The Little Fool Ran Away After Tricking a Feudal Patriarch Into Marriage

Xie Zheng was serving as Crown Prince's Grand Tutor, exceptionally clever and thoroughly versed in everything that happened at court.

But he had no interest in politics, and he was fond of men, spending his days lingering in pleasure quarters.

In the sixteenth year of Yuanding, the Crown Prince fell gravely ill. Xie Zheng was framed for attempting to murder a prince and sentenced to be cut in half at the waist.

When he opened his eyes again, Xie Zheng had been reborn six years earlier as a pretty, simple-minded boy.

His parents searched desperately for a miracle cure but found none, and could only send him to work as a pretty boy for a wealthy family.

At the time, Xiao Jue was helping the emperor conquer the realm. Hoping to bring General Xiao down, the family sent Xie Zheng to him.

Xiao Jue had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a handsome face. He was exactly Xie Zheng's type.

On the first day at the general's residence, Xiao Jue tried to send him back. Without a word, Xie Zheng wrapped his arms around the man's waist, playing the fool to perfection.

That evening, the little fool climbed into Xiao Jue's bed and was kicked out by the general.

He crouched beside Xiao Jue's bed and cried, saying he was afraid to sleep alone and insisting he had to marry him.

For the first few months, Xiao Jue managed to keep his composure. Later, he got so fed up that he simply humored him.

Who knew the little fool would actually believe him? That very night, he stole a kiss and tried to consummate their marriage.

Concerned for his reputation, Xiao Jue had no choice but to marry him.

After they married, the little fool clung to him even more, demanding it every single day and crying whenever Xiao Jue refused.

Xiao Jue could only explain helplessly, "You're not a ge'er. You really can't get pregnant."

The little fool climbed on top of him and tugged at his clothes. "Why not? Everyone I know can! If I can't, it's definitely because you aren't trying hard enough!"

In the fifteenth year of Yuanding, undercurrents stirred at court.

Xiao Jue had raised the frail little fool until he was plump and rosy-cheeked.

But then the little fool suddenly stopped wanting it, crouching in a corner and quietly shedding tears.

Xiao Jue comforted him. "You can't get pregnant. You aren't carrying a baby, you just ate too much."

The little fool didn't believe him. "I am pregnant! It's moving!"

Xie Zheng used the opportunity to slip away and stir up trouble at court again.

When Xiao Jue couldn't find him, he even posted notices and offered a huge reward to bring the little fool back.

Xie Zheng was skilled at disguises and had forged a complete set of identity papers, so he wasn't worried in the least. He lounged in a round-backed chair, sipping tea and eating pastries.

Xiao Jue's voice turned dark. "Wen-ge'er."

Xie Zheng didn't so much as change expression. "General, you've mistaken me for someone else."

Xiao Jue leaned closer. "Then what about the Grand Tutor?"

Later, with a case he was investigating in hand, Xie Zheng's eyes reddened at the corners. "I really can't get pregnant."

In a place separated from the Crown Prince by only a screen, Xiao Jue took him. "You can. It must be because I haven't been trying hard enough."

Bonus scene:

A ge'er who was close to the little fool came to see him, fidgeting as he asked, "Wen-ge'er, could you teach me how to, how to... with my husband?"

The little fool suddenly understood. "That's easy! I'll show you! Like this." He planted a loud kiss on Xiao Jue's lips, who had been following behind with a stony face.

The ge'er blushed and ran off screaming. Confused, the little fool turned around and asked, "Why did he run away?"

Xiao Jue: "...Don't go kissing people in public like that again."

The little fool: "Oh."
