Chapter 209 Your whole family is gigolos!
Xi Lin's eyes were filled with even more anger. Just as he was about to retort, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him.
Song Yanxi's cold voice sounded immediately afterwards.
"Besides spreading rumors about others having affairs, can Princess Shihan come up with something new?"
Zhuang Shihan looked up, the ironic smile in her eyes not diminishing. "It's only been a while since we last met, and you're already following me eagerly. It seems this new pretty boy you met is really to your liking."
Xi Lin cursed bitterly, "Who are you calling a gigolo? Your whole family is a gigolo!"
He gritted his teeth, raised his hand and slammed the hand that was pinching his chin down, and said with disgust: "How dare anything touch me? It's so dirty."
Even though there was a layer of cotton cloth between them and their skin didn't actually touch, he still got goosebumps out of disgust.
What's wrong with this woman?
She actually touched a strange man in public. She didn't feel embarrassed and he was afraid that she was sick!
"Who do you think you are? How dare you..." Zhuang Shihan was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped him hard in the face.
The next moment, someone grabbed her wrist.
Seeing Xi Lin not dodging at all, Song Yanxi frowned and asked, "Are you hurt?"
Xi Lin nodded, and his nervousness disappeared instantly when he saw An Yi following him. The place on his waist where he was hit seemed to hurt even more.
He glared at Zhuang Shihan and deliberately provoked her, "Come on, if you have the guts, beat me to death today!"
As long as she dared to slap him, her position as princess would be over.
Zhuang Shihan was irritated by his arrogance. She pulled her arm but couldn't break free from Song Yanxi's shackles, so she raised her other hand to slap him.
Song Yanxi warned coldly: "My Lady, it's best for you to think carefully before you act."
Not to mention the current status of the Xi family in the medical community, there is also an old imperial physician named Xi in the palace who has been specializing in regulating the health of the ladies in the harem for many years and is highly respected.
After all, she grew up in Beijing, how could she have never heard of these?
Zhuang Shihan's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and she blurted out, "I'll beat him up, but he's just a quack doctor. How dare he disrespect the princess personally appointed by the emperor? Even if I drag him away and beat him to death, it's normal."
Just as she was about to do it, the patient next to her who had been silent said hurriedly, "Princess, you must not do this!"
He rushed forward, reaching out to help Xi Lin but didn't dare to move. He said with a look of panic, "I really didn't know you were Divine Doctor Xi. If I knew, I wouldn't push you away no matter what."
After he finished speaking, he knelt down under Zhuang Shihan's puzzled gaze and burst into tears, "It's my fault for not recognizing Mount Tai. Doctor Xi, please hit me, but don't hold a grudge against me."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped himself with astonishing strength.
After one slap, five finger marks immediately appeared on his face.
"What's wrong with you?"
Zhuang Shihan frowned and tried to help him up.
The man quickly avoided her outstretched hand, as if he wanted to immediately draw a line between them.
Hearing him still muttering about how magnanimous he was and begging Xi Lin to forgive him, Zhuang Shihan suddenly laughed out of anger.
She looked at him with disdain and said, "You have never seen the world. You can be scared like this by a quack doctor. Do you think you are a man?"
The man asked in a panic, "How could the princess not know about the Xi family?"
Zhuang Shihan: "Should I know?"
She knew all the princes and nobles in the capital, including how many people were in each family.
As for the West Family and the East Family, I have never heard of them.
How could they, no matter how powerful they were, be greater than the imperial power?
Seeing Zhuang Shihan's eyes full of disdain, Song Yanxi confirmed again: "Does the princess really not know?"
Zhuang Shihan blurted out, "If I say I don't know, then I don't know. Aren't you tired of asking me all the time?"
As she spoke, her scrutinizing gaze fell on Xi Lin, and she commented, "But you have good taste. Although this pretty boy's words are not very pleasant to the ear, he is still decent looking."
If Xi Lin hadn't been afraid to stand up rashly due to the injury on his waist, he would have rushed to her and spit in her face.
If his handsome face can only be considered barely presentable, then her brother Feng is hideously ugly!
Not only is he no match for Mo Jinchuan in terms of martial arts and strategy, he can't even beat An Yi. He's a complete coward. I don't know what she likes about him. She treats him like a treasure and wants to snatch him away from others.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He spoke before Song Yanxi could, "You're right. Her vision is indeed better than yours. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so eager to follow her around and pick up what she doesn't want.
They don't even open their eyes to see, they are scrambling for anything dirty and smelly."
As soon as these words were spoken, a sigh was heard outside the door.
It turned out that the patients waiting outside were attracted by the noise and spontaneously gathered in a circle to watch the excitement. When they heard such exciting words, they couldn't help but make a sound.
"Are they talking about General Lin? Hasn't he always been in love with Princess Shihan?"
"You're ignorant, aren't you? The one in bamboo green clothes is Old Master Yan's granddaughter, the daughter of the Marquis's family, and also a princess. She was General Lin's first wife, whom he married in a sedan chair carried by eight men."
"Ah, then the princess has been deceived. General Lin never said that he has a wife."
"What are you deceiving me? These two are just willing to fight and be beaten. General Lin even used his military achievements to force the emperor to grant them a marriage, saying that he would let them enter the palace as equal wives!"
"I know about this. I heard that even before the imperial decree granting the marriage came down, Princess Shihan's eighty-load dowry had already been delivered to the general's mansion."
Everyone was talking at once and soon the atmosphere became lively.
Zhuang Shihan's face flushed red when she heard this, and she glared at Song Yanxi and asked, "Is this fun?
You were the one who didn't want to divorce Brother Feng before, but now you're pretending to be bullied and pitiful. You're such a hypocrite."
Song Yanxi didn't answer but asked, "Whatever Lin Tingfeng says, you believe it?"
Zhuang Shihan naturally didn't want to believe it.
But now her relationship with Lin Tingfeng has become known to everyone. She even sent her dowry to the general's mansion and has long been tied to him.
In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them are now one.
When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer.
So even if she didn't believe it in her heart, she had to believe it on the surface.
Otherwise, if there is any rift between the two of them, someone with ulterior motives will take advantage of it and, while they are apart, spy on some secrets that must not be made public.
Once the truth is revealed, it will not only be the Lin family who will lose their heads, but she and the Duke's Mansion will also have no chance of getting away with it cleanly.
Zhuang Shihan bit her lower lip and lowered her voice, "Do you have to make such a scene so embarrassing that no one can get out of this situation?"
