356 Plan

After Lu Ze and Lin Suisui had a simple lunch, they rested for a while in the afternoon. In the afternoon, they brought a few followers and began to stroll around the village.

This time, Lin Suisui did not wear a veiled hat, since she had never liked too cumbersome hair accessories, so she had a refreshing and clean look. However, in the eyes of the surrounding villagers, she looked a little shabby.

Moreover, Lin Suisui’s face was pretty, but she wasn’t drop-dead gorgeous. The unmarried women in the village even thought to themselves that she wasn’t even as pretty as them!

Therefore, if such a woman could become the general’s wife, why couldn’t they?

Moreover, from the information revealed by the maidservants, it seemed that this madam was not from a prominent family. Rumor had it that she was an orphan in the countryside in the past. She was just lucky enough to marry a good husband!

When this news spread, many scheming women began to feel tempted.

“You got someone to release the news so that the two of us would be surrounded by spies when we came out to stroll around?” Lu Ze lowered his voice as he whispered into Lin Suisui’s ear.

Lu Ze and Lin Suisui were extremely close, so from afar, it was as if the two of them were whispering intimately.

Lin Suisui did not reject Lu Ze’s intimacy. Instead, she turned around and smiled at Lu Ze. “Aren’t all the families here fake?

In that case, something has to be used as bait to entice them into shattering the illusion of harmonious families and create an opportunity for us to catch them.”

Since the other party showed such unrealistic harmony, there naturally had to be big enough of a bait in order to entice them.

What Fang Rui’er told Lin Suisui that day gave her an idea. The older villagers in this village were actually the toughest nut to crack.

After all, they were older. Be it in terms of knowledge or other aspects, they were more composed than those young women.

They definitely would not dream of going from rags to riches through marriage, but these young women were different.

Just as they had said, if there was a chance to enter the general’s residence, who would want to waste their lives in this remote place?

Therefore, Lin Suisui instructed Bai Guo to reveal the information about her humble background.

Now, it depended on whether anyone would walk into the trap.

“But how can you be sure that those women will take the initiative to look for you instead making an advance on me first?” The smile on Lu Ze’s face did not fade. Looking at Lin Suisui, who seemed so certain, he could not help but want to tease her.

Of course, this was also something he was puzzled about.

Wouldn’t it be easier to make an advance on him if they wanted to enter the General’s residence?

“I asked Rui’er to send out another piece of information for me.”

Lin Suisui looked at Lu Ze with a smile. “I asked her to find a suitable opportunity to tell others the reason we came here this time.

Actually, it’s not that complicated. The key is just ‘children’.”

Now, General Gu had no children to inherit the family business, and his beloved first wife had never been pregnant because of her ill health, so the couple became when they met Fang Liu, who was three months pregnant.

Because they were close previously, it seemed more plausible that the general’s wife would want to come over and rub off on Fang Liu’s luck.

“I just needed to spread the news that I wanted to find a suitable concubine for the general. Do you think they’ll look for you or me first?”

Lin Suisui looked at Lu Ze. Before he could speak, she tugged at his sleeve and ask in a low voice, “Aren’t you going into the mountain to investigate the news these few days with the excuse of hunting?

Just go ahead and leave matters in the village to me!

You’re unwilling to bring me into the mountain now. If there’s nothing to do when I’m alone in the village, how boring will that be?!”

The little girl’s soft pleading always made Lu Ze unable to refuse. He hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Then I’ll leave Su Le and the others behind to protect you.”

“Be careful. If anything goes wrong, hide if you can. Don’t fight those people head-on.”

Although Lu Ze had agreed to Lin Suisui’s decision to stay in the village to obtain information, he was still worried and continued to instruct, “Your safety is always the most important.”

“I know. I definitely won’t be reckless.” Lin Suisui nodded seriously in order to reassure Lu Ze while indicating that she definitely knew her limits.

As Lin Suisui and Lu Ze strolled around the village, just as Fang Rui’er had been worried about, women from the village quickly came looking for them.

They borrowed needles, delivered food and drinks, and asked about embroidery samples…

In less than an hour, the entire courtyard was almost fully packed.

Aunt Luo exchanged pleasantries, but didn’t reveal any useful information.

It was unknown if those women had come prepared, but even though Aunt Luo changed the topic again and again, someone always changed the topic back again.

As Fang Rui’er and Fang Liu hid in the room, they listened to the commotion outside through the window. Seeing that it was about time, Fang Rui’er put down the ball of thread in her hand and pretended to be angry as she rushed out of the room. She stood under the roof as she said to the crowd angrily, “Don’t you guys want to ask why Sister Liu came to our village?!

But what does her coming to our village have to do with you guys?

Our family is close to her, so as for why we didn’t use our relationship with her to go to Cloud Mountain City, that’s my parents’ decision. Is there a need for you guys to wallow in pity?

You guys have the nerve to say that Sister Liu is bad? Are any of you pregnant? The pot calling the kettle black!

“Sister Liu has a good relationship with her husband, so you guys don’t need to cause trouble here every day. Dream on. If Sister Liu doesn’t agree, your schemes will be useless!”
