MTL - The Legitimate Daughter Returns: The Real Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 3 Obtaining a promise from the King of Jin

After washing herself, Su Leyun allowed her grandma to apply moisturizing balm all over her body. Sandalwood and ointment are mixed together, forming a wonderful sweetness.

She dismissed her maids and servants, changed into her pajamas, sat quietly in front of the dressing table, and wiped her face carefully in front of the bronze mirror.

The person in the mirror has yet to open his eyebrows and eyes. Although his complexion is not good, he can't hide his charming look. His face is as big as a palm and is delicate and charming. His eyebrows are crooked whether he is smiling or not.

Across the way, Su Leyun was about to go to bed when someone knocked open the window from the outside. Before she could react, a sharp dagger was pressed against her neck, and the cool touch made her shiver.

"Who are you?"

Looking at the young man in front of him who was dressed in luxurious clothes and whose shoulders were stained with blood, Su Leyun frowned slightly, but there was no hint of timidity in his eyes.

 Searching through her past life memories, she remembered that the man in front of her who was in a state of embarrassment but still had the same character was Prince Jin, the unlucky highness who was besieged by tigers at the Qiuwei hunting ground and killed on the spot.

“It’s better that you don’t know who I am. If you want to survive, just keep silent and send the people outside.”

The male voice was hoarse and cold, and his hawk-like eyes fell on Su Leyun with pressure.

Su Leyun looked calm and spoke out to fight back.

 “Kill me and it will be difficult for you to get out alive.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there were dense footsteps outside and a loud knock on the door.

“You! Have you seen a young man in black clothes? Search, search from room to room!”

The people had already chased him to the door. Su Leyun raised his eyebrows and looked at King Jin teasingly.

 King Jin's eyes darkened, and he put down the dagger in his hand. The woman in front of him seemed weak, but she could not be controlled by strong methods.

 “Tell me, what do you want?”

Su Leyun's eyebrows moved slightly, and his gaze dropped to Prince Jin's waist.

 “With the jade pendant as proof, I want you to promise me a promise.”

 “What do you want me to do?”

Jin Wang raised the corners of his lips unconsciously, this girl is quite interesting.

Most people would be scared to death at least half of their lives when they meet a robber with a knife, but it's good that she still has the energy to bargain with him here.

Took the jade pendant from his waist and stuffed it into Su Leyun's hand.

"as you wish."

Cangyu started, and the touch was delicate and cold. Although Su Leyun didn't understand jade, he also knew that this thing was worth a thousand dollars.

"make a deal."

Su Leyun put the jade pendant into his sleeve, then took out a token and held it in his hand. He winked at King Jin and asked him to hide in the inner room.

Although she doesn't want to get involved too much with King Jin, it's always good to get him a guarantee. This time she returns to the capital, what she wants to do is extremely difficult, and if she doesn't get enough guarantees, she will blame King Jin.

 A rough knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.

 “Open the door!”

“My lords, this is my lady’s boudoir. I’m afraid it’s inconvenient for you to go in!”

Mammy Zhang blocked the door and did not allow officials to enter.

“Since it’s the lady’s boudoir, it’s even more important to search it. If a thief breaks in and injures the lady, wouldn’t we be derelict in our duty?”

　　　After saying that, the officer was about to force his way in.

At this time, the door opened a small crack, and a token was handed out, with the words "Guardian General Sun Shao" engraved on it.

  The token was specially requested by my mother from my grandfather, in order to have ten thousand on the road, and the title of the general who protects the country would ensure the safety of my beloved daughter.

Mammy Zhang understood and took the token and waved it in front of the officer's eyes.

“Our lady is the granddaughter of General Sun. Her daughter’s family attaches great importance to honor and integrity, so you officials might as well do it for your convenience.”

 After speaking softly and hard, the leader hesitated slightly, gritted his teeth and left with fists in hand.

“That’s all, it’s more important to find what the thief is holding. Let’s continue searching elsewhere!”

The purpose of their trip is not very honorable. If they really cause trouble and alert the superiors, no one will be in trouble.

The sound of people faded away, and King Jin came out of the room, his sharp eyes falling on the token in Su Leyun's hand.

 “Are you the daughter of the Suhou family?”

Zhenguo General Sun Shao had only one daughter in his life, who was married to the Su family. With the help of the Sun family, the Su family rose from a poor family to the position of a marquis.

Su Waner, the beloved daughter of Mr. Su, was a well-known and talented woman in Kyoto. He had met her from a distance several times during the palace banquet, but she was clearly not the one in front of him.

Oh, yes, she should be the sister Su Ye mentioned a few days ago who was carried by the wrong person...

 “Okay, I’ll remember you.”

After saying this, Jin Wang Tathagata climbed out of the window and disappeared after a few ups and downs.

Seeing that the person was gone, Su Leyun closed the window and took out the jade pendant in his sleeve to play with again. Prince Jin was originally the most promising prince to win the title of heir, but it's a pity...

 “Miss, are you okay?”

Mammy Zhang knocked on the door outside. Su Leyun hurriedly put the jade pendant into his sleeve. Unless it was a reward, it was against the rules for ordinary people to wear a dragon-patterned pendant.

 “Come in, I’m fine.”

 Pushing the door open and coming in, Granny Zhang put the freshly cooked bird's nest porridge on the small table and asked with concern: "We've been having trouble in the middle of the night, are you scared?"

Su Leyun picked up the silver spoon and stirred the bird's nest, showing everyone's style in every move.

 “I am the daughter of the Sun family, so this setback is nothing.”

Mammy Zhang looked at Su Leyun with a face full of joy. She was really worried about her when she first received the daughter-in-law.

 She lived a poor life for more than ten years, and her eldest daughter was submissive and acted like a petty person. Such a person would probably be eaten to the bone in the Su Mansion. Aunt Zhang has tried to persuade her several times, and it seems that the young lady has listened.

 After all, half of the Sun family's blood remains in him, and this noble air is natural.

 “Miss, rest early, we have to go on a journey tomorrow.”

Mama Zhang stepped back.

Su Leyun looked at the direction King Jin was leaving and pressed his forehead.

 After her rebirth, things happened one after another, and she finally had time to sort out the events of her previous life.

In his previous life, his elder brother Su Ye was the companion of the King of Jin. His grandfather was an honest man and did not like party disputes. If he had to take sides, the one most likely to support was the King of Jin. Unfortunately, he died early and did not participate in the subsequent battle for the right to inherit the throne.

Then why are we on the wrong team?

 Who are Su Waner and the person behind her?

 Who wants to put my grandfather to death?

In this life, as long as she guarded her mother well and prevented Su Waner from having a chance to attack her, she could protect her. But what should her grandfather and brother do?

Su Leyun's thoughts were in confusion. Sometimes he was thinking about his past life, and sometimes he felt that what happened just now was strange.

The King of Jin was a legitimate prince after all, so how could he be forced into such a predicament by the government officials? Who wants to attack him? Will my brother be implicated?
