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

Sister Qiao is also a smart person, and she can understand the meaning of her words with just a little guidance.

"You..." Sister Qiao looked at Su Rou, stunned.

"Who are you?"

Su Rou raised her hand. After chopping firewood for a while, her slender wrist had obviously grown a little bit of flesh.

"I'm just a weak woman who can't take care of myself. Don't think there's anything wrong with me. It's just that your intentions with the young man you asked me to meet that day were a little too obvious."

Sister Qiao frowned, turned around and opened the door, "You've suffered today, go to bed early."

Su Rou looked at Sister Qiao's faint back as she left, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared. Sister Qiao didn't hear anything she said today.

When they woke up the next day, Su Rou and A Tian inquired about Sister Qiao's background.

Every girl in Hongluan Tower has a different reason for appearing here.

Some were bought by their own parents just to ensure that the male in the family could have enough to eat.

Some were sold as slaves and then rescued by the madam and brought into Hongluanlou.

Among them, Su Rou might be the only special one. She would not survive if she was not sent in.

Ah Tian said, "Sister Qiao sold herself here. Mother said that she only wanted 20% of the money the girls in Hongluanlou earned from performing, and the rest belonged to the girls themselves. Some girls earned more, some earned less, but some of them were willing to pay more to Mother, saying that after all, they regarded this place as their home. Mother also said that Sister Qiao only gave 20% every month, and the rest went to her sweetheart."

Gave them all to that young master?

oops...

It's really stupid...

Ah Tian asked back, "Sister, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking about Sister Qiao?"

Su Rou said, "It's okay, just asking casually."

Ah Tian continued, "But when I woke up today, I noticed that you and Sister Qiao seemed a little different. In the past, Sister Qiao would greet you when she saw you and me coming downstairs together, but she didn't today."

Sister Qiao was discovered by her yesterday to have poisoned Lord Jiang, so how could she still dare to greet her...

It's good enough that he didn't hate her so much that he wanted to kill her.

This little girl's observation skills are quite impressive...

Su Rou said, "You must have seen it wrong. Sister Qiao even greeted me with her eyes today."

"is it?"

"Yes."

She felt as if there was a pair of eyes staring at her from behind all day long, but when Su Rou turned her head to look over, the gaze disappeared again.

I work in Hongluan Building, so I shouldn't have offended anyone.

It was not until dinner time that she noticed Sister Qiao standing in the corner.

Su Rou found an opportunity and quickly turned her head to look at Sister Qiao, making it impossible for Sister Qiao to dodge.

She really caught Sister Qiao looking at her secretly.

Sister Qiao looked normal, but a hint of guilt flashed across her face.

I didn't dare look her directly in the eyes!

"What is Sister Qiao doing? Why are you standing in the corner sneaking around and watching me?"

Sister Qiao said, "Nothing, I just happened to be passing by."

Su Rou tilted her head and watched Sister Qiao leave quickly.

She ate, washed her face, and went upstairs to sleep.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and I even felt stuffy in the house at night.

Su Rou opened the window to let in some air and accidentally saw the carriage parked under Hongluan Tower.

This carriage should belong to Lord Jiang. Is he coming again?

No, maybe the girl from Hongluan Tower is leaving again.

It happened that a man on horseback came from a distance and stopped the horse steadily next to the carriage.

Su Rou was stunned for a moment, then quickly withdrew and sat on the ground.

That person...the clothes he is wearing are those of a guard of the Gong family!

How come people from the Gong family really came to Jingzhou?

"Jiang Yu's carriage?" Su Rou heard the guard on horseback ask.

"Yes, I am Master Jiang's groom. May I know who you are, Master?"

"I'm under the orders of Young General Gong and am searching for a woman. Have you seen her in Jingzhou?"

Su Rou pricked up her ears and listened to their conversation. Looking for someone?

The streets were not as lively as they were during the day, but rather deserted. However, Su Rou could hear what they were saying.

