After Marrying a Vegetative Princess, I Went Crazy With Joy!

Chapter 38: Su Li’s Suspicions!

Chapter 38: Su Li’s Suspicions!

There was no point in daydreaming anymore. Su Li sincerely felt that Gao Yang seemed suspicious, but she wasnt in a hurry. He instructed the maid to directly reject Gao Yang if she came again.

Su Li furrowed his brow, and a troubling thought crossed his mind. No way

Before Su Li could delve further into his thoughts, he noticed Gao Yangs expression changed. She suppressed the arrogant smirk on her lips and stood up from the ground.

She spoke softly, Brother-in-law, I came to visit my sister!

Despite Gao Yangs words, her footsteps showed no intention of going inside to visit Princess Changle. Instead, she remained fixed in place, gazing intently at Su Lis handsome face.

Su Lis appearance was undeniably top-notch and strikingly handsome. Years of living as a peasant had left his complexion less fair and delicate, but it exuded masculinity. He possessed a captivating face with sharp features, a pair of well-defined and piercing eyes, and an angular jawlinea face that adhered to the standards of mainstream male aesthetics.

Su Li frowned as he looked at the obsessed Gao Yang standing before him, finding it difficult to understand her behavior. She was only ten years old

Though ten-year-old Gao Yang was already quite attractive, being Li Shimins daughter ensured her possession of excellent genes, guaranteeing she wouldnt grow up to be unattractive. But that was the extent of it. Su Li couldnt understand how a ten-year-old girl could behave so outrageously.

Su Li refrained from starting a fight with Gao Yang and instead guided her into the inner room to visit Princess Changle. Following the commotion at the door earlier, the maid had already cleaned up Princess Changle and dressed her in proper attire.

Once inside, Gao Yangs attention wasnt on her elder sister Princess Changle, but rather on Su Li, eager to engage in conversation. Her words were intense and even provocative. It was difficult to understand that she was a ten-year-old girl.

Su Li frequently furrowed his brow, choosing not to respond to Gao Yangs attempts at conversation. He focused on taking care of Princess Changle, paying no heed to Gao Yangs persistent presence.

For Princess Changle, this felt more like a nightmare. After experiencing such a situation today, she could no longer consider her younger sister, Princess Gao Yang as naive. Now, she could even sense Gao Yang sitting comfortably by her bedside, shamelessly chatting with Su Li, and even flirting.

Princess Changle, relying on her intuition as a woman, keenly sensed Gao Yangs ill intentions and speculated about her with utmost hatred.

She thought, This foolish woman

Su Li noticed Gao Yang getting closer and subtly moved away. He couldnt understand how someone so foolish could exist, but it didnt surprise him that she could engage in an affair with a monk, manipulate her husband into rebelling, and ultimately end up getting him killed.

Although Gao Yangs words were cryptic, her body unconsciously moved closer

One must remember that he was Princess Changles husband, Gao Yangs brother-in-law, and Princess Changle was lying on the bed at that moment.

What kind of princess  engages in such behavior Su Li said while furrowing his brow. Su Lis understanding of something lead  the female officer to mention Princess Gao Yang, which implied that the female officer and Princess Gao Yang were friendly with each other.

Could it be that they were fake sisters? Su Li thought.

Su Li simply hated Gao Yangs hypocrisy, and it was undeniably a nightmare for Princess Changle. She couldnt put a stop to it all. She could only bravely attempt to draw her husbands attention while keeping the culprit in mind.

Thankfully, Su Li continued to provide her with comfort, as he always did. He held her hand, and Princess Changle could sense the indifference in his wordsa distance usually reserved for strangers. This was an indifference she had never encountered before.

In the past, every word spoken by Su Li by her side was gentle, warm, and reassuring. Regardless of the situation, Su Lis tone was consistently gentle. There had never been such indifference before. Changle wondered if her own husband sensed something.

It was the first time Changle felt such a cold gesture from her husband, which oddly made her feel more at ease compared to his previous gentleness. Su Lis steadfast indifference now served as her strongest barrier and fortress.

Su Li glanced at the increasingly arrogant Gao Yang in front of him, feeling extremely disgusted.

Suddenly, he spoke in a cold and icy tone, addressing Gao Yang, Next time, Changle will undergo treatment. It is inconvenient for others to be present. Please go back, princess.

Gao Yangs warm expression paused, and she looked at Su Lis hand tightly clasping Changles, showing a trace of jealousy.

This is my elder sister. Do I still need to be cautious about it? Perhaps its wounded pride? Or perhaps its something else? Princess Gao Yang thought.

Gao Yang was very displeased with Su Lis attitude. After all, he was just a commoner. How could he be so indifferent, relying solely on his attractive appearance? Why not? He was just a lucky guy.

Of course, Su Li could sense Gao Yangs alienation and indifference.

Princess, please forgive me. Allow me to see off the guests, he said, not wanting any further communication with Gao Yang.

The current situation clearly revealed that the friendship between Gao Yang and Princess Changle was merely for appearances, and Gao Yang was nothing more than a fake sister to Princess Changle. There was no need to argue with her.

The female officer dutifully carried out Su Lis order. It wasnt until the officer returned to the room that Su Li suddenly spoke up. Are Changle and Princess Gao Yang very close? he asked.

Princess Gao Yang lost her mother at a young age, and His Majesty does not favor her. Princess Changle has always been close to her, the female officer replied.

Hmm Su Li nodded.

By the way, Ive been here for so long, and I still dont know how Princess Changle fell into a coma, Su Li said, looking at the female officer.

Princess Changle is always close to Princess Gao Yang the female officer began.

In short, Princess Changles maid stayed at Princess Gao Yangs mansion that day, and Princess Changle had an asthma attack, coincidentally without her medication.

It could be too late when the imperial doctor arrived, Su Li thought.

An asthma attack could easily lead to suffocation, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain and causing nerve damage. This explained why Princess Changle became comatose after the incident. It seemed like an accident, but upon careful consideration of Princess Gao Yangs hypocrisy, Su Li couldnt help but doubt its true nature.

However, Su Li didnt believe that Gao Yangs less-than-intelligent mind could have orchestrated such a thing openly.

There must be something useful, Su Li mused, looking at her collection of miscellaneous items.

In the past few days, he had acquired various things that might prove valuable in the long run, apart from seasonings. One item caught his attention, the Truth Telling Potion. It had the power to compel the person who consumed it, to tell the truth when asked a question, with the option to activate its effects at a chosen time.

But then Su Li reconsidered. Changle was still unconscious, and causing further disturbances might only hinder her recovery. Moreover, as a victim, Changle might already know the truth. There was no need to resort to the truth-telling potion based solely on suspicion.

Ill wait until Changle wakes up, Su Li thoughtfully decided while frowning.

Once Changle regained consciousness, he could directly ask her about the incident. If Gao Yang truly had a hand in it, he could use the truth-telling potion to uncover the whole truth. Changles testimony and Gao Yangs confession would be more substantial evidence.

Su Li didnt want to waste too much time dwelling on Gao Yang. By the way, when Gao Yang visits in the future, make excuses to avoid her, Su Li instructed.

He knew it was better to focus on Changles recovery and gather concrete evidence before taking any further actions.
