Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

Chapter 84 A gathering at the Shi Mansion

"Okay, my lord knows."

Xiao Yan wrote with a pen, picked up the paper and blew on it, trying to make the ink dry quickly.

Xiao Yan then put a piece of paper into an envelope, sealed it with wax, and handed the other piece of paper to Mouse.

"This is the address. You go to the young man in white according to the address written on the paper. The second one is what the prince needs. You give this letter to him and bring back the things he gave you. My father."

Mouse glanced at the address on the paper. It was not far from the capital.

"I understand, little one." Mouse saluted Xiao Yan again and left.

Wang Xiaowu has followed Xiao Yan for many years and guessed what Xiao Yan wanted to do. Although Wang Xiaowu felt that Xiao Yan was wrong, he did not dare to show it.

First, because it has nothing to do with him, and second, as a subordinate, Wang Xiaowu must obey Xiao Yan's orders and cannot question or refute Xiao Yan's decision.

After the last accident, Xiao Yan carefully planned every step and he would not allow anything to go wrong this time.

Xiao Yan was already stunned. He only knew that he had to get Lin Shu, but he would not consider the harm it would cause to others.

On the other side, Chen Laoer went to Shi Mansion to replace Su Yi and Lin Shu after completing the delivery. After asking Shi Jingke and Mrs. Shi when they would leave, he returned to Su Mansion and brought the words to Su Yi and Lin Shu.

"Going back to my two hosts, I asked my uncle and his wife. They said that you will go to the palace to accompany the emperor during the Mid-Autumn Festival. They asked you to go to Shi Mansion for a gathering tomorrow. They will leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Okay, Brother Chen, thank you for your hard work. After breakfast tomorrow morning, I would like to ask you to send us to Shi Mansion first. After the goods are finished, you will pick us back when it is almost dark."

Su Yi immediately made arrangements for the trip to Shi Mansion.

Lin Shu also began to decorate the gifts to be taken to Shi Mansion.

She didn't know when Shi Jingke and Mrs. Shi would come back, but Lin Shu prepared some things from all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

In the afternoon, Su Yi accompanied Lin Shu to Qian Street to buy some food. Lin Shu planned to make some dry food and snacks for Shi Jingke and his wife to take with them on the road.

The next day, Su Yi and his wife arrived at Shi Mansion as promised.

Mrs. Shi also got up early in the morning and took Mrs. Sun and Mama Xia to work in the kitchen. Before leaving for a long journey, it was rare for the family to get together again. In addition, it was rare for Lin Shu to come back, so the banquet could not be perfunctory.

When Su Yi and his wife arrived at the Shi Mansion, the Shi family had already prepared a large table of delicious lunch, and there were many plates of food that Lin Shu and Su Yi liked to eat.

"Yi'er, Shu'er, you came just in time, the food has just been prepared." Mrs. Shi walked to the door with a smile on her face, holding Lin Shu's hand and said happily.

"Auntie, don't worry. My husband and I have prepared some things for you and your uncle to take with you on the way."

At this time, Su Yi and Chen Laoer were unloading the things prepared for Shi Jingke and his wife from the carriage, and Liu Huyuan from the Shi family also joined the team of moving things.

Mrs. Shi's face dropped, and she said with a reproachful look:

"Your uncle and I will be very happy that you and Yi'er can come and our family can have another small gathering. Why waste that money? Your cousins ​​have already planned it for us." Mrs. Shi was really worried about Su Yi He and Lin Shu spend money lavishly and don't care about their family.

"Auntie, you don't have to worry about money. You know how much money we have made during the past six months of our business. What's more, you and your uncle won't know when you will return when you leave, so it's better to make more preparations."

While Su Yi was helping to move things, Mrs. Shi pulled Lin Shu to the corner outside the hall.

"Silly girl, do I feel sorry for money? I feel sorry for you. It's been almost a year since you and Su Yi got married, and there's still no news in my stomach, so I'm not worried!"

When Mrs. Shi said this, Lin Shu touched her belly and sighed helplessly.

"Ugh!"

Mrs. Shi patted Lin Shu's hand to express comfort.

"Shu'er, Dr. Tian who I helped you find before is very good at conditioning women's bodies. If you have time, go and have a look. My niece's daughter-in-law became pregnant with twins in less than half a year under Dr. Tian's care. You and Su Yi are both still young. If you have a child as soon as possible, you will have someone to rely on when you get old."

Lin Shu raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Shi and said:

"Aunt, I tried it. As soon as I got married, I went to get some medicine with Lin's mother. I also drank it from time to time. My menstruation is still abnormal. I have to prepare for entering the palace in the past few days. I will let Lin know when she comes back from the palace banquet. Mom will accompany me to have a look."

At this time, Su Yi and others had finished moving things. Mrs. Shi glanced at Lin Shu and said:

"As long as you know it in your heart, Su Yi is a man after all. Even though he doesn't care about it, it doesn't mean he doesn't want children. Remember to be more careful."

After saying that, Mrs. Shi walked towards the door with her skirt in hand and ordered Liu Huyuan to move the things brought by Su Yi and his wife to the warehouse and put them together with other things to be taken away.

Although Mrs. Shi, an adult with experience in giving birth, did not notice the irregularity of menstruation mentioned by Lin Shu, if she had asked a few more questions, everyone might have known about Lin Shu's pregnancy in advance.

Of course, it was also because Lin Shu had grown up next to Mrs. Shi, so Mrs. Shi knew that Lin Shu had been having irregular menstrual periods since the beginning, and had also helped Lin Shu to regulate her body. In addition, Lin Shu was thin and was not pregnant until three months. Xian is pregnant, just like Lin Shu, he has never thought about Lin Shu's pregnancy.

After eating, Su Yi and Shi Jingke went to the study. Although Shi Muze didn't have to go to the morning court, he had to work at the Ministry of Household Affairs, so Shi Muze went out after eating.

Shi Ying and Prince Xian were not in the capital, so Mrs. Shi, Mrs. Sun and Lin Shu went to the pavilion to chat.

Mrs. Shi took Lin Shu's hand and put ten copper coins in Lin Shu's hand.

"Auntie, what do you mean?" Lin Shu asked doubtfully.

"Your uncle is getting more and more confused as he gets older. Last time I was found hiding private money and hid in your house for two days because I liked eating candy when I was young, and it was because of candy that I met your uncle."

Mrs. Shi said as she recalled:

"So he came back and bought me two candy figures and some snacks. I was coaxed by him at the time and didn't realize that he didn't have any money on him. Tell me, if you don't have any money on you, where can you get the money to buy things?"

"So I questioned your uncle, and he said he borrowed it from Yi'er, and I was in charge of the money, so he never paid it back."

When Lin Shu and Sun heard what Mrs. Shi said, they covered their mouths and laughed.

"I didn't expect that my father-in-law has such a cute side."

"He is just an old fool. The older he gets, the younger he becomes. Ying'er finally got married and no one bothered me. But he always makes me angry. This is worse than Ying'er."

When talking about Shi Ying, the light in Mrs. Shi's eyes dimmed again.

Normally, Shi Ying would always be by her side no matter how much she was fighting or scolding. But after Shi Ying got married, no one was around to chat with her, and Mrs. Shi felt a little lonely.

"There's no need to be angry, aunt. Maybe uncle wanted to buy a gift for aunt as a surprise, so he secretly hid his private money." Lin Shu comforted her and put the ten coins back into Mrs. Shi's hand.
