【Father-in-law Chapter 34】Spring Heart

Lin Wenyue was distracted for several days.

Because she was afraid of seeing "Shen San", she pretended to be sick and hid in her room for many days. It was not until Chu Jiao said that she had something to see her that Lin Wenyue left the room.

"Where is your personal bodyguard?"

Chu Jiao was not accompanied by the ferocious "Shen San". Instead, there was a young man with a slightly thin and pale face but handsome.

"He was originally my father-in-law's subordinate. After sending us to the place, he naturally went back to report."

Chu Jiao had already thought of what to say.

"Oh..." Lin Wenyue nodded thoughtfully, "So that's the case..." It turned out

that the adulterer was also her brother-in-law's subordinate... This made it even more difficult to deal with.

She was only in such a state of confusion for a few seconds before her mind was attracted by the man in front of her. All she could see was him, so she could not think of anything else.

"Then... who is this?"

Shen Zhen was sitting in the main seat, only a few feet away from her. He was tall and elegant, and looked more handsome than any man Lin Wenyue had ever seen.

"Oh," Chu Jiao glanced at Shen Zhen with a half-smile, and introduced him to Lin Wenyue, "my husband, 'Shen Zhongxing'."

"According to the relationship between us, I should call you 'Aunt'..."

Chu Jiao was completely teasing Shen Zhen. Who told him to be so unrestrained these days? She was so tired now that her waist and legs were sore.

"..."

Shen Zhen knew that he had offended the little girl, so he let her get angry. He used the cover of his sleeves to massage the girl's lower back vigorously.

"No, no need," Lin Wenyue asked, and waved her hands quickly. Her little face had started to turn red without her knowing when. She said shyly, "Lord Shen has an official post, so just call me Wenyue."

Chu Jiao rolled her eyes when Lin Wenyue wasn't paying attention, causing Shen Zhen to laugh.

This little girl, this straightforward little temper, he didn't know how it was cultivated.

But he just liked it.

And Lin Wenyue's face turned even redder after hearing Shen Zhen's laughter.

Lord Shen... is so handsome.

When she was in the capital, she heard from her mother that her brother-in-law Shen Zhen had an adopted son, but he was sick and weak and had never appeared in public.

She didn't expect that the sickly boy in her parents' mouths turned out to be so young and promising. He became a local official at such a young age, and was no less capable than her brother-in-law back then.

If... if he hadn't gotten married yet.

Lin Wenyue felt upset again.

How could Chu Jiao be so lucky?

Chu Jiao didn't care about Lin Wenyue's distraction.

She admired the heroine's desire to "pursue freedom", but she still felt that her behavior was too naive.

If it weren't for the halo of the protagonist, such an unauthorized act of escaping would definitely not have a good ending.

Fortunately, she wouldn't have to get along with the heroine for long.

"Ms. Lin, do you have an uncle named Lin Tao?" Chu Jiao asked.

"Yes," Lin Wenyue raised her head when she heard

it, "this time we left the capital, we are going to seek refuge with our uncle." "That's good," Chu Jiao smiled, "my husband has been asking around for you since he took office. Due to my reputation, he has been trying to find out for several days before we made any progress."

Lin Wenyue was stung, but she couldn't get angry, so she could only smile awkwardly at Shen Zhen, "Thank you, Lord Shen."

"It so happened that one of the officials just returned from Wu County as an official. Your uncle is a well-known businessman in Wu County," Chu Jiao sighed, "my husband heard the surname Lin and asked carefully. It so happened that the official said that a member of the Lin family had recently returned from the capital, and he immediately thought of you."

"Your family should have been settled in Wu County by now. You will be able to return home soon."

Return home!?

So soon?

Lin Wenyue was a little flustered. She, this was her first meeting with Lord Shen.

Why are they going to say goodbye?

This Chu Jiao is so nosy!

Chu Jiao didn't care how much resentment Lin Wenyue had towards her. If Lin Wenyue was not still useful to Shen Zhen, she would have wanted to drive the mistress out of her home long ago. She was more

like a master than her master all day long. Not only did she stay in her room and never come out, but she also wanted to eat this and that, and she didn't treat herself as an outsider.

Shen Zhen had been in the government office for a while, and he was considered familiar with it.

He found out that Du Qi seemed to have interest transactions with several major businessmen in Wu County, but he could not get any substantial evidence, so he had to think of another way.

It just so happened that Lin Wenyue's uncle Lin Tao made his fortune by reselling specialty items from Daxie and the surrounding small countries. In recent years, he has been involved in grain trade, and his business has grown bigger and bigger. He has become more and more famous and well-known, and is also on the list of people that Du Qi associates with.

The Lin family is a good breakthrough.

However...

Lin Wenyue thought her vision was very concealed, but Shen Zhen had already felt it.

It's nothing, he has dealt with a lot of such admiration in the capital, and he has long been accustomed to it.

If he hadn't met Chu Jiao before, he wouldn't mind using a beauty trick, but now, he doesn't want Chu Jiao to misunderstand.

But when he saw the little girl didn't mind at all, and was still eating the cherries, Shen Zhen felt a little itchy.

Does she trust him so much?

Humph!

Wu County, now Suzhou, Jiangsu.

Mini-theater:

Before going to bed one day

Shen Zhen (hesitant): Jiao'er, do you mind if I use the beauty trap?

Chu Jiao (careless): "Beauty trap"? Who? You?

Shen Zhen (proud face): Of course!

Chu Jiao (laughing): Pfft!

Shen Zhen (angry): Hey! Isn’t Grandpa handsome! ? Aren’t you a beautiful man? ! Back in the day, Grandpa was all over the capital, with a handsome face…blablabla…

Chu Jiao (fell asleep due to sleepiness): I guess… huh… huh…

Shen Zhen (smoothing his hair): That’s more like it… Hey, why are you asleep! ? You haven’t even said anything yet! Do you mind? Do you mind? ?
