I made the villain right.

After a long journey, they finally arrived in Kyoto as they wished.

As soon as he entered the city gate, Shi Jin couldn't wait to stick his head out, his bright eyes wide open with a crystal light flashing in his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, looking left and right towards the outside.

Suddenly she realized that she had a problem with her facial expression and was afraid that Zhilu would notice something, so she quickly controlled her expression and acted as if she was just coming out to take a breath.

The carriage was driving on the bustling street, with pedestrians coming and going. There were even more people watching in the busy places. Pedestrians would consciously make way for the carriage when they saw it. There were many small stalls on the roadside, and the ups and downs of the vendors' shouting could be heard.

The carriage turned left and right through the streets and alleys, and finally stopped in front of a mansion.

Zhilu had the experience from last time, so this time she took a step ahead of Shijin and set up the ladder, and Shijin helped her down.

Lin Yang led the carriage to the backyard.

Shi Jin stood at the gate of the General's Mansion, looked up, and saw the three words "General's Mansion" shining brightly. She suddenly felt a great pressure.

On the other side, after receiving the notification, Wei hurried out to greet them. When he was almost at the gate, he stopped.

He looked towards the door, feeling nervous and a little at a loss.

He fiddled with his clothes and asked Shi Sheng, "Does this look good on me?"

"Dad, this outfit looks really good on you," Shi Sheng said sincerely, but his face was numb.

After getting confirmation from Shi Sheng again, Shi Wei walked towards the door. Shi Sheng followed behind him, sighing helplessly in his heart, because this was the third time his father had asked.

If you ask me one more time, my ears will get calluses, Shi Sheng complained in his heart.

Shi Sheng looked towards the door, feeling somewhat expectant.

Shi Jin, who was standing outside the door, recalled the family setting of the original owner. Her family relationships were simple. Her mother died early. In addition to her brother and father, she also had an aunt at home. Her aunt had no children and treated her and her sister politely. Their family seemed quite harmonious, but for some reason the original owner treated her rather coldly and sometimes did not give her a good look.

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard anxious footsteps at the door. She looked and saw a group of people coming out of the mansion to greet her. Leading the way was a middle-aged man. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a strong figure and an upright posture. It was obvious that he had practiced martial arts for many years and had been on the battlefield.

When his eyes moved to his face, Shi Jin showed an incredible look on his face.

After recognizing him by eye, she knew that the middle-aged man in front of her was the original owner's biological father, but what surprised her most was that the original owner's father looked exactly like her biological father. This made her feel as if she saw hope, the kind of joy and excitement that is hard to describe when she sees her relatives in a foreign land.

Facing such an identical face, she had the illusion that her biological father was right next to her.

She gazed at her adoptive father, her beautiful eyes revealing a gentle and kind look.

Then she threw herself into his arms and gave him a warm hug, "Dad... Dad, I'm back."

It's a habitual way of addressing, and I don't know how to change it for a while. But when I suddenly feel something is wrong, I correct it immediately.

Shi Wei saw his daughter suddenly hugging him so enthusiastically, his body stiffened and he felt a little surprised.

Since he sent Jin'er to Qianshuang Pavilion, he had rarely met her and spent very little time with her. After his daughter grew up, his relationship with her was not as close as when she was a child, and it was a bit strange. Today's sudden enthusiasm surprised him, but also made him happy.

Shi Wei did not suspect anything and just thought that Shi Jin was returning home, which was why he was so happy.

After Shi Wei recovered, he patted her on the back gently: "It's good that you're back, Jin'er, it's good that you're back", smiling with a doting look in his eyes.

The father and daughter were having fun when suddenly a mournful voice came from a distance.

"Jin'er, when you came back, you only had your father in your eyes, not your brother. It's really hard for me to be looking forward to your return so early."

Upon hearing the voice, Shi Jin left his father's arms and looked towards the source of the voice. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he saw that the person who spoke had a handsome figure and a handsome face. He was a handsome young man.

The handsome man stared into her eyes, which contained a look of grievance.

Such a good-looking person must be her brother Shi Sheng. After all, her family has good genes.

She is an only child in real life, and now she has a brother who dotes on her, which feels great.

Shi Jin raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a brilliant smile, and then reached out his hand, grasped Shi Sheng's hand and shook it twice, while saying, "Hello, brother."

Shi Sheng was suddenly confused when he saw her doing this.

But when she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, which made her look very friendly. He was infected by her smile, and the corners of his mouth curved, revealing a faint smile.

Shi Sheng suddenly thought of something. The corners of his mouth froze, his smile disappeared, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

His sister looks kind and friendly, but she is actually arrogant and spoiled, not at all likable. There are all kinds of bad rumors about her, which is very bad for a girl's family reputation, and it will be difficult for her to get married in the future.

In fact, she didn't have this personality from the beginning. She was quite innocent and cute when she was a child. But after she came back from Qianshuang Pavilion, her personality changed drastically, as if she had become a different person.

His sister left home when she was young, and he, as her brother, failed to fulfill his responsibilities as an older brother and was not by her side to guide her, which has always made him feel resentful.

Thinking of this, he began to feel a little worried.

Shi Jin saw her elder brother and father, but did not see the aunt who was described in the script as having a charming appearance and enchanting figure, which made her curious.

So she looked behind her, but did not see her so-called aunt, only some maids and servants. But it did not matter, as there would be many opportunities to meet her in the future.

Shi Jin didn't know that his unintentional look back scared some people.

The maids and servants behind him felt that Shi Jin's eyes were like a piercing cold wind, which made them tremble in their hearts, break out in cold sweat, and aroused the fear deep in their hearts.

