Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

After Lin Shu finished speaking, she went back to her room to rest, thinking that after Su Yi woke up, she could discuss with Su Yi the matter of Xiao Yan's gift.

There are two days of rest in a month, and the next day is rest, so Lin Shu planned to ask Su Yi to send it back the next day.

Lin Shu sat in front of the bronze mirror, preparing to take off the hairpin on her head.

Suddenly a figure appeared and took off the hairpin ring before Lin Shu.

"Husband, aren't you drunk?" Lin Shu asked curiously.

"I still have the strength to dress up my wife." Su Yi said while helping Lin Shu remove her hair and makeup.

After taking off the complicated hair accessories on his head, Su Yi put his hands on Lin Shu's shoulders, and the two of them stared at the bronze mirror together.

"Whose little daughter-in-law is this in the mirror? Why is she so beautiful?"

"Pfft." Lin Shu covered her mouth and snickered.

"My husband is always making fun of me."

Su Yi hugged Lin Shu from behind and rested his head on Lin Shu's right shoulder.

"Shu'er, thank you for your hard work today. I originally thought that I would help you clean up after the others got drunk and left. I didn't expect that Duke Xiao was so good at drinking. I almost got completely drunk." No matter what the situation, Su Yi They will all think about Lin Shu.

"It's almost done. I'm a little tired too. Xi'er will come back later to finish things off with Mother Lin. By the way..."

Lin Shu glanced over her head and looked at Su Yi nervously.

"What's going on?" Su Yi asked worriedly.

"Tomorrow you go to the Xiao Mansion. What Mr. Xiao Guogong gave today is a set of ruby ​​​​turbans. It is too valuable. We must return it to others. What's more, the turbans are only given to younger generations by elders, or given by female relatives when they come and go. Furthermore, it is the husband. If you give it to your wife and return it, maybe the Xiao Mansion got it wrong when preparing the gift."

After Su Yi listened, he thought carefully for a moment.

"It's indeed time to pay it back. Madam, don't worry. I'll have a rest tomorrow. After dinner, I'll ask Brother Chen to take me to Duke Xiao's mansion."

"Remember to explain clearly to others." Lin Shu warned.

"Okay!" Su Yi agreed.

On June 250th of the year 29 of Longyuan Kingdom, Lin Shu and Su Yi hosted a banquet for their colleagues. Xu Jingshu of the Xu family of the Ministry of Industry in the north of the city received a good reputation. For some reason, this matter spread a lot the next day.

In the Xiao Mansion, Wang Jingxuan was looking fiercely at the envelope sent by her brother through the guards of her lover Hu Yanghu.

It says:

"Xu Jingshu of the Xu family of the Ministry of Industry in the north of the city deserves a good reputation."

Wang Jingxuan squeezed the envelope tightly with a sly smile on her face.

"Well, Xiao Yan, you just demoted your wife as a concubine. You took back the ruby ​​​​head and face that was passed down to the Xiao family's daughter-in-law from my hand, and you couldn't wait to give it to Xu Jingshu so quickly. Just wait, I won't make it easy for you."

Wang Jingxuan stared at the envelope, and an evil thought suddenly occurred to her. She picked up a pen and wrote something on the paper, and soon handed it to her lover Hu Yang.

"After you changed the job, you immediately handed it over to my brother. This month, Xiao Yan has been pressing harder and harder on my brother. It is clear that my brother only received 15 taels in the account, but he made a fake IOU and insisted that my brother was in the Xiao Mansion. What I took away was 50 taels. Tell my brother that the time has come to take revenge on Xiao Yan. As long as he does what I said in my letter, he can not only take revenge on Xiao Yan, but also~"

When she said the last sentence, Wang Jingxuan waved and asked Populus euphratica to stick to her ear.

"do you understand?"

"Madam, I understand, but if the Marquis knows about it, will we be in danger?" Hu Yang asked worriedly. After all, 'Xu Jingshu' is the woman Xiao Yan likes, the future wife of the Duke of the country.

