Chapter 27 Her Heart Is No Longer in the General's Mansion
A quarter of an hour later, Zhou took the five hundred taels given by Song Yanxi and left with a cold face.
Zhu Yu couldn't help feeling distressed when she looked at the table full of food.
It was rare that the girl had an appetite today, so all the ingredients were delivered by Juweizhai. Just that pot of soup contained seven or eight kinds of precious warming and nourishing Chinese medicinal herbs.
It's such a pity that it fell...
It’s all the lady’s fault. She didn’t come earlier or later, but chose to come when the girl was having lunch. Isn’t this obviously disgusting?
Amused by her painful expression, Song Yanxi said, "The food hasn't been touched yet, hurry up and bring the bowls and chopsticks over before the food gets cold."
Zhu Yu's expression instantly turned from gloomy to bright, and he quickly asked the other two bamboos to sit down and eat.
Compared with the initial rejection, fear and even anxiety, it took Si Genzhu less than half a month for him to be able to sit at the main table with Song Yanxi calmly and freely to have a meal.
Yes, this may be a little against the rules.
But the girl said that for her, her words are the rules.

In the study of the General's Mansion, Zhuang Shihan burst into laughter after hearing the servant's words, "After all, she is the granddaughter of the richest man in Da'an and the legitimate daughter of the Yongchuan Marquis Mansion. She can actually afford a mere five hundred taels of silver.
Isn't this clearly humiliating?"
Lin Tingfeng waved his hand, dismissed the servant, and then said helplessly, "Song is such a narrow-minded person, always nitpicking.
She sold everything in the house, and even made her mother sick because of her. Now, even her eldest sister-in-law, who has never offended her, has been bullied like this."
He asked, "Shihan, do you still think that my mother and I are cruel?"
Zhuang Shihan bit her lower lip lightly and said nothing.
During this time at the General's Mansion, she vaguely understood one thing.
It seems that Feng Ge's wife, the general's wife, does not have much romantic feelings for him.
Song Yanxi is only eighteen years old, which is still high school age in modern times. No matter how cunning her mind is, it is impossible to hide it so that no one can see it.
She didn't dare to say anything else, but she couldn't hide her love for this kind of thing in her eyes.
When they first met at the gate of the general's mansion, she saw sarcasm, anger, and hatred in her eyes, but not the grievance of being unable to be loved.
But Zhuang Shihan couldn’t understand. If Song Yanxi really had no interest in Lin Tingfeng, she should have taken the initiative to withdraw since she saw that they were in love with each other. Why did she ask to be his concubine?
"Shihan?" Lin Tingfeng's voice brought her back to her senses.
Zhuang Shihan shook her head and said to herself, "Strange, really strange."
"What's so strange?" Lin Tingfeng put his arm around her waist and held her on his lap.
Zhuang Shihan took the opportunity to hook her arm around his neck and smiled sweetly, "I was thinking about how there could be anyone in the world who wouldn't like a handsome and unparalleled hero like Brother Feng."
"Maybe I just don't have eyes to tell."
Hearing that Lin Tingfeng was unhappy, Zhuang Shihan smiled and leaned forward to kiss him, her breath as sweet as orchid, saying, "I have good taste. I picked out my destined lover from among the hundred thousand soldiers at a glance."
Recalling the first time they met, Lin Tingfeng's eyes darkened.
Looking at those tender and tempting red lips, he couldn't hold back any longer and lowered his head to cover them fiercely.
A single man and a single woman, like dry wood, can ignite a fire.
When Lin Tingye hurriedly pushed the door open, the two were kissing passionately, with ambiguous low moans coming from between their lips.
Zhuang Shihan was lying on the desk, her collar had fallen down to her collarbone, and there were a few red marks on her snow-white skin.
With just one glance, Lin Tingye, who had experienced this before, understood what had happened. He immediately exclaimed "Oh!" and quickly turned around and walked out.
As he walked, he angrily said, "What kind of thing is this happening in broad daylight?"
Walking out of the study, Lin Tingye saw the servant who hurriedly followed him and said sternly, "If you don't want to die, get out now!"
In the study, the frightened Zhuang Shihan quickly pushed Lin Tingfeng away, glared at him and said, "Look at you, you're so impatient that you didn't even want to go back to your room. Now you're done, aren't you?"
Compared to her good acceptance, Lin Tingfeng lay on the table, staring blankly at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that he had swept to the ground in a hurry, and it took him a while to recover from the shock.
The person who just broke in was his brother?
When he thought about such a private matter, being caught by his elder brother whom he always respected, and him seeing his woman's body, Lin Tingfeng felt that his cognition of more than 20 years had been greatly impacted.
Zhuang Shihan's delicate voice rang in her ears, "Brother Feng, hurry up and put on your clothes. Big Brother is still waiting outside."
Lin Tingfeng turned his head and saw a shadow reflected on the door.
In an instant, he felt the blood rushing to his head. His face flushed red as he said, "Brother, brother..."
"Maybe I have something to talk to you about." Zhuang Shihan spoke calmly, the blush on her face had mostly faded.
Seeing that Lin Tingfeng's face was not right, she smiled and comforted him softly: "It's okay, big brother is an experienced person, and he is only a few years older than us, so he will definitely understand."
Although Zhuang Shihan usually dares to speak and act, when faced with this kind of thing, he really can't agree with her attitude of taking everything lightly.
How could she be so indifferent when it comes to a matter concerning a woman's reputation?
Is it her personality, or is it...
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Lin Tingfeng supported himself with his hands and sat up. His tone was inevitably unhappy when he spoke, "Please get dressed and wait for me in the study. I'll be back soon."
Zhuang Shihan was stunned for a moment, but instead of being angry, she happily moved forward and kissed him on the face.
He is worthy of being the man she likes. Even his jealousy is so charming. She likes it!

Outside the door, Lin Tingye turned around after hearing footsteps, with an annoyed look on his face.
Lin Tingfeng asked, "Brother, why did you come to see me in such a hurry?"
Hearing this, Lin Tingye's face darkened and he lowered his voice and said, "Your sister-in-law has gone back to her parents' home."
"Today is not a festival, and my mother is still sick. Why would she go back to her parents' home?" Thinking of Zhou, who was dull and never talked much, Lin Tingfeng was not in a good mood.
He even planned to wait two years and let his brother divorce her on the grounds that she had no children.
She is just a concubine's daughter from a small family. Not only can her family not provide any help, but she may even become a burden to her brothers' promotion in the future.
Lin Tingye's face was gloomy, and he said angrily, "It's all because of your good wife! She indulges herself in luxury and completely disregards the lives of mother and everyone else in the mansion."
"Your sister-in-law went to look for her, hoping she would help with the household chores, but she only gave us five hundred taels of silver. She really treated us like beggars."
"Her heart is no longer in the General's Mansion, so naturally she won't care about the life and death of anyone in the General's Mansion." Lin Tingfeng said coldly.
Seeing his sinister expression, Lin Tingye's heart skipped a beat, "Song..."
Lin Tingfeng interrupted him, "Now is not the time to talk about this, we have to find our sister-in-law back as soon as possible."
