Surprise! The little koi from the farm, her husband who died long ago is alive!

Jiang Shuyue, full of doubts, began to test the two of them.

Both men were quite skilled, and probably because they thought that a weak woman like her didn't know martial arts, they didn't hide their strength.

"Two brothers, you don't seem to be locals, right?" Jiang Shuyue spoke only after watching the two men neatly tie up the knocked-out Lu brothers.

"Haha, yes, I'm passing by here on my way to my relative's house. Girl, you'd better be careful when you're alone." said the fatter man.

Jiang Shuyue nodded, thinking that it was definitely no coincidence that they arrived at such a timely moment.

Could it be that... Xiao Lin arranged for them to stay with him early in the morning?

"Yes, today I am grateful to you two brothers. If you come back and pass by here, my home is not far from here, just three miles away in Qinghe Village. My husband's family name is Xiao, so you can get there by asking. I also want to thank you two brothers.

"You're welcome. If the road is unsafe, just help me." said the thinner man.

The two of them didn't stay long, grabbing the Lu brothers and were about to leave, but Jiang Shuyue suddenly stopped them, "Two big brothers, this place is far away from the county town. Anyway, this matter is related to me. I will go back and tell my family, and then send them to the government office."

"No, no, don't bother."

Jiang Shuyue's intuition told him that they seemed to have other plans.

Xiao Lin’s instruction?

What does he want Lu Mingzhan to do?

"Sister, it's getting late, you should go back."

Jiang Shuyue wanted to ask a few more questions to get more information, but the two men were more guilty than thieves and ran away in shame.

The two men carried two adult men as if they were carrying two watermelons; they ran with no burden at all, which shows how skilled they are.

"I was scared to death. The master said that his wife was smart and asked us not to show up if possible. I was really afraid that she would find out and be exposed."

"It's not that easy. Even if we are not locals, that doesn't mean anything. How would he know that we are related to the master?"

The fatter man took a deep breath and said, "That's right. No matter how smart you are, you can't imagine the relationship between us and the master."

The two of them took a long breath and asked, "What should we do with these two?"

"Didn't the master say that this... must be kept and he would deal with it personally?"

The man pointed at Lu Mingzhan and said.

The two men were not satisfied and kicked the brothers a few more times, but the unconscious man did not react at all, like a dead pig.

"You little brat, you actually dared to set your sights on our master's young wife. Do you think that we two brothers are vegetarians?"

Fatter men like to talk a lot, while thinner men talk less, but when they kick them, they never stop.

"If I wasn't afraid of being exposed, I would really like to try the young lady's cooking. It smells delicious."

Who said no?

They don't want to be exposed because of their greed.

Jiang Shuyue thought about it all the way, her thoughts were a little confused, and finally she decided not to think about it anymore. Anyway, since Xiao Lin had restored his identity, he would be back soon.

……

"Shu Yue, Shu Yue..."

Seeing that Jiang Shuyue was distracted, Old Lady Xiao had to raise her voice and shout again.

Jiang Shuyue came back to her senses and looked at the worried old lady Xiao, feeling a little embarrassed, "Mom, what's wrong?"

"It's okay. What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Don't just stand there. Go and take a rest. Your father and I are here!"

Jiang Shuyue shook her head lightly. They were such nice old people. But when she thought that they would be separated from her soon, she felt a little uncomfortable.

"I'm fine."

"You said you were fine, but your face looked so pale. It's all Xiao Lin's fault. That brat made you, a woman, work so hard. When he comes back, even if he has a good reason, I won't let him leave."

Jiang Shuyue said first, but this time when he came back he really couldn't fly away.

"Mom, I'm really fine."

"No, that's the one coming?" Old Mrs. Xiao frowned, "No, I remember you still have five or six days."

The old lady said this in a low voice, so of course she couldn't let the old guy know.

Jiang Shuyue blushed, but felt touched in her heart. The old lady even knew this, so her own mother must be no more than this.

"No, I'm really fine. What did you just call me to say?"

"Oh, I'm asking whether you want to make dumplings or stew this meat."

"what do you think?"

"I... I don't know. If you want to make dumplings, I'll just make the dough and chop the meat. If you want to stew the meat, I'll just chop the vegetables."

"Then let's stew the meat. It's easier this way."

"I'll listen to you." Old Madam Xiao looked at her face again, "Are you really not feeling uncomfortable?"

"Mom, I can treat illnesses myself, have you forgotten?" Jiang Shuyue said with a smile.

Old Madam Xiao nodded and said, "Mom is afraid that you will be too stubborn and hold on even if you are not feeling well."

"I know you love me, Mom. I won't abuse my own body like that."

"That's good!" Old Madam Xiao was relieved, and then she sighed deeply, "I don't know where Xiao Lin is, and there's no news. I want to send him a letter to ask him to come back, but I don't know where to send it."

"He should be back soon." Jiang Shuyue knew that the old man missed his son.

……

General Pei’s Mansion.

"Are you in such a hurry to go back?" Pei Changting asked in disbelief.

Xiao Lin nodded. The clue was interrupted. It was too difficult for him to investigate King Li with his current identity, and he didn't want to involve his adoptive father.

"Your eldest brother will be back in three or five days, why don't you meet him?"

This eldest brother is naturally Pei Shangxing.

Xiao Lin smiled and said nothing.

"I see. You miss your wife?" General Pei joked. He was young once too. After returning from the war, he would not want to leave the house and stick to his wife.

"Don't be embarrassed. It would be strange if you didn't miss such a good wife."

Pei Changting looked at Xiao Lin, "However, I still want to know, when do you plan to resume your identity?"

Xiao Lin's eyes darkened, "Now is not the time!"

"Although I don't know what time you are talking about, I have to remind you that the emperor is not in good health, the queen mother is old, and the prince is not in a good position to take on the responsibility. The adult princes are working hard for that position."

"Foster father, if it weren't for seeking justice for my tragically dead mother, I wouldn't want to regain my identity."

"That being said, the emperor originally wanted you to succeed him. When something happened to you and your son, the emperor was heartbroken, and the crown prince was only appointed two years ago."

"I understand what godfather means, but I have my own plan. Please trust me."

Pei Changting nodded, "Okay, okay, I believe you. Even if you don't take back your own identity, it's okay for you to come to the capital like this. Don't you want to see your father and grandmother?"

Xiao Lin thought of his two relatives and fell silent.
