At this moment, Su Liluo had already changed into casual clothes and was watching this scene from a corner in the distance.

She memorized the location of the storeroom, and saw Jiang Qinshu stay inside for quite a long time before coming out with a bundle.

It must have contained something like banknotes.

She clicked her tongue twice, truly surprised that Jiang Qinshu could so easily produce one million taels of silver behind the backs of the Su family.

After Jiang Qinshu left, she picked the lock and slipped into the storeroom.

The warehouse wasn't as big as the Su family's, but it was packed full.

Furthermore, the walls are covered with numerous calligraphy and paintings by famous artists.

Su Liluo scanned the paintings and calligraphy hanging above, storing them all into her spatial storage, until she suddenly noticed a portrait of a man.

Stunned.

She noticed that the man's features in the portrait bore a striking resemblance to her own. Upon closer inspection, she saw a line of small characters below the portrait.

The eldest son of the Su family, he was unparalleled in both literary and martial arts.

The characters are elegant and powerful, with a grand and flowing style; they are clearly the work of a master.

However, next to such beautiful characters are two familiar, unsightly characters: Su Lang.

This is Jiang Qinshu's handwriting.

Su Liluo was shocked; this eldest son of the Su family must be her biological father.

Why would Jiang Qinshu want to tarnish such a fine portrait?

Write "Su Lang" in her filthy handwriting?

Could it be...?

Is Jiang Qinshu secretly in love with her own father?

Hmm...

The moment this thought came to mind, Su Liluo felt utterly disgusted; it was an utter insult to her own father.

So, suppressing her disgust, she tore off the two awkward characters "Su Lang" and threw them on the table.

I only saved my father's portrait to my social media account.

Later, when she reunited with her father, she recognized him.

Su Liluo opened the boxes in the warehouse one by one, and found that they contained either glittering gold, silver and banknotes, as well as some jewelry and ceramics.

She deftly stored all these items into her spatial storage, and after a rough estimate, she found that they totaled nearly ten million taels of silver.

It seems that Jiang Qinshu has been making a lot of money off the Su family over the past ten years or so!

Tsk tsk...

What another great harvest!

Finally, Su Lilu emptied the entire warehouse, leaving only the two characters 'Su Lang' written by Jiang Qin on the table.

Su Liluo still felt nauseous looking at Jiang Qinshu's handwriting, and couldn't help but write another line on the table with a pen:

Ugly person, delusional!

*

Since Xiao Churen lost face in front of Su Liluo last time, he returned home and threw a huge tantrum, but he didn't have the nerve to go looking for her again.

Even though he still confidently felt that Su Liluo was playing hard to get, he couldn't lower himself.

However, he did not give up the idea of ​​winning Su Liluo over to work for him.

Therefore, he set his sights on the Su family.

No matter how much trouble there is between Su Liluo and the Su family, she is still a daughter of the Su family. If the people of the Su family treat her better, could she win them over?

With that in mind, he decided to go and have a serious talk with the Su family.

Thus, for the first time, Xiao Churen used his connections to forcibly get Su Wanshi out of prison, and coerced and bribed Li Taoyuan to take the blame alone.

Li Taoyuan was sentenced to exile in Lingnan.

Xiao Churen personally went to the prison to bring Su Wanshi back to the Su residence.

The Su family felt heartbroken when they saw how haggard Su Wanshi looked.

Jiang Qinshu was the first to step forward and hug Su Wanshi, crying, "My poor Wanshi, you have really suffered. Thank you, Your Highness Prince Chu, for rescuing you."

Su Wanshi also choked up and cried, "Second Aunt, I'm so sorry to have troubled you all. How have you been these days? How are Father, Second Brother, and my younger brother?"

Su's father and Su Xuanlang watched with relief and emotion, thinking how wonderful their Wanshi was!

Despite having suffered so much, the first thing he did after getting out was to care about them!

Mr. Su nodded repeatedly: "We're relieved as long as you're out. You're such a sensible child!"

Unlike that wretched girl Su Liluo, who only causes trouble for her family.

Then, the Su family thanked Xiao Churen in unison and invited him to dine at their residence.

During the meal, Xiao Churen shared his thoughts with the Su family.

"Lord Su, actually, I have another matter to ask of you today, and I need your help with it."

Father Su quickly put down his chopsticks and said respectfully, "Your Highness, please speak freely. As long as it is within my power, I will do my utmost."

Xiao Churen was very satisfied with his attitude and said, "I need your help to win over Su Liluo. She has a good relationship with the Crown Prince now, and only by winning her over can I do certain things..."

He didn't explicitly state what he was going to say, but everyone understood the implication.

Now, the Su family has essentially accepted that Su Wanshi will eventually become the King of Chu's woman, and has long since sided with the King of Chu.

Therefore, he naturally agreed to Xiao Churen's request.

Only Su Wanshi felt somewhat wronged. Did Xiao Churen fail to seduce him?

He's so outstanding, how could he possibly make that idiot Su Liluo listen to him?

Now they have to fawn over Su Liluo?

Even though she had just been wronged because of Su Liluo, she still had to try to please her. The thought of this made Su Wanshi feel extremely uncomfortable.

But she also knew that this was the King of Chu's grand undertaking, so she could only endure the humiliation and bear the burden. She secretly thought that once the grand undertaking was accomplished, she would definitely take revenge on Su Liluo.

After Xiao Churen left, Su's father and the others sat together and discussed how to win over Su Liluo.

“We have indeed been too harsh on her in the past, which has caused her to harbor resentment for a long time. That’s why she’s now going against us in every way. I think the first thing we should do now is change our attitude toward her.”

Su's father expressed his thoughts.

Su Xuanlang nodded in strong agreement, “Father is right. After all, she is my own sister. His Highness the Crown Prince will die sooner or later. We should treat her well now so that she understands that her family is her most reliable support.”

Su's father smirked. What kind of younger sister was this? This wretched girl was not his flesh and blood!

However, not wanting more people to know about this, he still didn't tell Su Xuanlang and the others.

"Well, in that case, tomorrow Lang'er, you should take some gifts to the Crown Prince's residence. Wan Shi, you should go with her too, and apologize to the Crown Princess for what happened to Li Taoyuan that day."

Father Su then gave Su Wanshi another instruction.

Su Wanshi was initially unwilling, but seeing her father's serious face, she nodded in agreement.

Jiang Qinshu noticed Su Wanshi's distress, so he took her hand.

She gently comforted him, "When the King of Chu's great cause is accomplished, you will be the most honored woman. Just bear with it for now!"

Su Wanshi felt much better after that.

The next day.

Su Xuanlang selected several valuable items from his residence and took Su Wanshi with him to the Crown Prince's residence.

Originally, they thought it would be difficult to see Su Liluo again, and they had even come up with various ways to get Su Liluo to see them.

Unexpectedly, Su Liluo surprisingly agreed to let them in this time.
