MTL - She Doesn’t Want the Face-Blind Husband-v2 Chapter 118

Five or six days passed by in a flash.

The long spring days make people lazy, which is the so-called spring sleepiness.

Tao Xinhe couldn't be exempt, she had the entreaties or threats of Gu Ningxi and Cheng Shicheng two very different men in her heart, and it was even more heavy, like being weighed down by two weights. From her point of view, it is natural that nesting in the room to hurt the spring is the most suitable.

However, how could she escape.

On the evening of March 11th, she reported to her father Tao Cheng about taking her younger sister to see the teenager. Matters such as decision-making and handling fell on Tao Xinhe's shoulders.

She didn't refuse, she slept in the same room with the third sister, and after talking carefully all night, she got up the next day and started to work as if resigned to her fate, running around for Tao Xinqiang to marry the Chen family.

The character that cannot be avoided is Cheng Shicheng.

Different from the marriage between Gu Runing and Cheng Jia, Tao Xinhe at that time was just the woman's next door sister-in-law, and was entrusted to be the woman's talker in charge of communication, but in fact it had nothing to do with her.

Now she is the woman's older sister, and has the full power to play the role of parent to take care of it, while Cheng Shicheng is the man's big matchmaker, taking the initiative to take many things on him.

Tao Xinhe had no choice but to be invited or take the initiative to come and go in and out of the uncle's house frequently. Under his auspices, he discussed with the Chen family's parents in a foggy manner, and finalized the matter of the man's marriage proposal.

Fortunately for Tao Xinhe, regarding the verbal discord surrounding Gu Ningxi that afternoon, the two generally avoided talking if they had a tacit understanding.

Cheng Shicheng put away his minions and resumed his honest and friendly appearance, as if the scene of his threatening threats was just imagined by Tao Xinhe.

I have to say that it was probably because Cheng Shicheng had just arranged for his adoptive son Cheng Jia to arrange marriage proposals, acceptance and other procedures. The performance of this participation was very experienced and skilled, which saved a lot of trial and error for both parties.

Moreover, he claimed from the very beginning that although he was the ice man of the man, he also had a close relationship with the woman, so he would be impartial and strive for a happy marriage for young people.

The Chen family's parents didn't say anything else, Tao Xinhe saw that he didn't point out who was related to the woman's side, so he was embarrassed to take a seat, hesitated for a moment, Cheng Shicheng withdrew his meaningful gaze from her, and then smiled and brought up the topic.

Tao Xinhe's discussion of the marriage for the third sister this time went much smoother than expected, and the relationship between the guests and the host was a joy, I don't know if there is a reason for Cheng Shicheng's remarks.

On the morning of March 17th, while her father was going to court, she specially rushed to talk to Tao Cheng early and asked him to spare time in Xiumu three days later to meet the Chen family.

Tao Cheng nodded without exception, and Nian Xu replied: "The night before, He Niang reminded me again. By the way, I vaguely heard that the emperor summoned Gu Sicheng the day before yesterday and handed him a bunch of secrets." Materials. Someone actually asked me, and laughed my big teeth off. Does He Niang know a thing or two?"

After hearing her father's answer, Tao Xinhe's mind raced quickly, thinking about all kinds of arrangements for the two parents to meet in a few days. Unexpectedly, I heard Gu Ningxi's movements suddenly, and my heart was pulled, astringent and swollen, slightly sour and slightly itchy, like a small rake gently plowing across the surface of the ground, leaving shallow marks.

She lowered her head, letting her loosely tied homely braids fall naturally, covering her face and expression, and replied in a low voice, she had never heard from Gu Ningxi since she briefly received visitors on the eleventh day. Besides, these have nothing to do with their Tao family.

In fact, Tao Cheng just asked casually, and didn't make much trouble.

He thought of one more thing, and asked his eldest daughter again: "Gu Sicheng brought his grandmother to his house. I heard that the time is running out. That old lady can speak well, but she can't even speak in the last days, which is pitiful. When the white letter from them arrives, He Niang remembers to tell me that I will pay a memorial service at least."

