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

Li's eyes lit up and she looked at Lin Yanyu with hope.

"Of course, I can, but Li Yanqi is escorting the caravan to Qingshan County. I'm staying here for the next two days. I need to tell him when he comes back."

Under the gazes of the three women, Lin Yanyu picked up a lotus seed paste cake from the plate, took a small bite and continued, "Besides, there is only one maid who comes to the Li residence to do housework on weekdays. It would be a bit inconvenient for Sister Jing to live with us. I have an idea here. Do you think it's okay, aunt?"

Li heard that Lin Yanyu seemed to be trying to decline, and she felt unhappy. She said expressionlessly, "You go ahead."

"The barracks for the patrol camp will be completed in a few days. The Internal Affairs Department will provide food and lodging, and the staff will be paid. They are mostly elderly, weak, women and children from other counties, so there won't be any acquaintances to gossip about them. Aunt, go back and ask Sister Jing if she's willing to come?"

Mrs. Li was a little unhappy at first, feeling that her niece was taking advantage of the situation by getting married, but then she thought, she knew her niece's character well and knew she was not a stingy person. It might be really inconvenient not to let her daughter live in the Li residence.

She smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll thank you on behalf of your sister Jing. I'll ask her when I get back."

Around noon, Aunt Pang and Mrs. Li left.

Mother Lin sent them to the door and returned to the yard. She frowned and looked at her daughter, a little puzzled: "Zhizhi, mother knows that you are not that kind of petty girl. Why didn't you agree with your cousin to go to the Li residence to hide from the limelight? Didn't you see the expression on your eldest aunt's face just now?"

"Mom, the Li Residence does have enough rooms. If you and Dad, or my uncle and aunt, or even my cousin, want to live in the Li Residence, it doesn't matter if you live there for the rest of your lives, but..."

Lin Yanyu frowned, and her watery eyes looked up at Lin's mother.

"Lin Jing is not only my cousin, she is also a young girl, and Li Yanqi is my husband. Do you understand what I mean, mother?"

She didn't say it very clearly, but she knew her mother understood what she meant.

Mother Lin was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief: "Zhizhi, if you ask me, you are just too suspicious. How could this be possible?"

The yellow light of the setting sun shone on Lin Yanyu's slender back. She lowered her head slightly, so that Lin's mother could not see her expression clearly.

"Then mother, could you have imagined that my own sister would fall in love with her future brother-in-law? She was willing to destroy my innocence, ruin my marriage with He Zhiyuan, and even cut off all ties with us."

She couldn't tell Lin's mother that he was not her future brother-in-law, but her prospective brother-in-law.

She took pity on Lin Yanxia, ​​a new widow, and took her to her side to take care of her, but what did she get?

She took advantage of He Zhiyuan's drunkenness and climbed into bed with him, secretly got pregnant, and even bore a grudge against her, wanting to kill her and take her place.

Although Lin Jing is not Lin Yanxia, ​​Li Yanqi is not He Zhiyuan.

It's not that she doesn't trust these two people.

However, once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years. It was enough for her to experience this disgusting thing like swallowing a fly once.

Mother Lin felt a pain in her heart, and she let out a long sigh, "Your consideration is correct, and I was wrong. I won't mention it again in the future."

Lin Yanyu curled the corners of her lips: "Thank you for your understanding, mother."

Mother Lin pulled a bamboo stool over and sat next to her daughter. She held her daughter's hand and said, "There are things I've wanted to tell you for a long time, but I never had the chance."

Seeing her serious look, Lin Yanyu sat up straight with some nervousness: "Mom, go ahead and talk. I'm listening."

"Everyone is talking about the patrol camp run by Yan Qi now. They say he is more capable than the county magistrate. Your father is invited to banquets every few days. He has turned down all the banquets he could. But he couldn't refuse today because those people hosted a banquet for the entire Qingfeng Academy. The dean of the academy came to invite your father personally, so he had to go."

Mother Lin sighed, patted her daughter's hand, and said seriously, "So, what mother means is that your father has to attend banquets, what about Yan Qi? Even if he doesn't want to attract bees and butterflies, those bees and butterflies will do everything they can to throw themselves at him. Zhizhi, listen to mother's advice, keep a close eye on your man and don't let him stay out all night."

Lin Yanyu wondered what her mother wanted to say to her?

She laughed and said, "Mom, if Li Yanqi wants to cheat, I can tie him to my belt and he won't behave. If he doesn't have that intention, no one can force him. Can a girl force him to do something with his skills and physique?"

Mother Lin tapped the tip of Lin Yanyu's upturned nose, hoping that her daughter would listen to her.

"Remember, boys are different from girls. Boys can't stand the temptation of beautiful women. If Yanqi was an ugly mediocre man, mother wouldn't tell you this. Zhizhi, you have to know that even ugly mediocre people don't have the intention, but no one tempts them."

Lin Yanyu immediately thought of He Zhiyuan. He was indeed cold-hearted towards those people in the backyard. He would not even blink an eye when it came to fighting and killing, but this did not prevent him from having children with them one after another.

"Mom, you're right. But..."

Lin Yanyu lowered her head and smiled, then raised her head and looked at Lin's mother with her dark eyes, and said firmly: "I believe in Li Yanqi. Since I am married to him, I will no longer doubt him, and I don't want to waste my energy on this kind of suspicion. There is only one me in the world, and I want to live my life well."

She smiled generously: "If he really did something to let me down... If you are heartless, I will give up and divorce him."

Lin's mother looked at her daughter in shock. She felt that her daughter was wrong to say that she wanted a divorce, but she also felt that what her daughter said seemed to be right. She was confused for a moment.

Lin Yanyu remembered what Ma Xigui said, that Li Yanqi would come to pick her up when he arrived in Yunlong Town.

The eleventh day of the first lunar month.

As night fell, a silver plate and a few stars hung high in the sky, covering the Lin family's courtyard with a layer of silver gauze. It was quiet all around, with only the occasional chirping of insects.

Mother Lin came out in the middle of the night, wrapped in clothes and holding an oil lamp.

Inadvertently, he saw the dim yellow light coming from his daughter's room and was a little annoyed: "Zhizhi, why are you still not asleep? What time is it now?"

Lin Yanyu said in a panic, "I know, Mom. I'll go to sleep now."

The yellow glow in the room dimmed, replaced by darkness.

Lin Yanyu was sitting on the edge of the bed, dressed neatly, with the quilt still on the bed.

She nervously picked at the bed sheet, afraid that her mother would come in and find out, and she would be unable to explain.

Could it be that she was going to say that she had a premonition that Li Yanqi would come to pick her up tonight?

"Young people nowadays just don't take care of their bodies. It's no use without an elder to encourage them..."

Mother Lin held an oil lamp and walked towards the bedroom, shaking her head.

"Da da da!"

Lin's mother stood there, confused and surprised, thinking it was her own illusion.

But the sound became clearer and clearer as it got closer.

"Eh-!"

The neighing of a horse echoed throughout the Lin family courtyard.

There was the rustling of clothes and then there was a knock on the wooden door.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law!"
