MTL - She Doesn’t Want the Face-Blind Husband-v2 Chapter 107
The next day, Tao Xinhe woke up more than usual for a quarter of an hour, but she took care of the housework perfectly, acted like a spoiled child to Tao Xinqiang, and took care of her sister-in-law Hong in everything properly. No one noticed anything wrong with her.
Only she knows that seeing the bright spring scenery makes her eyes feel dazzling, listening to the melodious Yingying's cries makes her feel noisy, and smelling the sweet fragrance of flowers makes her nose choke, in short, everything she sees and feels uncomfortable.
Until she inadvertently saw the small wooden box placed in the corner of the dressing table, with the logo of "Yanchun Pavilion" engraved in the hidden place, as if enlightened, her mood changed, and she quickly asked the servant: "Help me to the second room of Gu's mansion to send a Post, see if it’s convenient for his wife, I’ll pay a visit.”
Afterwards, Tao Xinhe seemed to be explaining or confessing, and said lightly to Qingfang next to him: "You were sick a few days ago, I don't know. Qiangniang gave me the pearl jewelry that Gu Sicheng gave me a while ago. How can I do that?" Can I accept it? Return it to Gu Sicheng directly, and I am afraid of causing new entanglements, so I simply thought of entrusting the Gu family aunt to transfer it to Gu Sicheng, wouldn't it be both? "
Qingfang smiled but said nothing. The layman obviously still secretly wondered whether Gu Sicheng woke up last night, counted the time with his fingers, and said to himself that it was longer than the coma in the suburbs of Beijing.
Today, using the excuse of returning the things, I asked Second Aunt Gu, who was close to Gu Sicheng, how her situation was. Qingfang felt extremely sorry for her entangled master, so naturally she wouldn't point it out on the face.
From Qingfang's point of view, the master is just stretching his neck waiting for Aunt Gu's reply.
Not long after, the servants came to report, saying that the second wife of Gu's mansion and Miss Ru Ning had gone to Xingu's mansion, Mrs. Gu Ninglie was in charge of the mansion, politely asked Jushi Tao what was important, they could report to Xingu's mansion.
Tao Xinhe pursed her lips for a while, then said she knew, and ordered the servants to get busy.
Only she knows how to speculate in her heart. She is nothing more than thinking whether Mrs. Gu or Gu Ningxi is in a bad situation. Otherwise, why would Second Aunt Gu stay with her bride-to-be who will be married in less than half a year? ? After all, the bride needs to be more chaste and demure and less likely to go out, not to mention that she needs to prepare a lot of dowry and needlework.
After suffering for half a day, Tao Xinhe became more and more restless and restless. Unexpectedly, Gu Runing came to visit at dusk when the Golden Wuxi was falling.
As soon as Gu Runing saw Tao Xinhe, he greeted Tao Xinhe very kindly: "Lady Tao, my mother and I are not in the mansion during the day, and we are taking care of my cousin Xi. My mother might as well live there to save trouble. I just came back In our house, I heard my sister-in-law said that you were looking for my mother, so she came here unceremoniously, what's the matter, Layman?"
Tao Xinhe said: "It's not an important matter. Is Ning Niang tired recently? The girl like a flower has lost weight, and maybe the wedding dress will have to be resized in the future. Over there, are you tired?"
She tried her best to hide the meaning of inquiry deeper, appearing more careless.
Gu Runing hastily poured down a large mouthful of tea with dried fruit and candied fruit, and said with a thumbs up, "This is the taste. In the past, when you came to Brother Xi's house in the spring, you always made this kind of tea to entertain guests. It's sweet and sour, I like it Yes. Finally got it again, I envy Qiangniang for having such good food. Now Cousin Xi is in a mess, and even the time to drink water comfortably is beyond hope."
"The tea recipe was given to you earlier, and you can cook it by yourself a few times in the mansion. It's not difficult. If you have nothing to do in the mansion, you can stay for dinner. Qiangniang is also very bored in the mansion. You guys How nice it is to have a joke and chat together. Don't you need to go to your cousin's place tonight?"
