"you......"
Su's father was shocked and furious that Su Liluo would insult him so directly.
He was stunned for a while before he realized what was happening and started cursing.
"I am your father! How dare you speak to your father like that? This is utterly disrespectful! You unfilial daughter, kneel down and apologize!"
"You want me to kneel? Are you sure?"
Su Liluo looked at her father with a mocking expression, as if she had heard a joke.
At this moment, Su's father was filled with anger. He said sternly, "Didn't you hear me tell you to kneel down and apologize?"
"Hahaha!"
Su Liluo suddenly put her hands on her hips and burst into laughter.
Su Wanshi, who was standing to the side, spoke up gently: "Sister, your second uncle is talking to you. How can you talk back to him like that? This is disobedience and unfilial piety!"
"Smack!"
A crisp slap rang out, and Su Wanshi's face quickly turned red.
"Sister, why...why did you hit me?"
Su Wanshi covered her cheeks, looking at Su Liluo with disbelief and resentment.
This bitch actually dared to hit me!
Su Liluo's gaze turned fierce.
She sneered, "I am the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace. How dare you, a mere sixth-rank official and a young lady without any rank, ridicule me and not even bow before me? Have I made a mistake?"
Now she is the Crown Princess, and regardless of whether the Crown Prince is favored or not, her status remains unchanged.
Su Wanshi felt deeply humiliated; she didn't know why Su Liluo had suddenly become so sharp-tongued.
They even learned to use their status to intimidate her!
But what she said actually made sense.
So, she could only sob with tears in her eyes, which made Xiao Churen feel very sorry for her.
Xiao Churen stepped forward, concealing the coldness in his eyes.
He said calmly, "Miss Su is, after all, the Crown Princess's sister, and Lord Su is your father. It's really inappropriate for the Crown Princess to be so fierce."
"Not quite appropriate? I'm afraid the Prince of Chu doesn't know yet, but I, the Crown Princess, have already been adopted out by the second branch of the Su family. Lord Su is no longer my father!"
She was not surprised that Xiao Churen was protecting Su Wanshi, because at this time her jade pendant had already been taken away by Su Wanshi.
They must have hooked up by now.
She didn't feel wronged by this; on the contrary, she felt disgusted by the King of Chu for being blind to her true love just because of a jade pendant, without considering his inner character.
“Even if you are adopted out, you are still my daughter! Blood ties cannot be severed. You insulted your father in public, which is disobedience and unfilial piety. Such behavior is unworthy of being the Crown Princess!”
As soon as Su Liluo finished speaking, her father continued.
Did she think that becoming the Crown Princess would elevate her status to a higher social standing?
She was just following a dying prince, yet she dared to humiliate herself and Wan Shi like this!
Just like his arrogant and conceited older brother, he's just as annoying!
"Since Lord Su feels she is unworthy to be the Crown Princess, then why did you send her to marry in her place?"
At this moment, Xiao Ye, who had been watching the show with a cold face, suddenly spoke up.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Su's father came to his senses and mumbled a cry.
Although he had already sided with the King of Chu and looked down on the Crown Prince, he still felt guilty when faced with such a question from the Crown Prince.
Su Wanshi only noticed Xiao Ye when she heard the sound. She only glanced at him, but a look of amazement still flashed in her eyes.
If the Crown Prince hadn't crippled his leg and been poisoned, and it wasn't rumored that he wouldn't live much longer, she would never have given him to Su Liluo.
"Your Highness, my sister didn't mean to steal my engagement. She hadn't received any marriage proposals for a long time because of the poisonous birthmark on her face, which is why she did this. Please forgive her, Your Highness, considering our past relationship!"
Su Wanshi stepped forward gently to explain.
Now that she's already married, she's not afraid of being threatened by Su Liluo.
That's why they dare to distort the truth so brazenly.
But to her surprise, Xiao Ye said with a hint of heartache, "Who said I was going to blame her? She only said a few reasonable points, and you all ganged up on her. That's really going too far."
"Wh...what?"
Su Wanshi's face froze, thinking she had misheard.
Xiao Ye was actually speaking up for Su Liluo?
In her memory, Xiao Ye was a cold, aloof, and resolute man who had never been able to gain anyone's protection.
But now he's actually speaking up for that bitch Su Liluo?
Even Su Liluo, who was standing next to him, glanced at him in surprise.
It feels so good to be protected like this!
Xiao Churen couldn't help but sneer, "Does His Highness the Crown Prince mean that the Crown Princess is heartless and beats her own sister?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye's gaze met Xiao Churen's.
A chilling killing intent seemed to burst forth from the sky.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled softly.
"Does being the Crown Princess's sister give you the right to disregard etiquette and not kneel before her? Is the Prince of Chu speaking up for them because he thinks I, the Crown Prince, am a figurehead and unworthy of respect?"
"That's not what I meant!"
Xiao Churen's expression changed, and he immediately denied it.
Although the crown prince is currently being neglected by the emperor, he has not been deposed.
If you admit to disrespecting him, it will inevitably give others ammunition against you.
Especially those pedantic officials in the imperial court, their spittle could drown a person.
"Since they didn't mean it that way, shouldn't Lord Su and the others apologize to the Crown Princess and admit their mistake?"
Xiao Ye followed up on the conversation.
Xiao Churen's face turned ashen; he was caught in a dilemma.
