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

Late at night, the emperor was standing in front of the window of his bedroom when a noble woman in gorgeous clothes came up to him.

"Your Majesty, why didn't you just capture Su Rou today? Even if Su Wan was here, how would the General's Mansion handle Su Rou's horrific misfortune?"

The emperor glanced at the noble woman and said, "That wasn't Su Rou's doing. Even if I want to take action against the General's Mansion, I have to produce evidence. The Jiang family took the initiative to provoke us first, so they are not in the right."

The noble woman said, "But now, with the Su family's influence in the court, isn't the emperor worried?"

How could the emperor not know what the queen was thinking?

However, the Su family's influence in the court is growing. Doesn't the Jiang family also contribute to it?

His eyes grew colder as he looked at the queen.

"Queen, please stay in your proper place. I will make the final decision. If you cross the line and interfere in the affairs of the court, I will reconsider whether your position as Queen is more suitable for someone else."

……

Su Rou yawned in the woods. The silver she had on her was enough for an ordinary family to live for two years.

She rode her horse all the way south, and when she was hungry she would eat some dry food with minced meat.

She had actually had this idea a long time ago, but now she had to take action in advance because of the emperor's words.

Even if she had not been engaged to Xie Yuan, the General's Mansion would have been caught in a dilemma again because of the emperor's suspicion.

It took Su Rou seven full days to reach the Southern Kingdom.

She looked at the magnificent scenery and felt relaxed and happy. She had never been to this place in her previous life, and it was indeed beautiful.

She hoped that the general's mansion could also settle in such a beautiful place in the future.

Su Rou wants to buy a house on the outskirts of the city.

The person who brought her here said, "Girl, this place is very quiet, and the location is not too remote. Someone as beautiful as you should be very good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting. This place is the most suitable place to cultivate your sentiments."

Su Rou looked around. There was a wisteria tree in the middle of the yard. Its petals were floating on the floor of the corridor with the wind. It looked like no one had cleaned this place for a long time.

Su Rou said, "It's okay, but it's too small. I want this one. Do you have a bigger house?"

Apart from her father and mother, there were so many servants in the general's mansion, and she wanted to take them all away.

This place is fine for her and a few servants to live in, but it would be too crowded if it accommodated the entire general's mansion.

The man who brought her here said embarrassedly, "Miss, a bigger set requires more money, and you have this..."

The man looked Su Rou up and down.

In order not to attract attention, she wore simple clothes and did not look like a rich person.

Su Rou said, "I have money. If you can satisfy me, I can give you another small yellow croaker."

"I was saying that you don't look like a lady from an ordinary family. I'll take you there right now. That house is in the city and it's much noisier than here. Do you think it's okay?"

Su Rou nodded, "Let me see if it's big first."

This person is okay, he has good intentions, he's just a lackey. If he can help her buy a satisfactory house, she can indeed give him more money.

These people are just trying to make a living.

When she arrived in the South, she was moved by the simple and honest appearance of the people she met along the way.

When two countries go to war, the people suffer. Even if my father doesn't make things difficult for the people when he leads the army, it is inevitable that they will be affected.

Entering the city center, the South Street is bustling with activity, and the cries of hawkers are deafening.

When she got outside the house, Su Rou heard the seller exclaim, "Why is the door open?"

Su Rou jumped off the horse and looked up at the gate. This house was similar to the original general's mansion, except that the gate was not as grand as the general's mansion.

"Selling oranges!"

It's too noisy around here...

Su Rou stepped onto the stairs and found that there was already another group of people in the yard.

"I'll give you two more gold bars. Get that guy out of here! Who's so bold as to steal the house I've set my eyes on?"

The person who spoke was a woman with bared teeth, who looked older than her.

The woman also noticed her and raised her eyebrows, "Where are your elders? Why are you the only one here, a little girl?"

Su Rou had a blank expression on her face. "You're not much older than me. I'm the one who wants to buy the house."

The woman was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Rou's face. "I know all the noble ladies in the capital. Whose daughter are you? How come I don't know you?"

Su Rou said, "I'm just a weak woman who bought a house. It's normal that you don't know me."

The woman stopped looking at her and said, "This house has my eye on you. Go look somewhere else."

Su Rou nodded obediently, "Okay."

She turned around and was about to leave, which confused the woman and everyone else.

The woman called out to Su Rou, "Wait, why aren't you playing by the rules? Shouldn't you be competing with me for a higher price? Even though the clothes you're wearing aren't very plain, the material is top-notch. You must have a very good family background."

Su Rou stood at the bottom of the stairs. She turned her head and glanced at him. "You came here first, and I came later. It's not right for me to compete with you."

"I like your personality! I'll give you this house!"

The old man standing next to the woman finally spoke up, "Miss! No! You don't even know who the other person is, and you're giving away a house for nothing!"

The woman asked Su Rou, "My name is Yuan Wen, what's your name?"

Su Rou said, "Bad Rou."

"Dai Rou? What a strange name, but you and the daughter of General Su of the Northern Kingdom actually have the same name."

Su Rou's body stiffened. It was normal for her father's name to be famous throughout the world, but why was her name now also known in the North?

However, this woman's surname was Yuan. She remembered that the owner of the largest caravan traveling between countries and with widespread influence was surnamed Yuan.

This woman is also very generous, it can't be such a coincidence...

The old man beside Yuan Wen said, "Miss, don't tell others your name. If it's a bad guy, you will be in danger again."

Yuan Wen waved his hand. "Look, she didn't react at all when she heard my name. She definitely doesn't know me. She's just a little girl. How could she hurt me?"

Su Rou found it funny. It seemed that Yuan Wen was often targeted by bad guys because of his status.

Su Rou said, "You just said you would give it to me, you can't go back on your word."

Yuan Wen patted her chest and said, "I never regret anything! I'll just treat it as making friends with you. Come on! Pay her the money and give her both the land deed and the house deed."

The old man beside Yuan Wen looked at Su Rou and said, "You are still young and don't look like someone without a place to stay. How can you be so shameless!"
