Chapter 108 Turns out he’s your son-in-law
Outside the city gate, Lin Tingfeng, wearing silver-white armor, rode on a tall horse, holding a sword in his hand with an imposing manner. The aura around him made it almost impossible for people to open their eyes.
This is what a young hero should look like.
Zhuang Shihan got off the carriage and saw that everyone was standing on tiptoe to look at the man she had chosen. She felt a sense of pride rising up in her heart.
She was about to say something when Duke Jingguo, who had gotten off another carriage, coughed heavily and looked at her with a warning look.
The look in her eyes clearly said, "If you dare to embarrass others again today, I will disown you as my daughter."
Thinking of the oath that Duke Jingguo forced her to kneel in the ancestral hall and take last night, Zhuang Shihan snorted angrily.
I really don't know who his biological daughter is. Not only did he warn her not to bully Song Yanxi along the way, he also asked her to take good care of her when they were at the border.
It's so funny!
Where is the battlefield?
She was a rich lady who had never done housework. Instead of staying in the house to embroider, she recklessly rushed to the battlefield. It was normal for her to get injured and bleed.
Fortunately, she had previously thought that Song Yanxi was a man of integrity, someone who could take things as they came, and someone who was worthy of respect.
Now it seems that she is just a hypocritical person who says one thing in front of her and another behind her back. She wants to compete with her but pretends to be so. She doesn't deserve her sympathy at all.
Duke Jingguo looked at the ministers and common people waiting on both sides, and his face darkened. "Shihan, go and call him down."
"Who are you talking about, Daddy?" Zhuang Shihan pretended not to know.
Duke Jingguo gritted his teeth and said stiffly, "General Lin."
Zhuang Shihan suddenly understood and said with a smile, "I was wondering who Daddy was talking about. Turns out it was your son-in-law."
Duke Jingguo's face suddenly turned cold, "Shut up!"
He was a martial artist and had been keeping fit for many years. Even though he was already over 50 years old, he still spoke with full energy, which was particularly abrupt amid the whispers of the people.
Countless pairs of eyes looked over in an instant.
When the ministers saw that Duke Jingguo, who had been ill and had not attended court for a long time, had actually come, they hurried forward to greet him and pay their respects.
"Duke Jingguo, it's been a long time since we last met. How are you feeling these days?"
"Everything is fine. Thank you for your concern." Faced with the greetings from his colleagues, Duke Jingguo's face turned red and he finally managed to utter a word.
It's all his fault for not educating his daughter well, allowing her to become so willful and reckless. He really feels guilty towards the girl.
As the ministers took their positions, before Duke Jingguo could exchange a few words with his colleagues, someone said in a very low voice, "Duke Jingguo's lifelong reputation has been ruined by this woman who is eager to get married."
"Are you going to die? If that damn princess hears this, she'll at least lose your legs."
"A pair of legs isn't enough, I'll have to sew your mouth shut too!"
Immediately afterwards, a burst of laughter was heard.
Duke Jingguo couldn't stand it any longer and turned around to find the person who was talking to argue, but was quickly stopped by his colleagues.
"Duke Jingguo, please don't get angry. Take care of your health and don't listen to the nonsense these people are talking about."
"Yes, Duke Jingguo, why should we care about them? They are just people with nothing better to do. They like to talk about other people's private affairs for fun. These words are just rumors and should not be taken seriously."
Several people were trying to persuade him, but their expressions were indescribably subtle.
This was a hero who had fought thirty people alone on the battlefield. He was the Duke of Jingguo. They might only get to see this once in their lifetime. How could they let him go?
It cannot be said that they disregarded the friendship between colleagues. Now, everyone in Beijing knows that he has raised a good daughter.
The people are talking silently, and it is impossible to stop them.
Duke Jingguo's face flushed crimson, and before he could say anything, he heard someone say, "That general is so shameless! Look at him sitting on his horse, so smug. To those who know, he's going to war, but to those who don't, they think he's already won a victory."
"You're right, one is heartless and shameless, and the other only cares about her husband and parents. These two are really a perfect match!"
"I can tell you haven't had much education. We're a perfect match."
"What you two gentlemen said is truly brilliant!"
Lin Tingfeng was far away and could not hear clearly what the others were talking about. He only vaguely heard words like "a perfect match made in heaven" and "a perfect match".
When he thought that they must be talking about him and Zhuang Shihan, Lin Tingfeng's smile grew wider, and the word "pride" was almost written on his face.
"Idiot!" Duke Jingguo was so angry that he covered his chest with his hands. He felt a severe pain in his heart and his vision went dark.
Just as he was thinking that this heart attack might make him look foolish in public, a cold female voice suddenly rang out, "Are you feeling unwell, Duke?"
The people around him then noticed that Duke Jingguo looked unhappy and quickly supported him.
Duke Jingguo reluctantly waved his hand and said weakly, "It's okay."
Hearing that he was short of breath and seeing that his face was turning blue, Song Yanxi quickly stepped forward, said "I'm sorry", and put her hand on Duke Jingguo's wrist.
"You woman, why did you start fighting while you were talking?" the official on the side scolded coldly.
Qiu Yuanzheng was attracted by the noise and asked with a frown, "What are you doing, girl?"
Recognizing his voice, Song Yanxi lowered her voice and said, "Duke Jingguo has a sudden heart attack. Sir Qiu, please help me."
"County..." Qiu Yuanzheng saw that Song Yanxi's face was covered with a veil, and immediately understood something. He said seriously: "Everyone, don't panic. This girl is a living miracle doctor. She will never harm the Duke of Jingguo."
Upon hearing that it was a doctor, Duke Jingguo forced himself to say "thank you" and leaned on his colleague beside him, having already fainted.
Song Yanxi quickly took out the heart-nourishing pills she had prepared in advance, pried open Duke Jingguo's mouth, and was about to feed them in.
"What are you doing!" Zhuang Shihan's sharp voice sounded behind her.
Song Yanxi ignored her and fed the pill directly.
The next moment, he caught a glimpse of a leg kicking towards him.
She did not rush to dodge, but instead fell heavily to the side when Zhuang Shihan's foot was about to kick her.
Zhuang Shihan kicked in vain and almost fell down because she didn't stand firmly, which made her very angry.
Turning around, he saw Qiu Yuanzheng and the others busy helping Song Yanxi, and couldn't help but sneer, "It's just a green tea girl faking a fall, look how anxious you are."
"Princess Shihan, please be careful with your words!" Qiu Yuanzheng's face immediately turned cold.
People didn't understand what green tea meant, but they knew what faking a fall meant.
The sleeves of Song Yanxi's coat were wide today, so no one knew whether the kick had hit the real target except Zhuang Shihan and herself.
In the eyes of others, she kicked someone.
Some of the onlookers couldn't stand it any longer and snorted coldly, "This Shihan, you're a princess, but she rushed up and attacked without any reason, hitting someone and then accusing them of faking a fall. How shameless is she!"
