Su Rou asked, "Where did you go just now? Did you stay in the yard the whole time?"

Su Rou actually knew that Gong Yu had no reason to help her.

But she really couldn't think of anyone else helping her. She didn't have a very good reputation in the capital, and given the status of the Su family, she was not an "approachable" person at all.

Gong Yu said, "Didn't you go to see the young lady of the Yuan family? I had no choice but to return to the courtyard."

Su Rou choked, Gong Yu's words were not wrong.

Su Rou said, "...I'm leaving."

Gong Yu watched Su Rou turn and leave, his eyes looking at the crack in the door behind him, "Let's go, come out."

The man in black smiled and opened the door. "Major General, we weren't eavesdropping. We were just too close. We were curious, yes, curious."

Another person said, "But why take the opportunity to help Su Rou?"

Gong Yu said, "Although we didn't succeed last time, we did learn a lesson from it. If we attack on Su's territory, Su Rou will only be rescued safely. We should follow the method His Majesty set at that time."

The Emperor of the Southern Kingdom originally asked him to seduce Su Rou and make her fall in love with him, in order to win over Su Wan and make him submit to the Southern Kingdom.

With Su Wan's protection, the Southern Kingdom will have peace of mind in the future.

Gong Yu couldn't help but clench his fists. Was it because he couldn't give true love to Su Rou? He thought this matter could be easily resolved, but he didn't expect Su Rou to be unmoved by him.

"Young General, speaking of which, it's almost that person's death anniversary, right? When do you plan to resign from the Northern Emperor?"

Gong Yu lowered his eyes. "I mentioned this to the Emperor. With the recent incident at the Yuan Family Restaurant, and the fact that I happened to be there, there's no way the Emperor would let me go back."

"Then why doesn't the young general move Su Rou out? If Su Rou is here, perhaps the Northern Emperor will allow it."

Gong Yu's serious light dimmed. He was threatened by the emperor of the Southern Kingdom and came to the Northern Kingdom to replace the little prince. In the Northern Kingdom, he was controlled by others in every way.

Su Rou, he didn't want to beg.

Su Wan was the murderer of his elder brother, so it is impossible for him to have any true feelings for Su Rou!

"I'll find a way, but if I can't go back, please give my father the things you brought out from the Yuan Family Restaurant last time."

……

Su Rou went back to find Yuan Wen again. She sat next to Yuan Wen and asked, "Have all the wounds on your body been bandaged?"

Yuan Wen nodded, "It's just a little skin breakage, it's nothing serious."

When Yuan Wen bought the house in the South Country, the old man next to him was also there.

Su Rou only heard the other party snort coldly, and then sneered at her and said, "My young lady is so precious, and she came to the general's mansion and got hurt! Doesn't Miss Su have to give us an explanation?"

Yuan Wen scolded, "Uncle Jiang, don't be rude to Rourou! Besides, it's not her fault. It was my own fault that I wasn't paying attention, and Yuan Yao was taken hostage."

Jiang Bo snorted coldly, "But Miss, the wound on your neck will take countless precious materials to heal."

Su Rou stared at Jiang Bo. It turned out to be Jiang Bo. When she met Yuan Wen in the South Country before, she felt that this old man was a bit arrogant and domineering.

Even though the way he addressed her became a little more respectful, there was still a hint of disgust in his tone.

What to do?

Did she have a feud with this old man before?

Su Rou said, "Since you blame me, why didn't you say that the person who hurt Yuan Wen was her uncle? Even if you are avoiding the important issues, you should have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. You are so old and so aggressive. Be careful that Yuan Wen won't even see you off when you die."

Uncle Jiang is indeed old, and he embodies the essence of a businessman to the fullest.

What Jiang Bo said was nothing more than his attempt to maximize Youyi Yuanwen's interests.

Jiang Bo didn't expect Su Rou to fight back, and his face flushed. "I'm the manager of the Yufang Caravan! I've looked after at least five successive heads of the family! Miss Su is so dissatisfied with me, which shows that the noble lady raised in the general's mansion is nothing but an uneducated person! Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if this gets out?"

Wow, is there anything worth bragging about having taken care of five heads of the family?

Su Rou's eyes were sinister. She stood up and said, "I dared to fight those old men from the Jiang family who had the Queen as their backer, let alone you! Besides, the person who hurt Yuan Wen is also from your Yuan family. Why are you blaming me?!"

Yuan Wen quickly grabbed Su Rou's clothes and said, "Uncle Jiang is outspoken. He has always lived a law-abiding life. If he said something wrong, please don't argue with him. I will apologize to you on his behalf."

Su Rou broke free from Kai Yuanwen's hand and grabbed Jiang Bo's beard, "Then I'll add something different to his conventional life."

Jiang Bo's beard was pulled by her and it hurt, and he looked funny and amusing.

Su Rou would never kill an old man. Uncle Jiang is different from those old men in the Jiang family. Those old men are courting death, but Uncle Jiang is just a bad mouth.

Yuan Wen smiled and stood by, watching Su Rou beat up Jiang Bo.

Su Rou looked at Jiang Bo who was lying on the ground. "You have taken care of five heads of the family. Have you ever thought about why? You didn't take good care of them and they all died early. You said I was an uneducated person, and you are right. Naturally, I don't have to show you any mercy."

Jiang Bo touched his beard and cried out in pain.

Yuan Wen said, "Uncle Jiang, please learn a lesson. Rourou didn't kill you just now. If she had, she would have killed you in front of me, and I wouldn't have been able to protect you. I know, Uncle Jiang, you just wanted to highlight my nobility, but if it wasn't in front of Rourou, I wouldn't have needed to do that."

Su Rou paused and looked at Yuan Wen.

Yuan Wen is sincere to her.

Su Rou said, "I have something I want to ask you. Will you come with me to my yard?"

Yuan Wen nodded and asked his followers to take Jiang Bo back first.

Su Rou asked the maid to come and make tea, and watched as the jade-like teacup was filled with emerald green tea.

Su Rou said, "Wasn't there a glowing object under your restaurant earlier? What was it? It didn't look like a night-shining pearl, and it felt a bit rough."

Yuan Wen held the teacup, his face innocent. "The area below the restaurant was abandoned a few years ago and became an abandoned warehouse. Many of the things in the Jade Shop were filled there. There are also night pearls and other luminous things..."

Su Rou: “…”

It was unnecessary for her to ask this question.

Yuan Wen asked again, "Is it a round thing? Have you seen it? Approximately how big is it?"

Su Rou nodded and stretched out her hand to gesture in front of Yuan Wen.

"About this big."

Yuan Wen said, "I remember there's something you're talking about. It was a pill I took a picture of at the Chamber of Commerce in the Great Desert City. They said it was a pill made by an alchemist who worked for an emperor tens of thousands of years ago. It was said to cure all diseases. Because it's made of pills, the surface feels a bit rough."

Su Rou frowned. At that time, the men in black were using a huge box to carry it. She thought it was very big, but it turned out to be only the size of her fist.

Su Rou said, "Does the pill really have such an effect?"

Yuan Wen shook his head. "It's just a gimmick. I thought it looked nice, so I bought it for fun. But it glows, which means it's poisonous. It might not only fail to cure the disease, but also cost you your life."

Su Rou's breath hitched. Could it be that Gong Yu wanted this thing just to save someone? But it didn't have any magical effects. If the person he wanted to save ate it...

A voice interrupted Su Rou's thoughts.

"Miss, it's bad! The master was bitten by a wolf."
