61: You are Good-Looking Enough

NOVEMBER 4, 2021 ~ E THEE YOUTUBE BABE

When Concubine Shui and Concubine Nian received the news, they were both very surprised and did not reply directly to Cheng Tao.

When Cheng Tao informed Su Mo Li, Su Mo Li did not feel that it was strange. After all, it takes time to make a decision.

Su Mo Li got up and said slowly: "There is no hurry. Let's wait. By the way, how is Su Lin?"

Cheng Tao shook her head, her face was full of disgust: "Su Lin this person has been spoiled by the elders and has grown crooked.

Bullying maids and servants is one thing, but he also bullies the little girls of his relatives. At a young age, all he is proficient in is eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

Obviously only a seven-year-old child, but so domineering. I really do not understand."

"Things will turn around." Su Mo Li said indifferently, "There is nothing strange."

"Three days later, they will return." Cheng Tao continued.

Su Mo Li rubbed the rim of her cup. She was silent for a while and then said slowly, "I know."

"Miss, what do are you thinking?" Huang Fan asked suspiciously.

Su Mo Li smiled: "Just let nature take its course."

Cheng Tao and Huang Fan glanced at each other and both saw a puzzled look in each other's eyes.

This is not like their own lady ah!

Miss has always had a plan, when will she go with the flow?

Su Mo Li got up, patted the non-existent dust off her body, and walked out of the room. She looked at the maids in the courtyard and raised an eyebrow: "Zi Su, follow me out."

Zi Su in the corner raised her head. She blinked her eyes while holding the steamed bun and looked confused.

Seeing this, a few smiles appeared on Su Mo Li's face: "Eat while walking."

Zi Su answered and immediately followed. After finishing the steamed bun in three bites, she whispered, "Miss, where are we going?"

"To Mother's."

Zi Su felt it was a little strange and wondered why Miss would bring her along. After all, she used to take Cheng Tao and Huang Fan with her.

But she didn't think much about it too much and followed behind Su Mo Li.

Su Mo Li's arrival made Li Qianshi feel a little strange: "Let her in, I want to see what she wants."

After Su Mo Li came in, she gave a greeting towards Li Qianshi. In terms of etiquette, there was no fault to be found.

"What brings Li'er here today?"

Li Qianshi faintly looked at Su Mo Li with a smile on her face. Looking at Su Mo Li's features, her hand fiercely tightened. She had to say that Su Mo Li looked a little too good-looking.

Thinking about the what she was going to ask next, Li Qianshi immediately said: "What's the matter? Let Li'er be straightforward."

Su Mo Li smiled and slowly said, "It's nothing big, I'm just afraid that because of Lin'er's matter, Mother misunderstood me, so I came here to talk to Mother.

Lin'er is also coming back soon, in the end his age is small. How about when Miss Shi teaches Xuan'er, let Lin'er listen next to her? If there is anything he doesn't understand, he can ask Xuan'er, what does Mother think?"

Li Qianshi smiled: "In this matter, your father has his own plans. Yesterday your father also said that he will have a good talk with Miss Shi. Since you don't want to, we can't force you, right?

After all, Lin'er is not your own brother, you not being willing to help him is also normal."

After speaking, Li Qianshi picked up the tea cup next to her, "Speaking more is useless, Li'er can leave first."

"Ai … " sniffed, Su Mo Li heaved a sigh, "It seems that Mother still does not forgive me, not to mention the others, just speaking of Xuan'er. Mother is not afraid of dragging Xuan'er down, so that she can not be Miss Shi's disciple?"

Li Qianshi frowned: "What is Li'er saying? What do you mean that by teaching Lin'er it will drag down Xuan'er? Besides, we just want you to mention it to Miss Shi, we didn't say that Miss Shi must teach Lin'er?

Just give Lin'er a chance, yet Li'er is not even willing. In that case, I do not want to say more, Li'er should go back."

Su Mo Li lifted her eyes, her face was full of aggravation and tears appeared and disappeared in her eyes, but it was more than enough to make people's hearts feel compassionate.

"Mother, just because I am not your own daughter, so you dislike me like this? And your statement that Lin'er is not my real brother, how can he not be my real brother? He has the same father as me! Yes, I know, Mother has never treated me as her own daughter, right?

Fine, fine, I understand … " said Su Mo Li, then stood up and was just about to leave when she heard an unfamiliar voice.

"What's going on here? Did County Princess Su Rou and Madam Su quarrel?"

As a woman walked in, Li Qianshi's face changed imperceptibly. She glanced at the maid next to her and gave her a fierce glare.

The little maid shrank her neck, her face full of aggravation.

Su Mo Li's eyes darkened, but she turned around without moving. When she saw the woman's face, she quickly wiped away her tears: "Madam Qian."

"County Princess Su Rou." Madam Qian bowed her body.

"Madam Qian is very polite."

County Princess Su Rou said in a soft voice and helped Madam Qian up.

Madam Qian's husband was the imperial historian, and she came today to give Su Jia Xuan a visit.

Li Qianshi smiled and asked someone to bring tea and pour water, then said: "Doesn't Li'er have the habit of taking a nap? It should be the right time."

"I'm not sleepy today, I would like to talk to Mother, so that she doesn't misunderstand me. It's really my heart for my Third Sister, you can't ruin her future for the sake of Brother!"

Su Mo Li's words just finished when Li Qianshi immediately chided: "Li'er, what are you talking about? Xuan'er is my child, I will not harm her!"

Su Mo Li pretended to shrink her neck in fear. Her eyes filled with tears and she was about to speak, but she coughed violently.

Zi Su hurriedly handed water to Su Mo Li: "Miss, you moisten your throat."

Su Mo Li took it. Her face was a little pale, her hand covered her chest, and she seemed to be very uncomfortable.

Madam Qian hurriedly said: "County Princess Su Rou, are you okay? Madam Su, why are you still sitting still? Hurry up and find a doctor! If something happens to Princess Su Rou, how can you explain to Lord Su?"

"Thank you, Madam Qian, I'm fine." Su Mo Li hoarsely said while leaning on Zi Su, "Mother is so worried that she has already gotten used to it, not that she doesn't care about me."

Madam Qian frowned and glanced at Li Qianshi's expression.

Li Qianshi also just reacted, which barely showed a worried look, but it was also a little too deliberate.

In fact, it is not fair to blame Li Qianshi for not reacting, it is really that Su Mo Li coughed too sudden.

But after all, having lived a long life, Li Qianshi soon reacted and personally poured a cup of tea for Su Mo Li: "Li'er is not well, go back to rest first. Whatever is the matter, wait until you are better."

Su Mo Li grabbed Li Qianshi's wrist with her backhand, and her little face was full of expectation: "Mother, promise me that you won't let Xuan'er pave the way for Lin'er, okay? Xuan'er is also your own daughter ah! Since Miss Shi has already chosen Xuan'er, let Xuan'er learn painting properly, isn't that good?"

"County Princess Su Rou, what do you mean by that?" Madame Qian was a bit puzzled and looked at Su Mo Li.

Su Mo Li seemed to have thought of something and immediately said, "Madam Qian, please help me persuade Mother. Mother wants Miss Shi to give up taking Third Sister as her apprentice and become Younger Brother's Master instead."

"What?" Madam Qian looked up sharply, her face full of suspicion, "Madam Su, was this the original idea you had?"

Li Qianshi hurriedly said, "Madam Qian, you should not listen to Li'er's nonsense, how could I do that? Xuan'er is also my child!"

Su Mo Li tears fell and choked up and said, "Although Third Sister is your own daughter, however when Third Sister is sick, you were with Second Sister. When Third Sister wants to learn something, you always say there is no silver, but then turn to buy good things for the Second Sister. Now that Third Sister has earned her own future, you also want to take it away and give it to Younger Brother?

Even I can't stand to see it Mother! You can't do this!"

Madam Qian said coldly, "The heart of the hand is flesh, Madam Su, aren't you going too far?

No wonder you agreed so quickly, so this is your idea, huh, aren't you too much? Our Qian family is not as good as your Su family, but it's not for you to bully us like this!

The reason we want to settle for the Third Young Lady is just because she is Miss Shi's disciple. Without this status, why do we need to settle for the Third Young Lady, she is only eight years old! We might as well settle for a girl similar in age to Yu'er's. Wouldn't it be better to have grandchildren sooner?"

Li Qianshi's face was embarrassed and she quickly said with a smile, "I won't do that, if it's Xuan's I won't give it to Lin'er!"

"Let's talk about this matter later. I still have something to do so I'll leave first. " Madam Qian said expressionlessly. She then turned around and left.

Li Qianshi hurriedly sent Madam Qian out, and Su Mo Li naturally followed her.

After Madam Qian left, the smile on Li Qianshi's face disappeared and she took a deep look at Su Mo Li, holding back her anger and said, "Are you happy that you have spoiled your sister's marriage?"

Su Mo Li lowered her eyes and her eyelashes trembled as she slowly said: "Mother what are you talking about? The first son of the Qian family, Qian Yu, is already fifteen years old but he is uneducated and unskilled. He is only a master of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. Is Mother betrothing Third Sister or pushing Third Sister into the fire?

Also, this matter, does Father know?"

Li Qianshi's heart sank, coldly said: "Qian Yu just has not set his temperament, after the marriage, it will naturally be good."

"Is that so? Then you know that Qian Yu already has more than a dozen concubines?"

Su Mo Li swept a glance at Li Qianshi- the cold eyes made Li Qianshi shiver.

Such a look, there was no emotion, no ripple. It was like looking at a dead person.

"You … "

"Mother be careful." Su Mo Li held Li Qianshi.

Li Qianshi was in a trance, as if she had just seen that look with her own eyes.

"Mother, Li'er will first take leave."

With that, Su Mo Li took Zi Su and left, going directly to the back garden.

"Zi Su, would you like to do me a favor?"

Zi Su hurriedly knelt down: "Miss, just give me an order!"

"If this matter is done, I will set you free."

Zi Su's eyes lit up: "Miss … "

"I know your wish is to open a small store and live a peaceful life, and you can rest assured that after this matter is done, I will fulfill your wish."

After indicating for Zi Su to get up, she whispered a few words in her ear. After listening, Zi Su looked at Su Mo Li in doubt: "Miss, will Shizi Qian believe me?"

"Naturally he will." Su Mo Li laughed out lightly, "Because you are good looking enough."

62: Paying the Price

After pondering for a while, Zi Su slowly said, "But Miss, how can you make sure that on that day, Second Miss will go to Putuo Temple?"

"Leave this matter to me, you just need to do as I say." The smile on Su Mo Li's face deepened a few points. She stopped Zi Su who still wanted to speak, "Now, you go over first."

Zi Su followed Su Mo Li's eyes and looked over to the gate.

"If asked, you can say you are waiting for Huang Fan and Cheng Tao."

Zi Su nodded and walked towards the gate.

The two maids were standing next to each other. Su Mo Li smiled gently and asked: "Do you have something to do?"

The two maids hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Your Highness, the maids have a difficult matter … "

Su Mo Li smiled and nodded: "You guys say, let's see if I know."

"The Fourth Young Master is coming back. The Madam told the servant girls that the Fourth Young Master is allergic to peanuts and asked the servant girls not to prepare peanut food, but the Fourth Young Master's personal servant sent a message over, saying he wanted to eat peanut noodles."

After the two little maids finished, their faces were full of aggression, they didn't dare to offend the fourth young master, but they couldn't really make peanut noodles for the fourth young master to eat!

After all, allergies are life-threatening!

"Why don't you just go to Madam and tell her about it?" Su Mo Li thought it was a bit strange.

The two maids were instantly red-eyed.

Su Mo Li raised her eyebrows: "What's wrong?"

"Your Highness, you do not know but the servant girls have already reported to the Madam, but the Madam directly told the servant girls to do as she said.

But with Fourth Young Master's nature, the servant girls have heard some… servant girls really do not dare to disobey the Fourth Young Master's orders. If the Fourth Young Master blames, then the servant girls will definitely be punished."

Su Mo Li lightly laughed and slowly said: "I know, I will handle this matter."

"This … County Princess, we don't have to do anything?" The two maids couldn't help but ask.

Su Mo Li smiled: "If you guys don't believe me, I can't help it. It's the same on both sides, why don't you believe?"

The two maids looked at each other, their faces showed hesitation, but finally they bowed: "Thank you, County Princess."

After Su Mo Li left, the two maids couldn't help but murmur, "The County Princess is so nice!"

"Yes, in this Su Mansion, except for the Old Madam, it is the County Princess who is nice. I heard that the former Princess was also a good person!"

"I also heard that, it's just a pity … "

"Yes, if the Princess was still around, where could she be allowed to dictate here."

"What are you guys talking about?" A round-faced little girl came over and said with a smile, "Come on, it's time to do work. By the way, I heard that a new boy was brought in and he's extraordinarily handsome. Do you know what kind of person he is?"

"I'll ask my aunt, she works in the kitchen and knows more gossip than we do."

The three maids left as they spoke.

After Su Mo Li returned to Cui Zhu Yuan, she began to wait for news.

It did not take long to get the news, but Zhong Li Shi came.

The sudden appearance of Zhong Li Shi made Su Mo Li's heart jump. She quickly stood up. After glancing around, she quickly closed the doors and windows; "His Highness the Crown Prince has changed his profession to be a gentleman on the roof?"

Zhong Li Shi curved his lips, "Father has sent someone over to investigate the cause of the death of Eldest Princess Huimin."

