She Doesn’t Want the Face-Blind Husband - Chapter 48

“Qiniang is in the ear room now?” Gu Ningxi has to go to the Ministry of Etiquette to be on duty in a serious manner today. She got up very early and tried her best to ignore the sleepless sleepless night. She simply used a bowl of noodle soup and let him know books and paintings to help him tidy up and dress up As he was arranging the neckline of the scarlet official robe in front of the mirror, he heard a servant report.

There seemed to be another man and woman buzzing in Gu Ningxi’s ears, “Accept me as a concubine to compensate me.” “If you don’t want her, I’m afraid she won’t think about it.” It’s probably a legacy of listening to the monotonous chanting in the small courtyard of Mo’s family. .

He closed his eyes, sighed and said, “Ask her to sit in the flower hall for a while, ask if she has eaten breakfast, and tell the kitchen what snacks and soup to serve. I’ll go right away.”

Shi Hua glanced at Kelou, and took the initiative to remind softly: “Master, although it’s early this morning, it’s time to take the car in two quarters of an hour at most, otherwise you will be late.”

Seeing that Gu Ningxi nodded to indicate that he knew, he patted his younger brother on the painting and read the book “serve carefully”, and he went to the carriage and horses first to wait.

Li Shu followed Gu Ningxi to the flower hall, and saw three girls sitting or standing inside. Hearing the thunderous “Brother Xi”, he quietly winked at Liu Guang.

Gu Ningxi’s pace was a little messed up and then sped up a little bit. She quickly walked to the seat and sat down, coughed lightly, stared at the teacup next to her hand, and said normally, “Why is Qiniang here, sit down quickly.”

Mo Qiqi first entered Xin Gu’s Mansion, and walked all the way from the gate. Compared with the old Gu’s Mansion in her memory and the only deep house compound she had ever seen, she felt that the new Gu’s Mansion seemed to occupy a smaller area, but it was square and tidy, and the courtyard was orderly. The road is flat, the buildings and pavilions, the flowers and trees are scattered, and the servants are orderly. It is indescribably beautiful and elegant, and I was deeply shocked.

In the flower hall, she looked at the exquisite carvings on the tables and chairs for a while, quietly rubbed and guessed what kind of wood it was, and then peeked at the decorations on the multi-treasure shelf by the wall, and felt that each piece was like a priceless treasure, and she felt more and more that she was dressed in rough linen and white filial piety. I was out of place, and my heart was full of anxiety, and I jumped up and down, and then I simply fixed my eyes on the door, waiting for the master to appear.

This is the loving mansion of Dao Shi and Brother Xi, and it will also become his home in the future, right?

The moment Mo Qiqi saw Brother Xi walking over in Xiaguang, Mo Qiqi felt his eyes light up, and his heart suddenly became at ease. Clothes, bear children for him, and after his death, they will occupy a small place next to the couple in the Gu family’s ancestral grave.

Mo Qiqi responded with a “hey” and sat back gently. With his feet together and his hands clasped, he tried his best to look dignified and reserved, and replied softly, “Brother Xi, I want to visit my wife today. I don’t know.” Madam, would you like to see me?”

“Why do you have such an idea?” Gu Ningxi seemed to have heard Mo Qiqi mention that he wanted to see He Niang, but he had just reconciled a few days ago, where would he conjure up a He Niang for her? For the girl’s mind, I didn’t study it carefully.

“Brother Xi, look, my brother’s first seven days are full, and since he will be buried on the second seventh day, I will just stay in the empty yard and count the days. According to the great monk, it is not so bad luck, so I thought, it’s okay. I met the mistress, and here I come. Is it right? Oh, I also brought a maid, I want to show the mistress, if she doesn’t like something, I can dismantle it and make it again, I am very fast. “

Gu Ningxi felt even more absurd. There was no mistress in Gu’s mansion, and he left in anger. He Niang didn’t want him, let alone this mansion, let alone a little female celebrity. Mo Qiqi was the introduction, and he himself was the culprit who caused this situation in a daze.

He was silent and stared at Mo Qiqi for a long time. From her fluttering eyelashes, eyes that blinked more and more, and lips that were unconsciously tightened, he clearly felt the expectation and anxiety, and thus realized that the little girl wanted to Seek approval and acceptance.

