Chapter 87: Thieves in the Mansion

"What?" Zhuang Shihan's face turned pale in an instant.

She has been married to Brother Feng for a long time, and more than once. How can she still be innocent?

Lin Tingfeng's expression also changed. He didn't understand why Princess Huayang, who usually didn't even care about the affairs of her own young people, would keep harping on this matter.

What did Song say to her?

Sensing the resentful gaze, Song Yanxi raised her eyes and looked at him, with a calm look in her cold eyes.

Everyone looked at her, and then looked at the two people who were so anxious that they were sweating and could hardly kneel down. It was obvious that they had something to hide. The balance in their hearts was inevitably tilted.

Zhuang Shihan gritted her teeth in hatred, tugged at Lin Tingfeng's sleeve, and whispered, "Brother Feng, please think of a solution!"

She was not afraid of other people's gossip, but her old-fashioned father would be so angry that he would die if he knew that she was examined in public.

The old man was quite nice to her, and she would need him a lot in the future.

Lin Tingfeng stared at Song Yanxi with serious eyes, as if he wanted to see something from her face so as to think of a response.

But he was destined to be disappointed.

Although today's incident was related to Song Yanxi, Princess Huayang was definitely not invited by her.

The birthday gift she prepared hasn't been served yet.

But she thought she should be able to guess why Princess Huayang was angry.

People only know that the eldest princess lost her son at an early age and has devoted herself to Buddhism since then, and has never given birth to another child. However, they do not know that she has been living in a separate courtyard from her husband's wife since her son had an accident.

That prince consort was just like her scumbag father, who only wanted to live off her. Thinking that the eldest princess had married him and had a son, he took his cousin in as a concubine.

The eldest princess was magnanimous and did not bother with the two of them. However, she did not expect that the concubine became ambitious after she became pregnant. She bribed her fellow townsman to poison the incense, causing the eldest princess's son to be bedridden for many days and eventually die of coughing up blood.

When Song Yanxi and his disciple saw the imperial edict, they were already filled with hatred and there was no way to save themselves.

Knowing that someone had poisoned her, Princess Huayang took drastic measures. She tied up the person as soon as she found out. In front of her husband, she dug out the concubine's fetus and forced him to eat it. She also personally destroyed his penis and imprisoned him in another courtyard.

Those who witnessed all this that day were silenced.

If Song Yanxi's master had not noticed something was wrong and taken him away in time, he would have become one of the many dead souls.

In her previous life, Princess Huayang admired Zhuang Shihan because she felt that she was similar to her in her youth in terms of daring to love and hate, and she happened to have many ways to please her.

Moreover, when the two of them returned, Song Yanxi had already died, so she could not be considered to have stolen someone else's husband.

But this time, Zhuang Shihan has been under strict supervision by Duke Jingguo since returning to Beijing. She has no chance to go to the princess's mansion, let alone show her skills.

In the eyes of Princess Huayang, she is now just a woman who behaves improperly, steals someone else's husband and behaves arrogantly. How can she tolerate this?

What she hated most in her life was a lowly concubine who didn't know her own identity!

Glancing at Song Yanxi who was still kneeling there, Mo Jinchuan said calmly, "Aunt, calm down. Don't get yourself hurt by getting angry."

Princess Huayang looked at him, her eyes filled with regret. "I was so angry just now that I forgot you were here too. I let this dirty thing stain your eyes."

Thinking of something, she ordered in a cold voice: "I don't want to hear any gossip about what happened today."

Everyone hurriedly responded.

This kind of shameful thing is so disgusting that just hearing about it makes my ears feel dirty. Who would talk about it?

Princess Huayang replied calmly, "Let's all go back."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Yanxi and Song Xubai stood up one after another, helped Yan Qing up, and invited the ladies and noble girls to walk out.

Seeing her calm demeanor, Princess Huayang nodded in appreciation and said to Mo Jinchuan beside her, "Lin Tingfeng is so lucky to have married a good wife."

Mo Jinchuan responded indifferently without even glancing at Song Yanxi.

It seemed as if the two had never had any intersection.

Princess Huayang couldn't help but sigh, not knowing what she was thinking about, and said lightly, "What a pity."

Song Yanxi walked out with the group, listening to everyone's words of comfort, and responded one by one with red eyes.

If the burning sensation in the corners of her eyes had not yet subsided, Mrs. Qiu might have thought that she was very sad when she saw her sincere expression.

She turned around to look at the eldest princess and the others who had no intention of leaving, and lowered her voice and said, "Yanxi girl, listen to your aunt's advice. You can't stay in a family like this."

Madam Xu also said, "That Princess Shihan is no ordinary person. She dares to climb over your head before even entering the house. I don't know how she will bully you in the future."

As she spoke, she smiled apologetically at Yan Qing and said, "Madam Hou, please don't blame us for being too talkative. It's really because Yan Xi is such a lovable child.

We've all been through this before. Wouldn't this family, who see it as a fire pit at first glance, ruin half of my daughter's life?"

Yan Qing forced a smile that was uglier than crying and said, "You two ladies have seen my son-in-law's attitude today. If he refuses to give in, let alone a divorce, I can't even divorce him."

The mother and daughter looked at each other, and their expressions made people feel even more sad.

The other ladies and young ladies who were traveling with them listened silently. Although they didn't say anything, they all felt sorry for what happened to Song Yanxi.

Second Miss Xu came forward, took her hand, and said angrily, "Sister Song is such a good person, how can she stay in such a family? Won't she be tortured to death by them sooner or later?"

Everyone witnessed Madam Lin's attitude just now.

For a woman, getting married is like a second life. She has to deal with complaints from her mother-in-law and displeasure from her husband. Now a concubine who has not even entered the family dares to be so arrogant. It is hard to imagine how miserable her future life will be.

Song Yanxi bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes determined as she said, "I will definitely divorce him."

Hearing her say this, the ladies who had been holding back and not daring to speak all started talking at once.

It's not that they want to meddle in other people's business, it's just that the general's mansion is going too far. Who doesn't have sisters or daughters?

Among the crowd of voices, Mrs. Qiu's voice sounded particularly firm.

She said, "Yanxi girl, with what you said, your aunt will definitely help you escape from this hell."

The other ladies also nodded in support.

Although they were women and could not see the emperor on weekdays, every family had a man who was an official, and it was just a matter of writing memorials.

Besides, with Lord Qiu here, even if the General's Mansion holds a grudge, it cannot be blamed on them.

Song Yanxi's eyes were red. She placed her hands at her sides and bowed politely, saying gratefully, "I will never forget the kindness of all the ladies."

Seeing her like this, everyone felt that their choice was right.

The group hurried out. Just as they reached the archway, they saw a person dressed as a maid running over in a panic. When she saw Song Yanxi, she knelt down with a thud.

"Madam, something bad has happened! Thieves have broken into the mansion and kidnapped the young lady!"
