Chapter 116 - Hmph!
Chapter 116: Hmph!
“This is clearly the best outcome!” The woman revealed the first sincere smile of joy Lin Suisui had seen in the past few days.
Although she had tried her best to restrain herself, she couldn’t hide the excitement and joy in her eyes. Even though Lin Suisui had already pressed her arm to calm her down, she still couldn’t hide the joy on her face.
“To be honest, I’m also the daughter of a good family. I don’t really want to social climb and be his concubine.” The woman coughed softly to calm herself down before telling Lin Suisui about her past.
Actually, these words had been on her mind for a long time, but she had never had the chance to tell anyone.
In the eyes of others, the fact that she was valued and doted on by the general who stabilizes the north, gave her the status of a concubine, and even made her pregnant. They felt that it was really a huge gift from the heavens for a girl like her.
But in reality, who could understand the grievance and anguish in her heart?!
At that time, she was helping her father set up a stall and caught the eye of a general passing by. He insisted on bringing her into the general’s residence. At that time, she also had fantasies. She thought that since the general was actually willing to bring her into his residence, he must have feelings for her.
Unfortunately…
All these fantasies eventually dissipated.
Being the general’s concubine wasn’t a paradise, but a living hell!
It was a living hell that threatened her life!
The woman there all smiled coquettishly, but were even more ruthless than demons!
The women who had entered the residence at about the same time as her had died before they could live for a month. To this day, she didn’t even know where they were cremated! She originally only wanted to hide in the back residence and keep a low profile. Her only desire was to stay alive, but she actually became pregnant…
It was from that day on that her treatment changed drastically.
She got her own courtyard and lived a luxurious life, with many servants at her dispense!
However, this lavish lifestyle didn’t make her relax even a little. All she could feel was the fear of walking on eggshells. She was like a frightened bird in a cage.
And it turned out that her premonition wasn’t unfounded.
There were a total of five women who were discovered to be pregnant.
No matter how cautious the general was, in the end, only she managed to save the child in her womb…
The general was heartbroken, but he didn’t dare to do anything to his wife, so in the end, he could only leave her by his side day and night and watch her 24/7.
This indeed ensured her safety, but it also completely angered the other concubines in the backyard of the general’s residence. She had become a thorn in their side!
“If I go back, I’ll be dead meat.
Moreover, An’er is a girl. From the looks of it, the general doesn’t take her seriously! If I bring her to the Emerald Cloud Nunnery, he definitely won’t object! He might even feel that I’ve relieved his burden.”
The woman sounded eager. No matter how one looked at it, she didn’t seen to be lying.
Although Lin Suisui already had an idea, she still didn’t show it on the surface. She nodded and said, “You have to think about this carefully.
This is not a decision that can be made immediately.
If you really can’t return to the General’s Mansion in the future, have you ever thought about what you and An’er will rely on to survive?! Anyway, there’s still time to think about it.”
After saying this, Lin Suisui didn’t stay any longer. After instructing the woman to rest and recuperate, she turned around and left.
Lin Suisui came out to meet Lu Ze. Soon, she left this place and returned to her own tent.
“Her attitude doesn’t seem fake, but we can’t be too anxious. What I’m thinking is that since there’s still time, we can wait and see!”
Lin Suisui told Lu Ze the news she had just obtained from the woman and then whispered her opinion.
Lu Ze didn’t object.
Lin Suisui didn’t know, but when he stood guard outside, he realized that not only the Zhu family’s fourth daughter, but the women from a few other families also seemed to be tempted.
As for Gao Xuwei…
He didn’t seem to know how to reject girls.
“Pei Qian told Gao Xuwei that having children is a big deal! It’s just that the young ladies raised in the boudoir are too delicate. They’re not as good as that woman, who isn’t from a prominent background and can endure hardships, so her child is also healthier.
I don’t think Gao Xuwei cared about anything else I said, but he believed what I said about the child.”
Lu Ze said disdainfully.
He couldn’t imagine how chaotic the northern region probably was now! With such a piece of trash here…
“We can’t help others make decisions about such things.”
Lin Suisui thought of the woman in the tent. Although she knew that these girls’ schemes wouldn’t end well, this was their choice. She couldn’t overstep her boundaries.
Lin Suisui and Lu Ze didn’t encounter any trouble on the way back this time. Soon, they approached their tent. However, before they got close, Lin Suisui heard exaggerated laughter from inside.
She frowned slightly and looked back at Lu Ze in confusion. Lu Ze gave her a reassuring look, then protected her as they lifted the curtain and walked in.
“Madam Liu, you’re back! Speak of the devil. Madam Liu, you’re really a miracle doctor. I heard that the woman in the big tent had her stomach cut open, but you still saved her?!”
The person who laughed the wildest was naturally Mrs. He, who was in the limelight in the refugee camp. As if she didn’t see Mrs. Luo’s rejection, she chuckled at Lin Suisui and said, “But to be honest, Mrs. Liu, you’re really ruthless!
If it were my daughter, she wouldn’t even dare to kill a chicken!
Women should be more demure and civilized!
Fortunately, your husband can tolerate it. If it were anyone else, who knows what he would think!”
Mrs. He spoke quickly with a smug look on her face. She even dared to glare at Lu Ze, who used to make her tremble in fear previously!
Her daughter was about to become the concubine of the general who stabilizes the north. Such a boorish hunter was beneath people of their status!
Hmph!
