In this world, having multiple wives and concubines is normal, but Gu Fei only stays with Lan Lingjing, which is truly rare. It turns out there's also the story of this Gu worm involved.
Xiao Li decided not to touch the Gu worm. As she always said, it's best to keep scumbags and scumbags locked up.
However, if the Holy Maiden can use witchcraft, so can she.
Xiao Li extracted a bit of Gu Fei's luck and exchanged it for a Love-Severing Gu from 123.
Then she moved closer to Gu Fei and straightened his collar.
Gu Fei immediately straightened up, as if Xiao Li were a monstrous flood.
Xiao Li didn't mind. "Husband, your clothes are a little wrinkled. Let me smooth them out for you."
Then he stuffed the Gu worm into Gu Fei's sleeve. The Gu worm instantly burrowed into the flesh of his wrist, traveled along the blood vessels, entered his heart, and settled there.
Both Gu worms sensed each other's presence, but each guarded its own side and did not conflict, so they lived in peace.
Gu Fei gave an awkward laugh. "Thank you, Madam."
Seeing the two being so intimate, the old princess wasn't angry; she simply pretended to be angry and sent them away.
"Let's go, I need to rest too."
After bowing, the two left the room one after the other, walking together without speaking.
Walking straight to the outer garden, Gu Fei went directly to the study. Xiao Li didn't say anything and returned to her own room, showing no trace of the gentleness she had displayed when she was tidying Gu Fei's clothes.
Gu Fei glanced back at Xiao Li, feeling quite surprised. His wife hadn't spoken to him gently or shown him any concern, nor had she asked him a single question.
It's as if the two of them have been indifferent to each other for many years, but their relationship is clearly very good. They may not be particularly devoted to each other, but they are certainly respectful to each other.
Gu Fei felt a little disappointed, but also relieved. It was better this way; he really didn't want to face his wife or be intimate with her.
Xiao Li didn't think too much about it. She went straight back to her room to rest. She was exhausted from walking for so long.
"Mother, I've been waiting for you for quite a while."
The three-year-old boy ran out of the cubicle; he had just been playing hide-and-seek with the maids.
Xiao Li had never seen such a beautifully sculpted little baby before, with big, round eyes, a delicate nose, and rosy lips.
When she looked up at Xiaoli, her eyes seemed to sparkle with stars.
This is the original owner's son, Gu Qingpei.
Xiao Li squatted down, picked up the child, and let him sit on her lap. The little boy was a bit shy.
He struggled for a moment. His nanny had said that he couldn't be close to his mother anymore when he grew up, but he loved it this way.
So he gave up struggling, and Ren Xiaoli held him. He leaned against Xiaoli's chest, smelling his mother's pleasant scent.
"Has Pei'er eaten?"
Gu Qingpei nodded, "Mother, I've already eaten. Haven't you eaten yet? Shall I eat with you?"
Xiao Li smiled, nodded, and told the servants to bring up breakfast.
The mother and son ate a warm meal together, then played together for a while before Xiaoli went to manage the household affairs.
The old princess relinquished power many years ago, and the original owner took charge of the inner quarters, managing them impeccably; she was truly a virtuous wife and loving mother.
Gu Fei returned to his study and started reading. Unconsciously, his love for Lan Lingjing gradually faded. Looking back, he only felt fortunate that he had escaped that place.
The luxurious life in the royal palace, with its soft beds and fine clothes, suited him better. If he stayed in Miao territory, he wouldn't be so comfortable.
He thought about it and decided that sleeping in his room was more comfortable, so he left the study and went back to his room.
Xiao Li raised an eyebrow in surprise. Although it was a separate room, it was located in a courtyard.
This time, Gu Fei didn't sleep in the study.
The old princess was also a little surprised when she heard what the nanny said. Her son and daughter-in-law were actually living separately. Had they quarreled?
She called her son over and gave him a good scolding.
“My son, you have been away for many days, and the mansion has been managed entirely by Madam Feng. You must not have any ulterior motives.”
Gu Fei was a little irritated. "Mother, I have no ulterior motives. I just want some peace and quiet."
The old princess was even more surprised. The young couple had been separated for several days, and they should have felt like they were newly married after a long separation. Why would they feel bored?
She couldn't interfere too much in what happened in her son's room, so she just gave him a few instructions and let him leave.
Xiao Li continued to carefree, taking her child to pay her respects to the old princess every day, completely ignoring Gu Fei.
Seeing that the two were doing well, the old princess had no choice but to let the matter go, but she treated Xiaoli even better.
