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

The person sent by the Minister of Justice has returned.

Su Rou tightened the reins, ready to run away with Mrs. Zhang, but the man said, "People from the Xiguang Marquis's Mansion said they do have a young lady who lives on the farm and is coming back today. It's just as Miss Su said, she went to pick up this young lady today."

Su Rou was stunned.

Ok?

Why would someone from Xiguang Marquis Mansion say that? And it just so happened to be exactly what she said.

Obviously, someone was deliberately helping her.

The Minister of Justice looked back and Su Rou met his gaze.

Their eyes met, and Su Rou smiled. "Can I go now? The Minister of Justice has wronged me time and again. I will go and complain to the Emperor tomorrow!"

She spoke with confidence, completely devoid of the insecure look she had when she first arrived here.

The Minister of Justice had a very ugly face. When Su Rou was riding past him on her horse, she saw that he didn't even dare to fart, and she almost laughed out loud in her heart.

No one dared to speak. Fortunately, the soldiers of the general's mansion were more perceptive and ordered the soldiers to make way.

"Let the young lady pass!"

It would have been fine if the Minister of Justice had done it once, but he deliberately targeted her twice in a row. To others, this was no different from riding on her father's neck.

Not to mention others, even Su Rou herself felt it was too much.

Su Rou took Mrs. Zhang and sneaked back to the general's mansion.

Mrs. Zhang looked at the luxury in the yard and didn't even dare to raise her head.

Su Rou took Mrs. Zhang's hand and found a dress in her closet. "Put this on first. You can't wear tattered clothes when you're around me. It will easily arouse suspicion."

Today she also remembered that the Xiguang Marquis Mansion was a place that favored boys over girls, so she casually mentioned that Mrs. Zhang was a concubine's daughter.

The Xiguang Marquis Mansion is not a general's mansion, and she is a concubine's daughter. How many people are favored besides her?

Mrs. Zhang glanced at Su Rou and carefully took the clothes from her. "Miss... Although it's not appropriate for me to ask this, I still want to ask about your identity. Who are you?"

Mrs. Zhang was very cautious along the way. She was probably worried that asking about her identity would bring her fatal disaster, so she remained silent the entire time.

There is a saying that the more you know, the faster you die, so this Zhang Dasao is smart.

Su Rou said, "It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that your mother-in-law made a deal with me to save you and your husband. I need to bring you to her and you will tell her the cause of your husband's death."

She casually picked up an apple on the table and took a bite. "Hurry up, I'll take you to see your mother-in-law after dark."

Su Rou left the room and left her room to Mrs. Zhang to change her clothes.

The moment she turned her head, she bumped into Gong Yu's arms.

Gong Yu smiled and said, "The previous time it was accidental, but this time you took the initiative to throw yourself into my arms."

Su Rou pushed him away and asked, "What are you doing? Are you walking without making any sound?"

Gong Yu held her tightly, "Why are you so rude to your lifesaver? If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have saved you."

Su Rou frowned, "What can you help me with..."

and many more……

Could it be that Gong Yu helped him at the city gate?

Su Rou looked at him, "You convinced Xi Guanghou? How did you do that? Why did he help me?"

Gong Yu nodded. "When the Minister of Justice sent someone to the Xiguang Marquis's residence, I happened to be sitting at his house. He owed me a favor before, so I helped you out. I don't ask for anything else, I just hope you can treat me better in the future."

He looked at her with a sharp gaze.

Su Rou guessed that there was no such thing as owing Gong Yu a favor, but that the Marquis of Xiguang must have been instigated by Gong Yu a long time ago.

"Creaky--" The door behind her was opened, and Su Rou pushed Gong Yu's face away.

"Have you changed your clothes?"

Mrs. Zhang nodded and said, "Girl...this dress."

Su Rou threw a cloak to Mrs. Zhang and said, "Now all we have to do is wait until dark. Wait for me in the house and don't let anyone see us."

She now has to get rid of Gong Yu, this big trouble.

Gong Yu placed his head on top of hers. "Just now, I saw you had the door closed, and I thought you were hiding a mistress in your house and didn't want me to see you. Turns out it's a woman."

Su Rou felt a chill in her heart. She knew Gong Yu's identity well, so she was not interested in his kindness.

Su Rou said, "What will you do even if I hide a man?"

Gong Yu leaned over and said, "I'm curious about what you want to do. Take me with you. I can keep you safe."

Su Rou said, "No, I refuse. I just came back from outside and I'm a little tired. If you don't leave, I'll call someone to come and invite you."

Gong Yu frowned, "Alright, if you chase me away, I won't continue to be an eyesore in front of you."

Su Rou: “…”

Why does it smell like tea?

Where did he learn this?

Seeing Gong Yu being sent away by her, she breathed a sigh of relief.

What she did could be considered as treason, right?

But there is no other way.

As night fell, Su Rou and Mrs. Zhang got off the carriage. From a distance on the dark road, they heard the barking of dogs.

The jailer in charge of the Dali Temple led the way, "Miss Su, you must not tell the Shaoqing about what happened today. If I let you in to visit without permission, it would be enough for the Shaoqing to throw me into a mass grave."

Su Rou smiled and said, "Thank you for leading the way, brother. I just came in to visit the poisonous woman who saved my life in prison earlier. I didn't come in to take her out. Look, I even asked my maid to bring some food."

They arrived at the cell where the old woman was. In the corner, Su Rou saw the black figure curled up in the corner.

She had only been away for a few days, and this old woman was already being bullied in prison?

The jailer said, "You two can talk, I'll leave now."

The old woman raised her head and her eyes lit up when she saw Su Rou.

"You really did come back. I knew you wouldn't lie. Where's my son? Is his family okay?"

Su Rou looked at Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang took off her hat and cried, "Grandma..."

Su Rou said, "I only found her, as for your son..."

Mrs. Zhang knelt on the ground, took out the human skin from the bottom of the food box and handed it to the old woman.

"Why give me a pig skin?"

Su Rou said, "Have you ever killed anyone? Look at this pig skin, isn't it?"

The old woman was stunned. She looked at the human skin in her hand and suddenly howled loudly, "Son! Who made you look like this?"

Su Rou said, "It's the Ministry of Justice. Although all of this was done by the Ministry of Justice, you also know who the real murderer is behind this..."

He is the emperor of the Northern Kingdom, the crown prince, and everyone in the Northern Kingdom’s royal family!
