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

The stall owner suddenly lowered his voice, "Tell me, how could that general tolerate such a grain of sand in his eyes? He gave up his good job as the governor of Jingzhou to flirt with a girl. Even if he liked her, he couldn't do that..."

Su Rou blinked. Is Gong Yu... really so selfless?

Suddenly, a candied haws appeared in front of her, and it was a dry and rough hand.

Su Rou was stunned for a moment, "Hmm...hmm?"

The owner of this hand is a dark-skinned man, "Girl, I'll treat you to a meal."

Su Rou said, "Ah?"

Why did this person suddenly want to give me candied haws?

Before she could ask what was going on, the candied haws vendor ran away carrying the entire target.

Su Rou: “?”

She looked at the red candied haws that were forced upon her by the other party and was at a loss for a moment.

Then, opposite the stall, the bun vendor picked up two hot meat buns from the drawer, threw them into the oil paper wrapper, and came to Su Rou in three steps as if in one.

"The noodles at his place are really boring. Girl, try eating two buns to change the taste."

Su Rou grabbed the bun seller who was about to leave and said, "I didn't want your buns, and I don't have money to buy them."

Unexpectedly, the boss waved his hand and said, "It's okay, girl, if you like it, just come to my house next time and get it. I won't charge you any money, I'll just give it to you."

The bun shop owner pulled the clothes out from under her hands and ran away.

Su Rou's brows furrowed even deeper.

The noodle stall owner said, "This old man Li is very strange. Why is he so generous today?"

Su Rou asked, "Boss, do you recognize them?"

"Of course I recognize the people who set up stalls here all day long, but I don't know why they all want to give you food."

Su Rou looked at the busy street behind her, but no one was following her...

This thing was not of unknown origin. It was delivered to her personally by the stall owners. It seemed like someone was secretly feeding her.

Su Rou opened her mouth and took a bite of the candied haws. Just as she took a bite, a roast chicken was thrown from the side and landed steadily on the table in front of her.

Su Rou looked around suspiciously again, but the result was the same. The pedestrians on the road had no change in expression, and she couldn't see anything wrong.

The noodle stall owner laughed and said, "Oh, girl, are you being spotted by some young master?"

Su Rou scratched her head and took another bite of the candied haws. "Who is so blind as to fancy me?"

But these things do come at a good time, and they come in a wonderful way.

Su Rou has always had a good appetite, and she didn’t feel full after finishing the two bowls of noodles she ordered.

Su Rou ate it with peace of mind, not caring who sent it to her. Even if there was poison in it to harm her, it shouldn't matter.

Who would harm her by taking away her favorite food?

In the dark, the two guards watched Su Rou sitting there and finishing a whole roast chicken, then patted her stomach in satisfaction and got up to leave, and they couldn't help swallowing.

Miss Su looks thin, but she has a really good appetite.

Moreover, when they followed her into the city just now, she clearly saw the two heads hanging on the city gate, which had already rotted beyond recognition. Now she can still sit here and eat without being affected at all. Her mental strength is also impressive.

Now, just by looking at the lightly roasted chicken, they couldn't help but think of those two rotten heads...

Su Rou continued walking forward, holding the uneaten candied haws in her hand.

Suddenly, an armored soldier on horseback came towards Su Rou from the front of the crowd.

People on both sides of the street moved away.

Seeing this, Su Rou quickly stood aside and turned her back.

She had seen the clothes these people were wearing before in the Southern Kingdom Palace.

Gong Yu couldn't be still in Jingzhou?

After those people passed, pedestrians on both sides resumed their journey and continued forward.

"Crack" she bit off the last candied haws and threw the bamboo stick in her hand to the side of the road.

Southern country.

The weather was good today, and the courtyard of the Su Mansion was filled with mahogany boxes tied with red ribbons.

Su Wan stood on the steps with his hands on his waist, looking at the matchmaker who came to deliver gifts and reading the gift list with a smile, his face became increasingly gloomy.

"The Shen family is in a hurry to get married and then go to the underworld, so they sent the betrothal gifts so quickly! The old man from the Shen family has never come to see me in person, only Shen Yao and Shen Changming are running around! They have no manners! I won't marry my daughter, and take back all the gifts."

