MTL - She Doesn’t Want the Face-Blind Husband-v2 Chapter 111
After talking about Gu Ningxi, Cheng Shicheng and Tao Xinhe elaborated on the details of the encounter between Chen Jiaerlang and Tao Xinqiang, who will match up in the future. Seeing that Tao Xinhe had no intention of letting go of lunch, Cheng Shicheng repeated to himself "the future will be long", Only then reluctantly said goodbye.
Tao Xinhe sent away the guests, feeling so exhausted that she didn't even have the time to deal with her sister and sister-in-law, so she presumed that she was not feeling well, ate some porridge in her yard, and hid in the canopy bed to take a nap.
How could she fall asleep?
First of all, self-examination, will her behavior towards Gu Ningxi after Li and Li really be misunderstood? It's fine for others, will Gu Ningxi think that she just lost her temper and can be recovered?
Tao Xinhe asked herself, the reason for meeting at the restaurant at the end of the first lunar month was to remind herself to bid farewell to the past and give the two of them a decent explanation, although they didn't get what they wanted.
Gu Ningxi was hurt recently, and it was somewhat related to her. Her help was to repay this kind of favor that she didn't care about, or it was based on her own letting go. She really wanted to have a clear grievance with Gu Ningxi. With strangers.
However, it was probably because she was too immersed in her own subtle thoughts, and didn't take into account the interpretation of the outside world. It was originally an act of weeding and getting rid of the old relationship. Could it be that Gu Ningxi thought it meant the rebirth of the couple and the rebirth of spring grass?
Think again. Cheng Shicheng had his own plans, and Tao Xinhe felt that it was always awkward to talk to him, not to mention the fact that after he left, she unknowingly washed her hands three times before lunch.
Tao Xinhe thought she didn't care about the back and palm of his hand that he briefly touched, and she was no longer Yunying's unmarried girl. However, the skin on that spot became scorching hot in the clear water, so she couldn't help rubbing it to cool off.
It seems that the body knows better than the brain whether he has feelings for men.
However, Cheng Shicheng mentioned that embarrassing Gu Ningxi and giving him difficult questions were indeed good words that Tao Xinhe heard in his heart.
Gu Ningxi was withdrawn since she was a child, but she developed a character of indifference on the surface and pride in her bones. She was not attached to people or things, and mostly let them come and go.
The entanglement with Li Hou actually surprised Tao Xinhe, but she always felt that Gu Ningxi couldn't hold on for too long. She originally thought that as long as she kept not responding and treated him coldly, when he naturally became discouraged, she would be able to return to peace.
Now, it is indeed worth a try to set up extremely difficult and impossible challenges to make him quit and accelerate the process of his fading out of his life.
As for how to solve this problem, Tao Xinhe had a hard time.
Earlier, Cheng Shicheng thoughtfully proposed an idea: "Let him capture the moon in nine days, catch pearls in the deep sea, or capture dragons and tigers, cultivate Jiahe to attract phoenixes, I can tell you a hundred tricks."
Tao Xinhe didn't answer.
Difficulty does not mean whimsical and nonsense. Even a three-year-old child knows that the moon hangs in the sky and cannot be taken off.
Gu Ningxi is not stupid, so she will naturally resolve it in a few words, so there is no such thing as the so-called test, the so-called retreat in spite of difficulties.
Cheng Shicheng also said: "A good man should be his wife and son, and make great achievements. Is this always the right way? Take me as an example, asking Gu Ningxi to be a third-rank official within three years, and his family property to be full of tens of millions of gold, etc. What does Atao think? I'm sorry he can't do it, but he can't be picky about such requests."
Tao Xinhe still shook her head, always feeling that it was not her own heart.
She is not a vulgar person who only stares at men's fame and fortune. Asking the question of the smell of copper, Tao Xinhe had the illusion that her character would be lowered.
