I became the villain's deceased wife

"What are you busy with, ma'am?"

When I got home, Xie Yunzhe was clearing the table.

Every time, Song Tian prepared lunch in the morning and asked Liu and Haoer to heat it up and eat it at noon.

I didn't expect him to come back today, and I don't know if there will be enough food.

Seeing that Xie Yunzhe had a very gloomy face and a bad tone, Liu thought something had happened and looked over.

Song Tian smiled with a guilty conscience:

"I told my mother before that I rented a yard at the north end of town and planted some peppers."

Liu suddenly realized:

"Oh, you went there, did you eat?"

Just when he was about to give way to Song Tian, ​​he remembered that Xie Yunzhe suddenly came back at noon, and the lunch Song Tian left for him was not enough, but now there was nothing left.

"I've already eaten outside, don't worry."

As she spoke, she took the bowl from Xie Yunzhe's hand:

"Husband, just let me wash it."

This guy is not easy to fool, so he must have some doubts about this statement.

As expected, Xie Yunzhe followed her all the way to the kitchen, his face becoming more gloomy instead of less:

"My wife said she was going to cook vegetables, but there is not a single stain of mud or water on you, and the soles of your shoes are clean!"

Song Tian's back stiffened.

See, the villain is so sharp!

She put all the bowls and chopsticks in the pot, added water to soak them, and then lit a fire under the stove.

There was no detergent in ancient times, so the only way to remove grease was to use hot water.

"I do have something I'm hiding from mother!"

She pulled Xie Yunzhe's sleeve and whispered in his ear.

Xie Yunzhe's expression changed from gloomy to curious.

"I actually went to cook for someone else's family, right next to the yard they rented to grow peppers..."

Song Tian told the whole story of how he met Lin Si and how he was taken away by his guards to cook, and even defended himself at the end.

"His guards were carrying swords, and they looked like they were highly skilled martial artists. He threatened me not to tell anyone, or he would kill me to silence me."

It's not like she was hiding it on purpose.

"I told you this because I was afraid that my husband might think too much. You must not tell anyone, or you might end up getting yourself killed!"

Song Tian sighed in his heart.

On one side is a guard with great martial arts skills, and on the other side is a gloomy villain. She can't afford to offend either side, and it's really difficult to be caught in the middle...

Xie Yunzhe frowned.

"You said the owner of that family is a young man named Lin Si?"

Song Tian nodded:

"Yes, I don't know what disease he has. To be able to use such a master as a bodyguard, I think he must be from a very important family. If his family is not powerful, then it must be a wealthy business."

Xie Yunzhe's focus is not on this:

"What does he...look like?"

One Zhou Zijian is not enough, now here comes Lin Si!

His wife is really good at attracting many people.

Song Tian was stunned. Is he... jealous?

But it is understandable that men in ancient times were all patriarchal. Although she was only a wife in name, it did not mean that Xie Yunzhe could tolerate her having any involvement with other men.

So she thought carefully about how to answer this question:

"I didn't pay much attention to him. He was almost dying of illness and was as thin as a skeleton..."

Xie Yunzhe was relieved.

Lin Si, who was caught in the crossfire for no reason: …

"Where is he from, and why did he come here to recuperate?"

Song Tian shook her head:

"Neither the master nor the servant wanted to say anything. I thought it might be related to the private affairs of those wealthy families. Otherwise, why would they cover it up?"

"Then are you in danger?"

Xie Yunzhe became nervous.

After all, he has lived in the capital for more than ten years. He is no stranger to the secret affairs of those wealthy families, and he knows how serious they are.

Song Tian's eyes lit up:

“I just went there to cook and I didn’t know their background.

And you know what? As long as I cook one meal a day, they will pay me one hundred taels of silver a month!

This is much more cost-effective than setting up a stall!"

Even if it was just for the money, she was willing to take some risks.

Xie Yunzhe saw that she was obsessed with money when she talked about it, and it seemed that she really had no other thoughts, so he was completely relieved.

"It's better to be careful. If anything happens, remember to tell me as soon as possible."

As he said this he stroked his chin again.

Your last name is Lin?

That's the country's surname...

"By the way, why did you come back so early today?"

Seeing that Xie Yunzhe didn't ask any more questions, Song Tian also became curious about his abnormality.

"Oh, there's not much work to do today. I came back after I finished my work and had nothing else to do."

He explained casually and stood up to wash the dishes.

Song Tian ignored the gloom that flashed across his face and smiled:

"It's good to take a break. You can read more books."

Ever since he came back from the county town last time, Song Tian felt that he was worried.

He would frown before going to work every day, as if he was worried about something, but he wouldn't say when asked.

Song Tian didn't know what had happened to him, and felt that even if she knew, she probably wouldn't be able to help, so she didn't ask any more questions.

He only borrowed Aunt Wen's son's book and brought it back for Xie Yunzhe to read to relieve his boredom.

Later I found out that Xie Yunzhe also brought back some books and read them carefully when he had time.

"I borrowed this from someone else, but I didn't waste my wife's money!"

Seeing Song Tian staring at him, Xie Yunzhe explained unnaturally.

The books Song Tian gave him were too simple. He thought that if he could really take part in the imperial examinations in the future, he would have to read more.

So he used his own pocket money to rent a few books from a bookstore in the county town.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Song Tian stuffed twenty taels of silver into his pocket:

"It's a good thing that you want to study. Use this money to buy some useful things, and add some pens, ink, paper and inkstone. If it's not enough, come back to me!"

Xie Yunzhe was going to take the imperial examination and become the top scholar. She didn't want to be a stumbling block on his road to success. If she did, she would be hated by the big boss and die miserably.

……

I thought these disturbances would just pass.

But two days later, when Song Tian went to the stall as usual, he encountered a troublesome situation.

“When did you set up the stall here?

Why didn't you report it to the city supervision department? "

A tall and strong young man came to Song Tian's stall. He had broad shoulders, a round waist and a face full of flesh. He claimed to be the mayor of Fenglin County and his name was Niu Er.

"Brother Niu, I am a country girl and I don't know the rules. Could you please be flexible and show me the way?"

Seeing that the visitor had bad intentions, Song Tian quickly took out a tael of silver and stuffed it into the man's hand, smiling apologetically and saying:

"A little money is not enough to show respect, please have some tea, big brother."

Unexpectedly, Niu Er didn't buy her trick at all and threw the silver directly on her cold noodles.

"You are so tired of bribing the yamen runners in broad daylight!

He put one foot on Song Tian's chopping board and picked up the kitchen knife on her stall with his right hand.

"Hey, Brother Niu!"

Song Tian quickly called out.

She sells food. How can she sell goods if her stall is dirty?

"I don't care when you set up the stall. According to the county's regulations, anyone who sells anything must report to the government office to get a certificate. Otherwise, you will be punished for violating the law!"

Niu Er had already kicked over her stall and threw the kitchen knife at her feet.

Wang Tieshan, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch any longer and mustered up the courage to stand up:

"But sir, we have never had a dental certificate, how can you ..."

Niu Er's eyes widened and he threatened:

"You keep talking nonsense, do you want me to overthrow you?"

Wang Tieshan didn't dare to speak.

Song Tian looked at the mess and finally realized that this person was deliberately trying to make trouble for her.
