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

After Lin Yanyu learned from her parents that Li Yanqi would come to propose marriage tomorrow, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

Thoughts in her mind were as chaotic as snowflakes, and she didn't know whether she was nervous at such moments in her previous life.

After all, it had been so long that she had completely forgotten about it.

She told herself that it was okay, this was the path she had chosen, so she took a gamble. If Li Yanqi kept his promise and became a good husband, she could also be a good wife, supporting each other and spending their lives together, but...

If Li Yanqi had someone else, and took concubines and beautiful maids like other men, the worst that could happen to her would be that she divorced him.

Just take this chance.

Thinking of this, Lin Yanyu closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.

After a night of chaotic dreams, Lin Yanyu woke up late when she opened her eyes.

When I got up to wash, I passed by the main hall and found that Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin were both there.

Mother Lin spotted her immediately and told her, "Zhizhi, go wash up first. The kitchen lady has left some food for you. Take it back to your room and eat. Don't leave your room after you finish eating."

Lin Yanyu greeted the elders obediently, brushed her teeth and washed her face, then took the warm egg noodles in the steamer back to her room.

She had just eaten half of the egg her mother had prepared for her in the bowl when she heard a faint noise coming from outside.

The sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers came from far away and soon arrived at her doorstep.

A middle-aged man's voice was heard outside the door.

"Mr. Scholar! Mrs. Scholar! Congratulations! Good news is coming to you."

Lin Yanyu had never heard this voice before.

Mr. Lin and his mother were also full of doubts.

Everyone in the Lin family guessed that this might be the matchmaker invited by Li Yanqi? They quickly stood up to greet him.

Lin Xiucai was muttering, "Why does this voice sound familiar?" Then he saw a group of people walking in from outside.

Standing next to Li Yanqi was the county magistrate Dong of their Yunlong County.

Everyone was shocked, and Mr. Lin, regardless of the fact that he was sitting in a wheelchair, immediately bowed.

"I didn't know Magistrate Dong was coming. I apologize for not welcoming you."

County Magistrate Dong was a slightly plump man of medium build. He waved his hand and said, "No, no, it's my fault for coming here. I have nothing else to do today except to act as a matchmaker for my most respected subordinate, County Lieutenant Li."

How could ordinary people have the opportunity to see the county magistrate? Everyone in the Lin family was a little terrified.

Li Yanqi was unhappy. He had originally hired a matchmaker and paid the money, but when he went to prepare the betrothal gifts in the morning, this old guy found out and insisted on coming with him to join in the fun.

He glanced at the crowd but didn't see his sweetheart. Although he knew she wouldn't show up in such an occasion, he was still a little disappointed.

But when he thought of the important business, he perked up again.

He bowed to the elders of the Lin family as a junior, and said sincerely: "Yan Qi has no father or mother, and no serious elders. Today I have the courage to come here in person to ask to marry the eldest daughter of the Lin family."

It was a rare occasion that Li Yanqi did not wear black clothes today. Instead, he wore a green brocade robe embroidered with bamboo branches, which made him look tall and straight and refreshed.

Lin's parents were already satisfied with him, and today they were just going through the motions for everyone to see.

The Lin couple were still thinking about how to word it so as not to seem so deliberate.

Magistrate Dong, on the other hand, thought that the two were playing tricks on each other. He remembered his role as a matchmaker very well, and started praising Li Yanqi with a big belly.

"Scholar, don't hesitate any longer. County Magistrate Li is handsome, capable, rich and promising. Don't you know how many ladies from wealthy families and prostitutes are interested in County Magistrate Li and hope to be with him?"

Speaking of this, County Magistrate Dong was really envious.

Who would have thought that Li Yanqi now just wanted to blow his head off.

Li Yanqi cursed County Magistrate Dong in his heart: What the hell is he talking about? Is he trying to trick him? He knew that this old man would not be so kind.

Wasn't it just that he was a little late when his lover's Chunfengyuan was smashed yesterday? Was it necessary to retaliate against him like this?

Li Yanqi has really wronged County Magistrate Dong.

His original intention of coming here today was to do Li Yanqi a favor. After all, this kid was very capable and had great martial arts skills. The last time he went to the provincial capital, if Li Yanqi hadn't escorted him, he might have been in great danger.

Seeing that Chongzhou was about to fall into chaos, the master kept telling him that this boy was not an easy target and asked him to win him over. Who knows, they might have to ask Li Yanqi for help in the future.

He didn't even have time to sleep in and was dug out of bed by his master.

Looking at the stunned Lin family, Li Yanqi forced a smile and said, "County Magistrate Dong drank some wine this morning and got drunk. He is talking drunkenly."

"Huh? I didn't drink."

"Oh, so you are talking in your sleep before you wake up? I hope you won't mind, uncle and aunt."

County Magistrate Dong wanted to say something but Ma Xigui pulled him aside and whispered to him.

"Sir, when we went to Chunfeng Garden yesterday, Mother Chen asked me to tell you that she has learned a new dance recently and asked you to come visit her when you are free."

County Magistrate Dong felt itchy at that moment, because the tigress at home had been very strict recently and he hadn't been to Chunfeng Garden for a long time.

Thinking of the charming and gentle Chen Meixiang, County Magistrate Dong became a little impatient.

He whispered to Ma Xigui: "If anyone asks me, especially those in the backyard of the county government office, you can say that I stayed at the Lin family for dinner on behalf of Lieutenant Li. Don't let me know."

Ma Xigui's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery, and he smiled respectfully, "Okay, I understand, I understand everything. I'll let Liuzi follow you to prevent anyone from bumping into you. Have fun, sir."

Dong's eyes were full of admiration now, and he patted Ma Xigui on the shoulder and said, "If you don't want to work under Lieutenant Li anymore, you can come to me and I will double your wages."

Ma Xigui smiled flatteringly and said, "Thank you for your high regard, sir. I will definitely do it."

After County Magistrate Dong took Liuzi away, Ma Xigui brushed off his shoulders.

He spat in a low voice: "What kind of rubbish is this? You think you can compare with my big brother?"

As soon as County Magistrate Dong, the troublemaker, left, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

Mother Lin quickly said, "Okay, Yanqi, please go inside first and talk."

On this side, Li Yanqi followed the elders of the Lin family into the main hall, while on the other side, Ma Xigui shouted, asking Chen Ermu and others to take all the boxes off the carriage.

Chen Ermu held two mahogany boxes in each hand, which were so big that they required an adult man to hug them, and threw them into the yard as lightly as if they were two pieces of tofu.

The neighbors who had been watching and following the convoy burst into exclamations of surprise.

"Put it down gently, be careful if it breaks, or I'll skin you alive." Ma Xigui patted Chen Ermu's head.

"Hmph, you, you just know how to bully me, why don't you move." Chen Ermu was very unconvinced, but after glancing at the main hall, he slowly put down the things in his hands.

Soon, the Lin family's courtyard was filled with various boxes of different sizes, and no one knew what was inside.

But the contents of the bamboo basket could be clearly seen: two slaughtered pigs, some candies, snacks, rice, flour, grain and oil.

The most refreshing thing among them is the two wild geese flapping their wings with great energy.

Soon the entrance to the Lin family's courtyard was crowded with neighbors who came to watch the fun.
