Chapter 82: Women are the most vicious!

Zhou was stunned, looking at the old lady with a strange look in her eyes, and asked tentatively, "Mother-in-law, are you confused? Aunt Zhang passed away the day before yesterday."

"Gone? Where did she go?" Madam Lin felt a little dizzy and subconsciously said, "Could this old woman be lazing around somewhere again? Hurry and call her over."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone in the general's mansion changed.

Someone whispered, "The old lady is really possessed. Aunt Zhang has been dead for four days and has been buried."

Lin Tingfeng, who had recovered, followed suit and said, "My mother is now unconscious. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all."

Getting a hint from his eyes, Zhuang Shihan hurried over and knocked the man unconscious with a needle before Madam Lin could speak.

After seeing her acupuncture technique clearly, Song Yanxi's eyes suddenly darkened.

Could it be that Zhuang Shihan is...

Yan Qing supported her and said in a low voice, "Xi'er, don't be soft-hearted. Lin Tingfeng is definitely not a good man."

Song Yanxi came back to her senses, patted her hands to reassure her, then picked up a handkerchief dipped in chili water and wiped the corners of her eyes in front of her, and tears as big as beans rolled down instantly.

Glancing at the dark handkerchief in her hand, which was completely different from her usual preference, Yan Qing immediately understood something and patted her shoulder, saying, "Don't be afraid, Xi'er. Your mother is here today. Even if the incident comes before the emperor, she will definitely not let this kind of people humiliate you again."

"Why do you say that, mother-in-law?" Lin Tingfeng stepped forward and explained, "What my mother said just now was all nonsense and should not be taken seriously. When she wakes up, I will bring her to apologize and ask for forgiveness from you and my father-in-law."

Yan Qing's face suddenly darkened.

Everyone in the capital knew that Song Huai'en had been living in a separate courtyard all these years. Except for the two days when his daughter became a nun and when she returned home, he had never returned to the Marquis' Mansion even during the holidays.

Was her good son-in-law reminding her that even if there was a quarrel, the Marquis would not support Xier?

But in the eyes of outsiders, that bastard Song Huai'en is his father-in-law, so there is nothing wrong with what he said, and she can't refute it even if she wants to.

What a good calculation!

Before Yan Qing lost his temper, Lin Tingfeng softened his tone and said, "Today's matter is entirely due to my son-in-law's poor planning. I caused my wife to suffer injustice and caused my mother-in-law to feel distressed. This is really wrong.

After today's birthday banquet is over, I will apologize to my mother-in-law, how about that?

Seeing her beloved's humble appearance, Zhuang Shihan felt a fire burning in her heart. She couldn't help but look at Song Yanxi and asked, "You and Brother Feng are husband and wife after all. How could you bear to watch your mother embarrass him like this?"

Yan Qing's face immediately darkened, and he asked with a sneer, "Since Lin Tingfeng and my son are husband and wife, what about you? Why are you standing here?"

If she had not been restrained by her good upbringing, she would have wanted to ask who this person who was standing up for her son-in-law was!

One lady couldn't help laughing, and used this as a negative example to quietly remind her daughter that she must behave uprightly and that even if she became a concubine, she must abide by the rules and be carried into the house in a grand manner.

Instead of being together with someone without a matchmaker, even if you shamelessly ask the emperor for permission to marry, you will still be despised.

Several little girls who used to admire Zhuang Shihan and regarded her as their life goal were now ashamed and annoyed, wishing they could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

As Zhuang Shihan listened, her face turned red and white, and her lower lip was almost bitten off.

Lin Tingfeng couldn't bear to see her being wronged, so his body reacted faster than his brain. He pulled her behind him to protect her, and said in a strong tone: "If mother-in-law has any dissatisfaction, you can come to me. Don't make things difficult for Shihan."

If it were someone else at this moment, Yan Qing would praise him as a real man and a responsible person.

Too lazy to waste time talking to him, Yan Qing asked directly, "What's that drug your mother mentioned just now?"

She remembered Taohua, who had followed Xier back to the Marquis' Mansion once before. She looked like a simple and honest person, but she never expected that she was actually a poisonous snake raised by the mother and son.

Lin Tingfeng's eyes flickered, his expression unchanged, "I've already said it's nonsense, how can you take it seriously?"

Yan Qing sneered, "You say it's nonsense, so it's nonsense? Where's the evidence?"

"Evidence?" Lin Tingfeng changed the subject and asked, "Mother-in-law is convinced that Taohua drugged Madam. Do you have any evidence?"

"You!" Yan Qing was extremely angry, but he couldn't refute.

If she hadn't heard it with her own ears just now, she would have had no idea that her daughter had suffered so many injustices in the general's mansion, let alone the matter of the drug.

But she knew her relative's character very well, and this kind of dirty thing that was not worthy of being made public did seem to be her work.

Looking at Lin Tingfeng, who seemed to be confident of victory, Song Yanxi asked quietly, "How do you know, General? We can't produce any evidence."

Lin Tingfeng blurted out: "Impossible!"

The Taohua people are all dead, there is no evidence, so where does the evidence come from?

When Lin Tingfeng met Song Yanxi's cold and calm eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and his original certainty dropped to eight points.

Thinking of his own mother, who had never been reliable, his heart sank and a bad premonition came to his mind.

The Song family dared to be so confident, they must have sufficient evidence in their hands.

So during this period of time, she was not as he thought, unwilling to break up with him and hiding from him, but was silently accumulating strength and waiting to give him a fatal blow.

It turns out that women have the most vicious hearts!

Lin Tingfeng gritted his teeth in hatred, but dared not show it on his face. He only said with disgust, "If you want a divorce letter, I will write it to you. There is no need to make a big fuss about a piece of nonsense and make people laugh at you."

After hearing his shameless words, everyone, whether they knew the situation or not, fell silent.

Madam Qiu said in a voice that was not loud but loud enough for everyone to hear, "Living long brings extraordinary experience. Look, now this face can be used to build a city wall."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Zhuang Shihan looked at her angrily.

Before she could say anything else, Lin Tingfeng scolded in a low voice: "Shihan, don't be rude, this is Madam Qiu."

Zhuang Shihan blurted out, "I don't care if she's Madam Qiu or Madam Dong. She's not a good person if she speaks so rudely."

As she spoke, she looked Madam Qiu up and down, frowning and saying, "I don't think you will live long. You'd better be more virtuous in your words, or you will suffer retribution."

As soon as these words were spoken, the courtyard became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone watched Mrs. Qiu with bated breath, fearing that she would not be able to breathe and pass out from anger.

Madam Xu supported her and looked at Zhuang Shihan coldly, "I've always heard that Duke Jingguo has a daughter who behaves erratically. Now that I see her, I realize she really doesn't understand any etiquette or rules at all!"

Zhuang Shihan had a recognizable impression of this face, but couldn't recall which family's wife it was. She couldn't help but retort, "You're always talking about rules and regulations. Which family's rules say that you can't even meddle in your own affairs, yet you're trying to get involved in other families' affairs?"

"What a sharp-tongued girl."

"Unlike you, you are still so worried at your age. Aren't you afraid of getting old too quickly?"

"You!" Mrs. Xu covered her chest with her hands, her face even uglier than Mrs. Qiu's.

Song Yanxi hurried forward, took out a bottle of pills from her sleeve, opened it, poured out two pills and gave them to the two to take.

The two took it and were about to put it in their mouths when they saw a figure rushing forward and knocking the medicine bowl out of their hands.

"You dare to eat anything? Are you trying to kill yourself?"
