MTL - She Doesn’t Want the Face-Blind Husband-v2 Chapter 82
At dinner time, Tao Cheng finally came out of his room and ate with the children at the same table with a tired face.
Tao Xinqiang saw that her father seemed to be picking up some food, but the chopsticks stopped in mid-air for a long time, so she knew that he was fascinated by his weird research again, and reminded her softly, "Father! What kind of food do you want to pick up, I will help you." You."
Tao Cheng thanked the three daughters with a smile, and listened to his daughter-in-law jokingly said: "Father, you worked hard in the study in the capital, and it is the same when you come to Zhuangzi. It is all because of us. You are tired and moved here."
Tao Xinqiang answered: "That's right, Dad, you might as well stay in the capital, so as not to have to carry so many miscellaneous things here, and you will have to move back to Beijing in a few days. You don't go out here and don't go to see the scenery, what's the fun."
Tao Cheng shook his head, saying that his son Tao Muxian only takes one day off in January, which is harder than being an official. He is the head of the family, and if the female family members want to go out, they naturally have to accompany them. Besides, the eldest daughter He Niang also requested the same.
At this point, he looked at Tao Xinhe who was holding a small soup bowl in a daze, letting the hot soup form a layer of grease, scratched his hair and asked: "By the way, He Niang, I vaguely heard in the morning that we never How many people were caught in the river, what happened afterward?"
"Her Lady? Her Mother?"
The mellow male voice yelled again and again, only to wake up Tao Xinhe who was in deep thought. She forced a smile and explained the ins and outs to her father.
It's useless to worry about the situation belatedly, but what if my father is always like this?
Tao Xinhe had two things in one mind, while comforting her father that Gu Sicheng was recuperating in the nearby Zhuangzi, and at the same time replaying Cheng Shicheng's heartfelt words to her before.
Seeing the seriously injured Gu Ningxi suddenly, she felt flustered and depressed. Could it be that everyone has a heart of compassion? Is it just that women are soft-hearted and kind-hearted?
At that time, she categorically denied that she had no attachment to Gu Ningxi, and was duplicity, and was praised by Cheng Shicheng with a "clang". In reality? What is the reason for the deep pain in my heart and the trance in my dream at midnight? God knows that she knows herself.
Cheng Shicheng pointed out: If Gu Ningxi was face blind all her life, resulting in clumsy handling of people like a child, Tao Xinhe would always be happy because she is a good wife. But Mo Qiqi appeared out of nowhere, her face was so special to Gu Ningxi, it was a hurdle they couldn't get over, and He Li was a sure proof.
He asked Tao Xinhe, this Mo Qiqi might not be in line with Gu Ningxi's taste, or he thought he could clearly distinguish between being special and cute, and now he is arguing not to take concubines, and wants to get his "wife" back. But what about the future?
Now that there is Mo Qiqi, it means that his prosopagnosia varies from person to person, good and bad. Then, in the future, will he meet other women who can make him see his face clearly, make his prosopagnosia heal without any medicine, and make him admire and fascinate him more than Tao Xinhe?
In case, Tao Xinhe was confused by his injury at this time, turned around and accepted Gu Ningxi again. When girls like Mo Baba and Qin Qiqi appear in the future, how will Tao Xinhe deal with herself?
Cheng Shicheng's words were like a slap in the face to Tao Xinhe, or a thunderbolt.
Ever since meeting Mo Qiqi on the 30th day of the first lunar month, although she thought it was ridiculous for her to abandon Gu Ningxi to seek her own asylum, Tao Xinhe still cared. When he was alone, his thoughts were disturbed and turbulent, maybe it was a sign that he hesitated to excuse Gu Ningxi.
In the long life, who knows who will be arranged by fate to meet each other and get to know each other?
Gu Ningxi's destined person, what if there is more than one Mo Qiqi? A Mo Qiqi that she really knew made her feel sad. In the world, if there are other girls like her who can break through Gu Ningxi's face blindness?
This possibility is vague and uncertain, just like a monster that will pounce from the dark at an unknown time, once it shows up, it will draw a deep trench between her and Gu Ningxi, will she struggle with it for the rest of her life?
