Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

When Wang Jingxuan said this, Xiao Yan's face turned dark instantly. It turned out that it was all a dream. He thought it was Lin Shu who stood in front of him yesterday. Not only that, Wang Jingxuan also heard it.

Seeing Xiao Yan stunned, Wang Jingxuan asked tentatively:

"Master Hou, who is Shu'er?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Get dressed and go to the ancestral hall to repent."

Xiao Yan dropped these words and walked away, leaving Wang Jingxuan alone.

"Hmph! Don't let me know that you have a lover outside. There are laws in Long Yuan Kingdom. A wife is not allowed to take a concubine before she has given birth to a legitimate son. If the wife is 30 years old and has not given birth to a legitimate son, she can only take a concubine. Otherwise, A man will be punished a hundred times, my good Lord, if you continue to treat me like this, don’t blame me for being cruel."

Mrs. Hou knew that Wang Jingxuan climbed into bed last night, which made Xiao Yan feel bad.

So he asked someone to follow his family's instructions and gave Wang Jingxuan twenty pieces of handwriting.

"I wanted to inspire your family, but it turned out that before getting married, I was all acting in front of me. How could your mother teach such a shameless daughter like you? Madam of the Marquis, how to do such a thing? You forgot that you recently copied Do you need to meditate on the scriptures?”

Wang Jingxuan knelt on the ground.

"Mother, you asked me to serve the Marquis."

"I asked you to clean up Yan'er and let him rest more comfortably. I didn't ask you to do that. From today on, you will live in the ancestral hall and don't come out at night. When you finish copying the scriptures, you can only come out after you know your mistakes. .”

Wang Jingxuan slumped on the ground helplessly. She never thought that her life after marrying into the Hou Mansion would be worse than that of some girls in the house.

Mrs. Hou sent people to monitor Wang Jingxuan day and night, and Wang Jingxuan had no time to investigate "Shu'er".

"Wait, old woman, if I find out that the Marquis has someone outside, I will go to the government to sue him immediately. Don't cry and beg me then."

Wang Jingxuan secretly planned in her heart that as long as she found "Shu'er" that Xiao Yan said she liked and got Xiao Yan's handle, even Xiao Yan would bow to her and the initiative would be in her own hands. Now, I can spend the money of the Hou family how I want, and I will not be angry with Mrs. Hou anymore.

After leaving, Xiao Yan carefully recalled what happened last night and found that he was the one who had the dream and was talking in his sleep.

He recalled what he had said in his sleep, holding his forehead and not daring to admit it.

He actually called Lin Shu "Shu'er" so affectionately, said that he missed her, apologized to Lin Shu, and even wanted to be intimate with Lin Shu.

Because the New Year's Eve was getting closer and closer, Xiao Yan quickly put aside what was thinking in his mind and focused on his career.

While waiting for the emperor to enter the palace before going to court in the morning, everyone smelled a very fragrant smell.

Everyone looked in the direction where the smell came from.

"Master Shi, what are you eating? Why does it smell so good? It's still steaming." The official who was close to Shi Jingke asked.

In October, the weather was close to November, and it was still very cold in the morning. Although other officials also brought food bags, they only contained some portable snacks. When they were hungry, they took out a pad to cushion their stomachs.

Unlike Shi Jingke, he brought a bowl-like silverware today, and the food inside was still fragrant.

Shi Jingke wiped his mouth and showed off happily.

"My niece Lin Shu gave this to me. It is specially used to hold hot meals. I will take it with me every morning so that I will not be hungry."

"Master Shi is so lucky. Unlike us, the most we have in our food bags are some melon and fruit snacks. It's cold in the morning and we don't feel full even after eating them. Some bachelors don't even have food bags."

Xiao Yan took a look at Shi Jingke's food box. He remembered that Lin Shu had done it for him in his previous life, but she was unsightly when eating and was ridiculed by her friends. Every time he ate on the road and threw the food box in the carriage. Let your colleagues see it.

Unexpectedly, Shi Jingke ate it in public, and it tasted delicious. Others were only envious.

Xiao Yan touched his food bag. Inside was the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Madam Hou had given him. He was not hungry at all.

Xiao Yan, like everyone else, swallowed after smelling the fragrance. After this period of time passed, he would focus on the heir. As long as Wang Jingxuan gave birth to a child, regardless of male or female, Xiao Yan would first go to the Shi Mansion to take care of him. Lin Shu decided that if Wang Jingxuan failed to give birth to a legitimate son, wouldn't Lin Shu have to marry someone else?

But Xiao Yan is not worried. He remembers that Wang Jingxuan gave birth to a fat boy before the end of next year after getting married in her last life, so he will go sowing seeds after the New Year.

Perhaps Xiao Yan was too confident, so he never thought that Lin Shu was already married.

After the morning court, other officials were envious of Shi Jingke's food box and ordered to stop Shi Jingke. They took a closer look at Shi Jingke's food box and the style. They thought about customizing one when they went home. They saw that the one Shi Jingke took was made of sterling silver. Many people backed down.

Shi Jingke's eyes rolled.

"This food box can also be made of iron. If you believe me, give me ten taels of silver each. I will go back and have someone make it for you and deliver it to you in a few days."

"That's very good, thank you Master Shi."

So many poorer officials reluctantly handed over ten taels of silver to Shi Jingke.

"Excuse me, Master Shi."

When everyone was almost gone, a silver ingot fell into Shi Jingke's arms.

Shi Jingke raised his head and looked at the person in front of him who threw the ingot, and quickly knelt on the ground.

"Master Hou, are you?"

"I also want it made of silver. I am young and have a bigger appetite. I will make a bigger one, and the rest will be yours."

Shi Jingke quickly nodded and thanked: "Thank you, Lord Marquis!"

Xiao Yan looked at Shi Jingke condescendingly. Even though he was married to Lin Shu in the previous life, he never paid attention to the sixth-grade Chaoyi Lang, let alone not being a relative in this life.

"The sooner the better, I hope to get it tomorrow."

Shi Jingke wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"When I get back, I will ask someone to make the Marquis's first. This one was designed by my niece Lin Shu. I will ask her to build a big and nice one for the Marquis first."

Hearing Lin Shu's name, Xiao Yan felt a wave of excitement in his heart, but on the surface he remained indifferent. Xiao Yan left without paying any further attention to Shi Jingke.

Seeing Xiao Yan go away, Shi Jingke stood up and let out a long sigh of relief.

At this time, Achang, an attendant of King Xian, appeared in front of Shi Jingke with a pile of gold.

Shi Jingke's legs went weak and he knelt down instantly.

"I have met King Xian."

King Xian put away his folding fan, leaned over slightly, and gave Shi Jingke a virtual support.

"Master Shi, please come up. This is the hundred taels of gold that I just borrowed from my mother's harem. The food box I want made of gold must be larger than Xiao Yan's. The rest will be regarded as the reward I give you. .”

Shi Jingke held the gold, his legs still shaking, thinking:

"How did I mess with these two giant Buddhas? Fortunately, they just wanted to make food boxes. But they are so rich and have the energy, can't they just give them orders? Do they still need to come to my place to order them?"
