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

"If we're not meeting, what are you doing in such a dangerous place?"

Xiao Wang couldn't understand it at all.

Li Xiaoyu grinned and said, "Come over if you want to. Just let me know whether you are going or not."

Seeing that she didn't give a direct answer, Xiao Wang didn't ask any more questions.

He quickly replied, “Go ahead.”

"Okay, we'll leave in two days."

The army needed to be reorganized, and Li Guangchang was also preparing to go home. He and Xiaoyu both left the army.

When they were about to part, he asked reluctantly, "Xiao Yu, are you really not going home?"

Li Xiaoyu sat on the horse's back, carrying the bag she had brought with her. She smiled and said, "I'll go back, but not now."

"Then when will you come back?"

Hearing this, the woman paused and said apologetically: "I don't know the exact time, but I will go home as soon as possible."

With these words, Li Guangchang felt a little more at ease.

He advised: "Then be careful on the road, and when you are stable, send a letter home to let them know you are safe."

"I know, brother, please drive slowly."

"I know, you do too."

Watching his elder brother getting on the carriage heading home, Li Xiaoyu waved to Xiao Wang.

"Let's go."

Winter was coming, and the two of them, wearing thick clothes, rode their horses to a village according to the address given by Jing Hanzhi.

The person who opened the door was a doorman who was guarding the house.

Hearing that they were looking for Mr. Han, the doorman looked at them warily.

Li Xiaoyu handed him the letter from Jing Hanzhi. The doorman was surprised when he saw the letter: "It turned out to be a recommendation letter written by him."

Seeing the doorman so surprised, Li Xiaoyu lowered his eyes.

Confusedly asked: "Excuse me, is there a problem?"

The doorman returned the letter to her without revealing anything, but said respectfully: "Mr. Han has already gone to the Imperial City to take up his post. You can take this letter to the Imperial City to find him."

When he heard about the imperial city, Xiao Wang was thinking about another thing.

If the need arises, I can ask Luo Feng for help.

Seeing that Li Xiaoyu had no intention of asking the prince for help, he temporarily suppressed the idea.

He was thinking about going to the Imperial City to seek help from his partners. What Li Xiaoyu was thinking was that Guokui could finally be driven into the Imperial City.

After receiving the reply, she nodded politely and prepared to leave.

Before she left, the doorman asked them to wait for a moment, went back and got them something belonging to Mr. Han, and reminded them: "If the butler doesn't let you in, give this to him, and the butler will know at a glance."

After taking the wooden sign, Li Xiaoyu nodded and thanked him.

"Thank you."

Hearing this, the doorman wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he held back and waved his hands repeatedly, "It's getting dark, you guys should leave quickly."

Bow again and say goodbye.

Instead of going the same way they came, they chose to take another route.

It got colder as the evening approached. Passing by a forest, the chill was particularly strong. Li Xiaoyu looked sideways and discovered a cemetery nearby.

Many family tombs are surrounded by walls, but this one does not.

She had good eyesight, and when she saw a name engraved on a slate-colored tombstone, she was suddenly startled.

He pulled the reins to stop the horse.

When I rode up to the tomb, I saw the words "My wife Han" engraved on the tombstone, and three words "Respectfully Hanzhi" engraved on the corner of the tombstone.

Her scalp felt numb.

After patiently reading the words on the tombstone, she suddenly understood.

Jing Hanzhi's late wife was Han Lao's granddaughter...

No wonder he asked her to keep the letter when she said goodbye to him. At that time, she was curious about how he knew the officials of Lin'an State.

I get it now.

Xiao Wang in front saw her stop and turned to shout at her: "Xiao Yu, if you don't leave now, it will be dark."

After collecting her thoughts, she loudly replied with two words: "Coming."

Waving the reins, "Hurry~"

Following her voice, the horse ran forward, and when it was about to turn around the woods, she couldn't help but look back.

He took a deep breath, looked back, and continued on his journey.

It was snowing heavily when we arrived at the imperial city.

The two found an inn to stay in. It was easy to feel sleepy in winter. Li Xiaoyu said that Xiao Wang had agreed not to go out today, so they went back to their rooms to sleep.

Just after lying down and taking a nap, she rolled over and sat up.

After thinking about it, I decided not to waste time.

Thinking of not disturbing Xiao Wang's rest, she took her things and went out by herself.

The imperial city is larger than the county towns in the north and Shu. Li Xiaoyu asked as he walked and found the Han Mansion.

The guard at the door saw a woman dressed simply.

I didn't make things difficult for her, but I didn't notify the housekeeper either.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoyu stood aside and waited. She put her hands into her sleeves, sat in front of the stone steps, and just sat there waiting.

She sat there for two hours.

It was so cold that she was freezing just standing there, let alone sitting down. I don’t know if there was a layer of ice on her butt.

The two guards looked at each other and kindly reminded her.

"Miss, the housekeeper is out on business and will probably be back very late. Don't wait for him and go back."

Li Xiaoyu also has a stubborn personality.

She smiled generously and said, "It's okay, I'll wait a little longer."

She had already waited for several hours, so she didn't think it was a big deal to wait a few more hours.

She waited for several more hours.

It was not until 2:15 past midnight that a carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the mansion. Hearing the sound, Li Xiaoyu hurriedly brushed off the snow on his head.

Her feet felt numb after sitting for so long.

As he followed the guards forward, he tripped over his left foot and almost fell.

Mr. Han was an honest man. He saw the girl at the door as soon as he got off the carriage.

The guard told him about Li Xiaoyu, and dismissed the servants around him. The old man asked her kindly, "Miss, what do you want to see Han for?"

Li Xiaoyu also doesn't understand the rules of big cities.

He could only nod politely, then took out the letter of recommendation and the wooden plaque from his pocket.

She offered it with both hands, bowed her head, and said in a hoarse voice full of respect: "I want to work as a painter in the Ministry of Justice. Please recommend me, Mr. Han."

Hearing this, the people around were surprised and couldn't help laughing.

It’s not that they are impolite, it’s just that I have never seen such a bold person, let alone heard such bold words.

He took the two things from her hands and handed the wooden sign to the servant.

Mr. Han didn't go in either. He opened the letter in front of her and read the contents.

Mr. Han fell into deep thought.

He looked at the woman in front of him who had graceful manners and fluent speech, and thought of the policies formulated by Gu Fei, one of which had never been implemented.

The woman's ears were found to be red from the cold.

He said kindly, "Miss Li, please leave your address and go back to rest. I will send someone to invite you to my house in two days."

Hearing this, Li Xiaoyu realized that there was hope.

She suppressed her joy and thanked Mr. Han without changing her expression.

"Thank you, Mr. Han."

"Someone, send this girl back."

Li Xiaoyu thanked him politely: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Han. I can go back by myself. You can go back and have a rest."

Going to court is just like going to work.

Looking at Old Han’s gray hair and beard, he is still busy with various affairs.

Li Xiaoyu didn't know whether Mr. Han felt tired or not.

Anyway, as a corporate slave, she feels tired just by looking at her.

Watching the woman walk away in the snow, Mr. Han looked at the name written in the letter: Li Xiaoyu...

Why do I seem to have heard this name somewhere before?
