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

Su Rou choked, then stood up without saying a word, regardless of what Gong Yu was going to do.

"Gong Yu! If you keep chatting like this, there will be nothing left for us to talk about."

Gong Yu looked at her and said, "Besides this, I don't want to talk to you about anything else. Are you going to continue avoiding me like this?"

Su Rou's hand was still tightly grasped by him, "No...you were almost killed yesterday, you should have a good rest."

She absolutely couldn't let Gong Yu find out that she wanted to leave.

Gong Yu softened his voice and murmured, "My neck hurts. I want you to stay and talk to me."

He grabbed her hand like a scoundrel and refused to let go.

Su Rou was at a loss, "Aren't you forcing me to stay and make a choice?"

Gong Yu's rough fingers gently stroked hers. "You deliberately told me about your conversation with the madam in Jingzhou. That day, you spoke without thinking, but today you hesitated. Did I make you unclear about your inner thoughts?"

Su Rou said, "You..."

She really didn't know how she felt about Gong Yu. Did she like him?

She felt that there wasn't one.

But he took advantage of her situation and forced her to have her body, and she had no intention of resisting Gong Yu.

Gong Yu's presence seemed a little dull next to her, as if he was just a dispensable person to her...

but……

If Gong Yu wanted to leave her, would she be reluctant?

she does not know……

A look of loss appeared on Gong Yu's face.

Su Rou said, "Well...I did it to piss you off that day, and I really didn't think it through. Now that I think about it, I still can't figure out what our relationship is."

Gong Yu said, "Then are you willing to... accept me?"

Su Rou said, "I don't know. Anyway, I hated a man and wanted to kill him from the bottom of my heart, but I don't have such feelings towards you. I... maybe I can accept you..."

Gong Yu put his arm around her waist, leaned on her shoulder and smiled softly.

Su Rou held his face in her hands. "Wait a moment. I have a question. Why can you let go of the hatred between our two families so easily? Putting aside other things, my father crippled your father's leg. Don't you resent us?"

Gong Yu picked her up and said, "That was the hatred my mother placed on me. She thought you were the cause of my brother's death, so she treated me as her brother."

"Victory and defeat are common in the military. If you can't accept this, then my father wouldn't be able to sit in this position."

As for his father's legs...

If someone from the Su family was captured by them on the battlefield, they would probably be missing an arm or a leg.

Su Rou looked at him, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a little sorry for him.

"Tell me about your brother?"

Su Rou sat down on the bed again.

When Su Rou came out of his room, she happened to run into Madam Gong who came with her maid.

Su Rou saw it just as she closed the door. She was so scared that she had to turn her head away quickly for fear that Madam Gong would see her face.

Su Rou had nowhere to hide, and her mask was not on, so she had to open the door again and go back into the room.

Are you kidding? This Madam Gong has a problem with her brain. She mistook Gong Yu for the dead eldest son. When they were in the South Country before, Madam Gong forced the bracelet on her because she thought she was given by the dead son and daughter-in-law.

Gong Yu in the room saw her sneakily squatting behind his bed curtain.

"What to do?"

"Yu'er." Madam Gong's voice came from the door.

Gong Yu looked towards the door and saw Madam Gong and her maid stepping over the threshold and coming in from outside.

"Yu'er, your father said you were injured, so mother came to see you."

Gong Yu sat up and said, "...The child is fine."

Madam Gong's hand gently stroked his cheek, and the pain in her eyes was about to overflow.

"Yu'er, does it hurt? Your father didn't even ask me to come over and check on your injury."

Gong Yu shook his head, "It doesn't hurt."

Madam Gong said, "I heard that the girl you brought back likes it, so I brought you some cakes. I saw her when I came in just now, but how come she's gone now?"

Gong Yu glanced at Su Rou who was hiding behind the bed, "She is... shy."

Madam Gong smiled awkwardly and said, "Is that so? Then after we leave, you can ask her to come out for dinner. You're not young anymore, and it's time for you to get married. The illegitimate son of the Shen family is two years younger than you and is already getting married. If the girl you brought back is willing, don't treat her badly. Ask your father to take you to propose marriage with me as soon as possible."