"Oh." Su Mo Li faintly responded. It seems that the Emperor nowadays still has a bit of humanity. It is natural to take action after receiving such a big gift from herself.

"Su Chen has found out." Zhong Li Shi continued, "The things in the house can't be hidden from Su Chen."

Su Mo Li smiled; "I know, what is the name of the person sent by the Emperor?"

"Chen Ran, working as a Buyer."

"To be a good job, if you can be a worker, it is easy to infiltrate."

Su Mo Li was silent for a moment; "For other things, Your Highness the Crown Prince does not have to interfere, I will handle the things in the Su Mansion.

If Your Highness the Crown Prince is okay, please leave first."

Su Mo Li directly gave the expulsion order.

Zhong Li Shi poured himself a cup of tea and said after taking a sip, "The fourth son of Su is not coming back."

"Why?" Su Mo Li thought it was a bit strange.

"He was attacked by robbers, kidnapped and robbed of his money."

Zhong Li Shi's words made Su Mo Li raise an eyebrow.

"The only thing I did was to stand by and watch.

Goodbye."

Zhong Li Shi was just about to leave, then stopped and looked back at Su Mo Li: "If Country Princess Su Rou wants to go to the rescue, they're at the eastern hill of Nan Ping Mountain."

Looking at Zhong Li Shi's back, Su Mo Li was silent for a quarter of an hour before putting down her tea cup.

"Miss?"

Huang Tao knocked on the door and walked in: "Miss, Zi Su is back."

"Hmm." Su Mo Li looked up, "How was it?"

Zi Su bowed her body and slowly said, "Miss, this slave servant did see Sir Qian send Second Miss back. Also as you said Miss, this slave walked in front of Sir Qian. Sir. Qian's eyes stayed on this slave servant for a while, then this slave servant waited for Sister Huang Tao and came back together."

"Well done." Su Mo Li said with a smile, "Just follow the plan."

"Yes."

Only after Zi Su left did Huang Tao ask in confusion; "Miss, didn't Second Miss go out with the Second Prince? How come it was Sir Qian Yu who sent it back?"

"Qian Yu likes good-looking women, the Second Prince is not a considerate person, but Su Xin Zhen is a person who comes and goes. It's therefore not impossible for Qian Yu to send Su Xin Zhen back, in fact, there is a great probability.

I let Zi Su dangle in front of Qian Yu, this is to let Qian Yu remember in his heart."

"But Miss, what do you want Zi Su to do?"

Huang Tao looked at Su Mo Li in confusion, slightly puzzled.

Su Mo Li picked up the fruit on the side and said while eating, "Nothing, I am just pushing Su Xin Zhen."

"Miss?"

"Well, you guys go down first."

Su Mo Li waved her hand and said indifferently.

Meanwhile, in Meihua Garden, Su Jia Xuan froze after knowing this matter; "Dong Xue, did Madam Qian leave very angry? Do you know what happened inside?"

"It's because of Eldest Miss." Dong Xue said with a frown, "I also do not know why the Eldest Miss went to ruin your marriage, Miss. I heard that the Qian family's son is very talented and is very compatible with Miss ah! Although it is said that the age is a little older, but the age will be loving ah!"

"Huh." Su Jia Xuan sneered, "Big Sister is not destroying my marriage, she is dragging me out of the fire pit!"

"Huh?" Dong Xue was a little confused.

Su Jia Xuan did not answer Dong Xue but frowned. Her mind went back to the last life, when she also thought Qian Yu was a good man and waited with joy to marry her, but she never thought that he would be snatched away by her second sister!

But that Qian Yu also wanted both sisters! When she married, Su Xin Xuan had the means to be favored, but she suffered a lot of aggravation, demoted from the official wife and became a concubine!

When the second sister became Qian Yu's wife, she came back to her parents to cry, but her mother told her to forgive the second sister. After all, she was her real sister and the second sister would take care of her.

Dear sister?

Dear sisters who would watch her being bullied!

Only her eldest sister took her to the Qian family to reason with them, only to be mocked by the Qian family!

Taking a deep breath, Su Jia Xuan came out from her memories and went straight to Cui Zhu Yuan.

Once inside, Su Jia Xuan jumped into Su Mo Li's arms and cried in a small voice.

"It's okay, it's all in the past … " Su Mo Li touched Su Jia Xuan's head and said with a smile.

"Big Sister used to protect me, and now she is also still so protective of me." Su Jia Xuan said with a crying voice. She raised her head and her red eyes were full of gratitude.

In fact, Su M Li though it was strange at first, but when she heard Su Jia Xuan finish speaking, she understood.

Her past life was different from Su Jia Xuan's past life.

In Su Jia Xuan's previous life, she couldn't do anything by herself, but she lived a good life, became the Second Prince's side concubine, was repudiated by the Second Prince, and became an abandoned woman.

Then later fell ill and died.

It was said to be an illness that caused her death, but in fact she was poisoned, and the murderer was naturally the relative she was fighting for.

But in her previous life, she died at the age of five, and then crossed over to the world of immortal cultivation and came back.

Is it possible that she may have missed some memories?

Su Mo Li's hand tapped on the table unconsciously as she was caught up in her own thoughts. So much so that she didn't hear Su Jia Xuan when she called out several times.

"Sister!" Su Jia Xuan directly held her hands and pulled Su Mo Li's sleeve. Su Mo Li smiled softly and looked at Su Jia Xuan, "Feeling better in your heart?"

Su Jia Xuan nodded, thought about it, and came to Su Mo Li's side to whisper; "Sister, don't be afraid, Su Lin is not coming back."

A hint of uncertainty crossed Su Mo Li's eyes, "Is that what happened in the previous life?"

"Yes." Su Jia Xuan small face appeared serious, "Someone kidnapped Brother and wanted a lot of silver, but Mother did not have so much silver in her hands. When selling your real mother's dowry, she found that things were missing.

"When Mother went to check, she learned that all these things were sold by Second Sister. There was no choice but to find someone to borrow from first. However, Father and Mother used too much time so that they missed the deadline.

However, Second Sister also knew that she had made a mistake so she sold her gold and silver jewelry, and Father and Mother did not blame her.

This time … "

Su Jia Xuan took a deep breath; "This time Sister has collected her dowry back. Will they use Sister's dowry to save brother?"

"Are you willing to let Su Lin come back?"

Su Jia Xuan face twisted and twisted again; "I do not like him. When Mother hugged me a little, but he smashed my head with a stone … "

Speaking of this, Su Jia Xuan grimaced.

Su Mo Li's eyes, however, lit up: "This Su Lin is a bit interesting.

If you want to save him, it's not impossible."

Su Jia Xuan some doubts. Su Mo Li has an idea but she rubbed Su Jia Xuan's head: "Well, it's getting late, go back early."

"Sister, do you want to save Su Lin?" Su Jia Xuan tugged Su Mo Li's hand. Her face was full of incomprehension.

Su Mo Li answered with a smile on her face but her eyes were icy cold. Such Su Mo Li made Su Jia Xuan feel that she was very unfamiliar. The pressure that came from her face made her heart tremble.

"He bullied you so we have to pay him back. Good girl, we have to make the ones who owe us pay the price, right?"

63: Save the Lady

NOVEMBER 6, 2021 ~ E THEE YOUTUBE BABE

Su Mo Li stroked Su Jia Xuan's head: "Okay, you don't care about that at this young age.

Go back, this Qian family, I will not let you marry over."

Su Jia Xuan looked at Su Mo Li's face with a smile. She seemed to have decided something and nodded vigorously and left Cui Zhu Yuan.

"Miss, where are we going?" Dong Xue looked at Su Jia Xuan with confusion, "This is not the way back."

"Well, to find Concubine Shui and Concubine Nian." Su Jia Xuan's eyelashes trembled, and she said each word slowly.

Dong Xue hesitated for a moment and slowly said, "Miss, Madam doesn't like you to go to the two concubines, so if you go there now, won't you make Madam angry? When the time comes, you will make her dislike you again."

"Huh." Su Jia Xuan sneered, "No matter what I do, my mother won't like me. In her heart, my brother and sister are first, as for me, I will always be in the back."

Dong Xue sighed and wanted to comfort Su Jia Xuan with a few words, but she could not say anything.

Su Jia Xuan glanced at Dong Xue, looking a little better she whispered: "Dong Xue, I know you are thinking for my own good, but there are some things that I have to fight for myself or I will be sold without knowing it.

What I'm going to do next, you just watch, you don't need to do too much."

Dong Xue looked at Su Jia Xuan in doubt, but after she waited until they arrived at the two concubines' courtyard and heard Su Jia Xuan's words, Dong Xue was shocked.

Concubine Nian and Concubine Shui did not expect Su Jia Xuan to make such a request.

"Third Miss, you mean for us to tell the truth about the death of the Eldest Princess back then?" Concubine Shui did not move and exchanged a look with Concubine Nian. Then she said looking at Su Jia Xuan with a pleasing smile on her face, "Third Miss, how come we can't understand what you are saying? The Eldest Princess died of a disease!"

Concubine Nian also hurriedly nodded: "Yes, Third Miss, did you misunderstand something? The Eldest Princess died of a disease."

Dong Xue wanted to say something, but when she thought of what Su Jia Xuan had just said to her, she chose to shut up. No matter what, she would be on Su Jia Xuan's side.

After all, if Su Jia Xuan hadn't asked her to be by her side back then, she would have been killed by the people with a background in the house.

Su Jia Xuan put down her teacup and looked up. The look on her face was a deep sober expression that did not match her age.

Concubine Shui and Concubine Nian both swallowed their saliva and looked at Su Jia Xuan nervously.

"Concubine Shui, Concubine Nian, if you tell me the truth properly and give me the evidence in your hands, I will continue to conceal it for you. Otherwise, I don't mind telling my father some things.

The matter of Concubine Shui and the stable boy, do I need to say it directly?

The matter of Concubine Nian selling the furnishings sent from the house to help her mother's family, do I need to show evidence, huh? Concubine Nian was bought back by my father and has nothing to do with her mother's family anymore, yet what you did, if my father knew about it, do you think my father would not mind?"

Concubine Shui and Concubine Nian's faces changed in an instant.

They looked at Su Jia Xuan incredulously, "How did you know?"

Su Jia Xuan looked at Concubine Shui and Concubine Nian with a smile, "What is there that I don't know? I also know that you all joined forces long ago in order to deal with my mother.

You also tried to sneak out of the house, but you failed several times. As long as you help me find out the real cause of death of the Eldest Princess, I will help you get out of the house, how about that?"

Su Jia Xuan's words made Concubine Nian and Concubine Shui think deeply. Su Jia Xuan was not in a hurry and waited for them calmly.

Half an hour later, Concubine Shui opened her mouth: "Third Miss, what exactly do you want? Since you know so much, you must also know that the Eldest Princess' death has nothing to do with the Madam. In that case, what are you trying to do by finding out all this?"

"I want to help Big Sister." Su Jia Xuan also did not hide, "Big Sister wants to investigate the cause of death, I naturally want to help her."

Concubine Shui was even more confused, "But, Third Miss, Second Miss is your real sister ah … "

Su Jia Xuan didn't say anything and just looked at Concubine Shui.

Concubine Shui still wanted to ask, but was stopped by Concubine Nian: "We do have some evidence in our hands, but we can't be convicted."

Saying that, Concubine Nian stood up, walked inside the room, and soon, handed Su Jia Xuan a package: "This is the blood-stained clothes I put away when the Eldest Princess was hemorrhaging, the blood on it should still be able to be checked as to what poison is in it.

Just these years I dare not take out to let the doctor to check, so it has been placed in the house."

Su Jia Xuan opened it and took a look, then closed it up. She nodded, then looked at Concubine Shui who bit her lips and stomped her foot: "Okay, in that case, I won't hide it."

Saying that, Concubine Shui also took something out: "This is a letter that I inadvertently got, inside the letter is the content of the correspondence between Madam and the doctor."

Su Jia Xuan took it over. The letter paper was already yellowed and looking at the contents here, Su Jia Xuan's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"So, Mother was deliberately giving the Eldest Princess good food and drink, just to raise the child in the Eldest Princess' belly?"

Concubine Shui looked at Su Jia Xuan with difficulty: "Normally, you are so small, I should not tell you this, but since you have asked, then I will say it. It is indeed like this, your mother was a supporting concubine. To be honest, at first she had the best relationship with the Eldest Princess, no one ever thought that she would harm the Eldest Princess.

If we hadn't found out inadvertently, we wouldn't have believed it was her.

But Third Miss, she is after all your own mother, you … "

"You guys just pretend that you don't know these things, I'll do the rest." Saying that, Su Jia Xuan then took her things and walked out.

Su Jia Xuan's move was noticed by all three parties.

One of them was Chan Ran, the Emperor's person.

The second is Li Qianshi's people, but the people on this side didn't feel anything was wrong, so they didn't report it.

After all, the Second Young Lady also comes to the concubine's residence from time to time, just to see the things in the hands of the concubine.

The Third Young Lady came out with a package in her hand and apparently took a lot of things from the concubines.

This third party is Su Mo Li's people. The people on this side inquired about what Su Jia Xuan and the two concubines said and quickly informed Su Mo Li. It was to quickly wrap up the matter and suppress it.

After Su Mo Li got the news, her brow was furrowed and she slowly said, "It's not safe to leave things in that girl's hands, Huang Fan, you bring the things out this evening."

Huang Fan answered yes.

Su Mo Li said again, "No, send the clothes with blood to Chan Ran. Make sure it's make it concealed and don't let him suspect."

"Yes, Miss."

