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

"Yanyu is unlucky. I hope Mr. He can find a good wife and live in harmony with her in the future." Lin Yanyu slightly bent her knees and gave a sincere blessing.

He Zhiyuan's face turned pale instantly. She couldn't believe that two months ago she was still blushing and wishing him success.

Lin Yanxia, ​​who had been watching He Zhiyuan and Lin Yanyu from the side, suddenly knelt down in front of Lin Xiucai, her face flushed, and she said shyly: "The Yin family harmed my sister, I will never have anything to do with them again. They also ruined the beautiful marriage between Brother He and my sister, and made the two families hostile. Now my sister doesn't want to get married, I..."

As she spoke, she raised her eyes and glanced at He Zhiyuan secretly, with a look of affection.

"I am willing to marry Brother He in place of my sister to save the reputation of both families."

"absurd!"

"Lin Yanxia! What are you doing in Huqin? Don't you think your parents haven't lost face enough?! Go back to your room."

Mr. Lin and his mother shouted at the same time, their faces flushed with anger.

"Dad and Mom, why are you scolding me? It's been like this since I was a child! You only know how to favor my sister. My sister doesn't want to be a concubine, but I do. Aunt He thinks my sister's reputation has been damaged. Because of the Yin family, Aunt He has no daughter-in-law, so she gave the Yin family's daughter-in-law to Aunt He. My sister doesn't want to be a concubine, but I do. I can also continue the friendship between the He and Lin families. What have I done wrong?!"

"Bang!" Lin Yanxia's face turned to the side.

"I think you're crazy."

Lin's mother showed no mercy in her attack. She was used to doing the work, and Lin Yanxia's face became swollen in a moment.

"You just like your sister!"

After saying that, Lin Yanxia covered her face and ran out of the hall crying.

Although Lin's mother hated her for being shameless and having the terrible idea of ​​marrying off sisters, she was still the daughter she had carried for ten months and was afraid that something might happen to her if she ran away, so she chased after her.

He's father and mother never expected to see such a scene and were a little confused for a moment. He's mother wanted to make a sarcastic remark but was afraid that her son would get angry.

Father He said awkwardly, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to deal with at home, so we won't bother you anymore."

He left the Lin family, dragging his son, who was like a walking corpse.

In just a moment, the group of people left and only Lin Yanyu and Lin Xiucai, who was coughing and gasping for breath, were left.

"Dad, I'll go make you a pot of hot tea."

As soon as Lin Yanyu walked out of the room, she saw He Zhiyuan, who had returned, standing under the persimmon tree in the yard, looking at her sadly.

"Yanyu, can you please lend me a hand to talk?"

Lin Yanyu sighed helplessly in her heart, and did not step forward, but said: "I have just said what I wanted to say. It is getting late. If you have nothing else, you should go home as soon as possible."

"Sister Yanyu, are you really so heartless? After all these years of friendship, now you don't even want to come near and talk to me?"

"You and I have now broken off our engagement. There is a strict rule between men and women, so we dare not cross the line."

He Zhiyuan staggered back two steps and said sadly: "I just want to tell you that I will go to Chongzhou Prefecture to study tomorrow."

"Then congratulations, and I wish you all the best and a bright future."

Lin Yanyu bent her knees slightly and bowed to him sincerely.

He Zhiyuan's expression eased a little. "I originally planned to propose marriage today, go to the prefectural academy tomorrow, and after I have taken care of trivial matters such as admission to the prefectural academy, I will come back to arrange our marriage."

After a pause, he asked again, "...Yanyu, can't you really give me another chance? I will handle everything and will never let you suffer any injustice. I really like you."

Lin Yanyu shook her head slowly, said "wait a moment," and went into the bedroom.

When he came out, he walked to the persimmon tree, handed him the things in his hand, and said, "Yanyu, I am really unworthy of your kindness. I will return the jade hairpin to you. Don't think about the past. Forget it."

He Zhiyuan walked back home like a puppet whose soul had been sucked out, one step deep and one step shallow.

He's father and mother were in the main room grumbling over what had happened in the Lin family today. When they saw their son come back, He's mother was still annoyed with Lin Yanyu for embarrassing her just now.

She couldn't help but said angrily, "Yuan'er, no matter how much you love Lin Yanyu, you heard her scolding me today, right? You are my own son. If she doesn't kowtow to me and apologize, I will never allow her to enter my He family."

He's father also nodded in agreement: "That's right, if you're so disrespectful to your parents-in-law before you even get married, what will happen to you in the future?"

He Zhiyuan had been suppressing his anger for a whole day, but he couldn't help it anymore and growled, "How far do you want to go to harm me? I was just proposing marriage, why did it turn out like this? Have you forgotten all that Mr. Lin taught me without reservation? All you know is to brag outside that I won the first prize, that father and the county magistrate are brothers, and that you, mother, and the lady go sightseeing on the lake every day. What on earth are you doing?!"

He Zhiyuan became more and more annoyed as he spoke, "Don't you see that I study late into the night? I studied hard through the cold and heat, all the time, just to pass the exam quickly and marry Yanyu. I finally passed, but because of you, all my efforts were in vain. Are you satisfied now?"

He Zhiyuan had never been so angry before, and both He's father and mother were stunned with fear.

"Father and Mother, I'm tired. I'll go back to my room first." After saying that, He Zhiyuan let out a long sigh and returned to his room dejectedly.

That night, in the Yunlong County government office, inside the prison.

A man with disheveled hair and bowed head was tied to the rack in the shape of a "big" character. The man was covered with bruises and there was a winding trail of blood under his feet.

"I, I really have confessed everything." The man said with his dying breath, trying to raise his head and begged the man in black holding the torture instrument: "Please, sir, please have mercy on me and spare me."

It was the big man who kidnapped Lin Yanyu.

"Oh? You told me that you were instructed by the Yin family?"

"Really? I, I would never dare to lie to you, sir. My name is Huang Erhu. I am the distant nephew of the gardener of Yin Mansion. I went to Yin Mansion to work as a temporary worker for a few days because I was short of money. Yesterday afternoon, the housekeeper of Yin Mansion suddenly found me. Ahem..."

Huang Erhu coughed and spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, then continued, "He gave me a portrait of a woman and told me to find a way to kidnap her and take her to Chunfeng Garden. He would give me twenty taels as a reward after the task was completed."

Li Yanqi was playing with the small iron tool with a golden flower bud in his hand. He rotated it, and the sharp flower bud blossomed into a golden thorn flower. He rotated it again, and the golden thorn flower merged into a flower bud again.

"Oh? Besides taking her to Chunfeng Garden, what else did the Yin family ask you to do?"

"No, Steward Yin only asked me to tie her up and take her to the designated room in Chunfeng Garden."

Huang Erhu's swollen eyes wandered around and he didn't dare to look at the person in front of him.

"It's me, it's me who is obsessed with sex, but if I had known that she was your woman, I wouldn't have dared to do it even if I had a hundred guts."

"Even if the person who ordered you to do this gives you a lot of money, it's useless if you don't have a life to spend it. Don't you think so, Huang Erhu?"

The golden flower bud enters the stomach.

"Ah!" Huang Erhu screamed in pain.

"You still don't want to tell the truth? It's okay. I have plenty of time to waste with you. I just don't know if you have the life to waste with me."

Li Yanqi tapped lightly on the golden flower stalk with his fingers.

"I said! I said!"
