Chapter 68 We must not let the Song family go!
Zhuzhi quietly looked up at Zhuyu and said with a bitter face, "You should talk to the girl."
Zhu Yu's face turned pale, and between confessing and kneeling, she chose the latter.
Seeing the two of them like this, Song Yanxi sneered and stood up suddenly, "Okay, if you don't tell me, I'll go out and find out myself."
"Girl, you can't do that!" Two bamboos hugged her legs, one on the left and one on the right, and hurried to explain.
"This morning, after the young lady left the house, I went to the shop to get some fabrics and happened to hear people discussing the young lady moving out of the Princess's Mansion.
They said...they said the general doesn't like you because you hurt...hurt him on the wedding night."
Zhuzhi felt embarrassed just saying these words.
Song Yanxi then noticed that one side of her cheek was a little swollen, and her face darkened for a moment, "Did they beat you?"
Zhuzhi explained, "Don't worry, young lady. Their injuries are much worse than mine. I pulled out a bunch of their hair and their faces are disfigured."
Having said that, it is a fact that she was bullied.
Song Yanxi asked with a cold face: "Do you know whose daughter this is?"
Zhuzhi shook his head and said in annoyance, "If they hadn't brought a servant with them, I would have torn their mouths apart!"
"Are you injured?"
"No, as soon as they heard I was from the Princess's Mansion, they immediately left in disgrace."
Thinking of something, the energetic Zhuzhi drooped his eyebrows and said aggrievedly: "I asked around on the way back and heard that there are many women in the capital. After waking up from a nap, I found a few pieces of paper scattered in the yard. On them, it said that the young lady was unwilling to be lonely..."
Zhu Yu quickly interrupted, "Those people are just talking nonsense. Miss, don't pay attention to them."
Song Yanxi frowned and asked, "Do you know when it started?"
"It must have started last night. When I went out to buy cakes yesterday, I didn't hear any rumors that were unfavorable to the girl."
Song Yanxi's expression darkened even further, and she couldn't help but sneer, "In just one night, everyone knew about this. What a big deal!"
For such a big thing, the amount of financial and human resources that can be accomplished in Beijing can be counted on one’s ten fingers.
There were even fewer people who had a grudge against Song Yanxi and wanted to ruin her reputation.
"Could it be Princess Shihan? Not long after we left the night before yesterday, she couldn't wait to run to the General's Mansion. I heard she left just before dawn."
Zhuzhi felt nauseous as he spoke and rubbed his arms again and again.
How could a girl from a decent family do such a thing?
Fortunately, she is a princess, and she has brought shame to the Jingguo Mansion!
"It shouldn't be her." Song Yanxi said pertinently: "With her personality, if she wanted to make trouble for me, she would directly bring people to find me instead of doing such shady tricks behind my back."
"That's right. She can even make such a high-sounding excuse for stealing someone else's husband. If it was really her, she would have already come to the door to make trouble."
"If it's not her, who else could it be?"
Suddenly, the two bamboos thought of something, looked at each other and said in unison: "General's Mansion!"

Lin Tingfeng clenched the papers in his hands and asked gloomily, "Who wrote these?"
"What is that?" Madam Lin pretended not to know. She walked over to take a look and was so surprised that her mouth couldn't close. "There's such a thing?"
"Mother, you know what I'm talking about!" Lin Tingfeng shouted angrily.
Old Madam Lin was startled by him. She covered her chest and leaned back softly in the armchair, about to wipe away her tears.
This trick has always worked for Lin Tingfeng in the past.
As long as she shed tears, he would not pursue the matter even if it was a huge mistake.
But today, Mrs. Lin was not in the right mood and hadn't even shed a tear. She noticed the sarcasm on her son's face out of the corner of her eye.
He clearly didn't say anything, but the words "Hurry up and start" seemed to be written on his face.
Madam Lin couldn't bring herself to cry, and could only cough awkwardly twice. She said unhappily, "It's just a small matter, why are you so angry? If the wound on your body breaks open again, wouldn't it be a waste of Shihan's kindness?"
"How dare you mention Shihan?" Lin Tingfeng was so angry that veins on his head bulged.
He said, "If Shihan knew that you took advantage of her kindness and spent her dowry to find someone to discredit Song Yanxi and spread the news that we had a wedding night together, what would she think?"
With Shihan's temper, if Duke Jingguo hadn't been watching closely, she would have rushed over to demand an explanation the moment she heard the news.
Madam Lin said nonchalantly, "That's nothing. Song is already your wife. If you two don't do something, you'll be laughed at. With Song's current temper, if you don't consummate your marriage, she'll probably move directly to the palace next."
Lin Tingfeng gritted his teeth, "She dares!"
"What is there for her to be afraid of?" Madam Lin sneered and explained, "Mother is an experienced person. A woman's heart belongs to the man she gives her body to.
If Song Shi didn't want to live with Prince Jin as soon as possible, how could she dare to do this? She always asks you to divorce her or talks about divorce. What do you think she wants?"
Seeing that Lin Tingfeng's face was getting uglier and uglier, Mrs. Lin knew that he believed it.
She quickly struck while the iron was hot and said, "The Song family is now completely different from what it was before. If she goes there with the fiefdom and rewards, why wouldn't His Royal Highness Prince Jin give her the position of concubine?"
"Feng'er, don't blame your mother for not warning you. With Song's petty nature, if she really becomes His Royal Highness Prince Jin's wife, how can our family still have a good life in the future?"
Just by saying this, Mrs. Lin felt a chill down her spine.
No, we must not let the Song family go!
Lin Tingfeng said with a gloomy face, "Mother, I understand."
Madam Lin smiled instantly and said with relief, "Good child, mother knew you would figure out the pros and cons involved.
Your mother can't help you in any way. She can only think of this method to delay for a while and temporarily make her give up the idea of divorcing you.
As for the rest, it’s up to you.”
As she spoke, she stuffed a porcelain bottle into Lin Tingfeng's hand and said with a serious expression, "Feng'er, that Song family is cunning by nature. You only have one chance. If you fail, she will definitely strike back with her temper."
Fearing that he might have concerns, Madam Lin said considerately, "Don't worry about Shihan. She's already yours, and we're engaged. Where else can she go?"
You, what you need to do now is to take good care of your health and get rid of the person as soon as possible, so as to avoid any more troubles later."
"Prince Jin's side..."
"Are you afraid of what he will do? No matter how powerful he is, isn't Song still your wife? Even if the matter is brought to the Emperor's attention, he wouldn't dare to accuse the two of them of having an affair."
Mrs. Lin said, feeling distressed, "I'm sorry you've been wronged by having to pick up someone else's worn-out shoes. Once this matter is settled, I'll definitely find you some clean ones."
Lin Tingfeng frowned unhappily, "Mother, what are you talking about? It's enough for my son to have Shihan and Song by his side. I will never take another concubine from now on."
"Okay, okay, mother will listen to you." Old Madam Lin agreed without hesitation, not realizing there was anything wrong with what she said.
