The only question was, "Were you really forced into a substitute marriage by the Su family?"
Su Liluo nodded.
But she explained, "Although I was forced into this, I have no complaints. His Highness the Crown Prince is upright, kind, and has great integrity. I have no regrets about marrying him and will take good care of him in the future."
Upon hearing this, the Empress was first surprised, but then she was moved.
"Good, good, you're a good boy!"
The Empress was naturally gratified and moved to see that someone did not despise her son.
She knew her health was poor and she might not last much longer. She hoped that after she passed away, there would be a woman who truly cared for Ye'er.

But after taking only a few steps, she heard a familiar shout.
"Luo'er! Why didn't you greet His Highness the Prince of Chu? And don't you know to call me your own father? Don't you recognize your sister?"
With a stern face, Su's father launched into a stern reprimand in the tone of an elder.
Su Wanshi, standing to the side, had a faint smile on her face.
