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

This sentence "I'm still young" interrupted what Su Rou was about to say.

Bai Si is still young, so there is no way the emperor would admit that he is old.

It was pitch dark yesterday, and Bai Si could see the look in Gong Yu's eyes as he looked at her, not to mention the Emperor!

Su Rou said, "I already know about this. Thank you, uncle, for coming to remind me."

Bai Si stood up. "Besides that, I have one more thing I need to remind you. There's no need to hang Third Master Su and Third Princess on a crooked tree... Just because Third Master doesn't want to marry doesn't mean Third Princess doesn't want to marry..."

Bai Si didn't explain clearly, and Su Rou was confused.

Isn’t the marriage between the third brother and the third princess exactly the situation he described?

Su Rou asked the maid to send Bai Si away and started to idle around the mansion.

She slept for a long time yesterday. It was already afternoon. After having dinner and taking a walk, it was time to go to bed again.

There was a large table of fine wine and delicious food prepared in the mansion, and Su Wan rushed back from outside just to have a meal with his family.

It was freezing cold outside, but the house was warm.

It's rare for the whole family to sit together at one table.

Su Chi picked up a chicken leg for Su Rou, and she lowered her head and took two mouthfuls of rice.

"Why didn't the Second Madam come today? Is she still ill?" Su Rou put down the bowl and glanced at the people at the table.

The Third Madam Ji and her mother, the Fourth Madam Su, are here, so why is the Second Madam so disrespectful?

The maidservant beside her stepped forward and said, "Miss... the Second Madam doesn't like to come to the front yard. If you want to ask the Second Madam to come over, I will go and invite her over right away."

She originally thought that the Third Madam was the most honest person in the entire mansion.

But now that the first lady is gone, comparing Ji and the second lady, the second lady is the most honest and stable in the entire mansion.

The Second Lady doesn't like to be competitive, and she is rarely seen doing so throughout the year.

At least the second wife never thought of using the second brother to gain the attention of the father.

Su Rou said, "Go and ask her to come over and tell her that I want to see her."

Fourth Madam Su gently tugged at her chopsticks and asked, "Why did you suddenly say you wanted to see Second Madam today?"

Su asked her in a low voice.

But the other people at the table could hear it too.

Su Chong said, "My younger sister is very observant and can even notice that Er Niang is not here."

Su Chi didn't say anything and just lowered his head to pick up some food for her.

Su Rou said, "Even though it's not a festival today, it's still a good idea to ask the Second Madam to come over. We can liven things up front. The Second Madam feels a bit lonely and desolate just thinking about it, being all alone in her boudoir."

Su Wan took a bite of the chicken leg, and all the meat on the bone was pulled off, and he sucked the remaining meat off the bone clean.

Su Wan said, "Oh, by the way, A'rou, I saw the notice posted at the city wall today. Did you send someone to post it? Isn't your method like looking for a needle in a haystack?"

Su Rou said, "Father, don't worry about this matter. I have a way to solve it."

She really does.

She felt that her father's worries were a bit unnecessary.

Su Wan swallowed the meat in his mouth.

"Ah!" A scream came from outside, interrupting the scene of the family happily having dinner together.

Su Rou and Su Chi reacted quickly and rushed into the house first. Several lanterns were hanging in the dark corridor.

Su Rou immediately saw the white figure slumped in the corner.

She went over and helped the person up from the ground. The woman was dressed in plain white and her face looked pale. The person with a sickly look was the second wife of the general's mansion, Meng.

Su Rou said, "How can you fall even on flat ground?"

The Second Madam lowered her eyes and shook her head gently, "Miss, I'm fine..."

Su Rou frowned, looked around, and found the corner of clothes hidden behind the bushes.

Su Rou handed Meng to Su Chi, "Second brother, help the Second Madam to sit down in the dining hall. I... I have a little diarrhea, I'll be back soon!"

Mrs. Meng suddenly screamed, she must have seen something.

If nothing goes as expected...

Meng saw the old woman.

Su Rou found an empty corner and asked the old woman to come out from the dark.

It is winter now, and the old woman is still wearing the same thin clothes she wore when she was in prison.

The old woman walked out of the darkness with a guilty look on her face, "Miss, is that lady okay? I didn't mean to... I accidentally scared her."

The old woman's face didn't look kind at all, and Su Rou could understand why Mrs. Meng reacted so strongly.

Su Rou said, "She's fine, she was just frightened. Did you see the notice I posted?"

The old woman nodded. Her hands, which were already black, had several cracks on them and looked even darker.

Su Rou said, "The poison you put on the prince earlier must be removed now."

The old woman was stunned and looked at Su Rou eagerly, her eyes full of confusion. "Why? That time, the Gu was successful because it found an opportunity. If you use it again, it may not work."

Su Rou said, "Because of that Gu, the Emperor has set his sights on me. You remove the Gu. I'll bring the Crown Prince to you when I have some free time in the next two days, and you can re-inject a new Gu. I hope this time you can use a different one, preferably one that doesn't cause any symptoms and will cause sudden death at the appointed time! The kind that no one can find out no matter how hard they try."

Su Rou showed a cunning smile on her face.

The old woman said, "How can there be such a magical Gu? Young lady, you are overestimating me."

Su Rou almost laughed out loud, "Then I'll bring it to you directly, and then you can take the opportunity to kill me?"

The old woman said proudly, "That's pretty good."

Su Rou refused outright, "That won't work. The prince can't die immediately, or it will be linked to the General's Mansion."

While the two of them were talking, an eye appeared in the corner behind them, observing secretly.

Ji turned around and quickly went back to find Su Wan, "General! General! Something terrible has happened! I just saw the young lady standing in a corner plotting something with a wanted criminal!"

Su Wan was stunned. "Where did this wanted criminal come from in the General's Mansion? You didn't drink alcohol last night, so why are you still dazzled?"

Ji's mood was quite high, and even Su Chi, who was holding a wine glass, was shocked by Ji's words.

Ji said, "I am a woman, and although I haven't seen much of the world, I have seen the wanted notices issued by the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice. That person is indeed a wanted criminal, and she is an old lady."

After saying these words, Ji felt that it was not appropriate to say so, and it would inevitably make Su Wan feel unhappy.

"General, why don't you come with me? Even if I'm mistaken, I can still confirm the young lady's safety... If she really is a wanted criminal, wouldn't she be in danger?"
