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

Chapter 167: Dark and Windy Night, Time of Murder and Arson

When Su Rou's carriage arrived at the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, there were almost no people on the street.

Su Feng in the car called out to her, "Is it possible for you to rush in like this?"

The second brother was worried about her safety.

Su Rou said, "Why not? The emperor has already spoken."

She leaped onto the wall of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, but that was not enough.

Su Rou took a fire starter from her waist, pulled out the lid and threw it directly onto the lawn in the yard.

It is winter now, and the dry grass still remaining on the ground can easily ignite.

By the time the people in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion noticed the fire outside, it was already too late.

"The fire is breaking! Help!!"

Su Rou looked down at them from above, and then an arrow shot towards them from somewhere.

Su Rou dodged in time and only a strand of her hair was cut off.

Gu Huaqing was wearing pajamas, holding a bow and arrow, staring at her fiercely, "Su Rou! You are so brave!"

Su Rou snorted coldly, "I call it a one-to-one fight. Weren't you the first to send people to our house to attack my father?"

The Right Prime Minister's Mansion was in chaos, and everyone was busy putting out the fire.

The fire was burning fiercely. It was winter now, but there was not even a single green plant in the yard of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

Gu Huaqing yelled at the top of his lungs, "Come down if you dare."

Su Rou obediently jumped down from the wall, holding the dagger in her hand. "Okay, but let me be clear, my second brother is guarding me outside. If anything happens to me, no one from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion can escape."

Gu Huaqing said, "Go get the long knife. I'm going to kill this ignorant bastard with my own hands tonight. So what if Su Feng is outside? I'm going to chop you two off together!"

It seems that Gu Huaqing is extremely angry now.

He even dared to attack his second brother.

Su Rou rushed towards Gu Huaqing with a smile.

When the servants of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion saw this, they dropped the buckets in their hands and stood in front of Gu Huaqing to protect him.

Gu Huaqing had no military power, and the servants in his mansion were just a bunch of fools.

This seems to be due to the bold statement made by Gu Huaqing when he succeeded as the Right Prime Minister, saying that he could protect the emperor even without military power.

Su Rou's skills are no problem in dealing with these servants, but Gu Huaqing is too annoying...

She could fight, but in the end she would fight him to the death.

Su Rou took two steps back, turned around and left. Anyway, her goal had been achieved.

She won't gain any advantage if she continues to tangle with Gu Huaqing.

Su Rou climbed over the wall, and an arrow shot straight towards her from behind.

She grabbed the edge of the wall with one hand, and fortunately she dodged in time, otherwise she would have been hit by his arrow.

Su Rou climbed down the wall and quickly slipped into the carriage, "Hurry up, hurry up, don't let him catch up again."

Su Feng asked, "Are you hurt?"

Su Rou shook her head. "How could I let him take advantage of me? But the Right Prime Minister's Mansion has already burned down, and there's a good chance this will spread throughout the capital tomorrow."

Su Feng smiled lightly. It was already very late when the two of them returned.

Su Rou asked the maid to get her a bucket of hot water, took a bath, and then went to sleep.

The next morning, Su Rou woke up feeling very comfortable after a good sleep.

The maid came in quickly from outside, "Miss, something big has happened. I heard that the Right Prime Minister filed a complaint with you in the court early this morning for setting fire to his house and assaulting someone last night."

Su Rou yawned, "Did the emperor say anything?"

The maid shook her head, "This...I don't know."

Su Rou smiled and said, "Don't worry about it."

The emperor had already agreed to her words yesterday, and a gentleman's word is as good as gold.

The emperor naturally ignored Gu Huaqing.

After Su Rou had breakfast, she went to check on Su Wan's condition and then left the house.

Su Rou's carriage stopped at the outskirts of the city, and Su Chi was standing by the roadside.

She jumped off the carriage and asked, "Third brother, what's the situation?"

Su Chi said, "As you said."

Su Chi went to the palace to meet the emperor on her behalf. After he came back, Su Rou asked him to confirm something for her.

