A tall, imposing man with a cold and aloof demeanor and sharp features walked in.
Lin Fu felt her heart pounding wildly.
He and his husband were completely different types: one was the handsome scholar, and the other was the masculine soldier.
Compared to the scholar, she realized that she also liked this type, and even more so than her husband, she found it harder to control herself around the man who entered.
At this moment, Lin Fu only regretted that she had met him too late.
Lin Fu instantly transformed from being sharp-tongued and sarcastic to being gentle and vulnerable, and gracefully bowed to Tang Jian as he entered.
"Are you brother-in-law? I'm Lin Fu, my sister's fourth younger sister. It's a pleasure to meet you. You're just as dashing as the rumors say!"
Lin Zao listened with a sour feeling in her teeth. Could it be that her younger sister was trying to seduce her husband?
Immediately, Lin Zao glared at Tang Jian, wanting to see how he would respond.
Tang Jian's eyes flashed with a smile upon seeing Lin Zao's appearance, but he immediately turned to Lin Fu with a cold expression:
"So you're the sister who picked up the man this general's wife didn't even want and treated him like a treasure?"
He feigned a sigh: "This general should thank you for taking Wang Xuzhi away, otherwise how would this general have had the opportunity to marry such a gentle and virtuous woman as Madam?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Fu blushed with embarrassment at Tang Jian's words, her mouth opening and closing several times before she was at a loss for words.
Sitting in the chair, Lin Zao raised an eyebrow. She hadn't expected Tang Jian to say something so sarcastic.
But looking at Lin Fu's expression, it was quite satisfying.
Lin Fu caught a glimpse of Lin Zao's gloating expression out of the corner of her eye, and angrily shouted without regard for anything else.
"What kind of good person do you think Lin Zao is? She already had a lover when she was still a young lady. You still treat her like a treasure. She's nothing but a used woman!"
Tang Jian's sharp gaze instantly pierced Lin Fu, his voice turning dangerous, "What did you say?"
Lin Fu was startled by Tang Jian's sudden change of expression and stammered, "I... I'm telling the truth, she just admitted it herself!"
Tang Jian kicked a chair away with a 'whoosh', shouting, "Who gave you permission to slander my wife like that! Don't think I don't hit women, get out of here!"
Tang Jian's angry shout startled Lin Fu, causing her heart to stop. Her face paled, and she tried to rush out from Tang Jian.
"Wait!" Tang Jian called out to the person.
Lin Fu stopped in her tracks.
"If I hear anything I shouldn't hear outside, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Yes, yes..." Lin Fu replied softly and quickly ran out with her maid.
When Lin Zao first saw Tang Jian lose his temper, she thought he really believed Lin Fu's words.
He looked at Tang Jian in disbelief.
Tang Jian turned his head and saw Lin Zao's wide-eyed expression, and couldn't help but chuckle:
"Why does my wife look like that? Is there something you want to tell your husband? What lover? Hmm?"
How could he possibly be angry? He had never doubted her from beginning to end.
However, judging from his wife's expression, she clearly didn't trust him enough; it seemed he needed to be taught a lesson.
Hearing Tang Jian's smiling tone, Lin Zao realized that Tang Jian wasn't really angry; he was just bluffing. She immediately felt relieved.
He got a little angry again and deliberately tried to scare her, replying angrily:
"What lover? I've had way too many lovers in the past. Which one are you asking about?"
Tang Jian choked a little, almost laughing in anger. His wife was too vengeful.
