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

The matter between Su Rou and Gong Yu has not yet become widely known.

Even if it was to be spread, Su Rou felt that it had to wait until she had dealt with all the affairs in the Southern Kingdom.

Shang Jiu's eyes seemed to be doubting her relationship with the Gong family.

Shang Jiu frowned, "Is Gong Yuanzhi so shameless that he wants to take a concubine at his age?"

Su Rou: “…”

Is there shit in Shang Jiu's head?

Su Rou said, "Can't I be the future young mistress of the Gong family?"

Shang Jiu said calmly, "Who? With Gong Yu?"

Su Rou raised her chin and said, "Yes, that's right."

Shang Jiu suddenly burst out laughing, "Gong Yu is obsessed with Su Wan's daughter Su Rou, and now Su Rou is married to Shen Yao. How could he possibly marry another woman? Unless that woman holds a high position and can bring some benefits to the Gong family."

Then he looked Su Rou up and down, "You are not a woman in a high position."

Su Rou stretched out her index finger and waved it in front of him. "You don't understand now. It doesn't matter whether I'm in a high position or not. What matters is that even if I'm just a girl from the Red Mansion, Gong Yu will still be obsessed with me."

Shang Jiu listened to her words and laughed so hard that his jaw almost couldn't close.

"I've seen narcissistic people before, but I've never seen anyone as narcissistic as you. We should get Gong Yuanzhi out as soon as possible. If he cooperates with the investigation, we can finish this and leave sooner."

Su Rou sat in the main seat, crossed her legs leisurely, and even put her feet on the table.

This action shows disrespect for the host's status.

Unless it was His Majesty or the princess, if someone from the General's Mansion saw it, they would definitely tell Gong Yuanzhi.

Su Rou said, "Come, bring a pot of tea and a plate of cakes. I want to talk to Master Shang all night long."

The maid who was waiting outside the door appeared at the door, bowed respectfully to Su Rou, then turned around and prepared for Lixia District.

Su Rou looked at Shang Jiu. Doesn’t this prove her status and position?

Su Rou tapped the table with her index finger.

"The fire at Zui Xiang Lou can be blamed on our General Gong. Isn't that a bit too much? After Master Yuan Wen came to power, the Yuan family encountered disasters one after another. What does this prove? It means that Master Yuan Wen's destiny is not good enough to suppress the arrogance of the Yuan family. Only when Miss Yuan was the head of the family, nothing happened. Isn't this enough to prove the problem?"

Shang Jiu looked a little surprised. He didn't expect Su Rou to praise Yuan Wen.

"But if you think about it carefully, the incident with the Yuan family happened after you returned to the capital from Jingzhou. Does this mean that you are destined to be unlucky with the Yuan family?"

Su Rou leaned on the armrest of the armchair, bored.

"No, no, no, it just means I have a strong destiny. When I came back, I helped Miss Yuan clean up the Yuan family's garbage. From this perspective, I really do get along well with Miss Yuan."

Shang Jiu frowned, "You are just making up stories!"

Su Rou crossed her legs. "Aren't you just trying to make up your mind? Is there irrefutable evidence that the fire at Zui Xiang Lou was caused by General Gong? Or is His Majesty deliberately trying to pin the blame on General Gong?"

The one behind Su Rou, you got it right.

But Shang Jiu would not give in so easily. "Of course someone saw Gong Yuanzhi appear at Zui Xiang Lou early in the morning."

Su Rou said, "Bring the person up here. If you want to commit perjury, you need physical evidence. Physical evidence is like a mountain, and no one can escape. Lord Shang: Why don't you go back with your limp legs and investigate the physical evidence carefully?"

"Bang!" Shang Jiu slammed the table in anger.

Su Rou smacked her lips. "Can you still slam the table and stand up? You have a little self-awareness with a lame leg. You are such a loyal dog to His Majesty, but you should have your own opinions. What if His Majesty orders Miss Yuan to be killed one day? What will you do? Do you do as His Majesty says, or take Miss Yuan away from here?"

Su Rou felt angry when she looked at Shang Jiu. This bastard has no brains at all. He thinks it doesn’t matter because the fire can’t burn him?

The heart of an emperor cannot be guessed, and he is just a dog kept by that old man.

If one day you feel that Shang Jiu is useless, you can just kick him away and throw him away.

Shang Jiu was speechless after what she said.

