The adjutants behind Xi Chenzhou couldn't help but show strange expressions:
Do you know who our general's sweetheart is?
It's ridiculous that they're spouting such nonsense here!
He wanted to laugh inwardly, but he held it in, which made his expression look strange. He couldn't help but say, "General Lin, you'd better not say anything! Our general will not marry Miss Lin. What's the point of you saying these things now?"
General Lin was annoyed, but when he turned around, he saw his granddaughter hiding behind him, her face slightly flushed, while Xi Chenzhou stared coldly at her—
A thought suddenly occurred to him.
Why is Xi Chenzhou looking at his granddaughter like that? Could it be that he's finally changed his mind after seeing her? Heh, that's not entirely impossible, if he's willing to swear to treat his granddaughter well...
General Lin couldn't help but let his thoughts wander, and Miss Lin blushed deeply.
This General Xi was more handsome, more imposing, and more...heart-pounding than she had imagined.
Xi Chenzhou glanced at Miss Lin, then turned his gaze away indifferently.
Is this the Lin Siman from the original world setting, who would climb up by stepping on A-Tong's reputation?
At that time, A-Tong was suffering humiliation in the palace. Everyone looked down on the Empress, but they all fawned over Lin Si-Man, who was outstanding in family background, appearance and talent.
In order to win over General Lin, Yun Zong specially bestowed upon her the title of Princess. The纨绔子弟 (sons of wealthy families) in the capital even called her the number one talented woman in the capital and the model of all women.
She always puts on a kind and innocent facade, hiding her sinister and ugly heart, which is extremely filthy.
Sometimes at banquets, she would meet Ah Tong and deliberately scheme to embarrass Ah Tong, making everyone laugh at her. In contrast, this made her appear even more noble and dignified.
Miss Lin, gentle and charming, said with concern, "General Xi is so tired, yet she is resting so well. If I were General Xi's lover, how could I bear to see him like this, causing him so much trouble—"
Before she could finish speaking, Xi Chenzhou coldly interrupted her.
“Since you know you’ve caused me trouble,” Xi Chenzhou said indifferently, “then stop trying to get close to me.”
General Lin, lost in his fantasies, froze, while Miss Lin's face swirled between pale, red, and black, causing the surrounding crowd to burst into laughter, gloating.
Miss Lin contorted her face, trying her best to maintain a smile: "General Xi must have misunderstood, I really didn't..."
"A misunderstanding is even better, then there's no need to say anything more."
Suddenly, a cheerful laugh rang out from outside the door, and the door was suddenly pushed open. Miss Lin looked up and saw a girl in black walking in calmly.
The girl looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. Her wide sleeves flowed as she walked. Her face was beautiful and bright, her features were bold and exquisite, and her temperament was both flamboyant and composed. For some reason, there was also a kind of majesty that made me feel involuntarily afraid.
"You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish? You are not me, so don't presume to speculate about our relationship."
The girl raised her head slightly, her gaze sweeping over her with a sharp look that seemed to see right through her thoughts in the blink of an eye.
Lin Siman shuddered instinctively, her body shrinking back involuntarily, feeling guilty and fearful.
"I—you—young lady, you've misunderstood, I—"
The girl in black ignored her completely, her gaze clear and natural as she looked at the man who had been stunned ever since she appeared.
She raised her eyebrows and said, "You seem very busy. You have time to come here at night but no time to go back. You can sleep in the study from now on; it will be more convenient for working."
