She Doesn’t Want the Face-Blind Husband - Chapter 42

“Father, the old lady of the Gu family dragged us to talk about it. What do they mean? Why can’t I hear the name.” Not long after the completion of the witness and departure ceremony, Tao Cheng and Tao Muxian were recruited by the old lady Gu. Go, chatted with me for a while, finally got out, Tao Muxian scratched his head and asked.

Tao Xinhe had already left first, the father and son bluntly declined Gu Ningxi’s proposal to arrange dinner, they walked slowly on the road outside Xingu’s mansion, and waited for Tao Xinhe to turn over their carriage to pick them up after Tao Xinhe arrived at the mansion.

Tao Cheng slandered, did he understand it?

The other party was of a high seniority, he thought of her deceased husband, Prime Minister Gu, who was a good official, and he just responded in the past. Unexpectedly, when I was caught, I answered the question correctly, and I couldn’t understand what I heard, and I was so hungry that I couldn’t bear it.

However, he couldn’t show timidity in front of his son, Tao Cheng said with a “hmm” and said: “The female relatives are used to playing charades, I will go back and ask He Niang to make sure. You know how to pretend to be good, and usually complain about Gu The old lady was cold and made things difficult for your sister, just now it was like a gourd with its mouth sawn, and if you didn’t say a word, let your old man stand up to you, isn’t it ashamed?”

Tao Muxian plausibly said: “Before I came to Gu’s mansion today, my sister gave me thousands of advices that everything should be smooth and divorced. From now on, I will have nothing to do with the people in Gu’s mansion. Don’t be impulsive and talk to them. I will act according to my sister’s words.” .By the way, dad, tell me, how is sister feeling now?”

“It’s such a joy to be alone at ease. Your sister has done what your father wanted to do but failed, and she has no children to drag her down. Naturally, she is in a good mood, and I should congratulate her with a clear understanding.”

Tao Muxian hesitated twice, but still mentioned softly: “Father, don’t you think that Gu Sicheng looks a little pitiful? With such a long and deep **** gash, I looked at it, and it was only a few centimeters away from the corner of his eye. What can I do if I lose my eyes? I heard that it was Mrs. Gu who smashed it out. Just this afternoon, I can’t tell that the kind-hearted old man secretly laid such cruel hands on his grandson.”

There was a “gurgling” sound in his abdomen, Tao Cheng pressed his stomach hard a few times, focused on the food stalls in the night market not far away, and casually said: “Their grandchildren’s business, don’t worry about them. But I heard that the grandson of his family is the most doted on by his grandmother, and Gu Ningxi is much inferior.”

Tao Muxian called “Father” three times, but did not stop Tao Cheng from turning around and turning into a fork in the road to look for food. He resigned to his fate and followed with four servants behind him, and continued: “Father is talking about the editor of the Imperial Academy. Gu Ningran, right? I’ve seen him before. He has good facial features, a bit like Gu Sicheng, but his personal morals are extremely bad, his eyes are not straight, and he always hangs around his female relatives. I heard that his wives and concubines are always there. people.”

I don’t know if Tao Cheng didn’t hear or was too lazy to talk to his son, he found a noodle shop with a thriving business on his own, went in to find a table, ordered noodles, sat down, drew chopsticks, and drank soup, all very smoothly.

What can Tao Muxian do? Although I miss my sister and daughter-in-law, I still have to stay with my father, right?

Tao Muxian sat at the simple table, knocking on the corner of the table, and chattered endlessly: “Who would have thought that Gu Sicheng’s eyes were crooked like his cousin’s. If he failed in school, what kind of concubine would he take? It made my sister sad. Sincerely, I watched and everyone was dumbfounded, dad, what do you think? Also, I looked left and right, and I felt that he seemed to be reluctant to part with his sister, and his mood was the same as before, but in the end the two reconciled and separated, alas~”

Tao Cheng “hululu” ate several chopsticks of hot and slender noodle soup before he had time to teach his son: “We are all outsiders, and they naturally know how well they are husband and wife. What will your sister do? We will stand by her without saying a word.” Just stay with her and protect her. As for Gu Ningxi’s thoughts, your sister must know better than us, what are you guessing? Besides, I don’t think she cares anymore, let her go. “

While Tao Cheng was talking, he thought that starting from the tenth day of tomorrow, he would have to go to court and be on duty during the day, and his son should go back to the academy to study behind closed doors. There are only a few female relatives left in Tao’s huge mansion.

