Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

"It was in the yard. It was late yesterday and I didn't see it. I came back early today and I caught a glimpse of it suddenly." Lin Shu lied casually.

Then he hung the purse next to Su Yi.

"Husband, inside is the peace charm that I finally asked for. This time I must keep it close to my body and don't lose it again."

Lin Shu felt very melancholy. She believed that what Xiao Yan said was true. Su Yi was so arrogant, and she didn't know how to let Su Yi resolve the subsequent disaster.

After dinner, the two rested as usual, but because Lin Shu was worried, she always dreamed of Su Yi being locked in a cell, covered in blood.

On a July night, the moonlight is sparse, and the moonlight reflects a lonely figure. The moonlight at night is always so cold, but it is not bone-breaking cold, but a cold that goes deep into the soul and makes people sober.

That night, Xiao Yan couldn't sleep in the Duke's Mansion, wandering alone in the courtyard.

Originally, he tested Lin Shu's attitude during the day and disturbed Lin Shu's mind. Xiao Yan did not expect that his own mind was disturbed.

Xiao Yan looked at the moon and remembered the way Lin Shu talked to him during the day. She was not as submissive as she was in her previous life.

Lin Shu seemed to be radiating light all over her body, which gave Xiao Yan a different feeling, and made Xiao Yan want to get Lin Shu urgently.

Xiao Yan recalled what Lin Shu said during the day and began to talk to himself.

"The coarse cloth is short and brown, observing the various aspects of life, eating simple meals, and savoring the various flavors of life. Peace and security are blessings. Does she just want peace? If she just wants to be safe, in my Xiao Mansion, not only can she be safe, but she can also be safe. A lifetime of wealth, Lin Shu, let’s take our time.”

Xiao Yan looked at the moonlight and calculated the time when Prince Lin, the biological brother of the Sixth Prince and his mother, committed a crime. In his previous life, Prince Lin was reported by officials below as being corrupt and had secretly embezzled 100 million taels of silver that had been used for disaster relief.

Emperor Lan was furious when he found out about King Lin. He wanted to kill Prince Lin before the matter was fully investigated. However, Su Yi felt that it was just a rumor passed down by someone below. Before careful investigation and without any evidence, Emperor Lan easily killed Lin. It was probably inappropriate for the king to kill him, so he asked Emperor Lan to conduct a thorough investigation, but Emperor Lan thought he was an accomplice of King Lin and imprisoned him together, saying that he would be beheaded together with King Lin.

Later, after the morning court was over and Emperor Lan's anger subsided, Xiao Yan discussed the matter with Emperor Lan alone in the imperial study. Emperor Lan also knew that what he did was wrong, but he was the emperor, and Su Yi was in front of so many people. retorted.

Su Yi didn't take the emperor's face into consideration, so he stayed in Dali Temple until Xiao Yan investigated the matter of Prince Lin and the truth came to light. After Emperor Lan's anger subsided, Xiao Yan spoke to Emperor Lan because he cherished his talent. , Su Yi was released, but he was demoted a few levels and became a civilian official in Dali Temple, responsible for recording prisoners' records and organizing files.

In this life, Xiao Yan hid behind and gave Su Yi more real power. He believed that Su Yi's straightforward temper would only make Emperor Lan even more angry. Emperor Lan would definitely let him go back to take charge of the overall situation. As for Su Yi, His life was completely in Xiao Yan's hands, and it was easy to force Lin Shu to submit.

Xiao Yan's calculations about Prince Lin were revealed in the past few days. After carefully calculating every step, Xiao Yan went to his mother's room to take a look before going back to his room to rest alone.

Early the next morning, Lin Shu was not in a suitable condition to go to the store to help, so she decided to stay at home and rest. However, she was still anxious and frightened when she thought of what Xiao Yan said.

Lin Shu carefully helped Su Yi tidy up his court clothes, and then hung the purse containing the peace charm on Su Yi's waist.

"Husband, I have a rest these days. When I have time, I will go shopping in a jade shop. I will buy you a jade safety buckle, tie it with a safety knot, and then take it to the Huguo Temple for consecration. You will carry it with you every day from now on."

Su Yi held Lin Shu's face with both hands, looked at Lin Shu seriously and said:

"Shu'er, have a good rest. You don't have to do this. The last time you went to ask for a peace charm, you lay down for several days when you came back. Don't worry about your husband. You are his backbone. If you fall ill again, then what will happen to your husband?" There is no time to do other things. As long as you are safe, whatever you do for your husband will be smooth sailing."

After Su Yi finished speaking, he hugged Lin Shu again. I heard before that Lin Shu went to the temple with three steps, one bow, nine steps, and one kowtow. In the end, he came back with a piece of torn yellow paper. Lin Shu's legs were bruised and there were bruises on her forehead. Qing, Su Yi feels so distressed.

If it weren't for the Peace Talisman that Lin Shu brought back after suffering such a heavy punishment, Su Yi wouldn't care to bring it with him. In Su Yi's opinion, a piece of torn yellow paper is not as important as Lin Shu's body.

Lin Shu buried her head in Su Yi's arms and said:

"A sincere heart leads to success. I just hope that the Bodhisattva will bless my husband to have a smooth life in the court and not to encounter anything bad."

"Shu'er, I'm warning you! I don't care what you want to do, but when you go to the temple, don't ruin your body like last time."

"Okay, then my husband must also promise me that he will think twice before doing anything, listen to the emperor's arrangements in everything he does, and do not refute the emperor easily, so as not to anger Long Yan."

Lin Shu did not remember the specific reason for Su Yi's disaster in the previous life. She only knew that Su Yi refuted Lan Di's decision and angered Lan Di. In this case, as long as Su Yi spoke less, Lan Di would not be angered.

"Shu'er, I promise you, are you afraid because of yesterday's nightmare? Don't worry, it was just a dream."

"Sir, I said yesterday that last year my parents asked me to collect grain in a dream. Have you forgotten? Maybe it was our parents who hinted at us and wanted to keep us safe."

Lin Shu could only describe this incident as a foreshadowing in a dream as much as possible.

Su Yi heard Lin Shu say this again, and also listened to what Lin Shu said, and promised Lin Shu that he would be careful.

The two were hugging each other and couldn't bear to let go.

At this time, Chen Laoer appeared at the door of the courtyard, knocked on the door and said:

"Master, the carriage is ready. It's time for us to leave. If we don't leave, it will be too late."

"Okay, I'll be out right now."

After Su Yi finished speaking, he placed a kiss on Lin Shu's forehead, held Lin Shu's face and said:

"Stay at home well. I will solve the things at hand as soon as possible. When I come back, I will come back today to make you the noodles you like to eat."

Su Yi would give Lin Shu a kiss when he left in the morning. For more than a month, he had developed a habit. Sometimes when there was no one during the day, when Su Yi wanted to leave Lin Shu, he would kiss Lin Shu on the forehead, or say something to Lin Shu. Shu asked for a kiss.

"Okay, come back early and I'll make peace with you in advance."

Lin Shu especially likes pasta, such as wontons, dumplings, batter, noodles and so on.

Because Lin Shu likes to eat, Su Yi even learned how to make pasta from Lin's mother after they got married, and would make it for Lin Shu to eat whenever she had time.
