After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife married the living devil

Ma Xigui, who was standing next to the carriage, bowed and greeted him.

"Hello, Miss Lin. My brother said that there are so many people here at this time and it would be bad for Miss Lin to be seen by others, so he asked me to borrow a carriage from Boss Qian."

Lin Yanyu was eager to go home, so he didn't say much.

"Thank you."

When he arrived at the door, he bowed slightly to Ma Xigui to express his gratitude, then stepped on a stool and got into the carriage.

Just as she sat down, the curtain was lifted and Li Yanqi, dressed in black, sat down next to her. Then the carriage started to move.

She looked at Li Yanqi in confusion, "Why did you come up here? Don't you have anything else to do in your office?"

"If I don't come, do you know how to explain your disappearance to your parents? Forget it, I'm leaving."

Li Yanqi pretended to lift the curtain.

"Wait a minute! What should I say?" Lin Yanyu hurriedly grabbed him.

Li Yanqi deliberately turned his face away from her, rolling his eyes to the sky, "I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do at the government office. You should go home and explain to your parents."

He glanced at Lin Yanyu and continued to mutter:

"I want to see how you tell your parents about the series of awful things that happened when you were abducted to Chunfeng Garden. I want to see how they will be terrified because they are afraid that others will know about it."

The more Lin Yanyu spoke, the more panicked she became. "I was wrong. I really, really want you to go home with me. Tell me quickly, what should I say?"

After hearing her say this, Li Yanqi turned back with satisfaction and said, "When you get home, tell your parents that there were too many people on the street and you fell down and passed out. You woke up in the clinic this morning and the doctor said you were not fit to move so you returned home now."

He stared into Lin Yanyu's eyes and said seriously, "As a newly promoted county lieutenant, I can testify for you. I found you in the clinic this morning. Do you understand?"

"Is this... really possible?"

"The clinic owes me a favor. I've already told them, don't worry."

The two were talking intermittently as the carriage arrived at the door of the Lin family.

"Miss Lin, we're here."

Li Yanqi jumped off the carriage first, and Lin Yanyu followed suit with his help.

At this moment, the door of the Lin family suddenly opened, and a person Lin Yanyu did not expect walked out.

Lin Yanyu's good sister Lin Yanxia rushed over to her when she saw her, crying loudly, "Sister, you are finally back. You don't know how worried we were when you were missing for a day and a night."

She pulled Lin Yanyu inside while crying, and when they reached the main hall, she sobbed even louder, "Sister, you are so beautiful. If you were kidnapped by bad guys, how would my parents and I live?"

After that, he shouted into the room, "Brother He, Uncle He, Aunt He, Dad and Mom, my sister is back."

Then he turned to Lin Yanyu and explained, "Brother He came to propose marriage today, and happened to meet a yamen runner who was delivering letters. He learned that my sister was missing, and insisted on waiting for my sister to return home to discuss the marriage."

Lin Yanyu slowly broke away her sister's hand that was resting on her arm, leaned close to her ear and sneered, "I say, it would be a waste of your talent if you don't become an actor."

Lin Yanxia's expression froze for a moment, her eyes wandering, she stammered, "I don't know what you mean, sister."

Lin Yanyu didn't even look at her, just flicked her sleeves and turned to walk into the main hall.

Sitting on two wooden chairs at the top of the hall were Lin's father and He's father. Sitting below them were Lin's mother and He Zhiyuan's mother and son, all looking at me with unhappy expressions.

It’s just that the three members of the He family were looking at Lin Yanyu, while Lin’s father and mother were looking at Lin Yanxia.

Lin Yanyu bowed her head slightly towards Mr. and Mrs. He, bent her knees slightly, and bowed gracefully: "My uncle and aunt, I wish you the best."

Then, she folded her hands towards Lin's father and mother, knelt on the ground, and leaned over to say, "I am sorry that my daughter is unfilial and has made you worried."

Mother Lin didn't care about anything else at this time. She was grateful to her ancestors for her daughter's return. She hurried forward to help her daughter up, wiping her tears while muttering: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

At this time, He Zhiyuan, who had been following Lin Yanyu, suddenly stood up and said, "Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, since Yanyu is back, can we discuss the marriage proposal?"

"Wait a minute, Zhiyuan." Mother He pulled her son to sit down with a bad look on her face, and said in a deep voice: "Yanyu, don't blame your aunt for being suspicious. I just want to ask you, is it true that Yanxia said you were missing for a day and a night?"

Mother Lin immediately clenched Lin Yanyu's arm and shook her head slightly at her.

Lin Yanyu gave her mother a comforting smile, turned around and looked at He's mother, and said seriously: "It's true."

"Then what else is there to discuss? Although our He family is not a wealthy family, we have a long tradition of poetry and literature, and Zhiyuan is well-versed in the books of sages. In this case, let's call off the marriage between the He and Lin families. Old man, Zhiyuan, let's go."

After hearing her say this, He's mother took He's father and son and was about to leave.

"Mother!"

He Zhiyuan stopped He's mother, "You haven't even heard Yanyu's explanation of the cause of this matter, but you have already made such a conclusion? Isn't it too arbitrary?"

He knew that his mother now preferred Miss Yin and felt that Lin Yanyu was just the daughter of a poor scholar and could not provide him with financial or academic help.

But he and Yanyu have known each other since childhood, and Lin's father is his enlightenment mentor. The two have a childhood sweetheart friendship. He has liked Yanyu since he was young and ignorant, and both families are happy to see it happen and tacitly approve it.

Why did his mother go back on her words when he was the first in the case? Why couldn't she trust him? He could make a name for himself without any help or women?

Seeing her son's anxious look, He's mother snorted helplessly and sat down again.

"Then Yanyu, please tell me, where did you go for the whole day and night?"

Lin Yanyu really wanted to take this opportunity to cancel her verbal engagement with He Zhiyuan, but looking at her father's angry and flushed face and her mother's frightened and pale face, she hesitated again and again, opened and closed her lips several times, but still didn't say it out loud.

While she was hesitating, Lin Yanxia knelt down in front of everyone.

I only heard her crying, "Sister, my poor sister, why did you have to go through this? I really wish I could take your place. I only regret that I knew about it too late and couldn't stop it in advance. Woo woo..."

Everyone in the hall looked at her in confusion. Mother Lin sensed something strange and hurried forward to pull her little daughter.

"Yanxia, ​​don't cry. Your sister is back safely now. You must be tired after taking care of mom all night. Go back to your room and rest first."

Unexpectedly, Lin Yanxia broke free from her mother's hand and cried to everyone in the hall: "No, mother! I want to speak! I will go against my conscience if I don't speak. I will never let those who harmed my sister go unpunished."

He Zhiyuan saw that she was crying and making it clear, so he couldn't help but ask, "Who wants to harm your sister? What do you know?"

"It's the Yin family! It's Madam Yin and Miss Yin who want to harm my sister!"

Lin Yanxia raised her eyes, quickly glanced at everyone's expressions, and sobbed with her hands covering her face.
