Chapter 196 Is My Brother Going to Die?
General's Mansion.
When Lin Tingfeng woke up drowsily, he was startled when he saw the figure beside the bed.
He blurted out: "Who!"
Zhuang Shihan said coldly, "Besides me, who else would come to see you, a general who's been put on a leash?"
He had been worried about her the whole day at home, but he didn't expect her to be ridiculed when they met. Lin Tingfeng's face suddenly darkened.
Zhuang Shihan took out a tinder and lit the candle, and the dim room was instantly illuminated by the warm yellow candlelight.
Seeing his dark face, she immediately asked angrily: "Why, is it wrong for me to keep you in the house because I'm afraid you'll be in danger?"
Lin Tingfeng said coldly: "That's not what I meant."
Zhuang Shihan naturally knew this in her heart.
But when she thought about how she had such a good opportunity today to get rid of Song Yanxi with the help of others but failed, she gritted her teeth in hatred.
It won’t be easy to find a way to do this without getting your hands dirty next time.
Seeing that her face was not right, Lin Tingfeng asked: "Did you have an argument with her again?"
Before Lin Tingfeng could open his mouth to lecture her, Zhuang Shihan immediately said, "If you dare to say a word for her again, I will kill her!"
Hearing this, Lin Tingfeng's eyes showed a hint of anger. He clenched his fists and asked, "How many times do you want me to tell you before you believe that there's nothing going on between her and me?"
Zhuang Shihan said with a cold face: "I don't care about these."
The most important thing now is to find a treatment method before Song Yanxi and the others.
By then, she will be the adopted parent of all the people in this city, and even the people in the Great Security Department.
With such a great achievement, let alone being a general's wife, even if she wanted the position of the next queen, it would be easy for her to get it.
"Shihan, did something happen outside? Why are there more guards at the General's Mansion today than usual?"
Hearing Lin Tingfeng's voice, Zhuang Shihan's face suddenly darkened, "You left the house?"
Lin Tingfeng explained, "I was originally planning to pick you up at the gate, but just as I arrived at the gate, I ran into General Xu's deputy general. He was vague and couldn't explain the whole thing."
Zhuang Shihan hummed and said perfunctorily, "Nothing. General Xu announced that His Royal Highness Prince Jin had been assassinated, so he definitely had to put on some effort."
Without waiting for Lin Tingfeng to ask anything, she changed the subject and said, "By the way, there have been a lot more patients at the free clinic in the city in the past two days than before. I might be very busy these two days, and I might not be able to come back if it's too late at night."
"Shihan, are you hiding something from me?"
Facing Lin Tingfeng's questioning gaze, Zhuang Shihan suppressed her anger and said with a forced smile, "What could I possibly be hiding from you?"
As she spoke, she changed the subject and asked, "Brother Feng, didn't we agree not to hide anything from each other?"
"Of course." Lin Tingfeng's eyes were dark, and he said meaningfully, "I, Lin Tingfeng, have a clear conscience and have absolutely nothing to hide from you."
"Me too."
Zhuang Shihan walked forward, hugged Lin Tingfeng gently, and whispered, "Brother Feng, please wait a little longer. We will soon finish dealing with this and then go back to get married."
Thinking of the grand occasion they had imagined together, Lin Tingfeng's eyes softened a lot. He patted her back and said, "Thank you for your hard work during this period."
"It's not hard. I'm doing this for our future."
Hearing these extremely familiar words, Lin Tingfeng felt extremely uncomfortable for a moment.
He is a man, but now he needs his woman to take care of things outside. It is a disgrace to his ancestors.
Zhuang Shihan didn't notice his expression and asked casually, "Brother Feng, has anyone come here today?"
"General Xu came and said that his adopted daughter really liked the kite you brought from the capital, so..."
Zhuang Shihan suddenly raised her voice, "You gave it to him?!"
Lin Tingfeng frowned, "That's your favorite thing, how can I give it to someone else?"
Thinking of that extremely ugly kite, he said with a strange expression: "That thing is too ugly. I have put it away. I'd better not take it out again before returning to Beijing.
You usually have a good eye for picking things, why…"
Before Lin Tingfeng could finish his words, he saw Zhuang Shihan turned around in shock and ran out with her skirt lifted up.
He quickly got out of bed to chase after her, but just as he put on his shoes, he saw Zhuang Shihan coming back.
She smiled at him and said, "I almost forgot. I don't need this thing anymore."
Facing Lin Tingfeng's suspicious look, she said, "It's not a big deal. If General Xu mentions it again, I'll just give it to them as a favor."
"Don't you like it?"
"Oh, I liked it before, but not now."
Zhuang Shihan has always been like this. No matter how much she likes something, she will feel it is no longer new after two days and will not touch it again.
Lin Tingfeng has long been accustomed to this.
He took out a letter from under his pillow and said, "A letter from the capital urges us to act as soon as possible."
Zhuang Shihan scoffed, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "It's only been a short time. It's strange that someone with such a temperament can accomplish anything."
As she spoke, she took the letter and burned it without even bothering to look at it.
Noticing Lin Tingfeng's look, she said perfunctorily, "I understand. I won't take the initiative to do it next time.
Besides, I did that for you. The secret guards around His Royal Highness Prince Jin are not to be trifled with."
"Do you think I'm afraid of him?" Lin Tingfeng laughed.
Zhuang Shihan couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly, then smiled brightly and said, "He's just a servant, why bother with him?"
When Lin Tingfeng heard this, his face suddenly became darker.
Was she implying that he couldn't even defeat a servant?
*
The little beggar's brother had a high fever after drinking the resurrection soup. His whole body was as hot as a stove and he couldn't be touched at all. He also had convulsions with his hands and feet twitching continuously.
Song Yanxi kept wiping his body with an ice towel, but the temperature never dropped. The towel became scalding hot as soon as she put it down.
If the fever continues like this, even if I can survive tonight, I will become a fool because of the continued high fever.
Xi Lin was so angry that he started cursing, "Zhuang Shihan is such a heartless person! How dare she use such a strong medicine when she has such a weak foundation? Isn't she afraid of retribution?"
If she was afraid, she wouldn't have done that.
The little beggar who had fainted from exhaustion was awakened by the noise here. He sat there in a daze, unable to react for a moment to what the words "retribution for strong medicine" meant.
Xi Lin turned his head and met his confused eyes, and was immediately startled.
"you……"
"Is my brother going to die?" the little beggar suddenly asked.
He seemed to have anticipated something, and he didn't cry or make a fuss. He just calmly watched Song Yanxi's busy back.
She was trying very hard to save her brother, and he could feel it.
He actually heard everything they said when they were discussing the prescription just now, half asleep and half awake.
Looking at the young beggar's tender face, Xi Lin couldn't bear it and sighed, "Your brother..."
Song Yanxi paused holding the handkerchief and said in a deep voice, "Tell him the truth. You can't lie to him forever."
