Su Yurou was alone and helpless. She cried for a long time in Su Dingheng’s courtyard, but Su Denheng did not bother with her anymore.
Later, a messenger from the Seventh Prince’s residence came to fetch her. In Su Yurou’s bleak world, it seemed like a ray of light had been ignited.
She promptly boarded the carriage.
In front of Chu Chengye, she couldn’t control herself and rushed to hug him. “Your Highness, please help Rou’er seek justice. Rou’er’s mother was killed by Su Yingxue… Sob, sob, sob!”
Chu Chengye didn’t push her away, but the warmth he once felt for her had diminished.
Normally, just a touch of her soft body would make him blush, but now, as she clung to him , he found it uninspiring.
After Su Yurou finished crying, he patiently listened to her account of the recent events in the Marquis’s Manor.
Su Yurou, with a glint of hatred in her eyes, vividly described Su Yingxue’s actions with embellishments.
Seeing Chu Chengye’s furrowed brow, a glimmer of hope ignited in Su Yurou’s heart. Leaning against his chest, she coquettishly pleaded, “Your Highness, Rou’er’s mother was killed. Now, Rou’er only has you. You must avenge Rou’er! Su Yingxue, she…”
“If Su Yingxue truly poisoned your father, why would she save him? Your story is riddled with inconsistencies and contradicts the information I’ve gathered.” Chu Chengye’s brows furrowed, and he was eager to know more about Su Yingxue.
However, Su Yurou’s narrative was not aligned with what he wanted to hear.
“Your Highness…” Su Yurou’s unfocused gaze held disbelief. “Did you not summon me because you missed Rou’er? Why do you care so much about Su Yingxue?”
A trace of discomfort flashed across Chu Chengye’s handsome face. He was reluctant to admit that he sought news about Su Yingxue.
Impatiently, he released Su Yurou. “You can go back now.”
“Your Highness, I…” Su Yurou clung to Chu Chengye as if he were a lifesaver. “Your Highness, Su Yingxue is so cruel. She will surely kill me! Your Highness, please protect Rou’er!”
Su Yurou’s soft form pressed against him. In the past, Chu Chengye had easily succumbed to her charms, but now, facing a woman who actively sought him out, he felt no interest. He was even somewhat repulsed.
He forcefully removed Su Yurou’s embrace and pushed her aside. “Enough, go back! As a woman, you should maintain some modesty.”
“Your Highness… If Rou’er lacks modesty, it’s because Rou’er is deeply moved by Your Highness. That’s the reason for my behavior.”
Su Yurou closed her eyes, made a decision, and untied her belt, revealing her smooth shoulders.
She pressed her tender skin against Chu Chengye and ran her soft hands across his chest. “Your Highness, please don’t send me away . Rou’er is willing to serve Your Highness…”
“Enough! If you still want to be an innocent woman, immediately return to the Marquis’s Manor, and don’t come here again!”
Chu Chengye’s eyes showed annoyance. Seeing Su Yurou’s exposed body only further diminished his interest.
Almost as if venting his frustration, he casually remarked, “Even Su Yingxue wouldn’t behave like you.”
Su Yurou’s tense heart suddenly snapped. Despairingly, she covered herself. “Your Highness, is Su Yingxue the only one in your heart now? Did you call me here today just to hear about Su Yingxue?”
Chu Chengye, feeling exposed, waved his hand in frustration. “Get lost! Don’t appear in front of me!”
“Your Highness, where exactly do I fall short compared to Su Yingxue? You clearly said in the past that I am the one you like the most….”