Huang Fan quickly followed the order.

Su Mo Li picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, looking out the window. No one knew what she was thinking about.

"Miss, don't be anxious, things can always be solved, after all, paper can't cover fire." Cheng Tao whispered comfortingly.

"After so many years, there should be a result." Su Mo Li hooked the corner of her lips, and suddenly, coughed violently.

"Miss!" Cheng Tao immediately walked over and patted Su Mo Li's back. Her face was full of anxiety and she hastily took out a pill and handed it to Su Mo Li.

After Su Mo Li ate it, she took a deep breath. Her face was miserably white and she closed her eyes tightly, trying hard to make her heart beat slower.

"Miss, how are you?" Cheng Tao asked nervously.

Su Mo Li shook her head. Opening her eyes, she took her pulse, then wrote down a prescription: "Go get the medicine."

"Miss, can't the poison in your body be completely cleared?"

"Can't." Su Mo Li said indifferently, "The toxins accumulated in five years will take me fifty years to clear."

"They are simply not human!" Cheng Tao couldn't help but rebuke angrily.

Su Mo Li laughed and looked at Cheng Tao and said, "All right, it's all in the past, I'm going to rest for a while. If nothing happens, don't look for me."

Two days later in the evening, Su Mo Li came to the East Palace and found Crown Prince Zhong Li Shi.

After sitting down, Su Mo Li's face was a little white. Her brow was furrowed and she could feel her heart beating fast.

Zhong Li Shi sensed that Su Mo Li was not right. He quickly came over and took her pulse, with a shocked and heavy face: "The poison in your body, how come there is so much?"

Su Mo Li did not reply. She accepted the warm water, however, her hands had no strength.

"I'll feed you." Zhong Li Shi said indifferently.

After drinking the water, Su Mo Li felt that her whole body had no energy and pursed her lips: "I don't have any medicine with me."

"What medicine do you need?" Zhong Li Shi took out his own medicine.

Su Mo Li smelled it and selected two pills and ate them.

Only after half an hour had passed did her face improve.

"You know the art of medicine?" Zhong Li Shi looked at Su Mo Li unexpectedly.

Su Mo Li raised her head, met Zhong Li Shi's eyes and hooked her lips, "I know everything."

"Tsk." Zhong Li Shi sat down, "Then you should instead detoxify the poison in your own body."

Su Mo Li picked up the snacks on the side and said while eating, "In another fifty years, it should all be solved."

Zhong Li Shi looked at Su Mo Li in confusion, while Su Mo Li directly changed the topic: "The day after tomorrow, you think of a way to let the Second Prince go to Putuo Temple."

"Okay."

Zhong Li Shi directly answered, and did not ask the reason.

Su Mo Li nodded, finished the snack and stood up. However, there was a blackness in front of her eyes, and she could not easily stand. The expression on her face was getting colder and colder: "I was still careless."

Zhong Li Shi looked at Su Mo Li's appearance and slowly said, "I'll send you back."

Su Mo Li did not refuse and when she returned to Cui Zhu Yuan, her face was already as white as paper.

"Miss!" Cheng Tao and Huang Fan both quickly greeted her, their faces full of worry.

After picking up Su Mo Li, they looked at Zhong Li Shi warily.

Zhong Li Shi did not say anything, just nodded at Su Mo Li and left.

After Su Mo Li took the medicine, she looked at the two people: "You two be careful, check out Cui Zhu Yuan, I suspect that someone put mango juice in Cui Zhu Yuan."

"What?" Huang Fan was shocked, "Miss just smell the smell of mango will trigger the poison."

"No wonder Miss has been taking her medicine much more frequently these two days." Cheng Tao's face was full of gloom, "Miss don't worry, we will investigate properly."

Su Mo Li nodded, leaned back in her chair and rested for a while, "Have someone go protect Su Jia Xuan, that girl, I'm afraid that she has already alerted the snake."

"Yes, Miss."

The next day, Su Mo Li looked a few degrees better and came to Old Madam Su's room.

"Nan Nan has come?" Old Madam Su was extraordinarily happy and said with a smile, "Is there something wrong?"

With a gentle smile on her face, Su Mo Li slowly said, "Grandma, I want to go to Putuo Temple to pay my respects."

"Eldest Young Miss and Old Madam have thought of the same thing." Momo Ke said with a smile at the side, "The Old Madam also wants to go to Putuo Temple!"

Su Mo Li revealed a longing look, "Grandma, can I go?"

"Naturally, you can." Old Madam Su said with a smile.

"Then, I'll bring my two sisters with me." Su Mo Li whispered, "The two sisters haven't gone out for a long time either."

Old Madam Su looked at Su Mo Li. She knew that this girl was afraid that someone would say she as a grandmother was biased and was thinking of her!

The Old Madam slowly said, "Nan Nan, don't worry, with Grandmother in the house, no one will bully you, you can do whatever you want, Grandmother is here!"

As soon as Old Madam Su's voice fell, she saw Cheng Tao kneel down, her tone full of desolation: "Old Madam! Please, save our Eldest Miss!"

"Cheng Tao, what are you doing?" Su Mo Li quickly got up, directly squatted down and covered Cheng Tao's mouth, then glared at her, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Cheng Tao's tears flowed down her eyes.

Su Mo Li couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Really a good seedling for acting ah!

Cheng Tao was secretly touching her thighs, the pinch is so painful!

"Grandmother, you do not listen to Cheng Tao's nonsense, I am fine!" Saying that, Su Mo Li stood up, hiding Cheng Tao behind her.

Cheng Tao's face was full of helplessness.

Momo Ke took in the look on Cheng Tao's face, glanced at Old Madam Su, saw her nod, and went over: "Cheng Tao, you come out with me."

"Good, you go to inform your two sisters." Old Madam Su complied with Su Mo Li's mind and did not mention the matter of Cheng Tao.

Su Mo Li breathed a sigh of relief, while her expression was captured fully in Old Madam Su's eyes.

"Yes, Grandmother, I'll go there now."

After seeing Su Mo Li leave, Momo Ke came in and retold what she got from Cheng Tao.

"Old Madam, everyone in the Mansion knows about Eldest Miss' mango allergy, how … is this not trying to kill Eldest Miss? Fortunately, Eldest Miss is surrounded by medicine, if this is … "

Momo Ke shook her head, not knowing what to say.

"That one's mind, don't you understand?" Old Madam Su coldly snorted. "I want to see who's brave enough to take my granddaughters life."

Momo Ke answered, turned and left.

Su Mo Li took Cheng Tao towards Mudan Yuan.

"Miss, Old Madam is also really good to you, why don't you try to tell Old Madam your thoughts directly?" Cheng Tao couldn't help but inquire.

Su Mo Li shook her head: "Grandmother is indeed very good to me, but, in Grandmother's mind, the most important thing is Su Chen, the Su family, and not me.

If I were compared to the Su family, Grandmother would choose the Su family.

So, you think, if I tell Grandmother that my mother was killed by her son and daughter-in-law, she will help me? No, she won't, she'll just advise me to forget it.

So, I have to act this out, at least, the matter of the mango, Grandmother will not care."

Su Mo Li's words made Cheng Tao's heart full of helplessness: "Miss, how tired you should be from living like this."

"Everything will be fine after we find out what happened to my mother."

Su Mo Li smiled towards Cheng Tao and the two of them walked towards Mudan Yuan.

"What are you doing here?" After Su Xin Zhen saw Su Mo Li, her eyes had a mocking look in them, "You are not welcome here."

Su Mo Li had some aggravation on her face, but still said softly, "Second Sister, Grandmother is going to Putuo Temple tomorrow, and asked me to come and tell you that we will go there together tomorrow."

Su Xin Zhen frowned and stared at Su Mo Li for half a second before her sharp voice rang out, "Are you here to show off? To show off that Grandmother is taking you to Putuo Temple?"

Su Mo Li seemed to be shocked and took two steps back, looking at Su Xin Zhen incredulously, "Second Sister, Grandmother is talking about taking us all over together, you, what are you doing?"

"What take us there? If she really wanted to take me over, she should have asked me to come over and tell me, or asked Momo Ke to come over and inform me, who are you? Grandma asked you to come over, just to back you up, to let me know that it was because of you that she brought me and Third Sister.

Do you think I'm willing to go over? Oh, I'm telling you, I don't want your handouts!

Chun fen! Send the guests away!

Su Xin Zhen finished speaking, turned around and left.

Su Mo Li squeezed her handkerchief tightly, and there were tears in her eyes.

Seeing this, the maids on the side had the heart to tolerate and whispered, "Eldest Miss, today Second Miss is not in a good mood, you'd better go back first, or, you'd better let Old Madam send someone over."

"Don't let yourself suffer Eldest Miss."

"Yes, Eldest Miss, don't be sad, you know Second Miss's nature, wait for a while and you'll be fine."

"Thank you guys, I'm fine." Su Mo Li said with a smile. Just that everyone could see the tears in her eyes.

Seeing this, several maids took pity on Su Mo Li even more.

Looking at Su Mo Li's back, several maids still wanted to say something, when Su Xin Zhen's voice came from inside: "What are you doing? Pity Su Mo Li? Then go serve her!"

"This slave servant does not dare!"

Several maids quickly kneeled down, trembling in fear.

Chun Fen glared at several people: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Several people hurriedly fell to the ground, not daring to let out a breath.

Chun Fen hurriedly walked in and whispered comfortingly: "Second Miss, why do you have to talk to them in a normal way? It is said that things are gathered by category, the temperament of Eldest Miss can only attract these lowly maids… these maids are all lowly-eyed, what can they achieve?"

At these words, the look on Su Xin Zhen's face got a few moments better.

Seeing this, Chun Fen continued: "But talking about Putuo Temple, I heard that the Crown Prince is going to hold a tea party in Putuo Temple. If the Second Prince will also go there then, are you really not going, Miss?"

"The Second Prince?" Su Xin Zhen's eyes lit up and a pleased look appeared on her face, "Why didn't you say so earlier? I'm going to tell my grandmother that I'm also going to Putuo Temple."

Saying that, Su Xin Zhen then carried her skirt and quickly ran out.

Looking at Su Xin Zhen's back, a smug smile appeared on Chun Fen's face, but it quickly disappeared as she quickly walked out and waited in the corner of the back garden. When she saw the visitor, a gentle smile appeared on her face, "Big Brother Zhou, I have done as you said, just why did you let the Second Young Miss go to Putuo Temple?"

The one who was called Brother Zhou was an ordinary man with a smile on his face and slowly said, "Thank you so much, you don't need to worry about the rest, you'd better tell the Second Miss what you have in mind today, otherwise, you will be dragged into it.

I'm leaving."

Looking at Brother Zhou's back, Chun Fen's heart was beating fast.

"How did earth did De Zhou come to know Chun Fen?" Su Mo Li asked puzzled after getting the news.

Cheng Tao smiled and said, "When De Zhou first came, he spoke for Chun Fen so that Chun Fen was exempted from punishment. From then on, there was a connection between the two, so this time he could ask Chun Fen to help.

Chun Fen is also not like the Second Young Lady. She is trembling around the Second Young Lady and wants to leave the house, but there is not enough silver, and De Zhou gave his silver to Chun Fen."

At these words, Su Mo Li responded and said slowly, "Then help Chun Fen to leave. If you can make Chun Fen hand over Su Xin Zhen's leverage, it would be better."

"Miss, De Zhou has already gone to do it, you can rest assured."

Su Mo Li nodded. On the other side, Concubine Nian and Concubine Shui had already given Su Mo Li's response, rejecting Su Mo Li.

"The two concubines went to the Third Young Lady's side."

Huang Fan's words made Su Mo Li was silent for a moment. Her eyebrows furrowed together: "You guys watch Xuan'er, if something is not done well, you remember to take care of it for her."

"Miss, the medicine is bought back." Zi Su walked in, holding the medicine bag in her hand and handed it to Cheng Tao.

Cheng Tao quickly took it and took it over to boil.

A quarter of an hour later, Su Mo Li entered the room and took a medicinal bath.

Outside, Xiao Xiao asked curiously, "Sister Zi Yan. Why does she need to take a medicinal bath?"

"Miss is already in poor health, and it's normal." Zi Yan walked over, looked askance at Xiao Xiao and slowly said, "All right, there are still so many things left to do, go now."

Xiao Xiao stuck out her tongue, smartly saying: "I know, Sister Zi Yan, I'm going to sweep the floor!"

With that, Xiao Xiao jumped to leave.

Zi Su smiled and said, "Xiao Xiao is really cute."

Zi Yan helplessly glanced at Zi Su, slowly said: "Xiao Xiao always comes to the room, we have to be careful."

Zi Su looked at Zi Yan with dismay: "No way … "

"It's always good for us to pay attention." Zi Yan bit her lips and came up to Zi Su's ear and said a few words.

Zi Su was silent for a moment: "I know."

The next day, Su Mo Li wore a goose yellow dress. The pattern on the dress was ordinary, but it made people's eyes shine, mainly because Su Mo Li's looks were just too stunning.

A hair band of the same color wound up on her hair and with her slightly powdered face, she was really good-looking.

Cheng Tao looked at the Huang Fan and said, "Be careful when you go out, protect the Lady, be alert."

Huang Fan nodded.

Su Mo Li called for Zi Su and led the two towards the front.

The journey went smoothly. Today's Su Jia Xuan was dressed as usual while Su Xin Zhen was extremely flamboyant and wore complicated and elaborate clothes.

