Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

Chapter 137 Learning about Su Yi’s death

Zifang sat silently in the hall, not wanting to talk to an impostor.

At night, the cook cooked a big dinner.

"August crab roe fat. Today, Zi Fang and Su Yi are back. I asked the waiter to buy big crabs. I will buy more crabs on the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let's have a drink and talk like we did the year we first met."

Everyone toasted to celebrate, while Lin Shu drank wine instead of tea.

Zifang had already hinted to Hao Yue that the 'Su Yi' in front of him was a fake.

Hao Yue understood this and planned to wait until Lin Shu fell asleep before revealing the fake Su Yi's identity, and then explain the truth to Lin Shu again.

Xiao Yan stared at the table of delicacies. Every other dish was moved, except the crabs.

"Husband, you like to eat crabs the most. This is the biggest crab for you." Lin Shu took the biggest crab and gave it to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan's face is not very good-looking, but he is wearing a human skin mask and others cannot notice it.

"Shu'er has worked hard, let's give it to Shu'er!"

Hao Yue noticed that the fake Su Yi didn't eat crabs, so Hao Yue took the lead in picking up a crab and put it in Lin Shu's bowl.

"There is another thing here. Crabs must be humble to each other. Sister Shu'er, eat what I pick for you."

"Su Yi, Sister Shu'er is happy that you are back. She will give you the biggest one. If you don't eat it, it will be a waste of Sister Shu'er's efforts."

Hao Yue stood beside the fire, while Xiao Yan was a little embarrassed. If he didn't eat, he would be suspected. If he ate, he would be worried about endangering his own safety.

After all, Pingyang Prefecture is not the capital, and there are no doctors on the mountain.

"Okay, crabs are hard to peel. I'll eat them later." Xiao Yan wanted to excuse him.

"Husband, let me peel it off for you."

When 'Su Yi' came back, Lin Shu was so filled with joy that she didn't notice anything was wrong with 'Su Yi'.

After peeling it off, Lin Shu placed it next to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan and Zifang toasted each other, ignoring Lin Shu's peeled crabs, and finally Xiao Yan pretended to be drunk and did not eat them.

Lin Shu frowned and felt something was wrong when she looked at the crabs that had not been eaten by "Su Yi" and the "Su Yi" who was drunk and unconscious not long after drinking.

Hao Yue noticed that Lin Shu was unhappy.

"Sister Shu'er, if you take care of the child at night, I will sleep with you at night, and 'Su Yi' will be taken care of by Zi Fang!"

Xiao Yan, who was drunk at this time, cursed in his heart:

"Hao Yue, are you ruining my good deeds again?"

Xiao Yan has not enjoyed Lin Shu's care for a long time, and he hopes that Lin Shu will not agree to Hao Yue.

Unexpectedly, Lin Shu nodded and left with complicated emotions.

After Lin Shu returned to the room, she hugged Amo and thought about it for a while. She suddenly realized that the moment 'Su Yi' came in, Hao Yue and the others looked wrong.

Hao Yue holds Xilin in her arms. She has also learned how to take care of children these days.

"Sister Hao, do you have anything to say to me this afternoon?"

Hao Yue looked up at Lin Shu and said guiltily:

"Sister Shu'er, did you find something wrong with this Su Yi?"

Lin Shu nodded.

"Sister Shu'er, put the child down first. You must calmly listen to what I say."

Lin Shu and Hao Yue put down their children and sat on the couch in front of the window.

"Sister Shu'er, no matter what I say, you must cheer up. After all, you have two children."

Thinking of Hao Yue's return and what happened today, Lin Shu seemed to have guessed something.

"Sister Hao, tell me, who is that person outside?"

Hao Yue guiltily told what she had experienced.

Lin Shu was extremely sad. Although she made no sound, tears continued to overflow from her eyes.

"Then who is that person today? Why does he look the same as my husband?"

"The art of disguise is spread in the world. I've always wanted to get it. That person disguised himself as Su Yi."

"As for who it is, Zi Fang will find out."

Lin Shu thought of the fake Su Yi who didn't eat crabs just now.

"Sister Hao, I know who he is!"

"Who is it?" Hao Yue asked.

Lin Shu sobbed quietly. She was worried about disturbing the children.

"It's Xiao Yan. He is allergic to crabs. Eating too much will be life-threatening, so he doesn't eat crabs."

Hao Yue suddenly realized.

"Sister Shu'er, it was me who caused Su Yi's trouble. I will always protect you and the children for the rest of my life."

Lin Shu waved her hand:

"Sister Hao, don't say anything and leave me alone."

Lin Shu bit her handkerchief, tears still streaming down her face.

"Sister Shu'er, I'm sorry, I..."

Seeing Lin Shu like this, Hao Yue felt even more sorry.

"Sister Hao, please go back to your room! I will take care of the child myself."

Hao Yue knew in his heart that Lin Shu was feeling uncomfortable now and didn't want to see her.

"Sister Shu'er, I'm right next door to you. If you need anything, call me anytime."

Lin Shu closed her eyes and didn't respond.

Seeing this, Hao Yue could only leave first. Lin Shu was looking better now than she had imagined.

After Hao Yue left, Lin Shu kept wiping her tears. Not only that, Lin Shu took off the clothes she had just worn when she hugged Xiao Yan and cut them into pieces.

While Lin Shu was cutting, she said in her heart:

"Husband, I'm sorry, I mistook Xiao Yan for you."

Maybe the tears have dried up, or maybe the grief is so extreme that it is silent.

Lin Shu stared blankly at Amo and Xilin under the moonlight, unable to tell what she was thinking.

Early the next morning, after Lin Shu washed her face, she applied some makeup to cover up the haggardness under her eyes.

"Sister Shu'er, get up."

Lin Shu ignored Hao Yue, while Amo and Xilin were still asleep.

Lin Shu crossed Hao Yue and went to the kitchen.

Hao Yue followed Lin Shu worriedly.

"Sister Shu'er, you go take care of the children. Whatever you want to eat, the cook and I will cook it for you."

"Sister Hao, get out of the way." Lin Shu's tone was a little cold.

Lin Shu did not involve Hao Yue in Su Yi's death, because Lin Shu knew that Su Yi valued friendship, and Su Yi would choose to save Hao Yue again.

It's just that Lin Shu complained that Hao Yue had deceived her for so long, which made her keep looking forward to it.

Seeing Lin Shu like this, Hao Yue could only stand aside silently.

Then Lin Shu picked up the leftover crab from last night, skillfully removed the shell and took out the crab roe inside.

Lin Shu boiled millet and crab roe together to make porridge.

Hao Yue felt guilty, so she endured Lin Shu's unhappiness and helped Lin Shu light the fire.

After the porridge was cooked, Lin Shu took a few deep breaths, and then a smile appeared on her face.

"Sister Hao, go ask Su Yi and Zifang to eat!"

"Sister Shu'er, he's not..." Hao Yue tried to wake up Lin Shu. She was worried that Lin Shu would use Xiao Yan's disguise as a substitute.

After a while, Xiao Yan and Zifang came to the hall.

Lin Shu had a smile on her face, but she didn't look haggard after last night.

Lin Shu filled a bowl of porridge. She picked up the spoon and fed it to Xiao Yan's mouth:

"Husband, I drank too much last night. Let me drink some millet porridge to warm my stomach."
