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

Shang Jiuyi exerted force and Yuan Wen was picked up by him.

He carried her into the mansion as if she were a child.

Yuan Wen said, "Didn't you say you would accompany me? Why are you sitting here again?"

Shang Jiu said, "I just came back. Please let me drink some water and ask the servants to prepare the carriage."

Yuan Wen felt that he was deliberately delaying time.

But he didn't dare say anything, for fear that if she had any objections, Shang Jiu would not take him with him.

Yuan Wen was a little anxious, but he could only suppress his emotions secretly.

Shang Jiu drank tea, ate two pieces of cake, and then drank tea for a while before he calmly took her out of the Shang Mansion.

Only Su Wan and Su Rou were missing from the Su family.

When they passed by, they felt that the yard was somewhat deserted.

The ones who came out to greet them were the third wife Ji and the fourth wife Su.

"I heard that there have been a lot of people coming in and out of the Yuan family these days. What are they doing?"

Yuan Wen choked up, she had already been kicked out of the Yuan family.

The Yuan family’s affairs have nothing to do with her anymore.

"Let's not talk about this for now. I want to ask, where are Su Feng and Su Chong? They shouldn't have been captured, right?"

When Su Feng was mentioned, Ji's face froze for a moment. "That day, the people from the desert attacked us. The eldest and second masters were both injured. Now they can only lie in bed and cannot move."

Yuan Wen asked, "Desert people? Do you know which one?"

Ji shook her head. "I don't know... but they only took the general away. Miss also followed them, but there has been no news for so many days... It would be great if the third brother was here. I don't know where he is now."

Yuan Wen's eyes darkened. The Su Rou from the Su family was fake. There was no news for so many days. I guess she went back to the desert with them?

Yuan Wen had a worst-case scenario in mind.

This attack was carried out by people from the eastern part of the desert, with the purpose of capturing Su Wan.

wrong……

General Su no longer has any military power in his hands. What's the point of them arresting him?

Furthermore, the Southern Kingdom didn't like the Su family either. What were they worried about? Why did they dare to arrest General Su so openly...

Yuan Wen still felt that this matter was related to His Majesty the Southern Kingdom.

Yuan Wen knew which Su Rou was the fake one, and he couldn't help but worry more about Su Wan's safety.

General Su really has no one who can save him now...

What to do now.

Can she ask Shang Jiu to help contact Su Chi?

Su Chi also holds an official position in the court, so it should be possible...

Perhaps His Majesty the Southern Kingdom knows where Su Chi went.

Yuan Wen showed a trace of embarrassment on her face. She could also understand the Third and Fourth Madams. After all, they were the only two who could move around in the mansion.

"Are Su Chong and Su Feng seriously injured?"

Ji said, "The eldest son had two broken bones. The doctor came to see him, and his wife is taking care of him. The second son was already weak, and the desert man was so strong and unreasonable that he knocked him flying and hit the wall. He only had some minor injuries, nothing serious."

She now really wants to give them some money to help them.

But when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she remembered that she was no longer the head of the Yuan family.

How can this be good?

The Su family has been doing business recently, so they should not be short of money.

Yuan Wen looked at Su, who was sitting aside and had not said a word.

"lady……"

Su seemed to be in a trance and didn't listen to what they had just said.

Hearing Yuan Wen's voice, he seemed to come back to his senses.

"Miss Yuan... would you mind talking to me alone?"

Yuan Wen was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to nod, Shang Jiu's voice came from outside the door.

"No, if you want to talk, just talk here. What's so shameful about it?"

Yuan Wen said, "She is Rourou's biological mother, you have to respect her!"

Shang Jiu looked disdainful. He didn't like the Su family in the first place. If it weren't for Yuan Wen, he wouldn't have bothered to come here.

"I am already giving them the greatest honor by accompanying you here."

Shang Jiu's words undoubtedly embarrassed Yuan Wen...

Su glanced at Shang Jiu and swallowed the words that seemed to be on the tip of her tongue.

"Miss Yuan, forget it. I was too talkative."

Yuan Wen was a little unhappy. If Shang Jiu was like this, he would never bring him here next time.

"He doesn't want us to be alone together, so let's find another opportunity next time..."

Yuan Wen stood up and prepared to leave.

