Chapter 142 Not as Shameless as You
Lin Tingfeng was about to explain when he heard someone shouting from afar, "Dinner is ready!"
Zhuang Shihan gave him a fierce look and turned away.
After walking a few steps, she met a soldier who was coming towards her and greeted her, but she ignored him and walked away with a gloomy face.
A soldier scratched his head and asked his companions, "Which of you made the princess angry?"
Several people shook their heads at the same time.
Just then, a man from the kitchen passed by and called a few people aside. He said mysteriously, "Let me tell you, Princess Shihan is..."
"That's impossible. Princess Shihan is so kind, and they are both military doctors. How could she possibly do this?"
"Yeah, isn't it the kitchen's job to take care of the meals? It's not her business. Besides, everyone knows that Chang Jiu is the grandson of Doctor Chang. She definitely wouldn't do that."
The man from the kitchen quickly reached out to cover their mouths, his eyes filled with horror as he asked, "Have you forgotten how Doctor Chang died before?"
Several people looked at each other and fell silent.

During dinner, the soldiers ate the meat in their bowls while expressing their gratitude to Mo Jinchuan and Song Yanxi.
Especially the soldiers under Cheng Duan, when they heard him say that the money for buying meat today was paid by Mo Jinchuan and Song Yanxi themselves, they spared no effort to convey this news to the brothers around them.
They were happy not only about the meat tonight, but also about something that no one dared to say out loud but everyone knew.
His Royal Highness Prince Jin is just as the rumors say, he cares about his soldiers and treats his brothers as human beings.
Zhuang Shihan sat by the fire, listening to the chatter of the crowd with a look of disdain: "It's just a few pieces of meat, it's like you've never eaten a meal in your life."
"Princess Sihan is wrong."
Song Yanxi walked to the opposite side of her and sat on the ground, holding the same food as the soldiers.
In the past half month, she has gone from having difficulty swallowing and having to rely on the wild game hunted by An Yi to being able to eat half a bowl without batting an eyelid.
As for the taste, I can only say that it won’t starve you to death.
Zhuang Shihan rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "Everyone can put on a show. I just don't have your level of scheming."
She gritted her teeth and asked, "Are you at ease spending the money you cheated and defrauded?"
Song Yanxi smiled and asked, "When have I ever spent a single ounce of silver from the princess?"
Not only did she not spend any money, she even put in some money and donated it after rounding up the total amount.
It would have been better if she didn't say it. When Zhuang Shihan thought about how Song Yanxi used her money to gain so much reputation for herself and even had a seat in front of the emperor, she hated her even more.
If she told others about it, she was afraid of being laughed at.
Seeing Zhuang Shihan remained silent, Song Yanxi changed the subject and asked, "How did that child offend the princess? Please tell me, and I will make him apologize to you."
"I don't know Chang Jiu, and I don't know what you are talking about."
Zhuang Shihan stood up with a cold face, eager to leave.
Song Yanxi suddenly raised her voice, "When did I ever say his name was Chang Jiu?"
At that moment, all the soldiers who were sitting on the ground and busy eating turned their heads to look.
Zhuang Shihan gritted her teeth, sat back down, and said in a low voice, "I don't know that kid, why would I embarrass him?"
"That's exactly what I wanted to ask."
The military booklet recorded that Chang Jiu signed up on his own a few days before the army set out. He was rejected by the army because of his poor medical skills. He happened to be met by Liu Dazhuang and was reluctantly allowed to stay and help in the kitchen.
They had never met before, let alone offended each other.
So why did she dislike him?
Song Yanxi didn't think that Zhuang Shihan would be so petty as to hate Chang Jiu and want to kill him just because he handed her water a few times and helped her with a few words.
There must be something among these that An Yi has not yet found out.
Zhuang Shihan's eyes flashed, and she said impatiently, "I didn't do anything to Chang Jiu. If you really have evidence, then go and complain to His Royal Highness Prince Jin instead of just opening your mouth here."
As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something and said with a sarcastic smile, "Look at my memory. I almost forgot that you have a close relationship with His Royal Highness Prince Jin."
She smiled ambiguously, leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice, "Why don't you try to persuade him and see if His Highness Prince Jin will punish me for you?"
Song Yanxi's fair face was filled with shame and anger, "I'm not as shameless as you."
Zhuang Shihan scoffed and said nonchalantly, "You know shit! I'm an independent woman with modern-day thinking. I follow my heart in everything. I do whatever comes to my mind and acknowledge it when I've done it. I would never say one thing to your face and another behind your back like you do."
She winked at Song Yanxi and said mischievously, "Just to ask a question, His Royal Highness Prince Jin's kung fu is pretty good, right?"
Although Song Yanxi felt that she would not be able to say anything good, she still replied: "His Royal Highness Prince Jin joined the army at the age of sixteen and has made great achievements in battle. His martial arts skills are beyond reproach."
Seeing her serious look, Zhuang Shihan covered her stomach and laughed, almost crying.
She lowered her voice and said, "Why are you pretending? I don't believe you don't know what I'm asking."
Song Yanxi really didn't know at first.
But when she looked at Zhuang Shihan's ambiguous smile, she suddenly understood.
Her face turned cold instantly, and she couldn't hide her disgust in her eyes.
Zhuang Shihan rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "They're sleeping in the same carriage, and you're still pretending to be so serious. It's really funny."
Song Yanxi was amused by her malicious speculation and asked directly, "Princess Shihan is used to having sex without a matchmaker, so she thinks everyone should do the same as you, having sex without a matchmaker?"
Her voice was not loud, but it instantly angered Zhuang Shihan.
"Why are you pretending to be so noble? His Highness Prince Jin is a man of integrity and ruthlessness in his military management. If you hadn't seduced him, how could he have broken the rules and allowed a woman like you to join the army?"
Song Yanxi asked back with amusement: "I am a woman, then what are you?"
Zhuang Shihan blurted out, "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you compete with me?"
That condescending look and arrogant tone were so arrogant.
It seemed as if nothing was worthy of her attention.
Having accidentally spoken the truth, Zhuang Shihan felt annoyed for a moment, and there was more pity in her eyes when she looked at Song Yanxi.
She was sympathizing with her.
I sympathize with her misfortune of being a girl and being born in this era.
She felt even more that she was unlucky, marrying a husband who didn't like her, not being liked by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and now she had met such an excellent rival in love.
She is rich, beautiful, and has status, and she understands what men want better.
Why should Song Yanxi compare with her?
