If the empress wanted to get rid of her, he could live an extra two years!
“Father, isn’t she your daughter?” Su Hao gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with extreme disappointment.
“She did such a thing herself. What does she expect me to do for her?” Su Dingheng’s face was thick.
He only wanted a worry-free daughter like Su Yurou, not someone like Su Yingxue…
He couldn’t be bothered to waste his energy.
“Oh? What heinous deed have I committed to make Father so angry with me?” Su Yingxue walked out from the corner.
She held the red jade soft whip in her hand, and her pair of clear and intelligent eyes turned slyly like a little deer with fox eyes.
“Su Yingxue!” The empress almost staggered backward.
She thought, “Wasn’t she supposed to be in the room?”
Su Yurou looked as if she had seen a ghost. “Sister, aren’t you…” Deceived by Chu Xiuwen?
She thought, “How could she appear perfectly fine? What was Chu Xiuwen doing?”
“Ah! Please spare me, Your Highness! Help!”
In the room, the woman’s screams became more and more shrill.
When Chu Mingyuan saw that Su Yingxue was unharmed, his face darkened. He immediately slapped the empress. “This is your management of the harem! You’ve lost all face!”
“Emperor, emperor, don’t be angry! 1 didn’t know what happened inside! Perhaps… Perhaps someone had framed Xiuwen! He’s your beloved son!” Empress clung to Chu Mingyuan’s thigh.
Chu Mingyuan could be disappointed in her and ignore her, but he couldn’t be disappointed in Chu Xiuwen!
“Whether it’s a frame-up or not, we’ll know once the door is opened, right? I have just arrived and don’t know what happened inside! Everyone is here to watch the show!” Su Yingxue’s voice was crisp and clear. Her intelligent eyes turned around, revealing a charming charm amidst her purity.
Lin Sisi held her arm and shouted loudly, “This is the Third Prince’s wing. There’s a woman inside. Your sister just accused you and said that you seduced the Third Prince!”
“Really?” Su Yingxue held her heart and looked heartbroken. “Yurou, 1 didn’t expect you to talk behind my back, and now you’re openly accusing me like this! I even thought of pleading for you, hoping you could marry the Seventh Prince sooner!”
“I… I didn’t! Sister, don’t talk nonsense!” Su Yurou’s face turned red and then pale. With Su Yingxue’s unfounded accusations, all the officials’ and noblewomen’s disdainful eyes fell upon her.
She and Chu Chengye had feelings for each other. Although it was obvious to everyone, it was a different story after this little revelation.
Especially Chu Chengye, who felt extremely uncomfortable when he heard this. “Su Yingxue, don’t spread baseless rumors. It’s not up to you to decide my marriage!”
When the bystanders heard this, they felt that Chu Chengye was trying to defend his innocence.
When Su Yurou heard this, with her subtle insight, deduced that Chu Chengye didn’t want to marry her, which was why he spoke so!
Does he really have feelings for Su Yingxue?
Su Yurou fell heavily to the ground, her face turned pale.
“Enough! None of the Su family’s daughters are worthy of marrying a prince! All of you get lost!” The empress, having brought trouble upon herself, now had to bear the consequences.
When she saw Su Yingxue and her sister, she harbored thoughts of killing them both.
“Your Highness, the door hasn’t opened yet. It’s not appropriate for us to leave now, right? What if there was a noble young lady inside who was taken advantage of by the Third Prince but could not get a status?” When Su Yingxue said this, all the madams and noblewomen anxiously went to look for their daughters.
They were afraid that one of them might have been violated by Chu Xiuwen..
