Chapter 181 No Way to Defend Yourself (5)

Unfortunately, besides Su Luo herself, no one knew about her rapidly increasing cultivation speed.

Her nominal father was even less aware.

However, Su Zi'an's words did implicate Su Luo, and the Crown Prince simply steered the conversation back to the main topic. He smiled faintly and said, "General Su, your residence seems quite lively?"

With the Crown Prince present, Su Zi'an no longer wanted to continue the interrogation.

Because family shame should not be aired publicly.

If the Crown Prince were to know what happened to Su Wan, then… it might affect his and Su Xi's potential marriage.

After all, although they had mutual intentions, the imperial decree of marriage had not truly been issued yet.

Su Zi'an cleared his throat twice to cover his embarrassment, giving a dry laugh. "Please forgive the disturbance, Your Highness. It's really nothing major, just some squabbling between the girls. Please forgive the disturbance, please forgive the disturbance."

Su Zi'an's hint was very obvious. He didn't want this matter to continue, at least not while the Crown Prince and others were present. He wanted it to stop here for now.

However, the Crown Prince seemed not to have heard the hint in his words. He sat upright on his high seat, raising an eyebrow at Su Luo with a half-smile. "Oh? It's the Fourth Miss of your residence again? It seems General Su is still a bit lacking in teaching his daughters."

"Yes, yes, please forgive the disturbance, Your Highness," Su Zi'an quickly interjected. He was just about to change the subject.

But who knew, the Crown Prince spoke a step ahead of him. "Just now at the entrance, this Mr. Mo seemed to want to accuse someone? I didn't mishear, did I?"

His Highness the Crown Prince had clearly latched onto this matter and refused to let go.

Su Zi'an had miscalculated.

He hadn't expected the Crown Prince to be so narrow-minded.

Because of Su Luo's single remark back then about the Crown Prince being impotent, His Highness the Crown Prince had completely taken a dislike to Su Luo.

It was fine when he didn't see her on a daily basis, but now that he just happened to encounter her, if he didn't take the opportunity to kick her when she was down, he wouldn't be His Highness the Crown Prince.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Su Zi'an's forehead. He gave Mr. Mo a look with a grim face, hoping Mr. Mo would discreetly withdraw.

But, what kind of person was Mr. Mo?

An opportunist most skilled at reading expressions and situations.

General Su's previous official prestige might have been able to intimidate him, but compared to His Highness the Crown Prince, General Su's rank was lower.

Moreover, for some unknown reason, Madam Su also didn't show any intention of stopping Mr. Mo.

Thus, Mr. Mo pretended not to have received General Su's hint. He bowed to His Highness the Crown Prince and said, "Reporting to Your Highness, the person this humble one wishes to accuse is… is the Fourth Miss mentioned just now!"

Su Luo? It really is her!

The Crown Prince's phoenix eyes lifted high, a cold killing intent swirling in their depths. He said slowly, "Oh? You want to accuse our Fourth Miss? Accuse her of what?"

Su Zi'an felt incredibly frustrated.

He knew that no matter what he did now, he couldn't hide it.

Since it couldn't be hidden, then so be it. He might as well take this opportunity to clean up the household.

Anyway, he didn't lack daughters, he didn't lack daughters with exceptional talent who brought him pride.

Therefore, Su Zi'an merely maintained a calm expression and remained silent.

Seeing all eyes focused on him, Mr. Mo raised his gaze, his eyes filled with determination and clarity. He said solemnly, "Your Highness is unaware, but previously someone came to the Mercenary Guild to post a task to defile the Third Miss Su, and the person who posted that task was the Fourth Miss Su!"

"Whoosh—" As soon as Mr. Mo finished speaking.

They heard a collective gasp from all around.