Su Mo Li couldn't help but glance at the sky and the bright sun, and then glanced at Su Xin Zhen. She saw a trace of thin sweat on her face and thought that she would have to walk up to Putuo Temple on foot later, and couldn't help but shiver.

Soon, they arrived at the foot of Putuo Temple.

Then the Old Madam Su walked up.

Su Mo Li and Su Jia Xuan were okay. The two chatted while walking up, however Su Xin Zhen was carrying her skirt, biting her lips to death.

"I can't, I need to find someone to carry me up!" Su Xin Zhen put down her skirt and said in no good mood. The little maid on the side hurriedly gave Su Xin Zhen a fan.

Su Xin Zhen looked at Old Madam Su who was walking in front of her and said to her maid Chun Xiao, "You go and tell Grandmother ah. Just say I'm tired and will rest for a while before climbing up. Let them go first."

Chun Xiao is the second-class maid in Su Xin Zhen's courtyard, because today the Chun Fen is sick, she came out.

Hearing this, she nodded and quickly conveyed the words over.

How could Old Madam Su not know that Su Xin Zhen wanted to be lazy. She wanted to say a few words, but eventually shook her head: "That's okay, let her be."

By the time the several people climbed up, it was already an hour later.

At the top, a young monk greeted them: "Please, masters, Master has prepared a room for you all. You can rest first, and then we will have dinner together in the evening."

"Thank you, little master."

After Old Madam Su sincerely bowed, she led the group of people to the back where they could rest.

It was a small courtyard with four or five rooms inside.

Old Madam Su told Su Mo Li and Su Jia Xuan to go back and rest.

Su Mo Li nodded at Zi Su, who bowed her body and quickly left.

"Huang Fan, go protect Zi Su."

Su Mo Li instructed. Huang Fan nodded, stood on her tiptoes and leapt straight up. Using the tree to shield her figure, she quickly followed Zi Su's footsteps.

Zi Su quickly reached the intersection, supposedly waiting for Su Xin Zhen, but she was actually waiting for Qian Yu.

Huang Fan took a look at Zi Su and leaped down first, making the palanquin bearer carrying Su Xin Zhen break his foot, and then replaced him with one of her own people which delayed some time.

And at that moment, Zhong Li Ling and Qian Yu also stood at the intersection.

"Didn't you say that Su family has already arrived? How come we don't see the Second Miss Su?" Qian Yu asked in confusion.

Zhong Li Ling frowned and did not speak.

Zi Su looked up at Qian Yu and just met Qian Yu's eyes, blushed and slightly lowered her head.

Qian Yu's throat moved slightly and a bright light flashed in his eyes, "You are the Su family's maid?"

Zi Su walked over with her head lowered and gave a greeting: "Greetings to the Second Prince, Sir Qian, the slave servant is here to wait for the Second Miss."

Saying that, Zi Su briefly said why Su Xin Zhen was behind.

Qian Yu looked up and down at Zi Su. His eyes turned and said to Zhong Li Ling, "Second Prince, I'm afraid that the Crown Prince will arrive soon. If you are not there, you will be gossiped about. I will wait here for you for the Second Miss of the Su family, you go over first."

Zhong Li Ling pondered a little and nodded, "Then I'll be grateful to Brother Qian." Saying that, he waved his hand and left.

When Zhong Li Ling's back disappeared, Qian Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Zi Su with amusement. Reaching out and touching Zi Su's face he said: "You are a good-looking girl, come, talk with Master for a while!"

The bottom of Zi Su's eyes were filled with disgust.

But she can't avoid it, she can only suffer hard.

Huang Fan, who was hiding in the bushes, rolled her eyes and directly grabbed a green fruit from the tree and threw it towards Qian Yu's head!

"Who? Who dares to hit me?"

Zi Su took advantage of this to retreat two steps from Qian Yu and bowed: "Sir Qian, there is no one there. Did you see it wrong?"

Qian Yu took a look around. Indeed, the wind and waves were calm, but when he touched his head, the pain was real.

But …

Looking at Zi Su's blushing face, Qian Yu directly put this little pain to the back of his mind.

"Second Miss!" Zi Su saw Qian Yu coming towards herself again and hastily called out. Qian Yu immediately looked over and saw Su Xin Zhen being carried on over.

"Sir Qian, this slave servant will go to the second young lady first."

"Wait, aren't you the maid next to Second Miss Su?" Qian Yu raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously.

Zi Su nodded: "Yes, this slave servant was ordered to come here to wait for Second Miss." Saying that, she bowed her body again and walked towards Su Xin Zhen.

Zi Su only said that she was ordered to wait for Second Miss, but Qian Yu misunderstood and thought that Zi Su was ordered to serve Su Xin Zhen. He then had a plan.

"Second Young Lady, the room has been prepared. The Old Madam asked the servant to come to fetch you." Zi Su whispered and helped Su Xin Zhen to go ahead.

Su Xin Zhen expressed great satisfaction. When she walked over, she was a little surprised to see Qian Yu: "Sir Qian?"

Qian Yu smiled: "I am here by order of the Second Prince to wait for the Second Young Lady. If there is nothing wrong with the Second Young Lady, why don't you come with me to see the Second Prince first?"

Zi Su said: "Miss, the Old Madam's side … why not let Chun Xiao go back to inform the Old Madam and let this servant accompany you there. After all Chun Xiao is your personal maid."

Qian Yu once again showed a look of understanding. No wonder he had not seen this maid before, it turns out that she was just an unpopular one.

At that moment Qian Yu said: "I think it's okay, after all, the words of the personal maid is the most credible. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Old Madam Su will blame this maid."

"What Sir Qian said is right." As for letting Su Mo Li's maid serve her, Su Xin Zhen had a strange sense of satisfaction in her heart and she immediately said to Chun Xiao, "You go back to my grandmother and tell her that the Second Prince is looking for me."

Su Mo Li and Su Jia Xuan were drinking tea and chatting in the courtyard while waiting for Old Madam Su to wake up. When she did, they chatted with Old Madam Su about family matters.

It was not until the evening that Su Xin Zhen came back with a bright smile on her face. Obviously, she was very happy

"Since everyone have arrived, let's go eat." The Old Madam walked over with the three young ladies.

Zi Su was just about to go to Su Mo Li's side when she heard Su Xin Zhen's voice come over, "Big Sister, I think this maid Zi Su suits my eyes very well, why don't you give me this maid."

Su Mo Li looked at Su Xin Zhen in mock surprise: "But, if I have one less maid, things can't be arranged …"

"Then how about this, I'll exchange it for you with Chun Xiao." Su Xin Zhen said unconcernedly.

Su Mo Li sighed: "How can that do ah, Chun Xiao is the second-class maid beside you, and has your important use. I naturally will not take away the goods of others. Zi Su is a maid that I also like very much. I would like to immediately make her a first-class one, so you …"

Su Xin Zhen rolled her eyes: "Okay, I'll use the Chun Fen to exchange with you. Then this can be done right?"

"Second sister will actually give up Chun Fen?" Su Mo Li's eyes lit up, "Then thanks a lot Second Sister."

Zi Su also walked over and bowed to Su Xin Zhen, "Thank you for your kindness, Second Miss."

With a smile on her small face, Su Xin Zhen nodded in satisfaction, "Let's go."

Zi Su did not move and glanced at Su Mo Li, who nodded inaudibly.

The conversation between the two was naturally heard by Old Madam Su and seeing that the two sisters had reached an agreement, she didn't say much.

While they were eating, they saw Zhong Li Shi and others.

Old Madam. Su hurriedly got up and saluted.

Zhong Li Shi had a smile on his face that was as warm as the wind: "Old Madam doesn't need to be polite, we also came to Putuo Temple to take a break. Old Madam please feel free."

Old Madam Su nodded and sat down after a few polite words with Zhong Li Shi.

Su Mo Li had a light smile on her face, and after raising her head and meeting Zhong Li Shi's eyes, she quickly lowered her head.

The soft look made the corners of Zhong Li Shi's mouth twitch. If he didn't know her nature, he was afraid he would have been cheated long ago.

"County Princess Su Rou looks really captivating ah!" Qian Yu couldn't help but sigh, "Her painting and qin skills are also very powerful, it's just a pity that Daoist Master Baichuan actually said that County Princess Su Rou could only be a royal concubine."

Shaking his head, Qian Yu's face showed a look of pity.

"I say, Second Prince, why didn't you look at County Princess Su Rou before? I think the Princess is extremely good looking!"

Qian Yu couldn't help but ask.

Zhong Li Ling swept a glance at Su Mo Li and a look of dislike appeared between his eyebrows: "Too soft.

Whenever she speaks, she always hesitates and acts pretentious, it's really disgusting."

Zhong Li Ling's words made everyone shut their mouths. They knew that Zhong Li Ling didn't like such women, but they didn't expect that he would be so disgusted with Su Mo Li.

Zhong Li Shi picked up a cup of tea, sip it, and slowly said: "If Aunt Huimin is still around, County Princess Su Rou will live with abandon. What concubine and what royal concubine? With Aunt Huimin around, who can humiliate her?

Her mother has gone, her father does not love, stepmother is meddling. If she is not obedient, I'm afraid she would have long left this world.

Without understanding the suffering of others, do not advise others to be kind." Zhong Li Shi hooked the corner of his lips and looked at Zhong Li Ling, "Not everyone is as happy as Second Royal Brother."

"The Crown Prince is right." Some of the first sons who have step mothers, or those whose first mothers are not favored, have agreed and looked at Zhong Li Shi with eyes full of trust.

And those who are happy with their lives are thoughtful, looking at Zhong Li Shi's eyes are full of admiration.

The Qian family was on Zhong Li Ling's side, so Qian Yu also supported Zhong Li Ling.

"Second Prince, you'd better stop talking …"

If even Qian Yu sensed that something was wrong, Zhong Li Ling could naturally think of it. His face was a little bad, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you, Eldest Brother, for teaching me."

Zhong Li Shi nodded: "It's no problem, if you know your mistakes, you can correct them, there's nothing better.

As for the exact words of Daoist Master Baichuan, how about waiting for Grandmaster Sankong to return. After all, what Daoist Master Baichuan did ten years ago, don't you forget."

Zhong Li Shi's reminder made everyone slightly stunned. Ten years ago, they were still children, what could they know?

Zhong Li Shi was obviously not going to say it, which made them even more curious and ready to ask their parents when they got home.

"Amitabha." The host came over, looked at everyone and said with a smile, "All of the masters, let's eat."

Zhong Li Shi answered and said with a smile, "I wonder when Grandmaster Sankong will be back?"

"Soon." The host said with a smile, "Senior uncle will be back soon."

Su Mo Li's eyes twitched as she picked up a piece of tofu and put it in Old Madam Su's bowl, "Grandma, you eat more, this tastes good."

"Good, Li'er should also eat more." Old Madam Su said with a smile.

Su Xin Zhen scowled, "Bootlicker!"

Su Jia Xuan opened her eyes and said in mock confusion, "Second Sister, what are you talking about?"

"Eat your own! What's it to you?"

Su Jia Xuan revealed a look of aggravation, which coincidentally was seen by Zhong Li Ling.

Zhong Li Ling frowned.

Su Xin Zhen sensed that something was wrong and immediately looked at Zhong Li Ling with a look of aggravation.

A trace of doubt surfaced in Zhong Li Ling's eyes.

Qian Yu came over again: "I see this Second Miss Su seems to be aggrieved? I didn't see what happened ah? Is it possible that there is a conflict with the Third Young Lady? The Third Young Lady is the Second Young Lady's sibling sister, right?"

"Yes." Zhong Li Ling faintly responded, "I don't know what it's about. Don't worry about it, let's eat."

Qian Yu shrugged his shoulders, then looked at Zi Su next to Su Xin Zhen. Seeing her with her head down and her thin and small appearance, he became more and more impatient.

With a twinkle in his eye, he had a plan in mind.

When finished with the meal, Zhong Li Shi came over to invite the young ladies of the Su family to join the tea party.

"Old Madam don't worry, Xi'er and He Le have also arrived." Zhong Li Shi's words made it hard for Old Madam Su to refuse, so she said, "That's good. Then this old body also has the cheek to go along and take a look."

"Naturally that's fine. Old Madam, this way please."

After arriving at the back of the temple, they really saw Zhong Li Xi and He Le.

Zhong Li Xi ran to Su Mo Li's side with her eyes shining: "Li'er!"

After Su Mo Li and He Le greeted each other, the group of people sat down.

Old Madam Su was really very old and after listening for a while, she let Momo Ke stay here and went back by herself.

Su Xin Zhen naturally followed Zhong Li Ling and the two were in a corner. Su Xin Zhen's face had a look of aggravation: "Sister did this as if to say I was not filial. I also like grandmother ah, but grandmother does not like me. I will not go in front of her, so as not to annoy her in her old age.

Do you know that Third Sister actually said it's my fault and it's always wrong for me to be at home?"

The more Su Xin Zhen said, the more heated her tone became, and a stubborn look appeared on her small face, "But it doesn't matter, since they don't like me, then I don't like them either!"

Staring at the look on Su Xin Zhen's face, Zhong Li Ling's face showed a doting smile. He reached out to rub Su Xin Zhen's head: "Your nature is straightforward, so naturally you are not like those women who can be superficial to be liked, but I like you like this."

At these words, Su Xin Zhen's face appeared shy and she pretended to squirm and said, "If the Second Prince does not like me one day, then why don't you give me a letter of divorce. I won't be entangled."

Su Xin Zhen has always known what kind of woman Zhong Li Ling likes and as expected, after hearing these words, Zhong Li Ling's eyes lit up and the smile on his face deepened: "Zhen'er is telling jokes, you are the Imperial Consort of this Prince."