Because Gu Ningxi wanted Namo Qiqi to be his concubine, Tao Xinhe used determination like a broken arm to complete the reconciliation. Now, he said no, but Tao Xinhe believed it. But what about the future? What will he do next?
How many times can Tao Xinhe endure the pain of breaking her arm? If there is an heir after the reconciliation, can she still keep the decision to leave? If the situation is like that, will she be as bored as her father for most of her life?
After much deliberation, Tao Xinhe said to Cheng Shicheng at the time: "I understand. I treat Gu Sicheng like an old acquaintance, and I won't have any other intentions. His injury has helped my heart to a certain extent, reminding me that I have discovered Gu Ningran's truth." It's unbearable, so I just added some thanks to him. Unexpectedly, Uncle is such a person who gives words so easily, what he said just now is deafening, I will chew and think about it."
And before Cheng Shicheng left, he seemed to have no intention of mentioning that Mo Qiqi should arrive tomorrow morning, and she must be careful and thoughtful to take care of Gu Ningxi.
It was also because of this that Tao Xinhe failed to ask Zhuang to visit Gu Ningxi, otherwise it would appear that she said one thing and did another.
Now at the dining table, Tao Cheng sighed after listening to the whole story, sympathized with Gu Ningxi's suffering, and was going to visit under the moonlight.
Tao Xinhe inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, and responded crisply: "They passed over from our village in a hurry, and they didn't bring anything. If dad goes, my daughter packs some supplements and clothes, and you hand them to the servant next to Gu Sicheng. They are called Li Shu and Li Hua, respectively, to make them more convenient to use.”
Tao Cheng murmured: "Is there anything on Uncle Jichang's house? Besides, I'm here to visit my colleagues, not my son-in-law. When you prepare things, He Niang, pay attention to the scale."
Tao Xinqiang also wanted to go together, but was scolded by Tao Cheng with a straight face: "I heard that Gu Sicheng was injured in the chest. Even if he pulled out the dagger, he must be disheveled. Can you go into the room to see him? Since you can't enter the room, Under the pretense of looking after the wounded, you just hang out in other people's farms. When is it bad, do you have to go into the night after dinner? Will the master and servant criticize you? No, you can't go."
As if reminded, Tao Cheng turned to ask the eldest daughter if she would go.
Tao Xinhe gave a forced laugh, and answered with her head bowed: "What Dad said just now is the truth. It's not convenient for Qiangniang to go, and it's not convenient for me either. It's enough for you to represent our Tao House. Besides, uncle said when he came over in the afternoon However, Gu Sicheng is still in a coma due to high fever, and he may only wake up tomorrow or the next day. You have nothing to see in the past, so come back early when you have done your best. After all, you have to go through the wilderness and dense grass. People are tight."
Tao Cheng muttered: "I'm afraid that those who are awake or unconscious over there are expecting you to go." The voice was not loud, and only Tao Xinhe who was leaning against him heard it, but she didn't answer, and picked up the chopsticks again, concentrating on Take small bites, as if you just discovered that a table of farm dishes are rare and delicious.

It was still February 20th, and the night was already dark. In the capital, there were two places.
Cheng Jia didn't expect that Mo Qiqi, a frail little girl, who looked innocent, made up her mind to leave the city before the city gates closed, and rush to the suburban villa in Beijing at night, instead of going out early the next morning as he suggested.
"The journey at night is slower than during the day, and you have to take it all night. You have to go through the wilderness and outskirts. Tonight, the moon is covered by dark clouds, and you can't see clearly. It's very hard, even if you sit in a carriage. It's comfortable. Miss Mo, have you thought it through?" Cheng Jia reminded her again.
Mo Qiqi nodded quickly and anxiously, and urged: "Master Cheng, let's leave now? I haven't seen Brother Xi for several days. Although I complained that he was stupid, I still miss him. Listen, he It seems that the injury is very serious. I'm not bragging, I'm good at taking care of people. Brother Xi needs me right now."
