Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

After fighting for most of the night, it ended with the defeat of the Sixth Prince.

In anger, the emperor first threw the sixth prince into prison and then fainted. Before he fainted, he temporarily handed over the affairs of state to the prince, with Prince Xian assisting him.

Xiao Yan led his people to clean up the streets of the capital. This life did not suffer as heavy losses as in the previous life. Xiao Yan used his prophet and teamed up with the prince to minimize the harm to the people.

On the seventh and eighth day of the first lunar month, the prince and Xiao Yan had almost dealt with the Sixth Prince's people, and most of them were imprisoned in Dali Temple to await their punishment.

On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, the capital returned to its former peace. According to the agreement, Chen Laoer drove a carriage to Shi Mansion early that morning to pick up Lin Shu and others to go home.

As for Shi Ying and Long Yuqi, on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, King Xian had people clean up Prince Xian's Mansion and then personally went to Shi Mansion to take them back to Prince Xian's Mansion.

The Sixth Prince's matter came to an end, Xiao Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief and could focus some of his attention on Mrs. Hou Wang Jingxuan.

Wang Jingxuan was released from the ancestral hall. After two months of consultation with Mrs. Hou, she lost some weight.

"I have met my mother, and I have met the Marquis."

Seeing that Wang Jingxuan behaved and spoke more dignifiedly, Xiao Yan felt a little better.

"Is it good to reflect on these days?" Xiao Yan asked.

"Back to the Marquis, I know I was wrong. As the wife of the Marquis, I should put you and your mother first, instead of attending banquets and showing off just to satisfy your own vanity."

Xiao Yan ate his breakfast and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

"I will go back to my room to rest today, and you can send someone to the study to move my things back."

Seeing that Xiao Yan finally had time to go back to his room to sleep, Mrs. Hou did not embarrass Wang Jingxuan too much. After all, she still had to hold her grandson.

So Wang Jingxuan temporarily gained some say in the Hou Mansion.

Three months after Xiao Yan returned to his room, good news came from Wang Jingxuan's belly. In order for Wang Jingxuan to take good care of her baby, Xiao Yan moved out of the main hospital.

Mrs. Hou was also happy because Wang Jingxuan was pregnant and personally took care of Wang Jingxuan's daily life. Wang Jingxuan's tail was almost raised to the sky for a while. She knew that as long as she gave birth to her legitimate son, she would have something to rely on in her future life.

At this time, spring is about to begin.

Shi Jingke, his wife and Lin Shu sent Shi Muze and Su Yi to the examination room. Lin Shu, Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Sun were very attentive and prepared everything for Shi Muze and Su Yi.

Lin Shu helped Su Yi tidy up his collar again.

"Husband, you answer the questions well in the examination room, and I will take care of everything at home."

Shi Jingke looked at Shi Muze and Su Yi.

"Son! You two have to give me a shout-out."

"Father (uncle), don't worry, I will do my best."

When Su Yi and Shi Muze entered the examination room, Shi Jingke, his wife, Sun and Lin Shu left in a carriage.

Lin Shu won't worry because Shi Muze and Su Yi both passed the exam in their previous lives. Now she just needs to go home and wait patiently.

Soon the day came when the list was released, and Su Yi's name appeared in the top three. Although Shi Muze's name was a little lower, it was also on the list.

In the past three months, the emperor was seriously ill and abdicated to the prince. He became the emperor himself and took the queen mother to the palace to recuperate.

On April 250th of the year [-] of Longyuan Kingdom, the prince ascended the throne, and the world called the new emperor Landi.

Because of Xiao Yan's meritorious service in helping the prince, after the prince ascended the throne, he promoted Xiao Yan to a higher rank and made Xiao Yan the Duke of Xiao. From a first-grade official position, he got the actual responsibility of managing Dali Temple.

In the past, Xiao Yan only helped the prince manage some of the duties of Dali Temple, but now he manages all the duties of Dali Temple.

