MTL - She Doesn’t Want the Face-Blind Husband-Chapter 36
Gu Ningxi thought to herself, the fear and despair before death is probably similar to this time, because the word "harmony" is like a vicious executioner, digging out his heart and soul, dragging out his stomach and intestines section by section. He smashed his whole body into fine powder, making him feel so much pain.
That's right, how naive, how stupid, how self-righteous he is, how could he insist on thinking that what the lady said about reconciliation and righteousness is just to express dissatisfaction, which can be discussed, coaxed, and redeemed?
What did he do from the time when the lady teased "He Li" on the seventh day to when he just woke up like a dream?
One is to let go foolishly and let the weak lady who vomited a while leave by herself and return to her natal home;
The two misjudged the seriousness of the matter, waited overnight in the small courtyard of Mo's family, sent his friend to die, and accepted his invitation to entrust his sister;
The three are the ones who came to chase after his wife yesterday, but they were self-defeating, which made the lady even more angry, and asked Shihua to send more decisive words.
At its root, why?
Oh, yes, Mo's family, Mo Qiqi, because he told his wife that he wanted to take a concubine, so take Mo Qiqi as his concubine.
"A concubine? Haha, Gu Ningxi, you call yourself a gentleman, how can you make such an absurd and rebellious request. You first trampled on the righteousness of husband and wife and hurt your wife's feelings, but you are still lucky. I hope that your wife will share the burden of weak girls with you For the rest of your life? Or is it the only woman in the whole world who you can see clearly? "
Gu Ningxi talked to herself, and finally put herself in the shoes of Tao Xinhe, reviewing this absurd incident.
"My lady is right. How can you still have any affection for her? What's the difference between you and a beast in clothes?" Criticizing herself to the bone, and regaining her sanity, Gu Ningxi saw through her hypocrisy and cowardice, and couldn't help but look up. He raised his right hand and slapped himself across the face.
Gu Ningxi, who was lying on her back with her head turned inward, made an amazing move. Although she was unable to retreat due to high fever, she lacked strength, and the sound of her hands touching her face was muffled, it still shocked the servants around the bed curtain and looked at each other in blank dismay.
The housekeeper took the lead in contemplating what the master and son were thinking, and took the lead in persuading him softly: "Master, you just woke up, so it's important to take care of your health. How about taking some porridge and water to nourish yourself? Are you thinking about your wife? Or are you thinking about the other side of the Mo family?" ?”
Gu Ningxi covered her eyebrows with her right hand, rested her thumb on her forehead, and hooked her little finger to the corner of her eyes. She used all her strength, as if trying to dig her eyes out, to cover up the tears that had flowed out, and her fingertips were wet.
At that time, I was full of the so-called "enemies" who hurt the weak woman, so I was at a loss for the original sin. To my wife, I didn't even say "get some porridge water" as a greeting, what kind of husband is she?
The lady doesn't want him anymore, and he deserves it if she wants to reconcile.
What if... What if he repented?
Could he not take Mo Qiqi as his concubine? Looking for another way to compensate orphaned girls who have been physically and mentally damaged?
In this way, will the lady forgive herself?
Her heart was beating violently in her chest as if she had received some signal. Gu Ningxi sat up slowly with the attentive support of the servants, she was out of her mind, and listened to the butler's orderly report:
"Master, Mr. Mo's side, everything is normal. The body has been put into the coffin, and it is arranged to be nailed on the first seven days. The condolences are in good shape, and the people in our house will take care of the reception. Miss Mo, kneeling in front of the coffin to watch the funeral, It means worrying about your high fever, nothing else."
The butler's words made Gu Ningxi calm down.
Yes, taking a concubine is what I personally agreed to the brothers and sisters of the Mo family, no matter how blank and impulsive it was at the time.
He dullly understood how much this promise hurt the lady and also violated his own heart. The matter was not as simple as he imagined, it was just that the mansion protected one more orphaned girl.
Compared with the righteous sister, the concubine is a completely different existence, and he himself ruined all of this.
Brother Mo is dead, maybe the spirit in the sky is looking at him, if he breaks his promise, will he offend the soul? Confucius said, "Respect ghosts and gods and keep them at a distance", what if you are convicted? It's okay to punish yourself, will it bring trouble to the surroundings? What if the lady is involved?
There is also an enemy who hides in the dark, making Gu Ningxi unable to figure out what to do. How could someone bully a weak woman under the banner of seeking revenge?
Being able to see Mo Qiqi's face clearly was the reason why he got close to her, and it was also the beginning of bringing disaster to her.
Maybe, without my intervention, the siblings would have returned to their hometowns to recuperate, Mo Qi would be able to return to Beijing to take the exam three years later, and Mo Qiqi would be able to marry a happy family. It's not the current tragic situation at all.
The more Gu Ningxi thought about it, the more twisted she was, the more she got into a dead end, and she didn't remember the premise of Mo Qi being ill all the time.
Such a terrible enemy, why can't he face himself? Who the **** is he, hurt Mo Qiqi, will he, will he attack the lady?
The tragic situation of Mo Qiqi appeared in front of her eyes. Gu Ningxi clearly remembered her swollen side face and squinted eyes. He was suddenly covered in cold sweat. If something happened to the lady and she became like this, it would be better to kill him!
He didn't notice that the butler went out and entered the room again, at this moment he said softly: "The second wife is here."
**
Yesterday, Tao Xinhe was in the second room of Gu's mansion, in the small private space, only she and Gu's second aunt were there, and she confided a lot of thoughts.
Looking at the kind and compassionate Second Aunt Gu, I heard her say "good boy, you have been wronged" over and over again. Tao Xinhe didn't even hold back, and shed a few tears.
