Chapter 447 If You Believe in Me, I Will Protect You
Lin Tingye was stunned by the question, and the last trace of blood color on his face disappeared in an instant.
He trembled, clenched his fist and hit Lin Tingfeng hard in the face.
Lin Tingfeng simply turned his head slightly and dodged it effortlessly.
He looked at the frail Lin Tingye and said with disappointment, "Big brother, your health has been getting worse recently."
Zhou's eyes flickered, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Uncle, you don't know, during the two years you were away fighting, my husband not only had to get up before dawn every day to attend court, but also had to study until three o'clock every night before he could fall asleep.
He knows he's not as talented as others, and he's afraid of bringing shame to you, my second uncle, in the court, and bringing disgrace to our ancestors, so he has to put in double, even ten times as much effort every day."
Lin Tingye felt guilty after hearing these words.
He held only an insignificant civil service position. If Emperor Xuande had not emphasized civil service in recent years, according to his rank, he would not even have been qualified to stand outside the door and listen in on the morning court session.
As for reading late into the night...
What he was after was not the books, but the warmth of the beautiful woman who accompanied him every night.
With a beauty in his arms, how could he have the slightest thought to focus on studying?
Seeing his elder brother's evasive gaze, Lin Tingfeng didn't understand what was going on, so he said with a serious face, "I will ask another doctor to take care of your health, elder brother.
As for this woman, she must not be allowed to stay in the house any longer, and the evil offspring in her belly must not be kept either."
Lin Tingye slumped on the ground, listening to his merciless words, and felt a sweet taste rising in his throat.
He swallowed the sweet liquid in his mouth and panted, "Second brother, the one in her belly is my child, and she will call you Second Uncle in the future.
Why do you have to... why do you have to kill them all?"
Not missing the disgust in Lin Tingfeng's eyes, Lin Tingye thought of something and gritted his teeth, "Not all women in the world are like my mother..."
"Shut up!"
Lin Tingfeng's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent, and he said in a cold voice: "Brother, if you don't want me to send her down now, then keep your mouth shut."
Zhou rushed forward, her frail body blocking her husband's way, and said with a fearless look on her face, "My husband is not in good health and can't stand being frightened. If you have anything to say, please come to me."
"Ripple!" After many years, Lin Tingye finally remembered his wife's maiden name again.
Zhou's body stiffened, and she almost couldn't continue acting.
How could her nice name sound so disgusting when it came out of his mouth?
She preferred it to him calling her Lianyi. He once said in front of her that her waist was not as soft as Taohong's and her voice was not as beautiful as Li'er's.
Because at that time, he was clearly a scumbag.
Unlike now, he pretends to be so affectionate and infatuated that he disgusts others and even deceives himself.
Lin Tingfeng has always been a serious person and not as easy to fool as Lin Tingye. Zhou's not-so-great acting skills are not good enough in front of him.
He twitched the corners of his lips and sneered, "Since you are so sincere to my eldest brother, I will allow you to be buried in my Lin family's ancestral tomb after your death. When my eldest brother is a hundred years old, I will bury you and your wife together."
"You dare!" Lin Tingye was so angry that he was shaking.
He was about to say something when he caught a glimpse of a figure coming out of the room and asked anxiously, "Princess Shihan, how is my mother?"
Zhuang Shihan said with a gloomy face, "You can't die."
Upon hearing this, the two brothers' expressions changed.
Lin Tingye covered his chest with his hands, almost fainting from anger at her rude words.
Although she has not yet married into the Lin family and is not considered the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, her mother is still her elder. How can a younger person speak of an elder like this?
This is simply outrageous!
Before Lin Tingye could catch his breath and start to attack, Zhuang Shihan was the first to ask, "I was just treating a patient in there, what are you all yelling about outside?
Are you worried that my hand won't shake when I give you the injection? Or are you worried that your old lady is lucky enough to be saved by me?
"You!" Lin Tingye's face flushed red, and he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a word, "You are disrespectful!"
Zhuang Shihan sneered, "Yes, yes, you are the most refined. You spend all day and night lying in a woman's arms, singing to the wind and moon. I'm afraid you would be hard-pressed to find someone as refined as you in the whole capital."
He never thought that she even knew such a secret matter. The blood color on Lin Tingye's face disappeared in an instant.
He moved his lips and said with all his might, "That's pure nonsense."
Mrs. Zhou quickly helped him up from the ground and said in a tearful voice, "Husband, you are not in good health. You must not get angry again."
As she spoke, her voice grew sadder, and she stroked her belly gently, saying, "If anything happens to you, what will we do?"
Zhuang Shihan felt even more upset when she heard the crying. She frowned and said, "Cry, cry, cry. You cry all day long. You've cried away all the blessings of this family.
I have never seen a woman as useless as you in my life."
"I..." Zhou wiped her tears and said aggrievedly, "Princess, don't be angry. I won't cry."
She lowered her eyes and suppressed the disgust in them.
What a coincidence! In her entire life, she had never seen such a shameless girl like Princess Shihan from the Duke's Mansion.
Zhuang Shihan got angry when she saw her weak and easily bullied appearance, and asked with a cold face: "Don't you want to keep the baby in your belly?"
Without thinking, Zhou blurted out, "Yes, of course!"
This was something she had worked so hard to obtain, and it would be her support for the rest of her life. How could she bear to give it up?
Zhuang Shihan laughed out loud when she heard this. "Since you wanted it, why didn't you scold Lin Tingfeng when he said he wanted to abort your baby?"
Zhou bit her lower lip and said weakly, "He is my second uncle."
Her shoulders trembled slightly, and her timid appearance was completely different from the eloquent one she had shown in front of the two brothers yesterday.
Lin Tingfeng said with a gloomy face: "Shihan, you don't have to pay attention to this evil woman. The look in front of her is..."
Zhuang Shihan interrupted him and said impatiently, "Can you shut up? I have eyes and I can see."
When she first came to the general's mansion, Zhou looked timid and spoke softly, as if she was afraid that a louder voice would scare her.
I only spoke a few words to her, and during that time I was either looking at Mrs. Lin's expression or the look of her good-for-nothing husband.
She had seen many women like this who were timid by nature and had no status at home.
Not to mention acting in front of them, even if the men in the family stomped their feet a little louder, she would be scared to death.
Who would believe that she was just pretending?
Zhuang Shihan took a few quick steps, extended her hand towards Zhou and said, "If you trust me, I will protect you from now on."
Zhou blinked, with fear and hesitation in her eyes.
Knowing that she couldn't give a quick answer right away, Zhuang Shihan didn't rush. She smiled at her and said, "It's okay. I'm not in a hurry to leave right now. You can take your time to think about it."
Seeing that she was serious, Lin Tingfeng warned with a cold face: "Shihan, be careful not to be deceived by her."
Zhuang Shihan turned to look at him, her eyes cold as she said, "Lin Tingfeng, don't tell me you're so mean that you wouldn't even let a pregnant woman go."
