Chapter 310 He is just worried about running away
Yuan Wen said, "I don't care about him."
Her tone was affirmative.
"Aunt, what did you want to tell me today?"
Su stopped and asked, "Is Ah Rou... a little strange?"
Yuan Wen asked, "Aunt thinks Rourou is... weird?"
That fake one, could it be that Rourou’s biological mother also noticed something was wrong?
Su said, "A while ago, a deserter came to the Su Mansion and had a secret conversation with Arou in the dark. I happened to see him... Although Arou has a carefree personality, I felt that their conversation was not right and did not feel like that of friends."
As expected, I discovered the clues of that fake Su Rou...
Yuan Wen smiled and showed a kind smile.
"I think you're just overthinking it. Rourou loves making friends, so it's not surprising that she has two people from the desert as friends. The Barbarian King of the Northern Desert was also a friend of Rourou."
Don’t tell Rourou’s biological mother about the fake Su Rou for now.
Now that General Su's life or death is uncertain, the fewer people who know about Su Rou's affair, the better.
This is also to protect them.
Su looked at her and said thoughtfully, "Really..."
Yuan Wen's smile remained unchanged as he nodded, "Yes, we should not worry about Rourou's affairs. But right now, we need to find a way to contact Su Chi."
They have to get Su Wan back first.
There are only two disabled people in the Su family, and there are only three women left, so there is nothing they can do.
Su said, "Arou is also missing. I wanted to borrow some people from you today, but I heard that the Yuan family has a new head..."
Speaking of the Yuan family, Yuan Wen thought of Yuan Wenfu. His face changed and he lowered his head.
Yuan Wenfu would not let the news of her being under house arrest in the Yuan family get out.
This is not good for his reputation as the new head of the family.
"I'm in a difficult situation right now. I'd like to help you, but I can't. The head of the Yuan family is now Yuan Wenfu, my uncle. When you go back, make sure everyone in the Su Mansion is cautious and on guard against him."
Su raised her hand and gently stroked her cheek, "I'm sorry for your hardship."
Such an insignificant consolation made Yuan Wen feel a little distressed.
This heartache is not what she needs, what she wants is recognition.
When she and Su came to the front from the garden, Shang Jiu was still sitting there with his legs crossed.
Shang Jiu took a sip of tea, stared at Su, snorted coldly, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Have you agreed?"
Yuan Wen said, "We've settled the deal, let's send her back."
Shang Jiu hooked his hand, "The carriage is ready outside the door."
Yuan Wen was about to go out with him, but was stopped by Shang Jiu.
Yuan Wen said, "I'll go out and see her off."
Shang Jiu was not very happy, "There are a lot of things to do, I will accompany you and see you off at the door."
Su looked at Shang Jiu, then at Yuan Wen, and said, "If you weren't overly self-deprecating, you wouldn't have to worry about him leaving you."
Shang Jiu was stunned. "What the hell is it to you? Get out of here right now."
Yuan Wen stood between Shang Jiu and Su, "What are you crazy about? Auntie is not wrong. You are just worried that I will run away."
Shang Jiu said, "Yuan Wen, you really don't know what's good for you. I've been so good to you, but you don't like me at all. How could I not worry about you leaving me?!"
Shang Jiu roared almost hysterically, as if Su had come here today specifically to take her away...
Yuan Wen was so frightened by him that his body trembled.
Su, who was about to get on the carriage, had no choice but to turn around and persuade, "Sincerity can move the other person, rather than relying on your own unreasonable possessiveness to deprive the other person of their freedom."
Shang Jiu frowned, the anger on his face not diminishing at all. He took out the long sword he was wearing and pulled it out halfway, "Do you really think I dare not kill you?"
Yuan Wen hugged him and said, "Aunt, go back first. Don't tell him too much. He is a brainless man. He won't listen to anyone except the words of His Majesty the Southern Kingdom."
Su looked at Shang Jiu with worried eyes.
Yuan Wen knew what Su was worried about, "It's okay, he won't hurt me, you can go back first."
Su probably also felt that Shang Jiu would not hurt her, so she turned around and got on the carriage.
Wait until the carriage leaves and completely disappears from their sight.
Yuan Wen finally let him go and said, "I told you, that's Rourou's biological mother. You should show some respect to her."
