Daughter-in-law of the Marquis Family - Chapter 293
When Xie Jingxi woke up again, she found that she had changed her room. At this time, she was lying in bed. It was dark around. It was late at night. Her head was swollen and her arms ached. After a look, she found that she had been bandaged again.
She didn’t want to wake anyone up, so she closed her eyes again, restrained herself from thinking about these messy things, confused until dawn, and then awakened by the sound of pushing the door.
Yuewen came in. As usual, she came in with a food box and put an expressionless cloth on the table. Xie Jingxi didn’t pay attention to her expression, but she could feel that she was very hostile.
Xie Jingxi was puzzled about this. She had little communication with her. Even because she was obsessed with Gu Heng, she didn’t have to hang hostility on her face all day. She wanted to eat her blood. Xie Jingxi got up from bed and suddenly looked at her, startling Yuewen.
Xie Jingxi was probably very poor and bored. She suddenly smiled at her and said, “Miss Yuewen, but what do you want to say to me? I’m sorry to ask you to come in and deliver meals every day.”
Yuewen was startled by her. It happened that she bumped into her when she was recklessly hating others. She seemed to have done something wrong and was caught on the spot. She wanted to say how there could be such a annoying person in the world.
Sometimes a person firmly hates something, but when questioned, he is easy to doubt himself. In his heart, he will silently weigh whether the reasons supporting his hatred can stand. Yuewen was bluffed by Xie Jingxi. The momentum has fallen, so he had to hold his face and argue.
“I advise you not to give yourself too much face. Do you think you still have any face and identity now, and you can command from the top? When all the dust is settled, you will be nothing.”
Xie Jingxi smiled. “On the contrary, I think it’s a very face-saving thing to have miss Yuewen bring tea and rice in person. If this is the treatment of prisoners, I think it’s also very good.”
Yuewen was angry and said that if the second master asked her to kill the woman one day, she would not hesitate. Without the second master’s care, she thought she could have what kind of treatment!
“As you can see, I’m not very willing. If possible, I’d rather kill you, so you’d better not have any luck. You’d better be polite to our second master. When even he loses patience, you can imagine what will happen.”
“You’re welcome. How can I be polite?”
“You at least…” Yuewen said to her, but she didn’t know how to answer her.
“I have never said a word of importance to your second master, nor have I influenced him. What do you think I should respond to him, or respond to him like you? This is called politeness?”
“You!” there is always a fire burning in Yuewen’s heart, but she doesn’t know why. She just can’t see her like this, but she can’t tell what she wants. Let her die? Can she put out the fire in her heart when she dies? She’s not sure.
Yuewen smiled angrily. “Don’t you think it’s too much when you say these words? Is it very happy to spoil other people’s feelings for you so easily? He has never wavered in the slightest bit to you. You turned him into this step by step. Won’t you blame yourself when you see it with your own eyes!”
“So you are defending the second master of your family, right? You think I failed him and turned him into a cold-blooded man. You say he has never wavered in me. Well, guess I let him stop and give up everything now. Will he promise? His own desire for karma does not depend on who, just like Yuewen, who pretended to be around him from the beginning to become a man When you get rid of the people around him, do you have more than half soft breakup because he is the one you love? ”
“I really shouldn’t have kept you.” Yue Wen sneered, “but I won’t let you die easily. After all, you are still a valuable chess piece. Take care of yourself, grandma.”
Yuewen was heavily locked, and her face showed some panic. This woman is used to rhetoric and is best at bewitching people. Why should she talk nonsense to her and will kill her sooner or later, won’t she.
Yuewen clenched the food box and was about to leave, but she met Gu Heng face-to-face. Yuewen was stunned. “Second Lord, you’re here. I’ve sent the meals, which are all done according to your requirements.”
Gu Heng replied with an unknown meaning, “you don’t need to be so early in the future. Also, take care of your mouth.”
Yuewen pinched her palm. “Yes, second master.”
When did he come? Did he hear what he said just now?
Gu Heng stood outside the door for a while, but he never went in. Xie Jingxi was bored in the room. After teasing Yuewen, she had nothing to do. Her arm began to ache again. She simply lay in bed and slept again.
Gu Heng heard that her breakfast and lunch were useless. He came again in the evening. Without hesitation, he unlocked the door and entered the room.
Xie Jingxi was still sleeping, and there were no traces of food and snacks on the table. Gu Heng frowned, put down the wound medicine in his hand and went to the bedside. Just waiting to wake her up, he found that her face was flushed and seemed to be hot.
“Ah Xi!” Gu Heng put his back on her forehead, whispered a curse, and hurriedly summoned the family doctor to come and diagnose her pulse and prescribe a prescription for her.
It’s strange that the wound doesn’t get hot after tossing around like this. After a flurry of tossing until dark, she finally filled her with medicine and bandaged the wound again. Gu Heng has been guarding like this. He doesn’t know whether to leave or what to do.
He always has this bad idea. He is always powerless to her, and it is difficult to put his position right. He is not willing to give in and let go, but persistence seems to be worse. She seems to hate him more and more.
Even if he disguised himself as tough and weak, he couldn’t get her a billowing look. This is probably his one-man play.
Xie Jingxi had been fed medicine and had been sober a lot, but she didn’t want to wake up, because she knew Gu Heng was there. The outcome must be very embarrassing. She simply didn’t speak. When she was so silent and half awake, she thought of many past and even previous lives.
