Su Yingxue had been in prison. Now, suddenly back at the Marquisâs Manor,
Liu Shulan was shocked upon seeing her. âYouâ¦â
Seeing Chu Yihan beside her, Liu Shulan became immediately alert. âYour Highness, forgive me for not welcoming your visit.â
Chu Yihan paid her no attention. He escorted Su Yingxue to Su Dinghengâs courtyard.
Liu Shulan, sensing trouble, blocked them at the door. âYour Highness, what is your intention? Though you possess a noble status, even if you were to enter Marquisâs Manor uninvited, I wouldnât dare to stop you. But the person you bring along is the murderer of Marquis. 1 cannot allow her near Marquis.â
Chu Yihanâs gaze turned cold and intimidating. âStep aside!â
Despite her frantic heartbeat, Liu Shulan persisted at the courtyard entrance. âYour Highness, please excuse me. I cannot permit Su Yingxue to enter Marquisâs courtyard.â
Su Yingxue stood silently behind Chu Yihan, observing Liu Shulanâs actions.
Chu Yihan was patient only with Su Yingxue. He gestured, and Mo Qi threw Liu Shulan aside, clearing the way for Chu Yihan and Su Yingxue.
Liu Shulan wanted to step forward to stop him, but Chu Yihanâs Shadow Guard immediately brandished his blade.
The snow-white blade flashed with a sharp cold light. Liu Shulan couldnât get close. She gritted her teeth in anger, but she didnât dare to.
She summoned a servant from her courtyard, instructing him, âQuickly go to the Capital Prefecture and inform Lord Liang that Su Yingxue has been brought back to the Marquisâs Manor by the Ninth Prince and is aiming to harm the Marquis!â
The messenger left.
Liu Shulan paced outside, contemplating the advantages and disadvantages of Su Yingxueâs return.
Amid her thoughts, Su Yurou arrived, impulsively rushing in. âSu Yingxue, this b*tch dares to come back! I wonât let her treat Father!â
Liu Shulan restrained her. âFoolish child, the Ninth Prince and his men are guarding. Do you wish to risk entering?â
Still feeling the pain from her fall, Liu Shulan couldnât allow Su Yurou to put herself in jeopardy again.
Su Yurou clenched her handkerchief in frustration. âMother, are we going to fear Su Yingxue and the Ninth Prince? If Su Yingxue saves Father, heâll be grateful to her. Hasnât your plan failed again?â
Liu Shulanâs eyes flickered with coldness. âShe must have the ability to save him!â
Long Shuli was dead. Was there anyone else with medical skills surpassing that manâs?
âThe Ninth Prince is there, even if she were to cure Father to death, Iâm afraid the Ninth Prince wouldnât make her bear the guilt! This b*tch, 1 donât know how she managed to catch the eye of the Ninth Prince!â This was what infuriated Su Yurou the most.
Despite all her efforts to attract the Seventh Princeâs attention, she dared not even dream of the supreme Ninth Prince!
But Su Yingxue managed to captivate him!
And she even lured back the Seventh Prince!
Now, she had nothing but was doted upon by the Ninth Prince!
âThatâs not certain! In the Great Cheng Dynasty, itâs the Ninth Prince who holds the final say! If she kills your fatherâ¦â
Liu Shulanâs eyes glinted with scheming. She pulled Su Yurou closer and whispered, âGo to the palace and inform the empress.â
Chu Yihan escorted Su Yingxue to Su Dinghengâs side. Su Dinghengâs health was deteriorating, and he seemed delirious. At the sight of Su Yingxue, he cried out, âShuli, save me! Shuli, save meâ¦. It was my fault, 1 shouldnât have taken another wife! Donât abandon me, save me!â
