Chapter 266 The Su Rou in front of him is really not his heartless little sister
Su Chi didn't say anything. He looked towards Su Rou's room.
"I just vaguely feel that she seems a little different from before."
Su Feng said, "After going through so much, my little sister should have grown up. It's normal for her personality to change a little."
Did Su Feng also notice something?
When Yuan Wen came, Su Rou was basking in the sun in the yard.
Su Wan was called by Yuan Wen to sit in the main hall together.
"It wasn't that I intentionally hid it from you a few days ago, but now there's another person in the Yuan family who holds the majority of power. He's my uncle, Yuan Wenfu, and Zui Xiang Lou should also be under his jurisdiction."
Su Wan said, "Where is he now?"
"I came here today because of this matter... I have ordered him to come see me, but my uncle hasn't shown up yet. Maybe... maybe someone in the South Country leaked the news to him and ran away."
Su Wan's face darkened. "I am now just an ordinary man who adapts to local customs. Their attitude was evident the last time Arou entered Zui Xiang Lou. They still think Arou is a threat to me. I hope Miss Yuan will keep an eye on Arou during this period."
Yuan Wen turned his head to look outside the door, and only spoke after confirming that Su Rou was not there.
Yuan Wen lowered his voice, his face serious, "General Su, I think the fact that Arou was brought back is a bit too much..."
"Miss, Mr. Su San has gone to the palace to meet His Majesty." A voice from outside the door interrupted what Yuan Wen was about to say.
Su Wan stood up in a flash, "That little bastard ran away when I wasn't paying attention."
Yuan Wen lowered his eyes and said, "General Su, please sit down first. I can explain to you about the matter of Master Su San."
Su Wan's face was sullen. He had a son who defected to the enemy country. What else was there to explain to him?!
It's a done deal, even if he has some unspeakable difficulties, that won't work!
Su Wan waved his hands, "Don't explain anything to me. I think I taught all three children well. If the third child was with Arou, it would be fine, but looking at the third child's appearance, it is obvious that he has been colluding with the Southern Kingdom a few years ago. In fact, when I led the army to attack the Southern Kingdom, he already had some connection with the Southern Kingdom!"
"Everything Third Master Su did was for the same purpose as Rourou's. It was to protect you. Otherwise, why would he say nothing? He also sent you to the Southern Kingdom according to Rourou's wishes."
In fact, Yuan Wen was not sure whether Su Chi really thought so.
Anyway, the most important thing right now is to stabilize Su Wan.
Su Wan snorted coldly, "I'm not angry with you. This rebellious son is really infuriating."
"Dad." Su Rou stepped over the threshold and came in from outside.
Seeing this, Yuan Wen also stood up and said, "Rou Rou, you've come just in time to persuade General Su. I'll go with you into the palace to check on Third Master Su's condition."
Su Rou nodded.
Yuan Wen passed by her. There was nothing wrong with Rourou's face, and it was impossible for someone to impersonate Rourou.
How is this going……
Am I thinking too much...
The court was filled with dead air, with only Su Chi standing in the center of the hall looking majestic and domineering.
"Young Master Su...Su..." His Majesty the Southern Kingdom tried to call Su Chi, but he couldn't bring himself to call him Young General Su.
I always feel like something is weird...
Su Chi said, "Your Majesty, I have made great contributions in this attack on the Northern Kingdom. Please reward me."
Some people became unhappy when they heard what he said.
"Your Majesty, who would be so shameless as to ask for a reward?! What's more, when General Gong led his troops to the border crossing he was guarding, he didn't let General Gong in directly. He beat General Gong before letting him pass! Isn't he just trampling on your face, Your Majesty!"
"That's right! If we talk about the credit, it's not his turn to make a big contribution! How shameless! He's just like Su Wan!"
Su Chi glanced sideways and said, "If I don't let you go, you won't even be able to enter the border of the Northern Kingdom."
Everyone was stunned.