Qiangniang is delicate and ignorant, she is not the same as her eldest daughter at that age, so he told his son to ask his daughter-in-law to spend more time with his eldest daughter to get through this period. Tao Muxian said nothing.

After Tao Xinhe returned home, she ordered the coachman to turn around to pick up the man, and she went to her younger brother’s yard, went to the bedridden Hong Shi, and said with a smile: “Father and younger brother are stuck, I will wait for them to eat.”

Hong observed the elder aunt’s expression, seemingly brisk, hesitant to ask the result. Heli! Things she would never think about in her life.

Especially the ex-brother-in-law, who made only minor mistakes, even his own husband, Mu Xian, will take concubines in the future, right? Why did they really reconcile because of such a trivial matter? Until the whole family went to Xingu Mansion to go through the process, Hong felt in a daze, didn’t he throw a temper tantrum?

What Tao Xinhe talked about was commonplace, without mentioning a word about reconciliation: “Siblings are pregnant at the beginning of their lives, so you must not endure hunger and starvation. You should eat first and don’t worry about us. Don’t get up, just stay in bed and rest. There is no need to make any fuss. I’m here to tell you, and I’m going back to the hospital.”

Under the service of the servant girl, Hong tucked a big pillow behind her back, half lying down and half sitting, lightly pulled Tao Xinhe’s cuff and shook it twice, and asked in a low voice, “Eldest sister, are you really reconciled?”

Tao Xinhe didn’t pay attention, Hong took her sleeve and wiped her wrist. And that skin, which she rubbed vigorously not long ago, almost broke the skin, it was reddish and sensitive.

Under the stinging pain, she let out a soft “hiss”.

Oh, of course Zhenheli is separated, thanks to Gu Ningxi, she still wants to go back to her room to wash her wrists, Tao Xinhe sighed in her heart.

She raised her eyes and saw that Mrs. Hong was in a hurry to let go and leaned over to see what was wrong with her wrist. She hid her bare hands behind her back and comforted her: “I’m fine. It’s true that we’re done with each other. I’ll live back in Tao Mansion from now on.”

Hong shi was silent for a while, and ordered the servant girl to bring the wound ointment, and asked the elder sister to accept it, and earnestly asked Tao Xinhe to take over the housework back to Tao Mansion for the sake of her unstable pregnancy.

Tao Xinhe hesitated for a moment, swallowed the statement that he planned to find another house after February, agreed for the time being, turned and left, went back to the room for a rest, and his mind happened to flash over the recent events.

When the father and son came back, Tao Cheng said that he was full, and the siblings had dinner together.

Seeing her elder sister insisting on “eating without talking, sleeping without talking” and focusing on eating, Tao Muxian felt a little awkward, saying that her sister’s food was sweet and delicious, but her face was expressionless, saying that her food was tasteless, but she ate a lot. Not quite right.

He hesitated to speak for a while, and after the meal was finished and he rinsed his mouth with tea, Tao Muxian said hesitantly: “Before leaving, Gu Sicheng came to me and said some strange things.”

Feeling the laborious operation of the stomach pouch, Tao Xinhe exhaled slowly, annoyed that she was in a trance and had eaten too much. Hearing her younger brother’s words, she responded lightly: “Since I’m looking for you, there’s no need to talk to me. You go to the academy tomorrow, have you packed up your things? You have nothing to do at night, talk to your younger siblings more, and give her peace of mind.”

“I’m worried about your sister’s safety, especially as a woman, so I need to take more precautions. Mu Xian, please pay attention and add a housekeeper in the mansion.” This is the haggard and lonely ex-brother-in-law. Tao Muxian had no choice but to remember the words that he used in a solemn tone.

Since my sister doesn’t listen, let’s arrange it myself, Tao Muxian thought, the mansion has always been stable, but there is nothing wrong with being careful, for a family with children and dependents, there is no harm in adding more people.

The number of servants in the family is nothing more than these, where should I recruit some reliable brave men? Tao Muxian suddenly thought of Cheng Jia who he had met recently, a low-grade military general who was almost the same age as him, and seemed to have a good temper. Would you like to ask him to help introduce some people?

Tao Xinhe saw her younger brother lost his mind, she smiled and nodded his shoulder: “What are you thinking about? Today is a busy day, I won’t see you off, and you don’t want to see me off either. Go back to your courtyards.”

