Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

Duke Xiao's Mansion.

Xiao Yan looked at the rainbow in the sky and felt very comfortable, as if God knew that good things were coming for him and was celebrating for him.

Xiao Yan has already made a plan. If nothing unexpected happens, today Emperor Lan will send someone to ask him to go back and investigate the corruption of Prince Lin.

Xiao Yan asked Wang Xiaowu to put a few sticks of incense on the incense burner in the study. According to the usual time of going to the morning court, people sent by Emperor Lan would arrive at Xiao Guogong's mansion after about three sticks of incense.

Wang Xiaowu put in the incense and started sharpening the ink, while Xiao Yan himself passed the waiting time by practicing calligraphy.

The incense burned its life bit by bit. As Wang Xiaowu inserted the third stick of incense, Xiao Yan felt more and more happy, and he couldn't help humming a light tune.

After being reborn once, he was very satisfied with the chess game he had laid out, and he had never failed.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps in the yard.

"My subordinates have met the Duke. Several people came to the door. They said they were conveying the emperor's oral instructions and asked you to go back to Dali Temple to investigate the case." It turned out that the guard guarding the door came in and asked Xiao Yan for instructions.

"Let them in." Xiao Yan slowly dipped his brush in ink and wrote on the fine rice paper the words "Qing Jin's ambition will lead to great success".

After a while, Su Yi took Master Xue and Master Zhou to Xiao Yan's study.

"I have met Mr. Xiao Guogong."

At this time, Xiao Yan put down the pen in his hand and slowly raised his head. Thinking that he would be able to negotiate terms with Lin Shu soon, he said with a happy smile from the bottom of his heart:

"Don't be too polite."

Until the moment Xiao Yan raised his head and saw the leader Su Yi, the smile on Xiao Yan's face froze instantly.

"Why is he here? Shouldn't he have been imprisoned by this time?" Xiao Yan wondered why it was different from what he expected.

Although Xiao Yan was disturbed by the sudden change, he continued to maintain a smile and said:

"I wonder why the emperor asked you to come here?"

After Su Yi stated his intention at the beginning, Xiao Yan nodded. Except for Su Yi, everything else was within his expectations.

It's just that Xiao Yan has no time to investigate what happened in the early morning, so Su Yi in this life did not follow the trajectory of the previous life.

Because stretching your hand too long will cause displeasure to Emperor Lan. Xiao Yan only has the trust of Emperor Lan because he is a minister.

"Please wait a moment while my lord goes to change his clothes."

Xiao Yan's clothes are all prepared and placed in the yard next to the study. This makes it easy to change and saves time.

When Su Yi, Mr. Xue and Mr. Zhou were waiting in the study, the sharp-eyed Mr. Zhou saw the words written by Xiao Yan.

"Qing Jin's ambition will go far if he practices it." Mr. Zhou couldn't help but read it out.

Lord Xue clapped his hands and applauded.

"No wonder Xiao Guogong took the position of Duke at such a young age."

Su Yi looked at Xiao Yan's writing and showed admiration like Master Zhou and Master Xue.

"The ambitions of young people will go far if they are practiced." These eight words mean that the ambitions you have when you are young can only be realized through your own efforts and practice, and you must lay a solid foundation down-to-earth, so that you can go further.

Su Yi also realized a lot of truth from it. He looked at Master Xue and Master Zhou and said:

"Be down-to-earth and take one step at a time. No wonder the emperor asked me to learn more from Duke Xiao. It seems that the three of us must learn more from Duke Xiao. Only when we have great ambitions in our hearts can we do practical things."

Master Zhou and Master Xue nodded in agreement. After speaking, the three of them stood in their own positions as Xiao Yan left, waiting for Xiao Yan to change clothes before leaving together.

Moreover, the three of them cannot move around freely without the host's consent. That would be rude to the host.

Soon Xiao Yan put on his court uniform and came over.

"My lords, the Duke of Guo is already dressed, please." Xiao Yan changed his clothes and went directly to the gate. Wang Xiaowu received Xiao Yan's order to invite Su Yi and the others to go directly.

When they arrived at the gate of Duke Xiao's Mansion, Xiao Yan was already sitting in his own luxurious carriage. Su Yi and the other three were riding in the public carriage used by Dali Temple when they came.

In this way, some people quickly arrived at the imperial study. After obtaining Emperor Lan's consent, Xiao Yan left the capital with some new military ministers and Su Yi to investigate Prince Lin's affairs.

Due to the sudden incident, Su Yi hurriedly went home to pack his luggage and said goodbye to Lin Shu briefly.

When Lin Shu knew that Su Yi and Xiao Yan were leaving Beijing together, her heart almost jumped into her throat.

"Husband, can you please take leave?" Lin Shu asked worriedly.

Su Yi hugged Lin Shu, let Lin Shu lean tightly on his shoulder, patted Lin Shu's back and said comfortingly:

"Shu'er, don't worry. This time we are following the emperor's instructions. Moreover, the emperor asked Mr. Zhou, Mr. Xue and I to study with Mr. Xiao Guogong. This time he gave us a chance to train. It shows that the emperor wants to train us and we must not let him down." Holy Will.”

Then Su Yi put his hands on Lin Shu's shoulders, looked into Lin Shu's eyes and said:

"Now that shopkeeper Qin is in the store, and my aunt and cousin are taking care of it, you can rest at home more. Besides, don't you still want to open a clothing store? You can take advantage of this rest time to think about it."

Su Yi fully supports Lin Shu in doing what she wants to do. Only in this way, Lin Shu will not find life difficult at home.

Lin Shu helped Su Yi pack her things. This was the first time the two separated after getting married. Lin Shu didn't know when Su Yi would come back, so she asked Su Yi to bring all her usual clothes.

"Madam, my husband is going out to do something this time. It's enough to bring two or three sets of changes of clothes. In addition, bring a little money to facilitate things."

So Lin Shu chose and chose again, and finally let Su Yi take the three sets of clothes and the thin quilt that she had made for Su Yi. Leng Suyi could put the quilt on his body in the carriage on the way.

Lin Shu even gave Su Yi the money she earned from her business.

"Husband, here is 500 taels. If it is not enough, just write back and I will find a way to send you money."

Su Yi smiled happily:

"As long as Shu'er is at home safely, my husband will rest assured. I will bring 50 taels with me. I will use official money for accommodation and transportation along the way, so it won't cost anything."

Su Yi took 50 taels because he wanted to buy some gifts for Lin Shu when he had time.

Xiao Yan saw that everyone else was here, but Su Yi was still late. He happened to be heading towards Su Yi's house when he left the city, so some people arrived at Su Yi's house.

Boom boom boom!

Wang Xiaowu knocked on the door.

"Master Su, have you packed up?"

Chen Laoer opened the door and went to the backyard to remind Su Yi. Lin Shu reluctantly sent Su Yi out.

Xiao Yan rode on the horse and watched Lin Shu and Su Yi say goodbye coldly.

After Su Yi got on the carriage and the group set off, Xiao Yan turned around and gave Lin Shu a meaningful look.

Lin Shu looked into Xiao Yan's eyes, and her whole body suddenly became alert.

Xiao Yan raised the corner of his mouth and showed a wicked smile:

"My Lord, there is no rush at this time. We have a long way to go."
