Chapter 190 But I’m Interested in You
Su Rou's body stiffened. She didn't know about other countries, but in the North, men were absolutely not allowed to touch girls' feet casually.
Su Rou gritted her teeth and kicked Gong Yu in the face.
Gong Yu's big hands covered her feet, "You still want to hit me."
Su Rou changed to the other foot, "I'm going to hit you, get out!"
Gong Yu held on tightly and refused to let go. "No."
As soon as Gong Yu finished speaking, he lifted her up and Su Rou felt dizzy.
Gong Yu carried her to the bed and forced her to wear shoes.
Gong Yu then let her go and said, "I'll take you home."
Su Rou said, "No, I'll go back by myself! Do you think my father really doesn't dare to kill you?"
Besides, she hasn't figured out how to explain this to her father yet...
When she left yesterday, she had promised her father that she would be back soon. Now she felt as if she had been slapped in the face...
Su Rou's worries were not groundless. She knew Su Wan best.
Gong Yu said, "I'm sending you off, and I'm just going to tell him about your marriage to Shen Yao."
Gong Yu's tone indicated that she would not be able to refuse.
Su Rou was reluctant.
When they returned to the general's mansion, the atmosphere in the mansion was a bit weird.
Su Rou didn't dare to ask any more questions and sat in the main hall with Gong Yu waiting for Su Wan to come.
Su Wan stepped over the threshold and glanced at Su Rou who was sitting next to him.
"Your Highness Prince Yu."
Su Rou realized that there was something wrong with Su Wan's attitude.
Gong Yu raised his hand and signaled the maid to close the door.
Su Wan sat down in the main seat. "Arou was very lucky to have been taken care of by Your Highness yesterday, but I would like to ask Your Highness something first."
Gong Yu placed his hands on the armrests, tapping his index fingers rhythmically. "She's stupid, and General Su wants to act stupid too?"
Su Rou was confused. "Ah? Who is stupid? Tell me clearly, who is stupid? I always feel like you are secretly scolding me."
Su Wan tried to calm Su Rou down, "Rou, please don't say anything. It's not that Dad is unenlightened...it's just that your marriage to Xiguang Marquis is already known to the whole court, and you're so close to Prince Yu. If anyone sees it, there will definitely be gossip. I must have it all sorted out with His Highness Prince Yu today."
Su Rou said, "If others have something to say, just say it. Why is Dad so nervous?"
Su Wan said, "Arou, you are a woman. Can you make women have high status and allow them to have three husbands and four concubines?"
Su Rou leaned back in the armchair, her attitude indifferent. "If I had the chance, I would definitely do it. So, what do you think is inappropriate, Father? But let me be clear, Shen Yao and I are engaged. I asked the Emperor for this engagement without your knowledge. But just because I am with Prince Yu doesn't mean I have any feelings for him."
Gong Yu said, "But I am interested in you."
Su Rou, “…”
Su Wan "..."
Both father and daughter were speechless.
Why is he so straightforward?
Su Rou said, "Stop talking nonsense! I don't believe it! If you really were interested in me, I would never have broken off my engagement with Shen Yao! The emperor knows about this. Unless the emperor is gone or all the ministers in the court die, our marriage will always be remembered!"
Su Wan remained silent, and even looked a little shocked when he looked at Su Rou.
Su Wan said, "Arou, you can only say this in the palace. Don't go out. If the emperor hears this, he will kill all nine generations of your family."
Su Rou was nonchalant and looked nonchalant. "What I said makes sense, doesn't it?"
Gong Yu asked her, "Do you really like Shen Yao?"
Su Rou nodded solemnly, "Yes, I like it very much."
Her relationship with Gong Yu, just this is enough.
Even if he really said he liked her, what would it matter? Wouldn't they still be unable to be together because of their status?
Su Rou had no intention of getting married from the beginning, so she didn't take her marriage seriously.
It doesn't matter who you marry...
But that person definitely wouldn't be Gong Yu.
Gong Yu stood up and said, "I will send her back to the mansion today and then go back. General Su, take care of yourself."
