“Release me and escort me to the border to find my father. He is a great general and will guarantee you a lifetime of wealth and honor. Whatever amount of silver the steward gives you, my father will repay you tenfold or a hundredfold.”
One of the servants, upon hearing this, was intrigued and immediately asked, "Really?"
Before Mu Jin could answer, another servant interrupted her and angrily rebuked the servant.
"You're greedy for money and don't value your life. If we treat her like this now, she'll be tortured to death by the general once she gets to his side. We'll have the life to take this money, but not the life to spend it!"
After saying that, he revealed a lewd grin: "Your Highness, enough nonsense. Tonight, if you serve my two brothers well, it will be good for your journey. After you die, don't come looking for us. We are just following the steward's orders. After you die, if you want to seek revenge, just find the steward."
As he spoke, the two servants ran towards the direction where Mu Jin was standing.
From yesterday when Shen Qianqian was inexplicably pushed into the water until now, Mu Jin has completely exhausted her strength. She knows that she cannot escape tonight no matter what.
But she told herself that she had to escape, otherwise she would only die in humiliation and disgrace the entire general's mansion after her death.
Her father had told her that Su Yuntian had a childhood sweetheart cousin who was born into the royal family. She was kind-hearted but not a good match for him, and a marriage alliance with the imperial family would easily arouse the emperor's suspicion.
But she was determined to marry no one but Su Yuntian.
She knew that because she had no mother since she was a child, her father and brother doted on her without any limits, wishing they could present her with the moon in the sky.
At that time, she was blinded by love and only thought about herself, without caring about her father and the situation of the entire general's mansion. In the end, she got what she wanted.
Sure enough, after her marriage to Su Yuntian, the emperor issued an imperial edict transferring her father and the entire Mu family army to the border to guard the frontier, forbidding them from returning to the capital without an imperial decree.
She couldn't bear to die in disgrace, bringing shame upon the General's Mansion. She took a deep breath, turned around, and ran with her last breath.
The pitch-black night and the rugged mountain road made it impossible for her to see the road ahead. At this moment, her mind was replaying her 18 years of life: her beautiful childhood, her heart-fluttering teenage years, and her scheming and failed marriage.
Suddenly, the ground slipped from her feet, and Mu Jin's pitiful cry echoed through the valley: "Father!"
Mu Jin lost her footing and fell off the cliff.
