Chapter 358 I’ll Give You a Surprise
Yuan Wen said, "No... I was just worried that you would be angry."
In fact, Yuan Wen was worried that Shang Jiu would drive her out like Yuan Wenfu did.
Men's minds are fickle, who knows if he will love you in the next second.
Therefore, Yuan Wen's attitude towards Shang Jiu was mixed with some caution.
If it is said that at the beginning, Yuan Wen did not have such a feeling, but later, she gradually found that it was no longer possible...
She really cares about Shang Jiu's feelings.
Shang Jiu said, "If you're not used to it yet, you have to tell me. I have to be prepared to spend more time with you."
Yuan Wen said, "Don't you think it's a waste of time? I'm really fed up with it..."
Shang Jiu smiled and said, "Why would I waste my time cultivating a relationship with my wife?"
Yuan Wen said, "Speaking of which, where did you catch this rabbit today?"
Shang Jiu said, "One autumn, His Majesty held an autumn hunt. I killed a lot of things, but I only wanted this rabbit. The rest of the things were divided among them."
Yuan Wen lowered his head and looked at the rabbit that Shang Jiu was holding again.
Although it was not very obvious, Yuan Wen could feel that Shang Jiu was trying to win people's hearts and seemed to be preparing to compete with the Gong family for the position of general.
Yuan Wen grabbed Shang Jiu's hand and said, "I don't want you to work too hard. Don't buy people's hearts like this, okay?"
In other words, Yuan Wen wanted to hint to Shang Jiu not to compete with the Gong family.
Shang Jiu is a smart man who can understand the hints.
But he looked as if he didn't understand.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to me. Speaking of which, that Goudan girl next to Gong Yu has returned."
Yuan Wen was stunned. "She's back? Where is she? Has she returned to the Gong family?"
Shang Jiu said, "That should be the case. I didn't expect that after Su Rou and Shen Yao got married, another woman would appear by Gong Yu's side."
Yuan Wen said, "I...I want to go to the general's mansion today."
Shang Jiu said in a somewhat surprised tone, "Weren't you close to Su Rou before? Why are you with another woman now? I've always been by your side, and I didn't miss anything that happened between you and that Goudan girl."
Yuan Wen explained, "That's because the friendship between women is inherently changeable. You might be with her today, but you might be with another woman tomorrow."
Shang Jiu said, "Today is a holiday. Even if you go, you will celebrate with your family."
Yuan Wen asked the maid to bring her clothes. After putting them on, she walked quickly towards the door.
"I'll be back soon. I'll be back tonight to have a reunion dinner with you."
As long as he sees Rourou and comes back on time, Shang Jiu shouldn't be angry.
Su Rou shivered. It was really cold in the South...
There was a fire in the room and a table full of delicious food, but no one dared to pick up their chopsticks.
Gong Yuanzhi looked at Su Rou who was sitting opposite him, and then looked at Su Chi who was sitting next to her.
After a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming back in advance? Why did you climb over the wall to get in?"
Su Rou shrank her neck. "Because although I came back, I came back as Gong Yubu's follower. After we came back, we went to the palace to see the emperor first, right? I wondered what rumors you might have heard, but you stayed in the mansion all day and didn't go anywhere, not paying any attention to what was happening outside."
Gong Yuanzhi picked up a piece of duck meat with chopsticks and put it in Su Rou's bowl, trying to ease the awkwardness in this way. "I was thinking that since Yu'er is back, you will naturally come back too. Let's eat. Today is a holiday, don't say that."
Su Rou put one arm on the table and said, "It's really strange that you didn't even ask where Gong Yu was going."
Gong Yuanzhi looked a little embarrassed, the awkward smile on his face slowly faded, and he put down the chopsticks in his hand.
"Given the Gong family's situation, it's better for you and Yu'er not to come back."
Su Rou, who had been sitting still, picked up her chopsticks and put the duck meat into her mouth. "I came back just in time to deal with something. After I've dealt with this, I shouldn't have to embarrass you anymore."
Gong Yuanzhi said, "Forget it, you two kids can't handle this matter."
Su Rou frowned and looked up at Gong Yuanzhi, "Didn't you receive the letter Gong Yu sent back in advance?"
Gong Yuanzhi said, "I received it, but I didn't have time to read it."
