Chapter 177 She Just Said...It Was Love at First Sight
"Are you crazy? If you want to die, don't drag me with you." Song Yanxi looked at Lin Tingfeng's face that looked like a pig's head, raised her hand and then put it down.
So disgusting.
She was afraid that if she touched it, she would not be able to swallow her dinner.
Noticing her disgusted look, Lin Tingfeng's face darkened even more and he reached out to grab her wrist.
Song Yanxi asked coldly, "Don't you want your hand anymore?"
Thinking of the piercing itch on the back of his hand that day, Lin Tingfeng retracted his hand almost instantly, and said angrily, "You vicious woman!"
"Thank you for the compliment, General Lin."
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Yanxi got goosebumps all over her body because she was disgusted by herself.
It turns out that being thick-skinned requires talent.
Looking up at the setting sun, she said impatiently, "General, if you have nothing to do, please move aside. I think you should know that a good dog doesn't block the road."
Lin Tingfeng didn't move at all, just staring at Song Yanxi with gloomy eyes, which made people feel cold on their backs.
Therefore, the ancients often said that it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain. What they meant was that we should guard against insidious villains like him.
Because you are not sure when this person who is used to hiding in the dark will suddenly jump up and bite you hard, and will not let go until he bites off a piece of your flesh.
Seeing that the person in front of her was still motionless and had no intention of giving way, Song Yanxi reminded him coldly: "Last night, Princess Shihan was so protective of you that she even signed a military order in front of all the generals. This was very touching.
If I were General Lin, I would be deeply grateful for her sincerity and would never do anything to make her sad.
Like last night."
Lin Tingfeng's expression became increasingly grim, and he asked in disbelief, "You're actually threatening me with this?"
"If that's what the general thinks, that's fine."
"Song Yanxi, have you forgotten that we are husband and wife who have sworn ties with heaven and earth?"
Perhaps due to excessive emotion, the injured part was pulled, and Lin Tingfeng's face turned pale with pain. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you really think that what he promised you is true?"
Song Yanxi's expression was cold, "I don't understand what the general is saying."
She caught a glimpse of a crimson figure scurrying towards her from a distance. She curled her lips sarcastically and asked, "General Lin, have you thought about how to explain this later?"
"You..." Hearing her extremely distant address, Lin Tingfeng felt the pain in his chest become even worse.
He put his hand on his chest and said in a low voice, "Don't go to the welcoming banquet tonight."
Listening to the tone of his command, Song Yanxi's eyes were filled with even more sarcasm, "If I were General Lin, what I should be most worried about right now is not being laughed at by my colleagues at the dinner, but going back to get a basin of water to look at myself carefully.
I think given Princess Shihan's personality, she wouldn't be willing to sit at the same table with you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhuang Shihan appeared in front of her.
Listening to Song Yanxi's mockery of her lack of vision, she felt angry and annoyed, and couldn't help but retort sarcastically, "I heard someone sober from a long distance away. I was wondering who it was, but it turned out to be the blind and foolish Princess Yong'an."
When Lin Tingfeng heard this, his expression suddenly became even uglier.
He was just about to open his mouth to remind Zhuang Shihan to be more careful, when he heard Song Yanxi laugh instead of being angry: "Yes, it's not that you are blind. You were young and ignorant and fell in love with an ungrateful, heartless and unfaithful man at first sight."
It was obvious that every word was a curse on him, but when Lin Tingfeng heard it, he only felt a tingling sensation in his chest, as if he was being scratched by a cat, and the itch went straight into his heart.
She just said...that she fell in love with him at first sight.
The two met several times between the time they decided on their engagement and the time they got married, but she never showed any love for him, so much so that he once suspected that she was a cold and aloof person.
Even on the day of their wedding, when he took off his veil and told her that he had been ordered to lead the army to aid the north in times of crisis, she just put on a polite smile and told him to be careful.
As the general's wife, she was as perfect as a wooden frame. People could not find any fault with her, nor could they have any other thoughts about her.
Lin Tingfeng even thought at one point that the lady he had gone to great lengths to marry was just a vase suitable for viewing from afar, and was only fit to be placed in the general's mansion.
So when he met the fiery Shi Han, he fell into her without any defense. Under her tender offensive, he even had the absurd idea of faking his own death and forcing her to be buried alive with him and give up her position.
But now, she told him that she had once admired him, even fallen in love with him at first sight.
"Everyone has gone far away, why are you still looking? Do you want me to help you dig out your eyeballs and stick them on her face?" Zhuang Shihan's sinister voice sounded, bringing Lin Tingfeng back to his senses.
His thoughts were exposed, and he became angry and said, "Can you please stop speculating about others with such dirty thoughts every day?"
Zhuang Shihan folded her arms and sneered, "Yes, I am dirty. Who can be as noble as Song Yanxi? It's not enough to have two fish at the same time. The fish pond is almost full.
What's with the love at first sight thing? If that counts, then the men she fell in love with at first sight would probably be lined up from the General's Mansion to the city gate!"
"Don't talk nonsense, she is not that kind of person."
Lin Tingfeng's rebuttal came out completely off the top of his head. Realizing that he was wrong, he added, "The family upbringing at the Yongchuan Marquisate is very strict, and Song has been raised in the boudoir since she was a child, rarely going out. She would definitely not do something as reckless as you're talking about."
Even he himself was unaware of the partiality in his words.
But women have always been sensitive when it comes to emotions.
Especially for someone like Zhuang Shihan who can't tolerate any flaws, she can notice even the slightest change in time.
The look she gave Lin Tingfeng suddenly turned colder. As she turned around, she reminded him faintly, "The dinner is about to start. We have to go back and prepare."
Thinking of the important things to do in the evening, Lin Tingfeng's eyes darkened and he quickened his pace to catch up.

When Song Yanxi pushed Mo Jinchuan in, the hall was already crowded with people, and only the seats at the top were empty.
Xu Xiao was sitting at the bottom, discussing something with his adviser next to him with a serious expression. He caught a glimpse of movement at the door and quickly stood up.
Under his leadership, everyone knelt on the ground, each with an expression of uncontrollable excitement on their face.
Mo Jinchuan smiled, a rare moment on his face, and said gently, "Gentlemen, there is no need to be polite. There are no princes or generals here today. There are only good men who protect the territory of our An country.
There's plenty of wine and meat to go around today, so feel free to speak your mind and drink to your heart's content."
As soon as the words fell, the soldiers all stood up and sat back in their respective seats.
The movements were uniform, as if they had been practiced thousands of times.
Although they were all looking at this side, no one came forward to help.
Because in their eyes, even if their Prince Jin has crippled legs, he is still the strongest man in the entire Da'an, no doubt about it.
If he needed help, he would have asked for it himself, and there was no need for them to act on their own.
Staring at countless gazes, Song Yanxi pushed Mo Jinchuan to the main seat. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Cheng Duan shout, "Hurry up and add a chair for Princess Yong'an. Just put it next to His Royal Highness Prince Jin. The table is so wide that three people can sit."