"What are you guys whispering about here?" Qian Yu walked over and said with a smile, "I said Second Prince and Second Miss Su, you are not going to the Crown Prince's side?"

Su Xin Zhen glanced at Zhong Li Shi, happened to see the side profile of Zhong Li Shi. His handsome face caused Su Xin Zhen to be in a trance for a moment.

But she quickly reacted and said in a discontented manner, "Those people just know how to suck up to the Crown Prince. What's so great about the Crown Prince? Even my father has said that the Second Prince's learning is better than the Crown Prince's. In my opinion, the position of Crown Prince is still suitable for the Second Prince."

"Zhen'er, don't talk nonsense." Although Zhong Li Ling's mouth was blaming Su Xin Zhen, but in his heart, he was very flattered.

Su Xin Zhen spat out her tongue, "These are all our own people, it should be fine, right?"

"Second Miss Su's thoughts are the same as mine." Qian Yu opened his folding fan and said with a smile, "However, the Emperor's mind is impervious to anyone's guess.

That's all, let's not talk about that." Qian Yu looked at Su Xin Zhen and said with a smile, "Second Young Miss, that Zi Su girl, is she someone close to you?"

Su Xin Zhen smiled and raised her eyebrows. She was able to see that Qian Yu was interested in Zi Su, and it was also because Qian Yu was interested in Zi Su that he became more and more respectful to herself. This then made the people of the Second Prince's party very polite to her.

That's why she called Zi Su over to her.

"Yes, Zi Su is my second class maid." Su Xin Zhen said with a smile, "I know what Sir Qian means. When I get married, I can give Zi Su to Sir Qian."

"Good!" Qian Yu laughed loudly, leading many people to look over.

Su Xin Zhen smiled lightly: "It's Zi Su's good fortune to be seen by Sir Qian Yu."

A smug look appeared on Qian Yu's face as he glanced at Su Xin Zhen: "Thank you, future Second Prince Consort."

Su Xin Zhen blushed: "Don't talk nonsense. Anyways, I'll go first." With that, Su Xin Zhen carried her skirt, and slowly walked towards the side.

Su Mo Li watched Su Xin Zhen walk over and glanced at Zi Su who was not far away.

Zi Su quickly greeted her: "Miss, do you want to go to the side to rest?"

"Mhm." Su Xin Zhen took a few steps towards the front, stopped again, and turned around and walked towards the other side.

Away from the crowd.

"You keep watch for me, I'll rest here for a while."

Su Xin Zhen was surrounded by large trees. If you did not look carefully, it wasn't possible to see that there were people inside.

"Zi Su, help me untie this skirt a little." Su Xin Zhen's voice came over, "It's too hot, I should have known not to wear such cumbersome clothes."

"Second Young Miss, if someone finds out, how can we be okay?" Zi Su looked at Su Xin Zhen and whispered, "Second Miss, you can't show your legs."

"It's okay, no one can see. You can keep watch. My leg feels like a bug has crawled into it, and it's very painful." Su Xin Zhen said while looking at her leg.

"Second Miss, why don't we go back first …" said Zi Su tentatively.

Su Xin Zhen glared at Zi Su: "Are you stupid? The Second Prince is already here, how can I go back? I'll endure it, you just watch outside for me."

"Big Sister, what is Second Sister doing over there?" Su Jia Xuan asked suspiciously, "Is it because she doesn't want to be with us?"

"Hmm." Su Mo Li swept a glance and slowly said, "Don't go over there. Stay here at ease and don't go around."

Su Jia Xuan looked at Su Mo Li in doubt. Su Mo Li was not ready to continue and instead handed Su Jia Xuan a fruit: "Eat."

Su Jia Xuan took it, and her heart became even more puzzled.

Su Mo Li has been sitting in the same place, listening to Zhong Li Shi and the people around talking, but in the heart she was counting. It should be time for the poison to take effect.

In the corner of her eyes, she was paying attention to Zi Su. Not a moment later, she saw Zi Su standing in a more conspicuous place and then slowly shift behind a large tree.

And Qian Yu, who had been paying attention to Zi Su, walked over after saying a few words to his companion.

"Sir Qian." Zi Su shyly glanced at Qian Yu, bowed her body, and slowly said, "Sir Qian, the Second Miss asked the slave servant to keep watch here, do you have something to say?"

Qian Yu glanced at the scenery behind him and thought about it, "Fine, you wait here first, I'll go talk to Second Miss Su."

Saying that, Qian Yu walked in.

Zi Su looked at Su Mo Li and nodded silently.

Su Mo Li, on the other hand, turned her head to look at Zhong Li Shi and slowly stood up, "They say the scenery of Putuo Temple is very good, Crown Prince, I'll go take a look around."

"We'll join you." Zhong Li Shi also stood up and said with a smile, "The sunset in the west is amazing to see."

The group of people stood up and began to wander around.

At this time, Su Xin Zhen was leaning on the back of a chair. Her eyes were shut and she seemed to have fallen into a drowsy sleep.

As soon as Qian Yu came in, he saw Su Xin Zhen's exposed white and tender legs.

At that moment, his eyes lit up and were filled with lust and evil. He couldn't help but get closer and reach out to touch them.

The smooth feeling made Qian Yu gulp. His hand gradually climbed upward and touched Su Xin Zhen's waist.

"Ah!"

A scream came over.

Zhong Li Ling quickly froze: "What's the situation?"

"Go over and take a look." Zhong Li Shi quickly said.

The two of them took three steps and arrived at the source of the sound. Zhong Li Ling only saw a purple figure flash by: "How can you treat Second Miss like this!"

"What's wrong?" Su Xin Zhen was also awakened. She gave puzzled to glance to Zi Su who pounced on her body. In the corner of her eye, she saw Qian Yu who was pushed on the ground. Reason quickly returned to her and she immediately looked at her exposed legs and covered them up in a hurry.

"Zi Su … what's going on?" The trembling voice gave away the tension in her heart.

Su Xin Zhen gulped and slowly looked at Qian Yu: "You, what did you come here for?"

Qian Yu was also confused, but quickly reacted, "Second Miss Su, how can you be so shameless, showing your legs outside, what kind of appearance is this!"

"You're nonsense! It was clearly you who rushed over and touched our Second Miss's face! You even tried to take off our Second Miss's clothes!" Zi Su shouted loudly, her voice clear and unmistakable, causing Zhong Li Ling's face to instantly sink.

Su Xin Zhen's face turned red for a while and the whole person was at a loss for words. She didn't know why she suddenly became this way.

Su Mo Li looked to Su Jia Xuan. After saying a few words in her ear, Su Jia Xuan nodded and quickly walked over, her face full of anxiety: "Second Sister, what is going on? How could you … you are engaged to the second prince!"

"I don't know …" Su Xin Zhen's entire body was now in a daze, her heart was beating rapidly and her entire body was in a panic.

"What's going on?" Zhong Li Shi's voice came over and looked at Zi Su and said, "You say."

"The slave servant was guarding the outside, and then Sir Qian came and said he wanted to talk to Miss. I found that Sir Qian had actually pulled away our young lady's clothes!

He, he actually tried to take advantage of our young lady!

This servant girl rushed over and found that our young lady had actually been asleep! Sir Qian, how could you do this to our young lady!"

Su Jia Xuan looked at Su Xin Zhen and pinched her: "Second Sister, you cry quickly, you have to pin this matter to the head of Sir Qian, otherwise, your reputation will be ruined!"

Su Jia Xuan's words reminded Su Xin Zhen, Su Xin Zhen tears fell from her eyes. She looked at Zhong Li Ling's gloomy face, and quickly walked towards him. Her hand tightly pulling on Zhong Li Ling's sleeve: "Second Prince, I, I was just resting here for a while, I don't know what's going on …"

"Second Prince, you have to believe our lady, our lady is really innocent ah! It's Lord Qian! Sir Qian wants to ruin our Second Miss's reputation! Sir Qian, our Second Young Miss has no enmity with you, why are you treating our Second Young Miss like this, why!"

Zi Su cried out loudly, "Poor our Second Young Miss, she didn't do anything, she actually …"

"Second Prince, you have to believe me …" Su Xin Zhen looked at Zhong Li Ling and said in a small voice.

Qian Yu's face is also bad, immediately said: "I did not, I came in and saw the Second Young Lady lying here with her legs exposed, I do not know anything."

"Okay! Stop arguing!" Zhong Li Ling reprimanded them angrily. The surrounding gentry exchanged a few words and looked at Zhong Li Ling with changed eyes.

Zhong Li Shi then said, "This matter should be investigated clearly, after all, it is about the reputation of the Second Miss of the Su Family."

"May I ask a few words?" Su Mo Li walked out and said slowly.

Su Xin Zhen heard Su Mo Li's voice and looked up at Su Mo Li with a jerk: "What do you want? Don't you try to cast stones down the well!"

"Sister?" Su Mo Li looked at Su Xin Zhen with confusion, "How can you think of me like that? We are real sisters!"

A look of resignation surfaced on Su Mo Li's face, "What good would it do to our Su family's daughters if something happened to you? If something happens to you, my reputation and that of my third sister will also be implicated …"

Su Jia Xuan immediately said, "Second Sister, just listen to Eldest Sister, Eldest Sister will not harm you."

"She …" Su Xin Zhen tried to argue, when she heard Zhong Li Ling say coldly, "Are you still not ashamed of yourself? Shut up!"

Su Xin Zhen looked at Zhong Li Ling incredulously, her eyes full of shock: "Second Prince, what did you say?"

However, Zhong Li Ling did not even look at Su Xin Zhen and said directly, "Qian Yu, this Prince gives you the opportunity to explain, you say!"

Qian Yu hurriedly knelt down: "I don't know what happened, as soon as I came in, I saw Second Miss Su unkempt and fainted, I went to check, but I didn't expect this girl to come over."

"It's not like that!" Zi Su said immediately.

Su Xin Zhen also hurriedly shook her head: "No, it's not like that …"

"Sir Qian, you said you went to check on my sister after seeing her faint. You obviously know that men and women are different, why didn't you go and call Zi Su first?

Even if you went to check because you were worried about my sister, you could have called Zi Su first and then went to check, yet you didn't, but moved to my sister directly, which is already your fault. Plus Zi Su went in and saw you misbehaving with my sister, you say, who should we believe?

Sir Qian, you went over to find Zi Su, went to the back, many of us here saw it, this time can also be calculated, in the end is enough for Sir Qian you to do something to my sister."

Everyone glanced at each other and discussed it.

"It seems that a long time has passed."

"I also feel that a long time has passed …"

"But, no matter what, this Second Miss Su's innocence is ruined ah, this Second Prince wears a big green hat on his head ah!"

"No! What a pity ah!"

When Su Xin Zhen heard Su Mo Li's words, she breathed a sigh of relief thinking that she had escaped. However, when she heard the surrounding people's discussion, she realized that no matter what, her own reputation was ruined!

At that moment she couldn't catch her breath and directly fainted.

"Second Miss!"

Zi Su rushed over.

Su Mo Li looked at Zhong Li Ling, her small face was full of seriousness: "Second Prince, no matter what, Second Sister is the victim. She was already sad enough, you as Second Sister's fiancee, can't you comfort Second Sister? Are you that heartless?"

After saying that, Su Mo Li and Zi Su both helped Su Xin Zhen to leave.

Zhong Li Shi sighed, looked at Qian Yu, and then glanced at Zhong Li Ling: "Second Royal Brother, no matter what, you shouldn't treat the Second Miss of the Su family like this, as for Qian Yu."

Zhong Li Shi paused for a moment and slowly said, "You still don't tell the truth?"

Qian Yu's face was a little pale, and he forced a smile: "What does the Crown Prince mean by this?"

"Ling Ren."

A black shadow flashed and a middle-aged man appeared directly: "Master, this subordinate saw it. It was Sir Qian who put his hands on Miss Su!"

The crowd took a breath backwards and looked at Zhong Li Shi incredulously.

Zhong Li Shi said indifferently: "I invited you all here today, I naturally have to protect you all. Therefore, for each of you, I have sent my secret guards to follow you just in case."

As Zhong Li Shi's words fell, many secret guards appeared causing the crowd to go silent.

67: Substitute One Thing for Another

NOVEMBER 10, 2021 ~ E THEE YOUTUBE BABE

Obviously, the people had already believed Zhong Li Shi's words.

Zhong Li Ling coldly looked at Qian Yu. Qian Yu's forehead was covered with cold sweat and he knelt down with a "poof": "Second Prince, I… I just got carried away for a moment!"

Suddenly, Qian Yu thought of something and immediately said, "It's Su Xin Zhen! As soon as I walked in, I saw her with her legs exposed. Who knows who she was trying to seduce! Second Prince, you must not marry such a loose woman!

Second Prince, I was really seduced by Su Xin Zhen, it's not my fault!"

Zhong Li Ling's hand in his sleeve was tightly clenched into a fist, his face was full of gloom, while his eyes were full of cold intent: "Get out!"

Qian Yu nervously jumped up, saw the look on Zhong Li Ling's face, and turned around and ran away.

Zhong Li Shi sighed, full of helplessness: "I really did not expect such a thing to happen. So, let's disperse before discussing specifics and wait for Second Royal Brother to calm down."

"The Crown Prince does not have to blame himself, no one wanted this to happen, it was too sudden."

"Yes, the blame should be on Qian Yu. How dare he have unintentional thoughts about the Second Young Lady of the Su family. Won't this make the Qian family and the Second Prince cross swords? I don't know how this Qian Yu is thinking."

