Chapter 38 Reporting to the Police

After leaving the Zhou family's gate, Lin Tingfeng shook off Song Yanxi's hand and angrily said in a low voice: "You vicious woman!"

Song Yanxi wasn't annoyed at all. She looked at his rash-covered hands with a smile and asked, "General, you must be feeling itchy right now, right?"

"Antidote!"

Lin Tingfeng scratched the back of his hand with a cold face, leaving several blood marks, but the itch that seemed to penetrate deep into his bones was not relieved at all.

It was like countless ants were crawling in through his fingertips, gnawing and biting all the way to his limbs and bones, making him want to cut off his arms to relieve the itch.

Song Yanxi ignored him and took the handkerchief handed to her by Zhuzhi, carefully wiping her slender fingers, as if her hands were stained with something dirty.

After making sure her hand was wiped clean, she threw the handkerchief aside and said in a cold tone, "Burn it."

Lin Tingfeng's expression darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I will be your husband!"

This woman actually dared to dislike him so blatantly, she was simply rebelling against Tian Gang.

Song Yanxi raised her eyelids and said with a smile, "The general is used to joking. The people outside the general's mansion heard it that day. You and Princess Shihan are the husband and wife who have worshipped heaven and earth.

Princess Shihan is lucky, unlike me, whose husband died on the battlefield early, leaving her without a child..."

"Are you crazy?" Lin Tingfeng interrupted her impatiently.

Her words are incoherent and I really don't know what she is talking about.

His hands were itching badly. He scratched them while threatening viciously, "Hand over the antidote quickly, otherwise..."

Song Yanxi asked coldly, "What else? General, are you going to divorce me?"

Lin Tingfeng was already impatient because of the itch on his hands, and when he heard her aggressive tone, he blurted out in anger: "A vicious woman like you, I will divorce you sooner or later!"

He was a military commander with a loud voice, and he was angry, so his voice was full of energy.

Looking at Song Yanxi with a faint smile in her eyes, Lin Tingfeng's face suddenly darkened, "Song, are you deliberately provoking me?"

The people watching around answered for Song Yanxi.

"He's so heartless and disloyal, and he even dares to threaten to divorce his wife. He should just divorce her. I've never seen such a shameless person in my life."

"What a rubbish general! My son just said he was a hero defending his country, but I think he's more like a conscienceless bear!"

"God has mercy on him! He dared to treat the General's wife like this even though they were outside. It's obvious that she must have been abused a lot in their house."

"Stop talking right now! Do you know that butcher at the street corner yesterday? He was just drinking with someone and said a few words about him and that princess. On his way home, someone put a sack on him and broke his legs. He's still lying in bed now!"

"How dare you be so arrogant? Is there any law in this world? Where is the censor? Let's go find him!"

When they heard that people were beaten in the general's mansion, everyone was immediately filled with righteous indignation.

I don't know who shouted, "Looking for the Censor," but everyone rushed towards the Censorate.

Song Yanxi looked at the backs of those people, a faint smile appearing in her eyes.

Lin Tingfeng, with his back to them, didn't even see the faces of those people before they ran away.

Only a few children were left who spat at him, snorted, and ran away singing nursery rhymes.

Lin Tingfeng only vaguely heard words like "the general is wonderful" and "the girl who is eager to get married".

He immediately understood that this was an allusion to him and Zhuang Shihan. He looked at Song Yanxi with eyes that seemed to hold knives, and reached out to pull her, "Come back to the mansion with me!"

Just as he was about to touch that white wrist, Lin Tingfeng's movements suddenly froze and he withdrew his hand awkwardly.

Song Yanxi couldn't help but sneer, and said with a look of sarcasm: "I thought the general would never learn his lesson.

General, please respect yourself from now on. If you dare to touch me again, I can't guarantee that the next time I use a poison that will instantly rupture your intestines."

