Li Yanqi had a sullen face and walked in two steps from the corridor to the hanging flower gate.

Behind him was the servant who came to tell him the news, and the servant almost couldn't catch up with him even at a trot.

Li Yanqi was anxious and his steps became faster. When he saw the familiar figure, he leaped to her side.

He looked the girl in front of him up and down, and seeing that there was nothing wrong with her, except that her face was slightly pale and her expression was gentle and peaceful, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Li Yanqi reached out and tugged at her sleeves. "Where is your original dress? Why did it become apricot red?"

Lin Yanyu's eyes flashed, and she glanced at the servant behind him, and said slowly: "I just ate the noodles at the banquet and accidentally stained my clothes. I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach, so I want to go home and rest for a while."

Li Yanqi understood, took her hand, and said with a smile: "It's dirty, so let it be. When you have time, you can make a few new ones. We've almost finished eating and drinking."

He looked back at the servant and said, "My wife is not feeling well, so I will take her home first. When Lord Qian and Lord Cai ask about it, you can tell them. If they don't ask, there is no need to tell them specifically."

The servant nodded and agreed not to mention it.

At the corner gate of the government office, Li Yanqi held up Lin Yanyu's lotus pink satin shoes with his hands, escorted her to the carriage, and then got on the carriage himself.

When the guards started the carriage, he frowned and asked solemnly, "What's going on?"

He knew Lin Yanyu. With her personality, she would never let the servant go to the front yard to look for him for no reason.

In the enclosed space, there were people around me who were worried about me and looked at me with concern.

Lin Yanyu couldn't help feeling aggrieved, like a chick throwing itself back into the arms of its hen. She reached out and hugged the strong and thin waist and back tightly, resting her jade-white face on the broad chest, lying there blankly without saying a word.

Li Yanqi was stunned for a moment, then he was delighted. The old-fashioned girl who would blush when he teased her casually, actually threw herself into his arms for the first time? This was incredible.

He stretched out his hands to hold Lin Yanyu's slender waist, lowered his head to look at her fluttering eyelashes, and his voice couldn't help but soften.

"What happened? Are you being wronged?"

He thought that according to Lin Yanyu's personality, even if she was really wronged in the government office, she would have to swallow it for his sake, and he would have to send someone to investigate.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yanyu nodded slowly in his arms.

Li Yanqi: “!”

It’s terrible. It seems that this is a great injustice.

Li Yanqi suddenly felt angry. They had just arrived in the provincial capital and had no relatives or friends. He was busy with many things during the day and had no time to accompany Lin Yanyu.

The prefect's wife hosted a flower-viewing banquet. On the one hand, he thought Lin Yanyu was very elegant and liked these flowers. He bought some broken flowers in Yunlong Town and brought them to the patrol camp to show him.

There are also relatives of all sizes in the provincial government, all gathered here today. If Lin Yanyu can make some friends, she will have someone to talk to in the provincial government in the future.

He reached out and grasped Lin Yanyu's knees, pulled her to sit on his lap, and rubbed his nose against the girl's round and delicate nose.

"Don't keep it to yourself, talk to your husband."

Lin Yanyu was like a boneless fish. She rested her head on his shoulder and sighed softly.

"I just can't figure it out..."

Li Yanqi touched her shoulders and asked softly, "What's the problem?"

Lin Yanyu began to recall that from the moment she met Qian Caixia, there was nothing wrong with their words and deeds. Even if there were disagreements, they were just minor ones. Not to mention that her husband was a lieutenant general employed by the governor, so why would he torture her to death?

She told Li Yanqi what had just happened and asked him more questions after she finished.

"I have no grudges against her in the past or today, do you think it's that serious?"

Li Yanqi's hand that was stroking her back stopped moving and clenched into a fist. The tenderness on his face faded, replaced by brutality and coldness.

Lin Yanyu sensed something was wrong, looked up, and was frightened by his expression, her soft body froze.

Li Yanqi forced a smile at her with the corners of his lips, then held her tightly in his arms, preventing her from seeing his expression.

Lin Yanyu heard him ask: "Do you remember where those Shu brocades came from?"

"Remember, when you went to the state capital, you saved a woman who was about to be defiled. This is your reward for saving her."

She was a little confused. Why was Li Yanqi asking this now? Then her eyes widened and she raised her head in disbelief: "No way?"

"Is the person who was rescued the prefect's daughter, Jin Caixia?!"

Seeing Li Yanqi nod confidently, she became even more confused.

"So, I am the wife of her savior! Why does she treat me like this?"

Li Yanqi stared at her eyes that were as clear as spring water. In fact, he somewhat understood Qian Caixia's thoughts.

Just like him, the cute little girl Yuxue saved him.

But when he was young, he couldn't bear it countless times and wanted to repay kindness with evil and drag this cloud into the mud.

I want to be there on her way home, by the river where she washed clothes, in the abandoned charity cemetery where no one has ever been.

He also fantasized about kidnapping her, leaving Yunlong County, and going to a place where her parents and fiancé could not find her.

At first, she might cry and make a fuss, and he would allow her to beat and scold him, and would treat her very well. After she gave birth to his child, he would take her back to Yunlong County to reunite with his child's grandparents.

These crazy thoughts of his youth will be a locked secret and will never be known to Lin Yanyu.

"Could this be a mistake? Who would do this to their savior?"

Lin Yanyu opened her eyes wide, still unable to believe it.

Li Yanqi felt so sad and weak in his heart that he could not help but reach out and hold the girl's round head and hold her little mouth that was chattering and eager to verify.

After at least twenty breaths, Lin Yanyu fell limp in his arms and became silent.

Because of his reckless actions, a few strands of hair slid onto her cheek.

Li Yanqi put it behind his ear and said softly, "Don't worry, my wife's grievances will not be in vain. I will definitely help you vent your anger."

Lin Yanyu sighed and said, "Forget it. We are new here. Prefect Qian has been entrenched in the prefecture for many years. He is powerless. Miss Qian and I will not have the opportunity to meet in the future."

Li Yanqi felt a pain in his heart and felt a little depressed.

"It's all my fault this time. I was inconsiderate and made my wife suffer. My original intention was to teach you to enjoy life and make friends with women who can entertain you."

Lin Yanyu looked up at him and soothed him, "Okay, how can you be blamed for this? If anyone should be blamed, it should be the prefect's daughter who bullied others by taking advantage of her power."

Li Yanqi lowered his thick dark eyebrows, how could he not blame him?

If he was more powerful than Cai Zhang, would Madam Liu be so reckless?

If he was more powerful than Qian Sanwen, would Qian Caixia still dare to be so open about her beloved?

Blame him.

Seeing that he was silent with his eyebrows drooping, Lin Yanyu couldn't help but touch his head and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'm fine too, right?"

"So how did you finally get out of this predicament?"
