Thinking this way, Su Mingyu fell into a drowsy sleep in bed. When she woke up again, it was already broad daylight.
Zhizhu had recovered a great deal after these days of recuperation. So, having nothing to do, she came to wake Su Mingyu up.
As soon as Su Mingyu opened her eyes, she saw Zhizhu's face magnified several times. She almost had a shock and fell off the bed.
"Zhizhu?"
Su Mingyu lowered her eyes. "What's up? Are you already better?"
Zhizhu grinned. "Of course, I can't say I'm fully recovered. It's just that I don't feel pain anymore. So I thought I'd come and wake you up, Miss."
Hearing this, Su Mingyu subconsciously looked at her hand.
"At least the wound isn't bleeding anymore."
Zhizhu nodded. "Miss, why didn't you come to see me last night? I was worried for quite a while."
Su Mingyu reached out and rubbed her head. "I saw you were chatting so happily that I didn't want to disturb you."
Zhizhu let out an "oh". "Then Miss, you'd better get up quickly. It's getting late. If the master doesn't see you in the main hall for breakfast later, he'll scold you again."
"Scold me?" Su Mingyu frowned. "Does Su Zhengyi... often keep an eye on my movements?"
Zhizhu nodded. "Yes. I feel that since you were in jail last time, the master has been much nicer to you."
Su Mingyu sneered silently. It seemed that this Su Zhengyi still didn't trust her completely.
"In that case, I have to work harder to curry favor with my dear father."
Hearing Su Mingyu's sudden enthusiasm, Zhizhu nodded in confusion. "That's good. At least if the master supports you, the mistress and the second miss will be more restrained and won't bully you like that."
What Su Mingyu meant was completely different from what Zhizhu thought, but it didn't stop Su Mingyu from being in a great mood.
She nodded. "Well, I may be late today because I have something to do. You don't have to wait for me."
Zhizhu was quite aware of Su Mingyu's busyness, so she nodded obediently.
When Su Mingyu arrived at the main hall, Su Zhengyi had just arrived. He glanced at Su Mingyu. "I heard that it was the King of Yu who sent you back last night?"
She didn't expect that Su Yueyue would go and tell Su Zhengyi so early in the morning.
Of course, Su Mingyu didn't try to hide anything. She nodded generously. "I just happened to meet him when I came out of the Prince Ruixian's mansion. The King of Yu saw that it was inconvenient for a woman like me to walk alone at night, so he kindly sent me back himself."
"By the way." Su Mingyu seemed to suddenly remember something and glanced at Su Yueyue. "On the way, the King of Yu even asked me to choose a lot of things for Yue'er."
"It seems that the King of Yu really dotes on Yue'er. I think the reason he sent me back was because of Yue'er's sake."
With these words, Su Mingyu effortlessly turned the private meeting between her and the King of Yu last night into a matter of the King of Yu sending her back because of Su Yueyue.
Hearing this, Su Zhengyi's gloomy face instantly brightened up.
"So that's how it is." Su Zhengyi said with a beaming smile as he looked at Su Yueyue. "In that case, since Yue'er has nothing to do today, why not take some gifts and go to thank the King of Yu?"
Su Yueyue naturally understood Su Zhengyi's obvious intention to match her with the King of Yu. Since she also wanted to see the King of Yu anyway, she immediately took the opportunity. "Okay, I know, Father."
Seeing that Su Zhengyi seemed very happy, Su Yueyue glared at Su Mingyu resentfully.
She originally thought that Su Zhengyi would be angry because Su Mingyu had contact with the King of Yu. In the past, Su Zhengyi would definitely punish Su Mingyu to stand or kneel outside.
But unexpectedly, Su Mingyu managed to turn the situation around with just a few words.
Su Yueyue stared deeply at Su Mingyu, her beautiful eyes filled with venom.
After breakfast and seeing Su Yueyue's ugly face, Su Mingyu left the Su Mansion and went to Gu Ruobai's mansion.
What was coming was bound to come. Even if she wanted to avoid it, she couldn't.
Su Mingyu took a deep breath and then walked in through the back door of the Prince Ruixian's mansion.
As soon as she walked into Gu Ruobai's study, Su Mingyu smelled a strong aura of violence.
Just then, Mu Yi walked out. He saw Su Mingyu at a glance, and his face instantly became extremely complicated.
"Miss... Su..."
Su Mingyu swallowed hard, pointed inside, and then asked, "Is he... very angry?"
Mu Yi nodded with difficulty. "To make the master, who never shows his emotions, this angry... Miss Su, you'd better be prepared."
Su Mingyu was already extremely nervous. Now, hearing what he said, her heart sank to the bottom.
"You... guard that courtyard for me later. No one is allowed to enter."
After saying that, Su Mingyu took a deep breath and was about to push open the door of the study bravely.
"Get out!"
A cold and icy voice hit her head-on.
Su Mingyu felt a chill run down her spine. She pursed her lips for a long time before saying, "What's wrong? Why are you so angry?"
Hearing Su Mingyu's voice, Gu Ruobai, who was standing with his back to the door, frowned. "Do you never listen to my warnings?"
She thought he would joke with her for a while, but unexpectedly, he got straight to the point.
Su Mingyu scratched her nose. "It was really an accident. I just happened to meet him by chance."
Gu Ruobai turned around and looked at her. "Didn't you promise me before that you wouldn't have any more contact with him?"
Su Mingyu first closed the door, then paced up to Gu Ruobai and poked his frowning eyebrows with her finger.
"I didn't have any contact with him. He came to me on his own. I couldn't just push him away, could I? That would be too strange. Don't be so angry."
Rarely, Gu Ruobai slapped her hand away and said coldly, "So, it seems that Miss Su is quite interested in the King of Yu?"
Su Mingyu immediately swore, "No! Absolutely not. How could I be interested in him?"
Then, Su Mingyu suddenly moved her head closer to Gu Ruobai's and blinked at him. "But... just how much do you know? You're so angry."
Gu Ruobai turned his face away. "Not much. I just roughly know what Miss Su thinks of me. I'm just a disabled and unpopular prince. I'm probably not good enough for Miss Su."
He even knew about this?
Su Mingyu couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. Gu Ruobai's intelligence network was not just like an informant; it was more like a cheat code!
As if knowing what Su Mingyu was thinking, Gu Ruobai's eyes flashed coldly. His already deep eyes became even darker. "Do I need to investigate? Naturally, there are people who will send the information to me."
