AWB Chapter 36 I Will Protect You
Chapter 36 I Will Protect You
"Watch your mouth!" Jiang gritted her teeth, looking as if she was ready to slam the table at any time.
Fortunately, Jiang was still aware that they were now in the palace.
Jiang was afraid that being too ostentatious would attract other people's attention, so she was not afraid that someone would say something openly insulting to her here, which would give others a bad impression of her and have a negative impact on her.
Does Jiang have the ability to give birth to a daughter?
No.
So it was easier for Su Rou to mock.
Su Wan coughed muffledly, "Arou, you're still outside. Don't be so disrespectful to your aunt. And you, today is Arou's day to be happy. Why are you saying this?!"
Jiang grabbed Su Wan's sleeve and angrily said, "General! Look at her! She said I couldn't give birth to a daughter for you!"
How could Su Rou not know what Jiang was thinking? But Jiang was not smart and actually regarded her as the object of favor in the general's backyard.
Su Wan pulled his arm out of Jiang's arms and said, "If you continue to make trouble, I will send someone to take you back now!"
Father only treats her as a child. Isn't Jiang asking for trouble?
Su Wan's roar attracted the attention of some civil officials.
Su Rou calmly supported her head on the table.
Jiang lowered her head, lowered her voice, and dared not continue to make trouble.
"General...don't chase me away."
"What are you arguing about? Is this all the General's wife can do?"
Su Rou looked over in the direction of the voice and saw Xie Yuan appear behind them in a wheelchair. It was undeniable that he said something that no one dared to say out loud.
Su Rou said, "She has never been out in the world with my father. She has disturbed the Crown Prince's pleasure. She is truly unworthy of her position as the General's Wife."
She glanced at Xie Yuan.
Xie Yuan's face was gloomy. "What do you mean by this? Are you mocking this prince?"
She didn't mean that. That was what Xie Yuan said himself.
Su Rou lowered her eyes, but a smile hung in the corners of her eyes, "I dare not. Didn't this Madam disturb His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... I just want to give His Royal Highness an explanation."
Xie Yuan was very jealous. She passed the military examination today and did not fulfill Xie Yuan's wish, which made him jealous.
If you have the guts, don't lose your temper with her. Go ask your father to divorce Jiang.
Xie Yuan was about to speak when he was interrupted by the emperor's voice, "Yuan'er."
Xie Yuan suppressed the sinister look on his face and immediately turned into a docile and well-behaved little rabbit.
"Father."
Su Wan lowered his voice and approached Su Rou, "You shouldn't have said that just now. Even if Arou doesn't like your aunt, she can't say that you are resisting in front of so many people."
Su Rou glanced over and saw Jiang actually lowering her head and crying, "What a disgrace."
She did not answer Su Wan's words, but Su Wan was stunned.
Gong Yu held the wine glass and walked towards Su Rou in full view of everyone.
Su Rou frowned. What did he want to do?
Gong Yu sat down in front of Su Wan, "General Su, I offer you a toast."
Su Wan was very angry at the moment, and his tone was not very good, "I won't drink today."
Gong Yu then handed the wine glass to Jiang, "Madam, could you drink on behalf of General Su?"
Su Rou held Gong Yu's hand that was holding the wine glass and asked him to look at her. "What do you want to do?"
Gong Yu looked at her with a smile in the corner of his eyes, "Then Miss Su, come and drink."
Su Wan snatched his wine glass, raised his neck, and drank it all in one gulp, "I am not so bad as to ask my wife and daughter to block my drinking! After I drink, what else does His Royal Highness Prince Yu want to do?!"
Gong Yu said, "It's just—"
He pinched Su Rou's skinny cheek again and said, "I want to tell you that I won't do anything you don't like."
what?
Su Rou was confused. What on earth did Gong Yu want to do by coming over with a wine glass...
Everyone, including Xie Yuan, noticed that Su Rou had touched Gong Yu's hand just now, and she had taken the initiative to shake it.
And the grip is so natural.
The banquet is over.
"Su Rou, wait a minute, I have something to tell you."
Su Rou was stopped by Xie Yuan.
She stopped to look at Xie Yuan, and the young eunuch pushed Xie Yuan over in a hurry.
The two men stood one taller than the other. "Looking for me? Go ahead."
Xie Yuan said, "Come with me to the lake where we went boating that day, and I will tell you."
Su Rou was stunned. She was still thinking about how to get Xie Yuan to leave the palace so late, but she didn't expect that he would take the initiative to ask her to go to such a deserted place.
Su Rou was about to agree when Su Wan interrupted her.
"Your Highness, Ah Rou is exhausted today. Let's go to the lake another day. Pick a sunny day. You and Ah Rou won't be able to do much at night when it's dark."
This is absolutely true...
Su Rou wondered why Xie Yuan had asked her to go to a place like that? Was he planning to assault her as well?
Just like when the youngest daughter of Xiguanghou Mansion died.
Su Rou stopped Su Wan and said, "Father...it's okay. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to go out for a talk late at night. It must be something important. Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why don't you go first? I'll go back to the mansion to change clothes and then go."
Xie Yuan said, "I'll go back to the General's Mansion with you. Go back and put on some more clothes. My carriage is parked outside."
Tonight, it seemed that Xie Yuan had made up his mind about what to do to her.
but……
Why wasn't Xie Yuan afraid? Wasn't he worried that if he attacked her, the General's Mansion would let him off so easily?
Su Rou hurriedly got off the carriage and walked towards the yard.
There was nothing unusual in the pitch-black courtyard.
Su Rou stood in the yard, staring at the deep and dark door.
"come out."
"Creaky..." The wooden door was opened from the inside, and the old woman's head popped out.
"You actually found out that I'm here. You're amazing, young lady."
Walking out of the darkness, the old woman's wrinkled skin was illuminated by the moonlight, which Su Rou found very creepy.
Su Rou said, "Just talk and turn your face away."
The old woman looked puzzled, but she did as she was told. "Girl, my daughter-in-law is waiting for me. I can leave now."
Su Rou said, "I've changed my mind. You can't do anything tonight."
The old woman froze. "What do you mean? Are you going to go back on your word?"
Su Rou said, "I'm not the one who wants to go back on my word. I've already done what I promised you. But I don't want the prince to die so easily. It would be too easy for him, so I don't want you to do it."
The old woman's face twisted together, and she rushed in front of Su Rou and pressed her face against hers. "Now you suddenly change your mind! I don't care, I must take action tonight!"
The old woman was spitting everywhere, and Su Rou was leaning against her face.
She snapped, "Turn your face away!"
The old woman's aura didn't get stronger at all. After being suppressed by Su Rou, she turned her face away obediently.
"Oh……"
Su Rou said, "It's not that I don't want you to do it, but I can't do it today. Crown Prince Xie Yuan asked me to go to the lake."
The old woman turned her head abruptly. "What?! Girl, listen to my advice. Anyone who invites you to the lake in the middle of the night is either out to rob you or is out to molest you! I'm going with you. I'm here to protect you."
Su Rou knew that the old woman was actually looking for an excuse and an opportunity to kill Xie Yuan.
Su Rou refused, "No, I can go by myself."
