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 687 This matter has nothing to do with her, you don't have to blame her
Lin Tingfeng's eyes darkened slightly, and he asked in a cold voice, "Have you decided to go to Liang State to become the Crown Princess?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Shihan felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water over her head, chilling her to the bone.
She suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and said with impatience: "What Crown Princess? I don't know what you are talking about."
"You don't know, or you don't dare to say it?"
Not missing the flash of panic in her eyes, Lin Tingfeng curled the corners of his lips sarcastically, "Zhuang Shihan, you really treat me like a fool."
He asked in a deep voice, "What were you and that Prince Liang doing in the teahouse, alone, man and woman?"
Zhuang Shihan: "I..."
"Don't tell me you happened to see him having an attack and went to treat him."
Lin Tingfeng stared at her with a sinister look in his eyes.
If he had spoken a second later, these words would have come out of Zhuang Shihan's mouth.
Whether or not there is evidence, she will insist that she is treating him.
After all, she is a beautiful and kind-hearted medical genius.
It is unbearable to see someone being tortured by illness.
There were only the two of them in the room, so wasn't it up to her to decide right or wrong?
Zhuang Shihan bit her lower lip lightly and quickly thought of a countermeasure in her mind.
She observed carefully that day and found that there was no one else in the box except her and Wen Qi.
Wen Qi was a little crazy, but he always acted without regard for others' concerns. If he really wanted to break up with her, he would definitely come to the general's mansion in person.
They would even send someone to inform him in advance.
Either he didn't do it, or someone saw the two of them coming out of the box one after another.
This only proves that she and Wen Qi were alone together, and it doesn't prove anything else.
Besides, nothing had happened between her and him, so naturally she was acting uprightly.
Zhuang Shihan was just thinking about it when she heard Lin Tingfeng ask again, "Biancheng Jiaojiao's death, was it because she knew the secrets between us, or was it because she knew your secrets that cannot be seen in public?"
Listening to his series of questions, Zhuang Shihan knew that she could no longer be so passive.
Otherwise, all the charges against her will be pinned on her in the end.
She had a gloomy face and asked instead of answering: "You have been holding these words in your heart for a long time, right?"
Zhuang Shihan couldn't help but sneer as she spoke, "Back when we were in Border Town, you thought I was perfect. Even when I cursed people, my voice was pleasant.
Ever since you returned to Beijing, you have changed your attitude.
It's wrong for me to say it and it's wrong for me to do it. Anyway, no matter what, I can't win your heart like Song Yanxi.
If you had known this, why would you have divorced her?"
Lin Tingfeng frowned, "This matter has nothing to do with her, you don't have to blame her."
Zhuang Shihan laughed even more sarcastically when she heard this, "Listen, even the word 'climb and bite' is used.
If someone didn't know, they would think you two were a loving couple, and I was just a mean person who couldn't bear to see you have a good life."
Lin Tingfeng's eyes darkened, but he didn't subconsciously refute.
He was thinking that if he had not made a mistake in his moment of confusion, he would not have to be responsible to Zhuang Shihan.
If she hadn't interfered, when he returned victorious, with his military achievements, he and Song Yanxi would never have gotten divorced.
During those two years, if he occasionally sent a letter home, even if it was just a few words of concern for her, given her personality, she would never look for another way out for herself just because she saw no hope.
None of this would have happened if she hadn't appeared.
He could even use his military merits to ask for an imperial decree for Song Yanxi, making her the youngest imperial lady in Da'an.
The two of them live in harmony and if they have a few more children, their life will surely be happy and fulfilling.
Seeing the tenderness that could not help but show in Lin Tingfeng's eyes, Zhuang Shihan smiled sarcastically, "Why, you're daydreaming before it even gets dark?
If you want Song Yanxi to forgive you and reconcile with you, it will take a long time, unless the river flows backwards and the sun rises from the west."
With every word she spoke, Lin Tingfeng's face became darker.
Meeting his sinister eyes, Zhuang Shihan asked jokingly, "Why, do you want to strangle me to death?"
Lin Tingfeng tightened his fingers and said nothing.
But his reaction had already given Zhuang Shihan the answer.
She just felt chilled, staring at Lin Tingfeng and suddenly she started laughing, laughing so hard that tears came out.
Zhuang Shihan raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said sarcastically, "Lin Tingfeng, Lin Tingfeng, when Song Yanxi was married to you, you couldn't help but cheat on her.
Just as he was about to marry me, he dreamed of going back to me.
Tell me, are you cheap or not?"
"Shut up!"
Lin Tingfeng raised his hand and slammed it heavily on the table.
There was a loud "crash" and the small table made of rosewood shattered into pieces in an instant.
The flying table leg hit Zhuang Shihan's leg hard, and her face turned pale suddenly due to the pain.
What hurts more is her bleeding heart.
She endured the pain and took two steps forward. She raised her hand and slapped Lin Tingfeng hard on the face, cursing, "Do you know how much this chair is worth?
One thousand taels is more than your annual salary!"
Seeing that the dowry she had carefully selected was ruined by him, Zhuang Shihan felt like killing someone.
She gritted her teeth and said, "There's only one set of tables and chairs like this in the whole of Da'an. Even if I wanted to buy another one, I couldn't."
Zhuang Shihan raised her head and met Lin Tingfeng's furious eyes. She said disappointedly, "You really are not worthy of my care for you."
If she had not been so eager to marry him and had not prepared the best dowry, she would not be living such a miserable life now.
They haven't even gotten married yet, but first, they gave half of their dowry to that bitch Song Yanxi. Now, that old woman and her sickly brother are either taking medicine or taking supplements every day.
And his eldest sister-in-law, relying on the baby in her belly, eats either bird's nest, cordyceps or other rare foods all day long.
Every day, money is spent like water.
She felt a headache just by looking at the accounts of the General's Mansion.
But Lin Tingfeng was a person who only cared about food and did not care about other matters. When she talked about the accounts with him, she said that the accounts of the mansion should be managed by her, the future mistress.
With just a few words, the trouble was pushed in front of her.
We haven't even gotten married yet, but our life has become like this. What hope do we have for the future?
Zhuang Shihan felt more and more aggrieved as she thought about it. She wiped away her tears and said, "Think carefully about what I just said. If you don't want to marry me, it's not too late to regret it now."
Lin Tingfeng clenched his fists and said coldly, "Shihan, the imperial decree has been issued. It's better not to say such foolish words in the future."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Shihan said without hesitation: "You don't have to worry about the imperial edict."
Since she had a way to get the emperor to grant them a marriage, she naturally had a way to make the imperial edict invalid.
At worst, it’s just a matter of spending more money.
As long as she still has the ability to make money, Emperor Xuande would not be willing to touch her even if he dislikes her.
"That's ridiculous!" Lin Tingfeng threw his sleeves and asked gloomily, "What do you think of the imperial edict? Is this just a child playing house?
The Emperor's words are golden, and there is absolutely no reason to take them back."
He stared at Zhuang Shihan with cold eyes and said word by word, "Unless, you and I cannot live to fulfill our engagement."
