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

Su Rou was not surprised at all that she was eavesdropped. Gong Yu had reminded her before. Although she had known about this matter long before Gong Yu, she did not expect that the other party would be able to reveal his true colors so quickly.

Su Wan saw Su Rou's serious expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Rou withdrew her gaze and shook her head.

While the two were talking, Ji arrived with her maid.

Ji stepped over the threshold and said, "Today is really a good day."

Su Rou looked over and said, "The Emperor granted the marriage today, and the Third Madam seems very happy."

Ji had previously expressed to her the idea of supporting her third brother. Now that the emperor has granted the marriage, Ji would not easily let go of such a good opportunity.

Ji sat down opposite Su Rou and said, "Miss, you invited me here, aren't you trying to persuade me not to let them get married?"

Su Rou curved her eyes and smiled tenderly, "How could it be? Third brother and the third princess are both third children. Isn't this an obvious match? Okay, this marriage must be done."

Ji Shi also said, "But I don't know why the young lady can even interfere in her brother's marriage."

Ji's tone was full of sarcasm, thinking that she shouldn't interfere in Su Chi's marriage.

Su Wan said, "It's not that Arou interfered with the third brother's marriage, but the third brother didn't want to marry the third princess at all. I came to Arou to find a solution because I was at my wit's end."

Ji Shiwen smiled, as if what he said just now was unintentional.

"General, as a mother, I am worried about the third son's marriage. I just asked casually and don't mean to blame the young lady."

Su Rou stared at Ji Shi with her deep eyes. All the women living in the deep-walled courtyards were like this. She had given Ji Shi face before, but later humiliated her in public, making Ji Shi lose face in front of her third brother.

Ji was taking revenge on her.

Su Rou said, "That's right, Father. I've thought it through, so I changed my mind. I think it's better for Third Brother to marry the Third Princess. Even if Third Brother doesn't want to, he has to agree. Look, Third Brother's biological mother has said so."

Ji explained, "I don't mean to force the third brother. This is all for his future."

future?

The third brother did a good job as the Young General Su, and Ji asked him to marry the princess and become the princess's consort. If he was just the Young General Su, it would be fine, but if he became the princess's consort, all the forces in the court would keep a close eye on the third brother, and if he made the slightest mistake, the third brother would be the one to be dragged out and beheaded.

Once you enter the palace, you will find it difficult to leave. Her mother had previously rejected Xie Yuan's proposal to marry her, and now Ji's mind might be completely focused on her status.

Su Rou looked at Su Wan and signaled her father not to tell Ji about their plan.

Su Rou said, "Let's talk business first. I have something else to do today. Third brother is getting married anyway, so why not give him another wife? After the princess marries, she won't be bored when third brother goes to the battlefield, and she'll have someone to keep her company, right?"

Ji frowned, "Marry another wife? Since ancient times, it has never been the practice for a royal consort to marry another wife. Even if the princess is willing, the emperor will feel it is a loss of face."

Su Rou said, "Third brother is so outstanding, how can he just marry a princess? He still has a long way to go in the future, so he must have a few women who can accompany him and help him, right?"

On the surface, she was analyzing the situation for Ji, but in fact, she was just luring Ji into taking the bait.

Ji nodded, but before she could say anything, Su Rou stood up suddenly.

"Then it's settled. I still have to go out for a while. Father, please have a good chat with the Third Madam and prepare for the next things."

Su Rou returned to the yard, only to find that her door had been opened a crack.

She was startled, her heart in her throat.

Someone entered her room.

She walked forward quietly and kicked the door open, hoping to catch the people in the room off guard. However, she didn't expect the room to be so quiet that she didn't even see a single person.

Su Rou looked at the teacup on the table with tea leaves still hanging on it. It wasn't the maid who came in to clean it, but someone who sneaked in.

Su Rou opened the cabinet and took out the box inside.

Su Rou noticed something was wrong again. She put the wooden box on the table, opened it, and found that the ginseng inside was gone.

The corners of Su Rou's mouth twitched twice, and she curled up her mouth arrogantly and smiled ostentatiously.

What a good Gong Yu, if she doesn’t sell it, she will come and steal it.

He even remembered to leave a box for her after stealing something.

Why don't you grab it?!

"Pah!" Su Rou slammed the lid shut. She had originally planned to deliver it to Gong Yu today, but she hadn't expected this bastard to be so quick and efficient!

Su Rou walked out of the general's mansion with the box and told the groom, "Go to Prince Yu's mansion."

Before Su Rou got off the carriage, the guards at the gate of Prince Yu's mansion came forward quickly.

"Miss Su, why are you here? His Royal Highness Prince Yu is feeling unwell today."

Su Rou ignored him. Was she feeling unwell?

Excuse!

He must have been afraid that she would come to collect the debt, so he closed the door and refused to see her.

Su Rou jumped off the carriage and easily flew to the top of the wall of Prince Yu's Mansion.

She had been here before and was familiar with the layout.

Su Rou found Gong Yu in the garden of Prince Yu's Mansion, holding the box. There was a man in black standing next to Gong Yu.

It looks like they should be the group of people who appeared in Yuanjia Restaurant before.

Gong Yu noticed her coming and glanced over.

Su Rou jumped off the eaves, "I just happened to be looking for you."

Gong Yu: “…”

"You left the main gate open and insisted on climbing over the eaves and walls. Have you healed your previous injuries?"

Su Rou smiled brightly, but beneath this brightness lay cruelty.

"I just wanted to give you a surprise. Yesterday you said you wanted to buy my ginseng, but I didn't buy it because I was planning to give it to you from the beginning." Su Rou said as she reached out to touch the lock of the box.

Gong Yu grabbed her hand and said, "...No need to look at it, it's a gift from you, I believe it."

Su Rou said, "I wanted to find an auspicious day to send it to you yesterday, so I didn't give it to you. But why do you look like you're not surprised at all?"

Gong Yu looked strange, "Surprise, thank you."

He wanted to take the box from her hand, but Su Rou still held it tightly.

She definitely couldn't ask Gong Yu to come down from this stage today.

"This box looks pretty good to me. Why don't you take out the ginseng and I'll take the box back."

Gong Yu's abnormal behavior was simply due to his guilty conscience.

If the box were opened, she wouldn't necessarily be the one embarrassed.

She came with a sincere heart to give him ginseng. Gong Yu dared to accept it, but he didn't dare let her find out that the ginseng inside was missing.

She didn't let go, and neither did Gong Yu. He said, "This box is just made of higher-quality wood. If you want it, I have it in my house. I'll have someone take you there."
