Chapter 88 The whole family's unpresentable stuff
Song Yanxi's face darkened as she scolded, "It's ridiculous! How could there be such fearless thieves who would come to the General's Mansion to steal in broad daylight?
Not to mention the guests in the front and back yards, there are dozens of guards inside and outside. We absolutely cannot allow anyone else to enter the mansion. Stop talking nonsense here. You can't afford to disturb the guests!"
"Madam, please be wise. Everything I said is true!" The little maid kowtowed so much that her forehead was broken.
Madam Qiu said, "I don't think this girl is lying. Maybe there really is some trouble in the mansion."
"Impossible!" Song Yanxi said firmly.
Her eyes flickered, as if she had thought of something, and she explained, "There are so many visitors to the mansion today. This girl may have just arrived and hasn't seen such a grand scene before, so she's dazzled for a moment."
Everyone didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but after hearing her explanation that was trying to cover up the truth, they smelled something different.
Someone whispered, "I haven't seen Madam Lin for a long time."
"Is she the one who went to Shuntian Prefecture a few days ago to file a complaint about the theft of her dowry? If I remember correctly, it should be the daughter of the Zhou family."
"Shh, keep your voices down. Don't disturb Princess Huayang."
Thinking of the excitement, Miss Xu Er quickly said, "Sister Song, take us over to take a look. If there really are bad guys, don't hurt Miss Lin."
Song Yanxi's eyes flashed with worry, and she blurted out, "I really haven't seen my aunt today."
Upon hearing this, a trace of disgust flashed in Madam Xu's eyes. "Maybe he is being detained in the courtyard to learn the rules."
Mrs. Qiu smiled and said, "It's always good for a daughter to learn more about etiquette. It's better to suffer a little at home than to go to her husband's family and bring shame to her own family."
The two of them sang in unison, and when people thought about the bad rumors about Lin Tingxuan a few days ago, the expressions on everyone's faces became more subtle than each other.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Isn't Miss Lin San about to reach the age of marriage? Isn't it a bit late to learn the rules now?"
Song Yanxi replied, "The end of next month is my aunt's coming-of-age ceremony."
"You are a thoughtful sister-in-law. You even remember your sister-in-law's birthday." Mrs. Xu smiled more.
She glared at Miss Xu Er with a reproachful look and said, "Go hang out with your sister Song more often and learn from her. This way you won't always find Nanny's teaching of rules too boring."
Miss Xu stuck out her tongue and said "I see" three times in a row, which made everyone laugh.
Fearing that the general's mansion had really been robbed and the women in the household had no power to resist, Madam Xu specifically called Song Xubai, who wanted to avoid suspicion, and also asked a few strong servants to follow along the way.
The group went to Lanxuanyuan where Lin Tingxuan lived.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, someone noticed something was wrong.
The gate of the courtyard was open, but there was not even a maid serving at the door.
"Could something really have happened?"
Song Yanxi's expression changed slightly. She rushed in regardless of everyone's attempts to stop her and shouted, "Is my aunt in the house?"
The answer she got was a woman's painful moan.
Before Song Yanxi could go in, Yan Qing, who had been there before, rushed over and stopped her.
Hearing the unbearable noise coming from the house, the ladies who followed closely stopped, their faces changed again and again, and they pulled their daughters and walked out.
"Why did mother stop me?" Song Yanxi asked with a frown.
Yan Qing's face turned pale and blue, and he didn't know how to explain.
Madam Xu turned around with a sullen face and said angrily, "My Lady, please don't ask about such shameful and dirty things, lest you pollute everyone's ears."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud shout from inside the house.
"What is going on?" Some people who were too shy to stand still pulled their daughters and wanted to leave.
Seeing that Song Yanxi still looked puzzled, Madam Qiu said angrily, "What a bunch of bastards this family is. The old one slanders Yanxi's reputation outside, and the young one brings wild men into the yard behind closed doors. This family is really eye-opening!"
As if she understood something, Song Yanxi said firmly: "Aunt must have misunderstood. My aunt is definitely not that kind of person."
She hesitated for a moment before continuing, "My mother-in-law has always been very kind to me. Those slanderous words were definitely not her doing."
Hearing that she was still defending the Lin family mother and daughter at this time, Mrs. Qiu was so angry that she laughed. With a look of disappointment on her face, she said, "Silly girl, how could you think those two were good people? I'm afraid that you will be sold out by them in the future, and you will have to help them count the money!"
Without waiting for Song Yanxi to speak, she pointed to a few older women in the crowd and said, "Go in, tie up that wild man, and send him to the authorities."
Yan Qing pretended to stop her and said with embarrassment: "I'm afraid Madam Qiu's behavior is inappropriate."
"What's wrong with that?" Mrs. Qiu became even more angry and asked, "In broad daylight, she can even do such a despicable thing. Is she still afraid of shame?"
Several old women rolled up their sleeves and rushed in. Soon, women's screams and curses were heard from the house.
Song Yanxi's body swayed slightly, and she asked in disbelief, "How could this be?"
Zhuzhi stopped her from entering the house and advised, "Young lady, please don't look at it, or you will have another nightmare."
"Again?" Mrs. Qiu's eyebrows twitched slightly. "Little girl, do you know something?"
Song Yanxi scolded softly: "Zhuzhi, stop talking nonsense!"
Zhuzhi looked at her, quickly knelt down, and said, "Madam Qiu, please don't ask. I know nothing."
But it was clear that he didn't know what she looked like, it was just that he didn't dare to say it.
Could it be that what happened today is not the first time?
As everyone was guessing, they saw a figure rushing out of the house and heading straight for Song Yanxi.
In the sunlight, the scissors in the man's hand reflected a terrifying cold light.
"Song Yanxi, you bitch, I'm going to kill you!"
"Girl, be careful!"
Amidst the exclamations, a figure rushed in from outside the yard at an extremely fast speed, and kicked the man out with a fierce kick just before the scissors fell.
"Bang!"
The disheveled woman fell heavily to the ground and vomited blood.
She slowly raised her head and looked in the direction of Song Yanxi, her scarlet eyes filled with hatred.
Only then did everyone see Lin Tingxuan's face clearly and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
When no one was seen just now, even if everyone knew the truth, there was still a layer of fig leaf. As long as it was not exposed, the general's mansion could find any excuse to cover it up.
But now that everyone has seen it with their own eyes, even if Lin Tingxuan has a mouth all over her body, she can’t explain it.
Her reputation is completely ruined.
From now on, not to mention marrying into the Liu family, even marrying into an ordinary honest family in Beijing would be impossible.
After waking up, Lin Tingxuan had only one thought, which was to kill Song Yanxi.
Obviously, everything today was prepared for her.
According to her arrangement, after today, Song Yanxi will become a notorious slut who is hated by everyone in the capital, and she will have to live in the dark corner of the general's mansion with her tail between her legs.
But when she woke up, everything was messed up.
It's all this bitch's fault. She ruined her. She must die!
Lin Tingxuan struggled to get up from the ground, picked up the scissors that fell to the ground, and rushed towards Song Yanxi like crazy.
Song Xubai kicked the scissors out of her hand and immediately turned around without daring to look at her any more.
Without the scissors, Lin Tingxuan pulled out a golden hairpin from her head and stabbed Song Yanxi with it.
“Go to hell!”