Gu Runing tilted his head and thought for a moment, and finally replied: "The layman's words fascinate me, so I'll have the audacity to have a meal tonight. I'm clumsy, I can't make fruit tea, and I can't help the patients these days. Just staying in Xingu's mansion for a show. You know, my grandmother is also there, Qiniang is taking care of her, and my mother is staying in front of Brother Xi's bed. It's hard to hope that he wakes up last night. It’s still not good today.”
Tao Xinhe was startled at first, and repeated in a murmur: "Qiniang?" Then she was happy, "Are you awake?" Then she was shocked again, "Is the situation not good?" It was like the echo of Gu Runing's words that were sometimes ineffective.
Fortunately, she still remembered that she should not show too much emotion, so she lowered her head in time, and her voice was extremely low. Gu Runing only vaguely heard the former cousin's wife's voice, but did not understand the content.
After drinking tea, Gu Runing wanted to share what he had seen and heard with others. There was no one in his family to speculate, so he asked symbolically: "Layman, I will tell you about Brother Xitang's family affairs. Don't you think I'm bothering you?" ?” The follow-up words have been lined up to the throat.
In the middle of Tao Xinhe's arms, she forced a smile, as if she was too embarrassed: "You girl, just say what you want, can I still gag the guests?"
Gu Runing spoke vividly. In her heart, Tao Xinhe was not considered an outsider, and was as kind and reliable as Xitang's sister-in-law before, so she didn't shy away from embellishing her words.
She was raised by Aunt Gu, so naturally she doesn't know how to take care of others. In this respect, she is not as good as her mother who has been running the house for many years and Mo Qiqi who has taken care of her brother for half a year.
Therefore, after Mrs. Gu was taken to the new Gu mansion, Second Aunt Gu took Mo Qiqi to live in the new Gu mansion. One person corresponds to one patient. Gu Runing went to visit during the day and returned to her own mansion at night. , going back and forth like this.
On the day of the banquet in the third year of junior high school, Tao Xinhe knew a little bit about it, but at the time, she didn't know that Mo Qiqi had undertaken such a heavy task.
"Tao Jushi, isn't my sister-in-law just pregnant again? For this reason, we hurried back to Beijing from Uncle Zhuangzi, you know? But Brother Xi needs more people, and you are not here. There is no one who can take charge, my mother has always loved him, how could she let him go? But she was afraid that my sister-in-law would lose her temper, so she said that she was going to honor grandma."
"I'm not here either?" Tao Xinhe had a half-smile, and repeatedly chewed the few words that came out of Gu Runing's mouth:
Of course I'm not here, after all we're divorced. lijia
Gu Runing didn't pay attention, and continued to explain his family's chicken feathers: "So, I don't know what you heard about the situation. Anyway, what we said to the outside world is that my mother and I are filial to my grandmother every day, as if my cousin Fangxi was born on his own. It's like self-destruction. After all, he was expelled from the clan, and my father and brother are still in the clan. I hope this explanation can avoid gossip from the clansmen and my sister-in-law."
"Actually, Qiniang, it was Mo Qiqi who undertook the task of taking care of grandma, and she was really meticulous. I don't know why their relationship has warmed up in the past few days. When grandma saw us, she had to write and communicate. Yes, but with just one glance from grandma, Qiniang knew what she wanted, and quickly responded, making grandma smile for a long time, and my own granddaughter felt ashamed."
Tao Xinhe nodded, and sighed following the other party's words: "It's hard for Miss Mo. Then, Aunt Gu's stays by Gu Sicheng's side, so you don't have to worry about Mrs. Gu, so as not to burn the candle at both ends."
"That's not the case. Qiniang is more sensible, so she doesn't go to Tang Xi's side. Well, during the few days I lived with her, I called her a few words." Gu Runing chattered and took Tao Xinhe's hand After shaking it twice, he elaborated on Gu Ningxi's situation.
As she was talking, she remembered that the woman in front of her had reconciled with her cousin, so she was afraid that she would embarrass Tao Xinhe if she said something too harshly, so she had an idea and grabbed her former cousin's wife Su Su to prevent her from turning against her. Unexpectedly, the smooth and tender hands almost distracted Gu Runing from asking her how to take care of her jade hands.
