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

The street was surprisingly lively, with all kinds of stalls crowded on both sides of the street, and the sounds of laughter, hawking, and lion dancing and drums intertwined.

Most of the people coming and going were men and women, families of three, and everyone had a smile on their face.

Infected by the joyful atmosphere, Lin Yanyu felt her mood also become cheerful. Even though she was being dragged around so rudely by Li Piren, she seemed reluctant to lose her temper, for fear of destroying the harmonious atmosphere at the moment.

Finally, Li Yanqi pulled her and stopped in front of a straw target full of candied haws.

Looking at the plump hawthorns, wrapped in amber, they reflect an attractive luster under the dim yellow light.

Lin Yanyu swallowed unconsciously.

"Boss, give me two strings of candied haws." Li Yanqi continued, "Pick out two of the biggest and reddest ones for me."

"Okay, I promise to pick two of the biggest and reddest ones for you."

……

Lin Yanyu was walking down the street holding a string of candied haws in her hand. She felt a little embarrassed and said in a low voice, "Thank you for treating me to candied haws."

"Hey, I've noticed that you're a little old-fashioned. It's like letting you take advantage of others is like asking for your life."

Li Yanqi tilted his head to look at her, sighed and said, "Back then, I was almost starving and you treated me to steamed buns. Now I'm treating you to candied haws as a way of repaying you, auntie, hurry up and eat."

Lin Yanyu's face turned red as if blood was about to drip out, and she secretly thanked her lucky stare because of the mask so Li Yanqi couldn't see her expression.

I slightly opened my lips and took a bite of the crystal clear sugar coating. The sweetness and sourness bloomed in my mouth. I couldn't help but take another bite of the candied haws and squinted my eyes with satisfaction.

She ate three in one breath and looked up to find Li Yanqi staring at her. His eyes were as dark and deep as a deep pool, like a carnivorous animal.

Lin Yanyu's heart tightened, her face turned red unconsciously, and she asked angrily, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Ahem, it's nothing."

Li Yanqi came back to his senses and cleared his throat to cover up, "I just wanted to ask you if it tastes good?"

"Why don't you take a bite and find out?"

Lin Yanyu looked at him suspiciously and said, "Could it be that Li Yanqi..."

"I didn't! Don't accuse me!"

Li Yanqi denied it immediately as if he was bitten by a black ant.

"What did I say, and you didn't?"

Lin Yanyu frowned slightly, and her pair of dark grape eyes looked at him suspiciously, which made him even more puzzled.

Li Yanqi blushed for a rare moment. He was always full of nonsense, but for a moment he stammered and couldn't make any clear words.

At this moment, Ma Xigui jumped out from the side of the street and greeted Lin Yanyu first, "Hello, Miss Lin."

Then he turned to look at Li Yanqi, "Brother, you made it so hard for me to find you."

"How did you recognize me?!"

Ma Xigui's expression was indescribable. "You have a high ponytail, and you are dressed in black. If you stand in the crowd with this figure, it would be hard not to see you. The most important thing is the dagger on your waist..."

Before Ma Xigui could finish, Li Yanqi kicked him on the butt, "If you have something to say, say it now. If you have to fart, fart now."

"Don't be angry, brother. This is a good thing."

Ma Xigui was delighted. "Master Wu said that you were awarded the first prize for arresting the bandits this time. County Magistrate Dong reported to the state government on the same day and recommended you as the county lieutenant. Now, big brother, your appointment documents have been issued. Hurry up and go to the county government to hand over the appointment documents."

"Congratulations, bro. Congratulations, bro."

The condition that Li Yanqi and County Magistrate Dong had for going to suppress the bandits was to let him enter the government office. Now that he heard that the document had come down so quickly, he couldn't help but smile and said, "This old man has finally done something practical."

"Go tell Master Wu that I'll be there soon."

After that, he turned to look at Lin Yanyu and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to meet your parents first."

Lin Yanyu held it in for a long time, but finally couldn't help asking Ma Xigui: "How do you know who I am?"

Ma Xigui looked like he was not a fool and said firmly, "I just know it must be you, Miss Lin. You don't understand now, but you will know why I said that in the future."

Li Yanqi sent Lin to the agreed place with a confused look on his face, but Lin's father and mother had not arrived yet.

Li Yanqi looked around at the endless stream of people, still worried: "Do you want me to accompany you and wait until your parents arrive?"

Lin Yanyu looked helpless and urged, "I'm not a child. Go take over the appointment documents first, so that Master Wu won't be anxious and annoyed."

"He dares? I'll pluck all the hair off his mouth." Seeing Lin Yanyu's disapproval, Li Yanqi could only say, "Okay, then I'll go get the paperwork first and come find you later."

Lin Yanyu looked at the ground, then raised her eyes to look at the pair of auspicious phoenix eyes under the ghost head.

"Li Yanqi, thank you. I am really happy today. But... please don't come to see me again in the future."

Seeing the pair of eyes that had turned up and lost their luster, he still steeled himself and said, "Tomorrow He Zhiyuan will come to my house to propose marriage. Regardless of my wishes or not, my parents like him very much, and I don't want to make them sad again, so I won't refuse."

After saying that, Lin Yanyu stared into Li Yanqi's eyes. She knew that Li Yanqi understood what she meant.

"Okay, I see."

Watching the thin black figure gradually disappear into the night, Lin Yanyu felt inexplicably melancholy and thought to herself, "I hope you can meet a good girl in the future who can make you happy and peaceful every day."

Lin Yanyu calmed herself down and, fearing that her parents wouldn't be able to find her, she took off half of the fox mask and looked around the crowd.

Suddenly, Lin Yanyu met the eyes of a big man who seemed to be looking for someone. She planned to turn her eyes away and continue waiting for her parents, but the big man walked towards her aggressively and slapped her without thinking.

"You slut, am I not good to you? You went out to the night market with your mistress behind my back. Are you doing me justice?"

The big man cursed angrily while pulling Lin Yanyu's arm towards the dark alley next to the stage.

Lin Yanyu's ears buzzed and her face was hit to one side. Her face felt burning with pain, as if she was bitten by countless ants, and her whole head was dizzy.

When he came to his senses, he had already been dragged to the alley entrance by the big man.

"Who are you? I don't know you."

Lin Yanyu cried in pain, and was terrified and confused. "Let me go! Help!"

A few sparse people away from the stage looked over here, hesitating whether to come over to ask.

The big man knocked Lin Yanyu unconscious with another heavy blow.

"You unfaithful woman, you're having an affair with a pretty boy behind my back. Just wait and see how I'll deal with you when I get home."

After saying that, the big man dragged the unconscious Lin Yanyu and disappeared at the alley entrance.

A moment later, Lin's father and mother appeared in front of the stage. By the end of the hour of Xu, there was still no sign of their eldest daughter. They knew that their eldest daughter had been sensible and obedient since she was young, and that something must have happened if she hadn't appeared for such a long time.

Lin's mother fell to the ground crying at that moment. Lin's father pretended to be calm and tried to comfort his wife. He asked his wife to go home first to see if their daughter had returned home, while he hurried to the county government office.