"No, I've never seen such a stupid person like this ah."

"But this Second Young Lady is also loose enough to steal the Second Prince from the First Young Lady. And now she has fallen to Qian Yu, tsk, really …"

The people looked at each other and saw the amusement in each other's eyes.

At the same time, Su Xin Zhen who was lying in bed woke up. When she saw Su Mo Li, she got up from the bed and directly pushed Su Mo Li: "You go! It's all your fault! You get out of here!

Are you happy that my reputation has been ruined? If it wasn't for you, how would things have turned out like this!

It's all you! It's all your fault! I don't want to see you!"

"Nonsense!" Old Madam Su slammed the table, "You're not young anymore! You did such a thing yourself and yet you blame Li'er! Tell me, how exactly did Li'er wrong you!"

Old Madam Su's voice made Su Xin Zhen shut her mouth, but her face was still full of defiance, "Grandmother, I know you like Big Sister and pity Big Sister, but it's obviously her fault that my reputation is ruined, so how come I can't blame her?"

Su Jia Xuan was so angry that her chest was heaving up and down. If not for Su Mo Li pulling her tightly, I'm afraid she would have already rushed over.

"Okay, you say!" Old Madam Su coldly looked at Su Xin Zhen and said word by word.

Su Xin Zhen pursed her lips, "She knew I hated her, yet she sat in the crowd. If I hadn't wanted to avoid her, how would I have gone to such a remote place and how would I have been bullied by Qian Yu!"

The surrounding maids looked at Su Xin Zhen incredulously. Looking at Su Xin Zhen's rightful eyes, they all pitied Su Mo Li.

Su Mo Li also did not expect that Su Xin Zhen would actually say such words, and could not help but feel funny in her heart.

Su Jia Xuan could not hold back any longer and rushed out: "You went to such an isolated place and blame Big Sister? If you don't want to sit with Big Sister, you can sit with me, can't you? I am also some distance away from Big Sister. And even if you go to such a remote place, is it Big Sister that made you undress yourself and reveal your legs?"

Su Xin Zhen snapped her head around and looked at Zi Su.

Zi Su shrank her neck, her face was full of fear.

"You don't need to look at Zi Su, she's just a little maid." Old Madam Su said indifferently, "It's natural for her to tell what she knows."

Su Xin Zhen tightly bit her lips, "My leg suddenly itched between me, I just … I don't know …"

"Well, even if you don't know anything, then why did you sleep over there? Don't you know that people come and go, it's dangerous?" Su Jia Xuan said again.

Sleep over …

Su Xin Zhen was somewhat confused, yes, how could she sleep?

Was it because she was too tired?

It should be …

Thinking of this, Su Xin Zhen face filled with panic. Thinking of her future, she couldn't help but cry. She didn't know what to do and her mother wasn't around. She shouldn't have come to Putuo Temple!

Old Madam Su listened to the sound of Su Xin Zhen's crying and she only felt very bored. But now she was the only elder here, so she took a deep breath and ordered, "Get ready, we'll go back to the house overnight."

"Yes." Momo Ke answered and immediately went to make arrangements, while Huang Fan went over to help.

After Su Chen knew that Old Madam Su had returned overnight, he knew that something must have happened and rushed over with Li Qianshi.

After hearing the ins and outs, Su Chen was shocked: "Zhen'er?"

Li Qianshi began to cry: "Zhen'er, my Zhen'er ah! What can we do after this! The Second Prince won't want to withdraw from the marriage, right?"

Su Chen frowned tightly. Glancing at Li Qianshi who was holding Su Xin Zhen and crying, his frown deepened.

"Chen'er, what do you think?" Old Madam Su asked.

Su Chen shook his head and slowly said, "The Second Prince is suspicious, there is no way he will just acknowledge this matter. I'm afraid, this marriage will not work."

Su Chen sighed. He glanced at Su Jia Xuan and shook his head. No, she was too small.

He also glanced at Su Mo Li and his eyes could not help but shine.

Seeing Su Chen's expression, Su Mo Li could not help but sneer in her heart. Indeed, she is a daughter who can be thrown away at will.

This pot, she was afraid he was going to try and dump it on her.

As expected, she heard Su Chen say: "Now there is only one way. Li'er, are you willing to help the Su family?"

Su Mo Li looked at Su Chen in disbelief and said slowly, "Father, I am naturally willing, as long as I can help the Su family and help my second sister, I can do anything."

Old Madam Su's eyelids jumped and looked at Su Chen incredulously.

Then she heard Su Chen say, "This matter, you admit it in public. Admit that it was you who was molested by Qian Yu, not Zhen'er. After all, Zhen'er is going to marry the Second Prince.

I also know it's wronging you and I'm sorry about this matter, but Li'er this is the only way out. After all, Qian Yu is an unmarried male and you are an unmarried female, it would be okay for you to marry Qian Yu.

Of course, Father will try to fight for you to let Qian Yu treat you well in the future, okay?"

Su Mo Li's eyes opened wide, and her eyes filled with tears.

On the other hand, when Li Qianshi heard his words, her eyes lit up. When she saw that Su Xin Zhen was about to speak, she hastily pressed her down and shook her head.

Su Xin Zhen bit her lips and knew that her success or failure was at stake. As long as Su Mo Li agreed, then her reputation would be saved!

"Li'er, you just help a help Su family." Li Qianshi whispered. She wisely skipped over Su Xin Zhen, but instead emphasized the point of helping the Su family, "After all, if this matter is not handled well, the Second Prince will certainly have a dislike for our Su family, then everything we have done before …"

Li Qianshi face was pleading and desperate.

Su Mo Li opened her mouth and reached out to wipe the tears on her face, "Then, will the Second Prince and Sir Qian agree?"

Old Madam Su reached out and held Su Mo Li's hand, saying in a hoarse voice, "Child, I have let you suffer."

Su Mo Li shook her head and did not say anything.

Su Chen's expression eased a few points and he slowly said, "If you agree, Father will naturally go and negotiate with those two people."

"But Father." Su Mo Li raised his head, "Daoist Master Baichuan said that I can only be a royal concubine. Will the Emperor agree to marry me to Qian Yu?"

"This is false! This is all fake!" Li Qianshi immediately said. Just as the words came out, she covered her mouth and her face was full of shock, "I, I didn't say anything …"

Su Chen's face revealed a cold intent: "What is going on?"

Old Madam Su took a deep breath, and Momo Ke, who was beside her, quickly stroked the old lady's chest, "Old Madam Su, you calm down, don't be anxious.

Come, have a sip of tea."

Su Mo Li also looked at Li Qianshi in confusion: "Mother, you just said it's all fake. What exactly is all fake?"

Li Qianshi's face was a little flustered.

Su Mo Li pursed her lips, slowly said: "If the fact that I can only be the royal concubine is false, then I can marry to Sir Qian and also help my sister to wash off the dirty water on her body. But if it is true … I'm afraid that there is no way to pass the hurdle that is the Emperor …"

"It's fake! It's fake!" Li Qianshi face was pale, but she hardened her head and said, "At first I bribed Baichuan Daoist, to let him say nonsense. I have no malicious intent, I just want this matter spread out so that Li'er can marry the royal family. Then our family also has an extra layer of protection. Master, I really had no malicious intent … "

Hearing that, Su Chen closed his eyes: "If you really have a heart, why did you not let Daoist Master Baichuan say that Li'er can be the rightful wife?"

Su Mo Li smiled in her heart. This Su Chen is not too stupid after getting involved in the Su family's affairs.

Li Qianshi eyes darted around frantically. She opened her mouth several times, but not a single word came out.

Su Mo Li dropped her eyes and the tears fell down, but she didn't say anything.

Old Madam Su stared at Li Qianshi for half a second before slowly saying: "Chen'er, this matter should never be tolerated! How can such a woman become the head of the family in the back house? Leave the affairs of the back house to Concubine Nian and Concubine Shui. Those two have the qualifications and are stable in their work.

Although they only assisted your wife in the management before, they are also very capable, so let her reflect on herself."

Old Madam Su's words made Li Qianshi's face pale, but after looking at Su Xin Zhen on the side, she said with a stiff heart, "Yes, daughter-in-law will follow orders, but Zhen'er's matter …"

"I promise." Su Mo Li let out a miserable smile, "I know, Mother did this because she was afraid that my second sister would be compared to me. But I do not care about this. As long as the Su family is good, I am good. Father, Mother, Grandmother, I promise. About this matter, let's say that I did it. Only, it would take some time to do this. We can't be in a hurry when we do it. How can we let the Emperor know that Daoist Master Baichuan is a fraud."

"Li'er is right." Old Madam Su sighed, "It's good to clear up the matter that Li'er can only be a concubine.

The Qian family is a little lower than our family, but with your father around, they wouldn't dare to bully you." Old Madam Su said slowly, looking lovingly at Su Mo Li, "Perhaps, it is also a good thing."

Su Jia Xuan couldn't help but say, "How can it be a good thing? When the Qian family marries Eldest Sister in this situation, there must have some resentment in their hearts. More importantly, Sir Qian clearly likes Second Sister. Now that Eldest Sister is the one he's marrying, he' s sure to be aggrieved and make Eldest Sister miserable!"

Old Madam Su choked for a moment, and finally settled into a helpless sigh.

Li Qianshi scolded: "What do you know at such a young age? See that you do not shut up!"

Su Jia Xuan pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Su Mo Li on the side smiled: "It's okay, I promised I wouldn't change my mind. Father, you'd better hurry up and make the arrangements."

Then, Su Mo Li looked at Su Xin Zhen: "I just hope that after this incident, sister can remember my goodness and not feel that I owe you everything."

After saying that, Su Mo Li left.

Su Xin Zhen was furious and wanted to defend herself, but she was rebuked by Su Chen: "If it wasn't for Li'er, do you think you would still be married to the Second Prince? If you find trouble with Li'er again, you will solve this matter yourself!"

Only then did Su Xin Zhen shut her mouth.

Su Jia Xuan glanced at the crowd and was disappointed. If she still had a slight illusion about these people before, now, it was completely dead.

68: Returning to the Palace

NOVEMBER 11, 2021 ~ E THEE YOUTUBE BABE

After Su Mo Li returned to Cui Zhu Yuan, she changed her clothes and prepared to go to the East Palace.

But to her surprise, she ran into Zhong Li Shi, who was dressed in night clothes outside.

Su Mo Li smiled: "Let's go to the restaurant."

After the two of them arrived, Zhong Li Shi said, "Things have been arranged. Tomorrow everyone in the capital will know about Qian Yu and Su Xin Zhen's affair."

"Hmmm, tomorrow there will also be rumors that Daoist Master Baichuan received money to frame me, so asking the Crown Prince to please give it a push."

Zhong Li Shi cast a surprised glanced at Su Mo Li: "That is unexpected."

"Unexpected."

Su Mo Li ate the dishes on the table. Looking at the lights not far away, she said slowly: "Chen Yan's side should have gotten quite a bit of news that I sent over."

"Well, yesterday in the Imperial study, Father received the first batch of information. It's just that you have to hurry up with the account book."

Su Mo Li answered and the two of them stayed silent for almost half an hour before they each left separately

The next day, the whole capital city exploded.

All kinds of news were circulating among the people.

"What a shame. The Second Miss Su actually did such a thing, if this were in our hometown, she would be tossed in a pig pen!"

"No, the Second Young Lady Su stole the Second Prince from the Eldest Young Lady Su and now she has gotten involved with the Qian family, tsk, really powerful!"

"Yes, I really did not expect ah, that the Second Prince would really wear a green hat. But with this, he is definitely going to withdraw from the marriage!"

"Who knows? But, you heard that the original Baichuan Daoist was accepting people's silver and deliberately said that the Eldest Young Lady Su can only be a concubine. Is this is not harming the Young Lady!"

"Oh my God, this young lady is too poor, right? If I may say so, once there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather. This mother does not love, father does not love, no wonder she was bullied!"

"In that case, doesn't that mean Madam Su did it? She deliberately framed the Eldest Miss, after all, Eldest Miss is not her own child ah!"

"You are not unreasonable to say so, really unexpected ah, poor Miss."

"Right? It's so pitiful."

"What's going on? How could the word get out so quickly!" Li Qianshi looked at Su Chen incredulously: "Master, this, what should we do?"

Su Chen's face was dark and sullen. Su Xin Zhen on the side couldn't help but cry in a low voice: "Father, the gossip outside is not at all the same as what was said yesterday. Everything has been exposed. You should hurry up and let Su Mo Li go and clarify! Father!"

"You shut up!" Su Chen scolded, his eyes full of anger, "If you hadn't made these things happen, how would our Su family be on the tongue of everyone?

And you, you actually paid off Daoist Master Baichuan. In this way, if we let Li'er go out to clarify, not only will it not allow Zhen'er to be cleared of the sewage on her, it will also make them think that all of our Su family is bullying Li'er. Who is Li'er? She is not only the daughter of the Su family, but also County Princess Suo Rou! The niece of the Emperor!

This matter, there's no way out!"

Li Qianshi's heart sank fiercely and she said with a trembling voice, "Master, what do you mean by that?"

"Literally, the marriage between Zhen'er and the Second Prince, it won't work."

Su Chen closed his eyes, "I will find a way to get the Qian family to propose the marriage, so that the hit to the Su family's reputation can be reduced to a minimum."

"Father! How can this be! I don't like that Qian Yu. Father! Don't!" Su Xin Zhen's face was filled with panic, "I don't want to marry Qian Yu, I don't want to!"

