"I never meant to hurt you. I've always wanted to protect you, but I still can't be with you."
——Yoo Seung-ho

Su'er, do you really think so?" The old general's voice trembled, and he was a little moved.
Of course I don’t think so…
Perhaps only the original owner could empathize with her. She couldn't do it, but Jin Suting truly felt Lu Xiaoxiao's several seemingly vague assassinations. She didn't know what kind of grievances the original owner had suffered in the past.
The fact that he has survived until now is either because he is strong and tenacious or because the old general did not allow Lu Xiaoxiao to stir up trouble.
After coming out of the ancestral hall, Jin Suting went into the kitchen to get busy. It was her birthday, so she wanted to make a cake for herself.
Moreover, Helan Ruizhe told her yesterday that she didn't have to study today because it was her birthday, but she still had to do horse stance for an hour.
The best news is that Zhan Shaoang’s case has been closed.
Lu Mingxian ran to the general's mansion to find her early in the morning and told her the good news.
It is said that someone turned himself in, and Ren's confession was that he asked Zhan Shaoang to kill someone, but he took the money and ran away.
The term "dishonest person" also makes sense. Some people in South Street also said that they saw a burly man who surrendered himself on May 29th.
When Yu Xiangyuan saw the burly man, he kicked and beat him fiercely, completely disregarding his usual image.
The person who was beaten knew that he had made a huge mistake, so he lowered his head and dared not speak.
At that time, many people gathered at the gate of Shuntian Prefecture to watch the show. All the rumors were refuted and no one discussed whether Jin Suting was the murderer.
This should have been a happy thing, as the trouble that had been weighing on her heart for so long was finally resolved. However, she was not particularly happy. Instead, she sympathized with Master Yu Xiangyuan from the bottom of her heart. It was really a pity that her only son was killed because of this dispute.
"Lord Lu, would you like to stay for dinner?" Jin Suting and Lu Mingxian are quite close friends. She likes making friends, and one more friend means one more way out!
"What day is today?" Lu Mingxian was a little curious when he saw Jin Suting cooking something he had never seen before.
Cao Cao had been listening to their conversation and interrupted them, saying, "Today is my young lady's seventeenth birthday."
Lu Mingxian understood, but felt it was inappropriate: "I haven't prepared a gift yet. I'm really sorry."
Xiao Hei: "It's okay, just turn left and you'll reach West Street. There are a lot of rouge and powder shops there, just buy some and come back."
Jin Suting told him to shut up and then said to Lu Mingxian, "Don't listen to his nonsense. No gifts are necessary. My dad likes a lively atmosphere. The more people there are, the happier he is."
Jin Suting didn't really like the crowds, so she invited Yu Qinglan, Shi Qingmiao and Yu Chenghao to come over for dinner in the evening. More people meant more pairs of chopsticks.
"Then I'd rather obey your command." Lu Mingxian bowed. He had been with Jin Suting for some time, but he still couldn't get along with her naturally and generously. Jin Suting looked at his serious look and suddenly wanted to laugh.

Palace.
Yu Qinglan received an invitation from Jin Suting a few days ago, saying that she would have dinner at the general's mansion on the evening of June 15th.
She thought there was nothing good about going, but Helan Yinsheng found out and suggested that she go, and he wanted to go too.
She was a little unhappy. Being pregnant made her unhappy. Today she heard that Zhan Shaoang's case had been solved.
At lunch, the two ate at the same table. Helan Yinsheng reminded her not to eat too greasy food, otherwise she would get bloated and vomit.
Yu Qinglan couldn't bear it any longer, so she casually mentioned it while eating: "I heard that the murderer of Zhan Shaoang has been found?"
Helan Yinsheng paused for a moment, then took another mouthful of rice. "You're so well-informed! You just solved the case this morning."
Yu Qinglan smiled sarcastically: "Isn't the prince more informed than me? When did he even find a scapegoat?"
"I'm afraid they'll find out about the palace." Helan Yinsheng said lightly, picking up a piece of lettuce for Yu Qinglan and saying, "Eat some of this."
Yu Qinglan put down his chopsticks, not even taking a few bites of the rice in his bowl. "There's no way they can find out about the palace. I've done everything so cleanly. There haven't been any clues for all these days!"
Who was he doing this for? It was because of Jin Suting. Originally, this matter could have been left to ferment and ignored, and no one would have been able to find out, but he had to go to the trouble of finding a scapegoat.
"You were the one who placed the jade pendant at the crime scene, right?" Helan Yinsheng asked suddenly. The scene was cleaned up very cleanly. The jade pendant was stolen by Zhan Shaoang from Jin Suting and was placed in the cabinet in his study. It suddenly disappeared a few days ago.
The way he was about to get angry was a bit scary. Yu Qinglan wanted to deny it outright, but then she thought about how she was pregnant and Helan Yinsheng wouldn't do anything to her. "So what if it was me? If I didn't do this, who can guarantee that Shuntian Prefecture wouldn't really find out about me?"
Helan Yinsheng suddenly stood up and quickly inserted a thin and long silver needle into her shoulder.
Yu Qinglan felt pain, she covered her shoulder with her hands, her expression full of disbelief, "Helan Yinsheng, I'm still pregnant!"
He smiled coldly and leaned over to look at Yu Qinglan. "This won't affect the fetus, but it will cause you pain for a while."
He stroked Yu Qinglan's sweaty forehead and smiled gently, his breath hitting her lashes as she stared. He tucked the unruly hair behind her ear and said, "I thought you were obedient. Don't do anything that I don't like again, otherwise, do you think I care about that thing in my belly?"
