Chapter 76 I like you, there's no need for so many reasons
"You!" Zhuang Shihan's face turned red with anger, and her eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire.
No wonder Aunt Lin said that Song is now a mad dog. She bites whoever she catches. She doesn't have the dignity that a lady from a noble family should have.
But she had no good intentions in asking people to lower the price to sell the shop. She wanted to take the opportunity to make Song Yanxi fall, so as to suppress her arrogance and vent her anger on behalf of Brother Feng.
How can you let her say such words?
Meeting her annoyed gaze, Song Yanxi covered her mouth with a handkerchief in surprise, "Why does the princess look so grim? Could it be that she's changed her mind and can't bring herself to do it?"
Without waiting for Zhuang Shihan to speak, she said with regret, "What a pity, Princess, you came too late. Those shops were so popular that they were sold out early this morning. If you had told me earlier, perhaps we could have saved a few for you."
Speaking of this, Song Yanxi was in a particularly good mood. With a smile on her face, she praised sincerely, "Princess Shihan is indeed very discerning. These shops are in excellent locations. Even if the prices double, there will still be many people willing to buy them."
She didn't hate Princess Shihan at all now, and even hoped that she could "humiliate" her two more times.
The purchase amount was less than 300,000, and the total selling amount was nearly twice as much. With such a fast money-making speed, how is it different from being a living god of wealth?
"Shut up!" Zhuang Shihan wanted to kill someone.
She stared at Song Yanxi coldly and said sarcastically, "No matter how smart you are, you will never be chosen by Brother Feng."
Although it was not the first time that she heard such shocking words from Zhuang Shihan, Song Yanxi still found it difficult to understand.
What's so good about Lin Tingfeng that makes her like him so much?
Song Yanxi couldn't figure it out, so she just asked directly.
"What is it about the general that makes Princess Shihan so infatuated with him?"
Zhuang Shihan listened with disdain and said disdainfully, "If I like you, then I like you. There's no need for so many reasons. The first time I saw Brother Feng, I knew he was the one I was looking for.
I am different from you girls who have been trained as tools for marriage since childhood. You care about family background and status, and when you marry, you only consider the help that the other family can bring to your own family.
What I want is only Lin Tingfeng. Once I have made up my mind, even if the sky falls and the earth collapses, it cannot separate us."
If she was not the so-called tool for marriage, Song Yanxi might admire Zhuang Shihan's courage to fight for love after hearing these words.
But now, looking at this person who was talking lightly about other people's suffering and showing off his own uniqueness, she felt sick in her heart.
Song Yanxi's face darkened as she spoke coldly, "You're also a woman. You should know how unfair the world is. It's not easy for a woman to establish herself. Not everyone is as lucky as you, born as the Duke's only daughter. You can do whatever you want. Even if you poke a hole in the sky, there will be someone to clean up after you."
"What do you want to say?" Zhuang Shihan sneered, "Are you trying to tell me that as a woman, I can't even choose my own husband?"
Without waiting for Song Yanxi to speak, she continued, "Life is but a few short decades. If everyone were like you, carrying the so-called family honor and disgrace, rise and fall on their shoulders all day long, how tiring it would be.
I don’t want to be like you, learning to carry on the female ring and needlework since birth, getting married and having children at a young age, and being trapped in a square courtyard.”
Zhuang Shihan became increasingly agitated as she spoke, questioning, "If every day I open my eyes, I have to scheme with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and even have to watch my husband being pushed to other women, what's the point of living?"
Thinking of something, her gaze towards Song Yanxi suddenly became complicated.
Meeting those eyes full of sympathy, Song Yanxi fell silent.
It wasn't that she couldn't find words to refute, but she was clearly aware that no matter how much she said to Zhuang Shihan, it wouldn't make much sense.
From head to toe, they are two completely different people.
In Zhuang Shihan's eyes, she and other noble ladies in Beijing were nothing more than puppets on the stage, not people with independent thoughts.
And she looked down on them from the bottom of her heart.
Song Yanxi suddenly calmed down. She looked calmly at Zhuang Shihan, who seemed to be worried about her, and asked, "So, the princess came here today to persuade me to divorce the general?"
Zhuang Shihan's eyes flashed, and she sighed, "I've never thought of competing with you for anything. Whether it's the position of wife or the right to manage the general's house, I don't care about these."
Song Yanxi finished the rest of the words for her: "What the princess wants is just a lover, to be together for the rest of her life."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Shihan's eyes were filled with surprise, as if she had finally found a soulmate. She said excitedly, "I knew there would always be someone who understands me in this era!"
She reached out and took Song Yanxi's hand, her attitude much more enthusiastic, and said seriously: "Don't worry, sister, after you and Brother Feng are divorced, if you want any man in the future, just tell me what you want, and I will definitely help you get him."
As she spoke, she asked herself, "What kind do you prefer? A scholar who writes elegantly, or a general who leads troops into battle?"
Song Yanxi was about to speak when she saw her eyes light up. "Since your maternal grandparents are in business, it would be nice to find someone with business acumen. In the future, you don't have to do anything, just sit at home and count the money."
"Princess Shihan, please don't worry about these things." Song Yanxi withdrew her hand coldly.
She didn't think that the relationship between the two of them was such that they could introduce each other to a husband.
If a concubine who has not yet married into the family introduces a second-married man to the mistress of the house, if this news gets out, I'm afraid everyone in the world will laugh at her.
Zhuang Shihan thought she was just shy and said indifferently, "What's there to be ashamed of? Marriage is human nature. I can't let you enjoy the happiness of being a woman before..."
Song Yanxi's face darkened and she scolded coldly, "Princess, be careful with your words!"
Meeting her embarrassed and angry eyes, Zhuang Shihan realized she had spoken out of turn and quickly changed the subject, "The steward who helped me deliver the dowry to the General's Mansion that day was named Cao Wei. He's twenty-two years old this year. He used to run an escort agency at home. Not only is he highly skilled in martial arts, but he's also an orphan."
Hearing this somewhat familiar name, Song Yanxi suddenly remembered that she had heard it from the two of them when she was still fooling around.
This person was involved in the Yan family being accused of treason.
Afterwards, Lin Tingfeng was afraid that the truth would be revealed one day, so he silenced many people. Since this person was allowed to stay, he must be Zhuang Shihan's confidant.
Song Yanxi came back to her senses and met a pair of eyes full of teasing.
Zhuang Shihan raised her eyebrows and lowered her voice mysteriously, "He's the one I admire most among my capable men. If you think he..."
"Princess Shihan." Song Yanxi interrupted her coldly and asked with a smile: "Princess, how can you think that I would be interested in such a person?"
Zhuang Shihan couldn't smile anymore, and said with disappointment, "I thought you were different from the others, but I never thought you were also an ordinary person with high expectations, looking down on people of ordinary backgrounds."
Hearing this, Song Yanxi couldn't help but laugh.
She asked Zhuang Shihan, "If Princess Shihan says that if you admire someone, you must marry him, then the princess knows more than just these men. Is she able to marry him?"
