MTL - She Doesn’t Want the Face-Blind Husband-Chapter 11
Not to mention how flattered the shopkeeper of Xiangyang Restaurant was, how much he praised Gu Sicheng, the couple should go to the restaurant for a short stay when they have time.
As soon as the guests were sent away, Tao Xinhe immediately turned cold, and vigorously shook off the big hand that kept poking and rubbing her fingers.
"Where did my husband learn to be frivolous?" She asked forcefully, preemptively.
Gu Ningxi looked around the flower hall. Although it was not as private as the main house, it was still considered as one-third of an acre of land in the family. There was no longer any delay, and the most important thing was to make a statement as soon as possible.
He first comforted Tao Xinhe with a few words: "Because I miss my wife, I forgot about it for a while." Then he said to the maids and women who shuttled back and forth to tidy up, "You go out first, and you are not allowed to come in without orders."
As the leader, Qingfang looked at Tao Xinhe when she heard the words, and saw that the mistress shook her head first, and then she was about to say, please forgive me, they still need to be busy in the hall, but she saw Tao Xinhe bit her lip and raised her breath, changed her mind, and waved her hand to signal They quit.
Five or six servants immediately bowed and retreated, and the little maid walking at the end closed the door with good insight.
After the "squeak" sound, the husband and wife were left alone.
Looking at Gu Ningxi's face, Tao Xinhe was upset, she simply didn't say a word, turned her back and closed her eyes to rest her mind, leaving a view of her back for him.
Anyway, I can't see the lady's face clearly, and there is no difference between the face and the back to Gu Ningxi.
He swallowed twice, rolled his Adam's apple, relieved some of his anxiety, and then worked his way up, starting from meeting Mo Qiqi at the gate of the Gongyuan on the third day of September, all the way to yesterday's farewell at the entrance of the alley.
Unexpectedly and within reason, Tao Xinhe heard from her husband how another woman got along with him. Listening, she turned her head unknowingly, staring intently at Gu Ningxi's expression, as if she wanted to prove something from his face.
"So, all living beings in the sky and on the earth, you can only see the face of this Mo Qiqi clearly?" Finally, when Gu Ningxi's last words fell, Tao Xinhe murmured, her voice almost choked with sobs.
The nod was extremely heavy, but Gu Ningxi still pursed her lips tightly and nodded, and let out a long breath from the end of her nose, waiting for the lady to respond to her long-suffering breath.
He went up and down in his heart, thinking back to what he said just now, whether there was any inappropriateness, and added softly: "It is true, it makes me very puzzled. Therefore, I got into a dead end and wronged my lady for many days. However, Qi and I The mother is pure and innocent, the lady must believe me."
Two lines of clear tears rolled down silently from Tao Xinhe's eyes, the crystals were as big as peas, hanging on the side of the cheeks, it seemed like they were about to fall, which added a lot of charm.
She paused word by word, and repeated with difficulty: "So, all living beings in the sky and on the earth, you can only see clearly this, Mo Qiqi's face."
The facial features of a person are just a combination, blurred into one piece in Gu Ningxi's eyes, tears can still be seen clearly.
It is rare for a lady to cry, he was shocked, looked around and couldn't find the handkerchief for a while, clumsily flicked it, grabbed his sleeve, and moved it to Tao Xinhe's cheek lovingly, using the thick cuff fabric to give her a little Wipe away the teardrops little by little.
Feeling the cloth at hand gradually getting wet and warm, Gu Ningxi felt the pain of his wife, so why didn't he struggle with himself because of it.
Maybe he thinks that foster relatives are the best way, so that he is not too far away from Qiniang, and he can occasionally see the clear faces of real people without causing misunderstandings and troubles.
I don't know if the lady heard it clearly just now, but he had finalized his name yesterday, and the crux of the problem has been solved.
Tao Xinhe was sitting on a large armchair, her shoulders clasped tightly, her fingers intertwined, her body tensed to the extreme, her hands and feet were cold.
Although the tears could not be stopped, fortunately Gu Ningxi's sleeves covered her face, so it was fine. She bit down on the soft flesh of her lower lip and did not let go. She even tasted the blood and felt the pain of the flesh being bitten, so she did not allow herself to wail.
God's will tricks people.
These four words were the only thing that kept circling in her mind.
Gu Ningxi was sensitive to discover that the woman's body was not filled with repulsion as it was this morning.
Before, he leaned over the flat table between the two chairs and raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears. Now, he gently stood up and moved to the front of the lady, bent slightly, tentatively, little by little, slowly embracing Tao Xinhe shoulders, and hugged her sideways into his arms.
Passively falling to the familiar and solid man's chest, Tao Xinhe didn't struggle, but unconsciously let go of her muscles, and her ears just pressed against Gu Ningxi's heart. Listening to her husband's beating heart, feeling his deep breathing and rising and falling chest, she miraculously gained some peace.
The two were speechless, digesting their emotions together.
After a while, Tao Xinhe felt a lot of grievance poured out, her tears eased, her lips and teeth finally relaxed, and she blurted out a hiccup.
The slight "hiccup~" sound made Tao Xinhe feel ashamed for a moment, and then she thought about it, there are no outsiders here, so it's okay.
I don't know if my friend heard it, but she couldn't see Gu Ningxi's expression in her current posture, so she wouldn't laugh at her.
