Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

Two days passed quickly, and it was time to return home on the third day.

Su Yi got up early that morning. Instead of reading, he went to the racecourse to bring back Lin Shu's dowry horse.

After Lin Shu got married, she wanted to reduce her expenses. She did not need slaves and had to do everything herself. Mrs. Shi gave a horse and a carriage as a dowry. Because there was not enough manpower, she gave a hundred pence a month to the horse farm to help. Hey, if you want to use it, you have to go to the carriage and bring it back in advance.

Su Yi got up early in the morning to go to the racecourse to ride the horse back, while Lin Shu and Mother Lin were at home preparing things for home.

There was a sound of horse hooves outside the Lin Mansion.

"Yuanyuan, go see if your brother is back."

Su Yuanyuan, who was helping to clean the box, heard Lin Shu calling her and immediately put down the handkerchief in her hand.

"Sister-in-law, I'll go right away."

So Su Yuanyuan held up her skirt and walked towards the door with her short legs.

"Kid, run slowly, be careful not to fall." Mother Lin reminded worriedly.

Su Yuanyuan continued to run towards the door.

"Mother Lin, nothing will happen to me."

"Why is this child so careless?" Mother Lin said with a smile on her face, not blaming her at all.

As soon as Su Yuanyuan arrived at the gate, she happened to see Su Yi getting off the carriage.

"Brother, it's brother, sister-in-law, brother is back."

Su Yi walked up the steps, picked up Su Yuanyuan and walked inside.

"Yuanyuan, did you listen to your sister-in-law and Mother Lin this morning?"

"Brother, I was very good this morning! Look, that's the box I helped my sister-in-law clean. My sister-in-law said she would use it to hold snacks later." Su Yuanyuan pointed to the box she had just wiped with her little finger.

"Really? Could it be that Mother Lin wiped it, and then you took advantage of it and said you wiped it yourself?"

"Put me down." Su Yuanyuan struggled to get out of Su Yi's arms and walked to the box.

"Humph!" Su Yuanyuan picked up the handkerchief angrily.

"Brother, look, this is how Yuanyuan helps her sister-in-law work." Su Yuanyuan said while continuing to wipe.

"Husband, Yuanyuan is very obedient. She has been taking the initiative to help me and Mother Lin with work these past two days. Please stop teasing her, or you may make her anxious."

"Yes! Yuanyuan is better behaved than most girls, and she makes me laugh when she works." Mother Lin also helped to explain.

Seeing that Lin Shu and Mother Lin were kind to Su Yuanyuan, Su Yi felt relieved. He had been studying by himself for the past two days, fearing that his sister would cause trouble for Lin Shu.

"I'm afraid Yuanyuan will be naughty and cause trouble for you. Mother Lin, you and Shu'er shouldn't spoil her too much. I'm afraid you'll spoil her."

"What are you talking about? Girls should be pampered. My uncle and his wife dote on my young lady and my cousin. Look, my young lady is so nice. She takes care of everything for you. I spent several hours making the snacks for homecoming yesterday."

Mother Lin's words were not only praising Lin Shu, but also reminding Su Yi not to forget Lin Shu's goodness.

Su Yi took Lin Shu in his arms and hugged Lin Shu tightly regardless of the presence of Lin's mother and Su Yuanyuan.

"Mrs. hard work."

Lin Shu's face turned red.

"Husband, let go quickly, Mother Lin is still here!"

Mother Lin’s face was filled with an aunt’s smile.

"As long as the young lady and my uncle are in love, there are no outsiders here anyway. My uncle, please drink some porridge first. We have already eaten. We will set off after you finish your drink."

By the time Su Yi finished eating the porridge, Lin's mother and Lin Shu had already put all the gifts on the carriage, and they were ready to set off after Su Yi had hitched up the carriage and horse.

Su Yi neatly hitched the horse to the carriage. After Lin Shu, Lin's mother and Su Yuanyuan got into the carriage, Su Yi drove alone in front.

"Miss, I didn't expect our uncle to ride a horse and drive a carriage."

"My husband told me that his family used to be well off, but when he went out to study, his family suffered a disaster and was robbed by bandits. Both his father-in-law and mother-in-law died tragically at the hands of the bandits, except for Yuanyuan, who was still an infant at the time. "

After Lin Shu finished speaking, she glanced at Su Yuanyuan. Su Yi was a grown man, and it was not easy for him to bring up Su Yuanyuan by himself.

"It seems that my uncle has suffered no less than my young lady!"

"So, Mother Lin, we must live a down-to-earth life in the future. Life will eventually get better and better, and those bad things are behind us."

Mother Lin nodded in affirmation.

Su Yuanyuan, because of her young age, soon had her eyelids twitching and fell asleep on Lin Shu's lap.

When they arrived at Shi Mansion, Mrs. Shi had already sent someone waiting at the door.

"My cousin is back."

Mother Xia shouted happily into the room.

Shi Jingke, Mrs. Shi and others stood up quickly and walked towards the door. Sure enough, they saw Su Yi driving a carriage. Lin Shu and Mother Lin raised the curtains and waved to the Shi family.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Mother Lin woke up Su Yuanyuan.

Su Yi quickly took off the bench from the carriage and helped Lin Shu down.

Everyone in the Shi family was very happy to see Su Yi being so considerate to Lin Shu.

"My son-in-law (Shu'er) has met his uncle and aunt."

"Good boy, get up quickly." Shi Jingke and Mrs. Shi each supported one and walked towards the house.

Shi Ying also held Lin Shu's hand enthusiastically.

"Cousin, Ying'er missed you so much when you were away! My father and mother were always mean to me."

"Shu'er, don't listen to her nonsense. Your uncle arranged a blind date for her, and the young master's face was swollen. He was injured and talked about everywhere. No one behind her dared to look at her. Shu'er, you Look, how will Ying'er be able to get married in the future?"

Mrs. Shi looked at Shi Ying and felt a headache. Then she looked at Lin Shu and her headache was gone instantly.

"Ying'er, please go back to your room. Your mother and I have something to say to your cousin and cousin-in-law. You should step away first." Seeing that his wife's expression was wrong, Shi Jingke knew that the incident caused by Shi Ying's blind date had angered Mrs. Shi, so she asked Shi Ying goes back first.

"What about brother and sister-in-law? Is Ying'er the only one avoiding them?"

Mrs. Shi flicked Shi Ying's forehead with her finger.

"Ah!" Shi Ying yelled, covering her head.

"You are the only one here who is not married. There are some words you cannot listen to. Go back to the room first." Mrs. Shi said to Shi Ying in a tone that did not allow for criticism.

"Why?" Shi Ying looked at Mrs. Shi with wide eyes.

"Just because you are single, you can't get married!"

"I……"

Lin Shu walked up to Shi Ying and comforted her:

"Ying'er, since uncle and aunt said you can't listen, then you go in first, and I'll go over to play with you after I finish here. I also made the pastries you like and brought them over. They're in the car and I'll let Lin know later. Mom will send it to you."

Hearing Lin Shu's comforting voice, Shi Ying immediately smiled sweetly.

"My cousin loves me the most. Unlike my parents, they only force me to go on a blind date and force me to get married."

Shi Jingke looked around and couldn't find anything he could take advantage of.

"Do you deserve a beating today?"
