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

As it grew darker, the Imperial Guards sent Su back.

They were very frank in letting the person go, and Su staggered all the way back to Su Rou.

Su Rou took a look and saw that her hair was a little messy and her gorgeous clothes had been stripped off.

Mother, I see there's no damage...

But we must make those people compensate for the clothes and jewelry that A Niang was wearing.

Su Rou held a long sword in her hand and stood on the steps with her soldiers, confronting the imperial guards.

"Oh, I thought the emperor would wait until tomorrow before issuing the order to release the prisoners."

The person who came back this time was the right one, the nonsense Weiwei that Su Rou had met before.

Hu Zuo looked at Su Rou, his words expressing helplessness towards her. "Girl... I've heard about what happened in the palace today. I brought people to escort Su back, and you're still acting like this? Why don't you invite me in for a cup of tea?"

Su Rou said, "Today's incident was caused by Su Rou offending Uncle Hu. Su Rou is here to apologize to Uncle Hu, but Uncle Hu should go back and ask his men first. If they hadn't attacked me first, how could I have resisted and hit them?"

This Hu Zuo was also a friend of her father. They shared the same hatred and had drunk a lot of wine together.

Su Rou still has to give her the face she deserves.

But he brought soldiers here to escort her mother back. Could it be as simple as coming in to have a cup of tea?

To be on the safe side, Su Rou would not let them cross the gate of the general's mansion.

Hu Zuo threw the long knife aside and sat cross-legged on the ground. "Girl, since you call me uncle, I have something to say to you today. You dared to cause such trouble in the palace, but you only relied on your father and brother's status in the court. But I heard that your eldest brother was bitten by a wolf while hunting in the autumn and has never recovered. The second and third brothers Su and your father are not here. If I, your uncle, insist on attacking the general's mansion behind you today, how can you, a little girl, defend it?"

Su Rou was stunned and realized that the nonsense might be serious.

Su Rou clenched the knife in her hand, "Today I beat 20 to 30 of my uncle's guards alone. I don't think they will embarrass a little girl like me."

Hu Zuo's face froze, it seemed that she had stabbed him in the heart.

Su Rou wondered if the emperor was furious after she returned, saying they were a bunch of useless people who couldn't even defeat a seventh-rank lieutenant like her...

Hu Zuo said, "Girl, don't make things difficult for your uncle. Release the Third Princess, and the General's Mansion will be safe."

Su Rou said, "I originally wanted to release the Third Princess after my mother came back, but I think it's not too late to wait until the Censorate can investigate and find out something before releasing her. Uncle Hu shouldn't be in a hurry, right?"

Hu Zuo frowned, "The Emperor will naturally give you an explanation, girl, if you don't believe the Emperor, do you also not believe me?"

Su Rou said with a cold face, "I don't believe it."

Hu Zuo: "You!"

Su Rou said, "Uncle, you asked me for the Third Princess, but you didn't trust me either? You thought I would harm the Third Princess. I'm not like you old foxes. Uncle, you should take your people and leave quickly. Go back and rest early, and assist the Censorate in the investigation. We need to get a result soon so that I can send the Third Princess back soon."

Hu Zuo's eyes fell on the long sword in Su Rou's hand. He raised his hand and waved it in the air, "Okay, let's go back."

Hu Zuo stood up, turned around and was about to leave with his people.

Su Rou watched Hu Zuo's back as he left, then turned to the guards behind her and said, "Go back to the mansion, close the door, and have them find the mousetraps used during the rat infestation a few years ago, and spread some along the base of the wall. No one in the mansion should go into the bushes, or they'll be at their own risk if they get caught."

She was certain that the old fox would come in at night.

Hu Zuo and his men walked further and further away, and the deputy general beside them came forward.

"Sir, Su Rou is just a woman, and the soldiers guarding the General's Mansion are not as many as us. What will happen even if we rush in with our men?"

He lied, "No one with the surname Su is normal. Su Rou dared to ruin the Third Princess' birthday party and then started a fight with us. Su Rou even beat the Crown Prince to a cripple, and the Emperor didn't even say a word of blame. Do you dare?"

The deputy general shook his head, "I dare not..."

He lied, "I just checked. The wall of the general's mansion is not high. Send someone to climb in at night. Remember to avoid the patrolling soldiers. I don't believe that the third princess was rescued quietly. Su Rou can still find trouble with me."

Su Rou lay in the yard and sniffed.

The weather is getting colder now. It will probably take until after the Chinese New Year for the temperature to gradually rise again.

The maid prepared food for her, and after Su Rou had eaten, she went to see Su.

The lights in the Su family's yard were off. Su Rou quietly opened the door and took a look inside.

The maidservant who served Su said, "Madam just came back to take a bath and then fell asleep. Miss, do you want to see her?"

Su Rou shook her head. "No, if she's sleepy, she should just go to bed early. What happened today would be annoying to anyone else."

Su Rou left Su's yard and went back to rest.

The general's mansion fell into complete silence. Su Rou was feeling sleepy and was just about to fall asleep.

There was a scream outside.

Su Rou turned over in bed. It must be that a mouse was caught in a mousetrap.

Su Rou yawned and tucked her face into the quilt.

In one night, seven or eight guards were captured in the palace. Dried blood was hanging on the wall. It must be that some of them were trapped and tried their best to escape by climbing over the wall.

Su Rou crossed her arms, "That's it? Didn't you say yesterday that you were going to withdraw your troops and leave? What's the matter? Are you so obsessed with my beauty that you climbed over the wall at night and came in to become a flower thief?"

They shook their heads one after another. After bleeding all night, their faces became much more haggard.

It's as if their general's mansion is a place that absorbs people's yang energy...

Su Rou kicked lightly, "Shake your head? Am I not as good as Hua Siyue?"

The guards quickly changed their heads to nods. Su Rou squatted down and said, "Then you admit that you are here to be flower thieves. Quickly, quickly, pack them up and send them to the palace. Let Uncle Hu take care of it for me."

"Miss... please spare us, we didn't mean to..."

"Please spare our lives, girl."

Su Rou ignored their pleas for mercy, turned around and left to have breakfast in the front yard.

Su Rou was in a good mood and was humming a little tune.

Today, the mansion prepared some white porridge and meat dishes for her.

No one eats meat in the morning, but Su Rou likes to eat it this way.

She took a bite of the chicken leg and drank a sip of porridge.

But soon a maid came in hurriedly from outside and interrupted her peaceful morning.

"Miss, something terrible has happened. The Fourth Madam has hanged herself."
