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

Li Yanqi lifted the tent. He looked like a fairy who absorbed people's essence. His whole body and even his hair were glowing. He put on his clothes neatly.

"You can sleep a little longer. The food is in the steamer in the kitchen. If you need anything later, you can ask the maid to do it for you. You can just walk around today. I'm going out. Just be good at home."

Li Yanqi leaned over, kissed her on the forehead, then turned and walked out of the room.

As soon as he walked out of the door, Ma Xigui, who had been waiting for a long time, came up to him with a excited look on his face.

Li Yanqi kicked him on the butt: "Don't be so weird, what's going on?"

"Brother, this is good news. Liu Cheng, that old guy, is finished."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"Our people have been following Liu Cheng since yesterday. We didn't expect to find out anything in just a few days, but guess what?" Ma Xigui was beaming with excitement.

"If you keep keeping me in suspense, I'll kick your ass."

"Don't worry, big brother. Listen to me. Liu Cheng disguised himself and sneaked into the house of Widow Huang in the east of the town at midnight last night!"

Li Yanqi thought for a moment and frowned slightly.

"I remember this widow Huang, she had a chastity arch."

"Yes, big brother, the most fatal thing is not this. You think Liu Cheng could go after her when there are so many people he can go after? Could it be that the widow is a fairy?"

"You dare to mess with me? What I hate most is those people who can't control their lower body and urinate everywhere."

Li Yanqi snorted, turned around and started walking towards the county government office.

"Let's go and have a cup of tea with County Magistrate Dong and have a good chat about this Widow Huang."

Lin Yanyu lay down for a while, and only stood up after the soreness in her body had subsided.

I went to the kitchen to drink a bowl of soup and happened to see Mrs. Liu sweeping the garden, so I chatted with her for a few words.

Knowing that she had a bedridden partner and only one son who died in an accident a few years ago, she was very grateful for being able to work at Li's house and earn some money.

When Mrs. Liu went to collect the laundry, Lin Yanyu noticed that her bellyband was not in the basket where the dirty clothes were placed.

She thought Li Yanqi had forgotten it when he was packing yesterday, so she went to look for it in the room, but she even looked under the bed, but still couldn't find it.

His face flushed and he wondered if it was taken away by Li Yanqi.

Sitting on the bed, he cursed angrily: "This pervert!"

Now that she had one less bellyband and she didn't know if that pervert would return it, she planned to go to the town and buy some silk cloth and embroidery thread to make a bellyband.

It wasn't far from Li's residence to the town, and it would only take half an hour to walk. She had been lying down since yesterday afternoon, and her body was sore from sleeping, so it was a good opportunity for her to go out and move around.

Mrs. Liu asked her if she wanted to go with her. Lin Yanyu knew that Mrs. Liu had to go back to cook for her husband at noon, so she considerately refused.

"Madam, please buy some dried persimmons, madam."

Being called Madam, Lin Yanyu was stunned for a moment before she realized that she was now married and had her hair tied in a bun.

She didn't want to buy it at first, but her mother made so much that they couldn't finish it, so she gave a lot of it to neighbors.

But when she saw the old man selling persimmon cakes, with wrinkles on his face, looking thin and listless, with lifeless eyes looking at her pleadingly, she felt pity for him.

"Give me two pounds."

"Thank you, ma'am. I wish you and your spouse a happy and loving relationship."

Lin Yanyu took the persimmon cake wrapped in lotus leaves and went to the area selling fabrics and embroidery threads. When she passed by Jinxiu Pavilion, she stopped.

Thinking of her exquisite wedding dress and wedding quilt, Lin Yanyu felt that it was polite for her to thank Lady Jin when she passed by here.

When she stepped into Jinxiu Pavilion, she saw Lady Jin and two female guests sitting in the special reception area and talking about something. She pretended to be a customer and strolled around the display rack, not intending to disturb them.

Unexpectedly, when Lady Jin saw her, she dropped the two guests she was carrying and walked towards her, smiling and saying, "Are you Madam Li? Do you want to have your clothes made or buy ready-made clothes?"

Lin Yanyu was a little surprised that she recognized who she was at a glance.

He bowed to Lady Jin and said softly, "I came here for no other reason than to thank you for making the wedding dress and quilt. They are very beautiful and I like them very much."

Lady Jin laughed heartily: "I thought it was nothing else. Since you like my craftsmanship, you should come and talk to me often. I like young and pretty wives like you the most."

Lin Yanyu likes forthright people, and Jin Niangzi's straightforwardness is quite to her liking, so she couldn't help but laugh too.

"sure."

"As for those Shu brocades in Madam Li's hands, if you want to make ready-made clothes from them, you must send them to me. I have been coveting them for a long time."

At this time, Jin Niangzi's two customers stood up and walked over, and the younger woman greeted Lin Yanyu.

"Ms. Lin, long time no see. How are you doing recently?"

It turned out to be Yin Jiaqi, whom I had met once before, and behind her was Mrs. Yin, who looked embarrassed.

Madam Yin's hair seemed to have not grown back yet, and she called out dryly, "Hello, Madam Li."

Out of courtesy, Lin Yanyu nodded in return.

"Hello, Miss Yin."

"My brother is getting engaged, and my mother and I are here to make wedding clothes for him."

Lin Yanyu bowed her head slightly and said with blessing: "Then I wish Master Yin a happy wedding in advance."

What she was thinking in her heart was that the time when the Yin family father and son died in her previous life seemed to be not far away. She wondered if things would change in this life?

But what did this have to do with her? Since the Yin family had done something so nasty as to harm her reputation, she had done the greatest kindness by not retaliating.

After saying goodbye to Lady Jin, I bought the things I needed and headed home.

When she reached the corner of the street, a pair of grandparents and grandchildren came into her sight.

The skinny old woman was holding a skinny child in her arms. The child's eyes were so big that they were a little scary. He looked at the persimmon cake in her hand with longing.

That look was like a knife, cutting people's hearts.

There were many pedestrians coming and going, but no one stopped to ask.

Lin Yanyu sighed, turned and walked towards the stall selling steamed buns next to her.

The proprietress watched for a long time, understood her intention, and sighed as well.

"This grandparents and grandchildren are refugees from Maozhou. We have many such refugees coming here one after another. Madam, you can't handle them all. The prefect of Chongzhou has ordered the city gates to be closed and refugees are not allowed to enter the city. Now everyone is in danger, where can we have surplus food? Why pity others? The rice shop is about to close."

Carrying the steamed buns that were three times more expensive than usual, Lin Yanyu felt heavy-hearted.

She knew she couldn't control so many people, but she really couldn't turn a blind eye.

She handed the steamed buns and dried persimmons in her hand to the child who had been looking at her. The child took the steamed buns and dried persimmons and thanked her very politely and in a soft voice: "Thank you, fairy sister."

The child handed the steamed bun to his grandmother and motioned for her to eat it.

The old woman held the child in her arms and knelt down on her bony knees.

"Thank you ma'am, ma'am. Thank you ma'am."

Lin Yanyu felt sad and said to the old woman, "There is a relief hall in the south of the town. You can go and have a look."

"We've been there. Madam, you don't know that there are so many refugees that no one has been there to take care of the relief center for a long time."

Lin Yanyu fell silent.

The old woman held the child in her arms and lay back down with numb eyes. "Let's live one more day."