If it spreads accidentally and adds other people's gossip, making up that Tao's parents and daughters dislike her husband and then reconcile, even though Gu Ningxi is already an extremely rare young middle-level civil servant, then how wronged she is.
The more I think about it, the more headache I get, it needs to be elegant, but also difficult, Tao Xinhe unconsciously followed the train of thought of asking Gu Ningxi to ask her to quit, and trapped herself.
Tao Xinhe thought about it day and night, thinking left and right, thinking in a trance, even Qingfang asked her without saying a word, feeling bored alone.
Three days later, Gu Ningxi really came to visit, saying that he had solved the couple's worries, and begged: "Han Niang, give me another chance, okay?"
**
On this side, Tao Xinhe lives in Tao Mansion calmly. Her father, Tao Cheng, is interested in coming from nowhere. , related to Gu Ningxi.
On the other side, Gu Ningxi went to court on the seventh day of March, waiting for the result.
No matter what he was thinking about in his heart, he was recuperating honestly at home. The doctor gave him countless eyes and prescribed several prescriptions that were so bitter that people hated ghosts. riddled with holes.
Fortunately, the lawsuit he sued Gu Ningran didn't have any suspenseful twists and turns. The facts were there and the evidence was conclusive, and the sufferers from Mrs. Gu, to Gu Ningxi to Mo Qiqi all demanded that Gu Ningran be held accountable.
In fact, the Yamen officials made a decision on the spot in their hearts, but they reported it to various places later, and even submitted it to the emperor who called Yousi to take over the case, and went through the corresponding procedures completely, which took some time.
Even so, on the afternoon of the ninth day of March, at about the end of the day when the sun left the sky, and there was a sense of an unstoppable fall to the west, the Yamen clarified the outcome of the case and knew both the plaintiff and the defendant, namely, the old and the new Gufu. .
One is that Gu Ningran was accused of all crimes, including hurting his ancestors, harming his brother, and humiliating the daughters of the people, and he was an official. The emperor was annoyed and ordered "the crime will be added to one class". The family property was exiled for three thousand miles, and they were not allowed to leave the place of fetters until they died, and their descendants were not allowed to be official for two generations.
The second is that his wife, Cao Shi, disregarded her granddaughter-in-law's duty, and poisoned her mother-in-law with her own hands. The horror and ruthlessness are rare in the world, and there are also hints of Gu Ningran's other crimes.
Aside from this case, the investigation found that Mrs. Cao beat and resold the concubine servants of her family, causing Gu Ningran's concubine who had been in the family for less than a month to be humiliated and thrown into the well. Although she was rescued, it is not an exaggeration to bear the name of attempted murder .
Therefore, the Cao family was sentenced to be abandoned by the Gu family. After being beaten with fifty boards in court, they were sent to the Sinnv Temple to clean up and make atonement.
The third is the widow of the prime minister Gu, who suffers from hardships. According to her wishes before her bed, she will be taken care of by the eldest grandson Gu Ningxi, and her sons Gu Er and Gu San will not interfere.
The fourth is Gu Ningxi, the bitter customer. Although he is a descendant of Prime Minister Gu, he was expelled from the Gu clan first.
It is hereby sentenced that 50% of the property of Prime Minister Gu's mansion be confiscated and confiscated to pay for Gu Ningran's crime, 20% will go to Gu Er and Gu San respectively, and the remaining 10% will go to Mrs. Gu, and Gu Ningxi will keep it on her behalf.
The fifth is Mo Qiqi, the sufferer, originally from Quezhou, now living in the capital, whose name was justified by the government, she is an orphan girl who was purely victimized.
Thinking of his helplessness, twenty liang of silver was allocated from the official treasury to help him stand up, to show that my emperor En Deze is surrounded by the world and treats all people as children.
