"I've already made up my mind. Wait until she thinks carefully about her mistakes before coming out!" The old general glanced at Wang on the ground. "Alright, stop kneeling on the ground. It's unbecoming to look so blubbering like this!"
But Wang was not going to listen. When she thought about her daughter being wronged and locked up in the room for three whole months, her heart ached.
Back then, she was a lady from a wealthy family. She married Jin Zhuang, who was just a commander at the time, as a concubine and believed in that ridiculous love.
She thought she could live a happy and ordinary life, but she was suppressed in every way by Lu Shi, a lowly concubine who relied on her children to rise to power. She finally gave birth to Jin Xiyan, but she could never compare to Jin Zhuang's precious daughter, Jin Suting!
"Hehehehehehehe..." Wang sneered, slowly stood up from the ground, and walked out like a madman.
But what could she do? Her mother's family had fallen on hard times, and now she had no one to rely on. When her daughter, Jin Xiyan, married into the royal family and became a princess, she would be proud!
The old general glanced at Wang's back with disgust. What was she doing?
"Hey, sister, what's going on..." Lu and Jin Wade bumped into Wang head-on.
"Sister." Wang bowed slightly to Lu and was about to leave.
Mrs. Lu stopped Mrs. Wang and asked, "Why do you look so haggard? Did the master scold you?"
"Oh, sister, didn't you see that?" Wang sneered.
"Tsk tsk, it seems like I missed a good show. I really want to see my sister crying like a pear blossom in the rain, so pitiful~ The master doesn't even show some sympathy, hahahaha..." Mrs. Lu covered her mouth and laughed.
"You! Lu Xiaoxiao, don't go too far!" Wang glared at Lu with red eyes.
Mrs. Lu looked innocent and said, "Ah, how could I have gone too far?"
"Hehe, aren't you afraid that I will expose what you did back then? Others may not know what kind of person you are, but I know very well!" Wang gritted her teeth.
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Lu questioned Mrs. Wang.
Wang smiled evilly, "It means exactly what it says. Lu Xiaoxiao, I know everything you did in the past!"
Mrs. Lu suppressed the anger in her heart, and said with a slightly unnatural tone, "I don't understand what my sister is saying."
"You know whether you can understand it or not. I have something to do, so I won't chat with you anymore." Wang regained her noble appearance and walked away slowly.
"I'm just a concubine, why are you putting on airs?" Mrs. Lu cursed in a low voice.
Jin Wade frowned, but didn't ask any more questions. He never cared about the affairs of the inner house. "Mother, go in and pay your respects to father."
"Why are you going? Your father is very angry now. If I go in, I will get angry. It's really bad luck. Let's go." Mrs. Lu said and walked back.
Jin Wade was helpless with his mother, so he had to go and pay his respects to his father. Now that he was here, he hadn't seen his father since the day he returned to the capital, so today was a good time to talk to his father about the court's recruitment.
"Father." Jin Wade stepped into the hall.
"You're here." The old general motioned him to sit down.
Seeing that the old general was still frowning, Jin Wade advised: "Father, there is no need to worry too much about Su'er's affairs."
"How can I not work hard? Now Qin'er is bedridden and there is no one suitable to take care of Su'er's safety. I can't let go of my worries." The old general sighed.
It turned out to be this matter. Jin Wade thought for a moment, "What do you think of Commander Zhan?"
"Zhan Shaoang?" The old general took a sip of tea.
"Yes, Commander Zhan was born into a secret guard family. He is one of the best martial arts talents from the General's Mansion and is also familiar with Su'er. He is the most suitable candidate." Jin Wade analyzed.
"This, Su'er is willing?" the old general worried.
"Just ask Su'er when the time comes..." Before Jin Wade finished speaking, a girl's clear voice came from outside the hall.
"Daddy, Daddy!" Jin Suting was wearing a light yellow cross-collar skirt today, looking like a lively oriole. This oriole was jumping in from outside.
"Hey, Su'er, slow down." The old general reminded with a smile.
"Dad," Jin Tingting ran up to the old general and said straight to the point, "Dad, I want to learn martial arts." She had promised Tan Er yesterday that she would protect her well. She wanted to learn martial arts to keep herself safe.
The old general's first reaction was surprise. After losing his memory, he suddenly became enlightened? Before, he was unwilling to even touch a weapon, let alone practice martial arts.
So the first thing he said was questioning: "Are you serious?"
Jin Suting turned into a nodding doll: "Yes, yes, yes."
Jin Wade laughed at the side, "Father, since my sister wants to learn, let her learn."
Jin Suting glanced at Jin Wade. Is this Lu's son? He looks okay, fortunately he didn't inherit his mother's appearance.
In reality, Jin Wade was only two months younger than Jin Suting. When Jin Suting's mother was pregnant with her, the old general and Lady Lu were already pregnant. The year after Jin Suting's mother passed away, Lady Lu was welcomed into the family.
The old general still feels guilty towards Jin Suting's mother, and coupled with his feelings for his first wife, he has always been very good to Jin Suting.
But Jin Suting had heard a rumor from somewhere before, saying that the old general had forced her mother to death. Since then, Jin Suting had frequently quarreled with the old general, and her temper became more and more violent. They even had a big fight over a trivial matter.
Fortunately, after Jin Suting traveled through time, these weird problems no longer existed.
"Dad, you are very busy, please ask someone to teach me." Jin Suting looked at me with starry eyes.
This is a good opportunity to recommend Zhan Shaoang, the old general thought. "What do you think of Commander Zhan?"
"That Zhan Shaoang?" Jin Suting recalled the figure of the handsome boy in her mind, "Great, great!" He is a handsome and good teacher!
When the old general heard that Jin Suting was so happy, he immediately asked someone to call Zhan Shaoang over.
Zhan Shaoang, who was patrolling outside the mansion, was called in with a confused look on his face. He saluted respectfully to the old general, Jin Suting and Jin Wade.
"General, what are your orders?" Zhan Shaoang looked serious.
"From now on, you will be responsible for teaching Su'er martial arts and ensuring her safety around the clock." The old general waved his hand and gave the order.
"..." Zhan Shaoang sighed quietly in his heart. General, why would I need such a butcher knife to kill a chicken? The young lady's enthusiasm is short-lived. The time she can persist in practicing martial arts may be the time it takes me to rinse my mouth.
But he said something different from what he meant, "Yes, General." The general's orders could not be disobeyed, and protecting the young lady had always been his duty.
