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

After a busy day, after returning home and having dinner, Lin's mother finally had time to think carefully about what the master of Jiulong Temple had said during the day.

"Mei'er, what's wrong with you? Why do you seem uneasy all day long?"

It was not yet dark. Lin's mother looked into the yard and saw her daughter sitting in the yard, feeding Snowball with a loving look on her face. She was not paying attention to them. She lowered her voice and asked her husband.

"Old man, tell me the truth, what do you think of... that kid Li Yanqi?"

"I used to have some prejudice against him, but after getting to know him for a while, I think he is an enthusiastic, kind-hearted kid who is much better at what he says and does than other kids his age."

After Lin Xiucai finished praising him, he also advised his wife: "He has helped our family a lot during this period. Mei'er, don't be prejudiced in the future and stop looking down on others."

Lin's mother was immediately furious and pinched her husband's arm hard.

"Great, so the bad guy left me alone. Fine, since he's so nice, let him be your son-in-law."

Lin Xiucai hugged his arms and apologized repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, it's all my fault. But, Mei'er, although it was just a joke, it concerns my daughter's reputation, so it's better not to make such jokes."

"I'm not kidding you."

Lin Xiucai had been married to her for so many years that he could tell the difference between them. He became anxious and refused outright: "No! How can this be possible?"

"Hey, didn't you just praise me to the sky? You even complained that my nose is not a nose and my eyes are not eyes. How can I make him your son-in-law?"

She crossed her arms and looked sarcastically at her husband whose face turned red with anxiety.

"Yanqi is indeed good, and Zhizhi is also very good, but they are two people with completely different ideas. A couple should still have common topics, otherwise how can they last long? Aren't you just kidding me?"

Mr. Lin's original intention was to persuade her to give up the idea, but who knew that his wife was suspicious.

"Well, you old man, you finally said it, right? Tell me, do you think I am uneducated and hold you back?"

"Mei'er, you misunderstood me. How could I dislike you? I was talking about Yanqi and Zhizhi. How can they be the same as us?"

Mother Lin was angry about what her husband said and turned her back to him, refusing to pay attention to him. Lin Yanyu walked in holding Snowball.

She noticed that the atmosphere between her parents was not right, so she asked, "Mom and Dad, what are you doing?"

"It's okay. I had a few words with your dad. The weather is getting cold. You want to embroider a headband for your grandma, right? Your fat aunt went to town today and bought you all the fabric and thread. She has put it by your bed."

"Really? I'll go back to my room first then."

Lin Yanyu left the main room holding the whining Snowball.

After sending her daughter away, Lin's mother turned back and questioned her husband who was sitting in the wheelchair.

"Why is it different? You are a scholar, and when I married you, I was just an illiterate girl. Zhizhi was taught by you to read and write and has talent, but although Yanqi is a warrior, he is also a ninth-rank official. Better than me, right?"

"Mei'er, didn't you tell me to have less contact with Yan Qi? You are... I know about mother's health, and I know you are very anxious about Zhizhi's marriage, but you are not anxious in this way."

Mr. Lin wanted to continue persuading her, but seeing that she was refusing to respond and was very stubborn, he couldn't help but get angry as well.

"I don't care. I don't agree."

The couple folded their arms across their chests, like little children, with their backs to each other, ignoring each other.

Just then, there was a knock on the fastened door.

It's so late, who could it be?

The couple looked at each other and saw the same question in each other's eyes.

"Who is it?"

Mother Lin opened the door while asking.

In the twilight, she saw the young man she had just met in the morning and asked him in surprise, "Yanqi? It's so late, what are you doing here?"

"Yes, I have something to discuss with Uncle Lin."

Li Yanqi nodded and lowered his brows with a gentle smile.

Because her husband was well-educated, Li Yanqi often discussed official matters with him.

Lin's mother thought that this was also some urgent official business in the county government, and he was unsure, so she quickly let him into the house.

"Your uncle Lin is sitting in the main room. Go find him. I'll get you an oil lamp."

Mr. Lin was in the main room and vaguely heard what was said. He knew that the subject of the previous conversation had arrived, and he thought they were discussing official business.

Unexpectedly, Li Yanqi walked up to him, knelt down and kowtowed three times.

Mr. Lin was so frightened that he quickly reached out to help him.

"Yanqi, get up quickly, what are you doing! Get up quickly."

Lin's mother came to deliver an oil lamp. When she saw this situation, she was shocked. She put the oil lamp on the table and came over to help Li Yanqi.

"Look at you kid, what are you doing?"

"Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, there is something I have been thinking about for a long time and I would like to ask for your consent. Logically, I shouldn't come to disturb you so late, please forgive me."

The Lin couple looked at each other in confusion.

"No matter what, get up and talk first."

Li Yanqi remained unmoved, staring straight at the Lin couple with a determined look on his face.

"I am attracted to the eldest daughter of the Lin family, Lin Yanyu, and would like to ask you two to marry her to me."

The Lin couple, who originally wanted to help him up, let go of his hands at the same time, and Mr. Lin even moved his wheelchair back.

"I know that I am an orphan and have not received much education. I am not worthy of Miss Lin. It is also too much to ask you two for this."

"Why are you bringing it up?" Lin's mother rebuked him mercilessly.

Although she had just argued with her husband for him, she still felt unwilling when she thought of her beautiful and well-educated daughter.

Li Yanqi rarely suffered a loss. He choked and drooped his eyebrows. He looked even more pitiful and spoke weakly.

"I know that I am not a well-known person, and I have never appeared in front of her in all these years. The day I rescued Miss Lin was the first time we met after growing up."

Lin's mother was very good at grasping the key points. "What do you mean by meeting for the first time after growing up? Have you met Zhizhi before?"

"Yes, when I was wandering in Yunlong Town and almost starving to death, it was the eldest daughter of the Lin family who gave me a bun, which kept me alive."

Lin Xiucai looked reluctant, "I pity you. You must have suffered a lot growing up, right?"

He sighed again, "I didn't expect you two would have such a fate. She saved you first, and then you saved her. Good people are rewarded with good things."

"Uncle Lin is right. I know that I come from a humble background and have never had any delusions. But today, the words of the master of Jiulong Temple have given me great encouragement. I have the courage to come here and ask you to marry the eldest daughter of the Lin family to me. I swear to treat her well for the rest of my life and never have second thoughts. If I break my oath, I will not die well."

Mr. Lin was somewhat moved, but more confused.

He knew that his wife and daughter went to Kowloon Temple today. After they came back, his wife's attitude suddenly changed. What did the master of Kowloon Temple say?

After hearing what Li Yanqi said, Lin Xiucai's doubts about the Jiulong Temple and the master were all thrown out of his mind.

"If you two are still worried, I am willing to marry into the Lin family! I will be the son-in-law of the Lin family."
