She Doesn’t Want the Face-Blind Husband - Chapter 52

On the 20th day of the first lunar month, court officials take a rest every tenth day.

Gu Ningxi arrived at the small courtyard of Mo’s family early in the morning. Before the monks who chanted scriptures came to the door, he entered the mourning hall converted from the main house, and poured three fragrances on Mo Qi.

The butler followed behind him, with a sad face, which looked like a memorial service. After the Shangyuan Festival, the master would either stay overnight in a wine shop, or return home very late after getting drunk, and he didn’t care about the affairs of the two stalls of Gu’s and Mo’s, and put the pressure on the housekeeper, making him miserable.

Seeing Gu Ningxi coming in, Mo Qiqi ignored him angrily, but said to Mo Qi’s coffin, which was going to be buried in the grave in the future: “Brother, someone came to see you. It’s the person who promised you to take care of me but turned back. That’s it.” In the past few days, I suddenly heard a lot of gossip, saying that this man didn’t even want his wife because of me, and the result? I’m in vain, he’s not because of me, he doesn’t even want me.”

Gu Ningxi felt ashamed. After bowing her head and praying silently for a while, she solemnly turned to Mo Qiqi, found her eyes, and said, “Sorry, Qiniang. I let you bear the burden of gossip. However, on the morning of the 16th, all I said were words from the bottom of my heart. After a few days, I thought more and more clearly. Here, in front of brother Mo’s spiritual pivot, I will say again, Qiniang, I cannot take you as my concubine.”

Mo Qiqi’s sobs were heard as soon as she heard it, she raised her hands to cover her eyes, but looked at Gu Ningxi from between her hands.

“Brother Mo, if you blame me, you can punish me as much as possible. I will recognize Qiniang as a righteous sister and help her protect her to atone for her sins. Brother Mo, I just beg you, don’t take your anger out on me. People around you.” Gu Ningxi sincerely told her friends about her plans and concerns.

“Sister-in-law? I don’t want to just be your sister-in-law, Brother Xi. A sister-in-law cannot get along with you day and night, and a sister-in-law cannot bear children for you. I can’t think of a man I can spend my whole life with.” Mo Qiqi Biting her lip, she expressed her wish affectionately.

Hearing this, Gu Ningxi felt inexplicably relieved: “Get along day and night? Have children? Qiniang, are you asking for these two things? If you were my concubine, you couldn’t do it. There is only one person in my heart, and you already know it. Under such circumstances, I will never have any relationship with any woman other than her in my life.”

Taking a deep breath, Gu Ningxi felt that what she said next was an insult to the woman, but the shopkeeper’s reminder rang in his ears, he must be ruthless, and he decided to end it this morning.

So, he sent out his servants and lowered his voice, only for himself and Mo Qiqi to hear clearly: “Qiniang, you have already experienced human affairs, so I will tell you directly. Except for my wife, I have no impulse towards others. If you enter Gu’s residence, you will only be able to stay alone in the empty room for the rest of your life, until you die alone, do you understand?”

These words really shocked Mo Qiqi.

“For Tao Shi, you want to guard your body like a jade all your life? Then why did you reconcile with her? Does Tao Shi know this? In this world, is there really a man who can be alone?” Mo Qiqi couldn’t believe it. She leaves a deep shadow. Men, even if they weren’t all like Gu Ningran, how could they be like Gu Ningxi?

Gu Ningxi nodded heavily: “Actions speak louder than words. Qiniang, I’ll only say this once, after that, let time prove it. Qiniang, think it through, okay?”

Mo Qiqi staggered a few steps and leaned against the corner, speechless for a while.

Gu Ningxi finished her words here, stepped towards the door, pushed the door open, to avoid suspicion of men and women.

Behind him came a weak, intermittent female voice: “Brother Xi, take me…to see Tao Shi. I want to hear what she has to say, what would you say in front of her… Also, remember me As I said, is there something about your enemies?”

Gu Ningxi turned around suddenly, her eyes almost overflowing with joy: “Qiniang, are you letting go? Are you willing to stop being my concubine?”

This kind of eyes, the same joy, but the cause of the joy is completely different from his original joy caused by simply looking at his own face. Mo Qiqi felt desolate in his heart, self-deprecating didn’t get into Brother Xi’s heart at all, and continued to explain: “That man, you repeatedly asked me for any clues, and even searched for neighbors, but found nothing, right?”

When Gu Ningxi reconciled at the beginning, he was worried that the so-called enemies would hurt his wife. Unfortunately, Mo Qiqi kept silent, crying when he asked, and scolding when he asked again. If he was killed, Gu Ningxi would pay for the rest of his life. Faced with such a situation with no clues, he was unable to report to the official, and he was angry all day long, and even drank his sorrows with alcohol.

At this time, I don’t know why Mo Qiqi mentioned it on her own initiative, but Gu Ningxi stared at her, waiting for the next article.

Mo Qiqi thought to herself, Gu Ningran and Gu Ningxi had a good relationship in the previous life, they can be regarded as the twin stars of the younger generation of the Gu family, and of course Gu Ningxi is even better. What would he do if he knew that the person who caused him to entangle him and insisted on getting started was his eldest cousin?

Mo Qiqi shed tears and said: “Brother Xi, after meeting Tao, I will tell you the characteristics of the thief I remember, and let you find him. If you can find him, let him kowtow to me.” If you kneel down and admit your mistake, I will not mention being your concubine again, if you say righteous sister, you are righteous sister, if you say stranger, you can be stranger.”