The sixth is the Gu clan. Removing one's own family name and grandchildren is an internal matter of the clan, and the imperial court does not interfere. However, the Gu family's original family, Hannan, established a branch shrine in the capital in the Old Gu Mansion. Because the Old Gu Mansion would be confiscated as compensation for Gu Ningran's damage to the reputation of the court officials, the Gu family was ordered to move out the branch shrine within three days.
There are some detailed handling instructions in the back, which are roughly the above six items.
This lawsuit has paid for the strong family background of the old Gu family. The only two officials of the Gu clan that were once proud, one was exiled and the other was expelled.
Gu San, the youngest son of Prime Minister Gu, lived on the fruits of the property in the mansion all his life, and was at a loss as to what to do in the future. His wife, Aunt Gu, even went blind from crying, and the concubines went their separate ways to make a living, like a tree falling and a monkey scattered.
As a criminal, Gu Ningran is about to leave Beijing, and will never return to life, and the emperor Jinkou said that he has tarnished the reputation of civil servants, and everyone disdains and dare not have anything to do with him, and uses this to educate the children in the family. "Gu Ningran" has become a synonym for shame.
His two or three youngest sons, together with their future heirs, can only sink into business and industry, and cannot get up within three generations. What is even more pitiful is that he has lost his father and mother, so he can only rely on his grandparents for a living.
Mrs. Cao, no matter whether it was ordered by her husband’s family or her mother’s family, no one would like to see this female family member take off her pants and beat her in front of the public. The negative teaching material harmed Gu's family, degraded the old prime minister's name, and wanted to go to the **** to apologize to the grandpa, so he quietly committed suicide in the women's prison.
Prime Minister Gu's second son is of the same line, Gu Erping got 20% of his father's property for nothing, and was confused for a while. Gu Ninglie and other Ningzi generations have always secretly disdained Gu Ningran, but at this time, they felt a little fortunate to have clearly defined the boundaries, and it was rare to be reprimanded by Gu Er.
A few days later, Gu Er, in the name of honoring his aunt, sent these belongings to Xin Gu's mansion, which also dispelled his own children's worries.
Then there is Gu Ningxi from the long room. The punishment was harsher than he had imagined, especially since the government took the opportunity to eat up half of his grandfather's inheritance, which was beyond his expectation, and he was worried that his grandmother would feel uncomfortable if he found out.
However, the official who announced the result told him quietly that this was the emperor's intention, so Gu Ningxi had nothing to say, the thunder, rain and dew were all due to the grace of the king.
Sending off the people in the yamen courteously, Gu Ningxi deliberated, and reported the softened and softened punishments to Mrs. Gu to know.
Hearing that her favorite eldest grandson, Gu Ningran, was about to be exiled, and her eldest daughter-in-law Cao committed suicide, Mrs. Gu seemed to have a premonition, and shed two lines of dirty tears.
Listening to Mo Qiqi whispering to him describing how her grandmother frowned, how she shed tears, how she opened her mouth but remained silent, Gu Ningxi clench her fist and beat her head in self-blame, annoyed that she had made the old man sad.
The end of the lawsuit is equivalent to the end of his entanglement with Gu Ningran. He really wanted to confide in He Niang, and confide in mixed emotions such as relaxation, relief, loss, emptiness, and distress.
With the lawsuit over, he had formally taken over the responsibility of caring for his grandmother, who had watched her weaken and die before long. Gu Ningxi wanted to tell He Niang even more, the pain of seeing off his mother before the hospital bed was vivid in his memory, it was He Niang who supported him to come over.
However, the follow-up delivery affairs were complicated and fragmented. Gu Ningxi had been busy since the moment she received the order from the yamen. The mansion was still entrusted to Aunt Gu and Mo Qiqi. Together with her second and third uncles, she cooperated with the government to count the property of the old Gu mansion.
He was as busy as an abacus, and he was fiddled a few times by everyone who didn't know his name and face.
After the morning of March 11th, he took a free time, went straight to what he wanted in his heart, and arrived at Tao Mansion.