Su Wan was stunned. After Gong Yu left, he asked Su Rou, "Dad looks so different. Why did this guy tell me to take care of myself?"
Su Rou said, "Father, you are indeed much thinner than before."
At night, the third wife, Ji, came to see her with her maid.
The two of them sat under the pavilion, and on the stone table were various delicious cakes and meals.
Ji poured her a cup of tea. Su Rou could tell what Ji was up to at a glance from his attentive look.
Su Rou said, "You are here to get married."
She pinched a piece of cake and put it in her mouth.
Ji said, "Miss, you are very clever, but I came here mainly to see you."
Su Rou chewed the snack in her mouth and said, "I will talk to my father about this tomorrow. You are the only wife in the mansion now, but I still hope you can not forget your original intention..."
Ji nodded, "Miss, you are right."
Su Rou said speechlessly, "This isn't a lesson, it's a warning."
Ji said, "Miss, can I ask a question?"
Su Rou said, "You tell me, and I'll answer based on my mood."
Ji said, "Why did you send the fourth lady away? It's as if you were afraid that she would continue to stay in the mansion..."
Su Rou said, "Your situation is different from that of Madam Meng and my mother, but the main reason I'm not afraid of you finding out is because my father and the family need a wife to take care of things, and you're the most suitable. And the other reason..."
In fact, it was because Ji was a little greedy, and it was not appropriate for him to stay with A Niang and Meng. It would be better for her to keep him under her nose and watch over him personally.
What kind of big waves can a lady who only wants to be the legal wife stir up?
But if you get into trouble, you will just betray others...
She had been thinking about telling her father about this a few days ago...
But there were a lot of things to do, so I forgot about it.
Su Rou swallowed a piece of cake and said, "There's something I want to trouble you with."
Ji was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Miss, it's okay to speak frankly."
Su Rou said, "It seems that some beasts from other families have sneaked into the mansion these days. Can you help me find them and deal with them? Since you want to be the first wife, you should do something to establish your reputation..."
Her eyes were full of provocation.
Ji nodded, "Miss, what do you need me to do?"
Su Rou glanced at the maid standing at the gate of her yard, then walked up to Ji and whispered to her.
Ji nodded, looking serious, "Okay."
Su Rou said, "Then it's settled. You can leave the cakes here and go."
Ji stood up and had no intention of staying here any longer. He left very cleanly and neatly.
"it is good."
Ji took his men away, and Su Rou sat alone under the pavilion, drank two cups of tea, and cleared all the food on the table.
Her third brother has a good relationship with her, so there should be no problem as long as Ji's wish is fulfilled.
But the problem is the marriage between the General's Mansion and the Xiguang Marquis' Mansion...
Su Rou felt a headache.
Although she and Shen Yao had reached an agreement, they still had to go through the motions.
She guessed that she would have to find an auspicious day with Shen Yao to set the wedding date, and then really get married to make Gong Yu give up.
Su Rou ate and drank her fill, and the next day she got up, had breakfast, and went to see Su Wan.
Su Wan was having dinner in the yard, and Su Rou happened to run into him when she came over.
Su Wan hooked his hand, motioning for her to come over, "Arou, come quickly."
Su Rou came forward happily and sat down opposite Su Wan.
"Dad, let's discuss something."
She got straight to the point, with no intention of beating around the bush.
Su Wan paused with his chopsticks, his expression becoming serious. "You say."
Su Rou said, "It's not appropriate to not have a first wife in the mansion. Why not ask the third wife, Ji, to be the first wife?"
Su Wan groaned, "Did your Third Mother ask you to come here?"
Dad is really good at predicting things.
But Su Rou couldn't tell the truth.
"Yes and no, I just feel that you need someone by your side. It's not appropriate for you, Father, to take the Third Madam and a Little Madam out, right? What's more, the shops and account books in the mansion all need a Madam to manage them."
Su Wan said, "That's true...but doesn't Arou want your mother to be the first wife?"
Su Rou said, "I just hope my mother can live a peaceful and stable life."
Her answer didn't make sense with Su Wan's words, but the meaning was...
Su Rou has expressed what she wanted to express.