I don't know if he felt the silent urging from Tao Xinhe's burning eyes, Gu Runing started to tell after Gu Ningxi woke up last night.
Gu Ningxi was in a coma for three days before waking up. She was extremely weak, her lips were cleft, her eyesight was blurred, and it was difficult for her to even sit up. The only good thing was that her body temperature returned to normal. As for the chest wound, whether Gu Runing was a cousin rather than a cousin, she didn't ask or check it without her mother telling her.
Gu Ningxi hurriedly used some food, soup and medicine last night, and fell asleep again. Second Aunt Gu finally relaxed and caught up on sleep.
Early this morning, Gu Ningxi ordered his servants to carry him in a soft bag to pay his respects to his grandmother.
Arriving in front of Mrs. Gu's room, Gu Ningxi struggled to get off the ground, and with the support of the servants, she walked in step by step, panting and stopping three steps, knelt down and kowtowed at a distance from the bed, and then sat on the chair by the door. Next, to prevent Mrs. Gu from seeing his weakness.
Gu Runing went early today, just in time for Gu Ningxi to say goodbye to her grandmother and exchange greetings with Mo Qiqi to express her thanks.
"Tao Jushi, don't worry, I'll be watching closely, and I can see that cousin Xi and Qiniang are really getting along with each other, like brothers and sisters." Gu Runing was about to elaborate, but Tao Xinhe said stiffly: "Ning Mother is joking, why should I worry?" He choked back.
In the cold morning light, Gu Runing heard Mo Qiqi scolded: "The righteous sister is the righteous sister. In short, I can hold onto the big tree of Mr. Gu. What else am I not satisfied with? Now that I am your righteous sister, taking care of your grandmother is the right thing to do." It's a matter of course, not to mention that I have a relationship with Mrs. Gu, we both hate the Cao family, and we have a common topic, and I am very happy to be by her side for a few days."
Gu Ningxi could only murmur "thank you".
His voice was low, seeing that Mo Qiqi wanted to get closer to listen to what he had to say, Gu Ningxi still took two steps back as if facing a formidable enemy, which made Gu Runing, who was standing quietly by the side, laugh out loudly: "Qiniang, my cousin Xi is on the way." Erbajing's younger sister is here. Don't get close to him, and be careful that he trips you."
Mo Qiqi took advantage of the opportunity to call her sister Ru Ning, and said, "I understand. Brother Xi guards Tao's sister-in-law like a jade. In the future, we must tell sister-in-law to know so that brother Fei Xi's behavior is not in vain."
Gu Runing understood, and came to Tao Mansion specially tonight, maybe she didn't mean to defend her cousin, but she always felt that Tao Xinhe seemed to be listening but not listening, and her attitude was ambiguous, so she had to talk about the matter and inform Tao Mansion in advance of the situation that Tao Mansion might encounter tomorrow.
In the morning, the official who was ordered by the emperor to interrogate the case of the brothers of the Gu family came to the door in person and questioned the widow of the prime minister who was ill, because she was one of the victims.
Gu Runing was dismissed as an idler, but Mo Qiqi, who understood what Mrs. Gu meant, stayed behind.
After the officials knew the identity of the girl, they questioned Gu Ningxi for a long time on the charges of poisoning the old man and humiliating the daughter of the people together, as a shining proof of the suffering master.
After the officials received the evidence submitted by Cheng Shicheng the day before yesterday, they detained Gu Ningran on the spot. This is also the reason why Gu Sanshu and the others have not come to bother Xin Gu's mansion these days. They are looking for ways to rescue Gu Ningran and have no time to find the unconscious person. make trouble.
The official left a message before leaving, and he will send Cao to court and detain him.
Gu Ningxi is the plaintiff, so she must go to court to confront the defendant Gu Ningran. The officials saw that he was too weak to get up today, so they sighed and asked him to go to court tomorrow and explain in detail about the assassination in the suburbs of Beijing.
Things in the suburbs of Beijing will inevitably involve the Tao Mansion. Gu Runing came to report the letter.
