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

Su Rou waved her hand to indicate that everything was fine.

Since she chose not to go back, she was no longer the favored daughter of the general's mansion.

She knows all these things.

Mrs. Meng sighed, took out a purse from her bosom and handed it to her. "In that case, I will come to see you often in the future. Take this. It's better to have it with you than not to have it at all."

Su Rou vaguely felt that the purse was a little too light.

Meng left my father and lived a miserable life outside...

Su Rou said, "No, you can take it back. There's no use for me keeping the silver on me."

If she really needed it, she would rob those ruffians in Jingzhou.

Seeing that she really didn't want it, Mrs. Meng didn't say anything else.

It was getting dark outside, and Meng glanced outside.

"I have to go back first. I'll come back in a few days."

Su Rou nodded and said, "I'll take you out. Is your current residence far from here?"

Mrs. Meng shook her head. "It's a bit far. I come to the city every now and then to sell some small things to supplement my family income. I don't come here often."

Everyone has his own choice.

Although Su Rou wanted Meng to go back with her, she still felt that she should respect Meng's choice.

Su Rou sighed secretly. When she sent Meng out, Lord Jiang's men had already left Hongluan Tower.

It was said that he was poisoned, so he was escorted back to recuperate.

"Sister, are you free now?"

A Tian's voice came from behind him.

Su Rou lowered her head and glanced at A Tian, "Are you going to prepare dinner? I'll go help Qiao Er right away."

Ah Tian grabbed her clothes and shook her head, "No, Mom wants to see you and asks you to go to the room upstairs."

Su Rou guessed that the madam probably wanted to ask about her relationship with Meng.

Su Rou said, "I'm going to the backyard to help Qiao'er chop firewood first, and I'll come back up later. Tell her to wait for me for a moment."

Ah Tiantian nodded, "Then I'll accompany you."

Su Rou rolled up her sleeves and picked up the axe to chop wood while A Tian sat beside her and watched obediently.

Since Su Rou didn't go upstairs, the madam simply came down from upstairs to look for her.

The madam stood aside, watching Su Rou busy chopping wood with a worried look on her face.

Su Rou asked, "You are looking for me, but what's the matter?"

The madam looked at her with an inquiring gaze and asked cautiously, "What is your relationship with that gentleman from the Gong family?"

Su Rou put down the axe in her hand and said thoughtfully, "That lord and I... have a very close relationship. The young general of the Gong family was attracted to me, and I refused to obey him, so that young general Gong disfigured my face. It was this lord who saved me. You must not let that lord Jiang know. If he knew that I escaped from young general Gong, he might try to take me back and implicate this lord."

Su Rou spoke in a very logical and serious manner, describing Gong Yu as a stupid and incompetent waste.

Wasn't Gong Yu originally attracted by her beauty?

Su Rou lifted her hair confidently.

The madam was stunned when she heard this. "You... don't look bad, but the young general of the Gong family is not that kind of person."

Su Rou said, "No, he is!"

She was extremely firm, as if she was afraid that the madam might not believe her and have other ideas.

The madam hesitated, "This..."

Su Rou frowned, afraid that the madam wouldn't believe her, so she moved closer and said, "With my appearance, if it weren't for the scar on my face, I would be a top-notch beauty. Don't you believe me?"

She looked the madam in the eyes with sincerity.

The madam said, "Well, since you've entered Hongluan Tower, you belong to it from now on. When that master brought you here, I didn't think you two looked like mother and daughter. You actually have a story like this..."

Su Rou nodded, "I will definitely be obedient, but..."

She quietly and lightly hooked her small hand on the madam's hand hanging by her side, "I just want to ask you for a favor. I can do anything, and I'll eat anything you give me. I just hope you can guarantee my personal safety here..."

The madam asked in return, "Personal safety?"

Then he laughed again and said, "Isn't your personal safety guaranteed by that gentleman?"

Su Rou shook her head. "It's different. At least it's in Hongluan Tower, and you have the final say on every brick and tile under your feet."

The madam was probably amused by her words and nodded, agreeing with her.

"Okay~ But you have to be more careful and cautious when you stay in Hongluan Tower from now on. Don't be so unreasonable like you were today. After all, he is an elder that we, a small family, cannot afford to offend."

Su Rou didn't think that Lord Jiang was difficult to offend...

And wasn't what she said today the truth?

Su Rou smiled sweetly, "I'll try my best~"

If no one was causing trouble for her, she would certainly not be so wicked as to provoke the other party, but if the other party had nothing to do, then she would definitely seek justice for herself.

"Oh my God, how come they approved so many at once?" Qiao'er exclaimed when she came out of the kitchen.

While Su Rou was talking to the madam, she had already chopped all the firewood in the yard.

Su Rou said, "Ah... I forgot as soon as I spoke. I approved so many things, so I won't have to do anything for the next few days."

Qiao'er came over and bent down to pick up the firewood from the ground. "Arou, please help me pick up some and put it next to the stove. I need it tonight."

After Su Rou finished her work in the backyard and went upstairs, she ran into Sister Qiao standing at the stairs.

She smiled awkwardly, "Sister Qiao, why aren't you sleeping so late? Are you waiting for me?"

Sister Qiao looked away. "You've been too flamboyant today. I came to check on you and wanted to give you some advice, but seeing your expression, I know you don't take today's events to heart at all."

Su Rou felt that in Jingzhou, there was really nothing or anyone she cared about.

Su Rou said, "Sister Qiao has good judgment, but I think Sister Qiao might be a little too impatient and loses her patience... If she attacks Lord Jiang, she won't be afraid of implicating all the girls in Hongluan Tower."

Her voice was so light that the people downstairs couldn't hear her.

Sister Qiao was stunned for a moment and said, "You..."

Su Rou interrupted what Sister Qiao was about to say, "Sister, shall we go to the room and talk?"

"Ha~ I'm so sleepy. Let's go downstairs and find something to eat." A woman's voice came from downstairs. It happened that two girls who were paired together were passing by the stairs.

Su Rou interrupted at the right time.

This inevitably caused Sister Qiao to feel suspicious.

There was nothing much in Su Rou's room, and it looked a little deserted as soon as she entered.

Sister Qiao stared at Su Rou as she sat down on the stool. "Why did you say that I was the one who poisoned Lord Jiang?"

Su Rou poured herself a cup of tea. "You are the only one who could have poisoned Lord Jiang. I'm a little confused. Why did you choose a man with a family instead of someone as powerful as Lord Jiang? Lord Jiang treats the girls of Hongluan Tower like animals, but I think if you marry him, you might be able to change the current situation."

Isn't this spirit of sacrificing the self for the greater good possessed by these women who call themselves the white lotus in the world?

Sister Qiao said, "Master Jiang's matter is my fault. I got you involved. Don't tell anyone nonsense when you go out."

The tea in the cup had gone cold, and Su Rou's teeth chattered as she drank it.

She took a breath and put the cup on the table. "Sister Qiao, you are well-educated, virtuous and kind. You should understand one thing: men always use women as guns. You'd better not listen to what others say."

As she spoke, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile towards Sister Qiao.

If Lord Jiang was simply harassing Sister Qiao, he wouldn't have poisoned her directly like he did today.

I think someone instigated Sister Qiao.

Sister Qiao strode forward and grabbed Su Rou's wrist. "Who did you hear all this from?! You met him last time, but he's definitely not the kind of person who would casually tell others about our plan."

Su Rou suddenly smiled and said, "I just tricked you a little bit, and you admit it right away?"
