Chapter 10 I Can't Stay Any Longer
Song Yanxi's calm gaze swept across Madam Lin, who was furious, and fell on Aunt Zhang, who was also full of indignation behind her.
When his owner is happy, he is happy; when his owner is angry, he is angry. What a good dog.
When Aunt Zhang was stared at by her, she felt goosebumps on her back and felt uncomfortable all over.
She puffed out her chest and said righteously, "It was this old servant who did it. The Second Madam has been in too much grief lately and has no time to discipline the servants. This old servant was just teaching that ignorant fellow a lesson for you."
“Bang!”
As soon as she finished speaking, a crisp slap sounded throughout the yard.
Aunt Zhang only felt stars in her eyes, buzzing in her ears, and a burning pain on her face.
Song Yanxi swept her sharp eyes over everyone and said coldly, "For the sake of Third Miss's reputation, I won't pursue what happened today! But it's not someone else's turn to teach the people in my courtyard a lesson!"
At this moment, Madam Lin felt like her lungs were about to explode with anger.
This little bitch Song Yanxi has really grown up. Not only did she beat her people and slap her face, she also dared to threaten her!
But for the sake of her daughter, she had to swallow her anger.
Lin Tingxuan looked at the cold Song Yanxi and was so angry that her gums bled and her palms were broken.
This little bitch plotted against her and even threatened her!
If she were alive, I would have held her as my weakness for the rest of my life.
Lin Tingxuan's heart was boiling with rage. She couldn't hold it in any longer and suddenly rushed towards Song Yanxi, "Song Yanxi, you bitch, I'm going to kill you!"
"Sizzle—"
But before she could touch Song Yanxi, the cloak she had hurriedly wrapped around her was stepped on by someone, and her movement tore it apart.
The sound of cloth tearing was heard, and everyone saw a white scene in front of their eyes.
"ah--"
Lin Tingxuan screamed and subconsciously protected her body.
There was only panic in her eyes, and the blood drained away from her face bit by bit, until she looked as pale as a dead person.
"If you don't want to die, close your eyes!" Song Yanxi snorted coldly, quickly took off her cloak, squatted down and covered her body exposed to the air.
Everyone turned around, fearing that the unexpected disaster would befall them.
Song Yanxi stood in front of her, but Lin Tingxuan seemed to see through her and saw the contemptuous and mocking looks from the people around her.
The laughter and chatter around her seemed to be getting louder and louder. Finally, she couldn't bear the pressure anymore and fainted with her eyes rolled back.
Madam Lin's lips trembled, and her voice was incoherent. "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and help the Third Miss back to her room."
The maids and old women hurried forward, using their hands and feet to wrap up Lin Tingxuan and carry her out.
It was dark and I couldn't see the road clearly. I tripped when I reached the door and almost threw the person out.
Madam Lin forced a smile on her face, walked forward, took Song Yanxi's hand, and said earnestly: "My dear child, it's my fault. I believed the slander of that little bitch and almost misunderstood you.
You have been sad and worked hard recently because of Feng'er's matter. Thank you for your hard work. Mother has two kilograms of the best blood swallows. I will have someone send them to you when I get back so that you can take good care of yourself.
Your third sister is young and doesn’t understand things…”
"Mother-in-law, what are you talking about? I haven't seen Tingxuan today." Song Yanxi smiled and pulled her hand out of hers, speaking earnestly, "Mother-in-law, don't worry. I understand your intentions. Now that the general is away, we must work together as a team and not let others see us as a laughing stock."
Madam Lin also smiled, "Of course."
She turned her head, her eyes suddenly fierce, "Come here, take that slave who tried to murder the general's wife and beat him to death with sticks!"
After saying this, she didn't even bother to maintain a facade and led her men away with a gloomy face.
After the people walked away, the four bamboos surrounded them all at once, each with a happy smile on their face.
