Chapter 159: Talking with Feng Wudu
Gu Fei was carried out of the secret room by them and saw the county magistrate following him. Li Wu did not hear the word "young prince".
He was confused and wanted to take a puff of his pipe.
He touched his waist but found nothing. He could only stare at Li Xiaoyu with a confused look on his face.
The voice was full of curiosity: "The one who saved us was our third son-in-law? Isn't he blind and lame? What's going on, daughter?"
This long string of words sounded like mosquitoes to the woman's ears.
She glanced at him listlessly, then followed Feng Wudu and the others.
Not a word was said.
Seeing this, Li Wu, who was no longer good at reading people's faces, could tell that she was in a bad mood. He scratched his head and trotted to catch up with her.
Qi Yi and his son were taken back to the government office and detained.
The unconscious Gu Fei was sent back to the Gu family in a carriage, and Li Wu also returned to the Li family.
In order to make it easier to take care of Fei, he was allowed to sleep back in his previous room.
Feng Wudu was treating him while Li Xiaoyu was boiling water and bringing it into the room.
It was not until dawn of the next day that Gu Fei's injuries stabilized.
After not sleeping all night, one of them looked exhausted, while the other had a greasy face and bloodshot eyes.
Li Xiaoyu covered his mouth and yawned, then sniffed.
She didn't care whether she had conjunctivitis or not. Her eyes felt itchy after not sleeping all night, so she rubbed her eyes with both hands.
Hearing her continuous yawning, Feng Wudu couldn't help but yawn as well.
He tilted his head to cover his face with his sleeve. After the fight, he said to her, "You go to sleep. I'll take care of you, Senior Brother."
Li Xiaoyu looked at the man on the bed who was still frowning even in coma.
She shook her head slightly towards Feng Wudu: "I'm not sleepy now."
After a pause, he asked the question that had been bothering him all night: "Why is he there?"
This problem was within Feng Wudu's expectations.
He could see that Li Xiaoyu was not someone who liked to keep things to himself.
People like her live openly.
In order not to disturb Gu Fei's rest, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
The two of them walked outside the main room, and Li Xiaoyu poured him a glass of water and gave him the recliner to sit on.
She herself sat on the threshold.
In the early morning, thick frost covered the earth, everything was white and visibility was very low.
Feng Wudu straightened his collar, looked up at the fat parrot sleeping soundly on the beam, and his gentle voice slowly sounded.
"Senior brother went there temporarily."
"To be precise, he's going because of you."
As he said this, he withdrew his gaze from the beam and fixed it on the greasy face of the woman.
Facing his emotionless gaze, Li Xiaoyu showed no sign of shock.
Just a tired heart.
It sped up uncontrollably.
Seeing that she was not surprised, Feng Wudu continued, "His eyes were blinded by the poison. In order to recover sooner, he increased the original dosage several times, which aggravated the damage to his already damaged body."
"What's more..." Feng Wudu sighed.
Li Xiaoyu clasped his hands together and asked softly, "What's more?"
Gu Fei had told him not to tell anyone about this matter, but he felt that it didn't matter whether Li Xiaoyu had any feelings for his senior brother or not.
She needs to know.
Feng Wudu looked at the white mist and sighed, "Brother decided to leave on the first day of the new year, and I also gave him more injections for his leg disease."
"During the treatment, he cannot use his internal energy. Once it backfires, his internal organs will feel like being bitten by tens of thousands of ants."
Hearing this, Li Xiaoyu tightened his fingers.
The backs of both hands were scratched until they turned white, leaving faint red marks.
And Feng Wudu was still saying: "This is a hundred times more painful than treating his eyes."
As he spoke, Li Xiaoyu looked towards the yard and saw the white fog.
She thought of Gu Fei's eyes full of loneliness.
Just like this morning frost, you can't see the bottom.
After a moment's silence, she murmured in a hoarse voice, "Actually, he doesn't have to."
Feng Wudu was stunned.
He really didn't expect that at this time, the woman still couldn't see it. He asked directly: "Don't say you can't see that my senior brother is interested in you?"
Hearing this, Li Xiaoyu glanced at him and said, "I know."
"You know, you're still indifferent?"
Li Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and replied honestly: "I am not indifferent, at least I have no grudge against him."
Feng Wudu didn't know what was going on between them. He lay on his side, using his arm as a pillow.
With his head resting on his arms, he looked at her with a little confusion and asked, "Grudge?"
Li Xiaoyu pursed his lips and nodded.
Then he told him about how he first met the murderer and how he was just a spectator.
After hearing this, Feng Wudu felt a little embarrassed. He could only say that his senior brother deserved it. No wonder he was willing to protect others even with his broken body.
"I saw him bleeding profusely last night. It was strange that the knot in my heart suddenly disappeared."
He leaned his back against the door frame, his legs resting on the threshold, his arms folded.
He sighed and said slowly, "Just like you said, he is interested in me. Even if I let go of my grudges and fall in love with him, he and I are not the same kind of people, so we can't be together."
Li Xiaoyu looked very calm when he said these words.
Feng Wudu probably understood the meaning of her words. After all, his senior brother's identity was there, so he would wait for him to return to the imperial city.
It was quite remarkable that she could become a concubine with her status.
Seeing him thinking about something, Li Xiaoyu smiled tiredly: "It would be fine if he was an ordinary person, but he is not."
"Men from those powerful families all have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that he is a young prince."
Feng Wudu couldn't understand her thoughts, and he frowned.
He said seriously: "My senior brother is willing to protect you with his life. If you follow him, he will treat you well, and your Li family will also enjoy wealth and glory."
Li Xiaoyu pursed her lips, smiled and nodded, indicating that she had no comment.
She said, “But I am a human being.”
Hearing this, Feng Wudu was shocked.
He looked at her eyes and smiled, "Maybe you think I'm overestimating myself. I do think I'm overestimating myself, but I really can't share my husband with others."
Li Xiaoyu was also surprised that she could chat so much with Feng Wudu.
"You may find it funny to hear the words "a couple for life"."
She exhaled and smiled generously, "But I'm serious."
Feng Wudu thought her idea was very naive. "Even if you don't follow my senior brother, you can't guarantee that if you follow other men, they won't take concubines or have mistresses."
After hearing her words, Li Xiaoyu's smile widened.
"So after your senior brother left, I didn't plan to get married again. I'm not that charming or lucky enough to meet a man who only has my name written in the wife column of the household registration."
"So what are your plans for the future?"
"Working as a painter and selling steamed buns and pot cakes, life may not be considered rich, but for an ordinary person, sufficient happiness is enough."
Her tone was sincere.
Feng Wudu was really shocked by her words. He looked towards the main room calmly.
Sighed inwardly.
Only now did he understand why his senior brother said that he should spend more time with her.
My senior brother, who is full of calculations and has a black heart, met such a sincere and free-spirited person.
It would be strange if it wasn't planted.
Gu Fei opened his eyes dazedly, and all he heard was: "Ordinary people's lives."
Then he fell into a coma again.
