Chapter 62 General, are you begging me?

In Lingxi Pavilion, the four bamboos divided the work tacitly. One person was responsible for preparing tea to entertain Eunuch Qi and several ladies, and the other three were responsible for cleaning up.

Zhu Yu waved his hand and said, "Move away everything that can be moved. If it can't be moved, burn it or smash it. Don't leave even a hair behind."

The maids and servants who were able to stay in the courtyard to serve were all carefully selected by Yan Qing when Song Yanxi got married, and they were all skilled in their work.

Especially when he heard that his daughter was going to move to the Princess's Mansion, he was even more motivated, and he wished that no grass would grow wherever he passed.

If Zhu Yu wasn't afraid of embarrassing Song Yanxi, he would have wanted to remove all the glazed tiles from the eaves.

Song Yanxi was drinking tea when she noticed the noise outside. She said quietly, "Just do whatever you want to do. Even if the sky falls, your girl will hold it up."

So, everyone who was drinking tea saw the little girl in the yard clapping her hands, and immediately someone brought a ladder and started to climb up to the house.

Eunuch Qi coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, how about we move to the courtyard to have some tea? The fiery clouds in the sky are at their most beautiful right now."

A few people held back their laughter and stood up to sit in the yard.

Seeing that Zhuzhi had already helped to move things, they didn't feel comfortable waiting for others to serve them, so they consciously picked up their teacups.

Whether you drink tea or not is actually not important.

If you miss this once-in-a-century excitement, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

Mrs. Qiu grabbed a handful of melon seeds and asked casually, "Yanxi, I heard from your uncle that you donated a lot of money to the Ministry of Revenue. Do you have enough money?"

Song Yanxi smiled lightly and nodded, "Thank you for your concern, aunt. There are only a few of us in the courtyard, so it won't cost much."

"Why, all the expenses of the maids in this courtyard are paid by the princess herself?" Madam Xu frowned.

Hearing this, Song Yanxi just smiled and said nothing, but it seemed like she had said everything.

Madam Xu couldn't help but sneer, "What a disgraceful family! With a mother like that, they certainly can't raise any good children."

When Madam Yao beside her pulled on her sleeve, she suddenly seemed to remember something and apologized, "Women always talk too much when they sit together. I'm really sorry for disturbing Eunuch Qi's peace."

"It's not a big deal, it's not a big deal. I just like to join in the fun. Ladies, just say whatever you want to say and pretend I don't exist."

Having said that, everyone knows that Eunuch Qi is Dehai's eyes.

Whatever they said today would soon reach the ears of the person in the palace without missing a word, but this was exactly what they wanted.

If before, many people in the capital were still unsure of the emperor's attitude towards the newly-appointed Princess Yong'an, after today, they will see it clearly.

Not only did he issue an imperial decree to reprimand Lin Tingfeng, but he also granted him the title of Princess of the County. Not only could other princesses and princesses not compare to him, even the prince would find it rare to be so attentive.

In less than two days, the threshold of the Princess's Mansion will probably be trampled down by someone.

If they don't establish a good relationship now, when will they?

"What are you doing? Put your things down quickly!" Lin Tingfeng was carried over sitting on a chair, his face as pale as a dead person due to excessive blood loss.

Everyone glanced at him, their hands moving non-stop.

Lin Tingfeng said angrily: "I am talking to you, are you all deaf?"

Song Yanxi scratched her ears and reminded coldly, "General, you may have forgotten that these people's indentures are not in the General's Mansion."

Lin Tingfeng gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and spoke as slowly as possible, "You and I are husband and wife. Madam, do you have to separate so clearly from me?"

"So what?" Song Yanxi took a sip of tea and looked at Madam Qiu who was eating fruit across from her, her brows slightly furrowed. "Aunt, does Da'an law stipulate that the people a woman brings into her husband's family upon marriage must obey the orders of her husband's family?"

"This..." Madam Qiu hesitated for a moment, then said with a gloomy face, "If these people's indentures were brought in as part of your dowry, you really need to listen to them."

Song Yanxi nodded in understanding, then said nonchalantly, "Their indentures are not in my hands. They are free."

Mrs. Qiu smiled and said, "Then don't worry about it. If someone makes a fuss, just ignore them!"

Being ridiculed by them in front of him, Lin Tingfeng wanted to kill them, but he could only suppress his emotions and said in a low voice: "Madam, mother has been irritated by you and has become ill. Please stop making trouble."

Song Yanxi raised her eyebrows, "General, are you begging me?"

Lin Tingfeng, who was so proud, blurted out without thinking: "Why would I beg you?"

As soon as he said it, he regretted it.

"General..."

"That's great. General, you are a man of steel. Once you say something, you can't take it back. Don't do anything that will make me look down on you." Song Yanxi spoke first.

With such a high hat on his head, Lin Tingfeng couldn't go back on his word even if he wanted to.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes showing more anger. "Madam, do you really have to do this?"

Song Yanxi nodded, "It has to be this way."

You're not a man if you want to take back what you've said.

After being repeatedly refuted, Lin Tingfeng couldn't help but look cold, "If you want to leave, then leave. Don't even think about taking away a single flower or tree in the General's Mansion!"

"Ahem!" Mrs. Qiu, who was drinking water, choked and quickly waved her hands, "You guys continue, don't worry about me."

A trace of shame and anger flashed in Lin Tingfeng's eyes. He lowered his voice and threatened, "Song Yanxi, if you dare to step out of the General's Mansion today, don't even think about coming back."

"I couldn't ask for more."

"Just don't regret it." Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lin Tingfeng didn't even dare to say anything too harsh, for fear that someone would catch him and make a big fuss about it.

Song Yanxi smiled brightly, "General, don't worry. Even if I starve to death on the streets, I will never kneel down and beg you to let me return to the General's Mansion."

Having his thoughts exposed, Lin Tingfeng said angrily, "For a shrew like you, moving out of the general's mansion is a blessing for the whole family. This general is more than happy to have you do it!"

After he finished speaking, he ordered his attendants, "Everyone, open your eyes and look carefully. If anything is lost in the mansion, I will hold you accountable!"

Turning his head, he met Song Yanxi's eyes with a cold smile. He became even angrier, his eyes reddening, "Since you want to leave so badly, get out of the General's Mansion with your men now!"

Lin Tingfeng glimpsed Zhuzhi and the others still packing up their things, and couldn't help but sneer, "Why, the thirty thousand taels of silver that mother gave you isn't enough to buy these little things of yours?"
