Su Mingyu raised her eyebrows. See, this was the man she, Su Mingyu, had chosen. How could he do such a despicable thing?
"Okay, I believe you." Saying so, Su Mingyu stood on tiptoe and planted a kiss on his face. "Alright, go quickly. The matter of King Yu is more important. I'll leave the safety of the people in Liuyun to you!"
Hearing the banter in Su Mingyu's words, Gu Ruobai said helplessly, "You're really in a good mood. Even in this situation, you still have the mood to tease me."
Su Mingyu patted him on the shoulder. "I believe in your strength. I believe you're more powerful than King Yu. You'll defeat him and then come to pick me up."
Gu Ruobai nodded. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly turned back and hugged Su Mingyu tightly. "It seems I always make you wait."
Su Mingyu hugged him back. "I'm willing to wait for you. It's okay."
After they hugged tightly for a while, Su Mingyu patted Gu Ruobai on the back. "Come on, stop dawdling. King Yu will be back soon."
Watching Gu Ruobai leave, Su Mingyu let out a long sigh. The uneasiness in her heart just wouldn't go away.
Her intuition told her that this time the matter wouldn't be as simple as before. King Yu had soldiers, but even Gu Ruobai's powerful intelligence network didn't know where his soldiers were or how many there were. This battle was simply unwinnable.
She tossed and turned all night and couldn't fall asleep. Early the next morning, Su Mingyu blocked King Yu. "Your mansion is like an iron - walled fortress. I can't escape no matter where I go. Why can't you let me walk freely in this mansion?"
"Because this is my mansion." King Yu didn't even look at her and was about to turn away. Su Mingyu raised her hand to stop him. "Wait a minute. I have something to say."
"What do you want to say this time?" King Yu seemed extremely impatient.
Su Mingyu pouted. "My younger sister has already given birth, but I haven't shown up to see her. Do you think this is normal?"
"See her?" King Yu snorted. "Do you two have such a relationship that you need to go and see her?"
"That's true, but we still need to do some face - saving work." Su Mingyu raised her eyebrows. "Well, you can just send someone to follow me all the time. He can watch whatever I do. Then you should be relieved, right?"
"Are you sure you just want to go and see Su Yueyue?" King Yu squinted his eyes and looked at her.
Su Mingyu nodded. "Yes, she did give birth to a son, but you replaced it. Do you think Su Yueyue, who trusts you so much, will believe me?"
The answer was, of course, no. In Su Yueyue's mind, she and Su Mingyu had always been on opposite sides. So how could she believe Su Mingyu's words?
"Fine, then I'll let you go and see her." King Yu seemed to be convinced. "But let's make it clear. Don't say anything random or wander around."
Su Mingyu immediately nodded. "Yes, Your Highness."
"Alright, go." King Yu really loved and hated her. He was annoyed when he saw her, but he always missed her when she was out of sight.
Finally getting a chance to breathe, Su Mingyu didn't even think twice. She immediately asked someone to follow her, prepared some gifts by the way, and went to Su Yueyue's courtyard.
Su Yueyue's courtyard had been extremely desolate these days. It seemed that everyone knew she had given birth to a daughter and stopped interacting with her. Even the maids were not as respectful to her as before.
When Su Mingyu walked in, there was only a maid and an old nanny in the whole courtyard.
When they saw it was Su Mingyu, they were startled.
Su Mingyu hooked her lips into a smile. "What? Nanny, don't you recognize me?"
"Get out!" The old nanny's face looked bad. "Miss just gave birth. She's very weak now and can't take any anger."
"I'm just here on behalf of our Prince Ruixian's Mansion to see my younger sister." Su Mingyu raised her eyebrows, surprised that there was such a kind - hearted nanny beside a villain like Su Yueyue. "What do you mean, Nanny? Don't you take the Prince Ruixian's Mansion seriously?"
Hearing about the Prince Ruixian's Mansion, the nanny shut up. She was just a dowry nanny of Su Yueyue. How could she have the right to stop the princess of the Prince Ruixian from seeing her younger sister?
Seeing that the nanny stepped aside, Su Mingyu strode in and immediately saw Su Yueyue with a pale face inside.
Su Mingyu walked up and greeted her, not overly enthusiastically. "Oh~ Congratulations, younger sister, on giving birth to a precious daughter."
Su Yueyue gave her a tired look and said in a hoarse voice, "Are you really here to congratulate me, or are you here to laugh at me?"
"Of course I'm here to congratulate you." Su Mingyu shrugged and smiled. "Come on, look at what your elder sister brought for you."
Then she asked someone to quickly give Su Yueyue tonics like bird's nest, ginseng, and white fungus. Then she deliberately said in a solemn tone, "Younger sister, don't be so disappointed just because you gave birth to a girl in your first pregnancy. You're still young. You can have more children. The next one will surely be a son."
"You're just deliberately trying to anger me!" Su Yueyue's face darkened. "You clearly know what I care about most now is not giving birth to a son, and you still deliberately say such things. Take your stuff and get out. I don't want to see you at all."
Su Mingyu wasn't annoyed at all. She even pulled up a stool and sat opposite Su Yueyue. "Don't be so eager to drive me away. I really didn't come here to laugh at you today."
Then Su Mingyu glanced at Su Yueyue, whose face looked ugly. "I know you're a bit moody because you didn't give birth to a son. That's normal. But as your elder sister, there's one thing I have to remind you of."
"You can be angry and not see the prince now. You can also ignore everyone. You can even show no concern for your daughter at all." Su Mingyu pursed her lips. "But you have to know that Wu Yurou is pregnant. If she gives birth to a son, have you thought about how embarrassing your situation will be in this mansion?"
"What exactly do you want to say?" There was no longer the laziness in Su Yueyue's eyes. Instead, there was a glint of sharpness.
Seeing this, Su Mingyu knew that she must have taken her words to heart. So she continued, "It doesn't mean anything. I just want to tell my younger sister to hold on to King Yu tightly. So what if you gave birth to a daughter?
"You can still have a son in the future. But if you make King Yu unhappy and make him dislike you, then you'll really have no chance at all in the future. You have to know that there's still a main wife and her children in this mansion. This is what you should be concerned about, instead of just regretting why you didn't give birth to a son this time."
