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

"I believe you, Madam Xiangru, I have..."

Before Lin Yanyu could finish her words, the man with yellow teeth who was intercepted began to yell in anger.

"You believe her, but I don't. Who knows if this woman is a liar? Let's go to the coffin shop."

Liu Xiangru showed a look of fear, and she held Lin Yanyu's hand and cried, "Female Bodhisattva, I am really not a liar. Please come with me to the coffin shop. This silver was given by you. I just want you to know that I am really not a liar."

Lin Yanyu was anxious to leave and looked at Liu Xiangru in embarrassment.

Suddenly someone in the crowd recognized Lin Yanyu and shouted, "Miss Lin, just go ahead. It will be less than a quarter of an hour before the coffin shop arrives. Go and help us all check if this woman is a liar or not. Otherwise, your five taels of silver will go down the drain."

At this time, Liu Xiangru felt even more aggrieved. With red eyes, she shook Lin Yanyu's sleeve and cried, "Miss Lin, I'm really not a liar. Please come with me quickly to prove my innocence."

Lin Yanyu was helpless. She thought that it would be less than a quarter of an hour. If she walked faster, she would still be in time for Li Yanqi's appointment. She said helplessly, "Okay."

The man with yellow teeth said angrily, "Then I'll go and take a look too. Who knows if you'll protect her if she cries."

Lin Yanyu glanced at the yellow-toothed man with displeasure, thinking to herself, "I paid the five taels of silver, so even if I was cheated, it was me who was cheated. There are so many things going on without spending any money, it's really despicable."

The group of three turned into the alley and headed towards the coffin shop.

Liu Xiangru's eyes were red and swollen. She held Lin Yanyu's hand and kept thanking her: "Thank you, Miss Lin. If it weren't for you, I don't know when my poor husband would be able to rest in peace."

"Hmph, so hypocritical." The man with yellow teeth next to her mocked Liu Xiangru with disdain.

No matter how the yellow-toothed man sneered at her, Lin Yanyu patted Liu Xiangru's hand comfortingly and said, "Madam Xiangru, everyone has difficulties. I am just passing by and can only help you."

Liu Xiangru's repeated thanks made Lin Yanyu a little embarrassed. She was afraid that she would say more words of thanks, so she changed the subject and said, "You are so young, and your husband should not be that old either. I don't think you are from Yunlong Town, so how did you get here?"

"We are indeed not from Yunlong Town." Liu Xiangru paused, a gentle look appeared on her face, and she said softly: "We still have a long way to go to the coffin shop. I wonder if Miss Lin is willing to listen to the story of me and my husband."

Lin Yanyu originally wanted to change the subject, but upon hearing this, she nodded and said, "That must be a beautiful story, Madam Xiangru, please tell it."

Liu Xiangru gave Lin Yanyu a grateful smile and spoke slowly.

"My husband's real name is Wang Zhenlong. He is from Baiyang Village, Wulong Town, Yunlong County. He is strong and handsome, and has a kind and generous personality. Although his family is not rich, his father is hardworking and capable, his mother is kind and thrifty, and his grandparents are well-known for their good relationships in the village. Our family lives a difficult but happy life."

From Liu Xiangru's simple description, Lin Yanyu couldn't help but smile.

As the wife of a cabinet minister in her previous life, she had experienced walking on thin ice and being surrounded by dangers. She had also experienced being surrounded by flowers and having to order servants around. She had experienced all kinds of life, and in the end she discovered that this simple and ordinary happiness was the most precious.

The gentle look in Liu Xiangru's eyes faded, and turned into a watery color. She changed the subject and said, "But the good times didn't last long. When my husband was 20 years old, the rich man Wang from Wulong Town took a fancy to his family's fertile land."

"In order to seize the land, the rich man Wang hired someone to beat my husband's father to death while he was out with the caravan. After his father died, his mother couldn't bear the shock and hanged herself. His grandparents also died unable to bear the pain of losing their son."

At this point, Liu Xiangru couldn't help but wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves.

"My husband went out for business for three years and came home to find that his family was all gone. He was so grief-stricken that he went to find the rich man Wang with a knife. But the rich man Wang had a big family and wealth, and my husband couldn't stand up to them. So...he was killed by them...I had no one to turn to, and I was afraid that the rich man Wang would also kill me, so I had no choice but to take my husband's body and flee to Yunlong Town."

Lin Yanyu looked reluctant and was about to say something to comfort him with red eyes, but suddenly she realized that there was something wrong with this story.

Liu Xiangru kept saying that Wang Zhenlong was her husband, but she seemed to have no involvement in the whole process. She called Wang Zhenlong her husband, but why didn't she call Wang Zhenlong's parents father-in-law and mother-in-law when she was narrating?

Lin Yanyu frowned, and before she could react, Liu Xiangru pulled her sleeve and dragged her into the coffin shop.

A bald man in shorts was lying on the table in front of the coffin shop. Hearing the noise, he rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked up and shouted, "Second and Third Boss, you're back!"

"Second in command? Third in command?"

Lin Yanyu was horrified and turned around to leave.

Then he found his arm was clamped by Liu Xiangru. Liu Xiangru, who was gentle as water just now, raised her eyebrows, her eyes shot out fierce light, and she said coldly: "Miss Lin, since you have come with us, are you going to leave without sitting down and having a cup of tea?"

Lin Yanyu frowned in confusion and questioned Liu Xiangru and the yellow-toothed man, "Who are you? I have no grudges against you in the past or today, and we have never met before. Why did you trick me here?"

"It doesn't matter whether Miss Lin knows us or not." Liu Xiangru said with a half-smile, "It's enough for Yunlong County Lieutenant Li Yanqi to know you."

Lin Yanyu's eyes widened immediately, thinking of how Li Yanqi had gone to Wulong Mountain to suppress bandits and captured the bandit leader Hun Jianglong alive not long ago, how could she not understand.

He struggled and shouted for help: "Help! Help!"

Liu Xiangru just watched her yelling and didn't stop her. Instead, she encouraged her, "You yell even louder. This coffin shop was specially soundproofed by the third brother with pottery jars. Let you try out whether the third brother's craftsmanship is good enough."

Lin Yanyu was filled with despair and could not help but curse in anger, "I was kind enough to help you and gave you all the money I had, but you took advantage of my kindness and kidnapped me here. Don't you think you are despicable?"

Thinking of the story Liu Xiangru just told, his eyes were red with true feelings, and he became even more angry and said, "It's hard for you. You made up a story just to deceive me! How despicable!"

Unexpectedly, Liu Xiangru said, "I didn't make up that story. If it weren't for the collusion between you corrupt officials and those gentry, how could my elder brother be forced to lose his family and have nowhere to turn to? He avenged himself by killing the rich man Wang, but was forced to become a bandit by you!"

Liu Xiangru's voice became more and more fierce. "My elder brother hates those wealthy businessmen who oppress the common people. He has never hurt the common people. He only kills those who are rich but unkind! Li Yanqi relied on his martial arts skills to capture him alive. What's the logic behind this!"

After saying that, Liu Xiangru took the rope from her waist and tied Lin Yanyu up tightly regardless of her struggles.

"Miss Lin, I advise you to save your energy in scolding me. If you know what's best for you, just follow me obediently. If you don't know what's best for you, I will use all my tricks on you!"
