Chapter 156
Zhuang Shihan laid out her analysis, only to hear him decisively deny it: "Absolutely impossible!
She has been weak since childhood, and apart from recuperating in the Marquis' Mansion, she has been recuperating in the Yan family. She has not stepped out of the house for several years."
He guessed, "Maybe it's because of long-term illness that one becomes a doctor?"
Zhuang Shihan glanced at him and said sarcastically, "She's been in good health these years. The swelling from the slap she gave you hasn't gone down for several days.
As for her mental body, it is clear that her physical body cannot be better.
Those who know her think she is a daughter of a wealthy family who has never done anything dirty, while those who don’t think she is a shrew who came from nowhere and even dares to hit her own husband.
Lin Tingfeng's face darkened and he warned, "I'll say it again, don't mention this matter again."
Zhuang Shihan sneered, "Lin Tingfeng, you will regret it sooner or later."

Two days later, the army arrived at the border town in the afterglow of the setting sun.
The commander of the border town and his men were waiting at the door, all of them looking excited.
Behind them were the people lining the streets to greet them, and everyone, young or old, male or female, had a happy smile on their face.
After two and a half years, the prince they had been looking forward to finally returned!
"It's the prince and the others!"
Someone shouted, and everyone excitedly took a few steps forward as they saw a large army appearing in their sight not far away.
But they seemed to suddenly remember something and stopped together.
An elderly man said, "Everyone, be careful. The prince hasn't been back for two years. Don't let him think he's entered a bandit's den when he gets off the carriage."
As he spoke, he glared at his granddaughter who was crowded among the girls and warned her, "Don't let your wishful thinking go on. How could a man like His Royal Highness Prince Jin be interested in a little girl like you?"
When the girls heard this, they immediately looked melancholy and sighed.
They were feeling miserable when they suddenly heard someone say, "I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Jin brought a woman with him this time."
"What? His Royal Highness Prince Jin has a princess?"
"She's not some princess. She has a husband at home."
"Bullshit!" The old man who had just spoken pounded the ground with his cane and shouted angrily, "Where are the men of Border Town? How dare you, a scoundrel, slander His Royal Highness Prince Jin?"
Without the old man's instructions, several men rushed forward and held down the shifty-looking man.
His face was slammed to the ground. The man struggled in fear and explained, "You have no right to take me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of leather boots stopped in front of him, and the voice was cold, "Then am I qualified?"
The man raised his head with great effort and blurted out, "You are just a deputy general of the Hushan Camp. How can you have the right to arrest people in the border town?
Where is General Xu Xiao, the border town garrison commander? I want to see General Xu!"
When he finished speaking, Qiu Zongping stepped directly on his head, bent down slightly and said coldly: "You talk too much."
Realizing that he had let the cat out of the bag, he became determined to bite his tongue to commit suicide.
Qiu Zongping kicked him directly in the chin. After a crisp "crack" sound, he ordered, "Take him away and keep an eye on him. Don't let His Royal Highness Prince Jin see anything."
He turned around, with his back to the crowd, and straightened his collar, which was not even wrinkled at all, and the leather belt around his waist that symbolized his military status. Then he turned around with a cold face and faced the crowd again.
Although he exudes an aura of "keep away from strangers", people who know him can easily see the excitement and nervousness he suppresses in his eyes.
I haven't seen you for two years. I wonder how Your Highness is doing.

"Didn't Aunt Qiu say that General Qiu has been training troops in the Hushan camp?" Song Yanxi was a little surprised.
If she remembered correctly, she could go back and forth in a day by riding a fast horse, so how could they not have seen each other for more than two years?
Mo Jinchuan nodded his chin slightly, and said with a half-smile: "It seems that you and Madam Qiu get along very well."
"My aunt has a cheerful nature and hates evil. Your Highness has met her before and should know that it's hard not to like someone as sincere and kind-hearted as her."
Song Yanxi was grateful to Mrs. Qiu.
If I had to find a fault, it would only be that she was too enthusiastic, making it feel difficult to repay the favor when getting along with her.
In fact, it is indeed difficult to pay it off.
Mo Jinchuan raised the corner of his lips and asked, "What kind of temperament do you think the son born to Mr. and Mrs. Qiu will have?"
Song Yanxi thought for a moment and said seriously, "He's cold on the outside, but warm on the inside, and doesn't talk much."
"So sure?" Mo Jinchuan raised his eyebrows.
She is a meticulous person who always makes decisions after careful consideration. Why is she so careless today?
Song Yanxi nodded without hesitation, and under Mo Jinchuan's probing gaze, she said quietly, "Lord Qiu is upright and honest, and my aunt is bold in love and hate, and is kind and warm-hearted. The child they raise will definitely have similarities with them."
"Then why not do it the other way around?" Mo Jinchuan asked.
After all, Mrs. Qiu has a cheerful personality. If I were like her, I would definitely not be a talkative person.
Song Yanxi forced a smile, "Your Highness, why do you ask when you already know the answer?"
If she hadn't stopped him these past two days, Cheng Duan, who had tried to talk to him several times along the way, would have been thrown off the carriage long ago.
He likes quietness, and everyone in the army knows it.
But General Cheng was impatient, and since he couldn't ride a horse, he had no place to vent his energy. He would talk to him about almost anything related to the war.
Not to mention His Royal Highness Prince Jin, even she could hardly bear it.
Just as she was thinking, Song Yanxi saw the curtain of the carriage being lifted, revealing Cheng Duan's excited face, "Your Highness, the old and young people in the border town have all come out to welcome us!"
He sighed, "They say beauties emerge from border towns, and it's absolutely true!"
Mo Jinchuan said calmly: "General Cheng has good eyesight."
Cheng Duan slapped his thigh and said, "They are all dressed up so extravagantly that you can see them from two miles away. If you don't believe me, Your Highness, just take a look and you will know."
Song Yanxi looked up and saw the girls in brightly colored dresses in the crowd.
Although I couldn't see her specific appearance clearly from a distance, it was not difficult to imagine her gorgeous appearance. Girls in their twenties were as tender as flower buds, how could they not be beautiful?
She was thinking this in her heart when she suddenly heard someone speak out what was in her heart.
Cheng Duan chuckled, "Your Highness Prince Jin is truly blessed with beautiful women."
Mo Jinchuan glanced at Song Yanxi, and seeing that she was listening, he said directly: "Let General Cheng enjoy this good fortune."
"That won't do!" Cheng Duan refused decisively. A suspicious blush appeared on his dark face. He said, "I already have a fiancée."
Mo Jinchuan asked: "Is she the one you like?"
Cheng Duan nodded hurriedly, and said angrily, "If I had no interest in him, I certainly wouldn't have come to propose marriage. Wouldn't that be the behavior of an animal?"
Song Yanxi's lips curled up when she heard this, and she almost couldn't help clapping and cheering.
Can talk more!
"Then how do you know that I don't have anyone I like?"
