The female general was reborn in the enemy's house? They all die!

Hearing such a clear and pleasant voice, Mrs. Lu's expression immediately eased a lot.

She looked up toward the door.

Rong Jin was seen wearing a pastel-colored dress, with picturesque features and a graceful figure.

Her pretty face was dazzling against the backdrop of the morning sun. As she walked, her skirt fluttered gracefully, making her look lively yet dignified.

Upon seeing this, Lu's anger subsided a lot, and the ferocious expression he had just had also disappeared.

"Jin'er!"

Mrs. Lu hurriedly asked the servants to clean up the ceramic fragments on the ground, and called Rong Jin to her side.

Rong Jin glanced at the broken teacup on the ground, held Lu's hand and said with concern: "Mother, I just came back from my aunt's place. I wonder what happened in the mansion recently that made you so angry?"

"Humph!" Mrs. Lu's eyes instantly turned cold, and she said unhappily, "It's all because of that little bitch Rong Sheng. She's so annoying!"

"Rong Sheng?" Rong Jin opened his almond-shaped eyes in surprise. "She has been poisoned for many days. If you count the days, she is already half in the coffin. What else can she do?"

"Jin'er, we've all been fooled by this bitch!" Mrs. Lu bit her lip and said angrily, "Not only did she trick Rong Wan into the manor, she also found someone to detoxify her and secretly learned martial arts. The guards with the highest martial arts skills in the Lu family are no match for her now!"

"Is what my mother said true?" Rong Jin covered his mouth in disbelief. "Did she always pretend to be weak?"

"It's absolutely true! Rong Sheng is really hard to deal with now." Mrs. Lu grabbed Rong Jin's hand and said anxiously, "Jin'er, time is running out. The Lotus Banquet of Prince Jing'an's Mansion will be held in a few days. This time Rong Sheng has promised the Marquis that she will go. If she really hooks up with the Prince of Jing'an, and the Marquis helps to bring them together, you, Jin'er, will have no chance at all!"

"Prince Jing'an..." A blush suddenly appeared on Rong Jin's fair cheeks.

At the autumn banquet at the Princess's Mansion last year, the person who truly fell in love with Liu Rufeng at first sight was actually Rong Jin.

At that time, Liu Rufeng was not as pale and thin as he is now, but he could still be considered handsome.

He was dressed in an unusually gorgeous and noble manner at the banquet, and was also very generous in giving rewards to his servants.

Rong Jin had always longed for aristocratic families like the Jing'an Palace. When she saw that Liu Rufeng was still so handsome and free and easy, she felt that marrying into the palace was the best destination for her.

But God doesn't fulfill people's wishes.

When Rong Jin learned that Rong Dexin wanted to marry Rong Sheng into Prince Jing'an's Mansion, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

She has been practicing music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was young, and cultivating her character, all for the purpose of marrying into a prominent family, but who would have thought that Rong Sheng would always be better than her.

Even the Prince of Jing'an wanted to compete with her for it, how could she not hate him!

So she and Lu poisoned the already weak Rong Sheng.

Over the course of this year, Rong Sheng's health gradually deteriorated and he eventually fell ill and died.

It seemed like it was about to succeed, but now Rong Sheng's health suddenly got better, as if he had come back from the ashes.

It's simply unbelievable.

Why is God always so blind?

Rong Jin pursed his thin lips and his clenched fists made a "crunching" sound.

Humph, no one can take away what I, Rong Jin, want!

Retracting her thoughts, Rong Jin said to Lu with a firm look in her eyes: "Mother, don't worry, your daughter will definitely not let her succeed!"

"Jin'er not only wants to become the Crown Prince's consort and take Rong Wan back home, but she also wants to make Rong Sheng the laughing stock of all the people in the capital!"

Seeing that Rong Jin was so confident of victory, Lu felt reassured.

She immediately dismissed the servants, took out an exquisite red gold, pearl and jade headdress from the secret compartment of the box behind her, and handed it to Rong Sheng.

"Jin'er, these jewels are very rare. Wear them all at the Lotus Banquet. With your beauty, you will surely outshine all the other beauties!" Mrs. Lu said with great joy. "Prince Jing'an will surely notice you and be fascinated by your beauty."

Rong Jin looked at the exquisite jewelry and couldn't help but exclaimed with joy: "Mother, I didn't know you had such precious jewelry!"

Mrs. Lu quickly signaled Rong Jin to keep her voice down, and then lowered her voice and said, "These jewels were the dowry that Princess Qingya brought back from Western Chu. There is only one set. Now they are all in my hands. Rong Sheng, that idiot, naturally doesn't know about it. You should also keep it secret and never let anyone else know!"