Su Wan had been thinking of finding an excuse to delay the day, but he didn't expect the Shen family to come so shamelessly.

The matchmaker's smile froze for a moment, and she quickly stepped forward and said, "General Su, this... Master Shen just wanted to settle this matter first before coming to see you. General, please don't be angry. I hope you will accept these betrothal gifts. After all, Miss Su and Master Shen are in love with each other, and you can't break their fate, right!"

Su Wan snorted coldly, "That old man doesn't care. If Old Man Shen comes again, I won't marry my daughter to him. Second brother! Get rid of him!"

Su Feng rushed out of the house, and the servants who came to the yard to give gifts took two steps back in fear.

Su Feng said, "Father, why don't you let me go if I'm fine? Why don't you let the boss go?"

Su Wan glared at him and said, "If the boss wants to take action, we can't stop him."

Then Su Wan looked at her with disdain, "Kick her out. You're such a disgrace. You have no sincerity at all, and yet you still want to marry Arou."

Su Feng pointed at the people in the courtyard and said, "The Shen family's sincerity is good enough. If you marry my younger sister off sooner, you will feel at ease, right? My younger sister is not going to enter the palace for selection. Can I still ask the Shen family for a thousand taels of gold for a red dress?"

Su Wan turned around and stepped into the house. "So what? If the Shen family is really sincere, they should show off their wealth!"

Su Feng was speechless. Su Rou and Shen Yao's relationship probably hadn't reached that stage yet. Moreover, their Su Mansion was no longer called the General's Mansion. The Shen family was able to come up with these things, which was already a great honor for him considering his title as the former General of the Northern Kingdom.

Su Wan was stubborn and Su Feng didn't know what to say.

The matchmaker standing in the corner seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Su Feng said, "You guys go back for now and ask Mr. Shen to come and discuss the marriage with us in person. Don't send gifts directly here anymore. It will be very troublesome for you to carry them back and forth."

"Hey?" The matchmaker was about to say something when Su Feng called the servants in the mansion to see the guests off.

After they all left, Su Feng came into the room to find Su Wan.

"Given our family's current situation, can you still protect my little sister for the rest of her life?"

Su Wan still looked determined, "As long as I'm still alive, no one else can marry Arou! Unless I see sincerity and can ensure that person will really treat Arou well for the rest of his life!"

Su Feng sat down on the chair and said, "Shen Yao treats her well, and we don't need my younger sister's dowry to supplement our household expenses. If you are so stubborn, why don't you ask my younger sister for her opinion?"

Su Wan said, "Arou just doesn't know what she wants, so she just agreed to Shen Yao casually! Didn't you hear what Miss Yuan said about the agreement they reached?"

"I heard that, but every girl has to get married. Looking at you like this, I know that it must have been Si Niang who persuaded you, but now you see someone coming with the betrothal gifts, you've changed your mind."

"I understand that you can't bear to leave my little sister, but if you do this, you will definitely offend the Shen family."

The Shen family now has more say in the Southern Kingdom than them. At least, Shen Yao holds a position in the palace.

Su Wan had a gloomy face. He felt that what Su Feng said was very noisy. He talked a lot but didn't say what benefits Arou would get from marrying into the Shen family.

"Bang," he slammed the table, "If they really have the guts, they can come to the mansion and kidnap Ah Rou to be their daughter-in-law."

Su Wan said this, stood up and left.

Su Feng: “…”

Why is he so stubborn?

"Second brother..." Su Rou's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Su Feng looked in the direction of the sound and saw Su Rou poking her head in from outside the door.

"Little sister, come here."

Su Feng waved and came over.

Su Rou stepped over the threshold, "Second brother, were you angry with father just now? Was it because of my marriage with Shen Yao?"

Su Feng is now in charge of the family's money, and he has inexplicably become more elegant.

"Are you free today? Ask Shen Yao to come to the mansion."

If I want to marry my younger sister off, I have to solve my father's problem first.

The solution to the father's problem is to find Shen Yao.