Gong Yu said, "I...I will try my best to convince her."

Gong Yu was also a little confused at this moment.

Su Rou looked at him and felt puzzled. Was he feeling unwell?

Madam Gong said, "Women like to be considerate. If you take better care of her, maybe she will be willing to marry you."

Gong Yu didn't respond, but just smiled and nodded in agreement.

Gong Yu treated her well indeed, but she could give up her identity to that fake Su Rou. Would Gong Yu be willing to give up the Gong family for her?

Su Rou thought about Gong Yuanzhi's attitude and already had an answer in her mind.

he can not.

The things she and Gong Yu experienced couldn't be called unforgettable...

Su Rou sighed secretly. Until now, she still firmly believed that her concept was correct. Men were unreliable, no one was reliable, and the only one who could be relied on was herself.

Madam Gong exchanged a few words with Gong Yu, and Su Rou secretly poked her head out.

Gong Yu sat cross-legged on the bed and said, "They've left. Come out."

Su Rou said, "I didn't know she would come to see you so suddenly, and she happened to see me without my mask..."

Gong Yu said, "Your mask was broken yesterday. I asked Huang Liao to prepare a new one for you."

Su Rou said, "Okay, I just happened to be going to see General Gong."

Gong Yu said, "Next time, if you see her, you don't have to be so sneaky. She hasn't done anything wrong."

She had been sleeping in Gong Yu's yard for the past two days. Although Gong Yu was always busy and didn't come back until late at night, Su Rou knew that after she fell asleep, Gong Yu would lie down next to her...

The two of them have always slept together.

Now that he was injured, it would be inappropriate for her to continue sleeping in the same bed with him.

"It's okay, I'm just worried about Madam Gong... After I go find General Gong, I'll just walk around the streets and come back later."

It was too inhumane for her to let Gong Yu, a wounded man, sleep on the floor. It seemed that she would have to sleep on the floor tonight.

Su Rou's eyes unconsciously glanced at her feet.

Forget it, just let Gong Yu sleep on the floor. She will tell Gong Yu when she comes back at night.

Gong Yu said, "Go out and put on your mask, and tell Huang Liao to follow you."

Su Rou opened the door and said, "I know."

When Su Rou left the yard, she ran into Huang Liao who came to give her a mask outside the yard.

He stood at the gate of the yard, without going in, and seemed to have been standing there for a while.

Huang Liao said, "Girl, this is a new mask."

Su Rou put it on herself and adjusted the angle. "It's really in the way... but I have to wear it."

Huang Liao said, "I'll have to let the girl suffer for a while."

When they leave the Southern Country, Su Rou won't need to carry this thing with her anymore.

Su Rou sighed, "It's okay, you go first, I'll go talk to General Gong."

Huang Liao followed behind her without moving, "Miss... I just heard that the general told me to accompany you when you leave the palace."

Su Rou's new mask is a fox mask with a painted face, which is less scary than her original one.

"I'm not going to run away. What are you doing? You're so annoying."

Huang Liao hesitated for a moment, because he knew that if he told her, she would be annoyed...

But if he didn't tell her, Su Rou would really slip away when he wasn't paying attention.

Su Rou waved her hand and said, "I'll call you when I'm better."

The Su family does not have any military power now, they are just doing business. My father was captured by people in the eastern part of the desert, and Su Rou felt that he was in great danger.

But she had to find a way to bring her father back, even if it was just his body...

If she were to go into the desert again, she would need help. Just a dozen people wouldn't be enough...

Gong Yuanzhi was sitting in the yard drinking tea.

Seeing Su Rou coming, he asked the maid to pour her a cup as well.

"Have you finished talking to Yu'er?"

Su Rou sat down opposite him, "Well, I have something..."

"I support your marriage with Yu'er, but this has been a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words since ancient times, and neither can be omitted. When are you planning to go back? Your father is not around... you have to ask your mother to come forward and make the decision." Gong Yuanzhi interrupted Su Rou before she could finish her words.

Su Rou: “?”

This is not what she wanted to say.
