Chapter 123 Betrothal to Jinlan
The mention of changing the medicine at this time naturally meant that Xu Shuhe wanted to apply medicine to him.

Xu Shuhe is not stupid, so how could he not understand the meaning of the words?

I just didn't know for a moment whether Chen Zhi did it on purpose, or I didn't think applying medicine was such an embarrassing thing.

Still feeling confused, Xu Shuhe didn't think much about it. He agreed and went to wash up quickly.

A good day starts with changing the dressing.

For the first time, Chen Zhi felt that getting hurt was not necessarily a bad thing.

After changing the medicine, the two sat down to have breakfast, and the smile on his face never faded.

The more he laughed, the more confused Xu Shuhe felt. She tried hard to recall if she had made any fool of herself before sleeping last night that made this guy hold back his laughter so hard.

After a lot of recollection, I couldn't remember anything, so I just gave up.

Well, being thicker-skinned will make life easier.

Fortunately, they don’t have to be alone together today, as she is going to meet Lin Jinyi.

So after breakfast, he immediately went out with his things.

Chen Zhi was in a good mood. The more he looked at Xu Shuhe's panic, the cuter he found her. After everyone had left, he was alone in the room looking at the account book. Thinking of what happened last night, he laughed out loud from time to time.

The maids serving in the room were all confused.

I thought, why is the account book so beautiful?
On the other side, Xu Shuhe finally calmed down after seeing Lin Jinyi.

The two asked each other about their recent situation before sitting down and chatting over tea.

"That Miss Huang, how did you arrange it?"

It was just mentioned yesterday, and Xu Shuhe still remembered it in his mind, so he asked about it as the first question.

"She didn't leave. She works in a shop under my name. The shop is in the capital. She just left for it yesterday." Lin Jinyi answered, and then laughed at the end, "I see that she is now free from the shackles and is much more open-minded. There is a relaxed look on her face. By the way, she also changed her surname. From now on, she will take her biological mother's surname Guo."

"This can be considered a new life. It's good to be separated from the past." Xu Shuhe nodded approvingly.

Lin Jinyi also nodded, "Yes, she also told me that if possible in the future, she would like to be her own boss. She is an ambitious girl, and she suits my personality."

"There are many unfair restrictions on women in the world nowadays, and it is remarkable if they have the desire to resist," said Xu Shuhe.

After taking a sip of tea, he talked about his plans again, "In the future, I may have to open a store in Kyoto. What about you? Do you plan to continue to develop in Qizhou first, or go back? Beijing is your territory."

"Please don't say it. My father sent me a letter urging me to go back. I don't know who told my parents what happened recently. They are very worried and afraid that something bad will happen to me. They have sent me several letters in succession during this period of time, urging me to go back."

Speaking of this, Lin Jinyi seemed a little annoyed.

The reason she came to Qizhou was to get rid of her father's protection and to make her own way.

Xu Shuhe heard something else. "Your uncle has urged you several times, but you never told me. You can't let them worry. Even if you want to continue to stay in Qizhou to do business, you should go back to Beijing and let them see you so that they can feel at ease."

The Lin family has only one daughter, Lin Jinyi, so they must be very worried about her.

"You are caught in a storm, and I am the only one with you. What will you do if I just leave? I can't do such an disloyal thing." Lin Jinyi said seriously.

Hearing this, Xu Shuhe was deeply moved.

After being in this world for so long, Lin Jinyi is truly the first true friend she has made.

"What can I say? You treat me so kindly. I really want to become sworn brothers with you!" "That's exactly what I want." Lin Jin smiled cheerfully. "I don't have any brothers or sisters. My cousins ​​all think that I'm too wild and like to mess around outside. They don't like to play with me. I think you and I have similar personalities. It would be great if we could become sworn brothers!"

As she spoke, she became serious and immediately wanted to write a letter back to the capital to tell her parents that she wanted to find a sister in Qizhou.

"This is not a coincidence. I am the only daughter in the family. My mother wishes to have more daughters to add to the fun." Xu Shuhe was really happy about it.

The two girls said this casually, but they actually took it seriously.

Having said this, Lin Jinyi thought of another thing, "I have good news here, I promise you will be happy to hear it."

"Hurry up and tell me." Xu Shuhe motioned for her to continue.

"I'm afraid your stepmother-in-law won't live for many days. I heard from the prison that she was sentenced to death and there was no possibility of overturning the verdict. She was frightened and fell ill. She has had a high fever for the past few days and is now unconscious."

Lin Jinyi's subordinates heard the news and told her last night.

After hearing this, Xu Shuhe's face turned cold, "You will suffer for your own sins."

"That's right." Lin Jin nodded and finally asked, "How did you deal with your husband's illegitimate son?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"I didn't take it away. I left it to the Chen family."

When talking about this child, Xu Shuhe's face showed a hint of sarcasm.

"Besides, that's not my husband's child, it's his second brother's. Back then, his second brother got a maid pregnant, and it was close to his wedding. My mother-in-law was afraid that it would affect her own son's marriage, so she designed a plan to make my husband think that she had an affair with the maid, and stuffed the pregnant maid into my husband's house. I raised a concubine and son for so many years in vain."

Xu Shuhe had never told Lin Jinyi about these things. After being told now, Lin Jinyi was shocked.

After a while, he recovered and said, "That Feng family is too sinister. They really hurt people everywhere. They really should be killed!"

"That's right. The day I got married, I was so angry when I found out he had such a big illegitimate son." Xu Shuhe rolled his eyes.

Speaking of this, she felt somehow happy that Chen Zhi did not have an affair with other women.

Maybe it's possessiveness?

She muttered to herself, even if they were a fake couple, they were still a couple. Besides, she and Chen Zhi were not fake.

This emotion lingered in her heart, distracting her for a moment, until Lin Jin called her, she came back to her senses.

"The weather has been getting colder recently. People are saying that there might be a late spring cold snap. It's going to snow heavily. This kind of weather is the most frightening. If it gets serious, I don't know how many people will freeze to death. Crops won't grow well and the harvest will be ruined."

Lin Jinyi sighed and continued.

"I heard that it has snowed in some places. Many people have been affected by the disaster. Some have begun to flee to Qizhou and the capital."

"I haven't paid attention to this, but it's true that it hasn't gotten warmer even though spring has arrived." Xu Shuhe responded.

But she couldn't say anything more. After all, in the world she used to live in, she had never seen such a thing as a late spring cold snap freezing people to death, and she couldn't imagine what it would be like to freeze people to death.

Nowadays, people are relatively well-off and no one suffers from cold or hunger.

Therefore, this topic did not last long and they started talking about other things.

I stayed at Lin Jinyi's place for most of the day and left in the afternoon.

However, it was on the way back that Xu Shuhe saw the disaster victims from other places that Lin Jin mentioned.