However, for Second Aunt Gu's persuasive persuasion: "Men all over the world are promiscuous like this. Brother Xi is clean and self-sufficient, and he can't bear the fact that there are too many thoughtful girls outside. He Niang still bears with it, so let's go." gone."
Tao Xinhe completely disagreed, and looked up at Second Aunt Gu, her eyes were shining brightly, like shining jewels that had just been polished, and she replied clearly: "Second Aunt also knows how single-minded Gu Sicheng is on weekdays. It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s not an exaggeration for me to support Gu’s mansion for someone who studies knowledge and doesn’t care about everything? What am I trying to do?”
Stunned by such firm eyes, Second Aunt Gu realized that she never seemed to think about it—"What do women want to marry". Isn't that how everyone came here? Choose a son-in-law to marry, take care of the housework, have children and raise them until old age, and it will be considered a stable life.
Tao Xinhe asked herself and answered: "I have always had a place to live in Tao's mansion. At the age of 20, I was still unmarried. Even though there were few people who proposed marriage, it was also because of my arrogance. Being given by others. I once thought about it, so what if I don’t get married for the rest of my life? I found that there is no difficulty. My father will definitely support me. meaning."
Aunt Gu heard it at the time, and murmured: "How can the little girl not marry?" But she was attracted by the detailed scene described later by the nephew and daughter-in-law. They lived in another courtyard for their father, and their younger brothers and sisters all respected her. , I often come and go with their families, and hand over several handkerchiefs, so that I can have fun and be alone. As long as you worry about what to eat and what to play every day, there is no one to control you, and you don't have to do your best for anyone. What's wrong with it?
Tao Xinhe continued to tell Second Aunt Gu about her journey of getting married back then: "When Gu Ningxi proposed marriage, he said that he respected my character. I thought I met a bosom friend, so I changed my mind about not marrying for the rest of my life, and I was willing to try for him. It's good to try to get married. I hesitated, and wanted to wait for the two to get used to it after marriage, and then explain to Gu Ningxi that I don't like a third person being inserted between husband and wife. It's okay to break up or be a polite and distant couple."
"On the day Brother Xi married you, we said that we would be a couple for life. Our guests all heard it. Second Aunt still feels that words lingering in her ears." , her inner thoughts were so strong, following her description of the year, she recalled the wedding banquet for her sister-in-law.
Tao Xinhe nodded, she was about to say this, since she confessed her feelings to Second Aunt Gu, she wanted to say it happily:
"The second aunt is right. He didn't ask the matchmaker to pass on this promise in advance. I heard it under the hijab at the wedding banquet. I was very surprised and grateful. I am grateful to God for letting me meet the right person. Even this I want to be together. So, I just want Gu Ningxi's person and heart. Although I dare not compare myself to a scholar, I have spent more than three years with the feeling of repaying my confidant."
Tao Xinhe didn't want to talk too much about her overpaying in her marriage, for example, some mean female relatives talked in private, saying that she was not decent at all for being in the male guests at various banquets for the sake of her husband.
Therefore, Gu Ningxi wants to take a concubine. For her, in addition to the pain of being humiliated as a regular wife, it is more of an embarrassment that she feels that she has been let down and abandoned like a pair of shoes. My own self, denied by my beloved husband, seemed to walk side by side halfway through life, and was abandoned by the companions who watched and helped each other.
She could no longer be in the same room with this man who had a hideous face in an instant, and even thinking of him made her feel sick.
To her, Gu Ningxi at this moment is no longer her husband she loves. Gu Ningxi, who used to dote on her, trust her, admire her, and rely on her, has disappeared. What exists now is just a character of the same name with a good-looking appearance, a dirty mind, and treachery.
**
Gu Ningxi was not in the mood to meet people, and the housekeeper added that Aunt Gu was said to have Tao Xinhe's instructions.
The housekeeper was overjoyed, thinking that the message from his wife was a harbinger of reconciliation between the masters, but Gu Ningxi had a different premonition.
After tidying up her appearance a little, Gu Ningxi took weak steps and reluctantly walked to the reception flower hall, facing the back of the restless elder, she greeted in a hoarse voice: "Morning, Second Aunt."
Second Aunt Gu listened to Tao Xinhe's story yesterday afternoon, she was so uncomfortable that she didn't sleep well all night, she left home at dawn and went to Xin Gu's Mansion.
Angry at her nephew running away his wife for other women, Second Aunt Gu thought about scolding him first when they met, but she was shocked when she saw Gu Ningxi's haggard appearance.
At this time, Gu Ningxi was so weak that her gait was unsteady. After letting the guests sit, she sat on the armchair by herself, holding on to the handle of the chair tightly to maintain her balance. She was in a trance, and Aunt Gu was always worried. The next moment he would be falling forward.
His face was pale and sick, his eyes were wandering, the corners of his eyes were red, there were faint finger marks around his eyes, his lips were chapped and slightly swollen, and he was breathing with the help of his nose. How could he still have the demeanor of a fairy in a painting?
After all, she was the child she watched growing up, Second Aunt Gu lamented, and said distressedly: "How did you trample yourself like this?"
Gu Ningxi twitched the corners of her mouth for a wry smile, shook her head, and asked what she wanted to know the most: "Second aunt said, my wife went to see you yesterday? Do you have something to bring to me?"
Second Aunt Gu tilted her head, coughed twice, and said: "Well, He Niang's younger sister is temporarily staying at our house for the past few days. She came to visit yesterday and talked about your affairs by the way. Please let me tell Brother Xi a few words. talk."
Gu Ningxi forced herself to sit up straight, and put on a posture of listening attentively, but her heart was like a mirror. The lady invited the second aunt to come back and urged him to reconcile.
