Chapter 30: Proposal Tomorrow



Xiao Duo leaned against the window frame and jumped into the ancestral hall. "I heard from your maid that you were punished to go to the ancestral hall. I wanted to come and take a look."

"After this look, the little general can leave now." Su Jinyue said.

As if he didn't hear Su Jinyue's words, Xiao Duo frowned slightly when he saw that there was not even a futon in the ancestral hall.

"You're just going to kneel here?"

Su Jinyue didn't want to tell the truth about what happened just now. She looked at Xiao Duo and said, "Young General, why did you come to see me today?"

"You've not even married into my Xiao family yet, and you're already controlling me?" Xiao Duo raised his eyebrows.

Su Jinyue bent her eyes and smiled, "How dare I, General Xiao?"

Seeing Su Jinyue's embarrassment, Xiao Duo knew in his heart that she was probably being wronged.

"You haven't told me yet why you were punished to go to the ancestral hall today?"

Su Jinyue raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Duo, "Young General, do you think it's important why you were punished? If you want to punish me, then punish me."

Although Xiao Duo knew that Su Jinyue was not having a good time in the Su family, he had never thought that she would be in such a situation today, and he felt a little distressed.

Before he could open his mouth, he heard Su Jinyue's voice again.

Su Jinyue said, "I haven't even married into your Zhenguo Mansion yet, and General Xiao is already taking care of my affairs?"

Xiao Duo: “…”

Hearing Su Jinyue returning his words word for word, Xiao Duo was choked, but he found her somewhat interesting.

Xiao Duo leaned against the window and did not continue the conversation. "My mother will come to propose marriage tomorrow."

Su Jinyue was not surprised by this. Considering the time when the imperial edict was delivered, it was about time for the Duke of Zhenguo to come and propose marriage.

So, she knew that her grandmother was unhappy tonight, but she deliberately angered her grandmother and asked her to enter the ancestral hall.

Su Jinyue responded, "I understand."

Seeing her indifferent reaction, Xiao Duo was wondering in his heart whether Su Jinyue understood the meaning of his words.

"You..." Xiao Duo wanted to say something else to her, but she suddenly interrupted him.

"By the way, young general, since you are here, I have something to explain to you."

Su Jinyue said: "After some time, there will be a big chaos at the Mokou border."

Hearing this, Xiao Duo was stunned for a moment, then smiled nonchalantly and said, "Can Miss Su predict what will happen in the future?"

Seeing that Xiao Duo didn't believe what she said, Su Jinyue was silent for a moment and then said, "The young general was injured in the abdomen. There is a three-inch long knife wound just below the belly button."

Xiao Duo's expression faded. "I have been injured in the abdomen. Everyone around me knows it. Anyone who is interested will know it after checking."

"Do the others know that the knife that injured the young general was poisoned, and the poison has never been completely removed?"

Xiao Duo, who was originally leaning against the window, suddenly stood up straight, walked a few steps to Su Jinyue, lowered his eyes and looked at her, "How did you know?!"

Su Jinyue raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Duo with a smile on her face, "I also know that the young general's poison will attack once a month, and each time it happens at night, the pain is unbearable, and every time he has to use the pain-blocking pill to get through the night."

Xiao Duo looked at Su Jinyue with a gradually scrutinizing gaze. Only he and a doctor he trusted knew that Su Jinyue had not recovered from the poisoning.

The general has a poisonous wound on his body, and it is easy for him to be caught in a weakness. This matter must not be made known to others!

Xiao Duo lowered his eyes, and his dark pupils stared at Su Jinyue's white, slender and fragile neck in the candlelight.

Su Jinyue felt the coldness in Xiao Duo's eyes, but was not afraid at all, "Now, General, can you trust me?"

After she finished speaking, the ancestral hall was silent for a long time.

Xiao Duo said, "Tell me, what kind of chaos will happen in Mokou."

"If the border is breached, two cities will be lost on the Mokou border."

"What?!"

Even though Xiao Duo was prepared, he was still a little shocked when he heard Su Jinyue say this.

After the shock, Xiao Duo's eyes regained their composure and he stared at Su Jinyue, "You trust me so much, aren't you afraid that I will use the matter of the Marquis as an excuse to gain military merit?"

Su Jinyue smiled and said, "If it's possible, I'd love to."

At this moment, Xiao Duo suddenly felt that he really couldn't figure out the woman in front of him.

Xiao Duo said: "Miss Su is willing to sacrifice her own family for the sake of justice."

Hearing the tentative meaning in Xiao Duo's words, Su Jinyue said calmly: "First the country, then the family. Although I am a woman, I also understand the pros and cons of this matter."

Xiao Duo looked at Su Jinyue with a dark look in his eyes, "Then I will go back first."

"etc."

Su Jinyue called Xiao Duo, "Young General, your knife wound is seriously poisoned, maybe I can cure it."

Xiao Duo turned around and looked at Su Jinyue with complicated eyes, "This poison has no antidote. Do you think you can cure it?"

"able."

Su Jinyue took a step forward confidently and raised her hand to lift up Xiao Duo's clothes, "Let me see the original injury first."

Seeing that Su Jinyue was really about to lift up his clothes, Xiao Duo became visibly nervous!

He quickly stepped back, his figure slightly flustered, not daring to look in Su Jinyue's direction, "Miss Su! You...openly want to see a man's body, do you know the difference between men and women?"

Su Jinyue looked at him with a calm expression, "Oh? So this is the separation between men and women?"

"I thought that the young general had already forgotten what it meant to keep men and women apart after he broke into my ancestral hall in the middle of the night."

Xiao Duo was speechless after hearing her words and turned to leave.

Su Jinyue stood behind him and pursed her lips and smiled secretly, "What I just said is true, I can cure your poison, young general, don't you really want to take a look?"

Xiao Duo tightened his grip on the window frame, somersaulted gracefully, leaped out of the ancestral hall, and disappeared into the darkness.

Walking over and looking outside, Xiao Duo was no longer visible. Su Jinyue curled her lips and closed the window, "This little general is really hard to resist."

After staying in the ancestral hall for one night, the sound of a door being unlocked was heard outside the hall early in the morning.

Su Jinyue jumped up and knelt on the ground in a pretentious manner.

Squeak——

The door of the ancestral hall was pushed open, and a ray of sunlight fell on the ground inside the hall.

Old Madam Su was supported by Su Zhiyao into the ancestral hall.

Su Yan and Jiang Caiping, who were following behind, both looked unhappy.

As soon as Liu entered the ancestral hall and saw Su Jinyue kneeling on the ground, she said, "I have never seen a young lady from any family who is so ignorant of etiquette and bullies servants."

Su Zhiyue supported Old Lady Su, turned around and said softly to Liu: "Aunt, grandmother punished you to kneel in the ancestral hall all night, you should know your mistake."

Su Chengjiang, a brainless man, heard Su Zhiyao "defending" Su Jinyue and was eager to belittle her, "She is such a vicious woman! She should be deprived of food and water and made to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days before she realizes her mistake!"
