Xu Jinyi was surprised: "You know my husband? Are you also an official of the imperial court?"
Fu Shiyan's heart sank a little bit. So she was the sickly girl in the capital, and the loving couple that Lin Ze was rumored to be?
The more he thought about it, the more upset Fu Shiyan became.
In the palace examination three years ago, the most outstanding person was not Lin Ze at all.
Among those ten people, five of them were extremely talented, but they were all Prince Fu's men.
Choosing Lin Ze as the top scholar was a helpless move, but he didn't expect that it would backfire on him.
For a moment, Fu Shiyan was a little stuck in a rut.
If he had not chosen Lin Ze as the top scholar at that time, he would not have been qualified to be the son-in-law of the Xu family.
I’m afraid I can’t even step into the Xu family’s doorstep.
So the little woman in front of him was handed over to Lin Ze himself.
"Young Master?"
"I'm not an official, I just know your husband, but I saw your body, so how can I not be responsible?"
"Besides, I just heard your conversation with the maid. I was the first person to see your body, so I should be responsible."
Xu Jinyi shook her head. "My husband has been very kind to me. He has never despised my shabby body. Now that you have seen me, my reputation is ruined. If you don't help to conceal this, I can only..."
"Forget it, I didn't say I wouldn't help you hide this." Fu Shiyan just felt uncomfortable when she kept calling him husband.
"Thank you, sir. How are you injured?"
"It's okay, go ahead."
"Then we'll never meet again. Goodbye." Xu Jinyi almost ran out of the room.
That hurried back figure made Fu Shiyan laugh.
Xu Jinyi knows that too much is as bad as too little.
She is still a wife. If she continues to help him treat his wounds or stay, people will think she did it on purpose.
Now, the deep impression you have left on him will make a man never forget it.
The purpose of tonight has been achieved.
Prince Wang was a good friend of her third brother, and she was also quite familiar with him.
Knowing that he would be waiting at the inn tonight, Xu Jinyi took Jinxiu directly there.
Young Master Wang was sitting inside waiting eagerly. When he saw that the maid following Xu Jinyi was not the person he wanted to see, the disappointment in his eyes was obvious.
"Why? Are you disappointed to see me, Prince?"
"How could that be? Sister Xu, please sit down. Why call me Prince Wang? Just call me Stone, just like your brother. Didn't Dujuan come out today?"
Xu Jinyi knew that he had a good impression of Dujuan, and that Dujuan did have some skills.
Xu Jinyi sat down and motioned Jinxiu to sit next to him. Seeing that she was unwilling to follow the rules, he pulled her to sit down.
"Shi Tou, I'm afraid your expectations will be in vain." Then Xu Jinyi told him that Du Juan had offered to be his concubine.
"Don't think too much. I didn't force her. She knelt in front of me and said she had no feelings for you and hoped to be my concubine."
"I haven't agreed to this yet. I have to ask my husband for his consent first."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Shi Tou's face. He didn't expect that she would rather be a concubine than marry him.
Shi Tou was somewhat reluctant to believe that Du Juan was such a person, but he thought of the scene he had suddenly caught a glimpse of before.
Indeed, merchants are of low status. In the eyes of some people, being a merchant's wife is not as glorious as being an official's concubine.
Shitou laughed at himself, expressing his understanding: "I know my sister is not the kind of person who forces others, so I won't force you."
Anyway, I just have some good feelings towards Du Juan. She is just pretty and there is nothing I can't let go of.
"Although Du Juan doesn't want to, take a look at my new adopted sister. She's four years younger than you and still growing taller. If you like her, you can have sex with her first."
Jinxiu's face was turning red, and she felt that the weather was so hot tonight.
The heat rushed to my head.
Shitou was stunned and looked at Jinxiu who was shy beside him.
They had seen her before, but Jinxiu was obviously dressed up today and looked a little better than usual.
The blush on her face added a bit of feminine charm to her pretty face, and Wang Shitou's heart moved.
He began to look at Jinxiu carefully. In fact, with his family background, there was no need for him to marry a lowly maid.
He could marry a merchant's daughter of equal status, but his family's ancestral precept was to only marry one wife, so he wanted to find someone he knew well.
When marrying a wife, one should marry a virtuous one. If he marries a troublemaker like his father and mother, it would be a tragedy.
So when choosing a wife, he doesn't look at what the other person is like, the only thing he cares about is that her character must be good.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Brother Xu San to help find a suitable candidate, and then set his sights on the maidservant beside Xu Jinyi.
Looking at it now, Jinxiu was like a pearl covered with dust. Why hadn't he noticed it before?
Such clear eyes are obviously much better than Dujuan's.
Although her body is not as plump as Dujuan's, she is still young, isn't she?
But in case something like Dujuan happened, Shitou asked first.
"Miss Jinxiu, I'm just a merchant. I don't hold any official position, and I don't plan to buy one in the future. Are you willing?"
Jinxiu then raised her head and said, "I am willing. It is a blessing for a maid like me to be married as his wife. How could I not want to marry her?"
Xu Jinyi knew that this happy event would happen, so she stood up with a smile and said, "You guys chat, I'll go shopping by myself first."
Jinxiu stood up anxiously: "Madam."
"Don't worry, I'm a grown-up, am I really afraid of getting lost?"
Fu Shiyan returned to the palace safely, and Xu Jinyi's tearful face kept appearing in his mind.
And that impactful scene.
When I thought of that fair body and plump breasts, a heat rose in my lower abdomen, which was almost impossible to cover even with the hem of my clothes.
Thinking of what Xu Jinyi said about consummating the marriage, Fu Shiyan's face darkened and he called two secret guards.
Let them follow Xu Jinyi secretly, protect her, and disrupt her meeting with Lin Ze as inconspicuously as possible.
The guards were a little confused. It was already strange to ask them to protect a woman, and now they were given such a strange task.
You are destroying the relationship between couples. I hope you will be struck by thunder today.
However, the two did not dare to object and agreed immediately.
Then Fu Shiyan called Sun Defu in again: "The Ministry of Household Affairs seems to be a little busy recently, let them update all the household registration information."
Sun Defu was stunned. "All? Do you mean the past five years?"
"I heard that Minister Lin is quite capable, so let him do it. Have him update all the household registration information within a month. I want to know the current population."
Sun Defu was confused: "One month?"
Can the national population household registration update be done?
Fu Shiyan glanced over, and Sun Defu immediately lowered his head: "Yes, I will go to the Ministry of Revenue to inform you tomorrow morning."
"Go now. I heard that Lord Lin is on duty tonight."
Sun Defu was now certain that Minister Lin was in trouble and must be on the emperor's radar.
I don't know what he did to be so unlucky.
