Substitute Bride: The Gentle Husband of the Evil Girl is Crazy and Wild

There are some things that the master is reluctant to talk about too much, so he first glanced at the people on the street.

In a voice that only the two of them could hear, he said to Li Xiaoyu: "The youngest son of the late emperor, his achievements are so great that they frighten the emperor."

A simple sentence reveals Gu Fei's origin.

Li Xiaoyu's eyes were shocked, and his hands unconsciously tightened the rope of the backpack.

It’s not that she hasn’t thought about Gu Fei’s identity, but the facts prove that her imagination is not rich enough.

He is actually...the prince.

His achievements are so great that they threaten his master... No wonder he is so calm even though his body is in such a state.

Seeing her standing there in shock, the master reminded her, "Miss Li, since ancient times, the struggles among the royal family have brought suffering to the people. You must not offend him, or you will lose your life."

The master's words were well-intentioned.

Although Shu is far away from the Central Plains, the right and wrong of the imperial city has basically nothing to do with them.

Usually, by the time the news of the change of imperial power reaches them, the emperor has already been sitting on the throne for more than half a year.

When the county magistrate received the notice that Gu Fei was exiled here, he had already arrived in Shu.

The county magistrate valued talent, and even though Gu Fei suffered serious physical injuries, he always believed that such a gifted child would not die like this.

When one falls from a high position, one's temperament will inevitably become strange.

Someone above them was keeping an eye on him and the county magistrate, so they couldn't openly take care of Gu Fei in many things. They could only hope that Li Xiaoyu would take care of her and be more tolerant.

For this, he said a few more words.

"Three years ago, several other countries took advantage of his presence at the border and suddenly sent troops to besiege Lin'an, nearly destroying the country."

"It was he who led the troops to turn the tide and saved the Lin'an Kingdom single-handedly."

Hearing this, Li Xiaoyu was so shocked that he was speechless.

He was only...eighteen years old at that time!

She blinked rapidly, shocked, and then realized that the first question was, "He must be very famous if his achievements are so great that they threaten his master."

"Why don't most of us here know about him?"

Seeing the curious look on the little girl's face, the master took a sip of tea slowly, and then said, "Drinking tea, smoking dry tobacco, and chatting, which one is not more relaxing than talking about imperial power, something that can cost you your life."

"Besides, our information is blocked. Over time, as long as the war doesn't happen here, no one will care about these things."

In fact, it is a people’s livelihood issue.

Shu is a large area, and the situation in each place is different. Although Dawan County is not very wealthy, life is acceptable.

It is difficult for people outside to come in, and it is also difficult for people inside to go out.

"If we can be self-sufficient, who cares about what's happening outside? We should just take care of our own business."

Who knows, one day, the brothers will start fighting first.

Listening to the master's patient explanation, Li Xiaoyu nodded thoughtfully.

She thought about it and realized that what he said was correct.

He smiled and nodded to the master, "Master, please enjoy your tea. I'm leaving first."

"Be careful on the road."

On the way back, Li Xiaoyu kept thinking about what his master said.

She picked up a piece of wild grass and put it in her mouth, then she remembered what the village chief said about Gu Fei not being a person who would kill innocent people.

She looked up at the sky, clasped her hands behind her head, and bit the wild grass in her mouth.

A breeze blew, and she seemed to see the cotton-like white clouds in the sky move forward a little, and the image of Gu Fei playing with his right fingers emerged in her mind.

The right hand that once swung the sword to kill the enemy can no longer lift the sword.

Spitting out the weeds in her mouth, she pursed her lips, hummed, shook her head and sighed: "What a sin."

I pushed the door open and looked over. Gu Fei was sitting on the doorstep again, his left hand still pinching his right fingers and twisting them.

He lowered his head, his face showing no emotion.

Looking at his puppet-like knuckles, Li Xiaoyu closed the door and asked softly, "Don't keep playing with your fingers. I bought some paper. You can draw in the main room when you're bored."

Gu Fei couldn't see it, but he knew that in the eyes of others, he looked like a madman when he played with his fingers.

A deep voice said indifferently: "It's all used up."

Li Xiaoyu put the backpack on the steps. Seeing that he was still playing with his fingers, she shook her head helplessly.

Let him go.

"So fast?"

As she spoke, she walked into the main room and saw more than a dozen pieces of paper on the bench, each with a different landscape painting.

She counted them and found there were eleven pieces of paper in total.

At five cents a piece, he would have to be given fifty cents.

He put the painting into the drawer of the table and said happily, "This can be sold for at least fifty coins. I will sell it at the market on the seventh day of the first lunar month."

While speaking, Gu Fei's thin lips moved: "Where have you been?"

His voice was low and cold, without a trace of emotion. Li Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and replied casually: "I'm going to the city to buy ingredients for frying oil cakes."

Hearing this, the man's voice softened a little, and he said, "Tell me where you're going next time."

Listening to him calmly saying strange words, Li Xiaoyu's eyes were slightly stunned.

She stared at him with confused eyes as he stood up and limped into the room. She raised an eyebrow and scratched behind her ear with her small hand.

He tilted his head to look into the room, his brows furrowed even more.

Not understanding the situation, he muttered quietly, "Why should I tell him where I'm going?"

The mosquito-sized sound was still heard by the man, and the next moment, a low and cold voice came into her ears.

"You can choose not to tell me, and I can choose not to teach you about the portrait."

When she heard the word "portrait", Li Xiaoyu's scalp suddenly went numb. She ran to the door of the room and stared at Gu Fei in astonishment.

"You knew I was in town?"

Gu Fei leaned against the bed, closed her eyes and dozed off, her thin lips spilling out a few words: "I don't know."

"Then why do you..." Before Li Xiaoyu could finish the next few words, the man explained indifferently: "You haven't completed the new portrait assignment you took half a month ago."

After hearing this, Li Xiaoyu realized that what he said was just a coincidence.

Speaking of portraits, her head hurts.

Thinking of what the master said, she stared at the man, walked to the bed and sat down with a smile.

She reached out and gently tugged at Gu Fei's sleeve, and said with a shy smile, "Husband, please do me a favor."

"No help."

Gu Fei knew what she wanted to ask for, so he waved his arm and shook off the woman's hand.

Face means nothing compared to five taels of silver.

Just be shameless.

Li Xiaoyu sat forward a little, grabbed Gu Fei's sleeves with both hands, and shook her left and right like a spoiled child.

The slightly hoarse voice was as sweet and sticky as honey: "Husband, please help me. I can buy you a lot of good things with the five taels of silver I earn."

When Gu Fei heard her shameless coquettishness, he felt as disgusted as if he heard a parrot speaking in repetitive words.

He shook her arm off again, and his voice suddenly became several degrees colder: "Li Xiaoyu, be normal."

"Okay, okay, I'll be normal," she pursed her lips.

If you refuse to listen when I talk to you normally, I will have to use extraordinary measures.

Gu Fei didn't ask her about the details of the portrait, but just asked calmly: "Where are you going next time? Tell me?"

"Speak, speak, speak. I must speak." Li Xiaoyu smiled mischievously. "Husband, I have to go to the toilet now. Do I need to report to you?"

As soon as these words came out, Gu Fei's face suddenly turned gloomy.

He spat out one word coldly: "Get lost."
