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

Seeing this, Su Chong rushed forward to protect Jiang Shi, "Little sister, what are you doing?!"

When Jiang rushed forward just now, Su Chong did not try to stop her, but now he was questioning her what she was doing.

Jiang rushed towards her with a ferocious look. She was scared. What was wrong with taking out a weapon to protect herself?

No problem at all!

Su Rou said, "Brother, you clearly knew that Jiang Shi had ulterior motives, yet you allowed her to embarrass herself in front of the General's Mansion? Last time, she seemed to have asked you to call me out of the mansion, hoping to take my life, right?"

Su Chong was speechless for a moment.

Su Rou glanced at Jiang, who pretended to fall into Su Chong's arms. "I have a good handle on my hands. At most, I scratched your skin. I don't think you'll even get hurt. Stop pretending. If you keep doing this and come to the General's Mansion in the name of my eldest brother and mother to cause trouble, I might really kill you."

"Also, if you want to drag my eldest brother down with you, go ahead and do it. Let's see whether it's better for him to continue to be a young and promising general in the court, or to wander with you."

After saying these words, Su Rou turned around and went back to the house. She paused and looked back at Su Chong, "Is big brother back?"

Su Chong looked at Jiang hesitantly, "I..."

Su Chong was worried about Jiang, and Su Rou could understand that, but she just wanted Jiang to learn a lesson.

Why is it so difficult.

As if she was some unforgivable sinner.

How simple-minded is she?

Su Rou turned her face away, and when she saw Su Chong's expression, she already knew the answer.

Su Rou said, "Close the door."

At the last moment, Su Chong let go of Jiang and said, "Wait, I'll go back."

Jiang wanted to hold on to Su Chong and try to keep him, but it was too late.

Su Rou saw Su Chong made his choice and nodded with satisfaction.

She said, "Brother, Jiang is such a grown-up, could she really let herself starve to death on the street? Her future is obviously more important than my mother's."

In a sense, the existence of the Jiang family has tarnished the glory of the eldest brother.

Su Chong said, "I don't know, but I want to ask my younger sister, if the Fourth Madam is also driven out of the house in the future, will my younger sister choose her future?"

Su Rou waved her hand, "Brother, why do you think my mother would be the same as Jiang?"

Su Chong fell silent for a moment.

Su Rou returned to the yard. She collapsed on the bed, gasping for breath. She was so tired and her wound was aggravated again, but fortunately there was no bleeding.

Jiang has been staying in the capital and will definitely come to cause trouble for the general's mansion every now and then. Today, she persuaded Su Chong to choose his future, and Jiang will definitely let this be blamed on her.

It would be great if there was a way to allow Jiang to leave the capital while still saving her life.

Su Rou suddenly sat up and said, "Oh, Yuan Wen might have a way."

but……

When she thought about how she suspected Yuan Wen a few days ago, she felt that this matter seemed not easy to entrust.

Su Rou got out of bed and called the maid over, "Go to the storeroom and pick out a few nice gifts and send them to the Yuan family. Just say they're for Yuan Wen."

The maid nodded.

As night fell, Su Rou had eaten her fill and was lying in a rocking chair, rocking leisurely.

The bright moon and starry sky are vast and boundless.

"The flood is happening! Someone come quickly! Get some more basins of water."

A scream broke the quiet night.

Su Rou got down from the rocking chair. Outside the yard, she could see many maids and servants carrying buckets of water rushing to the backyard.

What's going on? It's not that dry now, so how could there be a fire in the mansion?

Su Rou followed them and found that the place where the water leaked was the yard where her father lived.

Her pupils trembled, "Who is the person stationed here at night?!"

This is just like the fire at Yuan's Restaurant, which started for no apparent reason.

It's like someone deliberately destroyed the evidence!

Someone patted Su Rou's shoulder from behind, and she turned her head to look.

"Three..." She didn't finish the rest of her words when she saw Su Chi making a gesture to keep quiet.

Su Rou noticed that on the wall behind Su Chi, there was a head that had not had time to hide.

Su Chi lowered his voice and said, "Father has been transferred to another courtyard, so there's no need to worry. But there are unexpected guests in the mansion tonight, so don't alert them."

Su Rou gritted her teeth. How dare you set a fire and then stay here to watch it spread?!

Su Chi continued, "The fire started in Dad's yard, and the eldest brother is guarding it. Are you okay with your injuries? Find a place to hide when the fight starts."

Su Rou said, "I don't mind. You asked me to go with you."

Su Chi said, "If your wound opens again, I will tell father about your rashness in leaving the restaurant. Wait until father wakes up and see how he scolds you."

Su Rou curled her lips, "I was only doing that to save people. If it weren't for me, you and Dad would still be locked up in that secret room." Su Chi turned around and said, "Be obedient and find a place to hide."

Even though Su Rou was extremely unwilling, she was still threatened by Su Chi's words.

Although her father's scolding was not insulting, it was annoying and she didn't want to listen.

There are so many people in the mansion, it should be no problem for my third brother to bring the soldiers.

Su Rou glanced at the house in front of her which was still burning fiercely, and turned around to go back to the yard.

Most of the people in the mansion were busy putting out the fire, and the gloomy path was quiet and deserted.

Su Rou yawned, went back to stay for a while, and came out again in the second half of the night to see how her father was doing.

"Whoosh——" The sound of the hem of clothes being blown by the north wind came into Su Rou's ears.

She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a masked man jumping down from a tree and attacking her.

Su Rou reacted in time and retreated to keep some distance from him. It seemed that they were the people on the roof just now?

"Who are you? Was it you who caused the fire in the mansion?"

The masked man didn't say anything, but swung the long knife in his hand towards Su Rou.

Su Rou was unable to dodge and a strand of her hair was cut off.

He had murderous intent, and was full of it, and every move he made was aimed at her vital points.

The fire in the General's Mansion wasn't accidental; everyone in the mansion was drawn to the flames. She was the only one left alone now...

A person who is isolated and helpless.

A dagger slipped from Su Rou's sleeve. It seemed that their target was her.

She stared at the masked man in front of her. She wanted to see who this person was!

The moment she collided with the masked man, Su Rou secretly attacked and kicked the masked man in the chest.

The masked men crashed into a tree and two leaves fell above their heads.

Su Rou rushed over quickly and tried to remove the mask from the masked man, but "dang" the masked man blocked her attack in time. The force was so strong that Su Rou's arms became numb.

The masked man did not give her any chance to breathe and attacked her again. Her green dress was stained with blood and the wounds on her body were torn open again.

Su Rou's attack was fierce at the beginning, but gradually fell into a disadvantage...
