She Doesn’t Want the Face-Blind Husband - Chapter 33

Ji Changboli let his master walk in front, and he fell two steps behind Tao Xinhe.

Now at about the end of the hour, Nuan Yang stretched the figures of the two people long.

The shadows are somewhat distorted, passing by the low flowers and trees on the side of the road that have not yet rejuvenated. Judging from the reflection, one is petite and the other is tall and strong, as if walking hand in hand, Cheng Shicheng watched from the corner of his eye, hoping from the bottom of his heart that the real person can realize such a scene as soon as possible.

The servants trailed further behind.

The aura of the middle-aged man behind him and the faint heat coming from him made Tao Xinhe somewhat uncomfortable. He thought that even if the uncle’s body was damaged, his appearance could still bluff people, and he was still powerful.

She tried to walk a few steps quickly to increase the distance without any trace, but found that Cheng Shicheng was in step with her, maintaining an unchanged arm’s distance, subtly stuck on the border of offense.

When they first came out of the flower hall, the two exchanged a few polite words, and then basically walked along in a silent change of pace.

Tao Xinhe didn’t want to rush around in her mansion, as if she was running away, and then looked ahead, the mansion gate behind the screen wall was in sight, so she ignored the discomfort, and focused on sending Cheng Shicheng to the carriage of the uncle’s mansion to complete the task of seeing off guests.

“Mrs. Gu, there is a gloomy look between your brows, did you encounter some troubles?” Seeing the corner of the half-opened Tao Mansion gate, Cheng Shicheng felt sorry for how the road was so short. He couldn’t bear it any longer, looked at the beauty’s side face, and raised a slightly rude topic.

Hearing the mellow male voice at first glance, she seemed to be frightened, Tao Xinhe paused slightly, and raised her hand instinctively to caress the center of her eyebrows.

It was only later that she realized that she was trying to cover up, she turned her face, looked straight ahead, smiled, and said that she was fine, thank you uncle for greeting Yunyun, and wanted to take it easy.

While talking, the two walked around Zhaobi, came to the gate of the mansion, and crossed the high threshold politely to each other.

Cheng Shicheng hadn’t finished speaking, when he saw that Yi Ren seemed to be fixed on the spot, stopped talking and stopped moving, just stood on the steps in front of Tao’s house, looking somewhere behind him, his eyes were fixed, his expression seemed sad but also happy .

If he felt it, he turned around, and sure enough, six feet outside the gate of the mansion, there was a carriage with the emblem of the Gu Mansion parked, the horses obediently cuddled up to the driver, licking the sugar grains in his hand.

In stark contrast, the three people standing opposite each other by the side of the carriage seemed to be in a state of tension, or, at least, unilaterally.

Standing facing the entrance of the mansion was Gu Ningxi, a young and promising official from the Ministry of Rites whom Cheng Shicheng had met the day before yesterday, accompanied by a servant.

With his back to them, watching his figure and listening to his words, Cheng Shicheng confirmed that it was Tao Muxian who just said he wanted to show respect, but ran to the door of his house to stop his brother-in-law.

Tao Muxian, who spoke with his chest upright, had no restraint at all, and it was normal for his voice to come from the wind: “Gu Sicheng, what is pick-up? This is my sister’s home, where are you going to pick it up? Oh, Gufu. No Sorry, my sister is not rare anymore!”

Gu Ningxi hadn’t slept all night. After experiencing the grief of a friend’s death, helping an orphaned girl with a funeral, and rushing here at dawn, she hadn’t eaten breakfast yet, and she already felt dizzy.

However, he knew that he was wrong, and he wanted something from others, so he had no choice but to swallow the bitterness when he heard the harsh words, and swallowed the body fluid to moisten his throat.

Putting on a low-browed and pleasing attitude, he said in a low voice: “Mu Xian already knows, right? I made my wife angry. Even if you scold me, I will bear it. I only hope that you will let me enter the mansion and face my wife.” Make a statement and make amends.”

Tao Muxian became impatient, and his voice became louder: “Who wants to scold you, it’s a waste of tongue! As I said just now, is Gu Sicheng blind and deaf? Um… ex-husband.”

Seeing that Gu Ningxi’s face turned paler as he wished, he did not forget to mutter: “It’s still an annoying ex-husband.”

Gu Ningxi’s stomach was full of blood and tears from the word “ex-husband”, and her heart ached.

He was about to refute “We are still husband and wife”, but before he could say anything, Shihua came up and tugged at his sleeve, reminding him in a low voice, “Madam is out.”

Gu Ningxi was overjoyed, her expression lit up in an instant, her body straightened again, and she looked towards the door of Tao Mansion.

Seeing a pair of Bi people at a glance, they should be saying goodbye reluctantly. The man in the blue robe is tall and powerful, and the woman in the red skirt is slim and exquisite. The atmosphere between the two is harmonious and harmonious, and their shoulders are almost touching.

Even though Gu Ningxi still couldn’t see any of their faces clearly, he had to admit that the pictures were really pleasing to the eye. If he didn’t know that the woman was his wife.

Next to the lady, when will there be such a well-dressed and well-dressed person who is using his body to half-shade the lady from the sun, showing an attitude of protecting the flowers?

Gu Ningxi felt that her mind was in a state of chaos, and she couldn’t make out any clues, and the lightning strike was nothing more than that.

Feeling timid due to the proximity to his hometown, he murmured and asked, “Miss is wearing a red dress today?” He didn’t know who he was asking.

Zhihua nodded heavily, and said “madam” that was about to say, but was choked back by Tao Xinhe’s cool glance, and stood back two steps, hoping that the master would ask for more blessings in his heart.

