Li Xiaoyu grasped the key point of the words. She spoke in a calm voice, saying the two words very slowly.

"Rumors?"

The master nodded. It was not a secret, so he told her without hiding it.

"Well, it was spread from the Imperial City. I don't know whether it's true or not, and those who have heard it don't dare to discuss it openly."

Li Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows slightly. People were afraid of him wherever he went.

After thinking for a moment, he asked again: "What is the status of the Fu family?"

"The Prime Minister's Mansion was ransacked ten years ago."

There was regret in the master's voice. Li Xiaoyu's life experience was too ordinary, and she was indescribably shocked to hear such a thing.

"They are all dead..."

Realizing that her expression was too revealing, she closed her wide mouth, adjusted her expression, and asked in a low voice: "Then we can discuss this in private, nothing will happen, right?"

The lawyer waved his folding fan.

"If I don't tell anyone, no one will know about our conversation today."

This sentence somewhat relaxed Li Xiaoyu's tense mood. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's OK as long as I'm alive."

Everyone wants to live, and no matter how upright the master is, he is no exception.

In order to prevent Li Xiaoyu from doing anything that would anger Gu Fei, he said to her earnestly:

"From the moment he asked the county magistrate to register your household registration under his name, the county magistrate, you and I have been in the same boat. If he dies, we will die too. Only if he lives can we hope to survive."

As the two were talking, they didn't notice that there was a bird with inconspicuous feathers on the roof of the room where they were chatting.

After hearing this, Li Xiaoyu understood the twists and turns.

Gu Fei took advantage of all three of them.

She frowned, her expression darkened, "If he doesn't leave, then the three of us will have to live with our heads hanging on our belts, right?"

"You are the one who lives with your head off your belt. The county magistrate and I may have a way out, but you don't."

The meaning of the words was clear. If Gu Fei couldn't survive, the two of them would more or less have a way to protect themselves.

However, her registered residence was with Gu Fei, so no one would believe her even if she changed sides.

She had no choice but to do it.

After saying goodbye to her master, Li Xiaoyu left the county town dejectedly. She should have been happy about selling the pot cakes, but she was not happy at all.

Walking on the road, she looked up at the blue sky and shouted in a rhythmic voice: "What a sin~"

Ever since Gu Fei's showdown, her life has been like walking on the edge of a knife, and her head is no different from being hung on the belt of her pants.

It doesn't matter if you say you are not afraid of death.

But she is a person who cherishes life and always thinks that as long as she is alive, everything will be fine.

With another sigh, she stepped into the village.

On the road, some villagers who were not doing farm work gathered in groups of three or four to chat. When they saw Li Xiaoyu and the others, they began to tease them.

"Xiaoyu, your brother just wanted to eat a pot cake, but you charged him money. That's really not fair."

"That's right. Not only did you not give it to me, but you also hit me."

"That's right. You have a blind cripple in your family, but you still have a good relationship with your brother. I see your father has brought a lot of good things to the house recently, and they will all belong to your brother in the future."

"My child, you are too greedy. If I were you, I would treat your brother well. At least he can give you a piece of meat in the future."

"You only have one brother, and you will have to rely on him in the future."

"That's right, you're too fussy."

Listening to them talking one after another, Li Xiaoyu frowned slightly.

She glanced in the direction of the Li family, then looked away and looked at the villagers who liked to listen to gossip.

She walked forward and squeezed out a place among them.

He sat down, clapped his hands on his knees, and acted as if he was filled with deep resentment.

"Hey, uncles and aunts, I don't know where you heard this. You all know that I am a stingy person. If he is not stingy with me, how can I treat him like this?"

When everyone heard her say this, they knew something was wrong.

Apart from farm work and some entertainment at night, chatting is one of their few entertainments.

Everyone pricked up their ears and urged her to speak out.

"What did your brother do to you?"

"Tell your uncles and aunts, we will help you make the decision."

Li Xiaoyu knew exactly what these people were thinking. Li Guangchang and his wife loved to spread rumors.

Then let it spread throughout the village.

Anyway, I'm not afraid of losing face.

She told them the story of the mung bean cake with exaggeration, and deliberately said it was the size of a fingernail instead of the size of a fingernail.

"Damn it, what a stingy man and woman."

"They charge two cents for a green bean cake the size of a fingernail. They're just robbing me. I won't even eat it if I give it to a thief."

Li Xiaoyu sighed heavily and covered his face with his hands. It was so painful.

"My uncle and aunt told me not to be so fussy. You don't know that every time he bought something to eat from the city, I would always ask him for a little."

"He asked me to give him money. Tell me, which brother is like him?"

She raised her head and pointed to the end of the village, where a family lived. "That's Wang Qian. He also knows to sell things and buy food to give to his brothers and sisters."

Wang Qian is about the same age as my elder sister and is also very handsome.

He had left the village to work a long time ago, but no one knew what happened outside. When he was sent back, he had become a fool.

Not long after he came back, his parents passed away one after another, leaving behind a pair of twins who looked almost the same as Lin Ting.

Seeing her sighing, someone agreed, "That's right, Wang Qian, a fool, knows how to take care of his brothers and sisters, so your brother is still normal."

"Who says it isn't?"

Having said this, Li Xiaoyu slowly stood up and said goodbye to them with a sigh.

As for how they would spread the news, what would it sound like to Li Guangchang and Sun Cuicui?

Then she has no right to control it.

I was humming a little tune all the way home, and I found a few sparrow-like birds perched on the thatched hut.

As soon as she opened the door, several birds flew away.

It was only a quarter past noon, so the parrot was naturally not at home. Gu Fei was sitting alone on a bench in the main room.

His head was slightly lowered, and a cold and gloomy aura enveloped his body, like a piece of jade that had not seen the light of day for a long time, which made people feel chilly just by looking at it.

Li Xiaoyu didn't know what happened to him.

He put the backpack in the corner, turned around and walked towards the main room, stepped one foot into the room and smiled embarrassedly.

"Oh, look at my poor memory. I actually forgot to buy paper."

She looked towards where Gu Fei was sitting. In the drawer of the table there were the eleven paintings he had drawn, plus the previous one.

You need to find a special box to hold the paintings.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Gu Fei narrowed her eyes slightly and looked in the direction of the voice.

His expression was gentle, and his thin lips curled into a gentle smile: "Are the Guokui selling well?"

He smiled sweetly and gently, and his tone was gentle.

If you ignore the little canine tooth he showed, Li Xiaoyu would feel like he was bathed in spring breeze.

Her heart suddenly sank and she suddenly felt a chill on her neck.

She raised her eyes and stared at the man, and saw that his lazy eyes were just fixed on her neck.