Su Chen still wanted to say something when the housekeeper hurriedly came in, "Master, news came from the Palace. The Emperor's edict commands you to enter the Palace as soon as possible."

Su Chen answered and after a change of clothes, he quickly walked out.

Su Mo Li was waiting outside and after seeing Su Chen, she slowly said, "Father, the Emperor summoned me to the Palace."

Su Chen was a little surprised, obviously not expecting Su Mo Li to be summoned as well.

After the two of them got on the carriage, they soon arrived at the Imperial study.

In the Imperial study room, Daoist Master Baichuan was kneeling on the floor with a head full of sweat, while the Emperor already had a sullen look on his face.

After seeing Su Mo Li, the Emperor's expression was only a few degrees better. He slowly said: "Come over here, you have been wronged."

Su Mo Li walked up and showed a soft smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for doing justice to Li'er. It's only that Li'er doesn't know when she offended Daoist Master Baichuan. Do you know that one word from you can ruin my life?"

Daoist Master Baichuan hastily confessed. When he saw Su Chen, he immediately said, "Madam Su asked me to say it. I am just a little greedy for money, please spare my life, Your Majesty!"

Su Chen hurriedly kneeled down: "Your Majesty, it's because I was lax in managing the family. I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

Su Mo Li also said: "Your Majesty, my father did not know about this, please be lenient. As for my mother, there may be some misunderstanding about me …"

When speaking the last part, Su Mo Li 's voice was very small, as if she didn't know what to say anymore.

The Emperor sighed: "Xi'er is waiting for you, you go over first."

Su Mo Li answered and gave a worried glance at him before leaving.

"Someone come." The Emperor called out, "Daoist Master Baichuan is a delusional Daoist Master. Send this person to the main prison and he shall not be released for life!"

Daoist Master Baichuan fell limp on the ground with his face was full of incredulity. He then looked at Su Chen and said, "It was your family that harmed me! Poisonous woman! Poisonous woman!"

After Daoist Master Baichuan was pulled away, the Emperor looked at Su Chen who was kneeling on the ground and sighed: "Su Aiqing, how can you handle political affairs when the back of your house is not peaceful?

Your family affairs should not be my business, but your wife is harming my niece! While the death of the Eldest Princess Huimin was already strange, I believed you because you said she had a disease. I'm afraid it's not the case now!"

The Emperor's words made Su Chen's body shiver: "Your Majesty is wise. The death of the Eldest Princess was indeed due to a disease!"

"Even if it is a disease, where did this disease come from?" The Emperor faintly glanced at Su Chen, "Su Aiqing, you have to investigate properly, if you let me do it, it will not be so simple."

Su Chen's heart sank violently.

The Emperor continued, "I think you need to go back and look into your madam. Investigate properly and determine what is going on.

Su Aiqing, I give you a month's time, I hope to get a satisfactory answer, within this month. I do not want anything to happen to Li'er again.

Also, Su Xin Zhen's matter, since it is already like this, the marriage with Ling'er can be forgotten. I will give you dignity in this matter. If you can convince the Qian family to tie the knot, say that the Second Prince has granted the two marriage."

Su Chen's voice trembled and he said in a hurry, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Go down. As for Li'er, she will stay by the Empress's side for a month. When you are done with the investigation, I will let Li'er go back."

Su Chen's hand clenched fiercely and he took a deep breath, "Yes."

Looking at Su Chen's back, the Emperor sat down. After taking a sip of tea, he said, "Su Chen is also a foolish one. Letting such a capable daughter like Li'er go and repeatedly hurting her. He went to go love those brainless ones."

Saying that, the Emperor shook his head and glanced at the desk. The news that Chen Dye passed over made the Emperor look angry.

"Your Majesty, is Lord Su also related to the death of the Eldest Princess?" Da Gouzi asked in confusion.

The Emperor shook his head: "I know he did not have the guts, but that Li Qianshi. She actually had the guts to buy Baichuan to say those things then naturally poisoning the Princess is also possible. After all, the Princess had to die before she could be promoted."

After a moment's pause, he continued, "Su Chen is also a stupid. He actually wants Li'er to replace Su Xin Zhen and take all the blame on herself. He really thinks that everyone who was in Putuo Temple is afraid of their Su family?

Even if the others are afraid, Shi'er is not afraid. Then there is still Xi'er, who defends Li'er, and more importantly, He Le is one whose eyes cannot tolerate sand."

Da Guozi laughed: "I'm afraid that Lord Su also just learned of this matter and did not think clearly. It's a pity for County Princess Suo Rou, if the Princess was still around, how could they be allowed to bully her ah!"

The Emperor nodded: "Yes, I thought Old Madam Su had a clear mind, but I did not expect that she chose to prioritize the Su family reputation as well.

It's just that, after all, there is still me and the Empress. Li'er gave me such a big surprise, the Eldest Princess also saved me. For these reasons, I should take good care of her."

Da Guozi said with a smile, "You are right. It is also fortunate that Country Princess Suo Rou has the Emperor and the Empress."

Su Mo Li had just arrived outside the Second Princess's palace when she was brought to the room by Zhong Li Xi who rushed out to meet her. As she instructed the palace maid to get food, she said, "Madam Su actually asked you to replace Su Xin Zhen? Is it true?"

"Where did you get the information from?" Su Mo Li looked at Zhong Li Xi in confusion.

Zhong Li Xi rolled her eyes with no shame: "Originally I did not know either, but I overheard the conversation between my brother and Xiao Guozi and only then did I know what happened in the Su family. This Li Qianshi is too shameless! If it wasn't for Mother stopping me and saying that Father would solve it, I would have rushed to the Su House.

Li'er, you are both my master and my good sister. You must tell me if you are wronged in the future, you know?

What a joke!"

Zhong Li Xi said while scolding Li Qianshi and Su Xin Zhen.

Su Mo Li picked up a book and said after reading it for a while, "Well, things have been settled, so don't think about it. Come, today there is just nothing to do, I will teach you to play the qin."

Saying that, Su Mo Li handed the written score to Zhong Li Xi: "This piece is very suitable for you."

Zhong Li Xi's eyes lit up after taking a look at it: "I like it! Li'er, can you play it for me first?"

Su Mo Li agreed. She walked behind the ancient guqin, stretched out her hand, and plucked the strings.

The sound of the qin came out.

Zhong Li Shi stopped, glanced at the palace not far away, and hooked his lips.

Xiao Guozi hurriedly said: "Is the Crown Prince going to the Second Princess? I heard that County Princess Suo Rou has come."

"Mm." Zhong Li Shi answered and led Xiao Guozi to walk over.

Xiao Guozi instantly felt that he was favored again and was very much valued by the Crown Prince. After all, who would talk to a personal eunuch about what he had found out. But the Crown Prince told him, and did so in great detail, as if he was afraid he wouldn't understand.

But he didn't know why, but when he asked about it later, the Crown Prince was reluctant to talk about it. Did he dislike his own stupidity?

When the song was finished, Zhong Li Xi's eyes shone brightly and she applauded vigorously, "That's good! I also want to learn it!"

"Well, come and play a song for me to hear."

Zhong Li Xi followed the score and began to play. Outside, Zhong Li Shi frowned and walked straight in.

"Brother?" Zhong Li Xi saw Zhong Li Shi and was very happy, "Brother, why are you here?"

"I came to visit." Zhong Li Shi walked in.

Su Mo Li stood up, saluted, and sat back down.

Zhong Li Xi smiled and said, "Brother, did you hear Li'er play the qin just now? It was really good!"

"Then why don't you continue to practice?" Zhong Li Shi raised his eyebrows.

Zhong Li Xi beamed and continued practicing.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Su Mo Li put down her tea cup and curled her lips.

Zhong Li Shi raised his eyebrows, "No need to thank."

Talking to smart people was so simple!

Su Mo Li thanked him. Naturally it was because the Crown Prince deliberately revealed to Zhong Li Xi that Li Qianshi wanted to replace her.

Soon, the Empress also came and was a bit surprised when she saw Zhong Li Shi.

"Li'er you can just live here in peace. Your mother's matter, the Emperor has intervened and will give you an explanation."

Su Mo Li was silent for a while, then she slowly said: "Empress, have you ever thought that my father is also a part of my mother's affairs? I don't think a concubine would dare to lay a hand on the Eldest Princess of the dynasty."

Su Mo Li's words took the crowd by surprise.

Zhong Li Shi took a deep look at Su Mo Li.

Zhong Li Xi opened her mouth and couldn't help but say, "Li'er, I don't think so, I don't think Lord Su is like the masses."

"Well, I'm just guessing."

Su Mo Li picked up the cup of tea and took a sip with a smile.

The Empress sighed and patted Su Mo Li's hand, slowly saying: "The Emperor will find out everything, you can rest assured is."

"Thank you, Empress."

After finishing the meal, the Empress and Zhong Li Shi left.

On the way, Zhong Li Shi slowly said, "Mother, what do you think of Su Mo Li?"

The Empress was a bit surprised. She obviously did not expect Zhong Li Shi would suddenly ask this question: "Why is Shi'er suddenly asking about Li'er? Or do you think there is something wrong with Li'er?"

The Empress continued without waiting for Zhong Li Shi to reply: "Li'er is also a poor person. It really makes people pity her, but she is a capable person herself, and has some relationship with Grandmaster Feng He. And although on the surface Miss Shi does not like Li'er, but this Empress knows that Miss Shi still defends Li'er.

You ah, also do not be deceived by gossip. In the end, she is your Aunt Huimin's daughter, how bad can she be?

As I see it, Li'er is a good child."

Zhong Li Shi laughed lightly: "Then Mother, if your son finds a Princess Consort like Su Mo Li in the future, what do you think?"

The Empress was even more surprised. She pondered for a moment and nodded: "Not bad."

"Mother, this son will go to the Imperial study first."

Zhong Li Shi swept his hand and turned to leave.

The Empress looked at Zhong Li Shi's back and felt it was a bit strange: "This child, why are his words so strange today? Is it possible that he has someone in mind?"

Momo Gui thought about it and said tentatively, "Your Majesty, you don't think that the Crown Prince has fallen in love with County Princess Suo Rou, right?"

The Empress' eyelids jumped and she and Momo Gui exchanged a glance, their faces filled with shock.

"Your Majesty, if it is true, what do you think?" Momo Gui said in a small voice.

The Empress rubbed her brow: "It's not that I don't think this girl Li'er is good. Just with her relationship with Grandmaster Feng and Miss Shi, it's okay to match with Shi'er. But after all, she was going to be the Second Prince's side concubine, this …"

Momo Gui smiled when she heard the words, "Your Majesty why do you think so much? His Highness the Crown Prince is powerful. Everything is earned by himself, now the only thing missing is the side-consort. As long as His Highness the Crown Prince likes her, it will be fine, don't you think so?

Compared to His Highness marrying a wrong-minded Crown Princess, the old slave feels that this County Princess Suo Rou is the top candidate. The main thing is, there is no one else in His Highness eyes ah!"

The Empress smiled: "You have a point. That child has always been one with ideas. Just let him toss around, we'll just watch."

After knowing that Su Mo Li had entered the palace, the Empress Dowager was also very happy and kept calling Su Mo Li over to chat.

Every day Su Mo Li taught Zhong Li Xi in the morning, then went with Zhong Li Xi to go to the Empress' palace to eat. She would accompany the Empress Dowager for two hours, and then go back to rest after the evening meal. Late at night, Su Mo Li would change into her night stalking clothes and either go to the East Palace or go to the Su House.

This night, Su Mo Li went to Shi Zhu's Mansion.

Shi Zhu gestured for Su Mo Li to sit down, and then said, "I went to Su Mansion these days to teach Su Jia Xuan to paint and had contact with Su Chen. I also went to the study several times under the name of painting for him and I searched everywhere I could, but I didn't see the so-called account book, so I thought, is it somewhere else?"

Su Mo Li shook her head, "It can't be elsewhere. Su Chen is a cautious person and with such an important thing, he would only keep it in front of his eyes."

Shi Zhu was silent for a moment and slowly said, "Then there is only one possibility, there is a secret passage.

But I didn't find the switch, after all, there wasn't enough time."

Su Mo Li nodded: "I'll go check it out."

Saying that, she walked out and directly hid in the darkness.

After arriving at the Su Mansion, Su Mo Li came directly outside the study.

There were quite a few experts protecting the outside of the study. Su Mo Li circled around and found that she could not easily get in, but she heard footsteps.

At once she rolled inside and hid inside the cabinet.

"Creak", the door opened.

Su Chen's voice rang out, "Are you sure they can't find out?"

"Master, don't worry, I knew how important that matter was back then. Everything was done by me alone, I didn't dare to hand it to others. No third person knows about it, only you and me."

Li Qianshi's voice came over.

Su Mo Li raised an eyebrow, she perked her ears and continued to listen.

Su Chen sighed: "I did not expect that the Emperor actually began to investigate the cause of Huimin's death. It seems, because of Li'er."

Li Qianshi grimaced: "Master, did Li'er find out something? Is it possible that she told the Emperor?"

"Impossible." Su Chen shook his head and said word by word, "Li'er was only five years old back then, how could she have known this? What's more important is …"

Su Chen looked at Li Qianshi: "We drugged Li'er back then, she was dizzy, it's impossible for her to know this.

So, it should be that the Emperor saw Li'er and that's why he thought of Huimin."

Su Chen clenched his fist: "We were careless, and we didn't expect that Li'er was actually acquainted with Grandmaster Feng He and Miss Shi."

