This made Chu Yuyan very unhappy. She was good-looking and young, and didn't even have a child. Logically speaking, men should prefer younger women.

She has the advantage of being young.

As for looks, there's really no point in comparing women and men.

She was good-looking, but not as dashing and free-spirited as Su Wujiu.

They are not as strong as him.

Does the prince actually like strong men?

She vaguely felt that she had misunderstood.

but……

I quickly put that thought back.

Chu Yuyan felt that her thoughts were somewhat rebellious, and if she said them out loud, she might not even be able to keep her own neck.

She looked at the former princess.

This once rightful regent's wife became the former queen for reasons unknown.

Now living in the Prince's mansion, he doesn't even have the right to live in the main courtyard; he seems to be in a worse situation than her.

Chu Yuyan perked up and looked at Su Jiaoniang sitting above: "Brother Su is right. No one else can decide who our prince likes. Brother Su, how did you fall in love with the prince? Can you tell me?"

"??" Are we already talking about brother and sister?

Su Jiaoniang's gaze fell on Chu Yuyan, whose face showed respect for her.

He showed absolutely no sign of wanting to rise to power.

"Who's your brother? Don't try to pull any strings!" Su Jiaoniang said, her gaze falling on the Princess Consort.

What brings you here?

"Cough cough!" Before she could speak, the former princess coughed violently, as if she were coughing up all her organs, looking like she was seriously ill.

"I don't know how to address you yet. I've heard from the outside world that your surname is Su, and that you've been at the Prince's Mansion for a shorter time than I have. May I call you Brother Su for now?"

The princess spoke, her voice soft and gentle, sounding weak.

But once the words were spoken, they surprisingly made people feel that they couldn't refuse.

This surprised Su Jiaoniang.

"Whatever!" After all, he was a man who was about to die. Su Jiaoniang, who was immersed in the experience of life in the inner palace, also wanted to know what he wanted to say.

"It's like this, this morning the steward said that all matters, big and small, in the manor must be decided by you, Brother Su. That's why I took the liberty of coming here uninvited. I hope you won't be angry, Brother Su!"

"..." Su Jiaoniang smiled, but was somewhat surprised that such a matter in the manor had been entrusted to her.

Shouldn't she do a Versailles-style act at this point and say that she doesn't really want this power to manage everything, but the princess insists on giving it to her?

I'm so angry!

After thinking about it, I realized that we should be kinder and not go too far!

She concealed the shock on her face and waited for the princess to continue.

She desperately wanted to know what this person was trying to say.

It's been a long and winding road of preparation.

Now it's time to get to the main point!

"Continue!" Su Jiaoniang said.

The princess took a deep breath, coughed a few times, and her face seemed even paler.

If Su Jiaoniang hadn't known that he wasn't suffering from tuberculosis, she wouldn't have had the patience!

"My days are numbered. In my final days, I want to relive the joys of my childhood. I have two younger sisters, and I would like to invite them to my residence to keep me company. Young Master Su may not know, but the Prince has sent Xiao Lingzhi to study at the Imperial Academy. At the Imperial Academy, there is only a break every two weeks. As I get older, I have fewer and fewer familiar people around me. At this time, I just want someone to accompany me!"

The former princess finally revealed her true intentions.

Su Jiaoniang understood.

This is a roundabout way of achieving one's goals.

The prince had no intention of marrying a step-princess and did not grant her request.

She made the decision on her own.

Why risk your own life?

It's much better to take care of your child yourself than to leave them with someone else, even if it's your own sister.

She's a young girl, it's not like she can't have children.

If in the future...

never mind!

There won't be any!

She actually started to think about the impossible consequences, following the former princess's train of thought!

Seriously, she's too quick to think of others. That won't do. She needs to think more about herself, because it's related to her future happiness.

Su Jiaoniang's gaze fell on the former princess.

A sense of pity arose within me. With his body in such a state, what use were all his schemes? He would only lose his life in vain.

“Okay!” Su Jiaoniang said.

The princess's face instantly lit up with joy.

Chu Yuyan, sitting next to him, looked shocked.

Staring at Su Jiaoniang, his mouth slightly open: "You actually agreed!"

"Yes, that was probably her dying wish. I'm not a bad person, so why would I disagree!"

Su Jiaoniang felt that she had made a lot of progress at this moment, and had mastered the innocent and teasing way of speaking.

Chu Yuyan stared at Su Jiaoniang, countless curses flashing through her mind.

She swallowed the last bit; this wasn't a place where she could indulge herself.

She is currently just a small, innocent person living here.

She pursed her lips and said, "Please be careful!"

Having said that, he had no intention of staying any longer and made up an excuse to leave.

With Su Jiaoniang's permission, the former princess did not stay there any longer.

In particular, this person had no scheming or backstabbing intentions whatsoever; it was as if she had come here to perform a grand opera for the people in front of her.

Thinking about it this way, I felt even more indignant.

This high and mighty position should have originally belonged to her.
