Chapter 856: Uncle Zhuang, I regret it
The eunuch's smile froze on his face.
Lin Tingfeng's face darkened, and he turned around and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you really confused?"
As he spoke, he didn't wait for Zhuang Shihan to speak, but smiled at the eunuch and said, "It's getting late, so we won't bother you anymore."
"Mr. Lin, you..."
Zhuang Shihan took two steps forward, but before she could say anything else, Lin Tingfeng quickly silenced her.
She glared angrily and said silently: "You are shameless!"
Relying on his little martial arts skills, he actually used such despicable tricks against her. What kind of man is he!
Ignoring her murderous look, Lin Tingfeng grabbed her wrist and turned to leave.
Seeing that she couldn't break free, Zhuang Shihan raised her other hand and slapped him decisively.
There was a crisp "pop" sound, which was particularly abrupt in front of the solemn palace gate.
The next moment, the royal guards on both sides drew their swords halfway and took a defensive stance.
The eunuch looked like he was enjoying the show, and waved his hand, saying, "The young couple are just joking around, put the swords away quickly."
Zhuang Shihan's eyes suddenly widened as she silently shouted, "Who is married to this shameless villain?"
The distance was too far, so the eunuch could only see her somewhat ferocious expression. He whispered to the imperial guards beside him, "You must remember this from now on: marry a virtuous woman. A woman like Princess Shihan is unacceptable."
He chuckled and sighed, "Even for half-men like us who want to find someone to live with, we don't want to do this."
Just then, a gust of wind blew in front of the palace gate, carrying his next sentence word for word to Lin Tingfeng's ears.
Although the voice was soft, he still heard it clearly.
Now even a lowly eunuch dares to laugh at him, a dignified general.
And all of this is because of the shrew in front of me.
Zhuang Shihan didn't have very good hearing and didn't hear the eunuch's muttering, but she could clearly feel the murderous look in Lin Tingfeng's eyes when he looked at her.
Her hand slowly moved to her waist, and when she felt the coolness of the iron in her palm, her tense mood was mostly relieved.
If Lin Tingfeng dares to attack her again, don't blame her for being ruthless.
Noticing her movements, Lin Tingfeng's eyes darkened and he grabbed her wrist and twisted it backhanded.
"Ah!" Zhuang Shihan screamed, her face pale as she cursed, "What are you crazy about? You must be mentally ill!"
Lin Tingfeng snatched the dagger from her hand without a word. Looking at the serpentine pattern on it, which symbolized the Liang Kingdom's royal family, he asked gloomily, "Did Wen Qi give it to you?"
Zhuang Shihan's eyes flickered slightly, and she said coldly, "This is my own business, you don't need to care about it."
"Bitch!" Lin Tingfeng's eyes were bloodshot, and he slapped her to the ground with his backhand.
Looking at the sapphire inlaid on the dagger, which symbolized supreme status in Liang State, he suddenly wanted to kill.
He was a man and he knew very well under what circumstances Wen Qi, a prince, would give a dagger that symbolized his status to a foreign woman.
This bitch, how dare she tease him like this?
Zhuang Shihan was completely stunned by the slap. She sat on the ground with her face covered, unable to recover.
When Lin Tingfeng grabbed her collar and lifted her up from the ground, she suddenly came to her senses and stared at him intently.
The look in her eyes clearly said that if anything happened to her, the entire Lin family would be buried with her.
Even without Wen Qi's help, she could do it on her own.
Feeling her silent threat, veins bulged on Lin Tingfeng's forehead, and he tried his best to suppress the urge to strangle her to death.
He had a gloomy face and almost squeezed out two words from between his teeth.
"Poisonous woman!"
Zhuang Shihan pried open his fingers little by little, and when a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, she smiled brightly at Lin Tingfeng.
She opened her lips and said silently, "Thanks to you."

The Duke's Mansion.
Bai Qing stood at the door holding an umbrella, looking at the lonely figure slowly walking towards him in the rain. He curled the corners of his lips and quickly walked towards him.
He said anxiously, "It's raining so hard, why didn't the boss take an umbrella? I'm soaked through."
Holding the umbrella over Zhuang Shihan's head, Bai Qing noticed the finger marks on her face and the horrifying pinch marks on her neck.
His face darkened for a moment, and he asked angrily, "Did Lin Tingfeng hit you?"
Zhuang Shihan glanced at him and pointed to her mouth.
Realizing something, Bai Qing was about to take action, but suddenly he thought of something and quickly withdrew his hand. He said with a guilty look on his face, "Boss, I'm sorry, I don't know martial arts."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Shihan said nothing, but walked past him towards the gate of the Duke's Mansion.
Zhuang Fu happened to come out to close the door, and when he saw her soaked like a drowned rat, he couldn't help but look surprised.
As far as he could remember, his eldest daughter had never been in such a miserable state.
No, now she is no longer the eldest daughter of our family.
When they got closer and shone the lantern above their heads, Zhuang Fu could clearly see the injuries on Zhuang Shihan's face.
He didn't show it on his face, but what he was thinking in his heart was that it was a good thing that the Duke was not here at the moment.
Otherwise, if he saw his daughter, whom he once cherished like a treasure, being hurt like this outside, he would definitely be extremely anxious.
Bai Qing quickly stepped forward, bowed to Zhuang Fu, and said, "The master has been mute. I don't know any martial arts, so I'd like to trouble the steward Zhuang to help me."
Zhuang Fu frowned, raised his hand to release Zhuang Shihan's mute muscles, and asked in a deep voice, "Was the princess's injury caused by General Lin?"
Bai Qing had asked the same question just now.
Zhuang Shihan didn't even have the energy to look at him, let alone say anything to him.
But when she heard Zhuang Fu's question, her eyes instantly turned red and she cried, "Uncle Zhuang, he hit me."
A trace of heartache flashed in Zhuang Fu's eyes.
After all, she was the child he had watched grow up, and the only blood of his long-time boss and brother. Even if he was angry with her, it was hard for him not to be moved when he saw her being bullied like this.
Thinking about Lin Tingfeng's character, he frowned and said, "Princess, General Lin is not a good man."
Zhuang Fu had advised Zhuang Shihan these words when she first returned to Beijing.
He and Zhuang Yuanzhong were both experienced people who had spent most of their lives in the military camp. They could tell at a glance that Lin Tingfeng was not someone worthy of trust.
But she seemed to be possessed by a demon. No matter what they said or how they persuaded her, even if their lips were worn out, it was useless.
Because of this, the Duke's Mansion even became a laughing stock among the people.
When Zhuang Shihan heard what Zhuang Fu said, her tears fell even harder.
She choked up and said, "Uncle Zhuang, I regret it."
Zhuang Fu sighed, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Long before she took the plunge, they had already said all the words of advice to her, both good and bad.
He and the Duke had anticipated her regret.
But he really didn't expect that Lin Tingfeng would not even be willing to wait for more than half a month before their wedding this month.
How could such a person be worthy of her entrusting her life to?
Seeing Zhuang Fu remain silent, Zhuang Shihan felt even more aggrieved. She gently tugged at his sleeve, like she did when they were little, and asked, "Uncle Zhuang, are you still mad at me for saying that to you in front of everyone else last time?"
Zhuang Fu shook his head, "This old servant is not angry with the princess."
Zhuang Shihan's eyes turned even redder, and she asked aggrievedly, "If you're not angry, why do you keep calling me Princess?"
