Chapter 272 What is this Lin?
Song Yanxi looked at Lin Tingfeng coldly, unable to suppress the disgust in her eyes.
She curled her lips and said sarcastically, "The rumors outside are true. General Lin is indeed lucky. No matter how dangerous the situation is, he will always turn it into a blessing."
But why didn't she believe that God would always bless such an ungrateful, shameless and despicable villain?
If that's the case, that's all she could say.
God is blind!
Anyone with ears could tell that Song Yanxi was both praising and sarcastically criticizing him, and even seemed to be slightly wondering why he didn't just die.
Lin Tingfeng also heard it, but he didn't feel angry. Instead, he curled his lips and said in a good mood: "Thanks to Madam for saving me today. I am here to thank Madam for your generosity on behalf of all my brothers and the people of Border Town."
Who the hell is this guy named Lin? Why should I thank him?
Song Yanxi was furious when she heard this. Just as she was about to ask him how shameless he was, Cheng Duan next to her couldn't help but speak first.
He folded his arms, sneered, and said, "General Lin, what you said is really interesting. Now that the prince and General Xu are both in the city, how can you say thank you?
Are the people in the city speechless, or is it that General Lin is being sentimental and has misunderstood something?"
Cheng Duan seemed to have suddenly realized something and said, "It seems that General Lin must have misunderstood. The princess risked her life to come here to take these medicines back for the safety of the people in the border town."
He had a sarcastic smile on his face, and every word he said was like a loud slap in the face, slapping Lin Tingfeng hard.
This reckless man!
How could he not know the inside story?!
Does he have to remind him again?
Shihan was right. This man was not only a reckless man, but also a complete idiot.
Facing his scarlet eyes, Cheng Duan sneered and asked, "Why is General Lin silent? Is he just a quiet person?"
Didn’t you just say that you wanted to thank the princess on behalf of the people in the border town?
It just so happens that today, while I and all my brothers are here, I will bear witness for you."
As he spoke, he ordered, "Don't get cold, all of you, hurry up and lend a hand to help General Lin up."
Without waiting for Lin Tingfeng to speak, he said to himself, "My princess, this is a life-saving grace. Apart from other things, a few kowtows are inevitable, right?"
"This..." The soldiers on the side were dumbfounded.
Starting from the gratitude for saving my life, let alone kowtow a few times, it would not be excessive even if I bring gifts and kowtow to him during festivals in the future.
After all, there has been a saying since ancient times that a savior is like a second parent.
It is said in the book that if your benefactor has no children, you should do your best to support them. Otherwise, it would be considered unkind and unjust, and you would be despised by the world.
But between this husband and wife...that can't be calculated that way.
Not to mention that such a thing has not happened in the past hundred years, even unofficial books wouldn't dare to write it like this, right?
Since ancient times, women have regarded their husbands as their heaven. We have only heard of wives kneeling to their husbands, but have we ever heard of a husband kneeling to his wife, which is a rebellious act.
Lin Tingfeng's face suddenly darkened, and he almost squeezed out a sentence through his teeth, "General Cheng, I advise you to stop."
His fever had not subsided, and he had not eaten or slept well for two days. His words, which should have been full of vigor, sounded weak and powerless.
It's only slightly louder than a three-year-old child crying out for hunger.
If someone coughs, his voice will be completely inaudible.
Cheng Duan scratched his ears and asked in confusion, "General Lin, what are you saying? Why don't you speak louder?"
Without waiting for anyone to speak, he continued, "Cheng is a rough man. General Lin, just say what you want to say directly. Don't keep people guessing."
He said, his face showing no disdain. "You're a grown man, yet you're so inefficient in doing things. Do you really think others are just worms in your stomach?"
"Cheng Duan!" Lin Tingfeng was extremely angry, his face flushed red.
He opened his mouth to say something when Cheng Duan responded loudly, not forgetting to ask, "General Lin just said that he would kneel down to thank the princess on behalf of the people of the city. Does that still count?"
