Fulai Inn
"Your Highness, will she come?"
After the guards finished checking her in, they followed behind Shui Rong and asked with some concern, "Is Miss Shen now the wife of the Lin family?"
"Why don't you come? That's Master Shen's jade pendant. She's his daughter. There's no reason she wouldn't recognize him. Just wait."
Shui Rong couldn't help but chuckle softly at the thought of that interesting girl swallowing her pride and begging him in front of him. Perhaps if he was happy, he might let Lin Ruhai off the hook.
Thinking of this, Shui Rong waved his hand, "Have you found the person?"
The subordinate shook his head. "I am incompetent. Perhaps he has already perished in the belly of a fish."
Shui Rong snorted coldly, "Impossible. Send more men. We need to see him alive or dead. The seal on his body cannot be lost!"
The subordinate bowed his head and responded, then hurriedly left.
Shui Rong fiddled with the tea and snacks in front of her for a while, pondering what to do next.
"Sir, someone requests an audience."
Shui Rong smiled, put down her teacup, stood up, straightened her clothes, and said with a smile, "Please come in."
"yes."
Look, they arrived in less than half an hour, hahaha...
Shui Rong was taken aback. How could it be him?!
"Why is it you?"
Lin Ruhai bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Your Highness!"
"Is Your Highness waiting for someone?"
Shui Rong tightened her grip on the water glass, finding Lin Ruhai increasingly unpleasant and annoying. "Lord Lin is truly blessed to have survived all this!"
Lin Ruhai sneered inwardly, "That's no reason for you to stop my carriage!"
Besides, what kind of broken jade pendant would you give me? I'd rather give you a piece of pastry.
When Lin Ruhai heard from his subordinate that his wife had it thrown away after just one glance, he laughed so hard he couldn't stand up straight. His wife was no ordinary woman.
"Thanks to Your Highness's mercy."
"Did the prince receive an imperial decree to leave the capital?"
Shui Rong's face stiffened. She took a deep breath and thought, "I'll kill him sooner or later!"
"Naturally, the Emperor Emeritus was missing one ingredient in the medicine he needed, so he sent me to search for it along the way."
Lin Ruhai understood. This was a brilliant move. He was afraid that the medicinal ingredient was his lifeline. "Have you found it?"
Shui Rong chuckled, "Of course not!"
Haha, I'll kill you on the way back to Beijing!
After speaking in official language for a while, Lin Niruhai got up to take his leave.
Angrily, Shui Dong smashed the entire teacup set. "Where is she?"
A subordinate rushed in from outside, "Your Highness, the person is gone...gone."
"Lin Ruhai!"
...
Lin Ruhai listened to the sound of teacups shattering upstairs, looked up, and thought, "The weather is really nice today."
Tell your wife there's no need to worry.
When Shen Ajiao received Lin Ruhai's message, he was about to arrive in the capital. He had been in a hurry and had no peace when he left, but now that he was coming back, he was naturally taking his time.
Shen Ajiao lay comfortably in the carriage, chatting and eating with Lin Daiyu, while Lin Baobao multitasked, chatting, reading, and playing chess at the same time.
At this moment, a group of carriages walked up from behind, and a pregnant woman stepped down. A maidservant stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, is this the Lin family's carriage?"
"Indeed." The servant of the Lin family felt that the pregnant lady resembled his wife somewhat, and after thinking for a moment, he hurriedly went to report.
"Somewhat similar to me?"
Who is it? The only person in the world who looks like her is her twin sister, Shen Qin'er.
What is she doing here?
After putting on her shoes and socks, Shen Ajiao peeked out from the carriage and saw that it was indeed Shen Qin'er!
She looks like she's already showing, about four or five months pregnant. How fast?
Looking at my flat stomach, slender waist, and graceful figure, wow! May we both stay eighteen forever, young and beautiful!
"So it's the older sister~" Ever since Shen Ajiao and Shen Qin'er switched marriages, on the surface, Shen Ajiao is the younger sister and Shen Qin'er is the older sister.
"younger sister!"
Shen Qin'er looked at Shen Ajiao who was getting off the carriage, and walked forward with her hand on her waist. "I thought I was seeing things, but it really is you!"
"hehe."
You've been looking for me so long you're almost cross-eyed, how could you not see me?
"Why did my sister come to the capital?" It wouldn't make sense if she were pregnant and went to the capital without a reason.
Before she could speak, tears streamed down her face, a hint of triumph flashing in Shen Qin'er's eyes. "Sister, please accept my condolences."
"But after only a year, your husband... Waaah, my poor sister."
Good heavens, thank goodness for Xie Guangkun!
【Are you here to mourn for me?】
"What are you saying, little sister?" Shen Ajiao asked, giving her a look that said, "What's wrong with you?"
Shen Qin'er choked, "My sister might not know, but I heard on my way here..."
"I heard my master died?"
After Shen Ajiao finished speaking for Shen Qin'er, she smiled and said, "Sister, you saw it with your own eyes?"
"Or did you participate?"
Shen Qin'er was startled by Shen Ajiao's gaze and took a half step back, but was supported by her maid. "Sister, I'm here to tell you that you need to..."
"Alright, alright, there are no outsiders here, and we don't need these things. Just tell us honestly what you're here for." Shen Ajiao looked around. There were no outsiders here, so why pretend?
Shen Qin'er glared at Shen Ajiao and said, "My dear sister, you don't know, do you? Your good husband is going to die. I came to tell you in advance."
"Oh, you're not pretending anymore? I understand, you can go now."
Shen Qin'er looked at Shen Ajiao's indifferent expression and felt something was wrong. Why wasn't this person as she had imagined? She didn't kneel down and beg her. Was she really indifferent?
"You're going to be a widow? Let's see who will protect you then!" When the news of Lin Ruhai's death reaches us, that will be your death day too!
"Oh, you were a widow?"
"Shen Ajiao!" Shen Qin'er was furious. How dare he curse her!
"No, how do you know a widow has no one to protect her? Could it be—" Shen Ajiao exclaimed deliberately, "that your husband is gone too?"
"Oh, my poor sister! She was pregnant, and her husband's family kept a mistress outside the marriage. She died there. My poor dear sister!"
Shen Qin'er stared wide-eyed, pointing at Shen Ajiao for a long time without being able to speak. The people around stopped to watch the commotion, and upon hearing Shen Ajiao's words, immediately felt sorry for Shen Qin'er.
"How pitiful, she looks pregnant."
"Young ones, widowed, tsk tsk tsk..."
...
"No, you've misunderstood! It's not my husband who's gone, it's her!" Shen Qin'er shouted, pointing at Shen Ajiao. "It's her husband who's dead! It's hers, not me!"
With tears in her eyes, Shen Ajiao cried out, "Sister, please wake up!"
Passersby also shook their heads.
"She's gone mad from the shock. You must take good care of this lady, she's so pitiful!"
Passersby shook their heads and dispersed, their eyes filled with pity, sighing repeatedly, "Poor thing, so pitiful..."
Shen Qin'er stomped her feet in anger, "Shen Ajiao!"
Shen Ajiao rubbed her ears. "I can hear my crazy sister~"