Because many of the Sixth Prince's minions were eliminated, many positions were vacant after Emperor Lan ascended the throne.

Xiao Yan got the imperial examination list from Emperor Lan. Emperor Lan asked Xiao Yan to select a few people to go to Dali Temple to help Xiao Yan manage Dali Temple.

Because some of the people in Dali Temple were members of the Sixth Prince and were removed from their posts, now there are also very many positions in Dali Temple.

Xiao Yan saw Su Yi in the top three on the list at a glance. He remembered that in his previous life, this Su Yi was also sent to Dali Temple and became his subordinate. He remembered that among these people, only Su Yi was upright and selfless and would not accept anyone's bribes. Bribes are often put on the back foot by others. There are very few upright people like Su Yi in this world.

Xiao Yan smiled knowingly. Such a person was suitable for him to work with. Apart from being too upright sometimes and not knowing how to adapt, he had no other shortcomings.

Xiao Yan still remembered that Su Yi had not married a wife for three years as an official. In order to win over Su Yi, many officials wanted to marry their daughters to Su Yi, but Su Yi refused. In this life, Xiao Yan plans to let Su Yi continue to work for him. , Xiao Yan plans to help Su Yi find a wife if possible.

What Xiao Yan didn't know was that Su Yi was already married in this life, and was still with Lin Shu, Xiao Yan's wife in his previous life.

Soon all the newly admitted candidates were assigned official positions. Su Yi was named by Xiao Yan himself and became the Minister of Dali Temple, a third-grade official.

Originally, Emperor Lan didn't know how to arrange Shi Muze. After all, Shi Muze was now King Xian's brother-in-law. Originally, the Shi family had a low status. If the official position was set at a high level, he was afraid that others would be dissatisfied. If the official position was set at a low level, he was afraid that King Xian would be displeased.

As a result, King Xian directly told Emperor Lan that he and Shi Jingke both wanted Shi Muze to become an idle official like Shi Jingke.

So Emperor Lan arranged Shi Muze to the Ministry of Household Affairs and became a small director of the Household Department. He only needed to check and distribute the officials' monthly money every month.

On June 250st of the year [-] of Longyuan Kingdom, the first day of the new official's morning court, exactly one year and eleven days had passed since Xiao Yan and Lin Shu were reborn.

On this day, God once again intertwined the fates of Xiao Yan, Lin Shu and even Su Yi.

"The meals Master Su brought are so exquisite. He must have a good wife at home!"

Xiao Yan turned his head and looked at the food box in Su Yi's hand. Last year, after Shi Jingke brought the food box to the morning court, everyone imitated it and ate the food in the food box before waiting for the morning court.

Xiao Yan looked at the delicate arrangement in Su Yi's hand and felt very familiar, and suddenly glanced at the purse on Su Yi's waist.

"Xiao Guogong, what are you looking at?" Su Yi couldn't help but ask when he saw Xiao Yan staring at his waist in a daze.

"It's nothing, I just think the purse around your waist looks familiar. My father-in-law also has a very similar one."

Xiao Yan touched his waist and suddenly remembered that it was from his previous life. It was the purse Lin Shu made for him personally.

Xiao Yan touched nothing for a long time and smiled awkwardly.

"I forgot, I lost it before."

Although Su Yi thought Xiao Yan was a little strange, he didn't say much.

"My wife made this for me with her own hands. She even went to the temple to consecrate it. There was a peace talisman embroidered in it because she was worried that I would be safe when I first came to the court. I think Xiao Guogong must be my wife as well. Make it with your own hands!”

"My wife did it herself. Wait...are you married?" Xiao Yan subconsciously answered Su Yi's question, but suddenly realized that Su Yi said he was married.

Su Yi nodded.

Xiao Yan combined Su Yi's exquisite meals and the purse around his waist, his heart was clenching, and he had a bad guess in his mind.
