“I don’t know which military camp Xiao Jinhan left from. I only know that he was sent to the military camp by the Xiao family when he was eight years old. Now he has left the military camp because of a leg injury that made him lame. Moreover…” Wei Jianjia frowned and shook her head. She felt even more absurd as she spoke.
"Moreover, it is said that on the day he returned to Shanghe Village, he was kicked out of the house by Lao Xiao's family and was left without even a place to stay."
She had people inquire about all of this in Shanghe Village before dealing with Su Hua.
Who doesn't know the name of the young general of Zhennan Camp?
During the reign of Emperor Yu, the spoils of war captured by soldiers during campaigns were divided equally between the army and the imperial court. This young general had made outstanding contributions in the army and captured countless spoils. He would certainly receive a substantial share. Even without mentioning these spoils, his annual salary alone was almost the same as his father's.
If Xiao Jinhan were a young general, how could the Xiao family have kicked him out on the very day he returned to his hometown?
Isn't this the same as kicking the God of Wealth out of the house?
Only a fool would do that!
"Entered the army at the age of eight?" Wei Hui's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. "Jia'er, how old is this person? What does he look like? How good is his martial arts?"
Seeing this, Wei Jianjia dared not hide anything and could only honestly say, "Xiao Jinhan looks to be about eighteen or nineteen years old. He is tall and handsome, and even in the capital, he would be one of the best. His martial arts skills are somewhat strange. When we first met him on the street in Qingshui County, he did not need to use a single sword or knife. He simply threw down all of my daughter's guards with a wave of his hand."
Upon hearing this, Wei Hui narrowed his long, slender eyes slightly. "Eighteen or nineteen years old, with a handsome appearance and excellent martial arts skills, and he happens to be under the jurisdiction of Tangshan Prefecture, who else could it be but that young general?"
"What?! How is this possible?!" Wei Jianjia exclaimed in surprise.
His eyes were filled with disbelief. "Father, could you be mistaken? He's just a country bumpkin who's unloved by his parents and knows some crude martial arts. How could he possibly be a young general in the Zhennan Camp?! This is absolutely impossible..."
“There’s no mistake.” Wei Hui shook his head. “Although Father has never met this newly appointed General Zhennan, His Majesty often mentions him in court. Everything you said is exactly the same as this General Zhennan, so there’s no mistake.”
"Xiao Jinhan is the newly appointed General Zhennan?"
The girl murmured softly, as if she had suddenly been slapped hard across the face.
The crippled man she had always looked down upon, whom she considered inferior, was actually a renowned young general? This was simply too absurd!
Thinking of that man, who had tormented and humiliated her to this state for the sake of a mere Su Hua, she trembled with rage.
Why?! Why is she, the daughter of a high-ranking official, inferior to a woman from humble beginnings as a laborer?
Not only is the person she has been longing for for over a decade nothing in Su Hua's eyes, but she also has such a powerful young general by her side who dotes on her, spoils her, and protects her, while Wei Jianjia doesn't even have anyone to rely on. Heaven is just too unfair!
Wei Hui pondered for a long time, his gaze sweeping downwards a few times, "Jia'er, are these things on you... also left behind by Xiao Jinhan?"
"What?" Wei Jianjia was immersed in her resentment.
Following the man's gaze, she saw him looking at the bruises on her arm and suddenly realized what was happening. A wave of shame and embarrassment washed over her. "Father, no, these weren't left by Xiao Jinhan, but he caused them all!"
He's a demon who crawled out of hell!
After Su Hua broke her daughter's hands and feet, Xiao Jinhan ordered his men to send her to bandit dens in various prefectures, so that when the bandits tried to do something wrong, they would carry out a large-scale rescue.
Now, from Wuxi Prefecture to Shangjing, everyone in the prefectures and cities knows that their daughter has been kidnapped and taken to a bandit's den.
"They've ruined my reputation, Father! You must kill them, you must make Su Hua and Xiao Jinhan suffer a fate worse than death, to avenge me..."
Upon hearing this, Wei Hui nearly fainted from anger. "This Xiao Jinhan is utterly audacious! He's nothing but a second-rank general with no connections or influence, yet he dares to humiliate my Wei family's children like this, relying on his meager military achievements. He has no respect for me, Wei Hui!"
To leave it at the gate of the mansion to be laughed at by everyone is already a great disgrace.
But he never expected that Xiao Jinhan would be so ruthless, daring to send his daughter to a den of bandits to suffer all kinds of bullying, and even making a big fuss about it, so that the news would spread to everyone in Dayu.
It was as if they were trampling on the face of the entire Wei family!
If he doesn't avenge this, Wei Hui swears he's no longer human.
Thinking of the scene where he was surrounded by a crowd of onlookers, and then of the consequences after the news reached the capital, the man felt his blood rush to his head, and his gaze toward Wei Jianjia turned much colder.
“Jia’er, the daughters of the Wei family have always been chaste and pure. You have been kidnapped into the bandit’s den and cannot even keep your chastity. Have you ever thought about the sisters in your family when you return to the capital like this?”
Upon hearing the man's suddenly cold words, Wei Jianjia's face turned pale.
He's blaming her for not dying outside!
Thinking of this, tears flowed even more fiercely. "Father! It's not that I don't care about my sisters, but Xiao Jinhan's men didn't give me a chance to die."
Whenever his daughter contemplated suicide, his men would appear.
Moreover, although those bandits treated my daughter... treated my daughter..., whenever it mattered, they would step in to eliminate the bandits, and my daughter never lost her innocence; she remained a virgin.
As she said this, she disregarded her embarrassment and quickly lifted a corner of her clothes to show him, "If Father doesn't believe me, you can look at my virginity mark. I was not taken by those bandits."
"The mark of virginity?" Wei Hui glanced down at it, his expression growing even colder.
"Where is this 'virginity mark' you mentioned?"
As soon as Wei Jianjia stopped crying, she turned to look at her exposed skin, only to find it completely empty. She quickly tore off the sleeve of her sleeve, but apart from the bruises, there was nothing else on her entire arm.
"How is this possible? My daughter is clearly innocent, how could her virginity mark be gone..."
