Quick Transmigration: Striving Every Day to Overcome Tribulation

Lin Jianxin was puzzled when she noticed that Su Su hadn't arrived yet. Su Su would usually be there by now. Moreover, she had specifically gone to visit Su Su today, only to be turned away, which only added to her confusion.

She sat there quietly, waiting for Su Su to arrive, but as time passed, Su Su still did not appear.

Lin Jianxin's mood gradually became irritable, but she realized that her emotions were not right, so she suppressed them.

Just then, her maidservant returned, covering her face, without any food in her hand.

Lin Jianxin felt somewhat displeased upon seeing this scene.

She was very hungry and had hoped that the maid would bring back food, but she didn't expect the maid to be so inconsiderate.

The maid couldn't help but complain to Lin Jianxin, "Miss, that Aunt Liu is too much! She knew we were waiting for this meal, but she deliberately intercepted it. We haven't had a proper meal for days. How can we go on like this?"

Lin Jianxin slightly raised her eyes, a hint of displeasure flashing in them, but she quickly regained her haughty demeanor and lightly reprimanded, "Don't talk nonsense. Aunt Liu is an elder; if she wants to eat, she can eat. How can we complain?"

The maid bit her lip, her face full of grievance, but she dared not utter another word.

Lin Jianxin remained silent for a moment, but still maintained her noble demeanor, as if the world's troubles could not touch her in the slightest.

She slightly raised her chin, as if she was thinking about something, but the words she hadn't finished speaking were still hanging in mid-air, making it impossible to figure out what she was planning.

Lin Jianxin stood by the window, and after a moment of contemplation, her eyes gradually became firm.

She turned around and said to the maid, "Go and find everything we can still eat in our room, so we can have something to eat first."

The maid hesitated for a moment, then said, "Miss, there's nothing left to eat in our room."

Lin Jianxin raised her chin slightly and said, "It's better to look for something than to go hungry."

The maid had no choice but to search for it.

Lin Jianxin paced back and forth in the room, pondering a solution.

At the same time, she also thought of Su Su.

Su Su's absence today made her feel uneasy and annoyed. Given Su Su's reputation, she was the only one who could be friends with her.

She decided to wait until Su Su arrived and then ask her what had happened.

Perhaps Su Su could offer her some advice or provide her with some support.

Lin Jianxin picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and tried to alleviate the churning hunger. The slightly bitter tea spread in her mouth, but it did nothing to ease her inner turmoil.

At this moment, a servant hurried over and respectfully invited Lin Jianxin to the Marquis's study.

Lin Jianxin's eyes lit up instantly, and an overwhelming joy welled up in her heart.

She quickly put down her teacup, stood up, straightened her clothes, and assumed that her father, the Marquis, was concerned about her.

However, the moment she stepped into the Marquis's study, she was met with a heavy blow.

Before she could react, her father slapped her hard across the face. The crisp sound of the slap echoed in the quiet study, like a thunderclap in Lin Jianxin's ears.

She felt a burning pain on her face, her head was buzzing, and she was completely stunned by the sudden slap.

Her eyes widened in disbelief, and tears welled up instantly.

The Marquis glared at her, his eyes burning with fury, and warned her sternly, "You better behave yourself! Don't cause any more trouble. Don't think you can hide your little schemes so well; I don't need a reason to kill you."

Lin Jianxin stood there blankly, covering her slapped cheek, tears welling up in her eyes, but stubbornly refusing to fall.

Her body trembled slightly, her heart filled with grievance and confusion.

Lin Jianxin shook her head, her face full of grievance and innocence, urgently saying that she hadn't done it. Her eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment, not understanding why her father would make such an accusation.

"Father, I really didn't do any of those things you mentioned. I've always been dutiful and have never done anything inappropriate." Lin Jianxin's voice trembled even more, and the hint of a sob in her voice became more and more obvious.

The Marquis frowned, his anger undiminished. "Su Su, the legitimate daughter of Minister Su. Do you understand? Your mother has raised you to be utterly disgraceful, not at all like a legitimate daughter. Look at you, always putting on an aloof and indifferent act, but secretly you're using people as pawns. Do you think no one can see through you? If they don't act, fine, but once they do, you'll be in deep trouble sooner or later."

Lin Jianxin's face grew even paler, her lips trembled slightly, she wanted to defend herself, but didn't know where to begin.

She never imagined that she was seen this way in her father's eyes. She always thought that her actions were correct and that she was doing them to maintain her dignity and status.

"Father, I really didn't. I've always treated Miss Su Su with sincerity and never had any intention of taking advantage of her." Lin Jianxin's eyes were full of sincerity, hoping her father could believe her.

Looking at Lin Jianxin's stubborn appearance, the Marquis's anger gradually subsided.

He sighed and said, "Fine, you'd better watch yourself. Think more about the consequences of your actions in the future, and don't be so willful and reckless anymore."

After saying this, the Marquis turned and left the study.

Lin Jianxin stood there alone, tears finally streaming down her face. She felt incredibly wronged and heartbroken; she couldn't understand why her father would misunderstand her like this.

Lin Jianxin returned to her room crying, collapsed onto the bed, and let her tears flow freely. Her heart was filled with grievance and pain, as if her whole world had collapsed. After crying herself to sleep, she fell asleep without realizing it, but when she woke up, the hunger was still there, haunting her.

Just then, a maid rushed in to report that Young Master Jia Xiu had arrived.

Last night, Young Master Jia Xiu received a message informing him that Lin Jianxin had been wronged, so he arranged to meet her early this morning to comfort her.

Lin Jianxin was slightly taken aback, and a complex emotion welled up in her heart.

She knew that Jia Xiu was Su Su's fiancé, but she also had her own fiancé, the young general of the General's Mansion, but they didn't see each other often.

Moreover, she doesn't like people who are too cruel.

In her memory, the young general always carried a murderous aura that made people fear him.

Young Master Jia was more upright and gentle, and he always appeared when she needed him most, offering her comfort and support.

Lin Jianxin slowly got up, straightened her clothes and hair, and tried her best to make herself look less disheveled.

She felt uneasy, unsure how to face Jia Xiu.

But she longed to see him, to receive a sliver of warmth from him.

He hurriedly went out, his steps quick, as if his heart was filled with endless urgency.

Her skirt swayed with her steps, like a blooming flower.

Her eyes shone with anticipation—anticipation for Jia Xiu, and anticipation for warmth and comfort.
