The prince stepped on me to get to the top, I angrily flirted with the enemy's hostage

Su Rou wandered around the street for a while, bought some food and went home. As soon as she entered the house, she saw Madam Jiang standing stealthily in the yard.

As if still worried that she wouldn't be seen, Jiang just stood there at the door.

It seemed that Jiang was assassinated at night last time, and the wound on his arm had not healed yet, so he was standing at the door applying medicine.

She wouldn't say anything while Jiang was applying the medicine, but why did she have to stand in such a conspicuous place like the front door to apply it?

Jiang raised her eyes and saw that it was her who came back. She glanced at her with disgust and quickly put down her hand that was applying the medicine. She completely lost the feminine and artificial spirit she had just shown when applying the medicine.

Su Rou said, "Madam, why are you looking at me? Keep painting. Could it be that you're waiting here at the door specifically for my father?"

Jiang didn't seem to want Su Rou to stay here for too long, and her words and actions implied that she wanted her to leave quickly.

"I'm waiting for the general to come back. Miss Di should go back to the courtyard and rest early."

Su Rou then remembered that since her father saw Jiang injured last time, he stayed overnight in Jiang's yard because he was worried that there would be assassins coming in the second half of the night.

Could it be that it was just this night that Jiang was aroused?

The women in the deep courtyard only spend some time thinking about such things.

After being assassinated once, Jiang probably realized that she could win her father's favor by pretending to be soft.

As Su Rou passed by Jiang, she said nonchalantly, "Okay, I won't stand here and bother you... But I recently heard the servants in the mansion say something about you being very close to a groom in the backyard. Is this true?"

She stared at Jiang with her innocent eyes, which was a warning to Jiang that if she continued to do anything to let down her father and the general's mansion, she would definitely create this disaster with her own hands.

My father was a rough man. Although he didn't understand the pleasures of the boudoir, he never embarrassed any lady.

Because of his rough personality, he may have neglected someone in his daily life, but that was all unintentional. It was because my father was a simple and honest person with a kind heart, and he treated everyone equally.

Su Rou could understand Jiang's desire to find other ways to entertain herself because she couldn't stand the loneliness, but this was absolutely not allowed in the general's mansion.

Besides, Jiang was the legal wife of the general's mansion. To accuse her father of being a cuckold was simply because she thought she had lived too long.

She saw Jiang was stunned, "You...you are talking nonsense!"

Su Rou glanced at Jiang indifferently, but the expression on Jiang's face didn't seem like she thought she was talking nonsense, but rather she was wondering how she knew it.

Su Rou said, "Oh, Madam, why are you so anxious? I didn't say anything. I just wanted to confirm it with you, Madam. But looking at your reaction, is it true?"

Her question stumped Jiang.

"You! I..." Jiang grunted for a long time but couldn't come up with any clear answer.

Su Wan happened to come back at this time. Su Rou looked back and said, "Father has also come back. Madam, please ask him to help you apply the medicine."

Su Wan was puzzled, "What medicine is being applied? Why is Arou standing at the door?"

Obviously, compared to Jiang's injuries, her father really cared more about his precious daughter.

Su Rou had a pure expression on her face. Even Jiang Shi couldn't compare to her in terms of cunning and foresight. "Father, when I came back just now, I saw the eldest lady standing at the door applying medicine. When she saw that it was me, she immediately stopped. I think the eldest lady must have wanted to wait for you to come back and help her apply it."

Su Wan looked at the medicine bottle in Jiang's hand.

Jiang was stunned for a moment and quickly hid the medicine bottle behind her, "General..."

Su Rou looked at Jiang's embarrassed look and almost laughed out loud.

She was young, and her father would not think that she had any ideas, but it was different for Jiang. In her father's eyes, these little tricks of Jiang were just some intrigues in the mansion.

Not only does her father not feel any sympathy for Jiang's injury, but he is also worried that Jiang will lead her astray.

Su Wan continued, "Wasn't the wound last time just a small cut? The doctor applied medicine to you, and the wound wasn't deep, and the scab hasn't fallen off yet?"

Jiang's eyes were red as she looked at Su Wan with grievance, "General... the wound wasn't serious, but it left a scar on my body."

Su Wan stepped forward, gently grabbed Jiang's wrist and lifted it up. There was indeed a shallow mark on the white arm.

"Well, it's just a minor injury. The emperor gave me some gifts earlier, and among them is a box of imperial facial cream that happened to be tribute from the Western Regions. I'll have someone send it to the courtyard for you later."

How could my father, who had been fighting on the battlefield for years, never have been injured? This little injury was just a scratch to him.

Su Wan ignored Jiang Shi and came over to look at the things in Su Rou's arms. "Did you go out and buy some snacks? Do you have any for Dad?"

Su Rou took out a candied haws from her bosom and said, "Give it to Dad."

Su Wan narrowed his eyes and smiled gently, "Arou, the emperor gave you five boxes of the Imperial Cream. I'll give one box to your aunt, and I'll have someone send the remaining four boxes to you."

Su Rou took a bite of the hot osmanthus cake and said, "Dad, I'm not hurt, you can keep it."

Su Wan bit into a hawthorn ball, and the broken sugar residue hung on his beard. "Women all love beauty. It's time for you to dress up properly."

Su Rou didn't say anything else.

Su Wan suddenly stopped, holding a candied haws in his mouth, and took out a purse from his waist. The purse was a bit worn, and it looked like it had been with Su Wan for many years.

Su Wan placed the purse in Su Rou's arms and said, "Dad hasn't given you pocket money for a long time. There are some small pieces of gold in it. You can spend them, but don't be too greedy. You still have to eat the meals prepared by the servants."

Su Rou looked at the purse and her eyes felt slightly sore.

In her previous life, she had been loved by her father, but in the end, she had implicated him and the General's Mansion...

A hot tear slid down Su Rou's cheek.

Su Wan was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. He threw away the candied haws in his hand and quickly leaned over to comfort her. "Why are you still crying? Did your aunt bully you just now?"

Su Rou shook her head, "No... I just... miss Daddy so much."

Su Wan was confused. "Arou, I've been out for two hours today. Don't cry, don't cry. Daddy is here..."

A burly old man squatted in front of Su Rou and coaxed her. She will never forget this scene in her life.

Su Rou's eyes were red from crying. She lay in the room, staring at the ceiling expressionlessly.

There was no light in the room, it was dim. The moonlight outside the window drifted in through the window lattice, illuminating the head of her bed.

"Creaky——" The door of her room was pushed open.

Su Rou saw the person coming in and quickly got up from the bed, "Someone come here! Someone is being a hooligan!"
