Spending so much time with Suizi, if I didn't learn anything else, at least I figured out her strategy for intrigue.
Suizi almost always had to build up a proper case before she made a major move.
A pre-war manifesto to boast our might and highlight the enemy's confusion.
What she wanted was a valid reason for her act.
She had this way of making people feel guilty for their downfall, like she was doing them a favor even when she was setting them up.
When Suizi talked about all this with him, all she wanted was for Yu Jingting to understand the rationale behind her next scheme.
"Do you know why Second Uncle is so hostile towards us?" Yu Jingting asked and answered himself, "Because he has a decade-old injury on his thigh, and it's somehow related to us."
Suizi covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes wide in surprise as she stared at Yu Jingting's thin lips, her expression clearly asking, Are you going to bite him there?!
Yu Jingting was grossed out by her leap in thoughts.