Gu Ningxi's chest, which she was leaning on, was already soaked in a large area, and from the corner of her eye, the pearl gray material turned dark gray.
Tao Xinhe adjusted her posture uncomfortably, but was misunderstood by Gu Ningxi, thinking that she was going to escape, so she quickly turned the lady to face her, and held Tao Xinhe's cheek with both hands, as if she was holding a heart, and supported her piously. She, wrapped her up.
Gu Ningxi felt that it was inconvenient for her to bend over and speak, so she just bent her knees and squatted down, her hands on the lady's face could not bear to let go, and she didn't even care about the corners of her robes reaching the ground.
When he squatted down, the two of them turned up and down, Tao Xinhe saw that his eyelashes were all distinct, this man was blessed with a layer of golden rims from the sunlight, adding to his immortality, even though his face was distressed and eager, his whole person still shone like light.
Under the thick long eyelashes, there is Gu Ningxi's big fox eyes, which are slanted upwards, and when she looks into it, it seems that there are two small selves imprinted on her. However, Tao Xinhe understood from the bottom of her heart, sighed and thought, what he saw was nothing but a woman with a tile face.
Gu Ningxi raised his head, met the lady's scrutinizing eyes, sighed and said: "My lady, if you have any grievances, just say it, because of your husband's mistakes, I will let you beat and scold me."
Seeing that Tao Xinhe was not moving, Gu Ningxi slid a hand from her face, grabbed Tao Xinhe's catkin, pulled her to her chest, gathered her five fingers into a fist, and straightened her chest, signaling that the lady can punch her back. , How to solve the hatred.
Half-closed her eyes, but Gu Ningxi didn't feel any pain. Looking again, Tao Xinhe had already changed her posture and used her two hands to break off Gu Ningxi's big palm lingering on her face.
"What does it look like when you're squatting, but my husband still stands up, I'll ask you carefully." Tao Xinhe pretended that she didn't miss the warmth of her husband's palm, threw his hand back, adjusted her emotions, and said in a cold voice as hard as she could.
Only after asking all your doubts clearly can you know whether there is room for saving and maneuvering between husband and wife.
Gu Ningxi was overjoyed when he heard the words and knew that things had turned around. Gu Ningxi was overjoyed, and quickly stood up straight. While brushing off her robes, she replied with a beaming smile, "Your Majesty, just ask, the Empress Dowager will testify, and I will never lie to my husband. If anyone deceives Madam, If you think about it, then let me, uh."
Taking advantage of the short distance, Tao Xinhe stomped on Gu Ningxi hard, not allowing him to talk nonsense.
Gu Ningxi was overjoyed, and said repeatedly, "My lady, ask quickly."
Leaving aside the situation that people are in the mansion but are out of their minds, just clean up Gu Ningxi's recent outings under the guise of being on duty in the Ministry of Rites.
Tao Xinhe has an excellent memory, what did her husband say on a certain day, when did she leave the house and when did she return?
Gu Ningxi gritted his teeth and said one by one, whether he went to the small courtyard of Mo's family or a nearby teahouse, which book he discussed in detail with Mo Qi, how much money, medicine, and books were given; and so on.
Tao Xinhe secretly counted her fingers and found out that Gu Ningxi had lied to her twenty-four times.
Heh, man.
It was the fourth day of the 10th lunar month when he returned home from the Gongyuan, but it was the 9th day of the twelfth lunar month when he got sick in the snow. Two months and five days, calculated, Gu Ningxi will tell a lie to herself in less than three days!
The last one was that after he recovered from his illness, at noon on the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, that is, yesterday, he told himself to go to the Ministry of Rites to sell his vacation, but in fact he hurried to Mo's house.
The number of times he saw women was eight out of twenty-four times, but only one out of three times, which was much less than he had guessed.
But when he thought of staring at other women obsessively eight times, with that kind of focused eyes that he had never had before, Tao Xinhe felt as if a mouse was biting his heart with sharp teeth, and he felt a deep pain.
Furthermore, he said that he should first discuss with Mo Qi about admitting relatives, and then come back and tell himself, why not the other way around?
Why don't you consider whether you want to recognize the siblings as righteous relatives?
The more Tao Xinhe asked, the colder her face became, and she fell silent in the end.
Gu Ningxi really told the whole story this time, without a trace of deceit.
As he was talking, he didn't know what went wrong. It was obviously the lady who insisted on asking for details, so why did he regain his air of resistance?
"Miss, what I'm telling is the truth. I can testify that I can testify to both books and paintings, as well as the brothers and sisters of the Mo family. Oh, the waiters in the teahouse have also recognized me, and they always greet me attentively. How about I invite them here and do it?" Personal certificate?" Gu Ningxi frowned and thought about it, and proposed such a plan.
Tao Xinhe didn't doubt that he was pretending to be a whitewash. After three years of husband and wife, she knew him better than Gu Ningxi thought.
After listening to it from the beginning to the end, she can roughly tell whether it is consistent and whether it is consistent with Mao. She judged that what her husband said today should indeed be the truth.
It's hard for him to remember everything firmly, hum. Are you thinking about it?
"Besides lying to me about going out, what other lies did you tell?" Tao Xinhe ignored Gu Ningxi's "witness" and asked another question.
