718 Don’t Look at Her Eyes
“Brother Heng also told me about Princess Sindili.”
Su Xiaoling smiled at Su Xiaolu. This was the path she had to take. She hoped that her family would not worry about her.
“Sis, he has no choice.”
Su Xiaolu leaned against Su Xiaoling, as intimate as before Su Xiaoling was married.!!
“What I want to tell you is to be careful about Princess Sindili. Don’t keep staring into her eyes. Her eyes have the ability to bewitch people. She can easily order people around.”
Su Xiaolu told Su Xiaoling about Sindili’s ability and told her to be vigilant when dealing with Sindili in the future. She would not harm others, but she had to be wary of others.
“Bewitching?”
Su Xiaoling was surprised. Such an ability shocked her.
Su Xiaolu nodded. “Yes, you can say that it’s a kind of mental manipulation. If you’re not cautious, you’ll fall into her trap easily.”
“Okay, I understand. I’ll be careful.”
Su Xiaoling smiled at Su Xiaolu and gave her a reassuring look.
Su Xiaoling looked at Su Xiaolu with concern in her eyes. “Xiaolu, did that princess…” use her superpower on you?”
Su Xiaolu smiled, revealing her white teeth. “Yes, this should be her trump card. She won’t let anyone know easily. When you meet her, just be more careful.”
Bewitching people was an ability, but it was not omnipotent. As long as one was focused and determined, they would not be easily bewitched.
Using one’s thoughts to control people consumed a huge amount of mental energy. Everyone had a wall in their hearts, and no one was unguarded. Therefore, breaking through a person’s wall required a lot of mental energy. Then, one had to control it. There could not be any accidents.
Sindili needed one to look into her eyes and repeatedly use words to bewitch them. It was enough to prove that her ability was not very strong.
“Okay, I’ll be more careful.”
Su Xiaoling nodded in agreement.
That afternoon, Su Xiaolu accompanied Su Xiaoling in the palace. At night, Zhou Heng returned to the hall.
The three of them had dinner together. After dinner, Su Xiaolu left the palace and went home.
Su Xiaoling sent her to the entrance of the hall and stood side by side with Zhou Heng. When she could no longer see Su Xiaolu, she turned around and returned to the inner hall with Zhou Heng.
“Xiaoling, it’s been hard on you.”
Zhou Heng felt a lot of helplessness in his heart. These things that he could not control would have added pressure to Su Xiaoling in another form. He felt very guilty.
Su Xiaoling smiled faintly and shook her head. “I’m not tired.”
Brother Heng’s heart ached for her, and so did hers.
It was also very difficult for Brother Heng to shoulder the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.
If they were all ordinary people, she believed that they would definitely be very harmonious and happy. But now, they had to face too much. Su Xiaoling did not dare to guess what would happen in the future.
There were too many variables. It was just that now, they were working hard to support each other.
After returning to the inner hall, Zhou Heng went to see the two little girls.
He doted on the children. Even though the two children were only a few months old, they recognized him and knew that he was their father. They smiled when they saw him and wanted a hug.
He had two daughters. The elder sister, Zhou Wei, was more reserved, and the younger sister, Zhou Xuan, was lively. When she saw him, she made a sound and even reached out her hand, looking like she wanted a hug.
Zhou Heng picked up Zhou Xuan. After that, he put her down and went to carry his eldest daughter again.
Su Xiaoling watched gently from the side, gradually feeling at ease.

Su Xiaolu left the palace and went home. She did not disturb her family and returned to her room.
She lay down and sank her consciousness into the Space and played with Mantis Shrimp for a while before going to bed.
On the 25th of December, Chu Jin got married.
Su Xiaolu went to the wedding banquet. Chu Jin had many friends and toasted very well. He did not have any brothers and the Chu family did not have any relatives here. The matter of blocking the wine was all thanks to Su Chong, Su Hua, Qi Xingfeng, and Qi Xingzhi. The wedding banquet was very lively. Su Xiaolu went home after the banquet.
Another three days passed. On December 28th, less than ten days after she saw Princess Sindili, Su Xiaolu obtained confirmation from Zhou Zhi.
Princess Sindili chose to become Crown Prince Zhou Heng’s secondary consort.
After returning to the Li Dynasty after the new year, she would officially come back to the palace in June.
After the matter was settled, it would not change. Unless Princess Sindili died in an accident, the wedding date would not change.
When Su Xiaolu returned home from the Wisdom King’s Residence, Madam Zhao was a little unhappy.
At night, there was a knock on Su Xiaolu’s door. She opened the door. Madam Zhao smiled and said, “Xiaolu, can mother come in?”
Su Xiaolu nodded and moved aside.
Madam Zhao entered the house and hesitated about how to speak. After a while, she sighed and said sadly, “Xiaolu, if this princess wants to enter the palace, what will happen to your sister? Can she take it?”
How sad would it be to share a husband with someone else?
As a woman, no one was willing to share their husband with others. Those who could do it had swallowed countless grievances and endured the pain in their hearts.
Su Xiaolu saw that Madam Zhao was sad. She held Madam Zhao’s hand and sat down. She said to Madam Zhao, “Mother, it’s not like that. Listen to me.”
The fewer people who knew about this, the better.
She should not be telling Madam Zhao, but Su Xiaolu could not bear to see her worry. After thinking about it again and again, Su Xiaolu told Madam Zhao.
Madam Zhao listened quietly. She swallowed and revealed a bitter expression.
After hearing Su Xiaolu explain the process, Madam Zhao said, “They’ve suffered too much. Sigh…”
Madam Zhao could not tell what she was feeling. She was happy and worried. She was very gratified that Zhou Heng was loving, but this tested their relationship too much.
Although they were putting on an act for outsiders to see, she might take it seriously sometimes and become paranoid.
“Mother, don’t worry. Sister knows what she’s doing.”
Su Xiaolu comforted Madam Zhao.
Madam Zhao nodded and smiled. “Your brother-in-law is thoughtful. In that case, Mother will be at ease.”
At least for now, Zhou Heng was thoughtful. If anything really happened in the future, Su Xiaoling would have grown many years older. Her mind would also change.
If only she had chosen an ordinary family for Su Xiaoling sooner back then.
“Mother, let’s keep this to ourselves. This is best for Sister. Even Auntie should not know about it.”
Su Xiaolu instructed Madam Zhao. The Su and Chen families had a good relationship and did not hide anything from each other. However, this matter was not like other things. Su Xiaolu believed that Madam Zhao understood the severity of the matter.
Madam Zhao nodded. “I know.”
“I’ll go back to my room. You should rest early.”
Madam Zhao stood up and left.
Madam Zhao returned to her room. Su Sanlang was waiting for her. Seeing that Madam Zhao’s expression had softened after returning, Su Sanlang was relieved. He patted the bed and said gently, “Darling, come and sleep. I’ve warmed the bed up.”
