Chapter 406: I want a divorce unless he dies!
Listening to Doctor Liu's sarcastic words, Zhuang Shihan smiled instead of getting angry. She stared at Song Yanxi with a dim gaze and said word by word, "Of course, I want to go with you all."
Doctor Liu blurted out, "Don't you think the General's Mansion doesn't even have a bowl of noodles? Do you have to come to the post station to get some?"
As soon as he finished speaking, another figure came in from the door.
When he saw Lin Tingfeng's face clearly, Doctor Liu laughed out of anger.
He said sarcastically, "I don't know what a good day today is. I should check the almanac before going out so I can bathe and burn some incense to welcome you two."
Zhuang Shihan picked a table and sat down, then asked with a smile, "It's not too late now. Do you want to go now or after we finish eating the noodles?"
As she spoke, she said to herself, "Let's finish our noodles first, otherwise they'll get clumpy and we won't be able to eat them."
When Doctor Liu heard this, his face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
If he wasn't sitting far away, he would have gone up and torn the girl's mouth apart, even at the risk of being known as an elder with disrespect.
Especially when he thought about Doctor Li being wrongly accused of peeping at her changing clothes, he said directly: "Old Li, let's finish our noodles and leave quickly, otherwise we will be late and get blamed again.
I’m old now, and there are too many shit pots to handle.”
Doctor Li blushed and nodded quickly, agreeing very much.
He didn't want to have anything to do with Princess Shihan anymore. He had no face to lose.
Zhuang Shihan's smile froze, and she said with disgust, "It's obvious that I'm the one who's always being dishonest. Why are you pretending?"
"Who are you calling indecent?" Doctor Li's eyes suddenly widened, and he stood up and was about to go and argue with her.
Zhuang Shihan was about to retort when Lin Tingfeng, who was sitting across from her, said in a deep voice, "Shihan, don't engage in meaningless arguments with your elders."
"What kind of elders are they?" Zhuang Shihan muttered.
Although she was not convinced, she lowered her voice a lot, clearly giving him face.
Song Yanxi saw this and secretly sighed that Lin Tingfeng was indeed a capable man. He had coaxed the girl into submission in just one night.
Doctor Li was too lazy to argue with a junior like Zhuang Shihan. Seeing that Lin Tingfeng was willing to act as a peacemaker, he gave him face and stopped harassing him.
Doctor Liu didn't think so.
He was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. When he heard this, he immediately perked up and asked with a frown, "General Lin, are you saying this because you know that those rumors are all false?"
Lin Tingfeng nodded, his eyes full of respect as he said, "I believe in Mr. Li's character and he would never do such a despicable thing."
Doctor Liu raised his eyebrows and said bluntly, "Your belief is useless."
He asked directly, "General Lin, do you think you can shut up the people of this city with just a few words?"
Hearing this, Lin Tingfeng's expression turned ugly.
He really didn't expect that even at Doctor Li's age, people in the city were still keen on spreading his romantic scandals.
There were all kinds of rumors, including one that he climbed over a widow's wall in the middle of the night, which was very detailed.
He felt ashamed just talking about it.
Doctor Liu noticed his embarrassment and found it even more amusing. He said meaningfully, "I thought General Lin didn't care about those rumors. This morning he was telling Old Li that you are broad-minded and truly a rare talent."
He praises openly but criticizes secretly, which makes people feel angry but unable to do anything about it.
Seeing that Lin Tingfeng dared to be angry but not to speak, Zhuang Shihan couldn't help but roll her eyes and secretly cursed him in her heart for not being a man.
Every word and action is done for fear of offending others.
He didn't even think about the fact that these old men had been disgusted with their behavior ever since they found out she was a girl, and they were still rude to him even when they were being flattered and respected.
When dealing with people like this, you can't be nice to them.
This will avoid the situation where you fail to curry favor with someone and end up being laughed at.
Besides, they are just a few old guys who have been in the border army for many years and have some seniority. Even if they are exhausted to death, they cannot cause any trouble.
Zhuang Shihan looked around and smiled coldly, "Why isn't the prince at the post station so early in the morning? Could something big have happened in the city?"
There was clearly something else behind her words.
Understanding the provocation in her eyes, Song Yanxi's heart sank.
Now the epidemic crisis has been resolved, and the supplies from the capital have arrived a few days ago. After this battle, the Liang army has temporarily avoided the sharp edge and dared not act rashly.
In the border town, what else can be considered a big deal?
Before Song Yanxi could think about it, she suddenly heard Lin Tingfeng say, "Today, the two of us will return to the capital with the prince."
Doctor Liu blurted out, "Are you two leaving too?"
Song Yanxi frowned when she heard this, unable to guess what these two people were thinking.
Especially, Zhuang Shihan, who said in front of them yesterday that she would not return to Beijing.
She has always had her own ideas and doesn't seem like the type to be easily persuaded. How could she change her mind in just one night?
Lin Tingfeng looked at Song Yanxi's furrowed brows and felt distressed. He even had an urge to smooth out the wrinkles between her brows.
But he knew he couldn't.
At least not now.
When he returned to the capital, he went to ask His Majesty to stop her idea of using military merit to obtain a divorce between them.
Since she married him and became a wife of the Lin family, she would be a member of the Lin family in life and a ghost of the Lin family in death.
A hundred years later, I will still be studying with him.
The only way to divorce him is to die!
Zhuang Shihan was sitting opposite him, taking in the unspeakable emotions in his eyes, and couldn't help but curl her lips sarcastically.
This guy is really mean.
He didn't want it when it was his, but now that it's someone else's, he craves it so much that he wishes he could turn into a dog-skin plaster that sticks to the person and won't come off.
As she caught a glimpse of the figure at the door, Zhuang Shihan's smile widened. "That's perfect. General Lin, you two will have one carriage, and I and the prince will have another."
Lin Tingfeng blurted out: "No!"
Zhuang Shihan raised an eyebrow, "Why not?"
Lin Tingfeng's face darkened, and he almost squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "It's not proper for a single man and a single woman to ride in a carriage together."
"I'm a doctor, and I could take care of His Royal Highness Prince Jin on the way back. Why not?"
Zhuang Shihan glanced at Song Yanxi and said sarcastically, "It worked when we came here, so it will work when we leave."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but laugh. She met Lin Tingfeng's angry eyes and asked quietly, "General Lin, don't you want to ride with your wife?"
Lin Tingfeng's eyes flickered, "I..."
Of course he is willing.
But he knew that Song Yanxi would definitely not agree, and would even hate him even more for it.
So before she could speak, he changed his words and said, "Your Highness's injuries have healed and he doesn't need anyone to take care of him. I can ride with you."
If the two of them were traveling together, wouldn't that mean she and Song Yanxi would have to ride in the same carriage?
Zhuang Shihan's expression changed, and without thinking, she said, "I won't ride with her."
She glared at Lin Tingfeng fiercely, wishing she could open his head and see what was inside.
If he let them go together, he was not afraid that she would get impulsive and kill Song Yanxi before reaching the capital.
On the contrary, she probably wanted to kill her.
If you haven't had your head pinched by the door a hundred times, you definitely wouldn't say such stupid things.
Lin Tingfeng frowned, his eyes clearly showing disapproval.
He was about to speak to persuade her when he heard a cold voice coming from the door.
"You all are vying to ride with me, but have you ever asked me if I am willing?"
Zhuang Shihan turned to look at Mo Jinchuan and asked confidently, "Your Majesty, are you unwilling to ride with me?"
