Chapter 25 Princess Shihan, quite special
"Girl, you absolutely can't do that!" Zhuzhi spoke quickly.
She wanted to say something else, but saw Song Yanxi shaking her head at her.
Zhuzhi stamped his feet in anger, but in the end he didn't dare to go against her wishes.
Lin Tingfeng's expression softened considerably, and he said coldly, "A girl like this who doesn't follow the rules and is willing to offend her superiors should be sold off sooner rather than later."
Listening to the hurried footsteps behind him, Song Yanxi's face darkened and he said bluntly, "It's not someone else's turn to tell me how to manage my people."
"Bitch, you are simply unreasonable!" Lin Tingfeng swung his sleeves angrily, but accidentally pulled the wound on his shoulder. The pain made his face look even more ferocious than the dog in the backyard gnawing on a bone.
Song Yanxi didn't even look at him and turned away.
She was afraid that she would not be able to hold back and burst out laughing on the spot.
If that's the case, how can we watch the good show later?

In Fushou Hall, Mrs. Lin, who had woken up early in the morning and was lying in bed half-dead, suddenly became energetic when she heard her eldest daughter-in-law Zhou say that Lin Tingfeng had delivered the key to Song Yanxi's private vault last night.
She threw back the quilt and pretended to get out of bed.
Mrs. Zhou quickly stopped her and said, "Doctor Lu told my mother-in-law to rest well. If you need anything, just tell your daughter-in-law to do it."
Madam Lin pulled her hand back immediately, speaking impatiently, "What's the point of giving you orders? Can you earn merit for the General's Mansion, or can you be like that bitch...like Song Yanxi, and use her dowry to supplement the family income?"
"Mother-in-law..." Zhou couldn't help but redden her eyes, tears welling up in them.
As both of them are women, and living under the same roof as a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lin knows very well what words will hurt her, the eldest daughter-in-law, the most.
She said that on purpose.
Old Madam Lin has always been dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law Zhou.
Not only does she not have a prominent family background, she is also plain-looking, with no breasts and no buttocks. She has been in the mansion for several years but has not even given birth to a grandson.
If she had not been so obedient in the past few years and had not taken the initiative to pay for the boss to take in three concubines, she would have asked the boss to divorce her and leave the house long ago.
Seeing that Zhou was about to cry, Madam Lin's face darkened. "Cry, cry, cry! You've ruined the boss's fortune. That's why there's been no hope of promotion in the past few years!"
In her eyes, her two sons and one daughter are all outstanding people. Even if they are not outstanding now, they will definitely achieve great things in the future.
Zhou stopped crying and dared not say anything more, for fear that Mrs. Lin would take the opportunity to force her to take out her dowry to supplement the public income.
She was not as lucky as her brother's wife. She did not come from a prominent family and her in-laws were the richest in Da'an. On the wedding day, her dowry, which included jewelry, silk and other items, weighed a full sixty loads.
This does not include the countless farms, shops and properties that are not displayed openly.
People cannot be compared.
On the way to Song Yanxi's private vault with Old Madam Lin, Zhou was still sighing, thinking that her sister-in-law was too silly and naive.
Now that things have turned out like this, it is inevitable that the couple will separate. If she gives away all the dowry that was meant to support her, how can she have a good life in this mansion in the future?
Zhou thought about it and secretly decided that she would help Song Yanxi more in the future, as a way to repay her for her kindness in the past, and also to find some comfort in this heartless general's mansion.
Her thoughts were flying away when she was brought back by a scream that almost blew the roof off.
Madam Lin looked at the few boxes standing alone in the middle of the huge warehouse and trembled with anger. "Bitch, this bitch!"
Zhou looked at the situation in front of her and was unable to react for a moment.
She remembered that when the family was making new clothes a few years ago, her sister-in-law brought her to pick out the fabrics, and the entire warehouse was filled to the brim...
Looking at those boxes again, the clothes and jewelry inside were valuable, but they looked familiar.
Zhou murmured to herself, "Isn't this what my younger sister-in-law gave to my third sister..."
"Pa!" Madam Lin slapped him hard with her backhand...
She stared at the stunned Zhou with cold eyes and threatened: "You didn't see anything today."
Zhou covered half of her face and nodded woodenly.
It was not until Old Man Lin and his men left and she looked at the empty warehouse that she reacted.
My sister-in-law has been staying indoors for more than half a month since the day her second brother "died in battle".
Before, it could be said that they had a deep brother-sister relationship, and they were so heartbroken that they were sick and couldn't get up, but now the second brother has returned...
Something connected in Zhou's mind.
She covered her face with a handkerchief, and just as she walked out of the storeroom, she saw her husband, who was supposed to go straight to his new lover's courtyard after court, striding towards her with a gloomy face.
Before she could explain, Lin Tingye angrily said, "You've pissed off my mother so much that she's sick. Go get the remaining ginseng from your private vault and five hundred taels of silver."
Zhou opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
Lin Tingye flicked his sleeves and turned around, saying without even turning his head: "Until mother recovers, you can stay in her room and take care of her. There is no need to return to the courtyard."

In Lingxi Pavilion, Zhuzhi laughed so hard that his teeth were showing after hearing the news brought back by Zhulu.
She gently massaged Song Yanxi's shoulders and sighed, "It seems the old lady is really furious this time. Even the general was turned away when he came to visit."
"The relationship between them as mother and son is much deeper than you think." Song Yanxi didn't think that there was really a rift between the mother and son, as he was the one who dared to entrust his mother with such a task as murdering his wife.
He's behavior seemed more like she was angry.
Thinking of something, Song Yanxi asked Zhu Lu, "Are there any guests at the General's Mansion today?"
Last night, she handed over the key to the private vault in front of so many people in the mansion, and returned from Lin Tingfeng's yard in a daze. I guess everyone outside knows everything they should know.
Zhu Lu said, "I heard that Princess Shihan is here."
"What is she doing here?" The other three bamboos spoke at the same time, each expression more subtle than the last.
As an unmarried girl, even if she was engaged to Lin Tingfeng, she should have avoided such a crisis.
Zhuzhi blushed and said hesitantly, "This Princess Shihan is really quite special."
This was the only slightly nicer word she could think of.
Song Yanxi took a sip of tea and said calmly, "This is what the general likes."
As soon as she finished speaking, the eyes of the four bamboos fell on her.
Song Yanxi nearly choked on her tea and asked with disdain, "Is your daughter's taste that bad?"
Zhuzhi Zhuyu hurriedly shook her head and said repeatedly, "Very good, the girl has good taste."
Zhuguo Zhulu is an honest person who won't lie. He just looks at her silently.
After realizing that her words didn't seem very convincing, Song Yanxi coughed lightly and changed the subject: "Zhuzhi, have you made any progress on the matter I asked you to investigate last time?"