Gu Ningxi thought for a while, as long as she knew the characteristics and worked hard, she could always find this enemy in the dark. Mo Qiqi’s follow-up request, combined with her tragic experience, is very reasonable, and she can’t show mercy to that enemy.

He suddenly felt that Mo Qiqi became reasonable, and his voice softened: “Okay, Qiniang, I promise you.”

“Brother Xi, don’t rush to be happy, heh… I haven’t finished yet. If you can’t find the thief, or have no way to make him apologize to me, then, my grief and anger can only be borne by you. I will live alone forever. I also admit that I will come to your side to cling to you, guard you, and follow you.”

Mo Qiqi gritted his teeth, and said a series of words: “Also, youth is precious, isn’t it, brother Xi? So, this matter can’t be dragged on forever. When my brother Qiqi, I want to meet Tao Shi. ​​On my brother’s hundred days, you have to find the culprit. On my brother’s anniversary, you give me a final explanation, so what if you pick me up. I’ve set this time, isn’t it too much?”

Gu Ningxi pushed the back teeth with the tip of her tongue, her Adam’s apple rolled gently, and after thinking about half a cup of tea, she responded: “Qiniang, I know you are wronged, thank you for giving me a year, okay, I promise you!”

He couldn’t tell Mo Qiqi, but he said in his heart, lady, do you understand? I have won a turnaround, and I will try my best to find out the enemy as soon as possible and arrange for Qiniang, and then I can concentrate on chasing you to change your mind.

Thinking of this, her heart swelled, and Gu Ningxi felt that the darkness in front of her eyes would no longer be dark, and the dawn would return, and the corners of her lips curved unconsciously.

Mo Qiqi looked at the leaving condition of the man in his heart, suddenly he became more energetic, his face was radiant and radiant, he didn’t know whether to be sad or happy, he was fascinated by it.

**

In the past few days, Tao Xinhe went to inspect the shops run by Tao Mansion, went to the market to buy jewelry and clothing, and went to temples to pray for his unborn nephew. He went in and out with two or four strong men, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

On the 20th day of the first lunar month, Tao Xinhe forbade his father to spend the holidays in the study, forced his father to go to Jichangbo’s mansion, and told a few men that today’s trip is not suitable for them to follow.

The men looked at each other, and the leader boldly asked: “Where does the layman want to go with Yuanwailang? The younger ones are willing to help.”

Tao Xinhe always suspected that they had something to do with the Jichangbo Mansion, after all, they were brought by Cheng Jia, so she briefly mentioned the destination and observed their reactions.

The leader’s expression remained unchanged: “Jichangbo’s mansion, um, looks loose, but in fact it is heavily guarded. The mansion is full of good hands, so it is very safe. Laymen don’t want us to be burdensome, and the younger ones will not go to the class door to get an axe. Today, I will spend time in the mansion. Rest in peace.”

Tao Xinhe sighed secretly, without any clue.

On the swaying carriage, Tao Cheng asked the eldest daughter: “Well, why do you have to go to Jichangbo’s mansion today? You are still mysterious all the way, you have to explain clearly, so I know what to do with people?”

It’s just unspeakable. However, Tao Xinhe had to say something.

She turned her face away, looked down at the corners of her red skirt, and said in a low and crisp voice: “Father, Uncle Ji Chang…maybe have… some ulterior motives for his daughter.”

“Ah, Cheng Shicheng wants to be my new son-in-law?” Tao Cheng stroked his beard and exclaimed.

Tao Xinhe didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and her shame disappeared: “Father! I thought, let you go today, teach him a lesson, don’t allow him to think wildly.”

Tao Cheng used other ideas.

Although both came from scholar-bureaucrat backgrounds, Tao Cheng did not have the sour idea that ordinary civil servants think that women should stick to one’s life.

For the rest of Tao Xinhe’s life, he was unwilling to interfere too much, she was up to her to deal with the child as she liked, Tao Cheng believed that the eldest daughter was someone with big ideas in her heart.

However, if you seal your heart and lock your emotions, and live withered from then on, becoming a walking dead, that’s not okay. Tao Cheng saw that Tao Xinhe returned to Tao Mansion from Gu Mansion, as if she had changed her mansion, and continued to live the daily life she was familiar with. Although everything was taken care of properly, he benefited a lot, but he still felt distressed, and hoped that Tao Xinhe could try something different life.

Just after Tao Xinhe got divorced, a good guy appeared, which showed that her daughter was really hot. Tao Cheng was naturally proud as a father. It was fine to go and investigate the boy’s sincerity, but he couldn’t block the possibility of the eldest daughter’s future all at once.

“Success, Dad understands. I didn’t have much contact with Cheng Shicheng before, and I didn’t expect him to have such a look. I will meet him well today.” Tao Cheng replied thoughtfully.

Tao Xinhe didn’t know what effect it would have if he asked his father to stop Cheng Shicheng.

When Gu Ningxi proposed marriage to her back then, Tao Cheng didn’t like it, so he ridiculed her a few times, but they still got married. During the time of tenderness and affection, Gu Ningxi bit her ear: “Father-in-law’s admonition is very scary. If I hadn’t been sincere to my wife, I might have flinched.”

She hoped that Tao Cheng could show his power against Cheng Shicheng and cut off this annoying rotten peach blossom.
