"Everyone in the capital knows that the King of Yu wants to marry Wu Yurou. Sister brought the princess here today and even created some alone time for the King of Yu and the princess. Isn't it just to promote the relationship between the princess and the King of Yu?"
Su Mingyu squinted her eyes. "It seems that my younger sister knows everything clearly."
"Bring some tea for sister." Su Yueyue answered Su Mingyu slowly while reading a book, looking as if she was in no hurry at all.
Su Mingyu didn't say much either. She just stayed there for quite a while before getting up. "Younger sister needs to rest more now. I'll go back first today. If the King of Yu asks later, please help me explain."
Su Yueyue didn't even raise her head. "Okay."
Seeing her confident look, Su Mingyu knew that Su Yueyue must have had a plan.
However, Su Mingyu was too lazy to care about their business. Just as she was walking out of the King of Yu's mansion, she unexpectedly felt someone following her.
As a former agent, Su Mingyu immediately dodged into an alley. After waiting for a moment, three flustered men ran past her. While running, they were still wondering, "Where is she? She was here just now!"
Just as they were about to leave, Su Mingyu in the alley suddenly coughed lightly. "Who are you? Why are you following me?"
Those men seemed to have never expected to be discovered so easily by Su Mingyu. Their faces darkened and they immediately drew out their blades.
Su Mingyu lowered her eyes and looked at them. "May I ask who on earth wants to arrest me?"
Those men looked at each other and slowly surrounded Su Mingyu in the middle. "Be honest. If you come with us, you'll know who wants to arrest you."
"Unfortunately," Su Mingyu raised her eyebrows. "I hate people who let others manipulate them the most."
With that, Su Mingyu slowly walked towards one of the men. "Judging from your looks, you don't seem to be the servants of a mansion, nor the members of a gang. Are you just some wandering outlaws?"
"You... Don't mind where we're from. If you want to know the answer, just come with us!" The man's legs were obviously a bit weak.
Su Mingyu saw it and curled her lips in disdain. "I'm not exaggerating. You guys are really no match for me. Do you think you can take me away like this?"
As she said, Su Mingyu raised her hand and chopped at the man's hand in front of her. The man let out a cry of pain and his blade fell to the ground, making a crisp "ding" sound.
Before the other two men could react, Su Mingyu kicked them both away with one kick each.
The leading man obviously didn't expect Su Mingyu to be so powerful. He was completely stunned and even forgot to run away.
It was not until Su Mingyu grabbed his collar that the man came to his senses.
Su Mingyu gave the leading man a cold look and asked in a low voice, "The person who sent you guys to arrest me must not know me well."
People who were a bit closer to Su Mingyu all knew that Su Mingyu was very good at martial arts. She could easily take down these few people without even breaking a sweat.
The man seemed to have never expected Su Mingyu to be so tough. Immediately, his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground. "Heroine! Heroine! We just took someone's money and did things for them..."
Su Mingyu raised her eyebrows. "Who gave you the money?"
The leading man squinted his eyes and thought for a long time. Then he frowned. "I don't know either... That person was wearing a veil and her voice was very low. I only know that she was a woman. Because she was very generous, we... we took this job."
"But I really didn't expect that the opponent would be someone like you, the heroine." There was a thin layer of sweat on the man's forehead.
Seeing this, Su Mingyu knew that she couldn't get any more information. So she waved her hand impatiently. "Alright, you guys can go."
Watching the backs of those people running away as if they were escaping, Su Mingyu frowned. She wondered why she felt like she hadn't offended anyone recently.
When she got back to the Prince of Ruixian's mansion and told Gu Ruobai about this, Gu Ruobai almost blurted out a name without thinking. "Wu Yurou."
Su Mingyu frowned. "The princess? She has fought with me before. She should know that those people are no match for me."
"She only fought with you once. Maybe she just thought that you were a person with a bit of martial arts skills." Gu Ruobai pulled Su Mingyu to his side and looked her up and down. "Otherwise, it doesn't make sense why she suddenly invited you to go to Su Yueyue's place with her."
Su Mingyu thought for a while and nodded. "After all, our relationship is not that good."
On that day, Wu Yurou didn't come back until it was dark. Su Mingyu and Gu Ruobai were sitting in the main hall waiting for her.
As soon as she saw that Su Mingyu was safe and sound, her face immediately changed. But she quickly adjusted her expression. "Princess Consort, you're back so early."
Su Mingyu squinted her eyes. "Judging from the princess's happy look, is it that your good deed with the King of Yu is about to happen?"
Wu Yurou pursed her lips. "This matter seems to have nothing to do with the princess consort, right?"
Hearing Wu Yurou's words, Gu Ruobai spoke first. "Yurou, we had a friendship on the border. And because you're younger, I usually don't care about your willfulness."
"However..." Gu Ruobai paused here and his face darkened. "Mingyu is my wife, and from now on, I won't marry anyone else except her. I hope you can understand this clearly. If you do anything to hurt Mingyu again, don't blame me for being merciless."
"I!" Wu Yurou opened her mouth to complain, but under Gu Ruobai's cold gaze, she finally lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I'm just not willing! Why! It was clearly me who met you first."
Gu Ruobai directly took Su Mingyu's hand and said coldly, "Actually, she met me earlier than you. And Mingyu never disliked my leg injury. Do you know why she was willing to take the risk of being scolded, assassinated, or even torn apart by wild beasts to participate in the autumn hunt which was only for men?"
Although Gu Ruobai was asking, he didn't wait for Wu Yurou to answer and continued, "It's because she didn't want others to laugh at me. I, Gu Ruobai, was once a god of war on the border, but now I can only live like this. But she was still willing to fight for my dignity. Wu Yurou, I can say the same thing many times. The only one I, Gu Ruobai, want is Su Mingyu."
Wu Yurou looked at the hands they were tightly holding and clenched her fists tightly. "Do you really have to treat me like this?"
