After being wrongly married, I stabbed my husband to death and became famous throughout the world.

Li Shu ate with one hand and held a knife with the other, without interfering with either, and his eyes were full of sincerity as he looked at Li Chutian.

"After I was beaten that day, I felt like I had wasted the previous seventeen years of my life. My obedience only brought me humiliation. Since that's the case, from now on, I, Li Shu, will change!" Li Shu said indignantly, slamming the back of his knife on the table. "I've grown a rebellious bone!"

"..." Li Chutian's lips twitched, and he was furious.

He's got a rebellious streak; he's so stubborn that even his own father wouldn't recognize him!

"What kind of crazy behavior is this!" Li Chutian was both angry and helpless.

Unable to fight back or win an argument, Li Chutian suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness!

He used to think his daughter was dull, useless, and only brought shame upon him, but now he finds her shamelessness even more repulsive.

Li Chutian wanted to get angry, but after looking at the kitchen knife, he held back his temper.

The whole family was in a bad mood, except for Li Shu, who was in a good mood.

The next morning, Li Shu went out.

She always had to go out to explore the living environment and purchase enough supplies to protect herself.

Li Shu was initially worried that her fame would make it difficult for her to move around, but in fact, she was overthinking it. The original owner of this body didn't know many people, wore old clothes, and didn't like to talk to people, so no one paid any attention to her.

When she was released from prison, she had changed out of her wedding dress; Captain Ma had spent money to give her two new outfits.

She washed up and styled her hair neatly, looking completely refreshed. If no one in the town mentioned it, no one would recognize her as the infamous, pitiful girl who killed Qi Yanfeng.

Despite the widespread fame of his deeds, his face remains unknown.

With this, Li Shu felt even more at ease.

She started stuffing things into her space. This space was still, even more useful than a refrigerator. Having food on hand meant she wouldn't panic if she needed to do something bad or run away in the future, even if she didn't necessarily have to run...

Li Shu first went to the tailor shop and bought a veiled hat. Although not many people could recognize her at a glance, once she was recognized, she would definitely be pointed at and talked about.

After disguising himself, Li Shu first went to buy some grain. The price of grain in this town was relatively high, especially now that there were continuous battles and the army was consuming a lot of grain, so he heard that the price was two or three times higher than elsewhere.

Li Shu didn't understand those things; he only knew that no matter how expensive it was, he had to have food stored up. So he spent two taels of silver to buy three shi of rice, and another tael of silver to buy ten jin of salt and five jin of lard. He also prepared some steamed buns and other dry food for direct consumption.

There were quite a few vendors selling wild game in the town, and even some selling dead tigers, which broadened Li Shu's horizons.

It's a pity she didn't have much silver, otherwise she would have bought a tiger skin to wear and look impressive.

If she were to exchange all the silver in her hand for grain, it would be enough to eat for a long time, but for her, grain was not the most important thing.

She was injured and walked slowly, so it wasn't until the afternoon that she finally found the place selling weapons.

Fortunately, weapons are not prohibited in this town.

After all, if an enemy were to enter the pass, all the people would have to rise up to fight the enemy and save their lives. Therefore, bows, arrows, swords, spears, and even armor could be bought. Of course, the style of the weapons was completely different from that of the army, and the protective ability of the armor was also worse than that of the army.

She spent a long time choosing before buying a bow worth two taels of silver, but the arrows cost thirty coins each…

Li Shu gritted his teeth and bought a hundred of them, stuffing them all into his spatial storage.

Forty taels for soft armor? She doesn't deserve it.

She chose a goose-feather knife suitable for women, about 60 or 70 centimeters long, which could be used for killing or slashing when necessary. However, the workmanship was not fancy at all, and there was only a blood groove on the blade. There was no reverse edge, so the price was reasonable, asking for three taels and three hundred coins.

He only had five hundred coins left in his hand...

Li Shu was also worried. Her space was so big, how many things would she have to stuff in to fill it up?

It was still early, so she didn't rush home and went back to the grain store.

"Didn't the army come to collect grain this year? Could it be that the imperial court's grain supplies were prepared in a timely manner?" Li Shu leaned closer, then sighed, "If there's another battle ahead, the price of grain will probably rise again."

At this time of day, business in the shop has slowed down considerably.

Li Shu had just bought three shi of grain, and the shopkeeper remembered her, so he replied politely, "The imperial grain is usually transported here before winter, after the new harvest. In another month, the new grain will be available, and the price of the new grain will be higher..."

"However, things start to get a little unsettled after the new grain harvest each year," the shopkeeper added.

Winter is coming and going. Mountain bandits, soldiers at the border, and even wealthy families in the city will all be hoarding food. Some will buy it, while others will steal it. Ordinary people won't be able to get a chance to buy it later, so it's better to buy more old rice now and store it.

"I remember a few days ago, there were rumors in town that there was a bandit riot. Did anyone see it?" Li Shu asked again, taking out a steamed bun from his pocket, taking a bite himself, and handing one to the shopkeeper.

"..." The shopkeeper looked at the steaming hot buns and subconsciously took them.

Since they had already taken it, and it wasn't convenient to return it, they chatted with Li Shu: "We haven't seen a single one... It must have been a misreport. Tsk, just this one misreported message ruined the marriage of two women and even took a life! Bandits really do harm people!"

"Yes, yes, I've heard about it too. I heard that the Yao family girl had some good fortune and transformed into a member of the Ma family. Uncle shopkeeper, have you met the young master of the Ma family?"

"How come I've never seen him before? He was out shopping with his new wife yesterday, and they bought quite a lot of things." The shopkeeper sighed again. "Young Master Ma had a falling out with his family. He even has injuries on his face. I heard from his servants that he was beaten by Captain Ma."

Li Shu nodded immediately; even through the veil, one could sense her curiosity about the news.

Previously, Captain Ma had said that Yao was just a concubine, but Young Master Ma's attitude was clearly different.

Li Shu listened and thought the father and son were quite good at acting.

As the head of the family, Captain Ma, once he adopted the right attitude, no one criticized him. As for Young Master Ma... he was young, and even if he threw a tantrum, outsiders didn't think it was a big deal.

Moreover, his sense of responsibility towards Yao Aning makes him seem reliable.

Taking Yao Aning for a stroll around should also be seen as a way of asserting sovereignty.

This family really knows how to get along with people.

“You know so much. Sigh… My father was conscripted into the army years ago and his fate is unknown. My mother is also gone. I traveled a long way to be closer to my father, but I am new here and do not know what taboos there are… Will ordinary people like us be robbed by bandits?” Li Shu continued to sigh with great concern.

"No, these bandits won't make a wasted trip. They all show up for silver. Even if they do come to town to rob, their targets are clear: pawnshops, grain shops, or wealthy households. Ordinary people can usually be safe as long as they take cover in time..."

The shopkeeper was quite generous and told him what he knew.

Li Shu listened attentively and identified the key points.
