I give the credit to Lu Zhenzhen; the general will surely think highly of her. Old Lady knows I intend to promote Lu Zhenzhen and must be grateful to me.
The general said, "What if the Earth Tribe joins forces with other tribes to cause trouble?"
"The Earth Tribe has grievances with other tribes. If they unite, there must be conditions. We can send someone to investigate and clarify those conditions. If we can disrupt their dealings and incite internal conflict, we can win without fighting."
The general's eyes lit up: "Indeed, very insightful."
He looked at Lu Zhenzhen with newfound respect: "I didn't expect Miss Lu to have such abilities."
Lu Zhenzhen shot me a glare and smiled, saying, "I usually enjoy reading military books when I have nothing else to do. I hope I didn't embarrass the general."
The general waved his hand: "No, Miss Lu has great insight."
As we left Old Lady's courtyard, Lu Zhenzhen asked me with a frown, "Are you trying to steal my thunder?"
I replied nervously, "I wouldn't dare, I just thought you looked particularly beautiful just now, like someone out of a painting."
I deliberately changed the subject. I didn't want to talk to her much.
She called me lowly while she considered herself noble. Let her be noble then. As long as I can keep my own life safe, that's all that matters.
Lu Zhenzhen said, "When I saw the general just now, he seemed particularly familiar, like I've seen him somewhere before."
I looked at her in confusion.
She leaned closer and stared at my face for a while.
I felt a chill run down my spine. What if she discovered something?
I lowered my head, not daring to look at her.
She patted my shoulder and said, "You're quite pretty; why do you make yourself look so dirty?"
Pretty?
Am I beautiful?
I deliberately made myself look disheveled, just to avoid drawing attention to myself.
I don't want to be sold once, and then sold a second time.
I intentionally spoke in a rough voice, "Miss, I am just a servant and cannot dress too flamboyantly."
Lu Zhenzhen said, "Let me give you a hairpin; it's a delicate pink and would suit you well."
Delicate pink is our secret signal.
Does she still want to tempt me further?
I couldn't afford to let my guard down.
I shook my head and said, "I cannot accept the Miss's gift; it is against the rules."
Lu Zhenzhen seemed a bit angry: "You are my maid; if I say it's okay, then it's okay."
I could no longer refuse.
I could only obediently say, "Yes."
Lu Zhenzhen was in a good mood, humming a little tune as she walked back.
Halfway there, she asked me, "Do you know why I wanted you to come with me to meet the guests?"
I shook my head.
She said, "Because you have good judgment, unlike Azure Peach, who is clumsy."
I had no doubt about this reason.
Azure Peach is a born servant and is utterly loyal to her.
However, Azure Peach does not handle situations as well as I do.
Old Lady gently waved at Lu Zhenzhen and said, "Zhenzhen, come here."
I quickly picked up the fan and handed it to Lu Zhenzhen.
She took the fan but did not walk over to Old Lady; instead, she went directly to Old Lady's side and held the old woman's hand affectionately: "Grandmother, you don't know; I don't like him at all."
"He looks fierce and doesn't understand how to cherish delicate things."
The Old Lady said helplessly, "The General is a rough man and won't pamper you like those young masters from noble families, but he has his own merits."
"You don't understand. Once you marry him, you'll know," she added.
Lu Zhenzhen pouted and reluctantly replied, "Anyway, I don't like him."
She continued to sulk, saying, "I never agreed to this marriage. He is too rude; I don't want to marry him. The person I want to marry must be a refined young master from a noble family."
The Old Lady responded, "The General is humble and polite; those young masters are just weak scholars. How can they compare to the General?"
Lu Zhenzhen asked, "Grandmother, why are you defending him?"
The Old Lady replied, "I see you've grown some wings."
Seeing that the Old Lady was angry, Lu Zhenzhen didn't dare to say more. She covered her head and said, "I have a headache; I'm going to leave now."
The Old Lady waved her hand helplessly and said, "Go on."
