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

Su Rou curled her lips, realizing that she had just said it. It turned out that her third brother didn't know about this?

Su Rou said, "I thought Third Brother knew."

Su Chi's eyes deepened slightly, "I don't know. I don't like to inquire about these trivial matters."

Su Rou said, "Then there's no need to know. The matter has been resolved anyway."

Su Chi reached out his hand and gently tapped her forehead. "Why do I feel like you're getting more and more cunning in this little head of yours? Now you even dare to teach me a lesson."

Su Rou doesn't think this is a lesson.

Perhaps if she behaved in front of her father or third brother in any way that was inconsistent with her impression of a child, they would find it strange.

Su Rou said, "Third brother, it's useless for me to stay here, so I should go back first."

Su Chi knew her temper, so he didn't say anything.

"The princes are all here today. I'm afraid I can't take you back. How about I carry you to the carriage and you return to the palace by yourself?"

Su Rou nodded obediently, "Okay."

If she continued to stay here, the emperor would only be more displeased with her.

It would be better to go back first... She is not interested in the struggle between the princes.

It doesn't matter who wins in the end.

Su Rou returned to the general's mansion and before she even got off the carriage, she saw the old man still kneeling at the bottom of the steps.

She crossed her arms, her brow furrowed. "Oh, you're still kneeling? Instead of pretending, why don't you come and beg me? Just watch, when I'm not here, no one in the general's mansion dares to release him."

The old man raised his head and looked at her with a fierce look, "Please, a little kid? Impossible."

Su Rou looked down at him, "If you were so stubborn, you should have gone to the Queen long ago. The Queen hasn't made any move yet, which means she doesn't want to interfere in the matter between you and me."

In essence, the Jiang family was in the wrong, and the old man was a scoundrel. There was nothing she could do, so she just let him kneel like that.

The old man seemed to have been hit by her, and his expression became ferocious. "The Queen is busy with all kinds of affairs every day, managing the harem. How can she have time to care about such things? The Queen is just looking at General Su's face and feels that she can't be so petty with a child like you!"

Su Rou found it funny. What was the point of pretending to be a big shot in front of her at this time?

Su Rou said, "Your words simply mean only one thing: you haven't even seen the Queen."

The old man became emotional, "You...you are talking nonsense!"

The old man pretended to stand up from the ground, but his injuries were already serious, and he had been kneeling for a long time, so he stumbled and fell to the ground again.

Su Rou exclaimed, "Ah hey old man, if you want to die, go back to your Jiang family and die! Don't die at the gate of our general's mansion!"

Su Rou called the soldiers guarding the gate over and carried the old man in.

My father is not here today, and Jiang has been locked up in a small dark room by her, so this old man can only be left to the maid in the mansion for the time being.

Su Rou took people to the backyard.

"Release the eldest lady first. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy."

The soldiers following her all said in unison, "Yes."

The door of the small dark room was opened by the soldiers, and the musty smell inside came to their noses along with the dust in the air.

Su Rou frowned slightly.

On her way here, she thought she would see a mess, but she found that these people were in good spirits.

Su Rou raised her eyebrows. These people looked almost the same as before, except that they had no water to wash.

What are you doing...

Hadn't she ordered them to stop giving them food and drink? She was very dissatisfied with the Jiang family's energetic appearance.

Su Rou turned around and asked the soldier beside her, "Why haven't they starved to death yet?"

The soldiers were speechless for a moment. "My lady...under normal circumstances, without sleep or food, it would take seven days to completely lose your life."

Su Rou suddenly realized.

But that wasn't what she was asking. A normal person starving for a whole day and night would look a little embarrassed, right? These people not only didn't look embarrassed, they even looked like they'd had a full meal!

Su Rou said, "Drag Jiang out of there."

"You...what do you want to do?! I want to see the general! Call the general over!"

Su Rou leaned against the door and said, "Dad doesn't have time to take care of you right now. You'd better come with us obediently, otherwise I might accidentally stab you to death."

There is something strange, definitely something strange, there must be someone helping them secretly.

Given their mental state, seeing her and her men coming to open the door, their first reaction should have been to yell, threaten her, insult her, and tell her to let the people go...

Su Rou said, "The old man in your family fainted while kneeling at the door to save someone. Whoever's old man is from whomever family has him should come and take care of him."

Su Rou ordered someone to throw Jiang directly into the house where the old man was.

Su Rou sat in the yard, legs crossed, looking at the situation in the house.

The maid thoughtfully handed over a plate of sliced watermelon and said, "Miss, it's been much hotter during the day these days. How about putting a piece of ice in the room to cool it down so you can sleep better at night?"

Su Rou said, "No need. My yard is warm in winter and cool in summer. But there are always some bugs when I sleep with the windows open at night. Just put some insect repellent sachets there for me."

"Okay, then, Miss, do you want to send someone in to check on the Madam? There's been no movement for so long, I'm worried..."

Su Rou waved her hand, "She doesn't have the guts. Besides, if she dared to do it, it would save us some trouble."

What the maid meant was that she was worried that Jiang would be forced to join the Liangshan bandits and would have evil intentions, attack the old man, and then frame her.

If Jiang had had the courage to attack the old man, she would be the queen today.

Su Rou said, "Have someone keep a close eye on it, don't let Jiang take the opportunity to escape. If the old man really can't wake up, you have to testify for me that I'm outside the house and didn't go in at all."

After the old man fell into a coma, she kindly called a doctor for him. No matter how you look at it, she was very kind.

Although she didn't have a very good relationship with the old man from the Jiang family, she didn't hate him so much that she wanted him to die.

"I'm not going to die yet! Little kid, come in and let's have a good chat." The old man's sonorous voice came from the room.

Su Rou was startled and quickly stood up. "Old man, you are still alive. It's good to be alive. I thought I had to arrange your funeral."

"Creaky--" The door opened, and what came into view was Jiang supporting the old man coming out of the house.

"Come in, I'll talk to you calmly this time."

Su Rou smiled and said, "No, if you have anything to say, just say it here."

The old man laughed and said, "Why? Are you still afraid that I will cheat you?"

Su Rou narrowed her eyes. "Yes, Jiang is your family after all. You are reluctant to take action, but I am not. What if you fall down next to me after entering the house and team up with Jiang to falsely accuse me of taking action? What should I do?"

The old man suddenly burst into laughter, looking up to the sky. "You are really interesting, girl. My fall has cleared my head. It would be great if your last name was Jiang too."

Su Rou pursed her lips, there was still some watermelon juice on her lips from the watermelon she had just eaten.

"My last name is Su, the Su in Suwan is better."