Su Rou: “…”
Gong Yuanzhi is quite generous. Gong Yu is fighting hard alone outside, but he is not worried at all.
Su Rou spit out the bone and said, "That's fine. No need to look at it. Just burn it. I'll give you a surprise later."
Gong Yuanzhi: “?”
Halfway through the meal, a guard came in to report, "Generals, Miss Su and Miss Yuan are here. They are outside the door and want to see the generals."
Gong Yuanzhi said, "Miss Yuan? I'm not familiar with that girl."
Su Rou put down her chopsticks and said, "She came to see me. She was afraid of attracting attention, so she used you as an excuse. Let her come in. Also, deal with the follower behind her."
The guard was stunned for a moment, because Su Rou now seemed a little different from before, as if she had become more...
It's majestic.
"Yes."
Su Rou sat up.
Su Chi said, "Do you want to wear a mask?"
Su Rou said, "Yuan Wen recognized me a long time ago, so there's no need to wear a mask. I need her for the next plan, so I should just face it calmly."
The guard came to the door and Yuan Wen, wearing a fur-collared waistcoat, was standing at the bottom of the steps.
The guard made a gesture of invitation, "Please come in, young lady."
A look of joy appeared on Yuan Wen's face, "Okay!"
She thought Rourou would refuse, but unexpectedly she agreed.
She and Rourou haven't met formally for several years. It seems like it's been too long.
She couldn't remember clearly.
As Yuan Wen and his attendants entered the room, a head popped up behind him.
Shang Jiu looked at Yuan Wen's figure and prepared to climb over the wall to go in.
But just as he was about to come out, he was blocked by six or seven servants.
"My lady has an order. Please go back, Master Shang. When Miss Yuan wants to go back at night, my lady will send someone to send her back."
Shang Jiu followed secretly, but was not discovered by Yuan Wen. Instead, he was discovered by that Goudan girl.
Shang Jiu then remembered the time when he was publicly insulted by Miss Goudan on the training ground.
Shame and anger filled his chest.
Shang Jiu said, "What if I don't go back? Get out of the way. I didn't go in through the main gate to give face to Gong Yuanzhi."
A few soldiers actually wanted to attack him, the commander of the Imperial Guard?!
It would have been fine if he lost to that Goudan girl, but it was impossible for him to be caught by a few soldiers now!
In the blink of an eye, all the soldiers in front of Shang Jiu were knocked to the ground by him.
Everyone was stunned. Did anyone see Shang Jiu’s move just now?
No, wait until they react.
They have already fallen to the ground...
Yuan Wen stood outside the door, staring blankly at Su Rou who was sitting in the house gnawing on a duck leg.
Gong Yuanzhi waved his hand, "Don't stand outside the door, it's cold outside, come in quickly."
Yuan Wen looked at Su Rou, then at Su Chi who was sitting next to her.
"Is it... really Rourou?"
Su Chi silently gave up his seat to Yuan Wen.
Yuan Wen rushed over and held Su Rou in his arms.
Yuan Wen's voice was choked with sobs, and all the words he wanted to say turned into tears and fell down.
"Rourou..."
Su Rou held the duck leg in one hand and picked up Yuan Wen with the other hand and placed him on the stool.
"Don't cry, I'm fine. It's like I'm dead."
Yuan Wen's eyes were filled with tears. His warm, delicate hands caressed Su Rou's cheeks. "Rou Rou, um...what happened to your face? Is this why you've been wearing a mask?"
Su Rou said, "It's okay, I'm used to seeing it. Speaking of which, I have something I'm curious about. How did you recognize me before? When I followed Gong Yu back to the South Country last year, I was clearly wearing a mask... Don't tell me you recognized me because you know my habits too well."
Yuan Wen shook his head, "I knew from the beginning that the one in Su Mansion was fake..."
"Girl, Shang Jiu broke in alone."
Su Rou took a bite of the duck leg without changing her expression. "Third brother, throw that kid out. Don't let Shang Jiu in for tonight's incident."
Su Chi stood up and asked, "Would you like some candied haws?"
Su Rou nodded.
Su Chi had already opened the door and went out. "I'll buy it for you on the way."
Su Rou's eyes moved and looked at Yuan Wen, "Shang Jiu is really obsessed with you."
