She Doesn’t Want the Face-Blind Husband - Chapter 49

In the spacious carriage compartment, Tao Xinhe, Second Aunt Gu, and Gu Runing occupied a corner, chatting softly on the way to Jichangbo Mansion.

“Aunt Gu, I have written all the details that may need to be discussed in the follow-up ceremony in the letter, please keep it, if you are not sure, come to Tao Mansion to find me, I am also willing to help you with ideas. “Tao Xinhe didn’t expect that Second Aunt Gu didn’t entrust her sister-in-law, the only official wife other than her in the Gu family, to decide to handle the marriage for her daughter herself. It happened that she just entrusted her once.

Hearing He Niang’s quick change of address, Second Aunt Gu felt emotional from the bottom of her heart, but she knew it was inevitable and she didn’t show any signs, so she just muttered: “You Niang, you just said a lot in the mansion, I was so dizzy, I just I can rely on the guidance you left behind, I hope Ning Niang’s marriage will go smoothly.”

Gu Runing pouted and looked at her ex-cousin-in-law, seeing that she was sitting upright, wearing a cherry-pink Ruyi embroidered brocade gown that fitted her close-fittingly, her hair was full of pearls and jade in her high-cut flying bun, her face was radiant and slender, her skin was pink and white, With long eyebrows and long eyes, a beautiful nose and a beautiful mouth, it seems that she is three points more beautiful than when she was in Gu’s mansion?

“Sister-in-law~~” Gu Runing dragged out the tone, which caught Tao Xinhe’s attention: “It’s no use shaking your head, I’ll just call you sister-in-law, keep calling you sister-in-law, hum! Big deal, I only recognize you as sister-in-law, not cousin That’s all.”

Tao Xinhe thought to herself, she hasn’t seen her for many days, but Gu Runing is still so close to her, why push her away? Besides, it’s unknown whether Qiangniang’s evil intentions have been revealed, but she always feels sorry for Ningniang, so she sighed and said: “Ningniang, thank you very much. Don’t call me like that in front of others.”

Gu Runing smiled happily, and regardless of the slight jolt of the carriage, she raised her skirt and walked to Tao Xinhe’s side, sat down next to her, held her arms, and said coquettishly, “I understand, Lay Tao. I’m going to the uncle’s mansion in a while, do I need to hide or be present?”

Tao Xinhe patted the girl’s tender hands, and after pondering for a while, said: “After meeting with the uncle, you can go to play on your own. Aunt Gu and I will help you explain the matter properly, don’t worry.”

“That’s good. Although Uncle smiled hard, I always felt that he was majestic and unapproachable. When I saw him, my calves trembled slightly. I heard from Cheng Jia that Uncle was originally a **** of death on the battlefield, but it was a pity that he was injured. Staying idle in the mansion, drinking with former subordinates at most, and practicing boxing by myself on weekdays, seems quite boring.”

Tao Xinhe adjusted her sitting posture with slight discomfort, hoping not to show any traces, and at the same time comforted herself. In the next car carrying maids, Qingfang helped her bring two long skirts, so it should be safe.

If it wasn’t for Ji Changbo’s inexplicable gift of submerged spices last night, she wouldn’t have gone out in a state of discomfort. Thinking of this, Tao Xinhe refuted Gu Runing’s words from the bottom of her heart. This person is not boring, but inexplicable.

On the surface, Tao Xinhe just smiled and didn’t answer, Second Aunt Gu softly reminded her daughter not to make arrangements for her elders behind her back, and to respect her father-in-law from now on.

Soon after, when they arrived at Jichangbo Mansion, several female family members were ushered into the main room for guests. Cheng Shicheng and Cheng Jiazheng waited eagerly. Even the eight-year-old Cheng Meng who rarely came out to greet guests was there, and the masters of Cheng’s family all appeared.

There are only three men, such a small population without any female relatives, it can be regarded as a strange flower in a wealthy family.

After the polite greetings between the two parties, Cheng Jia took Gu Runing and Cheng Meng to leave, and the remaining three people, you come and I go to finalize the follow-up process of the marriage of the youngest son and daughter. After Tao Xinhe explained the previous relationship, he hardly spoke, and his attitude of staying out of the matter was very clear.

After discussing the business, Ji Changbo sent his servants to call the young people back, and offered tea and water to Aunt Gu and Tao Xinhe. He was very attentive and said that there were still things to talk about. The two women looked at each other, wondering what trick he was playing, just wait .

