Chapter 972: Chapter 972: The Useless Couple
Seeing Fei Hua’s refusal, i Hua was even more annoyed with Scholar Feng inside: “It’s all this damned man’s fault, he can’t even make money and still has the audacity to beat a woman! Well, it doesn’t matter, since there isn’t much to do today, I’ll go myself. You better not miss out tomorrow, teaching soone is still sothing you should do.”
i Hua shook her head and left after saying this.
Once she had left, Bai Junjun quickly closed the courtyard door, keeping the prying eyes of the neighbors out.
When she returned to her room, Li Wenli was fiddling with his makeup in front of the mirror; Bai Junjun’s nose was sharp, and she imdiately slled the familiar scent of herbal dicine.
Back when she was at Witch Ancestor Mountain, Mr. Dan He had applied these disguise potions to her.
This ti before setting out, Mr. Dan He even taught Fox a thing or two, never thinking it would actually co in handy.
By the ti she returned, Fox had almost finished his task. He had darkened his skin, made bruises on his forehead and around his eyes, and his swollen nose and face were hardly recognizable as his original appearance.
For a mont, he indeed resembled the bloodied Scholar from last night.
Bai Junjun couldn’t help but raise her thumb, praising Li Wenli’s craftsmanship endlessly.
Li Wenli smiled and pulled Bai Junjun over to the dressing table to start applying makeup to her face.
Fortunately, before burying that resentful couple last night, they had taken a good look at their faces. Lady Fei Hua was naturally beautiful, so Bai Junjun dimd her fair complexion a bit, slightly adjusted her facial features, and added several large bruises on her face, stuffed so cotton in her mouth, and wrapped a scarf around, and for a while, no one would suspect they were swapped out.
The couple went out confidently like this.
They both had injuries on their heads and were wearing scarves, attracting frequent sideways glances from the neighbors along the way.
The neighbors’ eyes were filled with derision and ridicule, but their words were all polite.
“Oh, the young couple is going out early in the morning?”
“Where are you headed?”
“Look at this scarf, although it’s autumn, it’s not that cold, is it?”
“You young people, since you’re together, you should live well and stop making troubles.”
“We could hear you throwing things around last night all the way from the alley entrance; why put yourselves through that?”
The two lived deep in the alley, and nearly every neighboring household couldn’t help but chat with them as they walked out.
They had nothing to say, only managing to nod awkwardly, mumbling that they were going out for breakfast.
It might have been better not to ntion it, but hearing that the two were going out for breakfast, the neighbors couldn’t help but raise their eyebrows: “Really, you two don’t know how to live cheaply.”
“Just eat sothing simple at ho, why bother spending money outside, tis have changed, there will be plenty of tis to use money in the future.”
“Right, whenever war cos, whether it’s fleeing or being conscripted, you’ll need money, better save so.”
“Don’t be overly anxious, our Biluo is a blessed land, if chaos can’t destroy it, it will remain so in the future. Moreover, when real disaster cos, no one can be sure of living a long life, spending money when you have it is the right thing to do.” Amidst a group of discouraging voices, only one old man had a different opinion.
“To hell with you, old fool, what nonsense are you spouting.”
The old woman had been kindly advising the young couple not to waste money and to live well, but her own husband made a fuss, frustrating her to criticize her husband.
Bai Junjun and Li Wenli smiled vaguely, nodding their heads and leaving, still hearing the mumbling of the old couple behind them.
