Chapter 63: A Lifetime of Love
Song Yanxi corrected him, "It was Princess Shihan who paid back the money on behalf of the general."
He spoke so eloquently that if you didn't know, you would think he paid for it himself.
Lin Tingfeng was so angry that veins bulged on his forehead and his fists were clenched tightly.
Without waiting for him to speak, Song Yanxi pointed at the teacups on the table and said, "This set of black-glazed teacups costs eight hundred taels. How do you think the General's Mansion can afford it?"
Eunuch Qi picked up the teacup and said with a smile, "If I remember correctly, this set of tea is worth a year's salary, General."
Hearing this, Lin Tingfeng felt as if something was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't swallow it or spit it out.
A person who spends nearly a thousand taels to buy a set of tea cups, blocked her sick mother-in-law at the door and humiliated her in every way for a mere thirty thousand taels. She has such a vicious heart!
A lady from a normal family would definitely not do what she did, keeping a record of every expense in the house and recording it in the account book.
She clearly...
This bitch!
I'm afraid that Song Yanxi had already had an affair with Mo Jinchuan long before they got married, and she never intended to live a good life in the general's mansion from the beginning.
The reason why she accepted his proposal two years ago was probably because she was impressed by his status as a military commander. She thought that once he went to the battlefield, he would be away for at least a year or two, or even die on the spot.
By then, she would be a widow, which would make it easier for the two of them to have an affair in secret.
No wonder the army didn't set out earlier or later, but had to set out on the day of his wedding. The two of them didn't even have time to pay their respects to heaven and earth before people arrived in the palace.
At first he thought it was bad luck, but he never thought that the root of the problem was here!
Lin Tingfeng stared at Song Yanxi intently, his eyes were bloodshot as if they were about to bleed. He said "OK" three times in a row and ordered people to carry him away.
After the people left, Mrs. Qiu patted her chest and said, "Is General Lin suffering from conjunctivitis? He looks so scary."
"That's right. The look in his eyes just now seemed to want to kill someone. Princess, you should be careful next time."
Who wouldn’t be afraid of a mad dog?
Song Yanxi thanked him with a smile, but she didn't show it on her face. However, she couldn't help but be more cautious in her heart.
If she saw it correctly, when Lin Tingfeng left just now, the look in his eyes when he looked at her was not only filled with anger but also hatred deep in his bones.
Could it be that Madam Lin told him about Lin Tingxuan?
As soon as the idea came up, Song Yanxi rejected it herself.
Since it concerns the reputation of a woman, even her own brother would never reveal a word. Otherwise, given Lin Tingfeng's cruelty and selfishness, he would never allow his sister, who could bring scandal to the general's mansion at any time, to stay in the capital.
I think the problem must lie somewhere else.

When Lin Tingxuan woke up, she learned from the maid that the ladies had already left. She felt like the sky had fallen.
She covered her face with her hands, lay on the bed and cried bitterly, shouting that she didn't want to live anymore and that she was too ashamed to see anyone.
Mrs. Lin, who had just walked in, heard this and snorted coldly, "Whether you want to take the medicine or hang yourself, just tell mother and I will personally send you off."
The person on the bed shook his shoulders and his crying gradually became quieter.
Madam Lin's face was gloomy as she continued, "Don't blame your mother for not reminding you. If an unmarried daughter dies, there's nowhere to bury her. All they can do is find a few people to wrap your body in a tattered mat and throw it into the mass grave to feed the stray dogs."
"Wuwu...Mother..." Lin Tingxuan looked up at her, her eyes swollen like rotten peaches.
After all, she was her own daughter, so Mrs. Lin couldn't help but feel soft-hearted. She glared at the maid next to her and said, "Why don't you go out and get a basin of water to wash your young lady's face?"
She walked to the bedside, helped the man up with pity, and said bitterly, "We have been tricked by that bitch today. Don't worry, she embarrassed you today, and mother will make her pay you back a hundredfold!"
"Why not now?" Lin Tingxuan asked impatiently.
When she thought about how she had lost face in front of her lover's mother today, she wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood, otherwise she would never be able to get rid of the hatred in her heart.
Madam Lin's face darkened. "She is not at home now."
Thinking of something, Lin Tingxuan's eyes suddenly widened, and she grabbed her hand and said excitedly: "That bitch Song must have gone to find that adulterer. Mother, please take people to the back door to block her!"
In the dead of night, a married woman sneaked out of the house. Even if Song had a mouth full of words, she couldn't explain it.
By then, everyone in Kyoto will know that she is a fickle bitch, and they will talk about it after dinner, and will have no time to care about anything else.
Lin Tingxuan thought excitedly, but received no response.
She couldn't help but urge, "Mother, why don't you speak?"
Madam Lin gritted her teeth and said, "She moved to the Princess's Mansion."
"Mother, are you kidding me? My sister-in-law doesn't even have a princess's mansion. Who the hell is Song Yanxi? How can she be worthy of..."
Lin Tingxuan stopped talking midway.
She looked at Madam Lin, whose eyes were filled with hatred, and her voice trembled slightly, "Mother, she really..."
"The imperial edict was read out by Eunuch Qi who was beside the emperor, and he personally sent the person there. How could it be false?" Old Madam Lin's face was gloomy, and she wished she could bite her teeth to pieces.
Especially when she thought about the fact that even the roof of Lingxi Pavilion had been blown away and not a single blade of grass was left, she hated it even more.
That bitch had clearly made up her mind not to come back.
Madam Lin's eyes flashed with viciousness, and she sneered, "Let that little bitch be proud for a few more days. When your second brother's injury is healed, I will let your second brother consummate the marriage with her. Once they are husband and wife, I don't believe that His Royal Highness Prince Jin will touch a woman he has touched before.
Without the support of Prince Jin's Mansion, won't she be forced to return to the General's Mansion in disgrace and let us control her?"
Lin Tingxuan was shocked. "Mother, how could you let my second brother touch that slut who's cheating on me?"
"What do you think I want?" Madam Lin gritted her teeth. "If she wasn't so deeply favored by the Emperor and hadn't been granted the title of Princess and the fiefdom, she wouldn't even be worthy of carrying your second brother's shoes!"
"But my sister-in-law..." Thinking of the letters Zhuang Shihan had written to her, and how she had mentioned the idea of being together for life more than once in the letters, Lin Tingxuan felt a little worried.
Madam Lin glanced at her sideways and said unhappily, "No matter how fierce Princess Shihan's temper is, the two of them are married by the Emperor, and the marriage will be announced to the world soon, so she can't regret it.
Besides, she is just a woman after all. She has already given her body to your brother. What kind of waves can she make?"
Hearing her tone of not wanting to write, Lin Tingxuan thought of some bad memories and her face suddenly turned pale.
Madam Lin's expression was not looking good either. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Hurry up and change your clothes. Princess Shihan has arrived and is talking to your brother right now.
She's going to be married anyway, so it's a good idea for her to get to know you, her sister-in-law, in advance."
Upon hearing that Zhuang Shihan was coming, Lin Tingxuan hurriedly touched her face and asked anxiously, "Mother, please take a look at me. Do I look ugly now? I can't let my sister-in-law see me like this for the first time."
"It's late at night, just cover it up with some makeup, and nothing will be visible." Mrs. Lin said, turning around to help her choose clothes and jewelry.
But after choosing and choosing, I found that none of them were the fashionable styles.
Lin Tingxuan stamped her feet in anger and said, "Mom, didn't you keep the dress that Song gave me? Hurry and have someone get it for me to change into."
"No need." Madam Lin picked out a dusty dress and handed it to her, saying with a smile, "Listen to mother and wear this today."
