Chapter 110: Delusion

The maidservants who served the pregnant women were very smart.

From a certain perspective, their fates were closely intertwined with the woman’s.

Although they might not have a good life just because the woman did, if the woman fell out of favor, none of them would have a good time either!

Therefore, when they heard Lin Suisui say that there was still hope for the woman, everyone immediately began to cooperate with Lin Suisui. They talked about how difficult life was for a child without a mother…

It was unknown if their words had aroused her maternal instinct to protect her child, but in short, the woman perked up again. Although she couldn’t give a clear answer to Lin Suisui and the others’ questions, she could at least respond.

“It looks like she’s getting better. Continue to use snow water to lower her temperature every hour.

From time to time, talk to her and tell her about the child’s current condition! If possible, it’s best if you girls can carry the child over and place her beside her from time to time.

Mothers always have a connection with their children. With the child around, the child could more or less boost her morale and help her persevere!

As long as she can survive this, she’ll recover much faster.”

Lin Suisui called out Madam Li, who was beside the woman. Lin Suisui stood at the entrance as she whispered some things for Madam Li to take note of.

Madam Li knew the priority of the matter at this moment, so she naturally didn’t dare to be negligent. She nodded repeatedly and even asked Lin Suisui some other things that she should pay attention to. After receiving Lin Suisui’s guarantee that she would definitely come over to check on the woman’s condition, she finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Madam Li bowed to Lin Suisui deeply. Madam Liu’s kindness not only saved the mother and daughter, but also the servants who had been serving them.

The servants knew the general’s temper very well. Even if the general had already expressed his disappointment and dissatisfaction this time, if anything bad happened to the woman, none of them would be able to escape death.

After bidding farewell to Madam Li, Lin Suisui walked out and met up with Lu Ze, who was waiting outside. She had only taken a few steps when she saw a man dressed as a servant rushing over to greet them.

“General Gao invited us over?” After hearing the servant’s words, Lin Suisui couldn’t help but frown and ask curiously.

This request was really too unexpected!

She didn’t know General Gao well. Her only contact with him was yesterday, when she had spoken to him while she was treating the woman.

Could it be that he was looking for her to ask about the woman’s condition?!

That didn’t seem likely.

Whether it was before or after the incident last night or when she came over to check on the woman today, from what she had seen with her own eyes and from the information revealed by the maidservants who served the woman, General Gao no longer had the patience and affection he previously had for the woman.

To put it bluntly, in General Gao’s eyes, the woman was already no different from a dead person.

Therefore, why did General Gao call them over at this time?!

“Our general wants to invite you over to talk, alone. He doesn’t want your husband to accompany you!

“Please follow me quickly. Don’t make our general wait too long.”

The servant stood with his head lowered. His attitude was so respectful that no one could find anything wrong with it, but the arrogant and threatening tone of his words couldn’t be concealed!

Lin Suisui frowned and rejected the invitation without hesitation. “Everyone, including Mr. Pei, knows that my husband and I go everywhere together.”

If my husband can’t go with me, then I can only reject your general’s invitation!”

“Do you know who our general is?!” The manservant clearly didn’t expect Lin Suisui to reject his invitation so bluntly. He couldn’t help but fly into a rage. “In the north, it would be a great honor if you could obtain our general’s invitation. You actually don’t appreciate it. Do you know the consequences of angering our general?!”

“It’s only right for me to go with my husband. If you guy can’t accept it, I naturally can’t go alone.”

Lin Suisui wasn’t frightened by this servant at all. She insisted that she had to go with Lu Ze.

When the servant saw that Lin Suisui and Lu Ze were really about to turn around and leave, he became anxious and reached out to grab Lin Suisui, who was protected by Lu Ze.

It happened very quickly. Lin Suisui didn’t get to see anything before Lu Ze pressed her into his arms. Then, she heard a sickening crack, followed by an extremely miserable scream…

“What’s going on?!” The first one to rush over was Pei Qian, who lived not far away.

Pei Qian walked over and immediately recognized the manservant who had been stepped on by Lu Ze. It was Shun Yi, who was Gao Xuwei’s servant.

His expression turned cold as he quickly looked at Lu Ze. “Since he’s a traitor, leave him to me!”

“I’m not a traitor. I’m…” Shun Yi was shocked by Pei Qian’s words. Just as he was about to explain, Qian He quickly grabbed his chin. “No traitor will admit to being a traitor!

“Don’t worry, after the interrogation, you’ll remember your true identity!”

“You two must have been frightened today. When this matter is settled, I’ll think of a way to reward you two! It’s fine now. You two can go back first!”

Pei Qian watched as Qian He detained Shun Yi, who was struggling desperately, before looking at Lu Ze and Lin Suisui.

Lin Suisui and the others saw through Pei Qian’s plan and naturally didn’t want to thwart his plan. They followed Pei Qian’s instructions and left quickly.

Not long after Shun Yi was arrested, Gao Xuwei, who had received the news, rushed over angrily to argue with Pei Qian.

Pei Qian seemed to expect that Gao Xuwei would come over. He was in no hurry to go back and stood there waiting for him.

Upon seeing Gao Xuwei come over, Pei Qian didn’t give him a chance to flare up. He turned around with his hands behind his back and asked Gao Xuwei aloofly, “Uncle, you’ve been in charge of the northern military affairs for many years. Have you heard of the shaman Wolf Guards of the northern barbarians?”
