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

"I want you to be my only one in this life, and never take a concubine!"

Lin Yanyu stared straight at the pair of happy eyes and said seriously, "If you can't do it, then forget about it. From now on, please don't mess with me again."

She really didn't want to see again in her life the envious and resentful looks from the women in the backyard, as well as the vicious and dirty means they used to pamper and play with the children.

Earlier, He Zhiyuan had a concubine named Liu, who was bestowed by the emperor for her contribution to flood control. Concubine Liu relied on her different status and had improper thoughts after she became pregnant. She bribed the cook in her yard and gave her a poisonous drug.

The rebels' pursuit caused her to have a miscarriage. At that time, the doctor said that it would be difficult for her to have children in the future. If she was taken good care of, she might still have some hope in her lifetime. She and He Zhiyuan were still hoping that she could recover, but the strong medicine given by Aunt Liu completely destroyed her hope of having her own children in the future.

In the end, He Zhiyuan ordered his servants to beat Aunt Liu to death with sticks in front of all the concubines in the backyard, along with her unborn child.

The culprit died in such a miserable way, which also frightened the restless concubines in the backyard, but she did not feel happy at all. Aunt Liu was indeed vicious and hurt her for her own ambitions, but if He Zhiyuan had not taken her in and made her pregnant, how could Aunt Liu have such inappropriate thoughts and take the risk to attack her, the wife of the first wife?

Lin Yanyu stared at Li Yanqi with her big, round grape-like eyes, waiting for his answer, thinking that if he didn't agree, she would never talk to him again.

Li Yanqi, who was so nervous that he forgot to breathe, let out a long sigh and said with a relaxed look, "I was wondering what it was?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to tease Lin Yanyu's snow-white cheek and said jokingly, "Your expression is so scary. I thought you wanted me to kill King Zhao Huo and General Xiahou Yi. You made me so nervous."

Li Yanqi was so nervous that he almost suffocated. He thought it was something that he could hardly accomplish and was worried that he wouldn't be able to marry her, but it turned out that he just didn't want to take a concubine.

Lin Yanyu didn't believe there was a man who wasn't lustful. In her previous life, everyone said that He Zhiyuan loved her deeply, but in the end, he still...

She thought Li Yanqi didn't take her words to heart, and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. She frowned and avoided his mischievous hands, saying seriously: "Li Yanqi, I'm not joking with you. If you can't do it, let me go and let me go home. Please don't bother me again in the future."

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, okay, don't be upset."

Seeing that she was really annoyed, Li Yanqi immediately retracted the hand that was teasing her face.

But he couldn't help thinking secretly in his heart: When I marry you, I will definitely pinch this snow-white face every day, and smell this sweet fragrance every day. Who can stop me from teasing my own wife when I see this?

She said, "It's my fault. I shouldn't tease you at this time. I promise you that you will be my only lover in this life and I will never take a concubine!"

Lin Yanyu stared at his suddenly serious face and insisted, "Why did you agree so easily? I don't believe it. Swear."

Li Yanqi was upset when he saw that she didn't believe him. He couldn't help but hold her little face with his big hands, lowered his head and looked into her eyes, and said seriously, word by word:

"I swear, I, Li Yanqi, will only love Lin Yanyu in my life, and I will never take a concubine! If you break this oath, I will starve to death, be beaten to death by the beggars in Yunlong Town, or be hacked to death by the bandits in Wulong Mountain!"

"Okay, okay, no need to say more, I believe you."

Lin Yanyu immediately stopped him from continuing. She knew Li Yanqi's tragic experience. He had made such a vicious oath. Even if she had doubts, she now believed it. At least Li Yanqi was sincere now...

Li Yanqi was delighted to see that she believed him. He immediately returned to his old ways and tried to come up and rub against her with a shameless face, but Lin Yanyu slapped him back and poured a basin of cold water over his head.

"Although I have promised you, my father and mother don't know about this yet. Especially my mother, she is very worried about you. If you can't get my father and mother to agree, it won't work."

The corners of Li Yanqi's mouth suddenly dropped, and he could not help but grab Lin Yanyu's hand and said anxiously: "Don't you scholars always say that a scholar's words are more powerful than four horses can catch up? You have already promised me, so you can't go back on your word!"

"A gentleman's word is as good as gold, but I'm not a gentleman, I'm a woman." Lin Yanyu said coldly, and added: "I have one more condition. If you want to be with me, you can't be an illiterate blind man. Go back and study hard. Learn to read the Thousand Character Classic, and then come to me."

"What!? No! I don't agree!"

Li Yanqi immediately became anxious. He had been looking at her eagerly for so many years, and now she was finally willing to talk to him, be nice to him, and even marry him.

If he didn't see Lin Yanyu for a day, he would feel uncomfortable as if an ant was crawling all over his body, and could only use a handkerchief to relieve his pain of missing her.

He doesn't even know what the Thousand Character Classic is. Who knows how long it will take him to learn it all?

"Oh, then just pretend that nothing happened today." Lin Yanyu lowered her head to pry open his hands that were hugging her, and pretended to leave.

Li Yanqi complained bitterly, "My dear aunt, I agree, I agree, isn't that enough? I agree to learn that damn Thousand Character Classic, but I can't meet you, this is non-negotiable."

Lin Yanyu stopped what she was doing and looked at his wrinkled face. She didn't know what she was thinking and continued to put forward conditions.

"Not only do you need to learn the Thousand Character Classic, but you also need to read through history books and military strategies."

"What!" Li Yanqi's eyes widened as he said indignantly, "You don't want me to learn from that pretty boy surnamed He and take the imperial examination, do you? Isn't it too late? I'm already eighteen years old. Besides, I'm not that kind of person."

When Li Yanqi mentioned He Zhiyuan, he felt sour in his heart that he rolled his eyes up to the sky.

"Who told you to learn from him?"

Lin Yanyu was puzzled. "Didn't you go to the prefecture with County Magistrate Dong a few days ago? I believe you have already known about the rebellion of King Cheng. Born in troubled times, you have martial arts skills, but you can protect me alone, but what about my parents? What about Li Zhaofeng who has done you a favor? What about Chen Ermu and Ma Xigui? These are just examples. I want to ask you, are you confident that you can protect so many people with your fists?"

Li Yanqi fell silent.

"King Cheng killed the emperor, Emperor Jing died, and General Xiahou attacked King Cheng. The two sides are now fighting to the death in Qingzhou. The governors of various vassal states are also ready to make a move but are not doing so. Our Chongzhou is located in the center of the Jing Dynasty. The people are rich and the water conservancy is well developed. It has always been a place that military strategists must fight for. It is only a matter of time before we are involved in the war."

Li Yanqi suddenly thought of the several well-equipped remnant soldiers he encountered on the way when he was escorting the county magistrate to the provincial capital to meet Xiahou Yi's staff, and even lost several useless soldiers.

"This is our home, our relatives and neighbors are here... I just hope that we can all have more hope of survival. Do you understand what I mean, Li Yanqi?"

Li Yanqi looked at the pair of misty eyes, and emotions surged in his heart.

"Okay, I'll learn."
