The little dark guard who travels between two lives

"Ah! Get married!" Xinhe was stunned when he heard Yu Huaian's words.

But Brother Shen did get married, but that wife was not me.

Xin He immediately recalled the scene in her previous life when Yu Shen transferred her out of the Dark Guard Battalion and entered the Prime Minister's Mansion for the first time.

Yu Shen from his previous life and Madam Yu, who was his biological sister, were both standing in the main hall, both of them looking at him with critical eyes.

In her previous life, she didn’t know why Lord Yu wanted to call her out alone. She stood nervously in front of the two men, facing their scrutinizing and critical eyes, full of uneasiness.

She only heard Madam Yu sneer, and then a delicate voice sounded: "Brother Shen, why did you pick such a rustic girl to be my substitute? I don't think she looks like me at all. I don't want her to be my substitute. It's too embarrassing."

Yu Shoufu just comforted his wife softly and said, "This is the most similar one we can find. I will teach her well, and with the change of clothes, she will definitely look more like you. Listen to your brother and don't make trouble. From now on, you will go to the villa I arranged for you. Don't go out casually. Be obedient. When the matter is settled, I will take you back to the mansion."

It was then that Xinhe realized that she was to be the stand-in for this beautiful lady. Yu Shen did not tell her too much, but only asked her to observe the lady's words and deeds carefully, and to learn to dress and make up like her.

As a secret guard, I had no right to refuse. I could only follow the lady and observe her words and actions carefully. During this process, I was fed up with her contempt and disdain.

Xinhe had always felt puzzled, as Old Master Yu was a nice person. Although he was strict with secret guards like them, he did not look down on them.

Why did Mr. Yu find such a double-faced wife for Mr. Yu? In front of others, the wife is lively and pretty, and she smiles sweetly when she speaks, which is very likable.

But when it was just her and the lady behind the scenes, the lady would always make sarcastic remarks and ridicule her, as if it was such an honor for her to be the lady's substitute.

Xinhe could only endure all this silently, hoping to learn the lady's words and deeds as quickly as possible and become a qualified substitute as soon as possible so that she could leave the difficult-to-serve lady.

From then on, she followed Prime Minister Yu to various occasions. In front of the world, she became the most favored wife of Prime Minister Yu, and at the same time, she became the target of attack by Yu Shen's enemies. Various assassinations followed.

However, the saddest thing is that as a secret guard, he actually fell in love with Prime Minister Yu while being a stand-in. He enthusiastically hoped to help him with all his strength and help him protect his wife, but eventually died under the sword of Prince Cheng.

Since her rebirth, she has reminded herself not to indulge in the humble secret love in her previous life. She was reborn to find family affection and help her relatives avoid the tragic fate of her previous life.

As for Yu Shen, she always reminded herself that Brother Shen was her childhood sweetheart, and she shouldn't think too much about other things.

Sometimes she would wonder, if she had not been harmed by someone in her previous life, would Yu Shen have liked her? But when she thought of how much Yu Shen loved that lady in her previous life, she would shake her head and deny it, maybe Yu Shen liked her sister!

After much thought, Xinhe decided to treat Yu Shen as her brother. This way, she wouldn't be so entangled and would devote herself to practicing her skills to protect her loved ones.

But now Uncle Yu's words suddenly came to his mind. It turned out that time passed so quickly. Yu Shen was no longer the little brother he had been when he was a child. Yu Shen had grown up and was going to get married. After getting married, would he still be his brother Shen?

Xinhe suddenly felt very confused. She stared at Yu Huaian with wide eyes, unable to utter a word.

Yu Huaian looked at Xinhe's silly look and suddenly found it funny. It seemed that this girl didn't dislike her silly son?

He bent down and tapped Xin He's forehead: "Xin girl, what are you thinking about? Hey girl, I think Shen Er is so stupid that he will never find a wife. Otherwise, why don't you marry me, your uncle?"

Xin He finally came back to her senses: "What? Me? I can't do it!"

"Why not? Uncle, I like you. If I say yes, then you can do it!" Yu Huaian continued to ask Xin He: "Just tell me whether you are willing or not?"

Xinhe was stunned. No, uncle, you are choosing a wife for your son, so you have to ask your son’s opinion. Is it appropriate for you to make such an arbitrary decision?

"I...no, uncle, I..." Xinhe was so stammering due to Yu Huaian's relentless questioning that she could not answer.

Xinhe's big eyes turned: "Ah, I suddenly remembered that my mother asked me to go home for something. Uncle, I'll go first!" After saying that, Xinhe turned around and ran, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Yu Huaian smiled. What for? Today, the two children ran away in front of him. He just wanted to find a daughter-in-law. Is it that difficult?

No, I have to go talk to Qin Mingxuan tomorrow about this matter and decide on Xinhe first, so that this daughter-in-law I have chosen won't be snatched away by someone else.

His silly son didn't know how to pursue girls, and he, as an old father, had to worry about him. Sigh! Yu Huaian shook his head and sighed as he went back to the backyard.

At this time, Xin He's face was flushed and she was confused. She knew that Uncle Yu was always so carefree, but she didn't expect him to ask her such an embarrassing question so bluntly.

Do you want to be Brother Shen's wife? Xin He silently thought about this in her heart.

I did want to do this in my previous life, but unfortunately, I was of low status and was just a small secret guard with unknown origins who was picked up by Lord Yu.

During the two years of being a stand-in, she actually fell in love with the stern Prime Minister Yu. Xinhe remembered how much she envied Madam Yu who was protected by Yu Shen.

Xinhe remembered that although Yu Shen hid his real wife in the villa, he was always worried about her. Several times, he took her to the villa to visit his wife under the pretext of sightseeing.

Seeing how Lord Yu doted on his wife and how affectionate he was, Xinhe was secretly envious. She dared not show her humble feelings for him and could only hide them in her heart.

Sometimes, she would be intoxicated by the kindness that Lord Yu showed to her. In front of others, Lord Yu would considerately put a cloak on her to protect her from the cold, and would also buy hot cakes for her at the market. Even though those were snacks that only ladies liked, Xinhe could not help but be happy.

But then, Xin He would remind herself that it was all fake. She knew very well that Yu Shen's kindness and favor towards his wife in front of everyone was fake and was used to deceive outsiders.

But I am willing to use that little bit of false goodness and favor to deceive myself, and take it out to savor it carefully in the dead of night to comfort my lonely heart.

That was the only sweetness in his previous life, but this little sweetness was seen by his wife in his previous life.
