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

"of course."

Li Xiaoyu smiled and touched the little guy's head, urging him: "Write quickly, I still have to go back and be busy."

Gu Lin muttered to himself as he wrote.

No wonder they fell in love, they can be scary when they go crazy.

After he finished writing, Li Xiaoyu rolled up the imperial edict, said a few words to the little guy, and then left.

Luo Feng had to protect the safety of the palace, and he couldn't hide the fact that the princess came to the palace from him.

Watching her leave, he pretended to have something to report to Gu Lin. After reporting to the little guy, he pretended to ask questions that he didn't understand, but Gu Lin brushed him off with a few words.

He promised his elder sister to keep it a secret, so he definitely won't tell anyone.

The little guy left proudly.

Seeing his appearance, Luo Feng couldn't help but complain in his heart: It seems that I can only wait for the prince to come back.

After settling down in Jiaochang County, Li Xiaoyu reported to the government office every day and worked when necessary. When she had nothing to do, she would go to the homes of nearby lantern makers to inquire.

The craft of making box lights is difficult, and only a very few people know how to do it.

Li Xiaoyu learned from one of the elderly couples. The elderly couple's children all had their own families and careers, and they also had land.

There was not much demand for money, and only a small amount of silver was collected as tuition.

She went to the yamen to work during the day, and left early in the afternoon to go to the old man's house to learn how to make lanterns. She would bring some food to the old man's house every few days.

In terms of social etiquette, she has maintained it very well.

Xiao Wang wanted to help, but Li Xiaoyu stopped him: "You don't have to follow me around every day. Use the rest of your time to do something you like."

"What do I like?"

This question stumped Xiao Wang, and he looked at the woman in confusion.

"But I... don't have anything I like."

"Then go find it."

From then on, Li Xiaoyu learned to make lanterns, while Xiao Wang went to find things he liked. They had the New Year’s Eve dinner in the palace and celebrated the New Year with the little emperor.

After the New Year, my family lost things for a long time.

Looking at the people queuing up to report cases, the people in the yamen were so busy that they didn't even have time to drink a sip of water.

It’s already the fifteenth day of the lunar year when we’re busy.

There is a lantern festival on the Lantern Festival. For fear of any incidents, all the people in the government office are mobilized. Li Xiaoyu also puts on special clothes and patrols with everyone holding a sword.

There is a female painter in Jiaochang County, and everyone in the county knows her.

So when they saw the women's expressions, they were not surprised at all, and some women even looked at them with envy.

Realizing that someone was looking at him, Li Xiaoyu turned his head to look over.

Seeing that it was a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes, who looked like a rich lady, she curled her lips and gave her a polite smile.

Seeing this, the woman showed a hint of surprise, then smiled at her.

There were people guessing riddles and performing acrobatics on the street. Looking at the flames rising high, Li Xiaoyu tucked his sword under his armpit, smiled and applauded.

It’s February in a blink of an eye.

She returned to her life of working during the day and learning to make lanterns at night.

Box lights are different from ordinary lanterns. They are complex and cumbersome, require very high craftsmanship, and most of them are still paper projects.

It was a cloudy day, and she went to the old couple's home to learn how to make lanterns. She sat on a small stool with her back to the door, holding long thin bamboo strips in both hands, and concentrating on learning by the light of an oil lamp.

Seeing how serious she was, the old woman placed a cup of hot water next to her.

He said kindly: "Little Fish, don't just focus on making lanterns, stop and have a rest and drink some water."

Li Xiaoyu raised his head and smiled at her: "Grandma, I know."

Looking at such a well-behaved girl, the old lady likes her very much. Even her wrinkles when she smiles seem to be very happy, as if she were her own child.

Helped her tidy up the loose hair hanging by her ears.

He said kindly, "Your uncle and I are going to deliver something to my second daughter. If you are tired, just close the door when you leave later."

Hearing this, Li Xiaoyu looked at the sky which was as gray as a pot.

He said with concern: "Grandma, it's getting dark, why don't you go and deliver it tomorrow, or I can help you."

The old lady appreciated her kindness.

He smiled and waved his hands, "She has given birth. The eggs must be delivered today. Your uncle and I are still strong, so we can go and deliver them."

The grandma and the uncle were very nice people, and Li Xiaoyu said a lot of nice things to them.

She tried to persuade them or to accompany them, but was rejected by the two.

The two of them thought that the child was very good, and their second son-in-law was a good-for-nothing, and they were worried that the child would be embarrassed.

So no matter what Li Xiaoyu said, they refused.

For this reason, Li Xiaoyu could only give up and sent them to the door. Watching them go away, she pursed her lips, took a deep breath, put her hands on her hips, shook her head, and then closed the door.

He returned to the fortress, drank a sip of water, and continued working.

This busy work took half an hour.

It was February, the weather was cool, and even cooler in the evening. The wind blew in gusts, but Li Xiaoyu was so focused on her work that she didn't notice anything.

At this moment, a creaking sound came from the door.

Hearing the slow footsteps, she thought it was grandma and the others coming back, so she didn't look back.

He looked down at the bamboo piece that was less than a finger's length left in his hand.

His lips parted, and he shouted enthusiastically in a steady voice, "Grandma, please get me a piece of bamboo in the yard."

After he finished speaking, the sound of bamboo cracking was heard in the yard.

As the footsteps approached, a cool breeze blew and she suddenly felt a little thirsty. She turned her head and picked up the cold water beside her and took a sip.

At this time, one stretched out from the side.

She put the cup down, looked to the left, smiled and prepared to say thank you.

The word "thank you" just came to my lips.

A slender hand with distinct joints came into her sight, and suddenly, a familiar cold breath rushed into her nose.

Her mind went blank.

That calm heart suddenly accelerated and beat uncontrollably.

The air seemed to stop at this moment.

In the quiet atmosphere, Li Xiaoyu could even hear his own heavier breathing.

She didn't know why, but her eyes suddenly felt a little sour.

She sniffed, pursed her lips and blinked her eyelashes quickly, bit her lower lip, and whispered two words: "Thank you."

Looking at the hand she stretched out, I noticed that her index finger was shaking.

Gu Fei lowered his eyes and stared at her profile, an indescribable complex emotion surged in his heart.

He wanted to ask a lot of questions, but at this moment, he couldn't find the right opening words.

After a moment's silence, he moved closer to her with his hand holding the bamboo.

The slender finger took the bamboo piece and accidentally touched the man's fingertips. Her fingertips were hot, while his were cold.

The moment we touched, it felt like a feather brushing across my heart.

It made her heart tremble violently, and ripples of numbness appeared.

Unlike her, Gu Fei took a deep breath. He wanted to hug her tightly in his arms, but he couldn't do that.

I can only curl up my five fingers little by little.

Then he put his hands behind his back and used his thumb to heavily rub the area of ​​skin that she had just touched.

Crush it little by little until the fingertips turn white.

Li Xiaoyu guessed that he would not be able to hide it sooner or later. He never thought that he would come back so early. Neither of them spoke. The atmosphere was quiet but not awkward.

Finally, the woman who didn't like silence broke the strange atmosphere.

She asked softly, "When did you come back?"
