother?"

Gao Changhong's tone suddenly turned cold.

Who killed her mother?

Isn't it just Su Liluo?

Su Wanshi didn't think too much about Gao Changhong's long string of questions; her heart was filled with hatred for Su Liluo.

Su Liluo should have been the most miserable person in her past life, but now everything has changed in this life. How can she accept this?

So, she thought this in her heart and then said it aloud.

"It was the Crown Princess. She had my mother killed and didn't even bring the body back."

Su Wanshi said with resentment and sadness.

"Princess!"

A hint of hatred escaped Gao Changhong's lips.

Is she the Crown Princess who made the Crown Prince unwilling to marry his own daughter?

Great, that's really great!

After receiving the answer, Gao Changhong clenched his fist, then abruptly turned and left.

By the time Su Wanshi realized what was happening, the person was already gone.

*

The Chu King's Palace.

Ever since Xiao Churen regained his memories of his previous life, he has been thinking about seeing Su Liluo, but he has never had the chance.

Now that Gao Yufei has taken a liking to the Crown Prince, he thinks Su Lilu must be in a terrible mess, and their marital relationship will be affected to some extent.

So, on that day, he led his men to Su Liluo's pharmacy to find her.

Su Liluo had just finished inspecting the pharmacy and hadn't even gotten into her sedan chair when she ran into the King of Chu.

"Long time no see, Luo'er."

Xiao Churen walked up to him and greeted him with a smile.

Originally, Su Liluo had no intention of paying attention to him, but when she heard him suddenly call her Luo'er, she couldn't help but stop in her tracks.

He glanced at him with disgust. "King of Chu, please watch your words and be respectful."

"Your Highness, would you have time to have a cup of tea with me?"

Xiao Churen lowered his eyes and smiled, showing no annoyance whatsoever.

Drinking tea with the King of Chu?

Su Liluo was naturally unwilling, but when she met his gaze, she felt that Xiao Churen was acting strangely today.

If she didn't agree today, he would probably find another opportunity later, so she might as well get to the bottom of it today. Besides, she didn't have anything else to do.

Surprisingly, Su Liluo agreed, which made Xiao Churen even more confident.

Could it be that Su Liluo still has feelings for him?

Just like in her previous life, she had always loved him but could not have him, which is why she agreed to his request so easily.

If that's the case, then he wouldn't mind cooperating with her again, just like in his previous life.

And in this life, he will never misunderstand Su Wanshi like he did in the previous life.

After all, in terms of appearance, ability, and personality, Su Liluo is far superior to Su Wanshi, who betrayed her.

In his previous life, he was blinded by Su Wanshi, which is why he gave up on burning Su Liluo, a woman who was so devoted to him.

"I wonder what the King of Chu wishes to say to me?"

The two entered the top floor of a teahouse and found a private room with a view of the outside scenery to sit down.

Seeing that there were no outsiders present, Su Liluo directly asked Xiao Churen.

Xiao Churen personally picked up the blue-and-white porcelain teapot and poured a cup of fragrant green tea for Su Liluo.

She smiled and said, "No rush, we can catch up slowly."

"Reminiscing? King Chu, you're quite the joker. When have I ever had a past with you?"

Su Liluo sneered.

Xiao Churen's attempt to reminisce made her feel nauseous.

But today, Xiao Churen was unusually patient. He wasn't angry at Su Liluo's attitude and cold words. Instead, he looked at her with a smile in his peach blossom eyes.

"How could it not be old? I am, after all, your savior, Luo'er."

"What did you say?"

Su Liluo was stunned by Xiao Churen's words and stared at him with wide eyes in disbelief.

Why did he call him his savior?

What...did he know?

A faint tremor ran through Su Liluo's heart, as if something unfavorable had happened to her.

Xiao Churen raised his eyes and met Su Liluo's surprised gaze. His eyes looked gentle, but in reality, they were like a dangerous blade pointed at her.

“I say, I did save Luo’er’s life in the freezing cold, and she once said she was willing to go through fire and water for me. What does it matter if she marries a cripple?”

Xiao Churen recounted, word by word, what Su Liluo had said to him when she agreed to marry the crown prince in his place in their previous life.

Upon hearing this, and seeing Xiao Churen's chilling smile, Su Liluo felt as if her blood had frozen.

He, too, was reborn!

I now know about my past life!

"What, have you forgotten? Of course, Luo'er has forgotten what she promised me, otherwise how could you have cured the Crown Prince's leg and made me suffer so much?"

"Luo'er, I was wrong in my past life, I misunderstood you. Shall we reconcile in this life?"

Su Liluo stood there, still reeling from the shock, when Xiao Churen's soft voice came from beside her again.

He watched with admiration as Su Liluo's astonished expression, becoming even more certain that Su Liluo had been reborn before him, which explained why so many changes had occurred in this life.

However, he wasn't angry that Su Liluo had been reborn before him; on the contrary, he was relieved.

Because if, like in the previous life, Su Liluo is killed by the second branch of the Su family, then the Crown Prince will go mad and she will die as well, ultimately benefiting the lowly Prince Xiao.

It's fine as it is now.

She won't die; she can still be with herself.