After everyone gathered, Cheng Shicheng smiled and said: “There are no outsiders in the house, so please forgive me. In mid-February, spring flowers will bloom in our Zhuangzi outside Beijing. It is quite wild. I sincerely invite everyone to relax, enjoy the scenery, and stay here for a while.” A few days.” Speaking of “everyone”, he looked at the three female relatives.

Gu Runing glanced at Cheng Jia, quite moved, and quietly leaned over to stab his mother and kiss her. Second Aunt Gu thought about it, it would not be a bad thing for her daughter to spend more time with her prospective son-in-law, so she dragged Second Uncle Gu to accompany her as an elder, so as to avoid criticism at least, she nodded in response.

Tao Xinhe thought that Cheng Shicheng was inviting Aunt Gu and Gu Runing, and she might have forgotten herself for a while, but she was not embarrassed, she still had a gentle smile on her lips, observing the young man’s eyebrows and eyes to express affection.

“Great, thanks to Mrs. Gu’s favor, Atao will come too, right?”

Unexpectedly, without any warning, Ji Changbo pointed at him, with an intimate attitude, and Tao Xinhe felt that Aunt Gu’s surprised gaze and Gu Runing’s puzzled expression swept over him, like thorns on his back.

Dazed for only a moment, Tao Xinhe declined with a clever smile: “The affairs of our house are trivial, and we are not so lucky to enjoy the spring. Besides, your in-laws are traveling with you, and I am alone, so I don’t want to disturb you.”

Cheng Shicheng persevered, shook his head and commented: “Tao’s words are wrong. Their young couple’s marriage started off smoothly, thanks to your hard work. There may still be a lot of troubles for you in the future. With your temperament, it must be? Rejected, right? So, how can you miss Atao when they are having fun with their excuses?”

“This…” Tao Xinhe felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, she didn’t know how to deal with the other party’s forceful words.

However, it must not be agreed, under the premise that Ji Changbo’s words and deeds are frequently vague and ambiguous.

Tao Xinhe bit her lip, glanced at everyone present from the corner of her eye, and said carefully, “I’m an embarrassing person now, and I don’t care about it. No matter where I go, it’s just a spoiler. Thank you for your kindness, and I hope you can forgive me.”

After all, he breathed a sigh of relief, Tao Xinhe has always been pragmatic, as long as he can eliminate future troubles, self-deprecation is nothing.

Enough talking, the atmosphere in the room froze for a while, the two brothers Cheng Jia and Cheng Meng who were whispering were silent, Second Aunt Gu looked at Tao Xinhe worriedly, Gu Runing looked hesitantly, Cheng Shicheng looked straight at the beautiful woman with a serious face .

After a long while, Second Aunt Gu said, “Well… Jushi Tao no longer needs to be caught up in Ning Niang’s marriage affairs. It’s better to have nothing to do. It’s better to follow her wishes. Uncle, our family will go. You have to work hard for your house to prepare. If there is nothing else, we will leave today.” She tried to turn around, stood up, and gently pulled Tao Xinhe.

Gu Runing echoed, “Farewell.” He ran to Cheng Jia’s side, and the two chatted a few words.

Tao Xinhe realized that she was in a coma today, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, it was not an opportunity to directly return the submerged spices, but to unload the burden of the woman’s marriage talker, which could be considered an achievement.

Forget it, get rid of this layer of contact, and then ask your father or younger brother to return the gift, and there is no reason or opportunity to meet Ji Changbo, so you can be quiet.

Tao Xinhe took advantage of the situation and stood up, making up her mind to say goodbye.

Cheng Shicheng waved his hands, and his voice was full of anger: “Don’t rush away, Jia’er, call your mother-in-law to visit the mansion, bring your daughter-in-law and Meng’er, and have a light meal together at noon, Mrs. Gu, how are you? A Tao, You should stay even more, I have something to tell you.”

Following the words, Cheng Shicheng walked to Tao Xinhe’s side, and put one hand on the back of the chair she stood up behind.

Second Aunt Gu looked around, and when she was about to say something, she saw Tao Xinhe raised her breath deeply, as if gritted her teeth and said: “Uncle, seeing the gift, dare not accept it?”