"Who knows? So what if he's Su Wan's son? Our General Gong is no bad guy! This time, Junior General Gong is the commander-in-chief! Even without Junior General Gong, we can still break into the capital of the Northern Kingdom and take the head of the old Northern Kingdom emperor!"
Su Chi remained calm, but the King of the Southern Kingdom became flustered.
"Su... Young General Su has made great contributions this time. In order not to alert the enemy, it is understandable that he attacked General Gong. What do you want?"
The people in the court were surprised by His Majesty's words, but no one dared to say anything, and so they fell silent.
Su Chi said, "I will be promoted to a higher position and given a hundred acres of good farmland."
His Majesty the Southern Kingdom choked, probably because he didn't expect that he would be so shameless to ask for so many things.
"As for promotion...what position do you want?" His Majesty asked cautiously, leaving everyone else dumbfounded.
Why does Your Majesty give Su Chi such a big favor?
Su Chi said, "Gong Yuanzhi is old, just give his position to me."
His Majesty choked again.
"The candidate for the position of Grand General is still under consideration. I need to think about it for a while. I can agree to a hundred acres of fertile land. As for promotion, how about appointing Huaihua as the Grand General?"
This position is much higher than the one Su Chi had in the North Country.
Discussions arose.
"Luckily Gong Yuanzhi isn't here today, otherwise I'd have given this brat a couple of punches. He was very discerning to join our Southern Kingdom, but why is he still taking advantage of us?"
"But... although Your Majesty is very happy that Gong Yu led the troops to victory, he had already thought about replacing Gong Yuanzhi a few years ago! It's just that there has been no suitable candidate until now."
"Even if there's no suitable candidate, it wouldn't be the Su family's turn to sit in that position. It seems the Su family is just that stupid. They didn't even think about this before asking for it. Ha! How ridiculous!"
Su Chi said, "Then please consider carefully whether or not to let me take the position of Grand General."
When Yuan Wen, who had been guarding outside, saw him coming out of the hall, he immediately came forward to meet him.
"What are you doing here?"
Yuan Wen said, "General Su was worried about you, so he asked me to come and check on you."
Su Chi said, "I'm fine, go back."
"Su Chi actually recognized the head of the Yuan family?"
"It's because Su Chi's younger sister has a good relationship with the head of the Yuan family, so the head of the Yuan family has had some interactions with the Su family."
"It's really hateful! What about Su Wan's three sons? If the head of the Yuan family marries into their family, then the Su family will be even more powerful."
Yuan Wen also felt embarrassed listening to their gossip.
How come this matter has to do with her life?
Su Chi looked over and said to Yuan Wen, "Yuan Wen, do you feel that Su Rou is a little strange?"
Yuan Wen was stunned. Could it be that Su Chi also noticed that something was wrong with Rourou?
She nodded. "I feel like Rourou has become a little strange. The person in front of me is clearly Rourou, but something feels wrong. I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong."
Su Chi sent Yuan Wen back, and then returned to the Su Mansion.
In the afternoon, His Majesty sent someone to deliver the land deed.
Su Wan was not in a good mood, but he knew that Su Chi wanted these things for their family.
The third wife, Madam Ji, persuaded Su Wan, "General, this is all for our own good. You should stop putting on such a sour face."
Su Rou took the deed, looked through it, and said, "With these things, we can live a worry-free life in the South."
As soon as these words were spoken, the room instantly became quiet.
Su Chi stared at her intently, unable to conceal the astonishment in his eyes.
Perhaps it was not until this moment that he realized that the Su Rou in front of him was really not his heartless little sister.
Seeing them all looking at her like that, Su Rou asked, "What for?"
Su Wan said, "Arou, have you forgotten that you were more foresighted? Before the war between the two countries, you transferred the money from the General's Mansion to the Su Mansion so that we could live a good life in the South Country in the future."
Su Rou was also stunned, and she lowered her eyes as if to escape.
"The Zui Xiang Lou incident made me feel a little upset, and I forgot about it for a moment."
Su Chi stood up, his expression gloomy. "The land deeds belong to the second brother. If one is missing, we'll hold him accountable."
