Su Liluo arrived at the hall, where Su Wanshi had a large table of dishes served and sat beside her with a smile.

"Your Highness, these exquisite dishes were all prepared especially for you."

Su Wanshi was incredibly enthusiastic, showing none of her previous hostility or hypocrisy.

Su Liluo glanced at it indifferently and saw that the table was densely packed with delicacies.

Among them were several dishes that she used to love, but Jiang Qinshu and the others wouldn't let her eat them.

For example, there are delicacies such as sea cucumber and abalone, crispy braised pork knuckle, and braised duck with lychee kidney.

Tsk tsk...

Su Wanshi's actions are like a weasel offering New Year's greetings!

The concubines in the palace could only eat a few lychees all year round, but now she was willing to use lychees to cook for herself.

"You're so thoughtful. I'm quite touched. I didn't expect you to prepare such a sumptuous meal."

Su Liluo played along, feigning concern.

Su Wanshi smiled slightly, thinking that Su Liluo had been tricked!

She had her maid bring the stewed duck with lychees and kidneys to Su Liluo, and then she personally used unused chopsticks to pick up a lychee and put it in the bowl.

"I remember that the Crown Princess especially loved eating lychees when she was a child. The Su family finally managed to get a few a few days ago, and I specially cooked them for you today since you've come. Crown Princess, please try them!"

Su Liluo glanced down at the lychees in the bowl, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

She laughed and said, "This really touches me! I never expected you to be so kind to me. I'm the kind of person who's kind to me and I'll be kind to those who are kind to me!"

Since you're so kind to me, then I'll bestow these lychees upon you as a reward!

Su Wanshi panicked and hurriedly refused, "No, no need, Your Highness, this was specially prepared for you!"

"What, do you dislike my reward?"

Su Liluo frowned, feigning anger.

Su Wanshi felt resentful but forced a smile: "Of course not, I just think these lychees are rare and I want the Crown Princess to enjoy them."

"Is that so? I don't mind. Let's each have half of these lychees. Here, you eat first!"

As she spoke, Su Liluo placed the plate of lychees in front of Su Wanshi.

He picked up one of the eggs and was about to put it into Su Wanshi's mouth.

Su Wanshi dared not eat. Seeing the chopsticks about to reach her lips, she quickly backed away.

"Your Highness, this was really prepared especially for you. Please don't make things difficult for me!"

"How dare you! You actually say that my reward is a burden? Su Wanshi, what do you mean by that?"

Su Liluo put down her chopsticks and deliberately said angrily.

Su Wanshi was so frightened that she quickly explained, "Your Highness has misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I just feel that I am not worthy of this precious thing and do not want to compete with Your Highness for it."

"Steal? This is clearly a gift from me! If you don't eat it, you're disrespecting me! Someone, put the lychees into Miss Su's bowl!"

Su Liluo sneered.

Then her maidservant brought lychees and tried to put them into Su Wanshi's bowl.

Su Wanshi wanted to refuse, but Su Liluo had the maid feed her.

Just as the glistening lychee was about to be fed to Su Wanshi, she couldn't resist any longer. She pretended to lose her balance and knocked over the bowl.

With a crash, the bowl shattered, and the lychees fell to the ground.

"How dare you! Your resistance is so strong, could it be that the lychee contains—"

Su Liluo was about to use this to accuse Su Wanshi of poisoning her, and then have a doctor come to test for the poison so that she could have evidence to arrest Su Wanshi.

Before she could finish speaking, several puppies appeared out of nowhere and quickly devoured the lychee that had rolled to the ground.

The evidence is gone.

Su Liluo looked at Su Wanshi with deep, unfathomable eyes.

Su Wanshi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene.

Fortunately, I had made multiple preparations.

This Su Liluo is indeed not so easy to deceive!

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I was so excited that I lost my footing and lost my composure. Please forgive me. It's just a pity about these lychees. I'll have someone in the manor make you a new batch!"

Meeting Su Liluo's gaze, Su Wanshi's eyes secretly held a hint of provocation.

It's as if to say, "So what if you figured it out? You still don't have any evidence."

Moreover, this poison only causes disfigurement, so it won't be fatal for a puppy to eat it.

Even if you check the puppy, you won't find any problems.

Su Liluo calmed down for a moment before letting out a cold laugh.

She underestimated Su Wanshi; she hadn't expected Su Wanshi to have made some preparations.

With no evidence left, she had no choice but to give up.

Su Wanshi had no choice but to abandon her plan to poison the food, because she knew Su Liluo wouldn't eat it.

That night, Su Lilu stayed overnight at the Su residence.

Su Wanshi and the others did not cause any more trouble.

Since Old Madam Su had not said that she was cured, Su Liluo did not take the initiative to suggest leaving.

On the third day, relatives from the Su family came to visit.

This relative was Su Li, the daughter of Old Madam Su who had already married into a wealthy family.

Su Li was originally married off to a fifth-rank official in Xuzhou, outside the capital, and rarely came to the capital.

Upon hearing that my mother was ill, I received a letter from Jiang Qinshu, who invited me to bring my good-for-nothing stepson along.

Jiang Qinshu said that as long as she came, she would definitely help her resolve a major concern.

Now that she has a son and a daughter, what major concerns could she possibly have?

It's nothing more than the legitimate son of the current husband's ex-wife. As long as he's alive, her own son can't fully inherit the family business.

With the mindset of not letting go of any opportunity, Su Li brought her children and her stepson over.

Only then did she learn that the Su family had arranged for Su Liluo to marry in place of the Crown Prince.

Seeing Su Liluo's arrogant attitude, and hearing about the things she did to hurt her family after getting married, as well as the fact that Old Madam Su said Su Liluo scalded her with medicinal soup this time.

Su Li disliked Su Liluo somewhat.

She adopted the air of an elder, raising her chin and saying, "Oh, Luo'er, you've become so impressive these days? Do you still recognize your aunt?"

"There are some I don't recognize."

Su Lilu smiled faintly.

Su Li was suddenly stunned, her jaw dropping. "You... what did you say?"

She was just being sarcastic, but what did Su Liluo mean by that?

Su Liluo raised an eyebrow and smiled, "My aunt wasn't exactly a beauty in the past, but she was slender and graceful. I never expected her to gain so much weight in the last few years."

Moreover, my aunt's eyes were cloudy, and her face was lined with wrinkles; she didn't even look as good as the old nanny beside her!

"You...you're being insolent! I'm your aunt, how dare you speak to me like that!"

Su Li couldn't help but shout angrily.

This Su Liluo actually mocked me for being ugly!

Although she is indeed old, she is definitely not uglier than the old nanny next to her!

That old woman is two years older than me!

Su's father, unable to stand it any longer, also scolded, "Is this how you talk to your aunt? Apologize to your aunt right now!"