Tao Xinhe naturally also thought of this former grandma, although she was partial to the third wife and was indifferent to herself, she did not act too outrageously, and she had always been good to Gu Ningxi, making him proud.

Presumably, Gu Ningxi felt very uncomfortable watching her grandmother dying day by day, helpless.

Swallowing his mouthful of saliva, Tao Xinhe nodded slightly, followed his father, and sent him to board the car outside the gate of the house to go up to court.

Turning back to her own room, she saw the "Yanchun Pavilion" wooden box conspicuously on the dressing table. Tao Xinhe picked it up and played with it. After a while, she opened the lid and stared at the two osmanthus sachets and the pearls placed on the brocade cloth Jewelry, mind drifting away.

"Originally, I wanted to entrust Second Aunt Gu to return the property to the original owner." Tao Xinhe said to himself, picking up the sun is worse than hitting the sun, so today he sent someone to deliver a letter, and when Second Aunt Gu was free to return home, he would come to the door For a visit, in addition to returning jewelry and spices, and bringing some souvenirs to add makeup to Ning Niang, isn't it awkward?

I heard that Second Aunt Gu mainly served her mother-in-law and took care of Gu Ningxi in the new Gu mansion, and went back to her own mansion every two or three days to handle half-day affairs, and it was estimated that this would continue until the old lady passed away. When I go by myself, I will more or less listen to her talk about the situation of everyone in the Xingu Mansion. As a guest, it is not easy to cover your ears and leave. This is not deliberate, right?

Thinking about it, Tao Xinhe silently put down a string of pearl bracelets that she didn't know when she got in her hand, bit her lip, and hesitantly raised her hand to press her heart, feeling the slightly flustered beating under her palm, she didn't dare to ask herself.

The big and small round beads that are shiny and shiny in front of me reflect the sunlight coming in from the window, and the spots of light seem to be grinning suddenly, laughing at the self-deceiving Tao Xinhe.

She felt burning pain in her eyelids, and hurriedly stuffed the pearl hairpins, earrings, necklaces, etc. she picked up from her store back into the box, closed it with a "bang", and pushed the wooden box away with her face turned, wishing that her heart could also die So easy to open and close.

Not long after, she hadn't regained her composure and cleared her mind when she heard a report from someone that the girl from the Gu family, accompanied by the third girl, asked to see her.

Tao Xinhe was a little surprised, and then thought that most of the visitors were Gu Runing, perhaps she had reported directly to the concierge that she wanted to see Qiangniang and was brought into the mansion by Qiangniang, so she didn't know about it.

Of course, these details are irrelevant, Tao Xinhe patted her cheek as if she wanted to pat away the messy thoughts, cleared her throat and asked the handkerchiefs to enter the room to talk.

As soon as the girls entered the room, they were all dressed in light blue and light yellow, which naturally brought in the vigorous breath of spring. The two of them stood shoulder to shoulder, flamboyantly flamboyant, and each was good at winning. , preoccupied, frowning has become a habit, lips pursed pale, incomparable.

Gu Runing greeted her with a smile, and then explained his intentions: "Layman, it is said that Gu family affairs should not bother you, but my grandmother... the doctor said that it might only be for a few days, and she wrote tremblingly." Write down, I want to see you."

"See me?" Tao Xinhe's voice was clear and crisp, the question had no other meaning, it was just a simple repetition, but it made Gu Runing feel embarrassed.

"Hey, I don't know what the old man is thinking. Brother Xi hesitated to persuade him to stop him, but my grandmother wrote it several times, and she seemed to be very obsessed. I looked at Brother Xi's pale face of despair and helplessness, and then Make up your own mind, come early in the morning to deliver the message."

