It wasn't that Su Mingyu looked down on her. It was just that Su Yueyue, who usually seemed quite fierce, was actually just a big - shot young lady with a tough exterior but a weak interior.
Not to mention that she would dare to take the risk of being completely stripped of everything to find those outlaws. The fact was that Su Yueyue simply didn't have the ability to find them.
If she couldn't even find the people, how could she possibly bribe them to kill someone?
Su Mingyu lowered her eyes and looked at Gu Ruobai. "Did you catch that person?"
Gu Ruobai shook his head. "I'm sorry. By the time we got there, he was already dead."
He was already dead?
Su Mingyu frowned and pondered. "Either there's a mole among your subordinates, or the other side is just too cunning. Is there such a ruthless character in the capital?"
"My subordinates are absolutely loyal." Gu Ruobai glanced at her furrowed brows. "I will find the mastermind behind this."
Su Mingyu nodded. "I believe in you."
After all, with Gu Ruobai's intelligence network, finding someone shouldn't be too difficult.
Seeing that she trusted him so much, the corners of Gu Ruobai's mouth curled up slightly. "I've given the order about the method you told me to train the soldiers a long time ago. Do you want to go and see the results?"
Almost without thinking, Su Mingyu nodded. "I do."
But as soon as she said it, she frowned.
Gu Ruobai looked at her suspiciously. "What's wrong? Is there something bothering you?"
Su Mingyu touched her nose. "I've got something to do recently, so I'll have to postpone the visit to see the soldier training."
Seeing her so mysterious, Gu Ruobai couldn't help but smile. "Is your business about setting a trap for Su Yueyue?"
Since everything was seen through, Su Mingyu pouted. "Sometimes I even suspect that you know some kind of evil sorcery and can read people's minds."
Gu Ruobai lowered his eyes and smiled softly. "Miss Su, you really overestimate me. It's hard not to be suspicious when you suddenly spend a fortune on sending clothes to the Su Mansion."
Humph, one - sided view!
Su Mingyu suddenly leaned close to Gu Ruobai, lifted his chin with her finger, and looked up at him from below. "Prince Ruixian, are you so idle that you always keep an eye on me?"
Gu Ruobai looked down with a half - smile. "I'm very busy. It's just that Miss Su always gets involved in strange troubles, so I can't help but pay more attention to you."
Su Mingyu pretended to be very grateful and nodded. "Then I really have to thank Prince Ruixian."
"You don't have to." Gu Ruobai narrowed his eyes. "As long as Miss Su doesn't doubt me anymore."
Su Mingyu pursed her lips, withdrew her hand, and looked uninterested. "I wouldn't dare to doubt you. It's getting late, Your Highness. Please go back."
"What... you're kicking me out after using me?" Gu Ruobai looked at her with a smile. "Isn't Miss Su going to tell me what you're up to?"
Su Mingyu grinned at him. "Your Highness is so capable. You can guess by yourself!"
After saying that, she pushed him out of the door and then slammed it shut, leaving Gu Ruobai both amused and exasperated.
He, a noble prince, actually had a day when he was shut out by a little girl?
When Mu Yi came to pick up Gu Ruobai, he happened to see this scene. At first, he thought his master would be angry, but unexpectedly, his master not only wasn't angry but also smiled.
It almost scared him off the roof.
Su Mingyu had a rare good sleep. Early the next morning, she changed her clothes and went to a retreat on the outskirts of the city.
Listening to the gentle tunes, Su Mingyu gradually began to appreciate this slow - paced life.
In the 21st century, she was either training or on missions. She rarely had the time to relax and enjoy life like this.
Just as she was thinking, a petite figure sat down opposite her.
Su Yueyue smiled at her. "Excuse me, are you Miss Sinnan?"
Su Mingyu nodded. "Who are you?"
Su Yueyue gracefully brushed her sleeves. "Who I am is not important. What's important is that I can help you."
Seeing her so confident, Su Mingyu under the bamboo hat curled her lips. "What are you talking about, Miss?"
Seeing that Su Mingyu didn't seem to care about her, Su Yueyue motioned for Xiaocui to take out a piece of clothing she had gotten from Su Mingyu. "Do you recognize this, Miss Sinnan?"
Su Mingyu pretended to be surprised. "How did you get this?"
Seeing her covering her mouth, the confidence in Su Yueyue's eyes grew stronger. "To be honest, I'm actually the second young lady of the Su family. I heard from my elder sister that you want to open a branch but are short of silver, right?"
"Su Yueyue?" Su Mingyu pretended to be angry. "I am short of silver, but I don't want yours. Your mother did such excessive things to me. How dare you come to me?"
Su Mingyu's voice was so loud that many guests looked over curiously.
Under the strange looks, Su Yueyue's face turned a bit ugly. "Miss Sinnan, my mother did act inappropriately back then. But then again, is there any businessman who is truly clean?"
Su Mingyu knew that Su Yueyue was shameless, but she didn't expect her to be this shameless.
If it weren't for the act, Su Mingyu would have almost applauded her.
Deliberately lowering her voice, Su Mingyu said coldly, "You guys have cheated me once. Why should I believe that you won't cheat me a second time?"
After saying that, Su Mingyu turned around and left, leaving only an angry back for Su Yueyue.
Su Yueyue stared coldly at Su Mingyu's back, her face turning gloomy. "Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"
After coming out of the retreat, Su Mingyu turned into an alley. After making sure no one was following her, she climbed over the walls and roofs to Sinnan Pavilion.
After changing her clothes there, Su Mingyu carried a pile of clothes back. This time, there were obviously much fewer than the previous two times.
Su Yueyue was fuming with anger. Seeing so many maids scrambling for the clothes, she got even angrier and immediately stopped them. "You guys really have thick skins."
"Don't you know you're servants of the Su Mansion? How dare you scramble for the clothes?"
Saying that, Su Yueyue gave Xiaocui a look behind her. Xiaocui immediately understood and stepped forward to take away all the clothes.
Seeing those limited - edition clothes being taken away, although the maids were reluctant, they didn't dare to say much.
Su Mingyu looked at Su Yueyue suspiciously and asked with concern, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Saying that, she glanced at the maids who were so scared that they didn't even dare to breathe, and then said softly, "I remember that sister has always been gentle and virtuous... Why are you so harsh today and so angry?"
Reminded by Su Mingyu, Su Yueyue suddenly remembered the false image she usually played.
So she quickly apologized to the maids. "I'm sorry. I really encountered something today. Come to my courtyard to get the clothes later."
Saying that, Su Yueyue curtsied to Su Mingyu. "Elder sister, I'm a bit tired. I'll take my leave first."