It must have been the Gong family's guard who took out the portrait. Lord Jiang's groom took a look at it and said, "I haven't seen it before. I wonder if Your Excellency could give me a copy of this portrait so I can take it back for Your Excellency to see."

"No need. I happened to be going to see Lord Jiang. Is he in the carriage right now? Or..."

The guard's voice was drawn out, and Su Rou secretly peeked outside from inside the house.

The guard looked at the gate of Hongluan Tower, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

The groom was anxious and said quickly, "Oh, there has been a murder here. Lord Jiang originally asked me to pick up a suspect and bring him to his palace for interrogation. In that case, General Gong's matter is more important. I will take you to Lord Jiang and detain the suspect here for the time being."

laugh!

It's really easy to tell lies without blushing or feeling nervous.

Su Rou looked at their receding backs and couldn't help feeling sad.

Could it be that Gong Yu is looking for me?

This……

It seems impossible...

She scratched her head, wondering what to do. She wanted to follow the guard and confirm whether the scroll in his hand looked like her.

Su Rou thought for a while, and finally climbed out of the window and caught up with the guard and the groom along the eaves.

The Jiang Mansion is located near the city gate. The coachman's words that he wanted to take the suspect over for interrogation sounded very fake.

There were no guards at the Jiang Mansion, only two servants standing at the door. She climbed over the wall and disappeared into the darkness.

"Hahahaha... Why don't you see Young General Gong for this behavior?" Lord Jiang came out of the main hall with a smile on his face, bowed to the guard and greeted him with a smile.

The guard clasped his hands together and said, "The Major General is still staying in the Northern Kingdom. He has ordered us to search for a girl throughout the former Northern Kingdom. This is the portrait of that girl."

The guard took out the scroll, and Su Rou lay on the eaves and took a look at it from a distance.

It's too dark to see...

Lord Jiang took the scroll, placed it in front of him and examined it carefully.

"She looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen her before. Who is this girl to General Gong?"

The guard replied, "It is inconvenient to tell you, sir. If you remember where you saw her, you must keep her here. I will stay in Jingzhou for the time being. Please help keep an eye on her."

Lord Jiang nodded.

"Ok."

The guard was about to leave. Su Rou was afraid of being discovered, so she immediately lowered her head and crouched down a little.

The servant beside Lord Jiang came forward to take a look and said, "Sir, this girl is indeed very pretty. Are you sure you've seen her?"

Lord Jiang said, "Don't you think it looks familiar? But I really can't remember where I've seen it before."

The servant shouted coldly, "The girl in this scroll has a dignified and pretty face, a truly stunning beauty. If you had seen her, my lord, I would certainly have remembered her as well."

Lord Jiang waved his hand and said, "Don't get any ideas. This man is General Gong's man. Go and fetch Qiao Qiao tonight. I didn't ask her to serve me well last time."

The servant nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go get him right away."

Su Rou watched Lord Jiang put the scroll in a study, then closed the door and came out.

He didn't stay inside for long, probably because he was afraid that he wouldn't go out to greet Sister Qiao when she came.

Su Rou confirmed that there was no one around, then climbed over the wall and entered the study.

As expected, she found the scroll that Lord Jiang had placed on the desk.

Unable to light a lamp, she opened the door and took a look in the dim moonlight.

The person on the scroll...

Is this her?

Gong Yu was indeed looking for her.

What does he want to see her for?

My father and the others should have been safely sent to the Southern Kingdom by my third brother. Could it be that Gong Yu discovered them? He wants to kill the whole family.

Su Rou looked solemn. She put the scroll back to its original place and slipped out quietly.

She saw Sister Qiao being taken to the Jiang Mansion, but she didn't think much about it and returned to Hongluan Tower alone.

The next time Meng comes, she will have to find a way to ask Meng to find out about the current situation of her father and the others.

"Sister, are you asleep?"

It's almost dawn.

A Tian's voice was heard outside the door.

Su Rou opened the door dazedly, "What's wrong?"

A half-grown child squatted at her door and cried loudly.

"Sister, Sister Qiao has been locked up by Lord Jiang. What should we do?"