My second brother was seriously injured, and the emperor did not order nearby troops to rush over to provide support.

The Su family has no advantages, they just help their relatives but not others.

My second brother was able to save his life, but it had nothing to do with the emperor...

Su Rou was really tired of this life of being exploited by the emperor.

Su Rou said, "Third brother, father and second brother are both seriously injured. Do you have any ideas? I previously pulled the queen down, and your marriage with the third princess is now in vain."

What she was actually asking about was the position of General Su.

But Su Chi obviously didn't hear it. "I'll stay in the capital for a while. The boss hasn't come back yet, so there has to be someone in the mansion to hold on."

This is true...

The reason why she could be so arrogant and burn down the Right Prime Minister's Mansion was because she relied on her father and brother's status in the court.

She has the support of the General's Mansion, so she can act wild without any problem.

"Third brother, don't you have the idea of squeezing out the eldest and second brothers to become the General Su?"

Su Chi was stunned and slowly shook his head, "No..."

Su Rou smiled maliciously, "But I do."

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Chi's eyes. His reaction was within her expectations.

Su Chi said, "How can a woman go to the battlefield and kill the enemy?"

Su Rou knew Su Chi would react like this, but she didn't explain much. She just said lightly, "I'll just think about it."

Her three older brothers were all military generals. If she really pushed them out to become General Su, it would surely cause outsiders to laugh at their general's mansion.

Even if she said more now, it would be of no use, because her third brother would definitely oppose her anyway.

Su Chi lectured her, "Why did Father work so hard with us? Isn't it just so you can live peacefully as a noble lady in the capital? Once your status rises, the man you marry in the future... will naturally not be too bad. It's better for you to follow him and suffer hardships."

Su Rou noticed that Su Chi had paused unnaturally.

"Third brother, I won't marry and will stay with my father forever. After all, we don't lack the money to support me."

Su Chi's expression was slightly moved.

He knocked her head viciously and said, "If you don't get married, you will be an old maid. Besides, even if father agrees, the fourth lady will not agree."

Su Rou covered her head in pain.

"My mother is a woman, so naturally she hopes I can marry into a good family."

The carriage stopped outside the General's Mansion. Su Chi said, "When I was out these past few days, I heard that you single-handedly rescued my father in Dongfang Town. The natives of Dongfang Town were all killed by the people from the desert. Almost all the people in that town are from the desert. Did you bring any helpers with you?"

Su Rou's body stiffened, and she didn't dare to look Su Chi in the eye out of guilt.

How many people did Gong Yu send to spread rumors? How did this matter spread beyond the capital?

Apart from her and Gong Yu, no one else knew about this.

In order to prevent Gong Yu from being exposed, she had better keep her mouth shut and hide it from her third brother as well.

Su Rou said, "This is a long story..."

She chattered on and on, but didn't get to the point.

Before I knew it, I arrived at Su Wan's yard.

Su Rou stepped over the threshold and called out "Dad" sweetly, "Dad, my third brother is back."

She successfully changed the topic.

Su Wan, who was leaning against the window, looked over.

"Third brother, come back if you want." Su Wan's tone was somewhat impatient.

Su Wan was not a person who could speak in a gentle voice, so most of his tenderness was given to Su Rou, and the remaining small part was given to the four ladies in the mansion.

After saying this, Su Wan probably realized that his tone was not appropriate, and said, "Father dislikes your third brother, not you. Don't be angry, Arou."

Su Rou stood beside Su Wan's bed and said, "Father, you are too harsh on my third brother."

Su Chi pulled out a chair and sat down next to him. "He was like this when he was a kid."

Su Wan felt a little unhappy when he heard what he said.

"What were you doing out there? Your younger sister was alone in the mansion, and you didn't even come back to help her earlier! Last night, the Right Prime Minister sent someone to plot against me, and it was your younger sister who avenged me."

Actually, it was my second brother who showed up here and saved my father yesterday, but my father just put all the credit on her...
