Daughter-in-law of the Marquis Family - C218
Xie Jingxi ate until his brain was full of fat, and in a short period of time, his brain wouldn’t be able to think of anything, so when she entered the door, she couldn’t tell that his stomach was being supported by Gu Yun for the entire period of five to six months. The shop assistant stared at her stomach in shock, thinking that she was actually a pregnant woman, to eat so spicy during her pregnancy, she must be a girl.
Gu Yun helped her up into the car, “There’s no need to find a reliable doctor to watch this, he must definitely be a girl.
When I was pregnant with An, did you ever see me eat anything sour?
Gu Yun snorted, “No way, I have a premonition that she is a daughter, and a very powerful one at that.”
“Beautiful then. You will have a headache sooner or later.”
“As long as it’s a girl, I would be happy even if I have a headache. There’s no one I can’t handle.”
“Hehe.” Xie Jingxi rolled his eyes, then raised the curtain and looked outside, “I was thinking about what the waiter had said, I felt that there was a problem with the Fang family, but I was unable to pinpoint what the problem was. Minister Fang’s death was too strange, and was too coincidental, so I can’t think too much about it.”
“I feel that there’s no problem with the Fang family. The one with problems should be Fang Ziqing.” Gu Yun saw that Xie Jingxi had suddenly stared at him and laughed, “What, you want to refute me? You want to say that Fang Ziqing isn’t that kind of person, right? I knew that all of you women only look at one’s face, if you look good then you’ll be honest.
Xie Jingxi held her stomach and laughed, “Gu Xuanchen, why didn’t I notice your resentment before, why didn’t you hold it in a long time ago? How generous you have been to me in the past, how dare you be so calculative.
I have a grudge against you because I care about you, and speak as if you don’t. You said that on the first night of our marriage, my wife was reading a book given by another man without eating or sleeping, and I don’t care, why are you still following me?
No matter if Gu Yun was right or wrong, he could always convince others with his words. Xie Jingxi remembered that when the two of them were just married, she had done a lot of foolish things, and the reason why Gu Yun could endure for so long was because he truly cared about her. Xie Jingxi looked at him and said, “You already saw through it, no, your human eye is too poisonous, truly, why am I so afraid later on?
Gu Yun laughed meaningfully, causing Xie Jingxi to feel goosebumps all over her body, “Actually, I’m not really close with him, I’ve only met him once or twice, and I feel that I’m really sorry for him, it’s just a book, it’s really nothing much, and later on I felt that it was not easy for him to support us, but because of Fang Wanqing, I have nothing to say to him at all.”
“I didn’t ask anything.” Gu Yun smiled at her, “But it’s good to be honest.”
Xie Jingxi gnashed her teeth.
Xie Jingxi once again entered the small wooden building in the Lady Ji. During this period of time when she was free, she would come over to take a look, many of the books and notes in the Lady Ji were very interesting, she read them very carefully, and her motives were self-evident. Although she knew that Wuhen had no solution, she still wanted to take a look.
The entire second floor was her small medicine warehouse. Xie Jingxi looked at the small medicine bottles, other than the ones that were used to make the poisonous bugs, there were no poisonous medicines at all. It should have been Old Man Ji who had cleaned them up later on, but just looking at the notes she had made was already enough to shock people.
The Lady Ji’s interest was different from the Old Man Ji’s. When she was developing the poison, she liked to concoct antidotes, paying attention to one thing and the other, but the Lady Ji was very casual about it, she thought that the antidote would not be as poisonous, and would not leave any traces behind, it was just that passionate and unrestrained. Either it was unique, or it simply did not exist.
Old Man Ji had spent his entire life to develop an antidote for, but she had never been able to do so. This showed how determined she was towards himself, and she gave it the best explanation and setting when she made Wuhen.
It was just that she might not have thought that this medicine would become a nightmare for many people. It would be used like this to re-understand the Lady Ji, allowing Xie Jingxi to overturn many previous deductions and assumptions.
When Wuhen fell into the hands of the mysterious organization, a series of subsequent events occurred. However, the reason for this event was because the only people the Lady Ji could come into contact with were probably the Marquis, which meant that the Marquis most likely knew about and participated in something. The Lady Ji did not mention much about the political and family struggles the Marquis had with the, but in the short term, it seemed like the Marquis was very busy.
