Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

Lin Shu looked into Su Yi's eyes with a smile. Every time Su Yi called her wife, her eyes were filled with light.

Although Su Yi is a man, Lin Shu likes it when Su Yi calls her 'wife' in Su Su's tone.

Lin Shu opened her mouth and ate the wontons fed by Su Yi.

Lin Shu held her chin with both hands and looked at Su Yi happily.

"Husband, I never thought that we could be like this when we are together. Originally, I thought I had to sacrifice my freedom, take care of my husband and raise my children at home, and serve my husband."

Lin Shu looked at Su Yi's eyes seriously, especially the mole in the corner of Su Yi's eye. Every morning when she woke up, Lin Shu would touch it gently with her hand.

"Later, with your support, I opened a snack shop with my aunt and cousin, doing what I like. It feels so good."

Su Yi reached out and touched Lin Shu's head.

"Fool, as long as you are happy, as long as I am here, you can do whatever you like. Doesn't it mean that you can't be yourself after you get married? Haven't you always supported me in doing what I like to do? In the past two days, In Dali Temple, I also found the meaning of my life. First, I rehabilitated some people. If I stay in Dali Temple for one day, I will never let that kind of injustice happen again."

The two looked at each other and smiled. After Su Yi finished eating, Lin Shu wiped the sweat on Su Yi's face with a handkerchief. After a while, the two held hands and walked home.

They also passed by the door of the restaurant where Xiao Yan was, but Lin Shu and Su Yi only had each other in their world at the moment, and they didn't realize that there were eyes staring at them from behind.

"Master, Mr. Su and Miss Lin Shu have gone far. You haven't eaten much yet. Do you want to eat more?" Wang Xiaowu reminded Xiao Yan at the right time that it was time for them to leave.

"No need, Xiao Wang, take back all the things Mouse bought, and the snacks will be your supper tonight."

Xiao Yan turned around again and said to the mouse:

"Mouse, in addition to monitoring Lin Shu, you will go to her shop every day to buy sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus seed porridge for your father-in-law, and bring it over when you report to your father-in-law every night. Remember not to reveal your identity." Xiao Yan reminded Mouse to disguise himself.

Regardless of whether it was the previous life or this life, apart from Xiao Yan, only Wang Xiaowu knew about the existence of the mouse. Xiao Yan's mother, Mrs. Hou, Lin Shu in the previous life and Wang Jingxuan in this life did not know about it.

Seeing Lin Shu and Su Yi together stimulated Xiao Yan, and some thoughts that had been buried in his heart came out, that is...

He wanted to get Lin Shu at any cost and means, and he didn't care whether Lin Shu had ever married before.

When Xiao Yan was about to leave, he discovered the leftover osmanthus and lotus seed porridge he had just drank, so he sat down and drank the remaining osmanthus and lotus seed porridge before leaving the restaurant.

Xiao Yan arrived at his own silk and satin shop.

"The young one has met the Duke."

It was getting late, and the owner of the silk and satin shop was preparing to pack up and close the door. Suddenly he saw Xiao Yan walking in and quickly saluted Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan sat directly at the head seat of the Silk Satin Mansion.

"No need to be too polite, just take the account book and the income earned during this period. You won't have to send it to the Duke's Mansion this month."

"Yes."

The shopkeeper stood up and brought the account book according to Xiao Yan's instructions.

Xiao Yan looked at the account book and asked Wang Xiaowu to count the banknotes and money.

"Xiao Wu, how much is the total?" When Xiao Yan saw Wang Xiaowu raise his head, he knew that Wang Xiaowu had already counted it.

"Hui Master, the total is one thousand, three hundred and forty six taels, and there are still copper plates to count. There are about two hundred copper plates."

Xiao Yan's eyes seemed to have no focus, and his dark eyes were full of anger. He looked at the shopkeeper and said:

"Shopkeeper, there are more than 340 taels in your account book. Where did the shortfall of [-] go?"

The shopkeeper's legs suddenly became weak and he knelt on the ground.

"My lord, my wife has told me that eldest son Wang can withdraw money from the store at any time. He can just reimburse her when the time comes. Yesterday, eldest son Wang came to withdraw 3000 taels."

"How many times has he been here? How much silver did he take?"

"Master Hui Guo came here three times in total. In the three months since the Duke's wife took over, he took away a total of 1 taels. The first time was 2000 taels. Last month, the profit was good, and he took away 5000 taels. Did you take away another 3000 taels yesterday?" The shopkeeper replied in detail, already sweating from fear.

"Is there a receipt for the money he took away?" Xiao Yan thought that he could use the receipt to recover the 1 taels. After all, why should he use money to support his uncle?

"My lord, when I returned home, I was careful and asked the eldest son Wang to sign on the blank paper. The eldest son Wang was anxious every time he came to get money, so he signed in a hurry."

Xiao Yan nodded with satisfaction. He was worthy of being the one he brought out, so he knew how to be cautious.

"It's been three months, why don't you tell me?"

"My lord, your wife is pregnant. Every time I mention you, she makes excuses. I'm afraid that something will happen to her, so I don't dare to tell you directly. Instead, I secretly send someone to tell me first." Someone said something.”

Xiao Yan understood the shopkeeper's difficulties. Three months ago, Wang Jingxuan forced her mother to give her housekeeping rights and warehouse keys.

"In the future, except for my father-in-law, if I don't have my father-in-law's belt, I won't give it to anyone who comes to take money from the account. What about the three blank pieces of paper?"

"Here it is." The shopkeeper took it out from his sleeve and brought it with him when he just got the account book.

Xiao Yan asked Wang Xiaowu to take the account book, and the two of them went to the next house.

Xiao Yan and Wang Xiaowu went to several properties under the name of the Duke's Mansion and found that Wang Jingxuan's eldest brother had been there. Adding up the several properties, Wang Jingxuan's eldest brother took away a total of 15 taels of silver notes.

Xiao Yan looked at the blank papers left by several shopkeepers.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He didn't just want to write as much as he wanted. He wanted the Wang family to repay him twice as much.

Xiao Yan wants to tell the Wang family that just because he married Wang Jingxuan, it does not mean that they can get into trouble with her.

So Xiao Yan first took out a piece of paper, which said that Wang Jingxuan's eldest brother went to the store to collect money and took away the 2 taels of silver notes on the account. Then he wrote 5 taels on the second piece of paper. Chapter 3 said 3 taels. Just these three IOUs can get you back [-] taels, not to mention that Xiao Yan has more than three in his hands.

Because Xiao Yan was delayed watching the interaction between Su Yi and Lin Shu in the afternoon, Xiao Yan planned to go to the Wang family to settle accounts the next day.

After returning to the Duke's Mansion, Xiao Yan went to see his mother first as usual. After telling his mother about today's audit, he walked towards Wang Jingxuan's residence.

Under Xiao Yan's instructions, two experienced women were added to Wang Jingxuan's yard. Wang Jingxuan restrained himself a lot that day, and Qiu'er no longer suffered any severe beatings from Wang Jingxuan.

"Where's Madam?" Xiao Yan asked the guard guarding the entrance of Wang Jingxuan's courtyard.
