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

Su Rou didn't plan to tell Gong Yu about her plan.

Gong Yu must not have anything to do with the General's Mansion's affairs from now on.

Gong Yu closed his eyes and held his breath. Su Rou could even sense that his breathing became heavier.

Su Rou said cautiously, "Well, I'm going back now. You're just a flower thief if you get on my carriage like this."

Gong Yu said, "I'll go back with you."

Su Rou said, "No, and besides, I'm already engaged to Shen Yao. It's not appropriate for you to go back with me like this, right?"

Gong Yu said, "If you don't want to cancel the engagement, I can get rid of the Xiguang Marquis Mansion first."

Su Rou frowned slightly. Could it be that this guy is addicted to acting?

Is there really someone in this world who is willing to simply like himself?

Su Rou turned her face away and said, "You handle it! I will remain a widow for Shen Yao."

Gong Yu looked at her, his eyes gradually becoming somewhat helpless, "The more you act like this, the more I wish I could kill Shen Yao right now."

Su Rou pushed him away, "You can't threaten me."

Gong Yu had previously gone to great lengths to sneak into the General's Mansion to plot against her, so he would not waste his energy on her to confront the Marquis of Xiguang's Mansion.

What's more, didn't Gong Yu already make the Xiguang Marquis Mansion rebel?

Su Rou didn't care.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the general's mansion.

Just as Su Rou was about to stand up, Gong Yu still held her tightly.

Su Rou lowered her voice, fearing that the people outside would hear her movements, "What? Do you really want to ruin our reputations?!"

There was a vicious look in Gong Yu's eyes. He looked into Su Rou's eyes and finally let her go.

Before Su Rou could react, Gong Yu pulled her out of the carriage.

Two maids came out to greet her. When they saw Gong Yu was there, they were stunned.

Su Rou struggled, "Let go! Or I'll bite you!"

Gong Yu looked calm as he took her out of the carriage and said, "Go back and have a good rest. Don't go out of the house casually."

He threw down these words and left.

Su Rou looked at Gong Yu's departing back in confusion, wondering what this person was doing here.

Su Rou patted her dress and turned to go into the house.

That night, the streets became lively.

There was a fire at the Xiguang Marquis Mansion, and it seemed to be quite a big scene. People on the street all went over to watch the excitement.

Su Rou, who had been staying in the mansion, was also attracted by the movement outside.

Su Rou crouched on the wall, wondering if that bastard Gong Yu was really going to attack the Xiguang Marquis's Mansion?!

Su Wan's voice came from under the wall.

"Rou, come down. Daddy wants to talk to you about something."

Su Rou turned her head and found that Su Wan had appeared behind her at some point.

Su Rou said, "Dad, why did you get out of bed?"

Su Wan groaned, "If I don't come out and walk around, I'll start to stink."

Su Rou jumped off the wall. She hadn't called the imperial physician to check her father's injuries in the past few days, so she didn't know how her father's injuries were recovering.

Su Rou said, "Dad doesn't stink, he's just worried that your injury will be affected by moving around."

Su Wan said, "It's nothing serious. He has recovered now. Arou, don't underestimate your father's recovery speed."

Yu Xi is not looking down on me... As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Dad's intestines fell out that day, so he should be well recuperated at home...

Su Rou said, "What does Dad want to talk to me about?"

Su Wan said, "If Liu Bai hadn't come to tell me about your marriage to the Left Prime Minister Shen Yao today, how long would you have kept it a secret? My father has been recuperating in the mansion lately and has no idea what's happening outside or in the court. Are you deliberately trying to keep my father in the dark, Ah Rou?"

Su Wan's expression revealed a hint of sadness.

Su Rou was stunned, having forgotten about Liu Bai...

Su Rou really wanted to hide it from Su Wan.

She suddenly didn't know how to explain to her father...

Seeing that she had been keeping her head down and not saying anything, Su Wan softened his voice, "Arou, I just want to ask you one question. Are you really interested in the Left Prime Minister Shen Yao? Or is it that the Marquis of Xiguang is threatening you? I'll make the decision for you. If you don't agree, this marriage will be void."

Su Rou smiled and said, "Yes, Shen Yao is an upright person... I really like him."

When Su Rou said this, there was no emotion in her heart, and she even felt a little depressed...

What if it means sacrificing her marriage for something good for the General's Mansion?

Su Wan frowned, looking as if he didn't believe what she said at all.

"You and Shen Yao have almost no connection. Father thought you were..."

What is it?