She threw down the words, and without caring about Lin Tingfeng's reaction, she turned around and got into her carriage.

When I'm with him, even the air stinks.

Zhuzhi lowered the carriage curtain and turned around, unable to hold back her laughter any longer. She lowered her voice and said, "Miss, you didn't see how ugly the general's face was just now. It was so satisfying!"

"Does this make you feel relieved?" Song Yanxi raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled, "The real fun is yet to come."

She waved at Zhuzhi, motioning her to come closer.

Zhuzhi quickly did as he was told. The more he listened, the wider his eyes became and the more excited he became.

In Fushou Hall, Mrs. Lin's face darkened the moment she saw Song Yanxi, and she sternly shouted, "Kneel down!"

Song Yanxi looked at Lin Tingfeng who followed behind her and said considerately: "General, mother-in-law asked you to kneel down."

"Song Yanxi, stop talking nonsense here. I'm talking about you!" Old Madam Lin was almost furious.

She pointed at Song Yanxi with a trembling finger and asked, "Let me ask you, where are the things in your private vault?"

Song Yanxi blurted out: "It's in the general's hands."

Afraid that the mother and son had forgotten, she reminded them, "The day before yesterday, I personally handed the key to the private vault to the general. Everyone in the mansion saw it."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lin became even angrier.

You could see that her maid specially carried a tray and swaggered across half of the general's mansion to deliver it to her.

Now, who in the whole house doesn’t know about this?

I'm afraid even the dog tied in the backyard heard it.

This is also the main reason why Mrs. Lin did not take action immediately after discovering that her private treasury was empty, but instead forced Zhou to pay money.

The General's Mansion cannot afford to lose face.

But now, it is no longer a question of whether it is embarrassing or not.

Zhou had already run back to her parents' home because of the commotion. Whether she comes back today or not, her dowry will definitely not be touched during this period of time.

There are hundreds of mouths to feed in the huge general's mansion, and the food alone costs dozens of taels of silver every day, not to mention that the monthly salary will be paid in two days. What can we do without money?

Thinking of the land and shops that were sold a few days ago, Mrs. Lin's eyebrows raised in anger. "Song, stop pretending to be stupid here. If you don't tell me where the things in your private storehouse are hidden today, don't blame me, your mother-in-law, for being cruel."

When Song Yanxi heard this, her face turned pale instantly.

Thinking that she was afraid, Mrs. Lin couldn't help feeling proud.

Even if Song Yanxi is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family and is now a princess with a noble status, so what?

As long as she is the daughter-in-law of this family, she must never go west if her mother-in-law tells her to go east, otherwise she would be disobedient and unfilial.

If the case is really reported to Shuntian Prefecture, the princess will also be skinned alive!

Madam Lin almost couldn't hold back her laughter as she was calculating in her heart, but she pretended to be tolerant and said, "Mother is also an experienced person. She knows that you want to keep more money and property for yourself. This is human nature.

But since you've married into the General's Mansion, you're a member of the family. You should stand with the General's Mansion, not be selfish and only care about your own happiness without caring about the lives of others."

Song Yanxi lowered her eyes and said obediently, "Mother-in-law is right."

Madam Lin was even more pleased with herself, and she could no longer conceal the smile on her face. She said directly, "The current difficulties facing the mansion were caused by your momentary confusion. Since this is your first offense, your mother will not punish you. You should quickly return all the things in your private vault.

No matter how much you have spent, your mother will remember it for you, and when the General's Mansion is over this hurdle, she will repay you double."

"Mother-in-law, you really haven't seen the money in my private treasury..." Song Yanxi looked up, looking anxious.

Madam Lin's face darkened as she interrupted her, scolding, "Song, I've said everything I need to say. Don't be so ungrateful!"

"It's bad, it's bad..." Song Yanxi was so anxious that she turned around twice, turned around and shouted outside: "Zhuzhi, hurry up, go to Shuntian Prefecture and report to the police!"