Wang Jingxuan patted Populus euphratica hard on the head.

"What are you afraid of! You dare to cuckold Xiao Yan, are you afraid of letting others cuckold Xiao Yan? Go and do it quickly. As long as that woman can't come in, if I give birth to a son, our child will be able to inherit the throne of the country openly. Everything in the house.”

Hu Yang touched Wang Jingxuan’s belly and said:

"For the sake of our son's future, I am willing to go up mountains of swords and into seas of fire."

So Hu Yang took the letter written by Wang Jingxuan and went to Wang's house in the east of the city after the change of guard. He found Wang Jingxuan's eldest brother and told him all about Wang Jingxuan's plan.

After Wang Jingxuan's eldest brother learned about Wang Jingxuan's arrangement, he clapped his hands on the table and looked up to the sky laughing:

"Xiao Yan, when you cheated me out of money, you didn't think that the woman you liked would pay off your debt!"

So Wang Jingxuan's eldest brother began to prepare to harm people.

On the other side, after Su Yi had breakfast, he asked Chen Laoer to prepare the carriage and take the blue gift box Xiao Yan sent yesterday to Duke Xiao's Mansion to return the ruby ​​head and face.

Duke Xiao's Mansion is much more impressive than Su's Mansion. There are two large stone lions in front of the door, and there are two guards guarding the door.

"Hello, brother guard! My master is Mr. Su Yisu, who is working with Duke Xiao. Please tell me, brother, that we have something to do with Duke Xiao." Chen Laoer stopped the carriage next to the stone lion at the entrance of Xiao Mansion. , asked one of the guards.

After the guard understood the situation, he asked the other guard to continue guarding and went in to report.

When the guard was about to reach the study room in the inner courtyard, he happened to meet Wang Xiaowu who was going to the kitchen to bring food to Xiao Yan.

"Brother Wang." Wang Xiaowu has been following Xiao Yan, and everyone else in the Xiao Mansion calls Wang Xiaowu Brother Wang.

"Aren't you on duty at the gate today? Why did you get in here?" Wang Xiaowu asked curiously.

"There is Mr. Su at the door. He said he is here to see our Duke and asked me to pass the news."

When Wang Xiaowu heard this, he guessed it was Su Yi, but he was very surprised. Xiao Yan just went to the Su Mansion to meet Su Yi once yesterday, so why did Su Yi come to the Duke's Mansion to see Xiao Yan again today.

"You go back and guard first, and I'll go tell the Duke."

After a while, Wang Xiaowu arrived at the study carrying food.

"Sir, the guard at the door just came to send a message, saying that Mr. Su is here to see you. Do you want to let him in?"

Xiao Yan paused while writing, looked up at Wang Xiaowu and said.

"Su Yi is here so soon? Is Su Yi the only one? Is Lin Shu here?"

"My lord, the guard at the door only said that Mr. Su is here. I don't know if Miss Lin Shu is here. Sir, did you know in advance that Mr. Su would come?"

Xiao Yan looked at the blue gift box placed in the corner of the study room that was exactly the same as the one he gave to Lin Shu yesterday.

"Of course, my father-in-law sent the wrong thing, they will definitely come to ask, go and ask Su Yi to come in!"

So under the leadership of Wang Xiaowu, Su Yi came to Xiao Yan carrying a blue gift box.

"I have met the Duke." Su Yi half-bent down and saluted Xiao Yan.

"No courtesy." Xiao Yan stood beside the chopping board in the study, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of support.

"Thank you, Mr. Guo." Su Yi stood up straight after saluting.

"Master Su came just in time. My father-in-law is planning to send someone to the Su Mansion. I accidentally brought the wrong gift yesterday when I gave him a gift. In your blue gift box is a set of ruby ​​​​heads and masks. It was originally passed down to the 'daughter-in-law' from our family. , but my father-in-law took the wrong one in a hurry when he went out."
