Chapter 598 Oh my God, why am I not dead yet?

Lin Tingfeng's expression suddenly changed, and he scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

He looked back and Huang Feng quickly closed the door.

Madam Lin looked at him dimly and asked, "Since I'm just talking nonsense, why are you so panicked?"

Lin Tingfeng frowned and said, "Princess Huayang is your Majesty's sister and enjoys a fiefdom. If this kind of talk gets out, do you know what the consequences will be?

He thought he must be crazy to be arguing with such a crazy person.

Lin Tingfeng's face darkened even more. He turned around and wanted to leave, but then he heard Madam Lin ask again, "Where did the golden cup sent from the General's Mansion for the Princess's birthday banquet last year come from?"

During Princess Huayang's birthday banquet, Lin Tingfeng was still entangled with Ke Shan in the border town and had no time to pay attention to what was happening in the capital.

Naturally, I don’t know what a golden cup is.

He thought for a moment and said, "At that time, the household was still managed by the Song family. I think she bought it with her own money."

After all, this kind of thing has happened before.

He was completely focused on his official duties in the border town, and when he had some time he also had to deal with Shihan, so he never asked about the big or small matters at home.

If he had not specifically asked the housekeeper, he would never have imagined how much Song Yanxi had donated to the mansion in the past two years.

If he had paid a little attention and sent back a few letters, he would have known how difficult it was for her to be alone in the general's mansion.

The mother-in-law doesn't care, and the sister-in-law only makes things worse. She wants the best of everything in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

As for the letters she wrote to him in the first year, except for the first one, he burned them in front of Shihan after receiving them.

I don’t know how many grievances she has hidden in there.

Lin Tingfeng felt furious when he thought about this. He said with a sullen face, "If mother had been more tolerant towards Song, she wouldn't have been so disappointed with the General's Mansion and would even risk her life to divorce me."

Listening to his complaints, Mrs. Lin just found it funny.

You couldn't keep your wife and she was seduced by someone else, and now you blame her?

She couldn't help but ask, "You haven't written her a single letter since you left for the war. Did I teach you that?"

Lin Tingfeng's face turned pale and he couldn't say anything to refute.

In this matter, he was wrong first.

But Song Yanxi was extremely disappointed with the General's Mansion, but it would not be resolved overnight.

Is she, as the mother-in-law, really innocent in this?

He was her son, and Mrs. Lin could tell at a glance what he was thinking at the moment.

She said, "Yes, Xuan'er and I don't like her, but isn't it all because you hooked up with that vicious woman?"

One of her grandparents was wealthy but came from a merchant background and was not loved by her father, while the other was the only daughter of a duke and was personally conferred the title of princess by His Majesty.

Anyone who is not a fool knows how to choose between the two daughters-in-law.

The most important thing is that he wrote a letter himself and sent it back, saying that he had no interest in Song and would divorce her sooner or later.

Madam Lin asked, "Didn't you say these words yourself?"

Lin Tingfeng's expression became increasingly ugly, and he clenched his fists and said, "Enough!"

Madam Lin sneered, her chest rising and falling rapidly. "You two, father and son, are truly hypocritical to the core."

She gasped and reminded him, "Silly boy, you are still very young compared to your father."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head away and refused to speak again no matter how Lin Tingfeng asked.

She knows her son.

She also knew her husband's ability to distort the truth in front of others.

Unless he found out for himself, he wouldn't believe her no matter how much she talked.

It is even possible that she was resentful of Lin Zhongquan and deliberately slandered him.

Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of him, Lin Tingfeng suppressed his anger and said, "Mother, please have a good rest."

Looking at his departing figure, Mrs. Lin suddenly asked, "Feng'er, do you believe that mother was framed?"

During these days when her legs were broken and she couldn't go anywhere and had to lie in bed, she thought a lot.

Even though it happened so many years ago, she still remembers the details of that night vividly.

Obviously, she had only had a few drinks and shouldn't have been drunk to the point of passing out.

Afterwards, she drank the contraceptive soup immediately.

Just once, and only once.

What shouldn't have come finally came.

She had just found out she was pregnant, and hadn't even had time to ask someone to get abortion pills, when Lin Zhongquan, who was away from home all day, suddenly came back to get something.

It was just the right moment that I caught her suffering from morning sickness.

A man who was so careless in his daily life that he didn't even notice that his son's face was swollen like a pig's head after being disfigured by someone, guessed that she was pregnant at once.

And what happened next was so natural.

Old Madam Lin had never thought about it carefully before, but the more she thought about it these days, the more she felt that these things were too coincidental.

It's like one ring after another, closely connected.

Even if there was a slight mistake in any link, the result would not be like this.

Obviously, the person who was blamed and ridiculed was Lin Zhongquan, who abandoned his wife and children.

But over the years, all the women in Beijing have laughed at her and blamed her for her self-degradation.

If it weren't for the fact that the two brothers looked like Lin Zhongquan's children, she would have been drowned by all the spit.

Yes, Lin Zhongquan went far away to southern Xinjiang and could not hear the gossip in Beijing.

But he was going to take up a post, not to die.

For so many years, he didn't go home or write letters, and completely pretended that his mother and he didn't exist.

If the two brothers hadn't let it slip one time, she wouldn't even know that they were exchanging letters with him.

How can a man who even refuses to marry his two sons by citing his busy military duties be qualified to be a father?

The more Mrs. Lin thought about it, the more hateful she became. When she came to her senses, she found that Lin Tingfeng was no longer in the room.

She lay on the bed, tears streaming down her face.

He murmured, "Oh my God, why am I not dead yet?"

*

After leaving the gate of Fushou Hall, Lin Tingfeng covered his chest and vomited blood.

Huang Feng hurriedly supported him and advised, "General, why bother? Using your energy to suppress the poison will only harm your body more."

Lin Tingfeng raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and said in a deep voice: "It has nothing to do with the poison in your body."

He was so angry that he was forced to give in.

How could a general's mansion become like this?

Lin Tingfeng looked at Huang Feng, frowned, and asked, "You heard what the old lady said just now. What do you think?"

Huang Feng hesitated and said, "This is about the old lady's reputation. I dare not make any rash judgments."

Lin Tingfeng: "Speak."

"In my opinion, the old lady's words don't seem false."

Huang Feng observed Lin Tingfeng's expression as he spoke. Seeing that he didn't react, he continued, "The old lady is clear-headed. What she said doesn't seem to be fabricated."

At least, 80% of it is based on facts.

As for the remaining 20%, it may be based on her guess.

But Huang Feng didn't dare to say these words directly.

This matter concerns Princess Huayang and is of no trivial importance.

Even if he had more courage, he would not dare to make any irresponsible remarks.

Lin Tingfeng nodded and said with a cold face: "Call the butler, I have something to ask him."

The housekeeper was brought over quickly. He knelt down before saying anything and said tremblingly, "General, please calm down. It's not that I'm not doing my best, it's just that the old lady has been very capricious these days.

Including the one today, more than ten maids have been chased away this month."

Lin Tingfeng's face was gloomy. He asked, "Where did the golden cup sent to Princess Huayang's birthday banquet last year come from?"
