Chapter 164 You are so good, Lin Tingfeng, you forced me to do this!
"Bang!" Zhuang Shihan knocked over the rouge and powder on the table with her backhand.
She looked at the reflection of Lin Tingfeng in the bronze mirror, sneered and said, "Brother Feng, don't forget, I just helped you a little bit in that matter. Even if the truth comes out, I am just an accomplice.
As for what happened before that, I don’t know anything.”
Lin Tingfeng was extremely angry, but he was choked by her and couldn't answer.
If that matter were to become public, it would not be as simple as dismissal from office and confiscation of property. The heads of all nine generations of his family would be chopped off.
He suppressed his anger and softened his tone, saying, "I was just anxious at the moment. Don't take it to heart. Everything I'm doing now is so that I can marry you as soon as possible and plan for our future."
Zhuang Shihan smiled more, but her eyes were cold and gloomy. "Brother Feng, your promises are useless to me. You know I won't fall for them."
As she spoke, regardless of how ugly Lin Tingfeng's expression was, she sarcastically said, "No matter how anxious you are, you have to wait until tomorrow morning. You can't ask me to knock on His Royal Highness Prince Jin's door in the middle of the night, right?"
Thinking of something, she couldn't help but look at it with disgust. "I'm not a casual woman like Song Yanxi. She hooked up with His Royal Highness Prince Jin before we even divorced. Now, just arrived at the border town, she's seduced the young general so much that he wants to give her all his family fortune. She's really capable."
Lin Tingfeng's expression became increasingly grim, and he subconsciously said, "There might be some misunderstanding here."
"Misunderstanding?" Zhuang Shihan sneered and couldn't help but ask back, "You're all men. If it were you, without any other ulterior motives, would you give such a good thing to a married woman you just met for the first time?"
Of course not.
But Lin Tingfeng didn't remember that the two of them had talked when they entered the city in the evening.
After hearing what he said, Zhuang Shihan immediately retorted, "Can't we just express our feelings through our eyes?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Tingfeng's face darkened. "Shihan, you're being unreasonable. General Qiu knelt down the moment he saw His Royal Highness Prince Jin, and never once raised his head to look at Song."
"General Qiu?" Zhuang Shihan frowned and couldn't help asking, "Are there many people with this surname serving as officials in the court?"
"Not many. Apart from Qiu Yuanzheng of the Dali Temple, there's only one editor in the Hanlin Academy with the surname Qiu. I haven't heard of any military commanders in their family."
As soon as Lin Tingfeng finished speaking, he heard Zhuang Shihan say bitterly, "He really is the son of that short-lived ghost!"
"Who is this short-lived ghost?"
Qiu Zongping looks like his aunt who married far away in his early years, and does not resemble his parents. Lin Tingfeng did not associate them together at first.
Zhuang Shihan glared at him unhappily, "Who else could it be? It's the sickly kid from Qiu Yuanzheng's family."
Lin Tingfeng blurted out: "Shihan, did you admit your mistake?"
"Absolutely not!" Zhuang Shihan gritted her teeth and said, "His arrogant look is exactly like that short-lived ghost. There's absolutely no way I could be mistaken."
No wonder even though his appearance was exactly what she wanted, she just couldn't like him. His words sounded so annoying.
It turns out that the problem lies at the root.
Lin Tingfeng frowned and said with some disapproval, "Mrs. Qiu is just a little outspoken and doesn't hold back. She doesn't have any bad intentions. Why did you curse her with such vicious words as a short life?"
Zhuang Shihan frowned and asked, "You mean, I'm the evil one?
When it comes to viciousness, I'm far inferior to you and your son!"
"Why do you have to say it so harshly?"
"If you think it's unpleasant, then just don't listen. No one is holding a knife to your neck to force you to do anything."
Zhuang Shihan couldn't help but sneer and said sarcastically, "Song Yanxi is very eloquent and everything she says is pleasant to the ear. Why don't you go find her?
No matter what, you two are a married couple who have prayed to heaven and earth and walked the path of enlightenment, right?"
Lin Tingfeng's expression grew increasingly gloomy, and he practically squeezed out a word through his teeth, "Do you really have to do this?"
Zhuang Shihan was already angry, and when she heard that he not only didn't coax her but also threatened her, she became even angrier.
When she thought about the many quarrels they had had along the way, how Lin Tingfeng's patience had become less and less, and how he had even inadvertently sided with Song Yanxi several times, she felt that she couldn't bear to live like this for even a day.
In her two lifetimes combined, when had she ever suffered such injustice?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Zhuang Shihan pointed at the door and blurted out, "If you don't like it, just get out. Who cares about you?"
Lin Tingfeng clenched his fists, veins bulged on his forehead, and gritted his teeth, "Don't regret it."
Zhuang Shihan has always been soft-hearted and does not respond to harshness. Seeing that he still maintained this attitude, she felt a buzzing in her head and grabbed something on the table and smashed it hard at him.
She thought Lin Tingfeng would hide, and the latter thought it was just a quarrel and she would not resort to violence.
There was a muffled "bang" sound, Lin Tingfeng put his hand to cover his forehead, and warm liquid overflowed from between his fingers.
The candlelight in the room was dim, and Zhuang Shihan couldn't see clearly and thought it had hit somewhere else. She urged with a cold face, "Why don't you leave? Don't keep people waiting."
According to her thinking, since the person didn't leave directly, he was playing hard to get and waiting for her to surrender on her own initiative.
In a relationship between a man and a woman, the one who admits his mistake first is the humble one, and bowing once means bowing every time.
She is the one who has the right to refuse, and she must not indulge him, otherwise how can she be the master of the household after marriage?
Zhuang Shihan looked at Lin Tingfeng's back and counted three, two, one in her heart.
After reading the last number, she frowned impatiently, thinking that was enough, he was really putting on airs with her.
She was about to speak when she heard Lin Tingfeng's cold voice, "Then it will be as you wish."
After he finished speaking, he strode away.
Zhuang Shihan sat there in a daze for a few seconds before she realized what he meant.
She chuckled twice and said loudly and stubbornly, "If you have the guts, don't ever come back!"
There was silence outside the door.
Did he really leave like this?
Zhuang Shihan shook her head and muttered to herself, "Song Yanxi has already cheated on him, how could he possibly go to her? He's already too disgusted by her to care."
She said this, but she didn't feel comforted at all.
Because it was so quiet outside.
"No, this is impossible..." Zhuang Shihan murmured, suddenly stood up and strode out.
The moment before she walked out of the room, she was still thinking that she would definitely scold Lin Tingfeng when she saw him, and she must not let him develop the habit of turning his face away at every turn.
She is his partner, not his mother, and has no obligation to spoil him.
But when she saw that there was no one in the yard, her anger was completely washed away by a bucket of cold water.
Lin Tingfeng, he actually just left like that?
Zhuang Shihan took a step forward to chase after him, but after two steps she suddenly stopped.
She stared at the empty doorway and said bitterly, "You bastard Lin Tingfeng, you forced me to do this!"
