Chapter 181 Female Deserter
Su Rou felt that it was a pity to feed such good meat to animals.
Not everyone in the mansion can eat it.
Just as she was about to leave after giving instructions to the maid, a voice from behind, "Miss Su," called her.
Su Rou turned her head and saw King Li walking towards her with big strides.
Su Rou frowned slightly, "What does your Highness Prince Li mean? Isn't he going to have dinner at our General's Mansion?"
Why did he follow me out? It seems that the second and third brothers didn't pay attention to him, so he took the opportunity to run out and harass me.
King Li said, "Looking at you, you probably haven't had lunch yet. Why are you staying here..."
Su Rou said, "I told you, I'm a little tired and don't want to use it. What's more, you have my second and third brothers accompanying you. Does His Royal Highness Prince Li think there is something wrong with it?"
King Li said somewhat embarrassedly, "I was just concerned about the girl's condition... I don't think there is anything wrong with it."
Previously, Concubine Lian even moved the emperor out in order to allow her to go to the horse farm. This incident has made her feel indifferent to Concubine Lian and Prince Li.
Even if these two people died in their general's mansion, Su Rou felt that she could deal with it without any expression.
Besides, did he really think she knew nothing? Couldn't he see that Prince Li was intentionally trying to get close to him...
Su Rou said, "Your Highness Prince Li should enjoy your meal. I think your Highness Prince Li will like the food in our General's Mansion very much."
She threw down these words and turned away without caring what King Li was going to say next.
Back in the yard, she leaned lazily against the window and looked at the scene in the yard.
The golden sunlight fell in the yard, and now that spring had come, the yard was filled with the colors of spring.
Another year has passed...
When Su Chong came back, he was exhausted.
Su Rou stood on the steps and watched him get off the horse. This trip, which was supposed to take only half a month, actually lasted a full month and a half.
Su Chong said, "Little sister, big brother is useless. He didn't find the second wife. Do you think the second brother will blame me..."
There were bruises under Su Chong's eyes. He must have been looking for the second wife recently and didn't get enough rest.
Su Rou patted Su Chong's back and said, "Second brother said, if you can't find it, don't look for it. It's not a problem."
She soothed her anxious mood.
After entering the mansion, Su Chong went to see Su Wan, and then went back to rest.
Su Chong left, and Su Rou stayed in Su Wan's room.
"Father, my eldest brother has been working hard these past few days. Let's ask him to go back to the yard and have a good rest."
Su Wan leaned against the bed and sighed, "When I married the Second Wife, I didn't want to do it, but I couldn't bear the Emperor's coercion and inducement, so I had no choice but to do it. The First Wife was kicked out because of her own fault. I feel that the person I feel most sorry for is the Second Wife. Your eldest brother is the most sensible and obedient. If it weren't for the First Wife's trouble, our family might have been able to continue to be together."
The integrity of this family is not only maintained by Su Rou. Although Dad doesn't care about anything on weekdays, he always pays attention to every move of the family.
Su Wan sighed again, "Arou, if you get married in the future, the family cannot take concubines. You must be the sole mistress. Although our family may not be considered a famous one, we still have father and your brother who are generals. With our support, even if your in-laws don't want to, they have to agree!"
Su Rou said, "Father, I don't plan to get married."
She suffered at the hands of a man in her previous life, so how could she possibly rely on a man again in this life?
Her family is wealthy and powerful, so even if she doesn't marry her off, it's more than enough to support her.
Su Wan turned his gaze towards her, "Father thought... you liked His Royal Highness Prince Yu."
There was a hint of sarcasm in the tone of this sentence.
Su Rou was stunned, "Why did Dad say that?"
Su Wan said, "Your third brother said that you have been getting close to His Royal Highness Prince Yu recently."
Su Rou was filled with shame and indignation. "Why does Third Brother tell you everything? Prince Yu and I are just good friends, and we discuss things together occasionally."
Su Wan snorted lightly, "Father, why are you so unconvinced? You are from the North, and Prince Yu is from the South. What can you two discuss together? Are you planning to launch a surprise attack on the North?"
