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

Dong Yue'e appeared inexplicably and left inexplicably.

Although Lin Yanyu didn't know her intention, she was not affected by her. She sat with Jin Niangzi in Jinxiu Pavilion for a while before getting up and leaving.

When I got home, the sun was setting.

The whole yard is full of flourishing plants and trees. Clothes boxes and baskets are hung out to dry in the corridor, giving off the unique scent of osmanthus balls.

Lin Yanyu took the winter clothes back to the side room and put them away, adding some mothballs to prevent insects. She then found the light spring clothes and put them in the box in the bedroom.

She ran back and forth several times, and by the time everything was put together, she was already sweating profusely. She fetched a basin of clean water from the half-person-high water tank in the kitchen and washed her face with a towel.

Finally she had some free time, and there was still some time before Mrs. Liu came to serve dinner. While it was still light, she went to the treasure shelf to get a copy of "Shui Jing Zhu" and sat on the swing in the yard.

The mottled shadows of the trees change their positions with the sun's shadow on the ground, but the girl in the moon-white skirt remains unchanged.

The breeze blew gently, loosening a few strands of the girl's hair, which fell on her snow-white cheeks. Her skirt fluttered in the direction of her hair and fell on the wooden swing.

The afterglow of the setting sun added a final touch of color to the horizon, and the light spread down, coating everything with a layer of sacred golden pink. The girl was also enveloped, and the fine hair on her cheeks refracted the golden pink light.

Everything is so quiet and beautiful.

Suddenly, there was a noise at the door.

The girl, immersed in her own world, looked up.

Li Yanqi strode into the courtyard, his gloomy eyes casually passing through the courtyard, and was about to go to the inner room.

Sensing something, he turned his head suddenly and met the eyes of the girl in white under the tree. The ice in his eyes melted away, and he raised his thin red lips: "I thought you were in the bedroom."

He turned around and strode towards the girl.

Lin Yanyu grabbed one side of the swing rope, looked up at him with puzzled eyes, and asked curiously: "Why did you come back so early today? Didn't you say you would finish the training early and go to the government office for official business?"

Li Yanqi was originally furious, but he felt better when he saw the girl. He lowered his head to read the book in her hand and replied, "Don't mention it. I thought there really was some thief or robber who needed me to arrest and try him. Guess what happened?"

Lin Yanyu opened her grape-like eyes and looked up at him, "What's the matter?"

"Damn it, old thief Dong, all the thousand taels of silver that the county's wealthy merchants raised for the militia were secretly embezzled by Dong Beicheng. Not only did he not recruit any capable fighters to support the group, he also fed the militia soldiers with hard-to-eat bread. How can they fight against the bandits with this kind of money?"

"Boss Liu's goods were all robbed by the bandits in Qingdang Mountain, and all his companions were killed. How do you think he can swallow this? Now, the wealthy businessmen from the company are making trouble in the government office."

Lin Yanyu was so shocked that the book in her hand fell to the ground without her noticing.

She had kept it a secret before because she was sure that Dong Beicheng would not last long. There were many good men in the patrol camp, but even when County Magistrate Dong went to the provincial capital, he needed Li Yanqi to escort him, which meant that they did not have many talented people.

But she really didn't expect Dong Beicheng to be so bold!

Lin Yanyu hesitated for a moment and asked, "What does Magistrate Dong mean by calling you over?"

Li Yanqi leaned over to pick up the book and put it on the swing. "What else could it mean? He wants me to help him deal with it."

He then sneered, "Who is he to me? I helped him settle it. Boss Liu lost so much money, and there is also the money raised by those wealthy businessmen. The families of the victims are also making a fuss over there now."

"In fact, it's easy to settle this matter. Just pay the money and it's over. But I don't want to pay the money, but I want to settle the matter. How can there be such a good thing in the world?"

"That's true..." Lin Yanyu nodded, agreeing very much. Suddenly she thought of something and asked, "By the way, are there any soldiers who left and want to come back at the gate of the patrol camp today?"

Li Yanqi stretched out his fingers, pinched her soft cheeks, and said with a smile: "Smart, but I ordered them all to get out. What do you think my patrol camp is? An inn? Come as you please, leave as you please."

Lin Yanyu pushed away his teasing hand and said seriously: "This incident has given me a revelation. In the future, if anyone comes to the Patrol Camp again, a threshold must be set."

"What threshold?"

"The probation period is one month. One month will give you a rough idea of ​​your character and behavior. Only if you pass the probation will you be officially admitted into the patrol camp. If you fail the probation, your monthly salary will be paid normally and you will be repatriated."

Li Yanqi's eyes sparkled, and he praised, "That's great! I'll go to the patrol camp to find Zhuang Xingbai later!"

He lowered his head to look at the girl's two rows of fluttering eyelashes. His heart was itching. He bent over to hug her, but suddenly he remembered something and his arms froze in mid-air.

Lin Yanyu noticed that his expression and movements were different, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so weird?"

Li Yanqi lowered his eyebrows, his eyes flashing with annoyance, and said unhappily: "I suddenly remembered that my clothes are dirty, and I came home just to change clothes."

Lin Yanyu took a quick look and saw that his suit with black and gold dark cloud patterns had a dark stain that was different from the ones next to it, which spread from his broad chest to his thin waist.

Some inappropriate images flashed through her mind, her cheeks suddenly turned red, her eyes glanced away, and she asked, "What happened? He was fine when he went out."

Li Yanqi got angry when he talked about this. "Old Dong was so angry that he was bedridden. I went to the backyard of the county government office to meet him. He kept nagging me, but I was too lazy to listen. I turned around and was about to leave. What the hell! Are the servants in the county government office blind? I'm so big that I couldn't see him. If I hadn't dodged quickly, that guy would have crushed me to death."

Lin Yanyu's eyes flickered, and she asked tentatively, "Is that person a girl in pink? She looks about sixteen or seventeen years old, and her name is Dong Yue'e."

"How would I know? She fell flat on her face and splashed all over me. If I wasn't in a hurry to leave, I wouldn't have asked her to pay fifty taels for the clothes! I would have blackmailed her to the point of bankruptcy!"

After saying this, Li Yanqi looked regretful, as if he felt that he had suffered a loss.

Lin Yanyu was speechless: "..."

She remembered that Li Yanqi's dress only cost ten taels of silver.

Speaking of clothes, she remembered something and thought it would be better to talk about it now.

"...I'll throw away your torn black robe."

Li Yanqi's face was immediately in pain. He looked around and asked anxiously, "Where did you throw it? That was my favorite dress. I picked it up. It only had a few holes in it, but it was still wearable."

Lin Yanyu: “…”

She rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "The cuffs are all worn out, how can you still wear it? If you wear it outside, people won't dare to laugh at you, but I don't know what they will say about me behind my back!"

"They dare?!"

Lin Yanyu was completely speechless.

"Someone spilled some water on your clothes, and the stain disappeared after washing. Why are you still extorting fifty taels of silver from him?"

Li Yanqi stiffened his neck, raised his eyebrows, tugged at his clothes, and stressed righteously: "How can they be the same?! This, this is my favorite dress! Fifty taels is not enough."

Lin Yanyu was speechless: "...You have so many favorite clothes."

She thought to herself: I should ask Dong Yue'e to come and see how Li Yanqi is dying. I'm sure she'll give up the idea and give up...
