Chapter 367 Your so-called engagement is not counted
"No, she must die!" When Zhuang Shihan heard that Xu Xiao met Jiaojiao alone, she almost instantly felt murderous.
She didn't care whether her overreaction would attract Lin Tingfeng's attention. Her mind was full of only one thought.
That Jiaojiao must die!
Zhuang Shihan suddenly stood up and walked out, but Lin Tingfeng stopped her.
“Get out of the way!”
"Shihan, calm down."
Zhuang Shihan raised her eyes and looked at him, and asked coldly: "Besides telling me to calm down, can you say anything else?"
Lin Tingfeng frowned and asked instead of answering: "Do you think I will hurt you?"
After days of quarreling, there is not much tenderness left in the eyes of the two when they look at each other, but more impatience.
Too lazy to waste time talking to him, Zhuang Shihan asked directly, "General Lin, are you sure you want to turn against me just for a stranger you've never even met?"
Lin Tingfeng frowned and said helplessly: "Why do you have to say it so seriously?"
Zhuang Shihan said coldly, "You just need to say, yes or no."
When their eyes met, the indifference in her eyes made people feel at a loss.
Lin Tingfeng clenched his hands in his sleeves, feeling a struggle in his heart.
They have been together for nearly two years, and he knows too well that the person in front of him is a man of his word. If he doesn't do what she wants, she will never let him off easily.
I'm afraid this matter is not negotiable.
But given her personality and Xu Xiao's current concern for the woman from Liang, it would be difficult for them to clear themselves of any involvement, not to mention whether they could succeed in the heavily guarded general's mansion.
Is it really necessary to put yourself in danger just for a mere favorite concubine of Wen Qi?
“As for.”
Zhuang Shihan's tone was cold, with a chilling glint in her eyes.
It even gave people the illusion that she was not trying to solve the problem, but was looking for revenge.
But she had clearly only met the Liang woman named Jiaojiao once.
Lin Tingfeng had not heard of any conflict between the two when she went to treat him the other day.
Since there is no grudge between them, why does she have to kill her?
Looking at his expression, Zhuang Shihan already had the answer in her mind.
Raising her hand to push his arm away, she said coldly, "From today onwards, everything I do has nothing to do with General Lin. You don't have to worry about being implicated in future incidents."
"Shihan, you know that's not what I meant, so why bother..."
Zhuang Shihan interrupted him and said, "I'm not the type to pester people. Let's part ways amicably."
Lin Tingfeng's helpless expression froze on his face.
How come after just a few words, we're talking about parting ways amicably?
Lin Tingfeng patiently coaxed Zhuang Shihan, who was walking out without looking back, by grabbing her and saying, "Shihan, you misunderstood me. Who in Da'an doesn't know that you and I are about to get married?"
"So what?"
Zhuang Shihan smiled coldly and reminded him, "General Lin, don't forget that the imperial decree granting the marriage has not yet come down.
Your so-called engagement is not valid."
Lin Tingfeng held her hand without hesitation, his eyes full of affection, and said solemnly, "If I say it counts, it counts."
"Who do you think you are?" Zhuang Shihan's eyes were full of sarcasm.
What she actually wanted to say was, who do you think you are?
But she changed her mind and realized that she still needed him at the moment and it was not the time to fall out with him, so she spoke more tactfully.
But even so, the gentle smile on Lin Tingfeng's face froze when he heard her sarcastic words.
He sighed softly and said helplessly, "Shihan, you know exactly what I feel, so why do you deliberately say these words to anger me?"
Seeing that Zhuang Shihan was unmoved, he continued, "I stopped you not because I was afraid of your so-called involvement, but because I was worried that Xu Xiao would notice you, which would be more trouble than gain.
Besides, even if you want to do it, there is no need to dirty your hands."
Zhuang Shihan raised an eyebrow, "You want to help me?"
Lin Tingfeng smiled lightly and asked instead of answering, "You and I are one, husband and wife. If I don't help you, who else can I help?"
Zhuang Shihan smiled and pulled her hand back, leaving behind a sentence "wait for good news" and turned away.

After leaving Liangjing, Mo Jinchuan did not choose to return to the border town, but took Song Yanxi and his party to the border military base outside the city.
Less than a hundred meters away from the military camp, Song Yanxi's leg injury happened to relapse and she needed to rest on the spot.
Luo Yidao was worried about leaving her alone, so he asked Cheng Duan to escort Mo Jinchuan into the camp, while he stayed behind to guard her.
Song Yanxi did not refuse this.
As soon as the group left, Luo Yidao said, "Sister, now it's just the two of us, tell Brother Luo the truth."
Song Yanxi chuckled, "To be honest with you, Brother Luo, my leg is fine."
"So, you are deliberately deceiving that little boy, deceiving the prince?"
Luo Yidao suddenly changed his words mid-sentence, obviously not yet accustomed to the habit of addressing Mo Jinchuan by a respectful title in front of others.
It's so awkward.
But I have to do this.
Not only should we address each other like this now, but we should not call each other "brother" casually in the future. In the words of Mr. Cheng, calling each other like this is indiscriminate.
He doesn't really care whether to separate or not.
But since he said it was not good, he must have his reasons.
After all, he was able to become a general without any education, which shows that he is really capable.
Song Yanxi looked towards the military camp and sighed softly, "Some things are not suitable for outsiders to be present."
Luo Yidao frowned, broke off a piece of hay and put it in his mouth, saying unhappily: "Sister, please don't dislike what I have to say. What you said just now was not right. We are not strangers."
As he spoke, he smiled at her and asked, "When are you two going to do it?"
"What business?"
"Of course it's a major life event!"
Seeing the mischief in his eyes, Song Yanxi understood something and said helplessly, "Brother Luo, there may be some misunderstanding here."
"Misunderstanding?" Luo Yidao glared, "Do you think that those eyes under your brother Luo's eyebrows can only turn but not see?"
When the two of them talked, the affection in their eyes could not be hidden.
If this is called a lack of emotion, then wouldn't all men and women in the world be alone for their entire lives?
Without waiting for Song Yanxi to explain, Luo Yidao asked directly: "Just tell me if you have any feelings for him."
"No..." Just as she was about to say something against her will, she was glared back at by him.
Luo Yidao pointed at her heart and said, "Don't tell me, ask yourself first."
If that's the case, Song Yanxi does.
She can deceive others, but she cannot deceive her own heart.
Luo Yidao knew what was going on as soon as he saw it, and snorted, "You guys are all dishonest."
What do you mean everyone is dishonest?
Who else besides her?
Meeting her suspicious eyes, Luo Yidao chuckled and said, "When we get to the border town, you have to buy me a drink."
Song Yanxi: "I won't go home until I'm drunk."
Luo Yidao rubbed his hands, glanced back, and said cautiously: "I just happened to hear this. Just listen to it, and don't confront the prince. Cheng kicked me two days ago and it still hurts."
As he spoke, he waved towards Song Yanxi and said, "Come closer, don't let anyone hear us."
He looked so cautious, as if he had heard some important secret.
Song Yanxi moved closer and said decisively after hearing what he said: "This is impossible."
