Chapter 846 Let’s talk about it when we get to see His Majesty
Zhuang Shihan regretted it as soon as she finished scolding Song Yanxi.
Especially when she thought that she would meet Emperor Xuande in the palace later and would need the two of them to testify, she wished she could go back and slap herself just now.
What's the point of talking too fast if you have to succeed?
One of them was Emperor Xuande's most beloved son, and the other was his soon-to-be-married daughter-in-law. Both were more pleasing to him than she was.
Just a random word from her can outweigh her long-winded chatter.
Perhaps when Emperor Xuande saw the two of them, he would be so happy that he would allow her and Lin Tingfeng to cancel their engagement.
At worst, she would just have to spend a little more money. After all, the money she gave out would eventually go into the national treasury, so it could be considered as a disguised way of benefiting the people.
When Zhuang Shihan thought about this, the heavy stone in her heart seemed to fall down, and she even found Song Yanxi more pleasing to the eye than before.
If Lin Tingfeng hadn't been in the middle, perhaps the two of them would have become good friends.
It’s a pity that there is no medicine for regret in this world.
Facing Zhuang Shihan's annoyed eyes, Song Yanxi asked coldly, "Princess Shihan, do you have anything else you want to ask about Li Zhuang?"
"What are you asking?" Zhuang Shihan was already very upset. When she heard this disgusting name, she said without thinking, "That's someone who was unlucky. He came all the way to the capital, but died before he could enjoy a few days of happiness."
Thinking of her stolen banknotes, Zhuang Shihan's eyes were filled with regret. "If I had known he was so dishonest, you shouldn't have brought him back. You should have let..."
Realizing something, she stopped talking mid-sentence.
Song Yanxi followed up on her question, "Should he be left in the border town, guarding his mother's lonely grave and letting it fend for itself?"
Zhuang Shihan's expression changed slightly, and she blurted out, "You said that, I didn't say anything."
She turned her face away, her eyes full of disgust, the word "unlucky" almost written on her face.
It can be seen that she really hates Li Zhuang.
They are so disgusted that even though they know that the person is dead, they still refuse to do good deeds.
If the people were not there, Zhuang Shihan would even want to put her hands on her waist and curse loudly in order to maintain her remaining image.
If that damn kid Li Zhuang hadn't followed her out of the house secretly and heard things he shouldn't have heard, he wouldn't have lost his life, and she wouldn't have had another handle on him that Wen Qi had in his hands.
After all, it was all his own fault!
He deserves to die. He stole the banknotes and instead of going home quickly, he had to rush to seek death.
Who can be blamed for this?
Someone gently tugged at her sleeve. Zhuang Shihan turned around impatiently, but the moment she saw Lin Tingfeng's face, she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart.
She pulled back her sleeves and said with disgust, "General Lin, you and I will soon be strangers. Please respect yourself."
"Stranger?" Lin Tingfeng's eyes were full of hurt, clearly hurt by her ruthlessness.
It was obvious that in half a month, she would be his wife and should be the person closest to him in this world.
But now, not only did she speak ill of him in public, but she even looked at him with hatred in her eyes.
He was just impulsive and violent towards her because he lost his mind.
In front of so many people, she beat him and scolded him, but he didn't say a word.
No matter how angry you are, it's time to calm down.
Does she have to make a scene before His Majesty, causing him to not only lose face but also completely destroy his career path before she will give up?
No, the Shihan he knew was kind. Even if she met a beggar on the road, she would take out the change she had and let the beggar have a full meal.
He is her man, the one she loves most in her life, how could she be so cruel to him?
Lin Tingfeng raised a smile at the corner of his lips, "Shihan..."
Zhuang Shihan couldn't bear to interrupt him. She stared into his smiling eyes and said coldly, "If you have anything to say, wait until we are in front of His Majesty."
Upon hearing this, Lin Tingfeng's smile froze on his face.
Too lazy to argue with him, Zhuang Shihan looked directly at Song Yanxi and said, "Let's hurry into the palace before the palace gates are locked."
The palace rules are strict. Even though Mo Jinchuan is Emperor Xuande's most beloved son, he is not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned after the palace gates are locked.
Otherwise, it would be a serious crime of treason.
Hearing her matter-of-fact tone, Song Yanxi asked, "When did I ever agree to follow you into the palace?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Shihan's face suddenly darkened.
She knew that Mr. Song would never want to see her have an easy time.
Anyone who understands women's jealousy will understand.
Knowing that if she missed this great opportunity, she would have to marry Lin Tingfeng, Zhuang Shihan bit her lower lip and made up her mind.
She looked at Mo Jinchuan and asked in a low voice, "With so many people watching today, there are so many people talking. Is Your Highness really going to go back on his word?"
Mo Jinchuan raised his eyes, a cold light flashing in his eyes, "When did the king ever agree to this?"
When Zhuang Shihan heard this, she wanted to bite her teeth to pieces.
The situation was so chaotic just now, how did she know that the two of them didn't respond?
Besides, between adults, not explicitly refusing means agreeing.
He is a prince of a country after all, how can he be so petty?
Saying a few words for her in front of Emperor Xuande is just a piece of cake. It's not going to cost their lives. Is it that serious?
Zhuang Shihan was annoyed, but she didn't dare show it on her face. She could only grit her teeth again and again.
Touching her neck, which was extremely swollen and painful, she said with a twinkle in her eyes, "If the prince is willing to help, Shihan will reward you handsomely."
Before she could say anything else, Lin Tingfeng grabbed her wrist, looked at Mo Jinchuan and said, "Your Highness, please don't worry about our private affairs."
Zhuang Shihan felt pain and was about to break free when she heard him say, "Shihan, I will follow you into the palace now."
He actually agreed so readily?
Based on her understanding of him, he should play the emotional card first, trying to win her back with the good times they had in the past and continue to coax her into marrying him.
If this approach doesn't work, start playing the victim, expressing your sincerity and swearing to the sky.
Being soft won't work. He still has leverage in his hand to threaten her, so there's always one trick that will work on her.
So he just agreed to it?
When Zhuang Shihan was pulled away by Lin Tingfeng, she was still in a daze and felt that everything in front of her was a dream.
She pinched herself cruelly, and the moment the intense pain came, she knew that this was not a dream.
What exactly does Lin Tingfeng want to do?
Looking at the two people leaving, Song Yanxi asked Mo Jinchuan the same question.
She didn't think that Lin Tingfeng would let Zhuang Shihan go so easily.
Human greed is endless, especially for people like Lin Tingfeng, who have climbed to this point entirely by climbing high branches and taking shortcuts.
For him, as long as he can achieve his goal faster, he will do whatever it takes.
Zhuang Shihan has both status and the ability to earn money, and she is willing to spend money to help him support his large family.
Lin Tingfeng can be said to have used up all his life's luck to meet her. How could he be willing to let her go?
At least, he would never let Zhuang Shihan go until he had completely drained all her value.
Facing Song Yanxi's worried eyes, Mo Jinchuan chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Lin Tingfeng doesn't have the courage."
