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

Su Rou said, "Yes, you just need to tell me what is right."

This one gold bar is enough for these people to have comfortable food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

Even living a wealthy life...

The woman said, "Is the person you are talking about fair and tender?"

Su Rou thought about it and felt that Meng was also fair and tender.

"Yes, where is she?"

The woman looked at Su Rou, then looked at Gong Yu beside her with vigilance.

"That's Lao Meng, Lao Che's wife. She looks so sexy even in her tattered clothes."

Su Rou ignored the other party's insults against Meng.

"So, where is she? Please show me the way."

"Old Che's house is the one by the river. You can just go there directly. Old Che has a bad temper, so I don't dare to go there... I guess he's drinking at home right now."

Su Rou looked in the direction the woman said and said, "Okay, thank you."

Su Rou handed her the gold bar.

The woman took it, watched them leave, and put the gold bar in her mouth and bit it to confirm its authenticity.

The houses in this village are all in good condition, except for the dilapidated one that the old lady mentioned, which seems to be drafty everywhere.

Su Rou asked Gong Yu, "Should we call Andre over?"

Gong Yu said, "Don't shout."

Su Rou said, "I think so too."

Aren't they both clearly excluding Andre?

There is a small vegetable patch in front of the house, but now nothing is planted in it and it is bare.

"Knock knock" Gong Yu walked up the stairs and knocked on the door twice.

A middle-aged man's dull voice came from the room.

"Who is it?"

The voice was rough and drunken. He must have drunk too much.

Gong Yu said, "The government is investigating people."

The man's voice was filled with impatience. "Here we are, here we are. You're checking people all day long. What wanted criminals could be hiding in this remote place like ours?"

"Creaky--" The door was opened, but Gong Yu standing outside did not look like a government official.

Not to mention anything else, which official would bring a woman with him when he goes out?

Just as the man was about to close the door, Gong Yu put his long arm against it.

"You... who are you?! I'm telling you, I'm not afraid of you!"

Gong Yu glanced at Su Rou behind him and asked, "Can we destroy this place?"

Su Rou said, "Okay."

Anyway, all we have to do is find the second wife, Mrs. Meng.

Nothing else matters.

Moreover, from what Su Rou heard from the woman just now, she roughly understood that Meng's life here was not very good either.

Instead of this, it would be better to follow her back.

Going back to my father is at least better than living a hard life now.

Gong Yu punched the door, and it shook three times.

Due to inertia, the man was pushed to the ground by the door panel.

Su Rou lifted her skirt and walked up the stairs. She looked at the decoration of the house.

The room was in a mess, with only a thatched mat on the floor.

There is only this one room, and it doesn't look like it can hide anyone.

Su Rou said, "Where's your wife?"

The man's surname was Che. He had just finished drinking, and his dark face was flushed, with a strange glow.

"daughter in law?"

The dazed man sat up from the ground, propped himself up and looked at Su Rou again.

Suddenly he laughed and said, "Oh, it's you. You look a little different. I didn't recognize you."

After hearing what he said, Su Rou was sure that they had not found the wrong place.

Andre said that Meng went to Jingzhou City to look for her once.

However, because Hongluan Tower had been burned down by fire, Meng Shi could not find her.

Su Rou said, "You'd better explain. Both I and the person next to me have bad tempers. Where's your wife?"

She thought that Meng would choose to run away for what kind of man.

If my second brother saw the living environment of Meng, he would probably be heartbroken.

The man lay on the ground, looking like a scoundrel. "Your clothes are worth a lot of money, right? You are indeed Su Wan's daughter. If you give me money, I will tell you where she is."

Su Rou took out another gold bar from her purse. "This is enough for you to live a wealthy life for the rest of your life. First, tell me where she is. Since you recognize me, you should know that I am not that easy to fool."

The man said, "Give me the money first, and I'll tell you."

The two were at a stalemate.

There was no way Su Rou would give in even a little.

