Su Rou's body stiffened for a moment, and she looked at Su Chi blankly, "How could Third Brother miss me so much? I just came home a little late yesterday, and then I fell asleep directly on the bed."

Su Chi said, "Oh... I thought that His Royal Highness Prince Yu was shameless enough to let a virgin like you stay there overnight."

Su Rou nodded in agreement. Yes, Gong Yu was shameless. It was indeed Gong Yu who insisted on keeping her yesterday.

Fortunately, Gong Yu kept his promise to her. Even if her third brother found out something, she could pretend to be ignorant and get away with it.

Su Chi said, "After washing up, go to the front yard. The second brother and I have something to discuss with you."

Su Rou was surprised that her third brother actually used the word "discuss" to talk to her...

hiss……

She suddenly felt that things were not simple.

Su Rou simply washed her face, and the maid brought her tea and asked her to rinse her mouth.

Su Rou said, "Prepare some cakes. I just woke up and I'm very hungry."

The maid replied, "Yes, Miss."

Su Rou was afraid that other people would notice that the dress she was wearing today was exactly the same as yesterday, so she changed into another one.

When she arrived at the front yard, Su Feng and Su Chi were already waiting for her.

Su Feng looked over and tapped the armrest rhythmically with his index finger.

"Why did you sleep so long today? Did you become a thief last night?"

Su Rou said, "I was a little tired... so I slept a little longer."

She secretly observed Su Chi's expression out of the corner of her eye, fortunately her third brother did not expose her.

Su Feng smiled and said, "We went to your yard early in the morning and waited until almost noon, but there was no movement in your room. If I hadn't asked the maid to knock in and confirm that you were asleep on the bed, my second brother would have thought that some daring little thief had kidnapped our little sister."

Su Rou felt guilty and laughed dryly twice, not daring to respond to Su Feng's words.

The second and third brothers must have noticed something...

Su Rou said, "Second brother, third brother, why did you two call me over here today?"

Su Chi raised his hand, and the maid waiting at the door went out and closed the door.

The room suddenly fell into darkness.

Su Chi said, "First, the eldest brother has written a letter home. He has expanded his search to the places where the second wife might have been lost, but he has found nothing. What does the second brother think he should do next?"

Su Feng lowered his eyes, his handsome and delicate eyebrows showing a touch of elegance, "If you can't find it, let the boss come back. Continuing to waste manpower will not find it."

Su Rou said, "Does father know about the Second Madam's affairs?"

Su Chi said, "I don't know yet."

Su Rou said, "It's better to tell my father about this in advance. If we really can't find her, we can announce to the public that the second wife encountered bandits on the way and her body fell off a cliff and died."

Su Chi and Su Feng both knew what Su Rou meant.

The fact that the Second Madam was able to disappear despite being protected by the Yuan Family caravan and Su Chong meant that she did it on purpose...

The second wife deliberately avoided everyone's sight and left.

Su Chi asked Su Feng for his opinion, "Do you think this is feasible?"

Su Feng nodded solemnly, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

The traces of the Second Madam have been fundamentally erased, so even if someone asks about it in the future, the General's Mansion can give an explanation.

Su Chi continued, "The second thing is, there are a lot of spies in the mansion lately, and they've become quite active. Just relying on my little sister's method of waiting and waiting won't work... They certainly have plenty of ways to keep themselves hidden."

Su Feng laughed out loud, "Little sister, that wasn't just sitting back and waiting. She was clearly going to kill them all with one blow. She would rather kill them all than let any one go. When my father was poisoned, she asked you to surround the general's mansion. If the spy wasn't a fool, he wouldn't be exposed in that situation."

Faced with her second brother's ridicule of her actions, Su Rou did not refute.

He just stared at Su Feng and blinked innocently.

The smile on Su Feng's face suddenly froze. "Wait a minute, little sister, are you really planning to beat them all to death with one stick? You're not planning to let any one go?"

Su Rou said, "If my father hadn't woken up and stopped me that day, I would have already thought of where to bury those imperial doctors who cured my father of the poison."

Su Feng and Su Chi both frowned.

Su Chi said, "What I did that day was correct. If others saw it, it would also help me establish my authority in the General's Mansion."

