Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

"My lord, my subordinates have been guarding the door according to your instructions. My wife is also being taken care of by my mother-in-law in the yard."

After hearing this, Xiao Yan raised his feet and walked in. He originally thought that he had made it clear to Wang Jingxuan. After today's audit, there were still some things that he had to make clear to Wang Jingxuan.

Wang Jingxuan heard the movement at the entrance of the courtyard and knew that Xiao Yan was coming. She knew that Xiao Yan had come back late to check the accounts, so she quickly arranged her clothes and hair and stood in the room waiting for Xiao Yan to come in.

"I have met you personally."

Xiao Yan glanced at the food on the table coldly, and then sat down at the main seat.

"What? The food tonight is not to your liking?"

"Master, my stomach is upset. I have no appetite today." As soon as Xiao Yan came in, his face was dark the whole time, which made Wang Jingxuan feel scared.

"I'm afraid I know that my father-in-law is coming to settle a score with you tonight, and I'm worried, so I don't have the appetite!"

Xiao Yan slapped the table hard, making Wang Jingxuan tremble.

As for why Wang Jingxuan was so afraid of Xiao Yan, it was because on the day the Sixth Prince rebelled, Xiao Yan came back in blood-stained clothes with murderous eyes. But by that time, Wang Jingxuan had already betrayed Xiao Yan and had someone else's seed in her belly.

Wang Jingxuan touched her belly. She was suddenly afraid that Xiao Yan would know about her affair with Hongxing.

Seeing Wang Jingxuan so frightened, Xiao Yan suddenly thought of Lin Shu again. No matter what kind of difficulties she faced, Lin Shu always looked calm in the face of danger. Even if she deliberately made things difficult for Lin Shu, she still looked neither humble nor overbearing. .

"Since you know the reason why my father-in-law came to you, I don't want to waste too much time. The money your eldest brother took from the government's account, my country's guild asked him to spit out ten times. As for you, for the sake of my father-in-law, For the sake of the child, I will spare you once. I asked the emperor for permission this morning. From now on, you will be the concubine of the Duke's mansion. After you give birth to the child, the expenses in the mansion will be halved according to the concubine's expenses."

When Wang Jingxuan heard this, she quickly knelt down and hugged Xiao Yan's calf.

"Sir, I was wrong. You can marry an equal wife. Can you please not demote me? Otherwise, I will not be able to see anyone else in the future."

"My father-in-law said, if you don't have the face to meet people, don't go out to meet them. Stay at home to look after your husband and raise your children. What did you do after marrying into the Xiao Mansion? How can you be embarrassed to meet my mother and me? Now your only talisman is the one in your belly. Child, my father-in-law has said that no matter whether you are a man or a woman, my father-in-law will not treat you badly after you give birth to a child."

Seeing that things did not turn around, Wang Jingxuan's face turned pale. She couldn't understand why she had changed from a wife to a concubine less than a year after marrying Xiao Yan.

Wang Jingxuan had been showing off in the circle of women for a long time when she was a Marquis's wife and later became the Duke's wife. Now she has become a concubine and has lost the stewardship of the Duke's palace. If word gets out, the outsiders may laugh at her.

The most important thing is that Wang Jingxuan's father, Wang Zhuang, will definitely blame her, and the palace will be embarrassed because of her, and she will become a joke among the wealthy circles in the capital.

"Master, I beg you, I will definitely stay at home honestly in the future. I don't want any housekeeping rights or anything like that. Just leave a title for me."

Xiao Yan withdrew the leg that Wang Jingxuan was holding.

"If I had known today, why would I bother you in the first place? My mother and I have given you several opportunities. If you are not worthy of your virtue, you should abdicate and make way for others."

"Abdicate the throne in favor of someone more worthy? Who should you give it to? Shu'er you were talking about in your dream?" Seeing that things were not improving, Wang Jingxuan simply broke the pot.