Su Wan sighed and said what he hadn't finished, "Father thought you liked Prince Yu."

Gong Yu's identity is too sensitive for the General's Mansion...

Even if she chose Xie Yuan, she would not choose Gong Yu.

Su Rou smiled and said, "It's just a marriage. Does Father think Shen Yao is not suitable?"

Su Wan placed a hand on her shoulder and said, "Father thinks that you can at least marry a prince from another country and become a queen in the future."

The determination in Su Wan's eyes made Su Rou realize that he was not joking.

Even if she was self-righteous and looked down on Xie Yuan, she was not destined to be the queen...

Dad thinks highly of her.

Su Rou said, "Father, I just heard someone outside shouting that the Xiguang Marquis Mansion was on fire. I want to go over and take a look. What if Shen Yao died in there? Will I become a widow?"

Su Wan said, "Pah, pah, pah! Nonsense! It's better not to say such words. I'll ask someone to accompany you to take a look. Come back after you're done. Don't do anything unnecessary."

Su Rou knew that her father was worried that she would put herself in danger.

Su Rou jumped onto the eaves and said, "No need. I'll be back soon. It's faster to go back and forth alone."

"Hey?!"

"You kid!"

Su Rou ignored what Su Wan had to say and ran away by climbing over the eaves and walls.

The Xiguang Marquis Mansion is not too far away, but it is quite a walk to get there.

When Su Rou arrived, the fire had not yet subsided.

The servants of Xiguang Marquis' Mansion were busy running back and forth to put out the fire, and they didn't notice Su Rou standing next to them at all.

Su Rou stared at the burning gate in front of her, her eyes reflecting flames of joy.

Gong Yu takes action, and we will know if there is any...

The gate was also burned down, which was a complete slap in the face of Xiguang Marquis Mansion...

I'm afraid someone in the capital will say she set the fire tomorrow morning...

After all, she had burned down the Right Prime Minister's Mansion before...

Su Rou stopped someone and asked, "Where is the Left Prime Minister?"

She has to ensure Shen Yao's safety!

The man was stunned for a moment before realizing that she was Su Rou.

"You... Lord! Su Rou is here!"

Su Rou followed the servant's gaze and found Marquis Xiguang sitting in the corner.

Flames shot up into the sky, and Su Rou met his gaze.

"Can you find a place where no one is around to talk?"

Xiguang Hou's gray hair was disheveled and he looked a little disheveled.

"Girl, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Su Rou said, "Prince Yu...did he do it? Where's Shen Yao?"

Xi Guanghou's face looked bad, and he coughed twice, "The youngest one was taken away by him..."

Su Rou said, "Back to Prince Yu's Mansion?"

Xiguang Hou shook his head, "I don't know about that."

Su Rou turned around and was about to go to Prince Yu's Mansion, but Marquis Xiguang stopped her, "If we had known that he had fallen in love with you, we shouldn't have asked you to get engaged with the youngest brother..."

Su Rou glanced sideways and she knew that the person Xiguang Hou was talking about was Gong Yu.

How did Shen Changming address Gong Yu before? Oh, Your Highness.

Su Rou said, "How can he be moved? Isn't he afraid of being laughed at if he tells others? You have already had second thoughts, and you still think he loves me sincerely? You are so old, how can you be more naive than me..."

Xiguang Hou must have choked on the smoke, as he kept coughing. "Whether you believe it or not is up to you, but I'm afraid the Southern Kingdom no longer has the heart to protect us..."

Su Rou's face was expressionless. "Haven't they given up on protecting you a long time ago? If they did, you wouldn't have to make a deal with me. The marriage will still stand, and I will bring Shen Yao back."

Xi Guanghou said, "We were wrong in this matter first. I hope you won't make him angry. You are willing to keep your promise. We will definitely not offend you in the future!"

Su Rou did not answer, but quickened her pace to leave.

Bastard Gong Yu!

It disrupted her plans!

Su Rou climbed over the wall of Prince Yu's Mansion as if she knew the route well, but she searched the entire mansion under the moonlight and couldn't find Shen Yao...

She stood in the room with her hands on her waist, wondering where he had taken her.

Is there any other place to hide people besides Prince Yu’s Mansion?

The door was suddenly kicked open, and Su Rou froze in fear.

Gong Yu came in from outside with his men.

He was wearing pajamas with his hair loose, and his eyes staring at her showed no emotion.

Gong Yu crossed his arms, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "You are a beautiful woman, but you are a thief."