So they quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look her in the eye, as if she were some kind of monster that they should avoid if possible.

Seeing this, she expressed helplessness. This is the aura of the vicious female supporting role. It seems that there is still a long way to go to change her character.

It's not the servants' fault, it's the original owner's vicious and aggressive personality. She didn't stay at home very often, but in those few days, she always liked to use the servants around her to practice whipping with her. These servants couldn't escape her whip and had to be beaten. They were tortured badly by her. Because she was the master, everyone had complaints in their hearts, but they could only be angry in their hearts and didn't dare to show any resentment on their faces, for fear of being punished more severely by her. It was because of this incident that her reputation in Kyoto became even worse.

When filming this scene, she was forced to do several NGs because she had to swing the whip while controlling the strength so as not to hurt anyone, which left a deep impression on her.

Shi Sheng saw that she was in a daze, so he asked, "Sister, are you worried about something?"

She came to her senses and said, "It's okay, I'm just happy to be home."

"Don't stand at the door and talk, let's go in quickly." Shi Wei led her in, and then thought of something, turned around and ordered Zhou, "Tell the kitchen to make more meals that Jin'er likes. I want to welcome her tonight."

"Yes, sir." Butler Zhou immediately stepped back and gave orders.

"Sister, how have you been doing in Qianshuang Pavilion these years?" Shi Sheng started chatting with her.

"Everything is fine. The food and accommodation are good. The disciples in the pavilion treat me kindly. Uh... they are quite tolerant of me. We get along well."

She thought that no one in the pavilion liked her. She lived alone in a room, and some disciples would unconsciously avoid her during their normal practice. Everyone turned a blind eye and thought, out of sight, out of mind, so they got along well with each other.

When Sheng heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Did she get along well with the disciples in the pavilion? He didn't quite believe it, after all, he had heard of her reputation in the pavilion.

"That's great." Although Shi Sheng didn't believe it, he didn't want to offend his sister.

Shi Jin exchanged a few pleasantries with them, then returned to his room to rest, citing fatigue from the journey.

It's quite tiring for her to have to socialize as soon as she comes back.

As soon as she entered the yard and saw this villa, she was stunned and couldn't help but sigh at the financial resources of this general's mansion.

There are lush and verdant trees and exotic grasses everywhere, dotted with flower beds, bonsai and rocks; pavilions, towers, long corridors and winding pools, reflected among the green pines and cypresses, dotted in between. It is a Feng Shui treasure land, suitable for nurturing emotions.

If we were to set up a general's mansion like this when filming a movie, I wonder how much money it would cost.

Her room was clean, spacious and bright, and the furnishings were all those used in a young girl's boudoir, extremely luxurious, with brass candlesticks, low gauze curtains, an intricately carved jade-inlaid bedstead, brocade quilts and embroidered blankets... a dazzling array of items.

As expected, she is the most favored one in the family. I guess all the food, clothing and daily necessities in this yard are the best.

There was still some time before the dinner, so she planned to take a break.

……

As night fell, the general's mansion became bustling with activity and bright lights.

Before going to the dinner, Zhilu bought her a set of clothes and dressed her up as a lady from a noble family in the capital.

She was dressed in a yellow butterfly-decorated Bixia silk dress, a floor-length pink smoke gauze skirt, a white gauze draped over her body, and a golden hairpin in her hair. She looked playful, delicate and lovely. She wore no makeup, but still had green eyebrows and red lips, and was charming and attractive.

She sat at the banquet table, next to her stepfather, opposite her was her eldest brother, and sitting not far away was her aunt Zhao Xuan.

She looked at Zhao's face with curiosity.

Tsk, this face is very charming, like an oiran. His father is very lucky. But it makes her feel like his father is cheating on her.

Zhao was brought back by his father from the battlefield. She was from a remote mountain village. One day, his father was secretly wounded by the enemy and was rescued by her when he was unconscious. They stayed in the cave for another day. The girls in the village valued their reputation and would be regarded as unfaithful if they were with men outside the family before getting married. She was driven out by her family. His father saw that she was implicated because of him and that she had saved his life, so he had no choice but to marry her.

Zhao Xuan on the opposite side saw Shi Jin first looking at her, and then lost in thought. It seemed like he was planning some big move to deal with her.

Her heart skipped a beat, she thought that she had not offended her just now, she was worried so she thought about it carefully in her mind.

He thought of something, his eyes flickered, and his face turned a little pale.

Could it be that he was angry and wanted to take revenge on her because I didn't go out to greet her today?

Shi Jin came back to his senses and found that everyone at the dinner table was in a friendly mood.

Suddenly a voice sounded, breaking the silence.

"Yesterday, when I was sleeping, I forgot to close the window and caught a cold. That's why I have a severe headache today. I can't go to pick up Jin'er. I hope Jin'er won't blame me."

Zhao began to explain, with a hint of grievance in her eyes, implying: I didn't mean to not go out to pick you up, I just feel uncomfortable, don't make things difficult for me.

Shi Jin didn't expect that just by looking at her, Zhao could interpret everything in her mind and thought that she was blaming her for not going out to pick her up today.

She didn't care whether Zhao came out to pick her up or not. She was not the emperor, so she didn't need someone to come out and greet her with fanfare every time she returned home.

"Auntie is actually sick, so of course it's important to take care of her body. Jin'er doesn't care about these empty formalities." She looked calm and amiable, without a trace of displeasure.

Upon hearing this, everyone present had different opinions.

Shi Wei: My daughter has grown up, and Shi Wei looks like a grown-up.