Shang Jiu sheathed the long sword. "Your father died of natural causes. Your family didn't experience the war between the North and the South a few years ago, so they naturally can't understand the Su family's position in the South."
"They can still brazenly appear on the streets of the Southern Kingdom, walking openly on its soil. Even if Your Majesty has shown them favor, they are the enemies of the entire Southern Kingdom."
Yuan Wen choked. She naturally knew why the southerners hated the Su family.
only……
Such things cannot be entirely blamed on the Su family.
Although she was well aware of all the intelligence before, she did not know whether anyone in the Shang family died in the war.
She knew very little about Shang Jiu's affairs.
Before the last war between the North and the South, Shang Jiu's presence was felt.
Very low.
It was after the war ended and the Southern Kingdom surrendered to the Northern Kingdom that the name of Shang Jiu became known in the streets and alleys.
If a war is to be launched, even if Su Wan is a general, he cannot mobilize troops without the emperor's order.
What's more, she had previously learned about General Su's thoughts.
General Su doesn't want to hurt the people...
Yuan Wen opened his mouth to say something, but Shang Jiu went into the mansion without even looking back.
Shang Jiu stood on the steps, suddenly stopped and turned to look at her, "Come back, I'll ask the maid to help you sleep."
Yuan Wen lifted her skirt and hurried to catch up. "The war between the North and the South cannot be blamed on the Su family."
Shang Jiu said, "Have you not seen the miserable state of the South back then? The people were living in dire straits, a living hell on earth. This is all about the South, which was no match for the North. Have you seen children fighting for food with stray dogs on the street? Have you seen soldiers with their hands and feet cut off, turned into human pigs, crawling on the ground with difficulty?"
Yuan Wen shook his head. "But the Yuan family's intelligence is never wrong. The Southern Kingdom wasn't that tragic back then."
The burning anger in Shang Jiu's body had subsided a lot.
"You're usually accompanied by more than a dozen guards even when you leave the Yuan family's gate. You're protected so well, how could you possibly have seen the true cruelty of the outside world?"
Yuan Wen looked at Shang Jiu's expression and felt that he was not lying.
In war, death is inevitable.
However, General Shang Jiu attributed everything he saw to Su Wan, who led the troops to invade the Southern Kingdom.
Everyone in the Su family hated him to the core.
Yuan Wen lay on the bed, looking at the empty dome, tossing and turning but unable to fall asleep.
She was still thinking about what Shang Jiu had told her today.
She shook her head.
Forget it, I don't want to.
Why should she care about what Shang Jiu said? He must have said that on purpose.
Before dawn, a rustling sound outside woke Yuan Wen from his sleep.
The maid brought hot water for her to wash.
Yuan Wen asked, "What's that noise outside?"
The maid said, "Someone came to the palace early this morning to deliver the imperial edict to you. Your Excellency has been urgently dispatched by His Majesty to inspect Jiangzhou, and he wants to take you with him."
Yuan Wen paused holding the handkerchief and threw it back into the basin. "Take me with you? I won't go. I want to stay here."
Then why did Your Majesty suddenly send Shang Jiu away?
The maid looked embarrassed and said, "Miss Yuan, the master has already given the order. Please don't make things difficult for us."
Yuan Wen shook his head, still refusing.
"Tell Shang Jiu that I'm not going."
If she left, what would happen if something happened to the Su family again?
Then there would be no chance to even send a message to outsiders.
"You have to go even if you don't want to. I will bring a doctor with me to take care of you along the way. If you are worried about Su Fu, I may send someone to keep an eye on him. This way you can finally rest assured, right?" Shang Jiu came in from outside. He was already dressed and seemed to be planning to set off right away.
Yuan Wen asked, "Why are you going to Jiangzhou all of a sudden? What is His Majesty sending you for?"
"Let's go out and have some fun. When we come back, it's time to have the wedding ceremony."
Yuan Wen: "..."
She always felt that there was something fake in Shang Jiu's words.
He was just worried about running away.
"I'm not going. You go by yourself. I'll stay here. I won't run away."
Shang Jiu walked towards her with heavy steps and picked her up horizontally.
"I told you, you have to go even if you don't want to."
