Along the way, Jin Suting slept on the bus, urinated when she got off, and then ate and drank a feast at the post station. Aside from the slightly bumpy ride, she had spent the past two weeks like a piglet, growing fatter and fatter.
The convoy stopped at the general's mansion. Madam Lu, the second daughter Jin Xiwen, the eldest son Jin Wade, the concubine Wang, and the third daughter Jin Xiyan were all waiting eagerly for the old general at the gate of the general's mansion.
Jin Suting's drowsy head in the carriage suddenly woke up when Qin'er called out, "We're here at the General's Mansion."
Jin Suting stretched and it was time to meet her family members!
"Your Highness, we respectfully welcome you back home!" Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Wang bowed gracefully.
"Welcome back home, Daddy!" Jin Suting's brothers and sisters also saluted the old general.
The old general stepped down from the carriage with steady steps. "No need for formalities," he said to Madam Lu, "Thank you for taking care of the general's residence while I was in the northwest."
Mrs. Lu replied, "This is what I should do. Master, please don't be polite. Master, you must be exhausted from the journey. I have prepared a banquet to welcome you."
The old general laughed heartily: "Good, good, good! Su'er——"
At this moment, everyone saw a pretty girl stepping down from the carriage. Jin Suting smiled at everyone, saluted each one, and naturally took the old general's arm.
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Lu's face became very ugly, and Mrs. Wang was also secretly angry.
When did this girl become so close to the old general? Although the old general doted on her, she had never been ungrateful or disrespectful to him before. But now it was as if there had never been any rift between the father and daughter.
But she couldn't show it openly. Madam Lu quickly walked to Jin Suting's side, took her other hand, and smiled like a loving mother: "Su'er is back too. When I learned that you fell off the cliff, I was terrified. I fasted and chanted Buddhist scriptures for many days. Fortunately, the Buddha blessed Su'er and saved her life!"
Jin Suting slipped away without a trace, pulled out the hand that was being held by Lu, and replied with a smile: "Yes, I regret running to the northwest so much, I almost lost my life. But why didn't mother stop me at that time~"
Mrs. Lu was embarrassed. She said it as if I had let you go on purpose. Seeing the invisible tension between the two men, the old general coughed lightly and said, "Well, it's not good to stand here at the door. Come on in!"
As soon as the old general spoke, everyone echoed him and soon entered the general's mansion and sat at the banquet prepared by the Lu family.
Jin Suting was absent-minded the whole night, probably because she was really tired from riding in the carriage. She didn't eat much of the food, but she drank a lot of fruit wine.
She was a little tipsy by the end of the banquet, and Qin'er helped her back to the room.
In the middle of the night, Jin Suting suddenly felt a stomachache. Oh my god, will drinking too much fruit wine cause diarrhea?
She put on an outer coat and climbed out of bed to look for the toilet. Perhaps her modern thinking had not yet caught up with her, and she might not have known that there was something in the room that Tan'er had prepared for her, called a chamber pot.
Holding her stomach, she ran out of the small courtyard where she lived in pain... to find a toilet.
On this starless night, Jin Suting stared with her big, kazilan eyes and followed the smell to find the toilet.
Entering is a burst of release, "Ah - comfortable ~"
Jin Suting was putting on her pants when she heard rustling footsteps outside.
Huh? Is someone else overeating and needs to go to the toilet?
Before she could open the door to find out what was going on, she heard voices.
"On the day of the Lantern Festival, while there are a lot of people around, find a chance for me to kill that bitch."
"Is this really okay?" asked a slightly younger male voice.
"Why not? If you don't tell me and I don't tell anyone, who would know? Or is it that you're not capable enough?" Why does this voice sound familiar?
"But she's the old general's favorite daughter. Would this be..." The man seemed a little scared. Wait, the old general's favorite daughter? Isn't this referring to Jin Suting?!
"What are you afraid of if you don't have it? Is a daughter of a pheasant worthy of being the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion? How is our Wenwen inferior to that bitch in terms of talent, beauty and appearance?! When she dies, our Wenwen will be the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion, the most noble lady in Funing! How can that old man not love Wenwen?" This is Lu's voice! For someone like Jin Suting who is obsessed with voices, a voice will never be forgotten after hearing it once, not to mention that the voice of this old woman Lu is actually quite pleasant. There is no mistake, it is her! And the Wenwen she is talking about is Jin Xiwen, the second daughter of the General's Mansion!
Holy shit! She was just squatting in the toilet and she knew this big secret that she was going to be murdered! What a shitty luck!
"Okay... after this is done, don't forget what you promised me!" The young male voice spoke again.
"Don't worry, as long as you help me complete my plan, I won't treat you unfairly!" Lu smiled sinisterly, "But what a stinky place you arranged to meet me, it smells terrible."
Uh… I just used the restroom, and you have a problem with that? Jin Suting thought bitterly, not only do you want to kill me, but you also think my poop stinks! What a vicious woman!
"It seems, a little bit." The male voice said, "But at this time of night, a filthy place like the toilet is the safest."
Hehe, there's someone in here! Otherwise, I'd scare you to death if I came out...
After Lu and the owner of the male voice left, Jin Suting walked out reluctantly, her legs numb from squatting. They had been too nervous when they came just now and had squatted back down again. After all, squatting in the corner was too exciting, so one had to be careful. Especially when squatting in the corner, they were listening to a story about how to murder themselves.
Jin Suting returned to her bed and rolled around comfortably. She'd have to be wary of the Lu family from now on. Fortunately, she was still there, resourceful, cunning, intelligent, brave, wise, and brilliant, well-versed in both Chinese and Western culture, brilliant and intelligent, with a brilliant mind. She wasn't worried!
Tomorrow, she would go meet that Mr. Yu first! She couldn't wait to see her childhood sweetheart, the fool who had shielded her from wasps!
The next morning, Jin Suting got up early. It was already early October, and the Lantern Festival that Lu had mentioned was still two or three months away.
Jin Suting suddenly had a thought: "You really can tolerate my being so mean. It will take you two or three months before you kill me."
Tsk, how could I think that! Life is precious, but my life is even more valuable! I have to protect my life, protect my life. Didn’t you say you’d take advantage of the chaos during the Lantern Festival to kill me? Then I won’t go out. Oh, I won’t go out to see how you’ll take advantage of the chaos to kill me!
Jin Suting applauded her own cleverness, but she forgot that this was Fuding Country, not the 21st century, and she had no say in many things.