It turned out that people’s emotions can really be conveyed too much from the face and five sense organs, which he has not been able to receive for half his life.

Therefore, in the past twenty-six years, no matter whether he was repeatedly reprimanded by his strict father, bullied by his peers, secretly spread rumors by his colleagues, or even had no relatives or friends, only his wife once accepted him without reservation, and now she also resolutely quits. It’s all right to go, because he is a piece of wood, a rotten piece of wood that cannot observe, understand, or respond to other people’s emotions.

Suddenly, the evil thoughts of wanting to drag others into the same sinking simmered in the dark and took possession of her sanity. Gu Ningxi had a gentle smile on her lips, fixedly staring at Mo Qiqi, using the tone that he was praised by the lady as “clean springs wash ears”, slowly Said: “Qiniang, there is no wife, I have divorced, and my heart is ashamed, I don’t want to take a concubine anymore.”

“He… He Li… shouldn’t be… In the previous life…Brother Xi, did I hear what you said? What do you mean… not wanting to take a concubine?” Like a child who lost his way, the light in Mo Qiqi’s eyes disappeared instantly. Head drooping, shoulders shrunk, waist slumped, the new handkerchief held in his hand was crumpled, his voice was soft and soft, as if he was afraid of alarming some monster.

Gu Ningxi turned her face away, unconsciously tapped her fingers on her thigh, while spurning herself, are you a gentleman? Go back on your word, bully the weak, where is the need for you to gain a foothold in this world?

On the one hand, he was strangely happy, he omitted Xu Xuzhi, risked offending the undead, and bore the reputation of treachery, and in the end, he expressed the deepest thoughts in his heart to the person concerned.

The first words have already been spoken, Gu Ningxi felt that the follow-up words were like a flood bursting the embankment, rushing out of her throat: “Qiniang, I am a sinner. One crime is that I am ashamed of my wife. This has nothing to do with you, so I won’t go into details. Yes. The second crime is that I have tired you brothers and sisters. Brother Mo is better, and I will take care of his funeral. But for you, Qiniang, I feel too guilty.”

Mo Qiqi stared at him closely, thinking that he had really misheard just now, tears welled up from the corners of his eyes, bit his lips and said, “Don’t say that, brother Xi, you are willing to accept me and not despise me, it is thanks to you I.”

Gu Ningxi tried hard to explain herself: “Qiniang, what I want to say is that I can’t accept you. Don’t cry, I see it clearly. It’s not your problem. Yes, I recruited gangsters for you and hurt you. I should I will sacrifice my life to protect you. However, I am not worthy, my conduct is filthy, my soul is insane, and I cannot take care of you.”

He let out a long sigh, looked up at the beams of the roof, calmed down a little, held his breath, and hoped that the moisture at the end of his eyes would disappear as soon as possible.

“Brother Xi! You’ve said a lot, I don’t understand, you just think I’m dirty! You think I’m not a virgin, right?” Mo Qiqi screamed, and wiped away the tears all over her face. He walked quickly to Gu Ningxi’s side, and looked down at the handsome man’s face from above.

As early as when Gu Ningxi was dejected and said “there is no wife”, Liu Guang dragged the others away, closed the door of the flower hall, and guarded outside the house.

Even so, they heard Mo Qiqi’s “Think I’m dirty” and other words in a loud voice at the door, and they looked at each other in blank dismay. Li Shu and Zhuyue quietly walked a few steps away, Liu Guang gritted his teeth, making sure that he didn’t hear the master’s order to keep them away, but still guarded, listened, and memorized.

Gu Ningxi smiled wryly. From the beginning to the end, he never thought that he would have any relationship with Mo Qiqi in this life, so how could he consider whether she is perfect or not?

Yes, he knew logically that because of what happened that night, it would be difficult for Mo Qiqi to marry in the future. The regret that filled his heart at that time was not a lie. Maybe this was one of the reasons why he let go of his concubine. However, it was definitely not him at this time. The reason for rejecting Mo Qiqi.

Gu Ningxi’s field of vision was occupied by Mo Qiqi’s face full of anger and grievance, which was still vivid and clear. He completely felt the little girl’s emotions, how miraculous.

Gu Ningxi stretched out her hand and placed it on Mo Qiqi’s left shoulder. For the first time, she took the initiative to touch her and held her shoulder bone. Then she stood up, pushed Mo Qiqi two steps away gently and firmly, and stood still. Yes, he withdrew his hand, and the two were close to each other.

