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

Lin Yanyu held the file in her hand and pondered for a moment. She let out a long breath with a tired mood and said, "I know about this matter. Thank you for coming to tell me. I wonder if I can borrow this confession for a while?"

Li Yanqi's eyes were dark as he stared at her fair face, and he smiled faintly, "It's okay. The government office still has the copied files. You can take them if you need them."

Then, he cast his eyes on the file in her slender hands and said without any context, "To be kind to your enemy is to be cruel to yourself, even if that person is someone close to you."

How could Lin Yanyu not know the hidden meaning of his words, and she couldn't help feeling bitter in her heart.

In fact, she had never figured out how to deal with her stupid and vicious sister since she came back. After all, even if Lin Yanxia committed unforgivable crimes in her past life, they could not be used as evidence.

If she really let go, she would definitely hurt her parents' hearts. The deepest pain in her previous life was the early death of her parents. For the sake of her parents, she could be cautious and endure for a while. She could just watch the idiot commit suicide and wait for the right time to give her a push.

But now she doesn't want to endure it anymore.

Fragments flashed through her mind: her parents' dangling feet, a fire raging in the city, the hideous and brutal faces of the rebels behind her, the wind whistling past her ears, someone was holding her and fleeing, and there was the warmth of blood on her cheek, it was Li Yanqi's.

Lin Yanyu's tears welled up in her eyes and she choked up, "Thank you, Li Yanqi."

Li Yanqi was stunned for a moment, then raised his hands and said in panic: "Ah, hey, hey, I didn't do anything! Auntie, please don't cry. If your parents see us, they will use a fork to poke a few transparent holes in my body."

Li Yanqi said this as he looked towards the yard fearfully, then quickly pulled her to the corner of the alley and blocked her in front of him.

He roughly wiped the tears from Lin Yanyu's face with his sleeve, and said in a rough voice: "They say women are made of water. Now I finally believe it."

"hiss--!"

Lin Yanyu felt pain on her face and couldn't help but push his fan-like hand away, "You hurt me, I'll wipe it myself."

She took out the embroidered handkerchief to wipe away her tears, feeling a little embarrassed. She lowered her eyes and said, "Nothing else. I just suddenly thought that I was able to be safe this time, thanks to you. I'm a little touched."

Hearing her say this, Li Yanqi breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay to be moved, but there's no need to cry. I'm most afraid of women crying. Next time, don't cry for this reason."

As he spoke, his dark eyes turned and cast their gaze on the embroidered handkerchief held in the bare hand. He raised the corner of his lips slightly and asked with a sly smile, "Where did you buy this handkerchief? It smells really good, the same as the smell on you."

"Ah?" Lin Yanyu was still a little stunned, then her face flushed and she said angrily: "All day long, you just talk nonsense."

"Tsk, you old-fashioned guy, I just happen to have no handkerchief to use, so I'll consider this as your thank you gift to me."

Before he could react, the embroidered handkerchief with wild geese and Concubine Yu had been put into Li Yanqi's arms, and he patted it anxiously.

Lin Yanyu immediately became anxious and said, "This is what I embroidered. I really can't give it to you. It's not in accordance with etiquette. If you don't have a handkerchief, I can give you some money and you can buy a new one yourself."

"No, I think this is good enough. Well, if you are really stingy and don't want to give it to me, you can take it back yourself."

Li Yanqi crossed his arms across his chest, looked up at the sky with his dark eyes, tilted his head and pouted, looking very strange.

Lin Yanyu looked at the broad chest holding her embroidered handkerchief, her face suddenly flushed, she pushed him away and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, his hand was grabbed and pressed against the wall.

"You and that guy surnamed He broke up yesterday...did you break up? I guess you did."

Lin Yanyu's heart was beating like a drum. She didn't want to answer honestly at first, but after several times, she knew the character of this person in front of her very well. She just wanted to get out of the predicament as soon as possible, so she had no choice but to nod reluctantly.

"Hehe, I knew it." Li Yanqi let her go with a silly smile, and at the same time did not forget to slander others: "It's good to brag, what's the good of a weak egg that can be knocked down with a finger."

Lin Yanyu felt her teeth itching when she saw Li Yanqi's smug look, but based on her previous experiences, she knew that she would be the one who would suffer in the end, so when she was released, she could only curse him indifferently: "Asshole!"

He ran back home as if he was being chased by a dog.

"Tsk, you can't even curse. How can you survive without me?"

Li Yanqi scratched his cheek with his fingers, looking at the back that he had seen several times, and felt so happy for the first time.

After Lin Yanyu's figure disappeared in front of the Lin family's door, he patted his chest, hummed a little tune, and walked away.

He thought to himself, even though Lin Yanyu said she would no longer bother with the Yin family, he remembered clearly how Madam Yin treated her, so he would have to go to the Yin Mansion tonight to give this noble lady some trouble.

At the Lin family’s dinner table.

Mr. Lin and his mother had recovered from the shock of the three thousand taels. His mother was so happy that she cooked a few more dishes and poured two taels of wine for Mr. Lin.

The family of three sat around the dining table, all with smiling faces behind the steaming dishes, and Mr. Lin kept putting food into his mother's bowl.

"Mei'er, you've worked hard today. Eat more."

Mother Lin glanced at him shyly, then picked up some meat dishes for her eldest daughter. "Zhizhi, eat more. Your chin has become more pointed recently. You can't lose any more weight."

Lin Yanyu wanted to tell her mother that she had lost weight and that her underwear was tight recently. However, she knew that there was a kind of thinness that only mothers thought you were thin, so she silently accepted her mother's love and care.

Mother Lin looked at her daughter's puffy cheeks lovingly and said gently, "Zhizhi, I'll hide the three thousand taels for you first. You can take it with you when you go out. Don't tell anyone about this money. Just treat it as your own private money."

"Mom, I don't need so much money. You and Dad can keep it for your old age. Consider it as my filial piety to you."

"Your father and I don't need it. Your father teaches in the academy and earns at least thirty taels of silver a year, which is enough for our family to spend in a year."

Mother Lin breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "If...if you really can't find a suitable one, then just stay at home and don't go out. With these three thousand taels, your father and I can sleep peacefully. These three thousand taels are the compensation from the Yin family and you deserve them. Your father and I will also do our best to arrange for your sister."

Speaking of her youngest daughter, Mother Lin couldn't help but feel a little sad. She sighed and said, "Yanxia always says that mother is partial, but you are all flesh and blood of mother, so how can I favor one over the other? Yanxia is just too ignorant. Forget it, let's not talk about her anymore and eat."

How could Lin Yanyu not know that her parents loved both daughters very much, but they did not spoil them blindly. When Lin Yanxia made mistakes and was punished, she would only complain that her parents were partial, and never reflected on whether she had done something wrong.

For example, this time it was clearly Lin Yanxia who was shameless and wanted to swap marriages with her sisters, but she even had the nerve to be angry with her parents and refuse to eat. She made a big fuss in her room, blaming her parents for not agreeing, and had no intention of repenting at all. The meal her mother had left for her was still warming in the kitchen.

"Zhizhi, I've told you so many times not to bite your chopsticks. What would it look like if a grown-up girl bit her chopsticks?"

Lin Yanyu immediately blushed and came back to her senses, put down her chopsticks, and replied obediently: "I know, mother."

Then, he poked the remaining brown rice with chopsticks and asked casually, "Mom and Dad, if someone wants to harm me, what will you do?"