Lin Tingfeng asked angrily: "When did I say I would kneel..."
"I understand, Cheng. General Lin is going to go back on his word." Cheng Duan interrupted him and his face darkened.
The soldiers on the side were guarding the two of them, not even daring to breathe.
If they had known they would hear these things while staying in the cave, they would have gone outside to guard no matter what.
After hearing so many things they shouldn't have heard, the two generals wouldn't be so angry as to kill them to silence them, right?
Seeing that Lin Tingfeng wanted to talk, Song Yanxi was too lazy to listen to their quarrel and reminded him faintly: "General Lin, you should put on your clothes first."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes fell on him.
It turned out that the clothes he was wearing had slipped down a little at some point, revealing most of his body.
It's very indecent to expose one's breasts.
If he had not missed the flash of disgust in her eyes, Lin Tingfeng might really have thought that Song Yanxi's kind reminder was because she was worried that he would catch a cold, and she deliberately reminded him to put on clothes.
That look clearly showed that she felt ashamed of him.
He is her husband, and his every word and action in public represents her reputation, so she feels unhappy about it.
Does this also prove that she actually cares about him deep down in her heart?
Yes, that must be the reason.
His mother-in-law had been single-handedly supporting the Marquis's Mansion for so many years and had always refused to divorce his father-in-law. Besides being reluctant to give up her position as the Marquis's wife, she was certainly more afraid of being embarrassed.
Since ancient times, how many women have been able to divorce?
Even the daughters of powerful families did not return home in a grand manner after divorce. Most of the time, their families would just find a house for them to live in and then quickly find a suitable family for them to remarry.
The Yan family today has lost its former glory and cannot even support its only daughter, let alone Song Yanxi, a more distant granddaughter?
As for the Yongchuan Marquis Mansion.
Needless to say, his father-in-law would never allow Song Yanxi to return home even if the two of them divorced, as this would damage the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion and affect his two children.
What future can his brother-in-law have who only knows how to play with an abacus and hasn't even passed the imperial examination?
The only person Song Yanxi can count on is him as her husband.
As for the matters between her and His Royal Highness Prince Jin, he didn't need to do anything, as someone else would naturally handle them.
Seeing Lin Tingfeng sitting there motionless and not even mentioning to pull up his clothes, Cheng Duan felt it was an eyesore.
He looked at Song Yanxi and said without hesitation: "My Lady, you'd better look less to avoid getting stye."
Song Yanxi said without turning her head: "Thank you, General Cheng, for the reminder."
Seeing that she was busy giving injections to the unconscious soldier and had no intention of even looking at him, Lin Tingfeng's eyes became even colder.
He stared at Cheng Duan with a serious look and asked coldly, "I don't remember when I offended General Cheng. Why do you keep insulting me time and time again?"
"What do you mean, General Lin?" Cheng Duan said with a forced smile, his eyes clearly showing provocation.
He looked like he was about to ask Lin Tingfeng if he wanted to fight for a few moves.
Hearing this, Lin Tingfeng's face darkened, and he couldn't stand it any longer and asked, "What does the matter between other people's husband and wife have to do with you?
How can you have the right to say irresponsible things here?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the cave suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Song Yanxi's acupuncture movements moved slightly, and the disgust in her cold eyes could hardly be suppressed.
Between husband and wife?
Fortunately, Lin Tingfeng opened his mouth.
Does he dare to tell how their marriage came about?
The silver needle in her hand pierced into the acupuncture point, and Song Yanxi turned to look at him, her eyes full of disgust.
Cheng Duan snorted coldly, folded his arms and said proudly, "The princess is my savior. This life belongs to her. Her affairs are naturally my affairs."
As he spoke, he did not forget Yin Yang Lin Tingfeng, "It is said that this life-saving grace is as heavy as a mountain. From now on, whenever the princess gives you an order, even if it means climbing mountains of swords and crossing seas of fire, Cheng will not frown.
General Lin, do you think this is true?