Song Yanxi's expression relaxed as she instructed, "I have to go out for something. Zhuguo and Zhulu, please guard the door. Don't let anyone in until I come back.
If anyone asks, I will say that I have been overworked recently and am too sick to get out of bed and see anyone."
"And..." Song Yanxi whispered a few words to Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, young lady, I will definitely not let her die!"
Zhuzhi trotted back to the house to get a cloak, then caught up with Song Yanxi, "Miss, it's getting late and the dew is heavy. I'll go with you."
Song Yanxi thought about it and nodded in agreement.
If she wants to accomplish anything, she needs help, and she can't keep the things between her and Mo Jinchuan hidden from these four bamboos forever.
While no one was paying attention, Song Yanxi took Zhuzhi and went out the back door in the dark.
Under the moonlight, an ordinary green-covered carriage was parked not far away. There was no driver, and the horse kicked its legs and shook its tail from time to time, obviously having been waiting for a long time.
The curtain of the car was lifted, and there was no one inside.
Song Yanxi squeezed Zhuzhi's hand, lifted her skirt and got into the car.
Just as the master and servant were sitting firmly, a steady male voice suddenly rang out from outside the carriage curtain, "Miss, sit tight."

Half an hour later, Lanxuan Courtyard.
Mrs. Lin listened to her daughter's heart-wrenching cries in the room and said gloomily, "Did you see it clearly?"
"See clearly, see clearly!"
Nanny Zhang grimaced in pain, her face twitching. "I saw it all! Second Madam was so anxious she didn't even change her clothes before leaving the house with that bitch Zhuzhi!"
"Madam, I waited until the carriage had left before I dared to look out. It was heading east of the city. Tell me, who else would dare to drive a carriage on the road at this hour?"
If she hadn't left something behind and had to go back to look for it, she would have missed this great show.
"This lowly whore! No wonder His Royal Highness Prince Jin, who has always lived in seclusion, would go to worship Feng'er specially. Are they really bullying the fact that my Lin family has no one?" Old Lady Lin gritted her teeth.
“Bang!”
The string of Buddhist beads in his hand broke, and the fine sandalwood beads rolled to the ground.
Nanny Zhang bent down to pick it up with concern, but Old Madam Lin raised her hand to stop her.
Her eyes were cold and she said hatefully, "Since the things are broken, we can't keep them."
Aunt Zhang's eyes flashed, and she instantly understood that she was referring to the Buddhist beads, but more importantly, the person.
She lowered her voice and said, "Don't worry, old lady. The door of our general's mansion is easy to leave but difficult to enter."
Madam Lin slowly closed her eyes and said with a look of reluctance, "After all, we are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Before sending her away, find her a few more young and strong men to serve her well."

At Prince Jin's Mansion, guards holding lanterns were already waiting outside the back door.
The carriage stopped, and Song Yanxi lifted the curtain with her bare hands, an apologetic look on her face. "Something happened at the mansion and delayed us, Your Highness, and I'm sorry to have kept you waiting so long."
The guard said politely, "Madam General, you are too kind. My master is waiting for you. Please come this way."
Song Yanxi got off the carriage and instructed as she walked, "The prince's leg disease has been going on for a long time, so a medicinal bath is essential. I need the people in the mansion to prepare enough hot water, the more the better."
It was almost dawn, and she had little time left, so she couldn't afford to waste it.
Song Yanxi followed the guards and turned a few corners along the long corridor. Suddenly, the originally dim scene in front of her eyes became as bright as day.
Brighter than the candlelight in the yard is a figure sitting quietly at a round table, holding a military book.
For a moment, Song Yanxi actually felt that the figure in front of her revealed a hint of loneliness.
The next moment, she smiled.
As noble as His Royal Highness Prince Jin is, what in the world could make him feel this way?
When Mo Jinchuan turned his head and looked over, he caught that hint of color and smiled faintly, "It seems that Madam is in a very good mood tonight."
