Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

"I would like to ask you, when did you meet Miss Lin Shu? And when did you become involved with her?"

Wang Xiaowu had this doubt for a long time. He remembered that Xiao Yan had called Lin Shu's name after he was hungover on May [-] last year.

"Lin Shu, why did you make mother angry again?"

"Lin Shu, if you dress like this, I will bring shame on you."

"Lin Shu, you are lucky to marry me. If you can't bear the wealth of the prince's house, why did you resort to all kinds of means to marry me in the first place?"

……

"Lin Shu, you really can't stand up to the public eye. In that case, why did you marry me in the first place?"

Wang Xiaowu clearly remembered what Xiao Yan said in his sleep that night, but he only thought it was Xiao Yan's imagination after drinking too much.

So Wang Xiaowu guarded Xiao Yan throughout the whole process and did not let anyone else know about Xiao Yan talking in his sleep.

What Wang Xiaowu didn't expect was that Xiao Yan would ask 'Madam' when she woke up the next day.

At that time, the person other than Wang Xiaowu was talking about was Xiao Yan’s mother, Mrs. Hou.

As a result, Xiao Yan directly said Lin Shu's name. Although Wang Xiaowu was also confused, he still patiently reminded Xiao Yan whether he was drunk and not sober.

Later, when Xiao Yan married Wang Jingxuan and knew about the rebellion of the Sixth Prince in advance, Wang Xiaowu guessed that Xiao Yan had experienced something special.

Because Xiao Yan had read the storybook, Wang Xiaowu also read it secretly after Xiao Yan read it.

Later, when Xiao Yan confronted Lin Shu for the first time, Wang Xiaowu was convinced of his suspicions. Xiao Yan was reborn just as the storybook said.

But Wang Xiaowu didn't show it. No matter what happened to Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan would always be his master.

Xiao Yan didn't answer for a long time. He didn't know how to explain to Wang Xiaowu.

"Xiao Wu, are these questions related to what is happening now?"

"Yes, only by knowing these questions can I know why you..."

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"go on."

Seeing that Xiao Yan really wanted to chat with him, Wang Xiaowu was ready to tell the truth.

"I just realized why you suddenly paid so much attention to Miss Lin Shu, and even sent rats to monitor Lin Shu, and even went through such a big circle to bring Miss Lin Shu back."

"I remember that you had nothing to do with Miss Lin Shu before. This is not only my subordinate's doubt, but also the key to solving the problem between you and Miss Lin Shu."

Xiao Yan then remembered that he was reborn, and Wang Xiaowu didn't know what happened to him and Lin Shu in their previous lives.

Xiao Yan hesitated for a while. Because he was reborn, he thought of many things by himself and did not ask Wang Xiaowu for help.

Xiao Yan was even more afraid that Wang Xiaowu would not understand what he said.

"Sir, please tell the truth, my subordinates will understand."

Xiao Yan then remembered that Wang Xiaowu had been with him since he was a child, and the two of them had teased Han Yun together when they were children.

I can't remember when it was. Because of their status, the two of them rarely talked to each other.

Even Xiao Yan has no friends around him, and Han Yun is just a fair-weather friend.

Xiao Yan only reacted after Wang Xiaowu's reminder.

yes!To outsiders, he had nothing to do with Lin Shu, so why did he suddenly pay so much attention to Lin Shu and bring her back to Xiao Mansion.

So Xiao Yan decided to tell everything he had experienced. After all, it had been suppressed in his heart, and Xiao Yan himself was almost stunned.

"Xiao Wu, I had a dream. I can no longer tell whether this dream is true or false, but everything that happened in the dream was too real."

When Wang Xiaowu heard what Xiao Yan said, he became even more convinced of his conjecture.

Because this is what the storybook says, after rebirth, I feel like what happened in my previous life was like a dream.

Wang Xiaowu put the cloak on Xiao Yan's shoulders that he had been holding for a long time. Wang Xiaowu had been holding the cloak in his hand since Xiao Yan left the study.

"Master, did you dream that you and Miss Lin Shu were getting married?" Wang Xiaowu supported Xiao Yan and asked Xiao Yan to sit on the stone bench in the yard.

Xiao Yan glanced at the round moon in the sky. It was relatively close to August [-]th, and the moon was still very round.

"I remember in my dream the day I got married to Lin Shu. Because I was angry, I sat on this stone bench for a long time that night. The moon at that time was incomplete and not as round as it is now."

"In the dream, I was unhappy with Lin Shu and watched my mother oppress her. In the dream, the laws of the court had not changed. A wife was not allowed to take concubines until she gave birth to a legitimate son. It was not like now, where a man can marry an equal wife."

Xiao Yan was reminiscing as he spoke, suddenly nostalgic for Lin Shu's good deeds in his previous life.

"Three years after we got married, Lin Shu has not been pregnant for a long time. This made my mother very dissatisfied. Her life in the house was even more difficult. I knew all this, but because of the ridicule from outsiders, I despised her from the bottom of my heart and felt that she She is not worthy of me, so I pretended not to notice when she was suffering and wronged, and even mocked her for coming from a small family and not being able to enjoy the wealth of this prince's mansion."

Wang Xiaowu knew Xiao Yan and could probably imagine what Xiao Yan did at that time.

"Then an accident happened in my dream. When I opened my eyes, I went back to three years ago. In order to avoid what happened in my dream happening again, I didn't attend the banquet at the Protector's Palace last year. I missed Lin Shu and married Wang Jingxuan, but I didn't expect Wang Jingxuan. This bitch, she dared to cuckold me and wanted to confuse my Xiao family bloodline."

Thinking of Wang Jingxuan, Xiao Yan clenched his fists so angry that his bones rattled.

"Later, I began to miss Lin Shu's goodness. I didn't want to disturb her and Su Yi's life, but she actually had the same dream as me, so I slowly started to get closer to her and get to know her."

"When I saw her and Su Yi together, I felt like there was a missing corner in my heart. This was a feeling I had never had before. When Lin Shu confronted me for the first time, I was impressed by her courage. This was different from The Lin Shu in my dream is different, which makes me want to have her again and get to know her. With her temperament, I believe she will manage Xiao Mansion well and take good care of my mother."

Xiao Yan looked at the moon, and Wang Xiaowu looked at Xiao Yan.

Obviously Xiao Yan did not drink, but Wang Xiaowu felt that Xiao Yan was drunk, which was not like the usual arrogant and complacent Xiao Yan.

"That's why I planned to let Su Yi follow the development in the dream, but he escaped. I didn't expect that the emperor would start to reuse him."

Xiao Yan's Adam's apple moved.

"I panicked because I knew that as long as Su Yi was given enough time to hone his will, apart from martial arts, his abilities wouldn't be much worse than mine."

"So I designed it to make Su Yi commit the death penalty, so that I could use Su Yi and force Lin Shu to agree to my conditions."

"Su Yi was an honest and polite official, and he treated people sincerely. He killed him for no reason. My father-in-law couldn't do it, so I let him go and asked the mouse to find a doctor to save him. As long as I take Lin Shu out of the capital, everything will be over. Everything will be fine.”

"But Lin Shu committed suicide. She committed suicide for Su Yi. I have spared Su Yi's life, and I don't care that she was married before, but she doesn't understand me at all. Xiao Wu, you have always been by my side. You can see it more clearly than others, tell me, what exactly is Lin Shu thinking?"
