"No! I have to go back and save my father!" Jin Suting rushed out in a fit of anger.
Helan Ruizhe grabbed her by the scruff of her neck and said, "Don't be impulsive."
Impulse is the devil, anger is the devil, don’t let the devil hurt your body.
She wouldn't be able to solve anything if she rushed back like this, and she might even end up being killed by those who kidnapped her father.
Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, don’t be angry, Jin Suting said to herself.
But after she sat down, she felt depressed again. She didn't even know where her father was, so how could she save him? She lowered her head and looked at Helan Ruizhe aggrievedly, thinking that he must have a way.
"Let's move back tomorrow." Helan Ruizhe said this calmly in front of Jin Suting's expectant eyes.
The bright little sparks in his eyes went out in an instant.
"Where's your plan?" Where's Helan Yinsheng, the meticulous and conscientious person who always has a plan B even if things fail?!
"My plan is to let you return to the general's mansion." Helan Ruizhe told him his confident plan.
"Just sit back and wait? You want to use me as bait?!" Jin Suting didn't look as scared as she should have, but instead seemed a little... excited?
"How could I bear to let you be bait?" Helan Ruizhe paused, "I'll hide in your carriage when you return home."
"But you're such a big deal, how can I keep you from being discovered?" If there was more than one person pretending to be her father in the general's mansion, and there were other spies, they would definitely discover Helan Ruizhe in her carriage.
"Stupid." Helan Ruizhe spat out a word, and then said: "Tomorrow I will prepare two boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, one box for real money, and one box for me."
"Smart!" Jin Suting gave him a thumbs up.
Helan Ruizhe's plan was that, if nothing unexpected happened, on the first night Jin Suting returned home, in order to avoid any further complications, the person pretending to be the old general would definitely attack her.
He hid in Jin Suting's room, and he was prepared for the man's attack.
But plans can never keep up with changes. The next day, Jin Suting left the Eastern Palace in a carriage. No one knew who leaked the news to the Queen Mother, and the news that the Crown Princess had been found was immediately known to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother would indeed cause trouble. Perhaps Shi Qingmiao said something in her ear, whether happy or not. The Queen Mother immediately issued an imperial decree to hold the wedding as scheduled, and called Helan Ruizhe and Jin Suting into the palace.
He said a lot of random things, but mainly blamed Helan Ruizhe for hiding the person in the East Palace for half a month and lying to people that the person was missing.
Although he was not very friendly with Jin Suting, it was much better than the previous tit-for-tat relationship.
Jin Suting used the high-end stove in the imperial kitchen to cook many side dishes for the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was very happy, and Shi Qingmiao was also very happy.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was happy, her mood improved and her illness healed faster.
But Helan Ruizhe was unhappy. He glared at Shi Qingmiao intentionally or unintentionally, with a forced smile. It must be this kid who leaked the secret.
Even though people are in the palace, there are still many spies outside the palace.
"Sister Su, your cooking skills have improved a lot! The sweet and sour spare ribs are so delicious!"
"Really? Haha," Jin Suting scratched her head embarrassedly, "I haven't cooked much these days, so my cooking skills are a little rusty. I hope you like it."
Fortunately, they could go back at night, but the threshold of the general's mansion had been broken down.
They were all gifts sent by dignitaries. After all, the divorce was only a little over a month away. These flatterers really scared the "old general". After meeting a few people, he said he was not feeling well and refused to see any guests.
"I guess he's afraid of being exposed."
Jin Suting had an expression as if she understood everything, and her eyes were full of reluctance as she faced Helan Ruizhe who was about to part with her.
"I'll come find you when night falls."
Helan Ruizhe was sure that the "old general" would not dare to act rashly tonight, but he was also worried about Jin Suting staying alone in the general's mansion, so he said he would come over after nightfall.
Jin Suting returned to the familiar courtyard, which had already been cleaned by the servants.
The flowers and plants have not been taken care of for half a month, and they are growing wildly as if they have eaten feed.
The maids were new, there were only two of them, named Xiaoqi and Xiaoba, which were quite careless names.
Jin Suting lay on the bed, smelling the familiar scent, feeling so comfortable.
"Miss, the lady is here."
lady?
Lu Xiaoxiao...
Jin Suting turned over and sat up. As soon as she came back, Lu Xiaoxiao came over. Is this a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken?
She sat in front of the eight-immortals table, looking at Lu Xiaoxiao who suddenly knelt down opposite her, not knowing what to say.
It was not completely dark yet, but Jin Suting's mind was full of black lines.
"If you have something to say, please speak nicely and don't kneel down all the time."
Could it be that even she is a fake?
Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't get up. She seemed to muster up a lot of courage and said, "I came here to ask you to do me a favor. Help Wen'er find a good family. You are already the Crown Princess, so you must know many powerful and wealthy men. Please help your sister. Although I targeted you in the past, I raised you for many years. For this reason, I hope you can let bygones be bygones..."
It turned out that he had something to ask of her...
Is this some kind of hilarious drama? The stepdaughter rises to become the crown princess, and the stepmother kneels down to beg for help.
Such a bloody plot, only Jin Suting can go through it...
"I will definitely settle our past grudges," Jin Suting helped the person up. Lu Xiaoxiao would die if she kept kneeling like this, so she took two steps back. "I've always been a vindictive and petty person, don't you know? Why should I help someone who hurt me and wants to kill me? You might as well ask Guan Erye for help instead of asking me. Save your energy."
