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

On the tenth day, Lin Yanyu was still asleep, but Li Yanqi had already gotten up quietly. He bent down and gave the girl a light kiss on the forehead, then left home without making any noise.

He then rushed to the patrol camp, taking with him a group of people who had been appointed last night, and escorted the wealthy Wang's caravan to Qingshan County.

After Lin Yanyu woke up, she was still a little dazed. She stared at the empty bed in a daze.

Mrs. Liu came in and said, "Madam, breakfast is ready. Do you want to get up and eat now?"

Lin Yanyu came back to her senses, her voice a little hoarse, and asked hesitantly: "He... when did he leave this morning?"

Mrs. Liu: "My Lord left at 1:00 pm. Before he left, he specifically asked me to make your favorite tofu soup in the morning."

Lin Yanyu was a little absent-minded while eating, as if there was a heavy stone hanging in her heart. She wanted to find something to do to divert her attention.

She went to the relief hall first to see if there was anyone who could help, but it turned out that Zhuang Xingbai handled things in a very organized manner and there was no need for her to intervene.

He turned around and went to the patrol camp to see the progress of the barracks.

Ma Xigui did not go to Qingshan County, but was left in the patrol camp to lead everyone to build the wall. He noticed Lin Yanyu coming and immediately put down the bricks and stones in his hands, brushed off the dust on his body, and walked forward.

He smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, why are you here? There's still one side of the wall that hasn't been built yet. It's dusty and dirty here. Come back and have a look after it's been cleaned up in a few days."

Lin Yanyu had something on her mind, so she forced a smile and said, "I'll come and see if there's anything I can do to help."

Ma Xigui looked at the soldiers who were handing bricks, mixing mud and building walls, then turned back to look at Lin Yanyu with an embarrassed expression.

Lin Yanyu followed his gaze...

It seemed like there was really nothing she could do, and she couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.

Ma Xigui was a shrewd man who knew how to read people's expressions. Seeing that Lin Yanyu was uneasy, he comforted her and said, "Brother is smart. The people he brought this time are also well-selected. Don't worry, sister-in-law. If things go well, brother will be back tomorrow night."

Lin Yanyu was suddenly shocked. Was her performance so obvious?

But when Li Yanqi was at home, she was clearly full of disdain for him and was often angry with him.

When they first got married, she also wanted to treat Li Yanqi with respect and be able to withdraw at any time if anything went wrong.

It has been less than a month since they got married...

As soon as he left, she began to feel distracted. She couldn't enjoy her food or see the beautiful scenery...

Lin Yanyu's heart suddenly started to ring with alarm bells.

"Before leaving, my eldest brother asked me to tell my eldest sister-in-law that he would be away for the next two days. If she feels bored, she can go back to her parents' home for a few days. He will pick you up when he comes back."

Lin Yanyu didn't dare to think about it, and suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her mind and said, "Okay."

It was spring, and the weather was gradually getting warmer. Lin Yanyu had taken off her thick coat and skirt, but when she arrived at the Lin family, her forehead was still slightly wet with sweat.

The sun was high in the sky. Lin's mother, Lin's eldest aunt Li, and Aunt Pang were sitting under a bare persimmon tree, talking about something.

Mrs. Li looked worried, while mother Lin and Aunt Pang looked angry.

"Mom, I'm back!"

Lin Yanyu walked into the Lin family courtyard, carrying candies and snacks and with a sincere smile.

"Oh! My daughter is back!"

Mother Lin's face instantly lit up with smiles. She quickly stood up and took the things from Lin Yanyu's hand and asked, "Why did you come back today? Didn't you say you were going to help Yan Qi record some refugee information recently?"

Lin Yanyu smiled and explained, "The Internal Affairs Department has just hired a clerk, so I have some free time."

She glanced at Mrs. Li and Auntie Pang, and half-booed to them: "Hello, Auntie Pang, hello."

Aunt Fat looked Lin Yanyu up and down and said with a smile, "Zhizhi is back. Your mother was just talking about you, worried that you wouldn't eat well at your husband's house. Your mother is just worrying about nothing. In my opinion, you are a little plumper than the last time I saw you."

When Lin Yanyu saw where Aunt Pang's gaze was, she couldn't help but her eyelashes trembled violently and her face became hot.

Mother Lin's eyes also fell on her daughter's rounded figure. She pulled over a bamboo stool with a sullen smile, supported her daughter's slender waist, and said, "It's warm in the yard. You sit here and talk to your aunt and Aunt Fatty for a while. I'll go get some snacks."

Lin Yanyu was afraid that Auntie Pang would continue to tease her, so she asked as soon as she sat down: "What were you talking about just now? You look so serious."

"What else could it be? It's just those gossipy women!"

Aunt Fat's face turned red with anger, and she looked full of disgust.

"A touch of the upper and lower lips is enough to ruin a good girl. If it weren't for these murderers, how could my poor girl seek death...?"

As she spoke, Aunt Fat started to cry.

Lin Yanyu thought of Liu Erya, who was raped by Wang San and hanged herself, and felt uncomfortable. She reached out to cover Auntie Pang's hand and comforted her, "Auntie Pang, don't be sad. Fortunately, evil people will be punished."

Auntie Fat wiped away her tears with her hands and forced a smile: "Speaking of this, I have to thank your husband. Although I don't know how Wang San offended him and was castrated and sold to a pickled place by him, this can be regarded as revenge for our Erya. Auntie is really grateful to him."

"Wang San deserves his punishment, but these people are gossiping about Sister Erya again?" Lin Yanyu frowned slightly, feeling annoyed.

"No, Arya is gone. Let them say whatever they want. She is your cousin."

"Sister Jing?"

Lin Yanyu opened her eyes wide in shock and looked at Li who was sitting next to Auntie Fatty: "Aunt, what happened to Sister Jing?"

Li had a sad face and lamented, "Alas, didn't your sister Jing and Du Jian get divorced? I wanted to take advantage of the three-month mourning period for your grandmother to ask matchmaker Wang to look for a matchmaker for her. But... I don't know which bastard spread the rumor that your sister Jing was driven back by her husband's family because she couldn't have children. The doctor said that there is nothing wrong with your sister's health! Those gossipers! They gossip everywhere, causing your sister to not even dare to leave the house now."

Lin Yanyu frowned tightly. She knew very well how harsh the world was on women. If there really was a good candidate, Lin Jing might as well consider it.

She asked, "What did Matchmaker Wang say?"

Li's face flushed red, and she said in a hateful voice, "It would be fine if you didn't mention this, but I get angry when you do. What kind of people are the ones that matchmaker Wang is willing to marry? Either they are physically disabled, or they will have to become stepmothers if they go quietly."

Li hit her leg hard and said, "The worst thing is that there is another master who came to our house and wanted to take Jingjing as his concubine. He also said that he wanted to be a brother-in-law to Yanqi. Isn't this humiliating?"

Lin Yanyu was also very angry after hearing this. She frowned and clutched her clothes tightly, saying hatefully: "This is too much!"

Mother Lin came out of the main room carrying a large plate of various cakes.

She put the snack plate on the table, turned her head to look at her daughter's pink cheeks, and suggested, "Zhizhi, your cousin can't stay at home anymore. Do you want to take her away and let her go to your place to relax?"
