Chapter 23 Divorce is a matter of time

Song Yanxi paused while preparing the medicine and said calmly, "It's only a matter of time before I divorce him, but now is not the time yet."

She was not surprised that Mo Jinchuan knew this.

Besides, she had intended to cling to his lap after the divorce, so naturally she had no intention of hiding it from him.

Mo Jinchuan's eyes darkened, and he said, "If Madam needs it, whether it's a divorce or something else, I can help."

Song Yanxi declined politely, "I won't bother you, Your Highness."

"No trouble."

Hearing that Mo Jinchuan's tone was serious and not a joke, Song Yanxi raised her eyes and looked at him, saying calmly: "I appreciate your kindness, Your Highness, but I hope Your Highness will not interfere in my divorce with the general for the time being.

When the time comes, I will naturally ask the prince for help."

She and Lin Tingfeng have a deep blood feud, and every incident in the past must be carefully settled.

There are also He and Lin Tingxuan, mother and daughter.

She would not be able to swallow this anger unless she made them pay back a thousandfold for the grudges of past and present lives.

Wouldn't it be too easy for them to get a divorce now?

Mo Jinchuan stared into her eyes for a while, as if trying to confirm something.

After a while, he smiled and said, "I'll listen to you."

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Song Yanxi always felt that besides the deep helplessness in his words, there seemed to be a hint of doting when an elder talks to a younger person.

If it weren't for the difference in status, she really wanted to remind His Royal Highness Prince Jin.

In terms of seniority, he should call her aunt.

At the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion, Zhuang Shihan looked at her reflection on the door and said disappointedly, "Go back. I won't see you."

After waiting outside for an hour, Lin Tingfeng finally heard the voice of his beloved and became excited.

He knocked on the door quickly and said anxiously, "Shihan, please open the door and let me in. We can talk slowly."

"What? Is there anything else we can talk about?"

Zhuang Shihan's voice was filled with tears as she asked, "Lin Tingfeng, have you forgotten what you promised me at the border?"

Lin Tingfeng said with annoyance, "Shihan, don't cry. This is all mother's fault. She couldn't even handle a woman in the inner chamber. She even promised to help us clear the obstacles."

As soon as he finished speaking, the closed door in front of him was pulled open.

Looking at the soaked Lin Tingfeng, Zhuang Shihan's eyes flashed with heartache, and she lowered her voice and asked, "What do you mean by disposal? Are you planning to kill Song Yanxi?"

Lin Tingfeng's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "If she were alive, how could she agree to let me marry you as my wife?"

Besides, the two had discussed this matter when they were at the border.

Understanding his gaze, Zhuang Shihan quickly distanced herself from the matter, "I just wanted her to know what was good for her and give up her position. I never intended to take her life."

As she spoke, anger could not help but show in her eyes, "A woman without her husband's love is already pitiful, how could you be so cruel?"

The rain gradually subsided. Afraid that their voices would be heard, Lin Tingfeng hurriedly pulled Zhuang Shihan inside.

As they walked, he comforted her, "You don't need to worry about this matter. With your husband here, the Song family will never surpass you in the future. Just raise her like a kitten or puppy in your house."

Zhuang Shihan's expression suddenly changed, and her voice was sharp, "Aren't you going to divorce her?"

"Of course I want a divorce!" Lin Tingfeng said decisively, his eyes filled with disgust. "Mother said she's had an affair with another man. How can a fickle woman like her be worthy of being the principal wife of my general's mansion?"

As he spoke, he changed the subject and said, "Only a woman with a kind heart and courage like you can be the wife of this general."

A hint of shyness appeared on Zhuang Shihan's face. Just as she was about to speak, she caught a glimpse of the situation in the yard and her expression suddenly changed.

She quickly broke free from Lin Tingfeng's hand and said anxiously, "Quick, climb out the window!"

The sound of rain outside grew heavier, drowning out the sound of the approaching footsteps. Lin Tingfeng thought she was embarrassed and raised his hand to swear, "I, Lin Tingfeng, swear to heaven that I will love my wife Shihan the most in this life and will never leave her.

If you break this oath, I will have no descendants and my entire family will die a miserable death."

Zhuang Shihan's face turned visibly paler, and she didn't look moved at all by his oath.

She pushed Lin Tingfeng hard and said angrily, "Go!"

Lin Tingfeng staggered back two steps and was about to say something when he was thrown to the ground by several burly men.

My cheek scraped against the ground, and there was a burning pain.

He turned his head with great effort and blurted out, "How dare this blind person hit this general?"

As soon as the words fell, a burst of punches and kicks began.

Amid the sound of the pouring rain, he could vaguely hear angry voices.

"I'm going to hit you!"

Last night, in a hurry, she forgot to bring an umbrella and got caught in the rain. When Song Yanxi got home, she had a fever. She took some medicine and then fell into a deep sleep.

I never thought that I would sleep until the evening, and when I woke up I found that the roof of the general's mansion was about to collapse.

"Miss, you didn't see it. It's so lively in the mansion today, it's almost as lively as the New Year." Zhuzhi laughed so hard that her hands were shaking.

Song Yanxi originally felt weak and powerless, but upon hearing these words, she immediately became energetic.

"This morning, just as the young lady had gone to bed, the general was left at the back door, covered in wounds. If it weren't for the dog Da Huang, who was tied to the door and kept barking, he would probably have died... No one would have known what had happened to him."

As Zhuzhi spoke, his fingers nimbly moved through Song Yanxi's hair, and soon he had combed it into a Chaoyun bun, which was simple, generous and exquisite.

Zhu Yu picked out a white jade hairpin and put it on her head, silently adding, "The old lady had just started acupuncture when she fainted again out of fright. I heard from the people at Fushou Hall that Doctor Lu prescribed a prescription to prevent and treat stroke and asked someone to get the medicine."

"Are you injured so badly?" Song Yanxi looked in the mirror and put on a lip balm that didn't make her look pale.

If she had known there would be such a fun thing to watch, why would she still sleep?

Zhuzhi and Zhuyu nodded frantically.

"I heard his face was disfigured."

"It seems like one of the leg bones is broken."

Listening to the two people's exaggerated statements, Song Yanxi smiled and shook her head, then stood up and said, "Let's go, follow me to see the general."

*

"What is she doing here? Get out of here!" Lin Tingfeng was so angry that he didn't want to see her face at all.

If Song Yanxi hadn't been scheming and had died obediently, he and Shihan would have entered the palace yesterday and asked for a marriage as a matter of course.

Even if Duke Jingguo was dissatisfied, as his wife, she would not behave like she did last night. She would not listen to his explanation at all and would even want to beat him to death.

It’s all that bitch Song Yanxi’s fault!

Outside the door, Song Yanxi listened to the sounds of smashing and smashing coming from the inner room. She suppressed the corners of her mouth that were about to rise, and said with concern: "I heard that the general was injured. Is it serious?"

The servant looked reluctant and lowered his voice, "Don't worry, Madam. The general only has minor injuries. He will be able to get out of bed in a few days."

Song Yanxi raised her eyebrows slightly. While feeling sorry, she secretly sighed that Duke Jingguo was just as rumored. He loved his daughter so much that he could even tolerate such a thing as trespassing into his unmarried daughter's boudoir.

But Duke Jingguo could tolerate it, but she couldn't.

Song Yanxi looked at the bamboo branch beside her and deliberately raised her voice, "In broad daylight, this villain is so brazen as to dare to attack the general. Doesn't he disregard the law?

Zhuzhi, prepare the carriage and follow me into the palace!"