"If you don't tell me, then you don't want this."

The man shrugged and lay down on the floor. "I don't know about that. Go back and remember to compensate me for the door you broke."

Gong Yu lowered his head, staring at the floor beneath his feet with burning eyes.

"I should know where it is."

Su Rou looked at him, "What?"

Has Gong Yu been here before?

As soon as he finished speaking, Gong Yu slammed his fist on the floor.

Sawdust flew everywhere, leaving a dark hole in the floor.

Is this empty down there?

Gong Yu said, "Just now, when I was outside, I noticed that the space under this building was not right. After I came in and walked on it, the feeling was also wrong."

Su Rou squatted at the entrance of the cave and looked inside. "Would the Meng family be here? People can live down here..."

Her words were choked for a moment, because she saw a slender human hand in the darkness.

"Hey! This is my house! Get out of here! You damaged my floor, and you have to pay me in gold bars."

Suddenly, Su Rou pressed the man's face with her hand.

"If you need a handy tool, then you can do it." Su Rou grabbed the man's legs and threw him over like a hammer, smashing him hard to the ground.

Su Rou enlarged the hole that Gong Yu had made infinitely so that she could see the situation inside clearly.

From the outside, this house seems to have only one floor, but once you get inside, you will find that the floor below is empty and you can only go down from the inside.

It was pitch black down there, without even a window.

There was nothing under the vegetable cellar, just some green onions and peppers, which were what we usually eat, and not even a piece of meat.

Meng was lying naked on a haystack, with scars all over her wrists and neck.

Gong Yu looked away and said, "It's not convenient for me to go down, so be careful."

Su Rou jumped down from the cave entrance and said, "I know."

Su Rou took off her cloak and covered Meng with it.

Perhaps because she hadn't seen the sun for a while, Meng's skin was snow-white.

She tried to breathe and was still alive.

Su Rou felt relieved.

"Gong Yu, there's a ladder down here. You can climb up. The entrance should be in the corner on the left side of the wall as you enter the house."

Gong Yu looked around and moved the cabinet in the corner away.

The man was very smart. He laid a blanket over the entrance. The blanket was a bit old and must have been picked up.

"You can't take her away! She loves me! She loves me the most! Didn't she know that she didn't follow your father? She escaped from your Su family just for me! She is mine!" The man lay on the ground, shouting at Su Rou at the top of his lungs.

It seemed as if Su Rou was going to take away his most precious treasure.

Gong Yu stepped on the man to stop him from crawling towards Su Rou.

Su Rou brought Meng up and wrapped her tightly.

"Gong Yu asked the soldiers guarding outside the village to come over and send Meng back to the governor's mansion and ask the old woman to take care of her."

Gong Yu said, "Let Andre go and call."

Anyway, there is absolutely no way he would leave her even for a moment.

Su Rou raised her eyes and looked at the man. "Meng was also a princess in the past. Although she was a princess of a fallen country, she has never touched a woman since she married my father. Are you her sweetheart when she was a princess?"

Su Rou stood up. "I don't understand all these twists and turns, but I know that my father at least treated her with respect. I'll have someone give her some water. If she wakes up and complains to me that you abused her, I don't care if you're her lover or not, you're dead."

The man said, "She did it willingly! What does it have to do with me?! If she had agreed to sell the things I took off your body to buy me alcohol, I wouldn't have come up with such a plan."

Su Rou: “?”

What can I do?

The man let the cat out of the bag himself.

"You're exchanging her for money?" Su Rou remembered how the villagers when she and Gong Yu entered the village tried to avoid them as outsiders.

It seems that they are also related to the Meng family's affairs.

But due to the temptation of money, they chose to betray the man.

This village...

It seems like there is something he doesn't want to spread.

When Andre came over, he was holding someone in his hand.

Seeing that Gong Yu and Su Rou had found the person, they threw the captured person into the small vegetable garden at the door.

Su Rou said, "Don't throw it away, I still have something to ask you."
