At the palace banquet, the civil officials and military generals started arguing again. The emperor, emboldened by wine, took hold of Chancellor Lü and General Lin Kun. "You two are my right and left arms. You must get along. Why not join our families in marriage?"
One drunken remark later, Lü Zhizhi was promised to Lin Kun. The Chancellor's wife wept herself unconscious several times, convinced that her delicate, beautiful daughter would be tortured to death by that Lin family devil.
Lü Zhizhi was terrified too, but she nervously married into the Lin family.
And so a new feud sprang up between the civil and military factions: the Chancellor's family had stolen their beauty!
Lin Kun couldn't stand Lü Zhizhi. She looked so frail, spoke so softly, feared the cold, the heat, and bugs, and could even choke on a sip of water.
If he raised his voice just a little, her eyes would turn red, as if she were about to faint at any moment.
Just like her treacherous minister of a father!
.
Lately, Chancellor Lü had fewer and fewer responsibilities at court, and rumors said he was preparing to retire to his hometown. Lin Kun, on the other hand, was thriving more than ever.
The military generals were delighted. They felt they would no longer have to put up with the civil officials, and said Lin Kun's next move would surely be to divorce his wife.
They went to the Lin residence to congratulate him, only to find Lin Kun pacing back and forth in the hall, deep in thought.
When Lin Kun heard the words "divorce his wife," his face darkened. He immediately left them behind, mounted his horse, and headed for the Chancellor's residence.
Someone said he must be going there to divorce his wife.
At the Chancellor's residence, Lin Kun strode into the study and found the treacherous Chancellor feeding the birds.
He walked over, bent at the waist, and grinned. "Zhizhi has been at her parents' home for three days. Can I take her back today, Dad?"
