Shen Xu retracted his foot as if he had succeeded and put it into the quilt, "Huh, that's better, it's just a small wound, if I don't bandage it up, it will heal."
Song Lin smiled faintly and said, "However, your husband will not take the imperial examination."
"Huh?" Shen Xu was a little confused by his nonsensical words.
But Song Lin said quietly, "I can't pass the test."
She burst out laughing and replied, "I don't want you to take the test."
Song Lin added: "Tongsheng, Xiucai, and Juren will not be able to take the exam..."
"You don't need to take the test."
He added: "My husband doesn't know how to farm either."
Shen Xu immediately understood what he meant, her pretty face flushed, and she said coquettishly: "Captain Song, I suspect you are teasing me!"
Song Lin smiled faintly and embraced the no longer angry person in his arms, whispering: "By the way, let's choose another date for the wedding. You are injured and need to rest well. Tomorrow is too hasty."
Shen Xu nodded, "Well, the bounty hasn't been received yet, and there's no time to prepare the dowry, so it will have to be postponed."
She suddenly thought of something, let out a short cry, and quickly broke free from his arms, pushing him to get up.
"We haven't dealt with the bandits in that courtyard yet. Constable Song quickly apprehended them and took the reward. I'm still waiting for the money to buy my dowry. We agreed that you'd pay one and I'd pay nine. And, have you got the thirty taels of silver for the copied books? Hurry up and trot out the door."
Song Lin had actually contacted his uncle to deal with those people, and asked his uncle to handle the procedures for collecting the reward as soon as possible. Seeing that his young wife was so anxious, he couldn't help but want to tease her.
He said in a panic, "Oh no! Whoever catches you gets the reward. I was busy taking you to the clinic, so maybe someone else has already taken advantage of you."
"Ah, then our efforts were all in vain!" Shen Xu hung his head in frustration. "I was even slapped twice by that guy. How could we get nothing?"
Song Lin touched her slightly swollen cheek and asked, "So, will you do such dangerous things again in the future?"
Shen Xu quickly got up from the bed, and while searching for his shoes with his feet, he complained: "Can't you collect the reward first and then save me? It's forty taels, it's not worth it even if you sell me."
"How can it not be worth it? Xiuxiu is a priceless treasure. I won't sell her for any price."
Song Lin simply bent down and moved his shoes out of her reach, grabbed her jade feet, and said with a smile: "Okay, I've asked my uncle to collect the reward on my behalf. You found the den and subdued the men, and you suffered so much injustice. The forty taels are all yours. My husband and his property are also yours, and Ah Huang is yours too."
"You're teasing me!" Shen Xu tried to retract his foot, but he held it firmly in his hand. "Let me go."
"No, not in this lifetime." Song Lin leaned forward, his low voice gentle, "You belong to me."
"Detective Song!"
Song Lin grabbed her feet and tickled the soles of her feet as if to punish her: "What did you call me?"
The tickling feeling caused the person on the bed to giggle. Shen Xu curled up her legs, a smile on her face, and said coquettishly, "Captain Song, don't go too far!"
"You're still calling him Constable Song, but what's his name?"
"Oh, Constable Song, you're so annoying, let me go."
"I won't let go unless you scream." Song Lin raised the corner of his mouth, and scratched the soles of her feet with his fingers with a little force. He looked at the person on the bed with satisfaction as she curled up her body because of being ticklish and let out a sweet laugh like a silver bell.
"Hahaha... Constable Song, hey, are you polite? Hahaha... Let me go, I'm still injured, ouch, it hurts..." Shen Xu shrank his body and giggled, suddenly he hissed, frowned and covered his injured arm.
Song Lin's face changed, and he quickly let go of her hand, and asked anxiously: "How are you? Has the wound opened up?"
Seeing that he had loosened his feet, Shen Xu quickly put them under the quilt, then hooked his neck, raised his head and kissed his lips.
Song Lin opened his eyes wide. That was the first time she took the initiative to kiss him. The feeling was completely different from when he kissed her and hugged her before.
The soft lips felt cool against his mouth, but they instantly ignited all the heat in his body. The desire to get her suddenly expanded and ran through his limbs.
He reached out to hug her back and deepen the kiss, but he saw Shen Xu gently let go of his neck, lowered his head and blushed as he whispered, "If you bully me again, I will punish you."
"Oh? Why do I feel like you're rewarding me?" Song Lin's handsome face flushed red. He raised his hand and hesitantly touched the gauze on her neck. "Xiu Xiu, from now on, I will be your family. I will never abandon you."
"Well, thank you." Shen Xu called him softly, "Alin."
"Hmm? What did you call me?"
"Constable Song!" Shen Xu's voice suddenly rose a lot. Fearing that he was going to tickle him again, he hurriedly urged: "Go and get the silver back quickly. I'm still waiting for the money to prepare my dowry."
"Xiu Xiu."
"Um?"
Song Lin gently stroked her soft hand, his warm hand caressing the thin calluses on her fingers. "Your handwriting is so beautiful. When you have recovered, please write a marriage certificate for us yourself."
Shen Xu smiled and nodded, and agreed firmly: "Yes, okay."
"Call me husband and I'll go get the money." Song Lin was in no hurry to leave. He sat down beside the bed and gently stroked her slightly swollen cheek. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that the young lady in front of him was pretty and charming.
But within this cuteness, there was an indescribable resilience. She took two slaps, but she didn't cry at all. Even when she was naked, even when facing vicious bandits, she didn't panic. Even when she was poisoned and her whole body was shaking like a sieve, she spoke calmly.