“Sister, go slowly, have a good night’s sleep!” Tao Muxian yelled to her back.

Tao Xinhe, who blended into the dark night, didn’t look back, but waved her hands backwards.

After returning to the room, she couldn’t sleep as she wished. She had nightmares all night, “Brother Mo passed away” came to her ears from time to time, so angry that she got up before dawn, sat in front of the dressing table, and used duck egg powder to cover her faint With dark circles under her eyes, she kept saying to herself that the Gu family affairs have nothing to do with you, let alone the Mo family!

After tidying up her appearance, she sent her father and son off in person, and was entrusted by her younger brother to her younger siblings, so she had no choice but to do her part, arrange daily housework, take care of the pregnant Hong family, and send someone to pick up Qiangniang.

**

On the ninth night of the first day of the lunar new year, Gu Ningxi ate dinner with the remaining elders, and kept silent to all kinds of sour words from the third uncle and three aunts. Every mouthful seemed to be sent into the void, without any sense of fullness.

After the meal, I sent my most beloved youngest son back to the old Gu’s mansion first. Mrs. Gu told Gu Ningxi mysteriously: “I have made an agreement with Tao Yuanwailang, whoever Shuyuan will you marry, and their Tao family will be happy to see her succeed.” .Brother Xi, this time, grandma will definitely be a hundred times better than He Niang if she picks and chooses for you.”

Grandma didn’t know who said that the wound healed quickly if exposed, so she took off the white veil on his face, and at this moment, she was using her tender and pampered fingers to rub around Gu Ningxi’s bloodstain.

Hearing this, Gu Ningxi felt powerless.

He gently took his grandmother’s hand, took it from his face, wrapped it in his palm, and expressed his attitude in the most sincere tone: “Grandma, please take care of me. I have no intention of marrying someone else. Later, He If mother is willing, she can come back to be my wife at any time, if… if she is unwilling for the rest of her life, I will have no wife for the rest of my life.”

Mrs. Gu stood up in a huff, stared at Gu Ningxi, and her tone changed sharply: “Nonsense! You two divorced less than an hour ago! Brother Xi, you have to look forward. What does it mean to be without a wife for life? Do you want to marry me?” What kind of little concubine Mo surnamed you will spend your whole life guarding the general? Do you have deep affection for the daughter of the Tao family, or are you fascinated by the little goblin Mo?”

Gu Ningxi then stood up straight, restrained her hands, bowed her head and said: “The girl from the Mo family that my grandmother mentioned was originally my righteous sister, and taking her as a concubine is a last resort, it is just to protect and compensate the orphan girl, there is no other intention. “

“A lot of nonsense. Brother Xi, if you tell a hundred people in the world, a hundred people will not believe it. Taking a concubine is for shelter? Your grandfather taught you back then, is it because of this? Or was it your father? I told you so?” Mrs. Gu realized at this moment that there was a huge deviation in her grandson’s thinking.

In order to get married as soon as possible and agree with her granddaughter-in-law, she tried her best to explain the truth: “Wives are all right, concubines are just daughters, almost servants, and sometimes they can be bought and sold. Brother Xi still uses grandmother to say these common senses?”

That’s right, is it really good for Mo Qiqi to downgrade Xiaojiabiyu and Juren’s younger sister Mo Qiqi to a humble concubine, from then on to be attached to the master and mistress, without personal freedom?

Is it protection or negligence? Listening to her grandmother’s lesson, Gu Ningxi seemed to have cleared the fog and saw a dark and dangerous boulder. She was blind and riding a blind horse and was pushing Mo Qiqi close. She was about to hit her head and bleed.

“A concubine is for fun, but you went to Heli because you wanted to take a concubine. You made a big mistake because of a small loss, and you used evil to harm the good. You just didn’t clear up the difference between wives and concubines. You really disappointed grandma. You really need to marry someone sooner. A lady from a famous family enters the door, unlike the daughter from the Tao family who comes here on your own will, restrains your heart and left your heart.” Mrs. Gu got angry and brought up the matter of her grandson remarrying.

Gu Ningxi murmured: “That’s right, He Niang let me too much and spoiled me.” The epiphany came urgently and intensely, the fault of taking a concubine was a sign, but the root cause was that he hadn’t considered his wife’s feelings for a long time, just like being raped. A spoiled three-year-old child, innocent and cruel.

Nothing to say, heartbroken.
