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

Jiang was forced into a corner by her.

"you……"

Su Rou stared at her with a dangerous look in her eyes, "What about me? My father is calling me."

Her ridicule directly hit Jiang's spine.

When Jiang was pregnant with her eldest brother a few years ago, she was acting pretentiously while pregnant, and designed to make her father believe that the second, third and fourth wives in the mansion wanted to harm the eldest son.

She did all sorts of things and ended up ruining her body, making it impossible for her to get pregnant again.

This is only the case in the general's mansion, and her father is a good man. If it were in any other mansion, the infertile lady would have been neglected and locked up in the backyard or the woodshed long ago.

Su Rou returned to the yard, changed her clothes and went to the front yard again.

Su Wan had been waiting in the main hall for a long time. When he saw Su Rou coming in from outside, the corners of Su Wan's mouth drooped deliberately.

Su Rou bowed obediently, "Father."

Angry?

Maybe so.

Su Wan sighed deeply, "Arou, where did you go today?"

Su Rou said, "I was originally reading in the yard, and then I was abducted by His Royal Highness Prince Yu, so I... went to play by the lake for a while."

"My dear lady, you lie without blinking an eye." At this time, Jiang came in from outside.

Su Rou turned her head and asked, "What? Were you blind and didn't see it when you were in the backyard just now?"

She was not lying, she was just telling the truth. Besides, if she pushed Gong Yu out as a shield, Gong Yu would probably be severely punished by his father tomorrow.

"I mean, it's obvious that you, my dear, ran away from the palace on your own and were sent back by His Royal Highness Prince Yu. Everyone in the court knows that His Royal Highness Prince Yu is good at literature but not martial arts. He wouldn't have to hire someone skilled in martial arts to climb over the wall just to take you out, right?"

Jiang Shi really shouldn't say...

Su Rou said, "Just because he can write doesn't mean he can't climb a wall because he's missing limbs. Daddy, why don't you call the maid in the backyard today? Someone saw it when she came back just now."

Gong Yu slammed the table. "Why are you being so aggressive? I don't blame Arou."

These words were said to Jiang.

Jiang choked, shut her mouth in dismay, and stood aside. "She went out with a man and came back late at night. Who knows if she's still a virgin."

Jiang's mumbling was so soft that Su Rou heard it.

Su Wan must have heard it too.

Su Rou said, "If you say this about me, I'm afraid you must have accepted the Crown Prince's money. I went to the palace today, and the Crown Prince spread insulting words about me among the people, the same as what you are saying now. His Highness Prince Yu and my confidant have been spoken of so badly by you. When my father goes to the morning court tomorrow, I will go with him and tell him that the Crown Prince has extended his hand too far and that our General's Mansion has also been affected. What do you think?"

Su Wan said, "Arou, your aunt is probably worried about you. What she said may be a little unpleasant to the ear, Arou, just pretend you didn't hear it."

Su Wan looked at Jiang again and said, "Don't let me hear such words in the mansion from now on. Ah Rou is a girl who has not yet married. Even if there is nothing going on between Ah Rou and Prince Yu, you will definitely say something."

That's all?

Su Rou frowned. It was too easy for Jiang to be scolded by her father verbally. She had warned Jiang before.

This gossipy woman...

Sure enough, I still need to clean up.

Su Rou said, "Father, when I entered the palace today, the Emperor had already made the decision for me and resolved the issue that the Crown Prince had caused. But I still have one thing I want to tell you, Father. Prince Yu seems to have a strong admiration for me and even threw me into the lake today. After I came back, I changed my clothes and came to see you late."

Su Rou's voice was gentle, "Father... His Royal Highness Prince Yu is so scary... I'm scared."

Su Wan said, "When Prince Yu approached you a while ago, I went to test him, but he was so careful that I couldn't find any flaws. Prince Yu is not from our country. Ah Rou, don't have any contact with him in the future."

So, Dad had already noticed that there was something wrong with Gong Yu?

But there is one question that has always puzzled Su Rou.

Su Rou asked him, "Father, have you ever met the great general of the Southern Kingdom?"

Su Wan said, "I have seen it, what's the matter?"

Su Rou asked again, "Have you ever met the eldest son of the Southern Kingdom's general?"

Su Wan also nodded, "I have seen it, but the child was very young, he should have grown up by now."

Su Rou was stunned. If her father had seen the great general of the Southern Kingdom, he would have recognized Gong Yu's face...

Gong Yu is not the biological son of the Southern General?

Su Rou: “…”

Bastard?

This idea is even more terrifying. In order to hide his identity, it is not impossible that the Southern Kingdom asked a general's illegitimate son to come to the Northern Kingdom to act as a spy.

She had very few memories about Gong Yu in her mind, and she knew about the existence of Gong Yu only from what she heard from others.

Su Rou said, "Okay...I understand."

Su Rou was about to stand up, but her head felt dizzy. She lost her balance and fell back into the chair.

Su Wan reached out and gently touched her forehead, "Arou, you feel a little hot."

Su Wan quickly stood up from his chair, "You just said you fell into the water today, right?! Go to the palace and ask the imperial physician to come over!"

Jiang stood there unmoved until Su Wan's voice was tinged with anger.

"What are you still standing for?"

After Su Wan said this, she actually felt her cheeks starting to get hot.

Looking back, when did she become ill from playing in the water?

This is all Gong Yu’s fault!

Su Rou was sent back to the yard by Su Wan. She lay on the bed with her head spinning.

The imperial physician who came to see her took her pulse and said, "The young lady has indeed caught a cold, but... she also has some symptoms of qi stagnation and heart stagnation. I will give her a decoction. Go and boil it for her to drink. It will first suppress the cold symptoms."

Su Rou fell into a deep sleep, but her body temperature gradually rose during the night, and she opened her eyes in a daze.

Taking advantage of the moonlight in the darkness, he groped his way to the table, found a bowl of water on the table, and drank it down in one gulp.

"cough!"

Who would put such a bitter medicine in a place like this...

She couldn't swallow the medicine in her mouth, so she picked up the teapot on the table and shook it, but it was empty.

She was a little helpless.

"Creaky--" Su Rou pushed open the door and came to the yard. The cool breeze blew across her cheeks, and her body temperature dropped slightly.

The moon is bright and hanging high in the sky.

After dawn, she still had a fever for the whole day and her throat was dry and uncomfortable.

It's night again.

She propped herself up and got up from the bed groggily.

"Miss, are you awake?" There was no maid in her courtyard, but she had been burning with fever for a whole day and night, and her father did not dare to leave her here alone.

Su Rou said, "Water..."

The maid nodded, "Miss, I'll pour it for you."

The maid was knocked unconscious by someone from behind and pressed down on the table.

Su Rou looked over. Her head was hazy, and her eyes were blurry as well.

The man poured a glass of water and walked to the bed. Only when he got closer did Su Rou see who he was clearly.

Gong Yu handed her the teacup in his hand and said, "I'm here to apologize. If I had known that your body was so fragile, I shouldn't have thrown you into the water that day."
