But the person involved, Jin Suting, doesn't care about all that. No matter how domineering the original owner was in the past, the most important thing now is to save her life. General Daddy is her only relative in this country of Fuding. Is she stupid if she doesn't please him first?
The old general was also a soft-hearted person. Seeing his daughter, who looked like his late wife, he couldn't get angry to begin with. Now that she was so obedient, his heart and face were already blooming with joy. How could he be angry anymore?
In the main tent, after the old general took his seat, Jin Suting decided to be a total sycophant. She ran over to rub the old general's shoulders and legs, strategically not bringing up the matter of fleeing Funing City or falling off the cliff. She planned to make the old general happy and then take the opportunity to bring up the matter of returning to Chang'an.
Sitting in the guest seats below were the old general's subordinates, all of whom were congratulating the old general on his promotion and return, bringing his brothers back to the court.
"General, your prowess remains undiminished. In just over three months, you annihilated the numerous and powerful barbarians who had been lingering in the northwest desert for years. You also annihilated the tyrannical bandits of the northwest without a single survivor. I truly admire you! I offer you a toast!"
A burly man with a black beard and dark skin toasted like an old general.
"I also toast to the General!"
"I also toast to the General!"
…
All the officers and soldiers echoed and toasted.
Alcohol is not allowed in the military camp, but today is an early celebration banquet, and everyone is happy. Besides, there are no enemies at this time, so everyone drinks to their heart's content!
After three rounds of drinking, the soldiers were all tipsy and staggered back to their tents to rest. Some, unable to move, simply slumped over the tables and fell asleep. Jin Suting had already stepped down from the main seat, displaying the same quiet and refined demeanor she had worn at the Jin family banquets in her previous life.
The old general, a man with a high alcohol tolerance, was still sober at this moment. Seeing his daughter's obedient appearance, he was thankful that she had not been overwhelmed by happiness. Finally, he noticed something was wrong and while pouring his own wine, he asked casually, "Su'er, you have something to ask Daddy, right?"
Jin Suting covered her face and laughed, "It feels like three autumns since I last saw you. I haven't seen you for more than ninety autumns. I miss you so much~ Isn't it just that I want to be closer to you~"
Although the old general was delighted to hear this, he knew his daughter's personality very well. He immediately spoke earnestly, "Su'er, your uncle Yu and I decided on your marriage to the Yu family a long time ago. Even if you flee to the northwest, this marriage cannot be canceled. Besides, the war in the northwest has been settled, and I also wiped out the bandits roaming the desert. Tomorrow I will set off for Funing to discuss the marriage! This matter cannot be questioned!"
What? Wait a minute, Jin Suting's mind was a mess. Forget about the fact that General Daddy was so attentive to her back massage, yet you were able to imagine so many plot twists and taunt me for such a long time. What the hell was this marriage?
Why don't you act according to the script? No one told me about this marriage! Jin Suting suppressed the chaotic emotions in her heart.
Can you take back your thoughts about going back to Funing? I regret it. I'm still young and I want to be more romantic. I don't want to get married! !
The alpaca in Jin Suting's heart was roaring.
Seeing Jin Suting's silence, the old general sighed softly, "It's getting late. You should go back and rest early. We'll set off for Funing tomorrow."
The dinner at the main tent ended very unpleasantly, at least that's what Jin Suting thought.
After returning to her tent, Jin Suting immediately pulled Tan'er over and started to question her: "Tan'er, why didn't you tell me that I was getting married?!"
Tan'er looked innocent when she was yelled at, but she was still hesitating, wondering whether she should explain the reason.
Jin Suting saw the conflicted expression on her face.
She reassured Tan'er, "Just tell me what you have to say. I won't blame you!"
Qin'er didn't dare to speak anymore after hearing that. Last time, the lady said she wouldn't blame her, so she told the truth. As a result, she was hung up and tied to a tree for most of the day before the lady's anger subsided. She never wanted to experience that feeling of blood flowing backwards and being unable to breathe again.
Seeing her hesitating and not saying anything, Jin Ting became anxious, but she knew she couldn't use force, "Good Qin'er, tell me."
"Miss, you had just woken up at that time. I was afraid that you would be upset. After all, you were very resistant to this marriage. I acted on my own and I ask you to forgive me!" After saying that, she knelt on the ground without waiting for Jin Suting to react, as if she was at your mercy.