Shang Jiu glanced at the two women in the room. Although he didn't like them, he would not make things difficult for them.

Walking out of Su Mansion, the sunlight outside was glaring, and Yuan Wen subconsciously squinted his eyes.

Shang Jiu raised his hand and lifted Yuan Wen's hair that was hanging by her ear.

"I asked a doctor to check your eyes yesterday. He said they could only let the blood clots in your eyes slowly dissipate on their own. If you feel any discomfort, tell me and I'll ask a doctor to check you out when I get home."

Yuan Wen slapped his hand away and said, "I won't bother you with my eyes."

Shang Jiu frowned, "I just said a few words to them, and you're angry?"

Yuan Wen said, "Rou Rou's biological mother wants to talk to me, but it's not convenient for you to hear. Don't you understand what she means?"

Shang Jiu said, "How many good people are there in the Su family?"

Yuan Wen was furious. Looking at Shang Jiu, she almost gritted her teeth and said, "You are a good person. Is this okay?"

Shang Jiu said, "I reminded you at the time to have less contact with their people."

Yuan Wen was so angry that he couldn't speak.

She didn't know whether the other members of the Su family were good people or not, but she was sure that Rourou would not hurt her.

And she is willing to treat Rourou's family well because of a friend like Rourou.

Shang Jiu brought her back to the Shang Mansion.

Yuan Wen locked himself in the house and refused to go out, feeling very depressed.

Su Wan’s life or death is uncertain, what should we do now?

In the evening, the maid came to ask her to go out and have dinner with Shang Jiu.

Yuan Wen looked at the food in front of him and felt no appetite.

Shang Jiu picked up a piece of seasonal vegetables for her with his chopsticks. "Although it's a little worse than what you used to eat, you should still eat some."

Yuan Wen said, "I'm still angry about what happened today! Don't try to get close to me."

As she spoke, she picked up the vegetables and put them back.

Shang Jiu didn't bother to be polite with her. He lowered his head and took a bite of the vegetables, eating with relish. The provocative look in his eyes made Yuan Wen feel disgusted.

Shang Jiu picked up another piece of fish with chopsticks and put it in her bowl. "Then I apologize to you. It's my fault. Can you forgive me?"

Yuan Wen took the fish back and said, "Not good."

Shang Jiu didn't hesitate this time and ate the big and tender piece of fish.

Only then did Yuan Wen realize something was wrong.

Did he want her to pick some food for him?

Even though he had passed it to her, she returned it to him, so it was hers...

Yuan Wen put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm not going to eat anymore. I'm going back to sleep."

Shang Jiu also put down his chopsticks. "What if you're hungry in the middle of the night? The food at the Shang Mansion is never left overnight. It's all delivered and cooked right away."

Yuan Wen said, "I won't be hungry when I fall asleep."

Shang Jiu held her hand and said, "Don't be silly. If you want to save Su Wan and Su Rou, you must at least eat well and take care of your body. The doctor said that you are very thin and weak and need to supplement your nutrition. The people in the Yuan family really can't even support a woman like you."

Yuan Wen said, "I'm not in the mood."

Shang Jiu held her tightly.

The two men were in a stalemate for a long time, and in the end Shang Jiu was the first to be defeated.

"I'll send someone to invite Su Rou's mother over right now. You can have a good meal, and I'll give you two some time alone together. Is that okay?"

Yuan Wen didn't want to just go along with what he said and make himself look like a submissive prisoner.

But she had no reason to refuse him.

I had no choice but to nod awkwardly.

When the fourth lady, Mrs. Su, came over, Yuan Wen was being asked by Shang Jiu to have a second bowl of rice.

"I really can't eat any more. I've already eaten a lot."

Shang Jiu held a chicken drumstick and said like he was coaxing a child, "Then have another chicken drumstick, and I won't let you eat anything else."

Yuan Wen frowned, took the chicken leg and took a bite of it.

Su was brought in by the maid.

Shang Jiu squinted his eyes, glanced at Su, took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, "You two can talk, I'm going to go out first."

Yuan Wen stood up and said, "Aunt, come with me for a walk. I also need to digest my food."

After walking a few steps, the two of them arrived at the garden of Shang Mansion.

"That Lord Shang is interested in you."