Tao Muxian sneered and said: “Isn’t that my sister? Look, how happy she is without you, with bright eyes. Oh, it’s a pity that Gu Sicheng couldn’t recognize it clearly. He said he wanted to apologize, but he had to ask the right lord first. How can there be a little sincerity when others determine their identities?”

***

Tao Xinhe looked at Gu Ningxi who was not far away, and found that her heart was peaceful.

Neither want to blame him for not chasing after him last night, nor ask why he is in such a mess now.

Even if she thought of these two points in an instant, she didn’t want to hear a word of the other party’s lies. After all, this is Gu Ningxi who can say “taking a concubine does not affect the husband and wife”.

Besides, after she left yesterday, what did Gu Ningxi go through, and what does it have to do with her?

She looked at this man, wearing a dark brown robe that she had selected and tailored for him last year, but found that the shoulders, waist, etc. were a bit too wide, which could not fully complement Gu Ningxi’s Qingjun figure, so she ordered her servants to press the bottom of the suitcase.

It was really difficult for him, somehow he found his upper body, and today he looked even more empty, the man showed a slight look of frailty.

She closed her eyes silently, mocking herself in her heart, looking at Mo Qiqi, she was so pretty, wouldn’t he eat?

This man is really interesting, he doesn’t care about the new stubble around his lips, he looks heartbroken, is he here to play a trick on himself?

After adjusting her breath, Tao Xinhe opened her eyes and greeted her younger brother nonchalantly: “Mu Xian, come here, we will see off the guests.”

Seeing the details, Cheng Shicheng guessed from the details of the husband and wife looking at each other but not saying a word, that their problem should be quite serious.

He raised his hand and waved Tao Muxian twice to express his respect, and smiled more heartily at Tao Xinhe: “He Niang is too polite, I deeply admire He Niang as a person. If anyone can use me, please give me a thousand dollars.” Wan told, I am willing to be driven, and I will not hesitate.”

As he spoke, Cheng Shicheng swept his gaze over where Gu Ningxi was standing, and saw that the other party stopped and proudly put his hands on his back, then turned his gaze to stare at Tao Xinhe, and waited quietly for the beauty to respond.

He called her, He Niang? !

Gu Ningxi caught the lady’s sweet and crisp voice, and even though she didn’t say a word about herself, she was still happy, and she was about to step forward and hold the lady’s hand to tell her a good story. He lifted his robe and moved forward, but was stopped by Tao Muxian’s elbow, snorting coldly.

As soon as she restrained her staggering steps and bypassed her wife and uncle, Gu Ningxi heard a somewhat familiar man’s voice, calling her lady’s boudoir name affectionately and naturally!

The man’s tone was intimate, implying something, and the meaning could not be studied in detail, as if… as if he knew that the lady had made peace with him!

In an instant, emotions such as embarrassment, bewilderment, and regret came overwhelmingly. Gu Ningxi only felt at a loss. The colorless round bubbles formed when the washerwoman rubs the clothes with soap locusts will burst and disappear without a trace when the breeze blows.

Gu Ningxi shook her head imperceptibly, “My lady~~”, facing Tao Xinhe, she tried her best to raise the volume and call out, like a lost traveler longing for Sinan’s pointer.

Tao Xinhe was actually shocked by Cheng Shicheng’s straightforward words, she frowned and pressed her lips together.

Is it because the generals don’t care about avoiding women’s boudoir names, or is it because Uncle Jichang himself is different and just opens his mouth to women’s boudoir names who are not relatives?

Not to mention, the two of them just met for the first time the day before yesterday, and they communicated politely, without any kindness or resentment, let alone any involvement, so why did they mention driving?

However, this time is not the time to care about the other party’s reckless words, Tao Xinhe opened his mouth twice before making a normal voice: “Uncle Lao Lai will come to the door in person, please go slowly.” Hurry up to see off the guests!

She directed her brother with her eyes.

Tao Muxian understood her sister’s eyes, and after giving Gu Ningxi a hard look, he quickly walked up the steps in two steps, and when he reached the first place Cheng Shicheng stepped down, he stretched out his hand as a gesture of respect, and raised his face with a bright smile: “Uncle, please.”

Cheng Shicheng was very reluctant to let go, his eyes turned twice between Tao Xinhe beside him and Gu Ningxi who was four feet away, and bid farewell to the beautiful woman: “Han Niang, see you next time.” He secretly added in his heart, I will try my best, as soon as possible.

Tao Xinhe bowed her skirt in a salute, avoiding Gu Ningxi’s anxious gaze. Who knows where that person is focusing on her?

As for the distinguished guest’s mention of “goodbye”, her tone was affirmative. She thought Cheng Shicheng was referring to the marriage between Shang Jijia and Gu Runing, and the two parties would meet again, so she kept silent.

**

After half a stick of incense, seeing that the carriage of Ji Changbo’s mansion had turned around the intersection and there was no shadow in sight, Tao Muxian returned to his sister’s side, inadvertently interrupting the silent and stagnant atmosphere between Tao Xinhe and Gu Ningxi.

As if some mechanism had been pressed, Gu Ningxi felt that time was flowing again, her heart was less stuffy, and finally she was able to call out with a tone of incomparable exclamation—”He Niang.”

Inhale as hard as you can first, and then exhale slowly. If so, Tao Xinhe exhaled the breath that was choking in her heart for a long time. She was cold and indifferent, with an ethereal tone, and said her first words since seeing Gu Ningxi: “Gu Sicheng , your name is presumptuous.”
