Chapter 377: Brother
The eldest princess knew that the prince consort would run here as soon as he came in, so she hurried over here, but who knew that she saw the prince consort slap her daughter.
She stepped forward angrily: "What are you doing? How could you hit Qianqian..."
Su Qianqian looked at her father in disbelief. Her father had loved her the most since she was a child. Not to mention hitting her, even touching him was not allowed.
"You hit me? Father, you actually hit me..."
Su Fang hit his daughter in a fit of desperation and now regretted it very much. But when he thought that his son and daughter really had that kind of relationship, he immediately put away his guilt.
"As long as she promises to break up with Shen Cuo completely in the future, I can let her fight back."
The princess opened her mouth wide: "Prince consort, what are you talking about? You are Qianqian's father, how could she fight with you, let alone..."
"As long as she can completely break up with Shen Cuo, it doesn't matter if she hits me."
The princess immediately realized something: "Su Fang, what do you mean by this? Who is that Shen Cuo?"
Su Fang didn't say anything, but just looked up at the eldest princess, who almost fell down.
"How is this possible? Didn't he say that he already..."
"It's absolutely true, how could it be false?"
The princess was supported by her maid, and it took her a while to regain her composure. She turned to look at Su Qianqian and said, "Daughter, your father has only the right reason to do this. You might as well listen to your father and break up with that man completely."
Su Qianqian was very smart. She saw that there was something else behind her father and mother's words and knew that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
"Mother, who is Shen Cuo? Why don't you support your daughter?"
What could the princess say? She patted her daughter's hand and said, "Just remember, any man in this world can be her, except him."
Now it was Su Qianqian's turn who couldn't accept it. Because she hadn't eaten enough in the past few days, she felt dizzy and passed out.
Su Fang hugged her daughter lovingly: "Qianqian, Qianqian..."
"Quick, call the imperial physician!"
When Su Qianqian woke up, it was already late at night. The eldest princess and the prince consort were both guarding her room. Seeing her wake up, the prince consort happily called the servants to bring her food.
Su Qianqian was slapped by Su Fang and felt very aggrieved. Seeing her father personally bringing soup to feed her, tears fell from her eyes.
Su Fang was heartbroken: "It's father's fault. Father shouldn't have done that. Father was also afraid of you..."
"Is my daughter such a frivolous person in her father's eyes?"
"Of course not. My daughter Su Fang is the best girl in the world. It was because my father was too anxious that he said something he shouldn't have said. He even hit you. Now my father is very distressed. My good daughter, please don't be angry with me."
Seeing her father apologizing to her like this, she felt bad and spoke softly: "I am also wrong. I shouldn't say that about my father. Father, please don't be angry with me. Let's talk it out, okay?"
Before she fell into a coma, her parents were obviously talking about something else. Now she just wanted to know what Shen Cuo's identity was that made both of her parents so nervous.
Since his daughter said so, there was no reason for Su Fang to refuse.
"My dear daughter, eat your porridge first. After that, we can talk."
After eating two bowls of porridge, Su Qianqian finally felt better: "Father, Mother, who is this Shen Cuo? Why don't you two let me have contact with him?"
The eldest princess and her husband looked at each other, and neither of them spoke first.
Seeing that the two were silent, Su Qianqian continued, "Father, mother, and I are not ignorant people. If I knew the reason, I would not embarrass mother, nor would I do anything to embarrass you."
The princess sighed, "Qianqian has always been sensible. Let's not keep this a secret any longer. It's better to ease the situation than to block it."
Su Fang put down the bowl in his hand. He knew that the eldest princess was right. He knew his daughter's character very well. If he didn't explain it clearly, who knows what trouble might arise.
"Before I married your mother, I had another wife. You should know this."
Su Qianqian nodded. Her parents did not deliberately hide this matter from her.
"That one is the eldest daughter of the Shen family, Shen Qingyu, right?"
Su Fang nodded: "It's her. I have a son with her!"
Just this one sentence made Su Qianqian's hair stand on end: "You mean, he is..."
Su Fang nodded: "Yes."
Su Qianqian was completely dumbfounded: "How could it be, why would it be... Could it be, then, did he save me..."
Su Fang shook his head: "I don't know, but he knew I was his father. I think at least he tried to get close to you later."
Su Qianqian just sat there, her whole body looking as if it was broken into pieces.
The eldest princess felt so distressed when she saw her daughter like this: "Qianqian..."
Su Fang also looked worried: "Qianqian..."
Su Qianqian seemed not to have heard anything. She slowly lay down, pulled up the quilt, and closed her eyes...
"I want to sleep for a while..."
The eldest princess wanted to persuade her, but Su Fang held her back. He shook his head slightly at her, indicating that he should let his daughter be alone for a while.
After the two of them walked out, Su Qianqian could no longer control her tears, and tears flowed from her tightly closed eyes...
The Duke's Mansion.
Liu Rulan has been staying at home since she came back. She didn't even go to the banquet held in the palace, and naturally the Duke's wife didn't go either.
The best thing to do now is to stay in the house, not go anywhere, and wait quietly for everyone to forget about it, forget about the fact that they were kidnapped.
Knowing that Lu Shi'an was married to the prince as a concubine, Liu Rulan got very angry.
"Is the emperor blind? He actually let a village girl be the prince's concubine. It's simply laughable."
The Duke heard this and angrily rebuked: "How dare you say such a thing? If this gets to the ears of the Emperor, our Duke's Mansion will be finished."
Liu Rulan cried in grievance, and the Duke's wife protected her daughter unhappily: "Why are you shouting so loudly? Is what my daughter said wrong? Isn't Lu Shian just a village girl? What else can she do besides handling food?"
"Women's opinions, really women's opinions, you'd better be honest, don't cause trouble, and don't go against her Lu Shian. The status of the crown prince is what everyone wants. It's not surprising for me to marry the Qin family's daughter, but he can make her a concubine. It shows that the queen mother and the crown prince like her."
"The Queen Mother likes her? How could the Queen Mother like a woman like her?" Liu Rulan didn't believe it.
"What do you know? As soon as Lu Shi'an arrived in Anjing, she showed her face in front of the Queen Mother. She is smart and thought of ways to make the Queen Mother happy. The Queen Mother was very pleased. So there is no obstacle for the Prince to marry her."
"I didn't expect she was such a calculating little bitch."
"That's enough. Don't mess with her anyway."
The Lantern Festival came in a blink of an eye. The capital city of An was much more lively on this day than New Year's Eve. Nanxing came to find Lu Shian early in the morning.