After hearing this, Rong Jin immediately retracted his surprised expression, nodded in understanding, took the jewelry, and left Fengxian Hall happily.

In the evening, a snow-white dove flew over Mingyuexuan.

Rong Sheng stood in the yard, staring in a daze at the direction where the pigeon flew away.

At this time, the sunset glow was in the sky, gradually dyeing the sky into a gorgeous fiery red, which was very dazzling.

After a long time, Rong Sheng retracted his gaze and lowered his head again to carefully look at the note brought by the pigeon in his hand.

These days, Wu Lin arranged several people to take turns guarding around Prince Jing'an's Mansion.

It was discovered that a person who had little to do with Prince Jing'an was frequently entering and leaving the palace.

After several inquiries and tracking, they discovered that the man was Cui Ji, the younger brother of Cui Shun, the head manager of Wanshun Trading Company in the capital.

The note said that Cui Ji came to the palace many times, and each time he went in through the back door.

Rong Sheng raised his head and looked into the distance, silently searching for the memories of his previous life.

As for Wanshun Trading Company, she remembered that it was one of the four largest trading companies in Beijing a few years ago.

Its scale is second only to the leading Gu's firm.

And at first Cui Shun was just a small trader who ran a small tavern with his younger brother Cui Ji.

Later, perhaps because running a tavern was a bit hard and he had accumulated some money, he started to change his career and do maritime business.

At that time, sea transportation had just been opened. The two brothers saw this opportunity and went through great pains to open up the channel.

Finally, a lot of gold, silver, jade, jewelry, and silks were purchased from the South China Sea countries by sea.

These exotic treasures were so coveted by many wealthy ladies in the capital that they were willing to spend huge sums of money to buy them.

Almost overnight, the Cui brothers made a fortune and gradually established the current Wanshun Company.

Now their main business is jewelry, and they also have some silk business.

The note also said that Cui Ji would occasionally deliver some wooden boxes to Prince Jing'an's mansion by horse-drawn carriage, which appeared to be some silk jewelry.

Rong Sheng couldn't help but frown when he saw this. Even if the Jing'an Palace was wealthy, they didn't have to buy so many jewelry and fabrics every few days, right?

And according to the memory of the previous life, there were not so many female relatives in Prince Jing'an's Mansion.

Thinking of this, Rong Sheng withdrew his thoughts and tore the note to pieces.

I thought that maybe the Prince Jing'an's Mansion was hiding some unspeakable secret, so I had to go to this banquet.

————

Time flies, and soon it is the day of the Lotus Banquet.

As soon as the sky got light, Rong Jin started asking Qiutou to help him wash and dress.

In order to make herself look more pitiful, she even skipped breakfast.

Finally, she even put on the entire set of red gold headwear that Lu had given her.

After all this, Rong Jin felt dizzy, but she still had to force a smile on her face, because there was another person, Rong Sheng, who would be riding in the same carriage with her at the banquet.

The time had come. Just as Rong Jin, wearing a fiery red robe, was about to get on the carriage, his peripheral vision suddenly caught a glimpse of Rong Sheng walking towards him with Liu Ling not far away.

Unlike Rong Jin, who was wearing jewels, Rong Sheng was wearing a goose yellow dress today and a lotus-shaped pearl-studded hairpin on her head. She looked beautiful and dignified, yet still lively and playful like a girl.

A gust of warm breeze blew across her face, and the black hair on her temples fluttered in the wind, making Rong Sheng's jade-like face even more fresh and pleasant, which was truly pleasing to the eyes.

Rong Jin stared at Rong Sheng who was getting closer and closer, and thought that Prince Jing'an would never be interested in her since she was dressed so plainly!

"Qiu Tao, let's get in the car."

After Rong Jin sat down, Rong Sheng and Liu Ling also came to the carriage and sat opposite Rong Jin.

Rong Jin looked up and found that Rong Sheng's complexion was rosy now, and there was no sign of poisoning. She couldn't help but said in a sarcastic tone: "I wonder what kind of magic medicine sister used recently to bring her back to life. Can you tell me about it?"

"you!"

When Liu Ling heard the word "death", she felt furious and couldn't help but step forward to argue.

Rong Sheng turned around and held Liu Ling's shoulders, signaling her not to get excited. Then he calmly replied, "Sister, you are joking. There is no magic medicine. It's just that after Rong Wan went to the manor, this princess was in a good mood, ate well, slept well, and her health improved."

"Now that I think about it, I really have to thank Sister Wan'er for giving me the opportunity to go to Jing'an Palace and meet the prince."