When Yue Wen accused her today, she said she was very independent, but Gu Heng was not an insignificant passer-by. In those years of her previous life, he almost occupied her whole life, so now when she gradually figured out something, she didn’t know how to face him.
Because she subconsciously didn’t want to agree with her conclusion.
“Gu Heng.” Xie Jingxi heard his voice like nonsense, and couldn’t tell whether it was in a dream or reality. “Second sister, is it your hand?”
Gu Heng was stunned. He suspected that he had auditory hallucinations. He stared at her motionless to distinguish whether she had any signs of waking up, but Xie Jingxi still maintained his original posture and made no response.
He suddenly wanted to run away in a hurry. He found that he could not answer her question. He was afraid that she would suddenly open her eyes and look at him and tell him that the question just now was not auditory hallucination.
Because at that moment, he realized that no matter what response he made, everything between them would disappear, and there would be no involvement in this life and the afterlife.
Gu Heng stood up, did not dare to stay at all, and fled the room in panic. Not only Xie Jingqi, but also the whole Xie family were on the list of being removed. He didn’t struggle when he did all this. He thought that if he hadn’t met her, all his plans for the Xie family from the beginning were worthless.
However, Xie Jingxi appeared, which became a fetter that he could never get rid of.
Gu Heng asked himself, if she had been the one who married openly, would everything change today? Would he give up everything for her? He was not sure, because he decided the immediate outcome from marrying Xie’s daughter. Xie Jingqi or Xie Jingxi are probably the same.
Xie Jingxi left two lines of clear tears in her eyes. She finally had the answer to the question she had been thinking about for two lifetimes, but she was not half relieved, because she never thought that she would stand in an incompatible position with Gu Heng one day, even if it was a passer-by.
Did he take special care of that bowl of just right sweet soup and the last knife? Was he afraid that the process of her death was too painful? Should she be grateful for his kindness?
So Gu Heng is always that Gu Heng. It’s not that he has changed, but that she can’t see clearly.
At the end of the night, there was a thick fog in the sky. The hazy night was like Gu Heng’s state of mind at this time. He was confused and had no solution. He pestled here for a long time. After escaping from the room, he was here all the time. The thick fog cooled into the bone marrow on the autumn night. He was unaware and vaguely hoped that the day would not be bright and the fog would not retreat.
But the sky didn’t follow people’s wishes. What voice came through the air. Gu Heng returned to God and looked at Yuewen who came in a hurry.
“Second Lord, the capital has started to fight, the Sheng family army has broken through into the city, and the forbidden guards in the palace have also broken the gate of the palace. Zou yuan’s people don’t know why they haven’t done it yet.”
Gu Heng frowned, “Zou yuan, what kind of demon is he? Do you want to make a profit if you don’t do it at this time?”
The remaining evils of the king of Qin and the abandoned prince are only a joint relationship, not an integration. The so-called fight is actually the old isolated army of the abandoned Prince against the Sheng family army and the forbidden guards. Zou yuan did not provide timely assistance for some reason. All this made Gu Heng have a very bad hunch.
Gu Heng has been in the Party of the crown prince for a long time, and after the crown prince is abolished, he actually controls all the old parts of the abandoned crown prince. History always repeats itself. Qin Zhan and Gu Heng are similar to the abandoned crown prince. In the end, they often only compete for their own power desire, which Gu Heng never denies.
He needs the power of abolishing the crown prince and an authority who can represent his own interests, which is the same as the marquis in those years. Standing in line is a gamble, but Gu Heng never believes he will lose, but the current situation makes him doubt whether it is really a hit that can not be forced. No, he never admits his life.
“Second master, if you really arrive at that moment, I hope you don’t hesitate. If you can’t do it, I’ll replace you…”
“Presumptuous! When is your turn to speak!”
Yuewen looked at him reluctantly. “It’s this time. Do you still have fantasies? You cherish her. She doesn’t care about you at all. The palace gate has been broken by the king of Jin. The first goal Gu Yun came out must be the Hou house. A ready-made chess piece in our hand is Gu Yun’s death. Why don’t you use it!”
Gu Heng closed his eyes, because she was not only Gu Yun’s death, but also probably his death.
“She can’t speak. I can always count what I say.”
In the thick fog, Gu Heng couldn’t see the visitor clearly, but he heard Shi’s voice. He looked at Yue Wen reproachfully and nervously said to the two, “prince, princess.”
The waste Prince hummed: “Gu Heng, I didn’t expect you to keep this hand. When is it? You still worry about that woman. With her in hand, are you afraid that Gu Yun won’t be arrested? Without Gu Yun, the king of Jin is equal to a lame chicken. Don’t use it for nothing!”
“Take it easy, you two. Things haven’t happened yet. Even if King Gu Yun broke the palace gate, it’s hard to fight for a while and a half. This woman is still of great use. It’s not suitable to touch her now.”
“What else can she do? None of the Xie family can run away. If you worry about Lu Bingsheng and Sheng Luan in the northwest, you don’t have to use a good knife on the blade. Can you believe that if you hang this woman at the gate of Hou’s house now, Gu Yun can kill himself on the spot.”
Gu Heng really didn’t expect the waste prince to come to Hou’s house at this time. With them, ah Xi’s life can’t be guaranteed!
