Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

Mrs. Shi, Lin Shu and Shi Ying arrived at the carriage at the foot of the mountain.

"Shu'er, you kept holding me back just now, but did you notice something was wrong?"

"Auntie, Mr. Wang is no ordinary person at first glance. I'm afraid we can't afford to offend him." Lin Shu could only hint to Mrs. Shi that Prince Xian's identity was unusual.

"Oh! How did you see it? Why didn't I see it?"

Lin Shu thought for a moment and suddenly knew how to explain it.

"Auntie, don't we want to open a snack shop after the new year! I have done a lot of homework before this, and I also thought about opening a rouge shop or a cloth shop, so I saw some fabrics. The green clothes on the prince's body are made of green cicada wings. The fabric alone costs hundreds of taels, and with the folding fan in his hand and the accessories on his waist, his outfit costs at least tens of thousands taels, so I say we can't afford to offend him."

After hearing Lin Shu's explanation, Mrs. Shi felt scared.

"Fortunately, Mr. Wang didn't blame us, but I didn't remember that there was a family named Wang in the capital with such a distinguished status. There was a sixth-grade minister of household affairs named Wang in the east of the city, but their family was not much better than ours, and the other surnames The king’s family doesn’t have such a big family.”

When Mrs. Shi said this, Lin Shu reminded her.

"Perhaps Mr. Wang didn't tell his real name. His wife died five years ago, and he has a mother and brother at home. He is so well-dressed, still living in the capital, and has a son at home. Who could this be?" Lin Shu asked Prince Xian. She mentioned the important characteristics again. She couldn't directly say that he was King Xian, because she had been staying in the boudoir in this life and didn't know about King Xian.

Mrs. Shi was different. Shi Jingke would tell Mrs. Shi anecdotes about the court every time he went to court, so it stands to reason that Mrs. Shi should be able to guess it.

After Lin Shu reminded her, Mrs. Shi really thought of King Xian.

"Shu'er, that prince is Prince Xian. All information has been matched with Prince Xian. Wang Liqing. Prince Xian Long Jing. His Jing is Li Qing."

Mrs. Shi patted her head regretfully.

"Oh! How did we meet him! Shu'er, we didn't tell him our identity! Will he come to Ying'er later for revenge?"

Shi Ying also leaned in Lin Shu's arms aggrievedly.

"Cousin, did I really get into trouble this time?"

"Auntie, don't worry. If King Xian had blamed Ying'er, he wouldn't have let us go in Yuelao Temple just now. King Xian said that his wife had been dead for five years, and he must have come to Yuelao Temple to seek marriage. He just came to Yuelao Temple from time to time. Looking at Ying'er, I worry that he has fallen in love with Ying'er. Ying'er's temperament is not suitable for living in the royal family. My aunt will go back and discuss with her uncle to quickly find a husband for Ying'er, lest King Xian really falls in love with Ying'er. When the time comes to propose marriage, neither you nor your uncle can refuse."

"Shu'er is right. I'll discuss it with your uncle immediately when I get back. We don't care about being royal relatives. I just want you to spend this life in peace. If it's like you said, Ying'er will have no time to marry. The palace will definitely suffer."

Normally, no matter how much Mrs. Shi beat or scolded Shi Ying, she would not let others bully Shi Ying, not even if Shi Jingke said bad things about Shi Ying.

Mrs. Shi was afraid just thinking about it. If Shi Ying was really attracted by King Xian and married into the palace, Shi Ying would definitely not be used to the many rules in the palace.

Lin Shu said everything she needed to say. As for the decision, it was up to Mrs. Shi and Shi Jingke to discuss it. At least Lin Shu didn't want Shi Ying to marry a man ten years older than herself to fill a house.

Lin Shu herself suffered a lot when she married into a prince's palace in her last life. Shi Ying was a person who had no scheming skills and was straightforward in everything she did. I'm afraid she would suffer even more if she married into a prince's palace.

Shi Ying heard the words between Lin Shu and Mrs. Shi and knew the seriousness of the matter. Moreover, she had a bad first impression of King Xian and did not want to marry him, so she kept leaning on Lin Shu on the way back. On his legs, he is so good.

Even when Lin Shu arrived home, Shi Ying didn't make any fuss and asked Lin Shu to cook delicious food for her. Like a frightened little rabbit, she went home with Mrs. Shi obediently.

Mrs. Shi and Shi Ying returned to the Shi family.

Shi Ying followed Mrs. Shi aggrievedly and shouted:

"mother."

Mrs. Shi turned her head and felt a little distressed when she saw Shi Ying's appearance.

"Hey! Good boy, you are tired from hiking today. Go back to your room and rest first. I will go and talk to your father. Don't worry, mother will not let you be wronged."

Mrs. Shi touched Shi Ying's face, wiped the dust from Shi Ying's face, and clapped her hands to tell Shi Ying to go back to rest.

After Mrs. Shi talked to Shi Jingke, Shi Jingke was also shocked.

"No wonder King Xian told me that there is a temple fair today. It turns out that he himself is going. Does King Xian know your identities?"

Mrs. Shi recalled it carefully.

"He probably doesn't know. He didn't mention our identities throughout the whole process."

What Mrs. Shi didn't know was that King Xian already knew their identities, so he didn't ask about them during the whole process.

"That's good. Just in case, we won't choose how many more matchmakers you can invite tomorrow. As long as you are willing to marry Ying'er and your character is not very bad, it will be fine."

The Queen Mother knew about King Xian's visit to Yuelao Temple and thought that King Xian had figured it out and wanted to marry again, so she called Achang to ask about the real situation.

"Back to the Queen Mother, your main purpose is not to offer incense, but to meet the girl."

"Oh!" The Queen Mother was delighted.

"Which girl is she from?"

"She is the daughter of Mr. Shi Jingke, a sixth-grade imperial court official. The prince accidentally met Miss Shi and admired Miss Shi's temperament. So he secretly inquired and found out that Mrs. Shi was going to take Miss Shi to Yuelao Temple, so the prince took his servant with him. Went together."

"What's the result? Did Miss Shi have a crush on the prince?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, the prince and Miss Shi had some misunderstandings. Mrs. Shi looked a little unhappy when she left. I'm afraid they didn't like the prince!"

"It's unreasonable. They don't like the sons of the Ai family, so how much do they think of them!"

Seeing that something was wrong, Achang thought that he could not hinder King Xian, so he quickly explained the cause and effect to the Queen Mother, and also told the Queen Mother about the good deeds done by Shi Jingke and his wife in order to win the Queen Mother's favor.

The Queen Mother finally felt much better after hearing this.

"Achang, according to your prince's temperament, I'm afraid the Ai family doesn't know how long it will take to see Jing'er get married again. You have been with Jing'er since she was a child, so you might as well help the Ai family think about it and let your master get married as soon as possible. "

Achang didn't know what to do. King Xian wanted to follow his own pace and use his own charm to make Shi Ying fall in love with him. Judging from what happened at Yuelao Temple, King Xian was a bit self-defeating.

Achang rolled his eyes and had an idea instantly. The Queen Mother would definitely agree, but she was just afraid that King Xian would be unhappy.

But Achang didn't care. At worst, he would be scolded by King Xian, but he would have one more mistress.