When Gu Runing talked about Gu Ningxi's complexion, he raised his finger and gestured to his youthful face. His eyes wandered to the gray and blue checkered floor tiles in the boudoir, and he pointed to the ground vividly and added:

"Brother Xitang's complexion, to put it bluntly, is flattering him. In fact, it is like the ground, dusty and scary. There was a woman brought by my mother from our house yesterday, who couldn't speak. When she saw Xitang Brother, he also yelled that he had bumped into Xie Chong and was covered by a kid to form such a rare grayish white color."

Tao Xinqiang cooperated extremely: "Little devil?"

Gu Runing waved his hand: "Of course my mother reprimanded that old woman, and Qiniang also yelled at the ground. That's what I said, so that laymen can understand how emaciated Brother Xi is now. He dare not come to beg you to forgive me." The government said that the promise owed to you has not been fulfilled. I can't ask why, but Yue Zu came to visit on his behalf. As for whether to go or not, it is naturally up to the layman to decide."

Tao Xinhe heard it clearly, bit her lips again, remained silent for a while, and unconsciously blinked her eyes, as if she was undecided.

The innocent and innocent Tao Xinqiang has always had no grudge against Gu Ningxi, her ex-brother-in-law, and even secretly compares in her heart for her sister who is more worthy of entrustment with Uncle Jichang Cheng Shicheng.

For some reason, she instinctively leaned towards Gu Ningxi, even though Cheng Shicheng treated her kindly, induced her to suspect that Gu Ningxi had intentions, introduced her husband Ruyi and so on.

"When a person is about to die, his words are good. Sister, Mrs. Gu sounds so pitiful, why don't you just go and have a sit, it can be regarded as fulfilling her last wish?" Tao Xinqiang knows the inside and outside, knows how to avoid taboos, and there is no big lala to ask The person Gu Runing expressed his feelings directly, but got up and left his seat, and whispered such advice in Tao Xinhe's ear.

Tao Xinhe seemed to have reached the steps, nodded slowly, and forced a smile to Gu Runing, and said in a very soft voice: "Okay, thank you Runing for your hard work, please go back and tell Mrs. Gu that I will deal with today's affairs in the mansion. , I went to visit her old man before noon."

Gu Runing was tangled in front of the door, and influenced by Gu Ningxi's depression, he thought that he and Tao Xinhe had lost contact with each other, so he didn't dare to go directly to Tao Xinhe, and flexibly took Tao Xinqiang to accompany him. Hearing her promise at this time, he was overjoyed and said repeatedly it is good.

There was a new bond in her heart. After Tao Xinhe sent Gu Runing away politely, she felt that the familiar daily housework suddenly became trivial and annoying.

After finally dismissing the last servant who asked for instructions, Tao Xinhe heaved a sigh of relief, ordered Qingfang to dress her up for going out, and unconsciously urged, "Hurry up, someone is waiting."

Qingfang knew a little bit that the layman was going to visit Mrs. Gu in Xingu's mansion, but she didn't understand what she meant, hesitated for a while, and finally said:

"Don't dare to hide the truth from laymen, yesterday Liu Guang came to look for slaves and maidservants to reminisce about the old days. Speaking of Gu Sicheng, it seems that he will be called into the palace in the mornings these few days. The longest is two hours, and the shortest is three or four quarters of an hour. Therefore, you will go there in a while. I probably won't be able to see Gu Sicheng. How about going in the afternoon instead? Presumably, Gu Sicheng will be waiting in the mansion by then."

Tao Xinhe couldn't understand how she felt after her heart trembled, but Gu Runing didn't mention Gu Ningxi at all just now, just playing lip service.

She turned around and smiled, and rounded things up and said: "You have always gotten along well, and it's not too much to keep in touch with each other, just don't talk about the masters of each family. I'm going to visit Mrs. Gu, so what have I to do with Gu Sicheng? He's not here The government is better, it saves us from embarrassing each other, and it’s not good for socializing, and it’s embarrassing to ignore it.”

A while later, she rushed to Xingu Mansion with Qingfang and others.

Qingfang didn't understand why the layman asked her to take the box of "Yanchun Pavilion" beads, but she just kept it tightly and obeyed.
