Ever since Song Lin learned that his 'brother-in-law' was Miss Xue herself, he has been deliberately avoiding her.
He was also very wary of the real Xue Yan, and he stuck to Shen Xu almost all the time, fearing that the two of them would really fall in love with each other.
Listening to Shen Xu praising Xue Yan's insights, Master Song felt jealous.
Inside the tent, Song Lin's tone was filled with jealousy. "Xiu Xiu, you said you would never act separately from me again. Why did you go to the Northern Camp to negotiate with Pei Zhiyuan without taking me with you?"
"But you have to garrison Xiangyang Mountain." Shen Xu was writing a policy paper without raising his head, and answered Song Lin's words nonchalantly.
"Xiu Xiu, Pei Zhiyuan is fine, but that Master Xue is obviously not a good person. He's too scheming. He definitely has a purpose for approaching you!"
"Xue Yan is a rare talent. I originally thought he only had the ability to be a right-hand man, but I didn't expect he could also do the work of a left-hand man. The Xue family in the north really has a deep foundation.
Well, I have to ask Pei Zhiyuan tomorrow if I can give him the position of Prime Minister Lu." She lowered her head, flipping through the documents handed over by the state government while writing furiously.
A lot of problems need to be solved, including the locust plague in the north, the relocation of population, compensation for martyrs, disarmament and land reclamation, food relief and disaster relief.
This has kept her very busy. She urgently needs a reliable person to help her share the government affairs, and Xue Yan is a suitable candidate at the moment.
"Xiu Xiu." Song Lin's tone was slightly unhappy, but he was thinking of the rumors in the army and some things she might have encountered.
His face flushed, he lowered his eyebrows and said, "Although he is smart, my husband's health is better than his."
"Well, Xue Yan is really impeccable except for his poor health. He's a perfect match! Oh, right..."
Shen Xu muttered as he pulled out a blueprint from a pile of books and buried his head in writing and drawing again. "My legs and feet are not good and it's always inconvenient. I don't know if this can be used after I modify it."
Song Lin watched her carefully drawing a prosthetic limb on the blueprint, thinking from time to time and saying something he couldn't understand.
He pursed his lips tightly, extremely frightened.
His Xiuxiu has changed her heart and is actually drawing prosthetic limbs for her new love!
In order to save the Xue family, she even pretended to be the eldest daughter of the Xue family in public. No wonder Xue Yan was willing to be a concubine.
When he thought about how several of the king's generals had been urging him, both explicitly and implicitly, to be magnanimous and accept the Northern Wolf Army Advisor as his junior for the sake of national harmony...
It's over, the family is going to be broken!
He walked over and took the pen from her hand.
Shen Xu uttered an "ah!" as a dark blob of ink suddenly appeared on the drawing. She said with a hint of displeasure, "What are you doing?"
Without saying a word, Song Lin pushed her chair away from the desk, stood in front of her and blocked the picture of the prosthetic limb with his body.
The deep voice sounded slightly dissatisfied: "I, your husband, also won the battle, why don't you care about me?"
"Yes, my husband is the bravest. It's all thanks to you that we have achieved this great victory."
"Don't give me the cold shoulder."
"Yeah." Shen Xu stood up, hooked one hand around his neck, stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek.
"That's too perfunctory."
"Then let me finish these things first..." Shen Xu bent over, dragged the armrest of the chair and was about to sit back at the desk.
"There's no way I can finish it." Song Lin simply stood in front of her, held her face, leaned over and kissed her lips.
Seeing that she no longer resisted, he lowered his head and kissed her lips deeply, carefully feeling her warm breath on his face.
He had long wanted to have some intimacy with her, but there were too many things to deal with in the past half month, and his little wife was always very busy, often discussing matters with them until late at night.
Finally, he fell asleep out of exhaustion. He also remained in a state of high alert. Although the war was over, he was still worried about mutiny and another incident...
Moreover, the military camp is very inconvenient. Whenever I want to improve our relationship, someone always comes in to disturb us.
He closed his eyes and kissed the soft lips affectionately, savoring the fragrance between his lips and teeth.
Shen Xu felt like she was about to be kissed dizzy. She placed her hands on his shoulders and said coquettishly, "Okay, don't disturb my work."
Song Lin supported himself on the back of the chair with his hands, controlling the person in the chair, his amber eyes filled with heavy thoughts.
"Xiu Xiu, you've been working so hard these past few days. Take a day off today and spend some time with your husband."
"But I have an appointment with Xue Yan to discuss river management tomorrow morning, so I have to prepare these things... um..."
Song Lin leaned over and blocked her lips again. He was almost going crazy with jealousy when he heard that two out of three sentences she mentioned Xue Yan.
He violently pursued the fragrance of her lips, trying to melt her into the chair with his kiss.
The two kissed deeply for a long time, until the air around their lips became thin, and then they reluctantly let go of each other.
The temperature around them seemed to rise by several degrees, and the air became thicker and more ambiguous. Song Lin reached out with his big hands, hugged the soft waist in his arms, and strode towards the bed.
Shen Xu wrapped her arms around his neck nervously, her face slightly red as she softly discussed, "Well, husband, can we wait a couple of days? My body isn't very comfortable yet."
"Why hasn't it healed in so long? It's been more than half a month..." Song Lin frowned slightly. She had used this reason to reject him many times. It hasn't healed in more than half a month. What on earth happened between her and Xue Yan!
He said anxiously, "We will arrive at Qingyun City in Yazhou Prefecture tomorrow. Let's go to the city to find a doctor to check on your health."
Shen Xu was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "No need, I have already asked the military doctor to prescribe medicine."
"Military doctors only bandage wounds, but you still need to see a doctor for complicated illnesses."
"Really, no need. I'll be fine in a few days." Shen Xu lay on the bed and quickly covered her collar with her hands, fearing that he would take off her clothes.
Xue Yu's whip was so powerful that his shoulder was still bruised after more than ten days.
Shen Xu was afraid that Song Lin would feel distressed, and was also afraid that he would blame her for going to the Northern Camp to negotiate without saying a word. He was even more worried that he would be so angry that he would cause trouble for the Xue brothers and sisters, so he asked in detail about the reason at that time.
She had experienced such a life-threatening situation in Xueying, how could she let him know about it.
She had no choice but to endure it, even avoiding him when changing clothes and taking a bath.
Seeing her being so secretive, Song Lin felt very confused. She really had changed her mind. She had never been so sneaky before.
What tricks did Xue Yan use to kidnap his sweet wife in just a few days!
He was extremely wary of Pei Zhiyuan, but he never expected that his house would be robbed by a man with crippled legs.
How the hell can you tolerate this?
He quickly covered Shen Xu with the quilt and said softly, "Don't read the official documents today. If you are not feeling well, go to bed early."
Seeing that he seemed angry, Shen Xu nodded quickly and lay down on the bed obediently.
Song Lin covered himself with the quilt and turned to leave.
