Chapter 78 Song Yanxi, are you plotting against me?
Hearing this name, Zhuang Shihan's expression instantly turned ugly, and she gritted her teeth and asked, "Song Yanxi, are you plotting against me?"
"Not really." Song Yanxi looked frank, without any intention of hiding anything.
Zhuang Shihan thought to herself that this was not good, and the next second she heard her say, "The princess and the general came uninvited today. I think they must be here for the same thing."
They both said in unison: "No."
One voice sounded a little flustered, the other's anger mixed with a hint of bitterness.
Zhuang Shihan was afraid that Song Yanxi would say something else, so she quickly turned around and strode to Lin Tingfeng. She took his arm and said in a friendly tone, "Brother Feng, why are you here? Didn't Auntie say that your injuries haven't healed yet and you need to rest for a while?"
"It's okay now." Lin Tingfeng said calmly.
Sensing that he was in a bad mood, Zhuang Shihan bit her lower lip and explained, "I was just joking with my sister, but I didn't expect her to take it seriously."
Hearing her polite address, Lin Tingfeng's expression eased slightly.
On the way here just now, he was thinking that Song had a strange temper and was arrogant, and Shihan was a darling who had been pampered by Duke Jingguo and his wife since childhood. He was afraid that the two would start fighting if they disagreed.
One is his wife, and the other is the woman he loves. He doesn't want to see either of them get hurt.
Song Yanxi's gaze fell on Zhuang Shihan's smiling face, and she said sarcastically, "Your Highness, I'm afraid you called the wrong person. My mother only gave birth to me and her brother, but she didn't have any younger sisters."
Zhuang Shihan's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.
Lin Tingfeng tried to smooth things over, saying, "Shihan will be coming home soon. You will have to call me sister sooner or later."
Hearing him say this, Zhuang Shihan felt sour in her heart.
She thought of something and pretended to be wronged and asked, "Sister, you don't want to agree to my request. Are you angry with me and Feng Ge and don't want me to come in, or do you still want to divorce Feng Ge?"
"Shihan, don't talk nonsense." Lin Tingfeng's face turned cold and he pulled back his arm.
Zhuang Shihan's eyes were red, and tears were clearly welling up in her eyes.
Before returning to Beijing, Brother Feng kept saying that he had no feelings for Song Yanxi and would divorce her sooner or later. What is he doing now?
Fearing he might hurt Zhuang Shihan's feelings, Lin Tingfeng bluntly said, "Madam, our mother's fortieth birthday party is coming up early next month. My eldest sister-in-law isn't fully recovered yet, so planning the party will likely be your responsibility."
He looked at Zhuzhi and ordered, "Go and help Madam pack some clothes. From today on, Madam will move back to the General's Mansion."
Upon hearing this, Zhuzhi did not move an inch.
Her daughter hasn't spoken yet, so his opinion doesn't count.
Lin Tingfeng's face turned slightly cold. Just as he was about to teach her a lesson, he heard Zhuang Shihan beside him volunteer, "Feng'er, why don't you let me take care of organizing the birthday banquet for your aunt?"
He frowned and refused decisively: "This is against the rules."
Since ancient times, those who take care of household affairs are mostly the mistress of the house. At the very least, it is the old lady of the house or the sister-in-law who is also the wife who takes care of the affairs.
Not to mention that Shihan hasn't married yet, even if the two of them got married, there is absolutely no reason to let a concubine organize the mother-in-law's birthday party.
Zhuang Shihan was unwilling to give in. She bit her lower lip and said, "I've previously assisted the palace ladies in organizing the Queen's birthday banquet. Perhaps I can be of some assistance."
Hearing this, Lin Tingfeng couldn't help but be moved.
My mother has been depressed these days because of the deprivation of her imperial edict. She has lost a lot of weight and has been complaining all day long that she is worried that not many people will be willing to attend her birthday party, which will make her unable to hold her head up in the circle of ladies in the capital.
Those women with long hair and short knowledge are the best at flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. If they heard that the person planning the birthday party was Zhuang Shihan, they would definitely give Duke Jingguo some face.
Thinking of this, Lin Tingfeng's mood suddenly improved a lot.
He said with a look of relief, "With you here to share my worries, Madam will have less work to do. If there's anything you don't understand, just follow Madam's instructions."
Zhuang Shihan nodded quickly with a well-behaved look on her face.
Looking at the two people singing in unison, Song Yanxi sincerely felt that the two of them were a perfect match and deserved to be a couple.
Meeting her playful eyes, Lin Tingfeng suddenly realized that she hadn't said anything at all and had been watching the show.
He was furious and shouted at Zhuzhi, "Did you ignore my words? What are you still standing there for? Get down and pack your things."
Zhuzhi glanced at Song Yanxi, and seeing that she didn't express her opinion, he continued to remain motionless.
Afraid that she would impulsively agree to move back, Zhuang Shihan quickly advised, "Brother Feng, calm down. The Princess's Mansion and the General's Mansion are only across the street from each other. It won't affect me whether I move back or not."
Hearing this, Lin Tingfeng's expression couldn't help but become a little ugly.
If he hadn't forced his way in just now, he probably wouldn't have been able to even get through the gate of the Princess's Mansion, let alone the General's Mansion.
Noticing the gloom that flashed across his eyes, Zhuang Shihan thought of something and gritted her teeth, saying, "I'll discuss the preparations for the birthday banquet with Sister Tingxuan. You only need to attend the banquet on the day itself."
"That's great." Song Yanxi spoke before Lin Tingfeng.
Someone is eager to be a sucker, why shouldn't she help her?
In front of Zhuang Shihan, Lin Tingfeng couldn't say anything more. He looked at Song Yanxi meaningfully and took her away.
After the two men left, the other three bamboos came forward quickly and started to complain in a flurry.
Among the ten sentences, eight of them were scolding Lin Tingfeng for being heartless and shameless.
Song Yanxi couldn't help but say something fair.
"Their precious flesh and blood is in our yard. If it gets bumped or bruised, how can he feel at ease if he doesn't come in and take a look with his own eyes?"
Zhuzhi said quietly, "Miss, it doesn't look like the general is here for Princess Shihan today."
The other three bamboos nodded, agreeing with her.
The general's eyes were glued to their girl, and Princess Shihan's jealous eyes were about to spit fire. It was difficult for them to pretend not to see.
Thinking back to Lin Tingfeng's complicated look, Song Yanxi felt nauseous and ordered, "Tomorrow, go find a human trafficker and buy a few more people who know martial arts. If anyone tries to break in again, beat them out without any notice."
Zhu Yu helped her up and asked casually, "Miss, are we still preparing gifts for the old lady's birthday banquet this year?"
"Of course I have to prepare something." Song Yanxi curled her lips, a cold look in her eyes, "After all, we are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. As a daughter-in-law, I should prepare a generous gift for her. It can be regarded as a fulfillment of the friendship we have had for the past two years."
"Girl, you..." Hearing the hidden meaning of these words, Si Genzhu suddenly became excited.
For more than a month, they saw that Song Yanxi didn't mention this matter, and they didn't dare to mention it rashly to make her unhappy, so they were really worried for a while.
Especially since they just saw that Lin Tingfeng showed an attitude that was completely different from before, they were even more afraid that their daughter would be soft-hearted and be deceived by his hypocritical appearance.
Looking at the few people who were hesitant to speak, Song Yanxi sneered and said, "Of course we have to divorce, but we are not the ones who should be anxious."
