Su Rou thought that the old man was trying to save face.

He reached a consensus with Su Rou that the old man would collect the money and return it to her after he returned.

But he seemed to be asking for more, and wanted Su Rou to release the person first.

Su Rou said, "If you go back and gather the money, I'll give you some leniency. You can't ask me to release the person first. What if I release him and you don't acknowledge my responsibility?"

The old man originally wanted to persist a little longer, but when he saw Su Rou's determination, he gave up.

"Well, we're not in the right in this matter, and we can't ask a kid like you to be humble."

Su Rou smiled and said, "Since we agreed to raise money, you can go back now."

Jiang supported the old man and tried to lower her presence as much as possible, and followed him out while Su Rou was not paying attention.

The soldier held the long sword in front of Jiang and said, "The eldest lady has instructed that Madam cannot leave for the time being. Please go back."

Su Rou saw Jiang looking at her with tears in her eyes, with unspeakable grievance and unwillingness in her eyes.

Su Rou said, "Go back obediently, I can still spare your life."

Jiang gnashed her teeth as she looked at her, wishing she could rush over and tear her into pieces. "Su Rou, you will not die a good death. You will get your retribution sooner or later!"

If there really is retribution, Su Rou feels that she should be the one to suffer the Jiang family's retribution.

A hint of cruelty flashed in Su Rou's eyes. She turned the dagger in her sleeve and stabbed directly at Jiang.

The soldiers shouted, "No! Miss!"

"dang" Su Rou's dagger rubbed against the sword in the soldier's hand.

A strand of Jiang's hair was hooked off by the dagger in her hand. Jiang collapsed on the ground, frightened silly.

Su Rou sighed deeply, "What can't I do? She said I would get my comeuppance, so I should satisfy her!"

"If the master knew that you attacked the eldest lady, he would definitely be unhappy."

Su Rou's expression was gloomy. "Send a letter home to the border, asking big brother to come back as soon as possible."

After all, if she wants to deal with Jiang, she has to have her eldest brother present.

Su Rou snorted coldly, turned around and went back to the yard.

Later, when Su Wan came back, he learned about what happened today from the soldiers in the mansion, and came to ask her if she was hurt.

It's quiet at night.

There was no light at all in the deep and dark general's mansion. Occasionally, a few fireflies flew out from the bushes, making the surrounding environment look not too gloomy.

A figure sneaked out of a room with a food box in his hand. "Creaky" the old wooden door made an abrupt sound when it closed.

He sneaked all the way to the small dark room where the Jiang family members were imprisoned.

He put the food box on the ground, took out two buns from it and stuffed them into the gap in the dilapidated window.

They seemed to be worried about being seen, so they spoke in low voices, "Eat quickly, everyone in the mansion is asleep now. I stole today's meal from Su Rou's breakfast. Where's A Yun? Here, this is a chicken leg for you, don't let yourself down."

Jiang's voice came from inside, "Why don't you help us unlock this door? I'll go with you! Leave this damn place! I never want to come back. From now on, we can just live an ordinary life as husband and wife."

Then another voice came from the house.

"You are so selfish! You actually want to abandon us! If you leave, Su Rou won't be able to find you and will just go to the Jiang family to ask for you! The one who will suffer is the head of the family."

In the darkness, a pair of bright eyes opened and she looked towards the small dark room.

She couldn't help but sneer. That was true. If she couldn't find Jiang, the others in the Jiang family would be the ones to get beaten.

But listening to Jiang's voice, it seemed that she had been wronged. Indeed, it was because of her that the Jiang family was imprisoned here as prisoners.

Maybe they had taught Jiang a lesson together in there.

Su Rou had a playful look on her face, she found it quite interesting, but it seemed impossible for her to just leave now.

She set her eyes on the man who was secretly bringing them food outside the door. This man was definitely the groom who had an affair with Jiang in her previous life.

How about waiting? Have the groom steal the key and actually release them all first.

only……

Su Rou glanced at the deep darkness behind her.

In the darkness, Su Rou could faintly hear Su Wan's breathing.

Jiang's fair arm stretched out from the window of the small dark room and pointed at the key hanging on the wall. "Help me open the door, and I'll go out and hug you for a while. I really miss you so much. I haven't been affectionate with you for a long time. Don't you miss me?"

Su Rou had hung it there for convenience. After all, everyone in the General's Mansion had seen her methods. Who dared to open this door without permission? It would be tantamount to seeking death.

Jiang didn't do much work on weekdays, and now there were several shocking scratches on her fair and tender arms.

Su Rou's impatience to get Jiang off the horse calmed down, and sure enough, Jiang was beaten inside.

Since someone has taken action on her behalf, there is no need to rush.

The groom hesitated for a moment, "But if Su Rou finds out that the door has been opened, she will definitely blame me."

It was unclear whether Jiang was desperate to trick the coachman into opening the door and letting her out, or whether she really wanted to be intimate with him, she even said such outrageous nonsense as "they wouldn't run away".

"Please let me out. Look at my hands. Can you blow on them for me?"

Su Rou frowned. Jiang was old, and besides, she was the eldest lady in the mansion. She had never acted like a spoiled child in front of her father.

Su Rou herself couldn't stand it, but she didn't know if her father had ever seen Jiang like this.

The groom still had some sense in him. After weighing the pros and cons, he hesitated.

"No, no, it's not that I don't trust you, but if you all run away, what will I say to Su Rou?"

Su Rou sneered coldly. Jiang Shi was not a person who cared much about feelings. If he really opened the door, the first person Jiang Shi would stab when she came out would be him.

Jiang said pitifully, "Then open the door a little and let me out."

Su Rou also didn't know what her good brother would think if he saw Jiang looking angry like this.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll let you out by yourself."

The groom reached out for the key hanging on the wall, unlocked the door, and comforted Jiang.

"You've been through a lot lately. It must be boring staying in there all the time."

"Creaky!" The lock on the small dark room was completely opened, and the wooden door opened a crack.

The pitch-black inside was revealed, and Jiang rushed out and hugged the coachman, or to be more precise, restricted the coachman's movements.

Jiang yelled, "Go!"

Figures emerged from the small dark room one after another...