Xiao Yan's face darkened, he stared at Wang Jingxuan, and pinched Wang Jingxuan's face with his hands.

"It's not your turn to make irresponsible remarks about my father-in-law's affairs. If you weren't pregnant, my father-in-law would be rude. I won't be merciful next time." Wang Jingxuan just poked Xiao Yan's heart. , so Xiao Yan will be more excited.

After Xiao Yan let go of Wang Jingxuan, Wang Jingxuan stared at Xiao Yan with a sinister smile and said:

"If the emperor hadn't made a new rule, according to the old rules, you wouldn't be able to take a concubine until I gave birth to a legitimate son. Now that you've become stubborn, you can demote your wife to a concubine. Xiao Yan, you'd better not let me know that you are a concubine." When you go to sleep every night, who is Shu'er in your mouth when you talk in your sleep! Otherwise, none of us will be able to think about it."

Xiao Yan frowned.

"When did my father-in-law talk in his sleep?"

"Don't you know that you are dreaming? Every time you sleep next to me, you will always mutter "Shu'er" in your mouth in the middle of the night. Sometimes you will think of me as the "Shu'er" in your mouth. I I'm generous, I didn't care about you, but you were cruel to me." There were tears in the corners of Wang Jingxuan's eyes.

"Xiao Yan, no one wants to be called another woman's name when they are in love, and no one wants to be called another woman every time he sleeps next to his husband. It was you who married me, but you didn't give me anything. Right, I just want to use money to relieve the pain in my heart, can't you give me another chance?" Wang Jingxuan tried to get Xiao Yan to change his mind by selling him miserably, and at the same time, it showed that Xiao Yan had someone else in his heart.

"When you first married into the Xiao Mansion, I gave you the power of housekeeping. You spent money lavishly every day, attended banquets everywhere to show off, and didn't take care of the affairs of the house properly. What does it have to do with me dreaming about other women's names? "

Seeing that Xiao Yan was unable to make progress, Wang Jingxuan could only accept the reality.

"Haha..." Wang Jingxuan stood up, looking on the verge of madness, which made Xiao Yan feel murderous in his heart, but he couldn't. Wang Jingxuan was carrying his first child in his previous life.

"You are so stupid that I, my Lord, will let you be free for a few more months."

"Hmph!" Xiao Yan threw up his sleeves and left.

"You two must take good care of the child in Mrs. Side's belly and keep an eye on Mrs. Side. No one is allowed to get close to her during the pregnancy, otherwise my father-in-law will take advantage of you."

"Yes, I understand!" the two ladies kneeled on the ground respectfully and replied.

Xiao Yan arranged two more guards, and the four of them took turns guarding the entrance of Wang Jingxuan's courtyard to prevent Wang Jingxuan from harming Xiao Mansion again. What's more important is that Wang Jingxuan just said that Xiao Yan would call "Shu'er" in his dreams, and Xiao Yan did not remember his dream. I have been to Lin Shu, even if I remember it, I will never admit that kind of myself.

After Xiao Yan left, Wang Jingxuan's big, black eyes were flashing with the most ferocious expression of hatred.

"Xiao Yan, just wait for me. I have asked my eldest brother to check. Only the second daughter of the Xu family from the Ministry of Industry in the north of the city, 'Xu Jingshu', has the word 'Shu' in her name. Last time you hosted a banquet for Liu Bu, you allowed them to Isn’t it just to bring your family to see Xu Jingshu?”

Looking carefully at Wang Jingxuan's cold and flawless face, she squinted deliberately, and her eyes showed murderous intent.

"Xiao Yan, I will definitely make you regret it."

Wang Jingxuan decided to give birth to this child well. If a boy inherits the Duke's palace in the future, and if it is a girl, she will have another one with the attendant and cover Xiao Yan's head. Anyway, she has done it once, so she is not afraid of the second time.

In addition, Wang Jingxuan will find someone to take good care of Xu Jingshu.