Then, Tao Xinhe lightly moved her lotus steps, left Cheng Shicheng’s side, and changed to the chair Gu Runing had just sat on, which was the farthest from the seat. She sat down, as if turning her back on the guest, and pointed to the front: “Uncle, do you want to stand up and teach, or return to your seat?” “

Second Aunt Gu’s heart was pounding, her intuition was wrong, and she was afraid of what she could do, so she was wrapped up and taken away by Cheng Jia and Gu Runing, and Cheng Meng followed behind, leaving a childlike order: “Father entertains distinguished guests, There may be a secret conversation, please close the door quickly.”

**

A man and a woman who were evenly matched looked at each other silently, as if weighing each other’s details.

Tao Xinhe felt a heat flow under her body/below again, and her depression became even worse. She just wanted to make a quick decision, and frowned to break the silence: “Uncle, if I hadn’t heard some rumors, I’m afraid I might have misunderstood you.”

Cheng Shicheng answered with a smile: “Tao’s words are really playful, you want to say, I’m incapable of human/speaking, why do I still tease you, right?”

Her implication was indeed so, but Tao Xinhe coughed uncomfortably when she heard the other party criticizing her.

That’s fine, Tao Xinhe changed the way of speaking, and learned to be straightforward: “Uncle, what exactly do you want to do? Make fun of me? I can’t bear it, so I just took this opportunity to return the submerged spices to Zhao.”

“Ah~” Accompanied by a long man’s long sigh, Cheng Shicheng in a royal blue suit slowly stood up, walked up to Tao Xinhe step by step, wrapped his hands around the armrest of her chair, and pressed down / Go away, forming an ambiguous shadow.

Tao Xinhe wanted to stand up but was blocked by him, she gritted her teeth without screaming, stretched out her white right hand to hold the palm to push back, it was pressing against the hot man’s chest, and then retracted as if being scalded, her left and right hands were clasped in place. On the skirt, her breathing became slightly rapid.

Leaning close to her jade shell-like auricles, Cheng Shicheng said in a hoarse voice, “A Tao, I like you. Is it obvious enough to admire you with a normal man’s heart? Did you feel my heartbeat just now? It’s beating for you.”

Tao Xinhe was terrified, her face flushed, she stared at him, covered her ears with her hands, panting uncontrollably, kicked the man hard in the shin, and shouted sharply: “You are shameless!”

In Cheng Shicheng’s eyes, the beautiful woman is angry and angry, not only a beautiful scene, but also like Guanyin entering the world, or like Luoshen descending Wushan.

His eyes were hot, his smile was obvious, he raised his hands high, stepped back briskly, unscathed, and said, “A Tao, you know it well, don’t you?”

Tao Xinhe was still in shock, taking advantage of her freedom of movement, she carried her skirt and ran to the door without hesitation, her hand was already on the door panel and she was about to push it away.

However, a feeling of reluctance drove her, she paused for a moment, then turned her head and glared at Cheng Shicheng angrily. My heart is full of sadness, could it be because I reconciled myself? In the eyes of others, is she a slutty homeless woman who can be teased at will?

She wants to ask clearly: “Cheng Shicheng, although I have lost my husband, but my father is in the third rank and my younger brother has a promising future, why do you bully me like this?”

Cheng Shicheng’s throat rolled, his eyes softened, and his voice was hoarse: “It has nothing to do with Tao Mansion or Gu Mansion. A Tao, because you are my destined person.”

He walked towards Tao Xinhe again, step by step, and sighed: “When you were Mrs. Gu Ningxi, I wanted to take you by my side. If you want, I can slowly pursue you. I only hope that you will give me a chance. Give me blue eyes.”

Tao Xinhe felt the sound of the strings snapping in her head, and her legs trembled, reminding her master to run away like a rabbit meeting an eagle, but when the two were within reach, she suddenly raised her arms and stretched out her hands, He slapped Cheng Shicheng hard, his palms were numb and swollen, and when he looked at the right side of his face, red marks appeared little by little.

Unconsciously bringing his left hand to his lips, Tao Xinhe bit the tender flesh next to the knuckle of his index finger, his body froze on the ground, thinking about why he was so impulsive, hurt the general, and how he ended up.

Cheng Shicheng looked at her, and suddenly smiled. The slight fine lines at the corners of his eyes testified to his vicissitudes and shrewdness, and then he seemed to be involved in the wound. He put away his smile, turned his head and spit bloodshot saliva on the ground, and then turned around, The two eyes are full of Tao Xinhe’s figure.

He licked the opening at the corner of his mouth with the tip of his tongue, and then said softly, as if he was afraid of scaring her, “A Tao, are you happy? How about this slap for you to accept the spices?”