Li Qianshi whispered, "If I had known, I shouldn't have picked up Li'er back then."

"What did you say?" Su Chen looked coldly at Li Qianshi.

Li Qianshi looked a little unnatural, but didn't dare to say anything else.

Su Chen coldly snorted, "If you hadn't paid off Baichuan, if you hadn't targeted Li'er again and again, how would Li'er have drifted away from us? The people that Li'er knows now, whether it's Feng He or Shi Zhu, will give our Su family access to huge benefits. Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?

Still, I'm warning you, if you dare to do anything to Li'er again, without my hand, the Emperor's people will make your life worse than death!"

Li Qianshi's heart jumped violently.

"Master, I, I didn't mean it, but what should we do now? The Emperor has already begun to suspect me, Master, you must save me!"

"All right!" Su Chen had a moment of annoyance. He looked at Li Qianshi and took a deep breath, "If you don't want to be found out by the Emperor, then you should treat Li'er well.

These days you have to convince the Emperor and Empress that you are treating Li'er as your own child, sending things, going to see her, it's all fine."

Li Qianshi was very upset in her heart, but she still agreed.

"Then, Master, what about the matter of Zhen'er …"

"I have already talked to the Qian family and let Zhen'er marry there." Su Chen face has a hint of helplessness, "Zhen'er can only do so now."

Li Qianshi of course was reluctant and immediately said, "But Zhen'er likes the Second Prince. Besides the Second Prince has not yet withdrawn from the marriage, could there be a change of heart?

Or how about letting Zhen'er go to the Second Prince, maybe there will be other opportunities to turn the situation around?"

Li Qianshi's words made Su Chen think about it and he felt that there was some truth to it, "Alright, then you can ask Zhen'er to look for the Second Prince tomorrow.

As for Huimin's matter, I will prepare things, so you should not interfere."

"Yes." Li Qianshi let out a sigh of relief and a faint smile surfaced on her face, "Master, it's getting late, why don't we go to bed."

Saying that, she came to Su Chen's side and wanted to have Su Chen undress.

However, her hand was held by Su Chen's hand: "You go back first, I still have some business matters to deal with."

Although Li Qianshi was reluctant, but there was nothing she could do. She could only bow her body and leave.

Su Chen walked towards the corner, getting closer and closer to the cabinet.

Su Mo Li's eyes narrowed coldly. She took a deep breath, calculated the distance, and was ready to rush out directly.

However, in the next second, something hit her and she dropped straight down.

It was instantaneous, but the pain made Su Mo Li frown.

Looking at a passage in front of her, she slowly stood up with a trace of surprise in her eyes. Obviously, she also did not expect to be hit and dropped. Su Chen actually dug a passage here!

Thinking of just Su Chen's footsteps, Su Mo Li's heart sank, and she quickly ran towards the front.

Then a sound rang out behind.

Su Mo Li knew then that Su Chen had followed her in!

She rushed straight to the bottom and found a room, which was empty, with only a bookshelf.

Behind her, the sound of footsteps became clearer and clearer …

At the moment when the owner of the footsteps approached, Su Mo Li's figure moved and disappeared …

70: Murder!

Su Chen slowly walked in, looked around, then walked to the two rows of bookshelves. He took out a red box, took out the account book inside, picked up a pen, wrote down a few words.

If Su Chen looked up, he would have seen Su Mo Li struggling to stick to the ceiling with her body that was already trembling.

The account book in Su Chen's hand was seen clearly by Su Mo Li. Her eyes shone brightly and she did not expect that the account book was actually here.

But, hanging on the ceiling, since there was no where to brace her body, she was about to fall down.

The good thing was Su Chen did not stay long. As soon as he turned around, Su Mo Li fell down and flew to the back of the cabinet.

Su Chen touched the back of his head, turned around to look, and saw that everything was normal. He had some doubts in his mind and felt that something was wrong.

Su Mo Li tried to slow down her breathing and watched Su Chen leave. She did not dare to come out and waited inside for half an hour before she came out and took out the account book. Looking at the contents if it, her eyes got cold and then she walked out quickly.

When she returned to Cui Zhu Yuan, it was already dawn.

After instructing Cheng Tao and Huang Fan to protect Su Jia Xuan, she quickly returned to the imperial palace.

As soon as she changed her clothes, she heard Zhong Li Xi's voice.

She forced a sleepy look, opened the door, and saw Zhong Li Xi happily standing outside: "Li'er, next month Father is going to take us hunting. Mother asked me to go over with you and have the tailors make a set of clothes to wear for hunting outing. Let's hurry over!"

Su Mo Li face also showed a happy smile: "Second Princess, wait for me, I will change my clothes."

With that, she quickly washed up, and only then went to the empress' palace with Zhong Li Xi.

As soon as they arrived, they saw palace maids coming and going, holding trays with a lot of jewelry and fabrics inside.

When Zhong Li Xi and Su Mo Li walked in, they saw the Empress smiling and talking to Momo Gui beside her.

And Shi Zhu was actually there.

"Mother! Shi Fu Zi." Zhong Li Xi walked over and gave a greet.

Su Mo Li followed and when she saw Shi Zhu, her eyes were cold: "What's wrong with your face?"

Saying that, she came closer to Shi Zhu and looked at the whip marks on the right side of her face.

This question attracted the attention of the Empress and Zhong Li Xi. The two looked over and Zhong Li Xi exclaimed, "Shi Fu Zi, what is the injury on your face ah?"

Shi Zhu put down her teacup and said indifferently, "Nothing much, just hurt by the Eldest Princess accidentally."

Su Mo Li stared at Shi Zhu.

The Empress glanced at Momo Gui, who nodded and quickly left.

"Will you tell me yourself, or will you wait for the Empress to inquire and tell me?" Su Mo Li still used her usual soft voice, but the Empress and Zhong Li Xi both felt something was wrong at once.

Zhong Li Xi stole a glance at Su Mo Li. Obviously she had a smile on her face and was still the same old Su Mo Li, but she couldn't help but be afraid.

Shi Zhu coughed dryly twice and did not to look at Su Mo Li: "Nothing is wrong, except that the Eldest Princess asked me to take her as a disciple and I refused."

"So she struck you?" Su Mo Li continued to ask.

"Mm." Shi Zhu answered vaguely.

Zhong Li Xi said incredulously, "She went too far! Isn't she already a disciple of Grandmaster Feng He? How can … she's going too far! How dare she make a move against Shi Fu Zi!"

Saying that, Zhong Li Xi was about to go to Zhong Li Lan.

But she was pulled back by the Empress.

The Empress' face had a helpless expression: "You girl, if you go over now, will Zhong Li Lan admit to it? If she doesn't admit it and then turns around and says you're bullying her, what will you do?"

Zhong Li Xi froze. Indeed, this is what Zhong Li Lan would do.

Su Mo Li however took a deep look at Shi Zhu. She then looked at the Empress: "Let's keep this matter quiet in advance. I think Miss Shi can solve it herself."

The Empress nodded: "Okay, I won't forget to mention this matter to the Emperor, so don't worry."

Zhong Li Xi then smiled: "Mother, you must tell Father and let him know how excessive Zhong Li Lan is! If I may say so, it's a blessing for us that Shi Fu Zi came to teach us how to draw, but I didn't expect Zhong Li Lan to force Shi Fu Zi like this. Shi Fu Zi, why don't you go and report her?"

Shi Zhu curled her lips and said with a smile, "Nothing, just like what the Empress said, the Eldest Princess will not admit it."

After the fabric and clothes were chosen, Zhong Li Xi was held back in the palace by the Empress so she could teach her some things.

When Su Mo Li and Shi Zhu left, they just ran into Momo Gui who had returned. Su Mo Li stopped Momo Gui and asked what was going on.

Momo Gui didn't hide anything. She said the same thing as Shi Zhu, that is, Zhong Li Lan dragged Shi Zhu to a remote place and then made her move.

After saying thanks, Su Mo Li and Shi Zhu left.

When they left the Empress' palace, Shi Zhu immediately said, "I will handle this matter myself, don't mess around!"

"What mess around?" Su Mo Li smiled is looking at Shi Zhu, "I never mess around, but you, your nature is fiery and explosive. This time, the fact that you can endure, is it because of me?"

Shi Zhu eyes were a little flustered. After glaring at Su Mo Li, she lightly laughed: "Don't think that your face is gold. Why would it be because of you? I just think that after all, this is the imperial palace- It is better to be more restrained. Although I am quite famous, if they want to kill me, it is not impossible to do so."

"Shi Zhu." Su Mo Li frowned, "The matter in the capital, the matter of the Su family, I can do it myself. I don't need you and Grandmaster Feng He's help. You don't need to stay here because of me."

Shi Zhu raised an eyebrow, "What, are you looking down on us?

Don't worry, we won't cause you any trouble. Besides, with us around, no one will dare to bully you!"

Shi Zhu's words were like a warm stream that gushed into Su Mo Li's heart.

"My friend also can't be bullied like this." Su Mo Li looked at Shi Zhu and said word by word, "Since Zhong Li Lan dares to hit you, you always have to return the favor."

After saying that, Su Mo Li circled around and came to Zhong Li Lan's palace with Shi Zhu.

Who knew where Zhong Li Lan had gone, but she had just returned.

"Eldest Princess." Su Mo Li directly called out to Zhong Li Lan, "Did you hit and cause the injury on Miss Shi's face?"

When Zhong Li Lan saw Su Mo Li, she frowned. After sweeping a glance at Shi Zhu, she showed a disdainful smile, "What, Miss Shi went to complain to County Princess Suo Rou? You might as well have gone to Imperial Father and complained directly to the Emperor. A mere County Princes, what can you do to me?

Yes, it is true that I hit Shi Zhu, so what? Do you really think that because you know how to paint, you are great? Just a pariah yet they hold you in high esteem, but not me! Only people like my master, who are famous in all four countries, deserve my respect!

Just a mere you, you're only somewhat famous in our country is all."

Zhong Li Lan moved closer towards here Shi Zhu: "Not to mention that just now I hit you in a deserted place, even now if I hit you, you will also suffer for me!"

Shi Zhu sneered: "Really a unknowledgeable fool. Four countries?"

Shi Zhu directly took out four gold medals of immunity of death: "Recognize them? Four countries' unlimited immunity gold medals. This painting immortal's name, you really think I'm just the painting immortal of the Fengyun country?

Because I ignored you, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Zhong Li Lan looked at Shi Zhu incredulously. Her small face filled with anger and her hand pointed directly at Shi Zhu: "You!"

*Slap!*

Su Mo Li directly flung a slap over. Before Zhong Li Lan could react, Su Mo Li directly held her finger: "Didn't your mother tell you that it's impolite to casually point your finger at people?"

"Ouch!"

Zhong Li Lan only felt her face burning hot. She was actually hit by a minister's daughter!

Even if that's not enough, this person even threatened her!

"Su Mo Li! Are you going to rebel!"

The maids around Zhong Li Lan also reacted: "Let go of the princess! How dare you offend your superiors! You don't want to live! Let go of the princess!"

Su Mo Li directly kicked the maid away and backhandedly slapped Zhong Li Lan's face: "Since the Emperor's Noble Consort doesn't have time to teach you, I, as your master, don't mind teaching you well!

You're right, you actually insulted your superiors. Do you want to be expelled from your master?"

Su Mo Li sneered as she looked at Zhong Li Lan. She directly let her go and Zhong Li Lan was unstable and fell to the ground.

"Pri … Prince?" Xiao Guozi looked at everything in front of him incredulously, "This, is this really County Princess Suo Rou? Why do I feel like it's not ah …"

Zhong Li Shi was also passing by this place. He just happened to see Su Mo Li, so he walked over, not expecting to see this scene.

Zhong Li Shi curled the corner of his lips: "This is what she originally looked like."

Xiao Guozi looked at Zhong Li Shi in shock and was about to say something when he saw Su Mo Li directly choking Zhong Li Lan's neck.

The people of Zhong Li Lan's palace quickly rushed out and tried to free Zhong Li Lan, however, they were knocked down to the ground by Su Mo Li alone.

Su Mo Li sneered, "What? Really think I'm easy to bully?"

"You …" Zhong Li Lan's eyes were filled with panic, "You were pretending!"

Su Mo Li eyes flashed a trace of killing intent. The anger in her heart quickly surged and a blood-red appeared in front of her eyes. The look on her face became more and more cold-blooded, and her eyes were emotionless when she looked at Zhong Li Lan.

Zhong Li Lan was scared and moved backwards step by step: "You, what do you want?"

Su Mo Li, however, did not answer her, but slowly walked towards Zhong Li Lan.

"Li'er!" Shi Zhu directly held Su Mo Li's hand, her face full of anxiety, "Okay, okay, we've taken revenge."

The familiar voice, however, did not make Su Mo Li return to her senses. She directly shook off Shi Zhu's hand and continued to walk forward.

Shi Zhu's face became more and more anxious, calling out loudly, "Li'er! You wake up! Look at me! Li'er!"

Zhong Li Shi frowned fiercely and quickly walked over. Seeing Su Mo Li's hand about to touch Zhong Li Lan, Zhong Li Shi directly yanked Su Mo Li's hand and pulled Su Mo Li into his arms.

Su Mo Li immediately fought back, and the two began fighting directly!

Shi Zhu whole body was shocked. This… if other people found out …

The consequences were unimaginable!

And Zhong Li Lan is quickly climbed up, while running while screaming: "Help! Murder! Su Mo Li is going to kill me!"
