"Su'er——"
Jin Suting held back her tears and threw herself into the old general's arms.
She has not been cherished or respected since she was a child.
She traveled to the country of Fuding and became the eldest daughter of the general's mansion, although things were not going well.
But she does not regret coming here, because it is also a gift from God to her, a good father.
There are also Alan and Qin'er, who look like Shi Qingmiao as Shi Shi imagined.
Maybe she was born unfortunate in the past, but now, in this life, she is lucky.
"I'm sorry, Dad. I came back late and made you worry." Jin Suting burst into tears in the old general's arms.
"It's not too late, it's not too late, I'm glad you're back." The old general's face was full of joy at getting his beloved daughter back after losing her.
Mrs. Lu hurried over from the front hall and was also surprised to see Jin Ting alive.
She didn't die during the chaos of the Lantern Festival? Even though the people she sent couldn't even catch Jin Suting, there was another group of men in black who created chaos, and Qin Er almost died. Why did Jin Suting come back safely?
"Su'er, why did you come back?" asked Mrs. Lu.
Jin Suting broke free from the old general's embrace and wiped away her tears. "My wife seems very unhappy about my return?"
"How is that possible!" Mrs. Lu smiled and tried to smooth things over. She was unhappy. More than unhappy, she was pissed to death. "Su'er, you're back. Mother is naturally very happy. Su'er, are you hungry? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare something for you."
Jin Suting had learned her lesson this time and didn't mention the Lu family sending people to hunt her down. Because she had no evidence, and if she had no evidence, no one would believe her empty words.
"No, I'm not hungry. Thank you for your kindness, madam." Jin Suting said lightly, suppressing her hatred.
"Where are Qin'er and Xiaohei?" This was what she cared about most, after all, they were separated at that time.
"Oh, Qin'er is injured, slightly injured, and is recuperating in his room." The old general said truthfully, "The black Taoist priest is in Suxuan Courtyard, but it's nothing serious!"
The old general still had a serious prejudice against Xiao Hei and kept calling him "black Taoist priest".
"I'll go see them." Jin Suting was worried about Qin'er's injury. After all, she had just recovered from her injury not long ago, and now she was injured again.

Suxuan Courtyard.
As soon as Jin Suting entered the yard, several maids surrounded her. They usually got along well with Jin Suting.
When they heard that Jin Suting had an accident last night and didn't come back all night, some of them cried with worry. But when they saw Jin Suting come back safe and sound, they were overjoyed.
"Miss, it's great to have you back!"
Jin Suting reached out and rubbed the little maid's head, "Where is your sister Tan'er?"
"Oh, Sister Qin'er is in the room. Mother Ming asked her to have a good rest." said the little maid.
"Well, I'll go see her." Jin Suting walked in and went straight to Qin'er's room.
The door was open, and on the threshold, Xiao Hei was dozing off with his head falling to the ground.
"Hey!" Jin Suting acted mischievously and woke Xiao Hei up by patting him.
"Ahhhhhhhh——" Xiao Hei was dreaming about eating a chicken leg, but his dream was shattered when Jin Suting slapped his hand.
Xiao Hei looked up angrily and saw that it was Jin Suting. Tears welled up in his eyes, "Sister, you are finally back. I thought you didn't want us anymore."
Jin Suting's heart softened at Ruanru's words. She sat down next to Xiaohei and said, "Silly children, how could I not want you? You know, we are all from the 21st century and are in the same boat!"
Xiao Hei wiped away his tears, his eyes determined, "Sister, I will definitely grow up, and I will protect you and Sister Qin'er."
The twelve-year-old boy's tone was so firm that Jin Suting's heart warmed. "I believe you."
"Sister, please go in and see Sister Qin'er first. She must be very happy when she knows you are back!" Xiao Hei suddenly thought of something and looked very happy.
"Okay, I'll go in right away." Jin Suting stood up from the steps and walked inside.
Qin'er was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. She had just taken some medicine and fallen asleep. Jin Suting sat down beside the bed and tucked the quilt for her.
Tan'er has always been a light sleeper. She opened her eyes at the slightest movement. When she saw it was Jin Suting, she was so excited that she almost sat up.
However, the movement was too big and it affected the wound, so he had to lie down again.
"Just sleep well, I'm right here." Jin Suting pushed Qin'er back onto the bed and reminded her.
"Miss, where did you go last night? Qin'er is worried about you." Qin'er's words were seven parts worry and three parts blame.
"It was Alan who saved me. Nothing happened to me." Jin Suting replied.
Tan Er immediately made a gossipy face, "Master Alan saved the young lady twice~"
Xiao Hei was also listening intently, "Who is Master Alan?"
Jin Suting retorted: "Little kid, don't ask nonsense."
Xiao Hei pouted. He was already twelve years old, not a child anymore. Besides, his mental age was seventeen!

East Palace.
Helan Ruizhe changed back into a yellow robe with the Qilin on it baring its fangs and claws. His black hair was tied up high with a crown, making him look even more heroic.
"Your Highness, all the men in black last night have been captured and sent to the Dali Temple for trial." Yuan Jing knelt in the hall and reported to Helan Ruizhe.
"Very good," he narrowed his eyes slightly, "Did Nangong Wan find out anything during the interrogation?"
Yuan Jing looked troubled, "The results haven't been released yet."
"You're such a tough nut to crack." Helan Ruizhe laughed sarcastically, "I'll go and see for myself."
——
Dali Temple dungeon.
On the dark and damp ground, rats and cockroaches crawled back and forth, wailing sounds continued to come out of the cells, and a musty smell filled the air.
