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

"Long-lost brothers?" The man repeated Shen Zhihuan's words.

Shen Zhihuan nodded, "Yes, but how is this possible? Doesn't the royal family value offspring? Your father... doesn't have a Daming Lake outside, does he?"

"By the Daming Lake?" The man didn't understand what she meant.

"Hey, this is a joke from my family."

"stem?"

"Forget it, I think I can't explain it clearly. What I mean is, he can't be a illegitimate child, right?" Shen Zhihuan opened his eyes wide, "Have I discovered any secrets?"

"No." The man said decisively.

Shen Zhihuan smiled and said, "So, you two are just similar."

"Do you know that man?"

Shen Zhihuan nodded, "Yes, we are from Lin County. He went to my father to buy medicine before, and it happened that I was almost arrested. But we only met once."

"What's his name?"

"Hiss..." Shen Zhihuan slapped her head. Fortunately, she remembered, "Xiao... Xiao Lin."

"Is he still in the capital?"

"I don't know. He just said he would go back after dinner. I don't know if he has left yet."

Shen Zhihuan was just talking casually, but when he saw the man, he became curious, "Could it be that you two are really related?"

"No, I was just asking." The man's eyes were full of mystery. "You said they look alike, right? I want to see how similar they are. Besides, he helped you before, so I..."

Shen Zhihuan curled her lips, her face shy, "You don't think you are a substitute, do you?"

The man reacted and realized that she had misunderstood, but he did not explain too much.

"Don't worry, he's married." Shen Zhihuan looked at the man in front of him with burning eyes.

The man smiled, but being a thoughtful man, he kept the matter in mind.

After returning to the mansion, he asked someone to investigate this person named Xiao Lin.

……

In order to get back earlier, Xiao Lin didn't dare to delay for a moment on the road.

However, before he entered the village, he was stopped by the brothers Chen Qi and Chen Ping.

"Did anything happen during the time I was away from home?" Xiao Lin asked.

They were his adoptive father's people. His adoptive father gave them to him in his previous life. In this life, his adoptive father was worried about his safety, so he assigned someone else. However, because the time was different from his previous life, it was not them. He found an excuse and still chose them.

In their previous life, they died on the same day, and the two brothers stood in front of him one after another.

One had his limbs chopped off, another had his heart pierced by a sharp blade, their tragic scenes are still vivid in my mind.

Seeing them talking and laughing in front of him, Xiao Lin felt that everything was still in time.

"Give!"

Xiao Lin handed the bag to them, and Chen Qi took it. "What is it?"

"Just open it and you'll know." Xiao Lin said in a cheerful voice.

"Oh, this is... the preserved fruit from Fu Ji's in the capital? They are all my favorites. Master, are you... are you the worm in my stomach?"

Although Chen Ping is the younger brother, he is more mature than his elder brother. He kept winking at his elder brother, but Chen Qi was so attracted by the delicious food that he didn't notice it at all.

"Master, my brother..."

"It's okay. Although you are the people sent by my adoptive father to protect me, I don't consider you as my subordinates. There's no need to be so restrained." Xiao Lin said.

He knew about Chen Qi's hobby, which was that he liked sweets.

Chen Ping was much more restrained. He had no special hobbies and was content as long as he was well fed and well drunk. However, he knew that Chen Ping had a sweetheart who lived in a brothel in the capital, and his goal was to save enough money to redeem the girl.

This matter is not as simple as eating, and it won't arouse suspicion. Wait until he returns to the capital as a prince, and then help him realize his dream.

Chen Qi enjoyed the meal and was full of gratitude to Xiao Lin, "Master, you bought my favorite food just by casually buying it. This is fate."

Xiao Lin smiled and said, "I don't think it's as delicious as Shu Yue's. I'll ask her to make some for you guys to try later."

Speaking of Jiang Shuyue, Chen Qi finally remembered the important matter.

"Master, we have met the lady."

If he had seen it, it meant something had happened, and Xiao Lin was very nervous.

Chen Ping didn't dare to keep the secret and told what happened that day.

"What about people?"

"In the cave, the master said he would deal with it personally, so we didn't take his life."

Xiao Lin nodded, "Very good, I'll go home first and I'll meet him later."

Xiao Lin looked at the two of them and said, "You have worked hard these days. I am back today. You can take a few days off and go around the town. Be careful in the next few days."

"What the master means is..." Chen Ping asked seriously.

"I deliberately released the news to lure the snake out of its hole. I'm sure someone will come to test my identity after a while. If it's just a test, it's fine. I'm worried that if he knows any clues, he won't let me stay."

"Then we two brothers must stay with our master closely."

"It won't be here for a few days, so take this money, eat something nice, and get well."

After Chen Qi put away the two money bags, he said, "I am really greedy. Now I want to go to Madam's shop to have a good meal."

After Chen Ping put away the silver, he didn't say anything. Xiao Lin guessed that he was going to save it to redeem the girl.

He patted Chen Ping on the shoulder, then jumped on his horse and hurried home.

The door was not closed. Xiao Lin heard the sound of busy work in the yard and curled his lips. If it weren't for all the hatred, he really would be willing to stay here forever.

I have parents, a wife and a warm home.

However, he couldn't.

"Sister...Brother-in-law?" Jiang Liuyun was hanging out the washed clothes to dry. When he saw Xiao Lin, he shouted excitedly.

Old Madam Xiao sighed heavily from inside the house. "Yeah, your brother-in-law is such a jerk. When he comes back, I'll show you how I'll deal with him. Your sister is so busy that she can't even touch the ground, but he's gone out."

Jiang Liuyun smiled and said, "Auntie, I said... my brother-in-law is back."

"Ah? Really?" As she spoke, Old Mrs. Xiao stood up and knocked something over in the house. She quickly walked to the door and saw the person grinning at her in the yard. Wasn't that her son?

"Xiao Lin..." She slapped her thigh happily, "You little brat, you still remember to come back?"

Xiao Lin's absence was not long this time, only about a month, and most of the time was spent on traveling.

"Mom, this is my home. Where can I go if I don't come back?" Xiao Lin said.

"Humph, you still know this is your home, don't run around anymore."

Xiao Lin nodded. He looked around. Old Madam Xiao snorted, "Looking for Shu Yue?"

How could a bad boy not want such a good wife?

"Where is she?" Xiao Lin nodded. "Has she gone to the villa?"