Su Rou did have this plan.
Su Rou said, "Father, the Emperor has long lost trust in us in the General's Mansion. If it weren't for the fact that we are still useful, he would have thought of a way to take action against us long ago."
Su Wan said, "With five generals from one family, how could the emperor not be wary... However, the emperor is a good emperor. If he ever feels that we can no longer stay in this position, the worst that can happen is that we hand over our military power and return home."
Su Rou sat on the chair, tilting her head. She suddenly thought of the emperor in her previous life. Her father had thought too simply about the mind of a king...
Su Rou said, "Father, what if the Emperor chooses to sacrifice me and the General's Mansion in order to achieve his goal one day?"
Su Wan was stunned, then frowned, "Why do you say that? Did the emperor bully you?"
Su Rou shook her head, "I just wanted to ask you."
I just want to ask my father what he would choose between his family and the emperor he is loyal to.
Su Wan said, "Arou, you are still young. This is not something you can get involved in."
Su Rou was not surprised by such words.
Su Rou said, "Father, just make your own decision."
The previous incident of him being poisoned must have created a rift between my father and the emperor.
Su Rou walked out of the yard and stretched.
Su Chi suddenly appeared from behind, "Did you just go to see Father?"
Su Rou put down her arms, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Su Chi said, "It's your birthday tomorrow. What do you want? After giving you your birthday gift, I plan to return to the border. The second brother said he wants to go with me, but I don't know what the eldest brother will do yet."
Su Rou looked confused. If her third brother hadn't stood up and reminded her, she would have forgotten about it.
It seems like... she hasn't celebrated her birthday for a long, long time.
Su Rou said, "Anything is fine, but don't give me those treasures this year. I have enough in my room, and they will just be there for me."
Su Chi touched her head and said, "If you don't want a baby, what else do you want? The stars in the sky?"
He frowned, "But what should I do if I don't know how to pick stars..."
There was helplessness and doting in his tone.
Su Rou grabbed his hand that was on her head and said, "Third brother, don't treat me like a child. I'm already an adult."
It's fine if Dad says she's still young, but Third Brother is also like this...
At her age, if she were to be seen outside, she would be considered an old maid who can’t get married!
Su Chi said, "It seems that Dad said something that made you unhappy."
Su Rou looked disappointed. "It's not that I'm unhappy. I feel a little hot today. I'm going out to buy some tofu. Third brother, will you come with me?"
Su Chi said, "Let's go."
The streets were bustling with people coming and going.
As soon as she came out, Su Rou's mood was obviously much better.
Su Chi was holding a bunch of things Su Rou bought. "You didn't even eat a single bite of these. You only like to eat the candied haws."
Su Rou said, "Buy it first, go back and eat it, and ask the eldest and second brothers to come with us."
A clear and pleasant bell sound rang in her ears, and Su Rou's shoulder was hit hard by someone. The candied haws in her hand fell to the ground, and the outer layer of sugar coating fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
"Feel sorry."
The man was about to leave, but Su Rou grabbed his clothes and said, "You broke my candied haws, give me a new one."
The man was dressed in white and wearing a veil, so his real face could not be seen.
"Let go."
Su Rou insisted, "No, compensate me for my candied haws! How could someone as shameless as you be so shameless as to break my candied haws and not even offer to compensate me? Just an apology and you're done with it?"
Su Chi stared at the veiled man and asked, "Are you from the desert?"
As soon as Su Chi said this, the people on the street looked over immediately.
Su Rou said, "Didn't the emperor order the hunting down of all the desert people in the city a while ago? How come this person is still in the capital?"
The man in white got up from the ground and was about to leave, but was grabbed by Su Chi and accidentally pulled off the man's veil.
The long black hair falls down like silk. The skin of the people in the desert is dark, but their facial features are delicate and deep.
Su Rou had met Andre before, so her impression of the desert people was that the men were handsome and the women were beautiful.
However, in today's world, it is difficult for people from the desert to move forward in the north.
How dare this female desert person appear on the street?
The people around shouted, "Go and report to the police!"