“Qiniang, I’m sorry, you might as well wipe away your tears and listen to me slowly.” Gu Ningxi had already calmed down, and decided to take advantage of the opportunity to have a clear talk with Mo Qiqi this morning. for a moment.

Mo Qiqi lowered her head, looked at the tip of her shoe, and she burst into tears. She didn’t care, and asked three times persistently with her hands behind her back: “Brother Xi, do you want me or not?”

Gu Ningxi looked around, took a few steps, pulled out the fringed square scarf on the high flower table, folded it twice with both hands, and handed it to Mo Qiqi: “The texture of this brocade is probably a little harder, Qiniang , if you can accept it, it’s better to rub it, little girl, cry, it’s not good.”

Mo Qiqi raised her head in surprise, “Brother Xi, you care about me, so you will still accept me as a concubine, right?” She took over the colorful decorative fabric and wanted to hold Brother Xi’s hand regardless of her reserve, but Being quickly avoided by the opponent, the tasseled square scarf fell to the ground between the two.

Mo Qiqi squatted down to pick it up, and heard Brother Xi’s steady and unquestionable voice bounced to the top of her hair and into her ears: “Qiniang, I have only one woman in my heart, and that is my wife. There is a second person. When I first met you, I thought for a while that you were going to crowd in. For this reason, I lied to my wife and went to see you eight times.”

“Then, I fell ill in Yuxue, my body was weak, but my mind gradually cleared up, and I came up with a way to recognize you and Brother Mo as righteous brothers and sisters. At that time, I thought it was an ingenious idea. Looking back now, I was still selfish. I thought about it from time to time. Look at your face and want to draw a line, don’t cause misunderstanding.”

Mo Qiqi maintained a squatting position, wrapped her arms around her knees, and hugged herself even tighter, thinking to herself, what is “misunderstanding”? What she thought was that foster relatives were the beginning of the relationship between the two parties, paving the way for her own entry in the future, but it was determined by brother Xi, the closest distance to each other?

Gu Ningxi looked away, recalling the deceased, Mo Qi’s emaciated body was in front of her eyes: “That day, during the conversation when you were not present, I promised Brother Mo to find a suitable husband’s family for you. Does it prove that I have never had any wrong thoughts about you. Even, I have continued to rely on my wife and want to entrust your marriage to her. My wife has always been virtuous and capable, and has always handled internal and external affairs properly. “

“So, I thought the two were in love, Brother Xi, the affection in your eyes is all because of me… pretending to be affectionate?” Mo Qiqi finally muffled. She couldn’t hold it any longer, her waist/hip went limp, she sat on the ground with a slam, her legs stretched straight, her hands rested on her calves, her upper body pressed down on the pillow arm, her long yellow and dry braids fell to the ground beside her legs, her whole body was shaking She was trembling, and her hair flicked lightly.

Gu Ningxi hesitated whether to pull the girl up, sighed, but still remained as still as a mountain, and continued: “That’s true. Qiniang, it’s all my fault. It’s my indiscretion that caused you to misunderstand, and I don’t know whose fault it is. Qiu Jia, I came to you… So, I want to make up for it… But taking a concubine is not compensation, it’s another injury to you, do you understand?”

He kept talking all morning, as if he had used up all the words Gu Ningxi had spent in the past few days, and his voice became hoarse: “This is also the truth that I only realized recently. If it was earlier, maybe I could handle it better. Zhou Quan not only reassures Brother Mo, but also allows you to live in peace, and you won’t lose my wife.”

Out of the corner of Gu Ningxi’s eyes, he saw a black-clothed boy gesturing to him outside the window, pointing to the sun to indicate the time, his Adam’s apple rolled twice, and squatting next to Mo Qiqi with his robe lifted, he said with a wry smile: “Qiniang, can you see with me?”

Mo Qiqi raised her head bit by bit, vaguely knowing that the final verdict was coming, she allowed herself to look closely at brother Xi’s pretty eyebrows with misty eyes, and then settled on his ruddy lips, seeing him opening and closing, listening to his voice: ” Qiniang, you are a very good girl, but I am not a good man, please…please, I am willing to do anything for you except take a concubine.”

“What if I only need you and take me as my concubine?”
