Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

"There is no love between you and me. Why did you use such means to rob me? What's more, everyone knows that I am the wife of my husband Su Yi. As the Duke of the country, aren't you afraid of other people's comments if you steal other people's wives? ?”

Lin Shu didn't understand why Xiao Yan suddenly wanted to get her, and felt very guilty that she had gotten Su Yi involved in this for no reason.

Xiao Yan said with a proud look:

"My father-in-law has arranged these things, so there is no need for you to worry. You have only two options now. First, agree to my father-in-law's request, and my father-in-law will protect Su Yi's life. Second, refuse my father-in-law's request, and my father-in-law will take you with him." Go to the palace to collect Su Yi’s body.”

"Of course, if you choose the second path, my father-in-law guarantees that he will never bother you in this life."

After hearing this, Lin Shu burst into tears and clutched her collar, unable to make a choice.

"My father-in-law will give you an hour. After one hour, if you still haven't made a decision, my father-in-law will treat you as if you have chosen the second path and take you to collect Su Yi's body."

Seeing that Lin Shu didn't answer, Xiao Yan spoke again, and specifically emphasized that he was going to "collect the body" of Su Yi.

Lin Shu quickly said:

"No, I can't watch my husband die."

"Then you choose the first option and become the wife of your father."

"No, I am my husband's."

"Humph!"

Seeing that Lin Shu was still obsessed with Su Yi, Xiao Yan snorted coldly and walked towards the door.

When leaving, he didn't forget to put pressure on Lin Shu.

"My father-in-law, please leave for a while. Think about it calmly. If there is nothing beneficial to your father-in-law, my father-in-law will not save Su Yi for no reason."

When he arrived at the door, Xiao Yan said to the guard:

"Go in and watch her closely, and don't let her leave the room."

After Xiao Yan left, Lin Shu slumped on the ground helplessly, muttering:

"Why is this happening? Why is this happening suddenly?"

"Why did he frame my husband because of me? Even if he was reborn, why didn't he let me go once?"

"Why on earth is this?" Lin Shu yelled this at the top of her lungs.

The guards at the door and Xiao Yan who had just left the yard heard it. Xiao Yan just paused and left after seeing that Lin Shu made no other move.

Xiao Yan then asked Wang Xiaowu to instruct the kitchen to bring the prepared wontons to Lin Shu.

Chun Qu was carrying face wash alone, and Qiu Lai was carrying wontons and walked to the room where Lin Shu was.

Chunlai put the washbasin on the shelf, then walked to Lin Shu and tried to help Lin Shu up.

"Madam, the Duke of Guo has asked his servant to wash your face and prepare wontons for you. It will be dawn in an hour. The Duke of Guo has asked Madam to give you an answer before dawn after you have finished eating."

Although they didn't know what happened to Lin Shu and Chun Qu was just a maid, Xiao Yan didn't say anything to them. They could only follow orders and couldn't inquire too much.

Lin Shu sat down in front of the dressing mirror with Chun Qu Qi Lai's support.

Chun Qu wrung out the washcloth, and when Lin Shu didn't respond, he gently wiped Lin Shu's tears.

When Chun Lai saw Lin Shu, her tears kept flowing down, and she felt a little distressed when she saw Lin Shu crying silently and bursting into tears.

"The Duke said that if Madam thinks about it clearly, she can tell her slaves. The slaves are sending you a message. Madam, although I don't know what you have been through, you are like iron rice or steel. Please rest for a while and eat something."

Lin Shu closed her eyes and bit her lips. Su Yi was in trouble. In this situation, it was difficult for her to control herself from being sad, and she shed more and more tears.

Lin Shu even thought about it, maybe it was her fault, if she had not married Su Yi, Su Yi would not have experienced this disaster.

Because she was worried about Su Yi's safety, Lin Shu didn't have time to think about why Xiao Yan wanted to get her.

Xiao Yan knew how to hide his inner thoughts very well. The last unhappy breakup did not make Lin Shu aware of Xiao Yan's desire. She was just worried that if Su Yi behaved the way he did in his previous life, Xiao Yan might not plead with Emperor Lan.

But he didn't expect that such a thing would happen to Su Yi in just over a month.

Qiu Lai placed the wontons in front of Lin Shu. When Lin Shu saw the wontons, she thought of the scene where Su Yi personally made pimple soup, batter and dumplings for her.

Then Lin Shu cried again.

"Madam, please stop crying. Are the slaves not serving you well? If the slaves are not serving you well, you can punish them, but don't break your body from crying."

The kind-hearted Chun Qu Qiu Lai knelt on the ground, worried that Xiao Yan would be punished by the housekeeper if he found out.

Lin Shu knew it was useless to cry now. She tried her best to control her emotions, her body shaking and sobbing.

Slowly, Lin Shu regained some sense, picked up the handkerchief in the basin and wiped her hands.

Chun Qu stood up and stretched out his hand.

"Madam, my servant will serve you!"

Lin Shu blocked it with her hand and said nothing.

"It has nothing to do with you, get up!"

So Qiu Lai slowly stood up.

Lin Shu wiped her face clean with a handkerchief, straightened her headdress, and carefully touched the butterfly hairpin Su Yi gave her, the one with a knife hidden inside.

Lin Shu took off the butterfly hairpin, held it in both hands and thought carefully for a long time.

Lin Shu held the hairpin tightly, as if she had made up her mind, inserted the hairpin in again, and then slowly said:

"Go and invite your prince here and tell him that I have figured it out."

Spring has passed and autumn has come, I am happy. Although I don’t know what happened between Lin Shu and Xiao Yan, I thought that Lin Shu finally figured it out and responded quickly:

"Yes."

"Qiu Lai, please go and invite the Duke over." Chun Qu greeted Qiu Lai and asked Qiu Lai to invite Xiao Yan.

She herself was standing behind Lin Shu, wanting to dress up for Lin Shu again.

In Chun Qu's eyes, Lin Shu was the person Xiao Yan liked. Seeing Lin Shu crying like that just now, he thought that Lin Shu was unwilling, so Xiao Yan imprisoned Lin Shu here.

Lin Shu just said that she had figured it out. She was not only happy for her master, but also happy for herself, because then she could serve Lin Shu all the time. As a first-class maid, her monthly salary would also increase a lot. times.

But Chun Qu was only half right.

When Chun Qu put his hand on Lin Shu's head, Lin Shu guarded the hairpin vigilantly.

Lin Shu looked at Chun Qu and asked cautiously:

"What do you want to do?"

When Chun went to see Lin Shu, her face suddenly changed. She thought of Wang Jingxuan before and immediately knelt on the ground.

"Madam, the Duke is coming, and I would like to take care of your hairpin ring again, so that you can leave a good impression on the Duke."

After listening to what Chun Guo said, Lin Shu felt less nervous.

Lin Shu washed herself just now in the hope that she would feel more confident when talking to Xiao Yan.

But Lin Shu was unwilling to dress up to leave a good impression on Xiao Yan.

Thinking of Xiao Yan's actions in the last life and this one, Lin Shu's eyes widened angrily and she gritted her teeth and said:

"No need, he doesn't deserve it."
