"Yes, Xiao Lin, Shu Yue has said so, so just go." Old Mrs. Xiao looked at her son expectantly, she knew that her son would listen to his wife the most.

Xiao Lin finally nodded reluctantly, "Okay, but...what about the construction site?"

Xiao Lin was telling the truth. He was worried about Jiang Shuyue's villa. She had invested a lot of time and energy, and spent a lot of money, on this villa.

"It will take another month or so for the villa to be completed. It will also need some maintenance after it is completed, so it won't be ready for business so soon. With Brother Hu here, I don't worry about the quality of the project."

Tao Yide glanced at his wife, both of them were a little confused, "What construction site? What are you doing?"

In order to make them treat Jiang Shuyue well, Old Lady Xiao would praise her whenever she had the chance.

"Shu Yue's business is quite big. He is planning to build a hot spring villa. It is currently under construction. You can go with them to take a look later."

Old Mrs. Xiao said excitedly: "Although Shu Yue is a country girl, she is very capable. The canal in our village..."

"Sister, sister." Mrs. Tao interrupted her, "We know Shu Yue is a good daughter-in-law, but... we are still anxious to go back."

What kind of villa? She really has no interest in seeing it.

"Xiao Lin, Shu Yue, you two should come with us tomorrow."

"Are you in such a hurry?" Jiang Shuyue didn't want to keep them any longer, but she had a lot of things on hand that she also had to arrange, right?

"Put your business aside for now. The most important thing is to let Xiao Lin return to his roots." Mrs. Tao spoke in a haughty tone, not looking favorably upon Jiang Shuyue's career at all.

Jiang Shuyue would not be angry with her since she was not related to him.

"It's too rushed, you guys should go back first." Xiao Lin said in a deep voice.

"We...we go back first, how can we?" Mrs. Tao said anxiously, "What about you? Your family is waiting for us to take you back!"

"We have a lot of things to do here, we can't just leave like that."

"What's going on?"

"The construction site, the wedding banquet at Old Man Zhao's house, and my parents..."

Mrs. Tao thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be just like this?

He really has no ambition. I'm afraid his brain is not good because he grew up in the countryside.

"If you are in a hurry, just leave." Xiao Lin's attitude towards them was very cold from beginning to end.

The Tao couple were very accepting of this.

"Then...then let's wait a few more days. If we don't go back, our business will lose a lot of money every day."

Mrs. Tao looked at Jiang Shuyue. In her impression, Jiang Shuyue loved money very much.

Jiang Shuyue was just as she expected, with a distressed look on her face, "Mom and Dad's business is big, so it must be a lot. Xiao Lin, how about we..."

"Let's eat." Xiao Lin deliberately refused in a cold voice.

Jiang Shuyue was not only not angry, but she was also happy in her heart. Xiao Lin was buying time for herself.

Xiao Lin was even more clear that Jiang Shuyue was trying to cooperate with him. What a clever little guy.

The two of them started chatting while delivering meals to the workers.

"They want you to go to the capital, are they also there to monitor you?"

Xiao Lin nodded, "Someone must be worried and wants to see what kind of person I am and whether I am a threat to them. If I am, then they will kill me. If not, they will just keep me around and never know when I might be of use to them."

Jiang Shuyue admired the fact that the twenty-year-old Xiao Lin could think of so much. She could think of it because the twenty-seven-year-old Jiang Shuyue, who had experienced a lot, lived in her heart.

"So, Miss Shen is also one of theirs?" Jiang Shuyue asked tentatively.

Xiao Lin nodded. "Need I say that? I was just accidentally seen by her, and then there was the scene of recognizing my relatives."

"Accidentally?"

Xiao Lin pinched her face and asked, "What do you think?"

Jiang Shuyue snorted coldly, "Every carelessness in the world is premeditated."

Xiao Lin's heart was shocked. She could actually guess that he had planned to approach Shen Zhihuan?

"Come to think of it, you seem to be quite hostile to her?"

Now it was Jiang Shuyue's turn to be nervous, but she couldn't show it on her face. "Really? I just think this girl is bold and I'm impressed by her."

Xiao Lin smiled bitterly, thinking that Shen Zhihuan was indeed different and could easily attract people's attention.

"Following this line, we may be able to catch many people."

Jiang Shuyue nodded, "So, when we go to the capital this time, we must behave well and not let others see through us."

"How?"

"As for you, you continue to be unambitious and idle, and perhaps indulge in beauty, but I am hypocritical and greedy."

It's really exciting.

Jiang Shuyue thought secretly.

"How come I didn't know that you can write opera excerpts?"

Jiang Shuyue said proudly: "There are still many things you don't know."

Although it was a joke, Jiang Shuyue still said seriously: "We will be separated when we go to Beijing this time. Remember, don't touch the food and drinks outside."

Xiao Lin's expression tightened, "Why?"

Jiang Shuyue's eyes flashed, "That's what it says in the play script. People often get poisoned like this, or they get some bad medicine. You have to be careful."

Xiao Lin's heart was in turmoil just now. He thought she was like him, too...

But it seems not.

"I see. Even if I'm poisoned, you're still here, right?"

Jiang Shuyue shook her head. "I am only a half-baked person. I cannot cure all poisons. It is better not to let your life be tied to me."

How can she guarantee his safety if she can't even cure her own poison?

Although it was different from his previous life, Jiang Shuyue always felt that going to the capital this time was still somewhat dangerous.

"But I only trust you." Xiao Lin said.

Jiang Shuyue was stunned for a moment. The weight of this sentence was enough to make her feel excited.

"Xiao Lin, we haven't spent much time together. I don't even believe that I would betray you for fame and fortune. Why do you trust me so much?"

Jiang Shuyue said guiltily, didn't she also think about letting him die in the same way as in his previous life, and then becoming a widow princess?

Just thinking about it though.

Xiao Lin wanted to say that after several years of companionship in the previous life, he knew her well enough.

"You are my wife, what good will it do you if I die?" Xiao Lin said with a smile.

Jiang Shuyue wanted to say, there are so many benefits.

But after looking at the man's eyes, she decided to keep quiet.

"You'd better take back what you said. The closer the people are to you, the more ruthless they will be when they start fighting."

"You won't." Xiao Lin looked at her with a smile, his eyes extremely firm.

Jiang Shuyue's mood at this moment was so complicated that she couldn't explain it clearly.

In the end, she just smiled back.

"Do you think...will they find someone to engage you in marriage?" Jiang Shuyue asked.

Xiao Lin frowned, "What's in your head?"

How come I was thinking about such a serious matter one moment and thinking about these the next?
