Si Jinxing could have dodged, but she looked at him coldly, motionless, and took the slap in the face.
She really wanted to ask the original owner, who had lost her mother at a young age, whether she still wanted this only remaining father?
She should give up!
Although Si Junshan had been injured for many days, he was still a veteran who had fought on the battlefield for a long time, and he exuded a murderous aura!
He watched as he was slapped but remained motionless, his eyes fixed on his second daughter. His anger grew even stronger, and he pointed at her and cursed:
"You're not even married yet, yet you're secretly meeting a strange man outside the city! You should know that you and the Ninth Prince have been granted a marriage! Why are you so shameless? You've completely disgraced the General's Mansion!"
Si Jinxing's face was burning with pain, and there was no warmth in her eyes. She asked:
"General Si, you have always been so confused about right and wrong, making decisions without even asking me a single question.
You would rather believe others than me!
For example, regarding what happened today, I went to the western suburbs camp with the Ninth Prince. Do you believe it?
For example, what happened to my mother ten years ago! Someone else also framed me, do you believe it? "
Si Junshan's chest heaved with anger, and he pointed at Si Jinxing and said angrily:
"Women are never allowed to enter the Western Suburbs Camp. How dare you tell such a huge lie!
Your mother, don't mention her to me!
If it weren't for you, how could she have died so miserably!"
Si Jinxing nodded, snorted and chuckled, "Yeah, you don't believe anything I say. If that's the case, there's no point in saying more!"
Upon hearing this, Si Junshan said angrily, "There's evidence and witnesses, yet you're still trying to make excuses! You really disappoint me!"
After he finished speaking, he turned away.
Si Jinxing helped Lu Zhu, who was kneeling in the courtyard, to his feet and said, "He's gone. Go get some water to bathe. I'm tired."
With tears in her eyes, Luzhu glanced at her young lady before turning around and going to the kitchen to boil water.
Si Junshan walked towards the pine garden angrily. Ling Su, who was following him, sighed and advised:
"General, why can't you listen carefully to the Second Young Lady's explanation?"
Si Junshan paused, his face still furious. He glanced at the darkened and silent Suihua Garden behind him and said in a deep voice:
"Ling Su, you just returned from your hometown to worship your ancestors and you don't know it yet, but this girl is now bold and reckless, disobedient and unfilial, not at all like her mother...
Now, she's actually...leaving the city with a strange man! She's completely disgraced me!"
Ling Su is Si Junshan's most capable assistant. After returning from Hanlan, he heard the sad news of his mother's death and went straight back to his hometown. He only returned to the general's mansion today.
He held up the torch, lighting the way, and after a moment's hesitation, he said:
"Then maybe the eldest young master of the Zhou family was mistaken?
Perhaps...there really is a hidden story behind what happened to Madam back then?"
Upon hearing this, Si Junshan paused, and the mockery in his second daughter's eyes flashed through his mind: Will you believe it?
How could he believe it?
He shook his head and said:
"The eldest young master of the Zhou family was returning to the city today, and he saw her riding a horse with a man at the city gate. How could this be wrong?
You saw it too, it was already midnight when she came back exhausted!
Besides, what hidden secrets could there be about what happened back then?
If she hadn't been greedy and asked the kitchen to make that snack, how would Xinshui have been able to eat it? Poor Xinshui and the baby in her belly died.
If not, considering her young age, I..."
Si Junshan thought about the past, his face showed sadness, and he could not say any more.
His usually upright posture suddenly slumped down, as if he had aged several years. He waved his hand to stop Ling Su from following him, and walked step by step into the depths of the dark night alone.
He thought he had let it go after so many years.
But every time he faced his second daughter, the hatred in his heart suddenly exploded!
Ever since his wife got into trouble, he asked for permission to stay at the border all year round. He would come back occasionally, but he would pretend not to see her and treat her as air!
Now he realized that no matter how long he ran away, he would never be able to forgive her!
He staggered to Yizhu Garden, which was the closest yard to his pine garden.
His beloved wife once lived here, but now the house is empty.
He squatted against the wall of the bamboo garden, his face washed over and over by tears...
From the moment he first met her, he admired and yearned for her. He was just a small Zhaowu captain, but she saw his sincerity and married him against all odds.
In order to prevent her from losing face in front of her parents' home, he fought bravely whenever there were internal and external troubles, always taking the lead and charging into battle. He tried his best and was promoted four times in two years, from the sixth rank Zhaowu Captain to the fourth rank Zhongwu General!
She never cared about these things, but she always wanted her parents to know that she did not choose the wrong person!
Life was getting better and better, but she couldn't get pregnant. Whenever she mentioned it, she always felt guilty towards him. In fact, he didn't care about it at all. Having her in his life was enough.
But the old lady and she said the same thing and forced her to take two concubines.
He had a child, but he was not happy.
Until later, she also became pregnant, and it was his and her child!
He was ecstatic and wished that the whole Jianzhou knew that he, Si Junshan, was pregnant!
He carefully cared for his beloved wife and stayed with her all day except for attending court every day, looking forward to the birth of their first child!
But, it’s because of this child!
The love of his life, the support of his life, all the good things he had, all vanished into thin air...
He hated her so much... He wished he could strangle her to death with his own hands, but the blood flowing from her body was his beloved wife's...
He is tired, why save him? Why not let him go to see her...
It was late at night, the stars were twinkling, and the night breeze was cool.
Si Jinxing finished bathing, put on his inner clothes, walked to the window, and asked, "Have you made any progress on the matter I asked you to investigate?"
Bai Xi stood outside the window and said:
"We've found some traces. I believe we'll be able to head to the capital in a few days."
Si Jinxing nodded and said, "Okay."
The autumn night wind is always cold. She took down the fork on the windowsill and closed the window.
A dreamless night.
The next morning, it was dawn.
Si Jinxing hadn't gotten up early to exercise for a long time. After a day of hard work in the military camp yesterday, he felt sore all over.
Suihua Garden was quite empty, with only a few trees planted there, but it was not small. She ran around the yard five times and practiced the ten Taekwondo moves over and over again, sweating profusely.
She refused Luzhu's suggestion to boil water for a bath and only asked her to go to the big kitchen to serve breakfast.
She entered the room and then slipped into Xinglin Yaxu's bathroom on the third floor.
She took a comfortable shower under the constant temperature shower head, dried her hair with a hair dryer, then changed her clothes and left Xinglin Yaxu.
But as soon as she came out, she heard Luzhu's complaints:
"Miss, the head kitchen said that they received a message from the general and are not allowed to provide three meals a day to Suihua Garden in the future."
