After rebirth, my elder sister wants to steal my husband!

When Su Ran heard this, her face turned pale as paper. She bit her lower lip tightly and looked at the old emperor in disbelief.

Panic and fear surged in her heart like a tide. She tried to explain, but found that her throat seemed to be blocked by something and she could not make any sound.

The old emperor became even angrier when he saw Su Ran like this.

He had never had any expectations for his daughter because he felt guilty towards her and because her mother was the woman he loved most. So his biggest wish for Su Ran was that she could be safe and happy.

But now, she has done something so rebellious, how can he accept it?

"Su Ran, do you know your identity? You are a princess, of royal blood. Everything you do represents the face of the royal family."

"By doing this, you are not only losing face for yourself, but also for the royal family!" the old emperor shouted sternly.

Seeing the old emperor like this, Su Ran no longer dared to admit that he liked women.

Perhaps he finally figured out that he must hide the fact that he likes women from the emperor.

Su Ran finally found her voice. She trembled and said, "Father, I... I don't like women, I..."

"You're still quibbling!" The old emperor interrupted her. "If you hadn't risked your life to save that woman named... named... Lu Zhiran, how could you have ended up like this? You still dare to say that you don't like women?"

"Besides, Lu Zhiran was drugged with aphrodisiac. This must be your doing!"

It was so clear to see the emperor.

Su Ran had no way to defend himself and his face turned pale.

Just then, the queen hurried in. She was relieved to see that Su Ran had woken up.

But when she heard the old emperor's words, a look of worry appeared on her face.

"Your Majesty, please calm down first." The Queen advised softly, "Su Ran just woke up and is still weak. Why don't we listen to her explanation first."

Hearing this, the old emperor took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He looked at Su Ran and decided to give Su Ran another chance. His tone softened a little: "Su Ran, explain to me clearly what is going on?"

Su Ran was grateful for the Queen's advice. She took a deep breath and began to make up a story... no... told the whole story.

She explained why she saved Lu Zhiran. It was because Lu Zhiran was drugged by a man with bad intentions.

While saving her, she accidentally fell and suffered a severe blow to the head. She stumbled and fell into the lake with Lu Zhiran. Lu Zhiran had saved her before, and she couldn't bear to see Lu Zhiran get into trouble.

So he jumped into the water to save Lu Zhiran.

Su Ran spoke with a firm and sincere tone, and she looked directly at the old emperor without any evasion. She emphasized that she did not like women, and she did not do anything rebellious.

Her tone was full of helplessness and grievance about the emperor's misunderstanding of her, but she also understood that only by facing it honestly could she dispel her father's doubts.

As the old emperor listened to Su Ran's story, his anger gradually subsided.

Su Ran knew the emperor too well.

She knew what tone would soften the old emperor's heart.

The old emperor did begin to re-examine his misunderstandings and prejudices towards Su Ran, with a complex emotion welling up in his heart.

The old emperor's eyes fell on Su Ran, and he frowned slightly, as if he was recalling the past. He had a deep understanding of Su Ran's personality and style of doing things, and he knew that his daughter was not someone who would easily do something rebellious.

However, this rumor made him feel confused.

"You said Lu Zhiran saved you. When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me?"

There was a hint of doubt and concern in the old emperor's tone.

He is still doubting himself!

That's right. After all, how could the emperor, who is a shrewd man, change his opinion immediately just because of her two short sentences?

Su Ran took a deep breath. She knew this was the crucial moment to explain the misunderstanding.

She calmed herself down and began to recall the scene of that day: "More than ten days ago, I ran away secretly and encountered bandits at the foot of the temple mountain. I didn't dare to tell my father because I was afraid that he would blame me."

"Father, you know that I stayed at the Fu Mansion for a few days for this reason."

I was busy pestering Lu Zhiran at the time, but I didn't expect that it could be used as testimony now.

Su Ran said secretly.

When she spoke, there was a hint of trepidation in her voice, as if she was afraid that the old emperor would not believe her words. She looked up at the old emperor, her eyes full of earnestness: "If you don't believe it, you can ask my maid, is this really the reason?"

The old emperor looked at Su Ran, his eyes revealing a hint of depth.

He did not ask the maid immediately, but fell into deep thought. He was thinking whether Su Ran's words were credible, and whether he should believe his daughter.

Su Ran was also a little anxious, and immediately signaled to her maid to speak first.

Su Ran's maid felt uneasy when she saw this.

She knew that this matter concerned the princess's reputation and safety, so although she was afraid, she stood up without hesitation: "Your Majesty, what the princess said is true. We did encounter bandits that day, and it was Madam Lu Zhiran who saved us. The princess was afraid that you would blame her, so she kept it a secret."

He just concealed the various strategies that Su Ran used against Lu Zhiran during this process.

The palace maid's words gave the old emperor some confidence.

He looked at Su Ran, and the doubts in his eyes gradually dissipated: "I see, no wonder you care so much about Lu Zhiran."

Su Ran felt relieved when he saw that the old emperor believed what he said.

She knew that her explanation this time had worked, and she also felt her father's understanding and trust in her.

She decided to be more careful in the future and not to worry her father anymore.

It’s too early for Su Ran to feel relieved.

The emperor only half believed what she said.

After all, what can you do if you don’t believe it?

It is impossible to force Su Ran to marry someone directly. Now that Su Ran is so afraid of him knowing this, he can at least use this matter to make Su Ran restrain herself a little.

Don’t let the whole world know about it, or it will bring shame to the royal family!

"Father, now that this misunderstanding has been resolved, and Lu Zhiran has done nothing wrong, where is she now?"

"Father, you shouldn't have done anything to her!"
