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

The rays of the setting sun were like red gold fragments, pouring into the room from the window, spreading on the beauty's sweaty forehead, refracting an ambiguous golden-red warm light.

Lin Yanyu's feathery eyelashes, like flying eaves, trembled slightly under her eyebrows and slowly opened.

She was stunned for a moment, and she didn't know when she passed out. Maybe it was an hour ago, or maybe a quarter of an hour ago.

Lin Yanyu wanted to stand up, but just as she raised her head a little, she fell back and uttered an uncontrollable groan of pain.

"Ah."

Her noise startled the people behind her.

Li Yanqi propped himself up and looked at her. At this moment, Li Yanqi seemed like a different person, exuding an aura of satisfaction and peace.

After the fierce struggle just now, the girl's reaction gave him a great sense of security, and his extremely restless heart was calmed.

He curled his bright red lips, like the most harmless boy in the world, and asked sweetly: "Baby, what do you want to do? Are you thirsty? I'll go get you some water."

Lin Yanyu was still angry and didn't want to respond to him. She grabbed the mattress and turned over on the beauty bed, facing the window filled with the afterglow of the setting sun, with her back facing him.

Li Yanqi chuckled twice, took his bathrobe from the shelf and put it on, opened the lid of the small coal stove, and waited for the kettle on it to boil.

He poured a cup, half-dressed in a black nightgown, sat outside the beauty couch, and carefully blew the tea to cool it down.

Lin Yanyu was determined to ignore him, but he pulled her and her blanket into his arms with one hand and handed the tea of ​​suitable temperature to her mouth.

The man said in a sweet voice: "My dear, drink it quickly. It's okay for me to hold it like this. If it gets cold, you won't have anything to drink and you'll be thirsty for nothing."

Lin Yanyu swallowed, her throat aching from the dryness, but when she thought of what had just happened, she turned her head away with dignity.

"Haha."

His laughter made Lin Yanyu's back numb.

And he also said: "Are you punishing me in this way? Okay, okay, I was wrong. Please forgive me, my lady. Drink some water. Otherwise, I will..."

He lowered his voice and leaned close to the girl's white jade ear.

Lin Yanyu turned around immediately and saw him smiling wickedly with the corners of his lips curled up, which made her feel even more aggrieved.

Her misty black eyes were covered with a layer of water mist, and she accused: "You might as well just kill me if you bully me like this."

Li Yanqi quickly hugged the girl in his arms and apologized repeatedly.

"I'm wrong, dear baby. I'm the bastard. I deserve to die. I shouldn't be so jealous. Don't be angry."

Li Yanqi admitted that when he saw Lin Yanyu standing with a scholar, he felt as if he was being stabbed by needles.

He did not forget that Lin Yanyu's childhood sweetheart He Zhiyuan was a scholar. If it weren't for the Chunfengyuan incident, the girl in her arms would have married He Zhiyuan.

For the past ten years or so, he has been spying in the dark like a rat in a gutter, and only he knows the sadness he feels during this time.

What he had worked so hard to get was easily available to others.

How could he not panic?

Who made Lin’s parents and Lin Yanyu like scholars?

First there was He Zhiyuan, and then his mother-in-law found a matchmaker, and the one she chose was a scholar. What a coincidence that this scholar was Zhuang Xingbai!

If he hadn't known the news in advance and secretly threatened Matchmaker Wang, maybe Zhuang Xingbai would have really become the son-in-law of the Lin family, and there would be no chance for him, Li Yanqi.

"Jealousy, who are you jealous of? Zhuang Xingbai?"

Lin Yanyu's voice was hoarse, as if she couldn't believe it. She opened her eyes wide like a kitten and looked at Li Yanqi, who suddenly became depressed.

"Are you crazy? I don't even know him, why are you jealous of him? We are short of a clerk, and he is just the right person to take over my job. Don't you think I am in the soup kitchen every day and have no time to accompany you?"

"You, you don't know Zhuang Xingbai? Your mother..."

Li Yanqi's eyes widened slightly, then he shut up after realizing what was happening. He was happy about the news and would never be stupid enough to tell Lin Yanyu the real reason for his jealousy.

Lin Yanyu frowned slightly and asked him, "Why should I know him? Is he famous here?"

"No, no, I was distracted."

Li Yanqi saw her puzzled expression and feared being questioned, so he immediately changed the subject: "We have never recruited local young men from Yunlong County. Now that we have recruited this person, I don't know if Dong Xicheng will think too much."

As he spoke, he handed the warm tea to the rosy-cheeked girl's lips.

Lin Yanyu fell into deep thought, and subconsciously took Li Yanqi's hand and drank half the cup of tea.

She analyzed, "We only recruit refugees. First, it will reduce the pressure on Yunlong County's public security. Second, those wealthy businessmen will no longer bother County Magistrate Dong. Third, it will be good for him in Chongzhou, so he won't refuse. But if we recruit young and strong people from Yunlong County, it will inevitably arouse County Magistrate Dong's vigilance and dissatisfaction. But Zhuang Xingbai..."

"Tsk, it's really suitable. It would be a pity not to accept it."

The beauty's black hair was scattered as she lay on the beauty couch. She was wrapped in a crimson quilt, revealing her snow-white neck, and her brows were furrowed as if she had encountered a difficult problem.

Li Yanqi lowered his head and kissed her tightly furrowed brows, comforting her: "Alright, alright, it's okay, don't think about it anymore. We have so many people in the patrol camp now. I'll tell Dong Xicheng that I'm just hiring an accountant. I believe that useless guy can't do anything to me, so don't worry about him."

Li Yanqi said this, but in fact he did not take County Magistrate Dong seriously at all. Even if he really knew, he would not be afraid.

Lin Yanyu's delicate brows relaxed slightly, but she was still a little hesitant: "Really, don't worry about him? Even if County Magistrate Dong does nothing, he is still the biggest in Yunlong County. I'm afraid he will cause trouble for you."

"Starting the day after tomorrow, I will begin escorting the caravan. As long as I do my job well and win over those wealthy merchants with bulging wallets, Dong Xicheng will be unable to do anything to me even if he wants to. Don't worry, be good and drink the water."

Li Yanqi moved the cup of water closer to her pink lips. Lin Yanyu was still thinking about what he said, and subconsciously drank the water.

After she finished drinking, she remembered that she was still angry with him just now.

Feeling a little embarrassed, he glanced away and said awkwardly, "I'm still angry. Don't talk to me tonight."

Li Yanqi hugged her tightly, leaned over and rubbed his face against the girl's smooth cheek, and said weakly: "Good Zhizhi, good baby, I was wrong. Last night we agreed to read Sun Tzu's Art of War today. I still don't know many words. Do you have the heart to ask me to continue to be blind?"

Lin Yanyu's cheeks turned red from being rubbed by him, and her heart felt itchy. She could not stand his rubbing.

"The day after tomorrow I will escort the caravan to Qingshan County. The Yin family was ambushed there last time and died miserably. Sigh... I don't know if I will encounter those bandits this time."

Lin Yanyu turned around suddenly, grabbed his arm, and looked at him nervously with her watery eyes: "When you go the day after tomorrow, you must bring Xigui Ermu and Hu Ruiqi with you. If things go wrong, saving your life is the first priority, understand?"

"Yes, ma'am!"