"You really have a very sharp tongue!"

Su Rou said, "Thank you for the compliment. Do you want me to praise your strengths too? Your legs and feet look very good."

"you!"

Su Rou's words can make people angry to death.

The reason why Shang Jiu dared to appear in the general's mansion so openly was because of that old man's intention.

That old guy might have already set his sights on Gong Yuanzhi.

Without the Yuan family, the old man should be anxious about how to deal with Gong Yuanzhi...

hiss……

The army from the eastern part of the desert is still invading frequently. Otherwise, I should write a letter and ask Gong Yu to give in, let the people from the east come in, and kill the old man directly to seize power.

But it will be more troublesome if you want to regain the rights later.

It would be better to start a rebellion and let the eleventh prince ascend the throne.

Whether the Eleventh Prince is willing or not, she has to find a way to leave him no choice.

Neither she nor the Gong family had any interest in imperial power; they just wanted to live a stable life. Therefore, after much thought, Su Rou still felt that the eleventh prince was more suitable.

Su Rou stood up and asked, "Do you want to call someone to push you out or do you want me to throw you out?"

Shang Jiu said angrily, "I'll go by myself!"

Shang Jiu couldn't defeat her. He was like a dumb person, unable to express his suffering in front of her...

When Yuan Wen saw what happened to Zui Xiang Lou and the Yuan family, he should have realized that he had helped.

Yuan Wen needs to quickly regain her status as the head of the family, as she also needs the Yuan family's Yufang Chamber of Commerce to help her with some things.

Su Rou went back to her room and slept for a while. When she opened her eyes, it was dark outside.

Su Rou yawned, stretched her arms, and prepared to go and have dinner with Madam Gong and Gong Yuanzhi.

With Gong Yu away, there were only her and the two elders in the mansion.

But just as she walked out the door, Su Chi's voice came from above her head.

Su Chi sat on the eaves and said, "Don't go look for Gong Yuanzhi yet, the second brother is coming."

Su Rou looked up and saw Su Chi sitting under the moonlight. His stern face was a little scary at the moment, as if he wanted to fight with his second brother.

Su Rou said, "Third brother, why did second brother come here suddenly?"

Su Chi said, "I've been going in and out of the General's Mansion frequently recently, and the Second Brother has been watching me, so he came to find me."

Su Rou tilted her neck to look at him and felt a little tired, so she simply jumped up from the eaves.

She sat down next to Su Chi, "Then why don't you go over? Third brother, there's no need for you to hide from the people in the Su Mansion like I do."

Su Chi said, "It's not convenient to involve the second brother in what we are doing."

Su Rou realized that Su Chi was talking about treason.

Su Rou said, "Third brother, if you don't go, given Second Brother's personality, he will definitely continue to follow your footsteps and investigate. It's better to show up in front of him as soon as possible and let him dispel his doubts."

Although none of them mentioned this matter, Su Rou knew that the second brother was injured by the knife that was plotted against him by the emperor of the northern country when he was guarding the border, and his fighting power was not as strong as before.

The only way to protect my second brother now is to keep him away from them just like Su Fu.

Su Chi said, "Let him investigate. I don't want to get involved in the affairs of the mansion. Father is still in Jingzhou City. We can just send them over there when the time comes."

Su Rou said, "Aren't you going to tell my second brother anything? How can he be so obedient?"

Su Chi said, "He has to listen even if he doesn't want to."

If it were the third brother, he would really have a way to make the second brother obey him by using his fists.

Su Rou smiled.

"Third brother! I know you are at the Gong family! Come out and see me!"

The voice of her second brother Su Feng came from outside the yard, and Su Rou was so scared that she fell directly from the eaves.

It doesn’t matter whether the third brother can see her or not, but she definitely can’t see her. The general’s mansion is so big, how did the second brother get here!

Su Rou ignored the pain in her body and went into the house and closed the door.

The voice of my second brother Su Feng was very close, and he must have come in from outside the yard.

Su Feng pointed at Su Chi on the eaves and cursed, "Good boy, you're still here, and their people still say they don't know where you are. Come down! Come back with me, my little sister needs you right now, and you haven't been seen for three days!"

Su Chi said, "No, she doesn't need me."

Su Feng said, "My younger sister is planning to support Shen Yao's promotion. Your position in the court is quite influential. Come back with me and we can discuss this as a family."
