Transmigrated into Substitute Bride ‘Fu Lang’

able to guarantee the taste.
Instead of that, it’s better to keep things as they are.”

 

Hearing him say this, Fu Gongzi, however, could understand it very well and sighed, “You are right, there is no point in making more if it doesn’t taste good anymore.”

 

After saying that, Fu Gongzi carried his bowl, which was bigger than others’ bowls, and went to find a seat.

 

The sun was hot at this time, and there were not many people left at the stall.
The customers who stayed to eat also did not hurriedly finish eating and even after they had finished eating, they sat there and chatted leisurely.

 

“Do you know about those matters related to Lai Shiye?” An old man in grey clothes asked leisurely towards his companion next to him.

 

When his companion heard his words, his expression was somewhat scornful as he slightly sneered and said , “Of course I know, this matter has become such a big deal.
Who else in this town doesn’t know about it?”

 

The old man in grey sighed and lamented, “Yes, everyone in this whole town knows what Master Lai has done.
Did you know that when those people went to sue the Lai family, I also went along with them.

One of the victims was a family with only one blind old woman left alive in the family.
Her daughter had been taken in by Lai Jiu since she was liked by Lai Jiu and in the first place, she refused to obey yet she was snatched from the house by force, later the daughter’s life and death remain unknown.
Her husband was beaten to death by those of the Lai family in order to find their daughter.
In the end, they even took over her family’s fields by force.”

 

“This Master Lai’s family, they are really beasts!”

 

“Yes, that’s right, if it weren’t for the new appointed County Magistrate, there’s no telling how many more heartless things this Master Lai’s family would have done!”

 

After saying this, the two men began to speak well of the newly appointed county magistrate, praising him as a good man who was rare to be found.

 

Just as Chen Xing was waiting for the guests and listening to their conversation, he suddenly heard the sound of gong coming from afar.

 

Chen Xing had just felt as if he had heard it before, he then saw two officials walking in the distance, one banging a gong in his hand and the other shouting, “After seven days, Master Lai and his family will be paraded through the streets for execution.”

 

Until he heard these words from them, Chen Xing suddenly remembered that these two officials were the same two who had informed the people that day to file a complaint.

 

Chen Xing watched them as they walked and gave publicity to people all the way, and soon disappeared from the street, leaving behind a number of citizens who had started to talk about it after hearing the news.

 

Only when those two officials had gone far away did Chen Xing withdraw his gaze and began to agonise over whether he should also go and take a look.
But as a modern man from the 21st century, he had never seen such a bloody scene before, so he was afraid he would throw up.

 

Just at the moment when Chen Xing was puzzled about it, not far away were two young ladies dressed in silk, followed with their maids behind them, looking towards Chen Xing’s stall.

 

“Jing’er, is this the place you are talking about?”

 

Recently, the madam of the Chen family was intending to tie the knot with the Zhao family, the richest family in the city, and therefore asked Chen Ling’er to please the Zhao family no matter what.

 

Today, Zhao Jing, the third young lady of the Zhao family, followed her mother to visit the Chen family and insisted on dragging her out, so she also followed her mother’s urging to come out with Zhao Jing.
Who knew that after coming out, this little girl would tell her that she wanted to eat the same cold dishes outside, and that was the reason why she had dragged her out.

When she followed Zhao Jing to the place she mentioned, looking at the familiar-looking Ger not far away, Chen Ling’er’s brow furrowed fiercely, if she was not mistaken, the person who was busy in front of the stall was none other than Chen Xing who they had ‘married’ to Gu Lang a few months ago!

 

Thinking of this, Chen Ling’er’s frown deepened, and the expression on her face became unusually unpleasant.

 

Zhao Jing seemed to sense the difference and slowly let go of the arm holding her, looking at Chen Ling’er’s somewhat gloomy face, she timidly asked, “Ling’er Jie Jie ( Elder or big sister Ling’er) what’s wrong with you?”

 

Hearing Zhao Jing’s timid voice, Chen Ling’er suddenly reacted that she had lost her temper and immediately changed her expression, reverting to her original gentle expression and smiling at her, “I’m fine, I’m just a little worried.
The food on the street is not very clean, what if you have a runny tummy after eating it?”

 

Zhao Jing looked at the gentle Chen Ling’er again and thinking that what she had just seen was just her illusion, pulling her sleeve, shook it twice and she said coquettishly, “Ling’er Jie Jie, it’s alright.
I’ve heard that here is very clean and different from other hawkers.
I’ve been craving his food for a long time, but my mother won’t let me eat it.
I’ll eat it just this once, just this once, and next time I’ll won’t eat it again.”

 

Chen Ling’er looked at Zhao Jing, who was pestering her and then looked at Chen Xing who was busy and suddenly thought of something as he changed her mind and her face showed a helpless expression that as if she could do nothing about Zhao Jing and said towards her, “Okay then, I really can’t do anything about you, but when you go back, you can’t tell my mother that I took you there to eat.”

 

“I promise not to tell.” Zhao Jing made a gesture of guarantee towards Chen Ling’er, her eyes full of expectation.

 

Like that, Chen Ling’er dragged her towards Chen Xing’s stall.

 

There were already a lot of them which attracted many people’s attention especially when there were two rich girls among them, so there were even more people looking at them.

 

As they walked towards Chen Xing’s stall, Chen Xing also looked in their direction.

 

Chen Xing stared at the two ladies in the front, he always felt that one of them looked familiar, but he couldn’t recall at the moment where he had seen that person before.
