Su Mingyu was taken aback by the question. "I was so angry just now that I couldn't think. Now that I think about it, it really wasn't him. And the crucial thing is that those people didn't look like they were trained. Who on earth hired such a bunch of people to teach me a lesson?"
Gu Ruobai also narrowed his eyes. "I guess someone might know about the close relationship between your Sinan Pavilion and Wu Wang before, so they took this opportunity to track you down."
"Never mind." Su Mingyu bit her lower lip. "I just made an appointment with the King of Yu. You watch over me later. I want to know if he's really involved in this and if he really wants Wu Yurou."
"You want to match them up?" Gu Ruobai frowned. "Although Wu Yurou is a bit willful, she's not a bad person. The King of Yu is no good guy."
Hearing Gu Ruobai's words, Su Mingyu's face darkened. "What? Are you feeling sorry for her?"
"Of course not." Gu Ruobai quickly distanced himself. "I just think the King of Yu is a sneaky and treacherous man. Wu Yurou might be used if she falls into his hands."
"I just want to ask." Su Mingyu pouted. "If he's really interested in Wu Yurou, how could I miss such a great opportunity to take revenge on Su Yueyue?"
Hearing Su Mingyu's plan, Gu Ruobai raised an eyebrow. "Okay, go ahead. I'll protect you."
Su Mingyu bowed gratefully. "Then this concubine thanks the prince here."
After saying that, she winked at Gu Ruobai and then turned around and walked out.
When Su Mingyu arrived at the tea garden, the King of Yu was already waiting.
Seeing that the King of Yu didn't look very tense, Su Mingyu asked curiously, "King of Yu, your concubine and child almost got hurt. How can you be so calm?"
The King of Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at Su Mingyu. "Is that what you called me here for?"
Su Mingyu quickly waved her hand. "Of course not just this. I want to know what exactly happened just now?"
Hearing Su Mingyu's question, a flash of disappointment crossed the King of Yu's eyes, but he quickly covered it up. "After you left, Yue'er sat for a while and then said she wanted to take a walk."
"Then she asked Wu Yurou if she wanted to go with her. Wu Yurou agreed. But not long after they walked out, I heard Yue'er's voice. I ran over and saw Yue'er lying on the grass."
"I asked her what happened, but she just kept crying and didn't say a word. She only told you that she accidentally fell while walking with Wu Yurou when you came back."
Su Mingyu sneered disdainfully. "It seems your concubine isn't ready for you to take a main wife yet."
Su Yueyue's clumsy trick showed that she was really desperate.
"The affairs of this king don't need her approval." The King of Yu's tone was as noncommittal as ever.
Su Mingyu thought for a while and then told the King of Yu everything that happened today.
The King of Yu was obviously stunned. "Are you trusting me or interrogating me?"
Su Mingyu pouted. "Both. I want to ask, King of Yu, did you send someone to test me?"
The King of Yu firmly shook his head. "No. I've long known you're Sinan. Why would I do such a redundant thing?"
Seeing him like this, Su Mingyu said without thinking, "Then I believe you."
"You... believe me?" The King of Yu looked down at Su Mingyu's bright eyes, hardly believing his ears.
Su Mingyu nodded. "Since the King of Yu said so, I'll believe you. But there's still one thing I want to ask."
Looking at the sparkle in Su Mingyu's bright eyes, the King of Yu felt as if a warm sun had shone into his heart, warm and gentle. "Go ahead."
Su Mingyu didn't notice his change and just blurted out, "King of Yu, do you really want to marry Princess Wu Yurou as your main wife?"
Stared at so directly by Su Mingyu, the King of Yu's face changed slightly. He tightened his jaw to stop his lips from curving up. "Do you care so much?"
Su Mingyu was about to say she did care, but just as she was about to open her mouth, her calf hurt. She didn't need to guess to know that Gu Ruobai was angry. So she quickly changed her words. "How could I? I'm just curious. If the King of Yu is really interested in Princess Wu Yurou, then our Ruixian Prince's Mansion welcomes you anytime."
As she said that, Su Mingyu touched her nose. "After all, if she can be taken away by the King of Yu, her future will surely be bright."
"Speak plainly." Although the King of Yu couldn't say he knew Su Mingyu very well, he could tell she was being insincere. So he frowned and said coldly, "Tell me, why do you care whether I marry Wu Yurou or not?"
Wasn't this guy always so slippery? Although he was nice to her, he never dared to face her directly.
Why did the King of Yu seem a bit irritable today?
Su Mingyu's calf hurt again. She endured the pain and pursed her lips. "King of Yu, are you sober enough now? Do you know what you're asking?"
Hearing Su Mingyu's clear voice, the King of Yu's pupils suddenly froze and then contracted violently. He raised his hand to cover his face. After a long while, he let out a long sigh. "I was being presumptuous just now. Please don't take offense, Princess."
Seeing that he finally returned to his usual self, Su Mingyu quietly shifted her gaze to where Gu Ruobai was standing. But as soon as she looked over, her calf hurt again.
This time it came so suddenly that Su Mingyu almost lost her balance.
Seeing Su Mingyu suddenly stagger, the King of Yu's eyes darkened. He reached out to support her, but Su Mingyu avoided him very sharply. "What's wrong with you?"
Su Mingyu shook her head repeatedly. "It's nothing. Since the King of Yu wants to marry the princess, your younger sister in the mansion should be properly arranged. Beware of trouble in the harem."
Hearing Su Mingyu's formulaic words, the King of Yu suddenly felt a bit bored. So he lowered his eyes. "I'll decide this matter myself. You don't need to worry, Princess. I think Yue'er should have rested enough. It's time for us to go back to the mansion. After all, we've bothered you for so long."
Watching the King of Yu's back as he left after speaking, Su Mingyu pursed her lips. Well, she had managed to upset him.
But at least she had found out that the King of Yu really wanted to win over Wu Yurou and get a share of Linfeng.
Just as Su Mingyu was thinking, her arm hurt. She took a deep breath, bit her lower lip, and turned to look at Gu Ruobai. "Aren't you being a bit too much? This time I was clearly talking to him in front of you. Why did you hit me with so many stones?"
Gu Ruobai slowly rolled his wheelchair up to Su Mingyu, then raised an eyebrow and looked at her. "If you hadn't been in front of me this time, it wouldn't have been stones thrown at you."
