Chapter 37: Eternal life, no chance of turning over!

Lin Tingye was startled, but when he came to his senses, he quickly apologized with a smile, "Mother-in-law, calm down. You misunderstood my second brother. He just missed my husband and me and wanted to have a chat with the three of us."

"Family?" Madam Zhou couldn't hold back any longer and sneered, "The General's Mansion is a wealthy and powerful family. I cannot live up to Lord Lin's words."

As she spoke, she glared at Zhou with a look of dismay, accusing her of something else entirely: "You useless thing! You've been tortured to this point without even saying a word. Are you just waiting for the day you'll be forced to jump into a well so your father and I can collect your body?"

"Why do you say that, mother-in-law?" Lin Tingye was visibly panicked.

He looked at the silent Zhou and urged, "Madam, please tell your mother-in-law how she treats you at home. Does she treat you as her own daughter, just like Tingxuan?"

It looked like a question, but it was actually a threat.

If Zhou dares to say anything wrong today, she will suffer the consequences when she returns to the general's mansion.

When Zhou thought of the mother and daughter's tormenting methods, she felt scared from the bottom of her heart and stammered, unable to speak a complete sentence.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou had no idea what was going on and was immediately furious.

She rolled her eyes and looked at Lin Tingye and said bluntly, "You've said so many nice things, I'm afraid you even believe them yourself."

"Let me ask you, in the past few years since my son married into your family, has he been unfilial to his parents-in-law? Has he been lazy and neglectful of household chores? Or has he become jealous and prevented you from taking a wife or concubine because he has no children?"

Three questions in a row left Lin Tingye unable to react.

Madam Lin was so angry that her face turned red. She gnashed her teeth and said, "Why don't you go out and ask around the city to see which mother-in-law behaves like your mother, yelling at her daughter-in-law to stand in front of her every day and behave properly? Now she's even setting her sights on her dowry.

Even in an ordinary family, unless all the men in the family are dead, they would rather starve to death than do such a shameful thing as using a daughter-in-law's dowry!"

Lin Tingye flatly denied: "My mother-in-law misunderstood, this is absolutely not the case!"

He spoke with such confidence that it sounded somewhat credible.

Song Yanxi stood up and gently patted Madam Zhou's back, saying, "Anger is harmful to your health. Auntie, please don't get angry."

The old lady was thinking about how to prevent Zhou from coming forward, so as to avoid an awkward situation when returning to the general's residence. She quickly looked at her and said, "Child, Auntie knows you are a good child. You speak."

"This..." Song Yanxi hesitated to speak.

She glanced at the two brothers across from her in embarrassment, and after a long pause, she finally said, "Auntie may have misunderstood. Mother-in-law...she usually treats my eldest sister-in-law very well."

She paused and added, "If Auntie doesn't even believe what I say, you can ask Big Brother to swear to heaven."

When he heard the oath, Lin Tingye's face suddenly became as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.

Da'an has always attached great importance to the theories of gods and ghosts, especially those like Lin Tingye, who talks about benevolence, righteousness and morality all day long but is actually a cowardly hypocrite. He doesn't even dare to read it.

Lin Tingfeng glared at Song Yanxi and said coldly, "Madam, what we two brothers said is what we two brothers wanted to say. If Auntie doesn't believe it, my wife can also swear an oath."

Madam Zhou laughed in anger. "This is the first time I've heard of someone swearing to heaven and having someone do it for me in my entire life!"

Do these two brothers think that she is senile and confused, or do they think that Yan Xi is easy to bully?

Thinking of this, Madam Zhou grabbed Song Yanxi's hand and said in a strong tone, "Don't be afraid, my dear child. Just tell the truth today. If you offend anyone and suffer injustice because of this, your uncle and I will seek justice for you even if our blood is splattered in front of the emperor!"

Regardless of whether this is true or not, just based on her momentum, she has already won.

In the past, the reason why Old Lady Lin dared to treat Zhou harshly was not only because she disliked her family background and appearance, but also because she had always heard that the two elders of the Zhou family had good tempers.

After making things difficult for Zhou for the first time and seeing no reaction from the Zhou family, he began to escalate his situation.

In addition, because Zhou had no children, she tolerated her again and again, so the mother and son, as well as Lin Tingxuan, began to take her less and less seriously, and verbal ridicule became commonplace.

Lin Tingfeng stared at Song Yanxi intently, as if he would kill her immediately if she dared to say anything wrong.

Song Yanxi glanced at him, bit her lower lip and said, "Aunt, what the general said is true, so please don't ask."

It would be better not to say this.

Madam Zhou became anxious and pressed, "Don't be afraid. Just tell me what you have to say. Now that you are a princess appointed by the emperor himself, who dares to do anything to you?"

Only after she finished speaking did she realize that she had blurted out her true feelings, and she looked a little embarrassed.

Just when she thought Song Yanxi would back down after hearing her plan, she heard her ask softly, "Aunt, if I swear a poisonous oath, will you believe me?"

"This..." As someone who had experienced this, Mrs. Zhou was only half-believing and half-doubting this so-called retribution.

But when she caught a glimpse of the two brothers who became nervous at the same time after hearing this, she immediately changed her mind.

Seeing that Madam Zhou agreed so readily, Lin Tingfeng suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

When has the Song family ever been so obedient?

not good!

Seeing Lin Tingfeng's face suddenly darken, Song Yanxi smiled at him suddenly, with her slightly raised eyebrows showing provocation.

Without waiting for him to stop her, she raised her hand to the sky and said quickly, "I, Song Yanxi, swear here that if even one word I just said is false, the General's Mansion will be struck by a sudden disaster one day, and the men of the Lin family will be enslaved and the women will be prostitutes..."

"Song Yanxi, shut up!" Lin Tingfeng suddenly stood up, his eyes bloodshot as if he could eat someone.

Song Yanxi ignored him and continued, "For eternity, you will never be able to turn over!"

Although she spoke quickly and not loudly, every word she said was powerful, and even the Zhou family servants waiting outside the door could hear her clearly.

Madam Zhou was also shocked by this vicious oath. After she came to her senses, she couldn't help but look at the murderous Lin Tingfeng and said angrily, "General Lin is so arrogant. Princess Yong'an didn't hesitate to make such a solemn oath to protect the reputation of the family. How can you have the nerve to blame him if you don't say that you feel sorry for her?"

"General Lin, don't forget that she is also a member of the Lin family!"

To what extent must a woman be pushed to gamble her own future and the future of her future children and play this drama with these two brothers?

Thinking of this, Madam Zhou couldn't help but feel annoyed by her selfishness just now. She took Song Yanxi's hand and said, "Good child, I'm sorry for making you suffer today. It's all your fault."

Song Yanxi lowered her eyes, her voice slightly bitter, "Aunt, please don't be angry. My mother-in-law really treats me and my sister-in-law like her own daughters."

Madam Zhou snorted softly, squeezed her hand hard, and said meaningfully, "All these aunts know that your mother-in-law is indeed a very good person."

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Lin Tingfeng could no longer bear it and said, "Aunt, I am sorry for disturbing you today because I am ignorant. I will take my wife back now."

He smiled and held out his hand towards Song Yanxi, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "Madam, let's go."
