In her previous life, the scumbag faked his death at the border. Deceived by others, she believed her feelings for him were profound. She committed suicide at his grave, following him to the afterl...
Chapter 46 Wouldn't it be too easy for him to die so easily?
"Song is such a jerk! She's trying to kill my son!" Old Lady Lin was so angry that she was shaking when she saw her men coming back with bruised faces and noses.
With trembling hands, she pointed at Zhou's nose and said angrily, "Go there in person. If you don't see anyone..."
Zhou timidly interrupted her, "If I can't see him, will my mother-in-law ask my husband to divorce me?"
"You!" Madam Lin was furious. "Are you going to imitate that Song family member and piss me off to death?"
"My daughter-in-law dare not." Zhou lowered her eyes, still looking as obedient as before.
If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, Mrs. Lin would probably have doubted whether those words just came from the mouth of her eldest daughter-in-law.
The old lady's face darkened. "Don't be too proud too soon. Even if the people of Shuntian Prefecture have long arms, they can't control other people's backyards."
When Feng'er's injury gets better, she will have time to teach this guy who is trying to take advantage of her a lesson!
"Madam, something bad has happened!" The maid ran in hurriedly.
Madam Lin was so angry that she grabbed the medicine bowl and threw it at him, cursing, "You blind, unlucky thing! I'm sitting here perfectly fine, how come I'm in trouble?
I'm afraid all of you are hoping to piss me off to death soon, but luckily the General's Mansion has absolute control over everything!"
"Puchi..." Zhou couldn't help but laughed out loud.
Facing the old lady's murderous gaze, Zhou wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said hesitantly, "Don't blame me, mother-in-law. I'm really heartbroken when I think about my uncle's injury not getting better."
"I don't usually see you showing any concern for Feng'er, yet you're pretending to be nice to her and you don't even think it's disgusting."
Madam Lin frowned and said irritably, "What's that noise outside? Did someone die?"
Zhou listened carefully and said, "It seems to be joy."
Glancing at the sun outside, Madam Lin sneered, "Whoever marries off at this hour wouldn't be afraid of causing any disturbances and turning a happy event into a funeral."
Zhou frowned, suppressed the contempt in her heart, and said in a faint tone, "Mother-in-law, why do I hear this noise? It seems to be coming towards our general's mansion."
Mrs. Lin listened carefully and found that it was indeed the case.
The suona sound stayed there not too far away and lasted for quite a while.
She stood up and walked out. When she passed the unconscious maid, she kicked her and cursed, "You blind little bitch, I will sell you out sooner or later!"
As the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked out of the yard, they ran into Song Yanxi who was carrying four bamboos.
The five masters and servants had the aura of more than ten or twenty people, and they looked not to be trifled with.
Madam Lin's face was very long. "What are you doing here?"
The person who has been invited several times but failed to come now comes on his own initiative. It must be like a weasel visiting a chicken and has no good intentions.
Song Yanxi smiled and said, "Of course I'm here to fulfill my promise, General."
"Bitch!" The old lady's face flushed instantly, "Feng'er has been harmed by you and you still dare to ask him for money!"
"It is only natural to pay back a debt. Moreover, the general is a man of integrity, so he will keep his word."
Song Yanxi suppressed her smile and asked seriously, "What did you mean by that, mother-in-law? Is the general determined to go back on his word?"
Madam Lin was furious and said angrily, "You are Feng'er's wife, what's yours is his. How can the money exchanged between husband and wife be considered a debt?"
Before Lin Tingfeng fell into a coma, he repeatedly reminded her and even forced her to swear on the reputation of her deceased parents that she would never blame Song Yanxi in front of others for selling the general's family property and donating it to the army, so as to avoid spreading the news and angering the emperor.
Now the way she looked at Song Yanxi was no different from the way she looked at the murderer of her father.
Song Yanxi frowned slightly and asked, "But there's no money in the General's Mansion account. Can't the General take it out?"
"Who said that?" Madam Lin said stubbornly, "There's plenty of money in the account."
She smiled coldly, "I just won't give it to you, what can you do? If you have the guts, go to Shuntian Prefecture and complain!"
As she spoke, the old lady glared at Zhou, who had been watching the whole show, and said, "Come with me and see who is so blind as to be so presumptuous outside my general's mansion."
Zhou nodded slightly at Song Yanxi and left with her.
When they had walked a little distance, Zhuzhi asked softly, "Miss, should we go out and take a look?"
Her intuition told her that the excitement the girl had just described was definitely not as simple as coming to Fushou Hall specifically to see Old Madam Lin getting upset.
Song Yanxi nodded and instructed, "There's no need to send the incense to the general's courtyard."
The blood on his back has been flowing for three days. If this continues, Lin Tingfeng will definitely die.
Wouldn't it be too easy for him to die so easily?
*
At the entrance of the general's mansion, mahogany boxes were lined up in a row as if there was no end in sight. Each box was tied with red silk, which was very festive.
The crowd of onlookers surrounded the main entrance, talking incessantly, wanting to know who in the capital could pull off such a big commotion.
"Eighty-seven, eighty-eight! A whole eighty-eight. Last year, that princess got married with only sixty-eight people, right?"
"Isn't it said that General Lin is out of favor and was beaten half to death by the Emperor a few days ago? Are you planning to marry the princess to him now?"
"Princess? What a wishful thinking! The positions of wife and concubine are already taken. Is it possible that a princess would give up and become his concubine?"
"I just heard them talking about a princess. Could it be that the general's wife did this?"
"What does the General's wife want? You can't use your own dowry to help your husband find a concubine!"
There was a burst of laughter all around.
The leading steward turned around and glared at the man, then shouted, "My boss's surname is Zhuang. Don't compare anyone with us."
There are only a few families with the surname Zhuang in Beijing, and only one of them can put on such a grand display.
Everyone looked at each other, some of them not daring to believe their own guess.
Until I heard someone in the group say, "She's not the only princess, as if everyone is not a princess."
"It turns out to be the girl who is eager to get married!" Some of the onlookers who were outspoken could not help laughing out loud.
In recent days, everyone in Beijing, from sixty-year-old men to three-year-old children, has heard the song of "Hate to Get Married" passed down from mouth to mouth by children.
Some people originally thought that this matter might be a rumor and not true. After all, Zhuang Shihan was not only a princess personally appointed by the emperor, but also the only daughter of the heroic Duke Jingguo, and she enjoyed supreme honor.
She has the looks and the status, so why would she go to such lengths for a married man?
Now it looks like...
"Go away, what do you know? Why are you talking nonsense here? Our boss and the general are in true love!" The leader tried to explain.
He was responded with even louder laughter, and everyone was laughing so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs.
Mrs. Lin came out originally to chase people away, but as soon as she reached the door, she was shocked by the boxes lined up outside and was speechless.
She pinched herself hard to make sure she was not dreaming, and was suddenly surprised and happy.
The steward stepped forward and said with a smile, "The old lady is very happy. I came here today to take a trip on behalf of my boss to deliver her dowry to the general's mansion first."