Su Rou didn’t actually think too much about it at the time. She simply felt that those imperial doctors should be killed.

The poison my father was infected with was not an ordinary poison. It was impossible that my father was so rough that he wanted to maintain his appearance and asked the imperial physician to use a poison that only appeared in the palace to make him beautiful.

So, it was obvious that she didn't intend to let anyone go.

Su Feng half-jokingly said, "Fortunately, Dad woke up in time."

Su Chi said, "I plan to catch all the spies in the palace. I'm afraid the situation in the palace is even more corrupt than that in the harem."

Su Rou said, "Go ahead, but I have a question. How confident are you, Third Brother, that you can pull them all out?"

Su Chi said, "It's not very likely, but I have a way."

Su Chi's method was actually to lure the snake out of its hole, but this method was a bit stupid and Su Rou felt it wouldn't work.

The other party planted spies in the general's mansion just to know their actions.

Su Rou felt that the Northern Kingdom would be conquered by Gong Yu anyway, so it didn't matter whether it was the maids or the men in the mansion.

They will all die at the hands of Gong Yu or the Southerners.

Su Rou thought so, but she didn't tell Su Chi and Su Feng.

Just let them do what they want to do to lure the snake out of its hole.

Su Rou stuffed two pieces of pastry into her mouth and choked. She took two sips of tea and stood up.

"I have something to do today. I have to go out for a while and will be back later."

Su Feng leaned one arm on the chair, supporting his chin and looking at Su Rou, "Are you still going to Prince Yu's Mansion?"

"Ahem!" She choked on her own saliva. "Can't I just go out for a walk by myself?! Second brother, you're too deliberate! Prince Yu and I have nothing to do with each other! We're not even close, and you still think there's something going on between us? That's too much!"

Su Rou looked at Su Feng's expression, then at Su Chi. The two of them clearly didn't believe her explanation.

Su Feng also stood up from his chair. "If you were going out shopping by yourself, you would definitely ask your second brother to come along. Forget about the third brother, he's a bit of a taciturn person, and you never liked playing with him since you were little. The young lady from the Yuan family is not in the capital right now, so why would you go out by yourself?"

Su Rou: “…”

She actually felt that her second brother's words made sense and could not be refuted...

Su Rou waved her hands, as if she was afraid that they would not believe her, and explained, "I will eat alone, so I won't take you and Third Brother with me. I'm not going to look for Prince Yu either. I'm leaving now."

Su Rou did not lie. She was going to find Andre, and it would not be convenient to bring her second and third brothers with her.

If they knew that she had become a robber when she had nothing to do, they would scold her...

Su Rou rode her horse all the way to the old woman's cabin. When she pushed the door open, she saw Andre sitting obediently in the corner.

Andrei saw her coming and came forward, "You...are here. Have you eaten? Poison Woman went to the city today to buy some noodles and make noodle soup."

Su Rou tied the horse to a tree trunk. "I'm not too hungry. Where's the old woman? It just so happens that you're here too. I've found someone to take you back to the desert. We'll leave tonight. I'll escort you out of the capital and won't go any further, but the others will protect you until you reach your own territory."

Andre's eyes showed surprise, "Do I... have to leave?"

Su Rou was confused and felt that what he said was a bit baffling...

"As a wanted fugitive, you'll be caught by the scapegoat sooner or later if you stay here. Go back to the desert, at least you won't have to hide like this."

Andre nodded, "I...know."

The old woman came out of the house and said, "He has been accustomed to staying here with me these days. When will he leave tonight? I will make preparations in advance."

Su Rou said, "No, they will come looking for you. Let me remind you again, after you return to the desert, you are not allowed to send troops to attack the Northern Kingdom without my permission. Although the Northern Kingdom narrowly won the battle with the desert, it was also seriously injured. If you dare to send troops, you are not taking me, your savior, seriously! Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will kill you with my own hands!"

The two of them walked up the stairs and into the house together.

Andre sat down at the door with his legs crossed. He looked at her, his eyes showing a mixture of reluctance and something that Su Rou couldn't understand...

"Su Rou, the reason why Da Mo was able to severely injure your Northern Nation this time is because..."