Thinking back to that stage, other than the transfer of authority from the Marquis Mansion, the palace’s power struggle had also reached its climax. If one wanted to become the master of the Marquis Anfeng Palace, it was not that easy, then they had to stand as a team, and not only stand as a team, but also participate actively in planning, which was why they were able to follow the instincts of a young Marquis, in exchange for the peace and stability of the Marquis Anfeng Palace these dozens of years.
In the past, the Marquis was able to get what he wanted today. What was there to gain from the Marquis, the prestige and support of an established family, the contacts in the Marquis Anfeng Palace, and the poison of the Lady Ji?
Thinking till this point, Xie Jingxi was enlightened. Many things went smoothly, and perhaps the meeting between Marquis and him was not a beautiful accident, but between the two of them, sincere feelings suddenly appeared. The feelings made the Lady Ji become warm, unrestrained, and unreserved, and the poison she made herself did not mind sharing with the Marquis, but she might mind the fact that the Marquis used them as power struggles that she did not like, which made their feelings not purely beautiful anymore.
If this hypothesis was true, then Wuhen could explain it if it was spread around. Then the origins and purpose of the mysterious organization would become obvious.
But what role did Fang Ziqing have? She felt that Fang Ziqing was not an existence like Gu Qing or the Lady Zou, his existence had no purpose, just like him, who did not care.
“What are you thinking so absent-mindedly about?”
When she came back to her senses, she realized that the sky had already darkened. She closed the small notebook in front of her, “I’m thinking about my mother, but every time I look at her notes, I have a new understanding of it.”
Gu Yun led her downstairs and said, “Liu Tong, in order to thank us for the taste of the dish, he sent us many dishes to have a taste.”
“Why aren’t you curious at all? If you don’t ask me what I’ve been thinking.”
“Then tell me. Anyways, you’re more like her than me right now, so you heard about her from you.”
I’ve thought more than anyone else, so I should think more of you than anyone else. Tell me about yourself, if I had a brain that lacks a string, I would probably be tricked by you no matter what, and when I thought about it, I knew that I would be thinking in my heart. If you don’t tell me, then I will have to think for myself.
“It hurts, it hurts. I just hope you can be a little more stupid. That little brain of yours won’t stop. How could I deceive you? You’ve figured it out for a long time.”
“I don’t know what to say.” Xie Jingxi looked at the slowly rising little crescent moon, “So many things just let us catch up, when I can’t figure it out, I always think, what are you doing thinking it through again?
“It’s fine for everyone to be as content as you are. I will do my best to listen to the will of heaven. Let’s go, let’s go eat.”
Gu Yun was also someone who listened to fate, I doubt if it was true.
“Our little courtyard should be more or less built. I suddenly want to move in. It’s not cold right now, and living in a little thatched cottage would help. What do you think?”
“I am the life of a female singer. If you want to go, then go with me, but Zou Ling is still living there, if you go, don’t use her to say anything.”
“You’re still using Shen Huanzhi to talk, what did I say? It’s all fun, but when you’re serious, you start to feel guilty.”
“Why do I want to pinch your mouth so much?” Gu Yun poked her on the cheek, “Zou Ling is not as simple as you think, be careful when you’re together with her.”
I didn’t think much of her innocence, but she is a girl who is very interesting, not as deep as the Lady Zou. She doesn’t fear us seeing through her actions, or maybe she knows that we have figured out something, but she is still doing whatever we should do. This is what I like about her.
Gu Yun coughed awkwardly twice. Seeing him like this, Xie Jingxi knew what had happened, “You’re not bad Gu Xuanchen, how many things have you been hiding from me? Did you come into contact with her in private last time at Suddenness Garden?
Gu Yun glared at her, “Are you sincerely trying to piss me off? Yes, that’s right, this lady has already expressed her feelings to me, and said that she’s not marrying me. I’ll just say it, I’m already this old, and my family already have enough for me to live my entire life.
Xie Jingxi giggled, “Let’s make a bet, do you think it’s possible that Zou Ling would give up some tasks based on principle because of you? Love and life, these are usually the hot choices people of her age have.
Gu Yun looked at her and suddenly fell silent.
