Chapter 17 Entering the Palace
When Zhuzhi and Zhuyu, who were standing on Song Yanxi's left and right, heard the word "divorce", their eyes turned red with anger and they almost couldn't help but rush up to tear his face apart.
No one should say such shameless words.
The crowd was also in an uproar.
Even in an ordinary family, there is absolutely no reason for a wife to be divorced unless she violates the seven grounds for divorce.
What's more, her husband went to war on the day of their wedding, and Song Yanxi managed the huge general's mansion alone for two whole years. When the news of her husband's "death in battle" came back, she even donated all the rewards and property in the mansion, determined to die with her husband.
Such a wise and loving woman was treated so badly.
The onlookers clenched their fists.
I've seen people who are unfaithful and ungrateful, but I've never seen anyone so blatant and shameless!
Song Yanxi was also shocked by Lin Tingfeng's shamelessness, and laughed in anger, "Even if the general didn't mention this, I also had this idea.
You and I are husband and wife in name only, not in reality. Since the general has found the love of his life, why don't we divorce and from now on, we have nothing to do with each other's marriage."
"Don't even think about it!" Lin Tingfeng refused without thinking.
He stared at Song Yanxi, who was completely different from the one in his memory, with a heavy gaze, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his chest.
Shihan was right to worry. Two years was too long. This woman probably couldn't stand the loneliness and had an affair with someone else. That's why she was anxious to divorce him as soon as she saw him.
Those people watching the fun outside the house might have been hired by her lover.
He thinks they are tired of living if they dare to cheat on him!
Song Yanxi frowned and was about to say something when an angry voice rang out from the door, "Feng'er, you must never divorce her!"
"Why did mother come out?" Lin Tingfeng looked at the old lady Lin with a grim expression, and quickly stepped forward to support her.
Madam Lin held his hand and said excitedly, "Feng'er, Yan Xi has waited for you for the past two years and it hasn't been easy. Now that you've returned safely, you should live a good life with her. Don't say such nonsense anymore."
Just looking at her appearance, if you don't know her, you would think she is a perfect mother-in-law.
Noticing Zhuang Shihan's unpleasant expression, Madam Lin realized her identity and said hurriedly, "You must be tired on the way back. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get home."
With that rosy complexion, he doesn't look like someone who is seriously ill.
After Mrs. Lin finished speaking, she turned to look at Song Yanxi with a kind smile, "Yanxi, good child, mother knows that you have been wronged. Don't worry, I will definitely take care of it for you."
After all these words, it seems that he wants both the inside and the outside.
Song Yanxi stood still, met her smiling eyes, and said calmly, "Mother-in-law, please forgive me for being unfilial. I cannot agree to your kindness."
"Yan Xi, why are you doing this?" Madam Lin almost couldn't hold back the smile on her face.
This whore thought she had hooked up with His Royal Highness Prince Jin, but now she can even say such nonsense as divorce.
Who is that person, His Royal Highness Prince Jin?
If she really was divorced and abandoned, let alone being taken into His Royal Highness Prince Jin's room, His Royal Highness would probably consider it unlucky even if she stayed by his side as a foot-washing maid.
Before Song Yanxi could speak, Madam Lin urged impatiently, "Go back home quickly. Don't stand here and make people laugh at you."
She wanted to say something else, but the people gathered in a circle spontaneously made way for her.
Seeing a group of people coming from afar, Mrs. Lin's face changed immediately. She pulled Lin Tingfeng and whispered a few words to him, then quickly ordered the people below to prepare the incense table to receive the emperor's order.
The one who was in charge of delivering the imperial edict was the father-in-law who had come last time. He immediately congratulated her, saying, "Great joy, old lady!"
"The Emperor was delighted to hear that General Lin had returned safely, and he specially sent me to invite the General and his wife to the palace to receive their reward."
Old Madam Lin twitched the corners of her mouth, but couldn't smile at all.
She had originally thought of letting Feng'er bring Princess Shihan back after dealing with Song Yanxi. By then, the palace would award her, and they would get married according to the imperial decree, bringing double happiness to the family.
As a result, Feng'er not only didn't receive the letter at all, but also brought the person back directly.
Now that the matter has come to light, they have become the party in the wrong.
If they divorced at this point, not only would they not be able to get the prostitute's dowry, but people would also inevitably say that Feng'er was a heartless and ungrateful person.
Her son has finally come this far, no matter who it is, don't try to ruin his future!
Madam Lin stepped forward and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help, Eunuch. Feng'er must be very tired from the journey. Could you please allow him to go downstairs and change into clean clothes before going to see the Emperor, so as not to disturb the Holy Cross?"
The eunuch's face darkened and he said coldly, "The Emperor has decreed that General Xuanlin and his wife must immediately enter the palace to see him."
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Zhuang Shihan, who was standing not far away, and said with a smile, "Princess Shihan, you are finally back in Beijing. The emperor was still talking about it a few days ago, saying that it has been a long time since he tasted the princess's cooking."
Zhuang Shihan forced a smile and stepped forward, saying, "My cooking skills are really not worth mentioning. It's rare that the Emperor likes it, so why not today..."
The eunuch interrupted her with a smile, "During the time that the princess has been away from the capital, the Duke and his wife have been very concerned about her. If the princess has nothing else to do, she should return home early to save them from worrying about her."
His words also represent the emperor's intentions.
Zhuang Shihan's face looked a little ugly. She looked at Lin Tingfeng with complicated eyes and reluctantly left with the people from the Duke's Mansion.
*
There were two carriages in the palace, one for the eunuch announcing the decree, so Song Yanxi could only ride with Lin Tingfeng.
As soon as she got on the carriage, she found a seat near the inside and sat down, closing her eyes to rest.
It’s not that she didn’t sleep well last night. On the contrary, Song Yanxi had the only good sleep she had in the past half month in the vegetarian room on the mountain.
She simply didn't want to see Lin Tingfeng's face, for fear that she would feel nauseous and vomit on the spot, staining her clothes.
Being disrespectful in front of the palace is a serious crime.
Lin Tingfeng had originally not intended to talk to Song Yanxi, but seeing that she was avoiding him like the plague, he immediately became furious.
He smiled coldly and said sarcastically: "Ben will come back alive. I am disappointed with you, right?"
Song Yanxi didn't even lift her eyelids.
She asked herself in her heart why she was so blind in the beginning. In order to save her life, she was determined to marry him despite her grandfather's opposition.
Now it seems that he is not only insidious and selfish, but also arrogant and stupid.
Enraged by her attitude, Lin Tingfeng reached out and grabbed Song Yanxi's neck fiercely.
His voice was cold, "Want to divorce me and live with that wild man? Song Yanxi, forget it!
You are a member of the Lin family in life, and you can only be a ghost of the Lin family in death!"
Song Yanxi suddenly opened her eyes, slowly curled her lips at him, and smiled brightly.
Lin Tingfeng was a little dazed, and the strength in his hands gradually loosened. The scene of her wedding day appeared in front of his eyes. She was wearing a red wedding dress and lifted the veil to look at him. Her beautiful appearance.
He had also fallen in love with Song Yanxi.
Song Yanxi is a rare beauty with a good family background, a gentle personality, filial piety and consideration. Which man can refuse her?
It's a pity that as a woman she is too conventional. Although she is a good candidate for a wife, she is far less charming than Shihan, who is straightforward and daring.
Just when Lin Tingfeng was still making comparisons in his mind.
Song Yanxi stared at him with a pair of black eyes, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she said in a light tone:
"Killing one's wife is a serious crime. If the general is tired of living, he should also consider how your Princess Shihan would cope if you were thrown in jail."