Mo Qiqi casually grabbed two pieces of her own change of clothes and was about to go out. It was the butler who heard the matter and felt that it was not appropriate to let her go alone, so he quickly assigned three mature and steady male and female domestic servants, and sent someone to replace Liu Guang from the wine shop, and asked Mo Qiqi to bring Liu Guang and Zhuyue.
No one can say how many days he will live in Zhuangzi and what the master's condition will be like, but after all, he is living here after a serious injury, so there is no harm in bringing more things. So everyone was busy and tidy up, and hurried out of the city two quarters of an hour before closing the city gate.
Cheng Jia led the horse, and behind him were nearly ten attendants from the uncle's family, all of whom rode horses, two of them rode with the two members of the Gu family, and guarded the carriage on Gu Sicheng's mansion, in which sat Mo Qiqi and other four The girl servant, a group of people meandering forward, frightened the sleeping birds, stepped through the moonlight, and ran towards the suburbs of Beijing dozens of miles away.
Before Mo Qiqi left, he didn't ask, how is Gu Sicheng's cousin, Gu Ningran who also fell into the water, what is his current situation?
At this time, she was drowsy as the carriage bumped, and she murmured to herself: "The disaster has lasted for thousands of years. That person may not die so easily. I don't know if he is also recuperating in the village. If so, I saw him, yes Shall I cut him again or slap him? Have I brought the scissors?"
Zhuyue and another maid were already falling asleep, Liu Guang tried to persuade Mo Qiqi to take a nap, so that he would have the energy to see his master tomorrow.
Mo Qiqi said that she couldn't sleep, but unknowingly dreamed about trivial things in her previous life.
She dreamed that Gu Ningran was secretly discussing something with Mistress Cao, and she happened to pass by and listened.
It seems that Mrs. Cao is urging: "Have you read the letter from the governor of Henan? What a great opportunity to recommend him. It's rare that he still remembers his grandfather and wants to help the descendants of the Gu family. But, Gu Ningran, your cousin is a fifth-rank official. Seeing that it is about to flourish, the contacts left by grandfather, you think, will support you or Gu Ningxi?"
Gu Ningran's indignant voice made Mo Qiqi in the corner tremble: "I am the grandson of my grandfather! Gu Ningxi is younger than me, and his parents are orderly! He doesn't even have a child, so he doesn't know how to inherit responsibility! These people It’s also the dog’s eyes that see people as inferior, what’s wrong with me at the seventh rank now, there are always times when I wear red clothes and purple, and they should help me at this time.”
Cao's voice became lower and lower: "Gu Ningxi, just yelling at your daughter-in-law is nothing. You think of a way to make Gu Ningxi no longer a grandfather and grandson, so he won't be able to take advantage of you?"
In her previous life, Mo Qiqi felt very tasteless, knowing that she had nothing to do with her, and worried about being found listening to the corner, so she quietly slipped back to her hut.
At this moment, Mo Qiqi felt that the voices of these plots were like a nightmare, frowned and shook his head, shouting "No, no, brother Xi's surname is Gu!" as if dreaming, and woke up, touching his back with cold sweat.

Third Aunt Gu looked at her son's head and face that had been scrubbed, and said to Cao with deep worry: "I heard that being an official is very important to look good. You see, but the wound on my forehead is so deep, I don't know how long it will heal." No scars will be left, this position can’t be covered with hair, if he wakes up and sees it, he will lose his temper, right?”
Mrs. Cao glanced at the position of her mother-in-law's fingers, and thought otherwise: "It's a big deal to get more fans, as long as he is the eldest grandson of Prime Minister Gu, Shangguan will not deliberately make things difficult because of these flaws. Mother-in-law, I have seen Tao If you believe me, you will turn black and white, squirt blood, and pour a large basin of dirty water on your husband's head, but luckily it didn't go directly to grandma, we need to come up with an idea."
"I feel dizzy when I see the small characters in balls. Mrs. Cao, tell me about it, what did Mrs. Tao say?"
Cao Shi snorted coldly: "Tao Shi said, according to the account of the strong servant next to my husband, he had a perverted idea about Tao Shi, and deliberately ran to such a desolate suburb of Beijing early in the morning to write a paper contract for her to leave the village. Then Gu Ningxi Showing up to stop her, my husband was going to kill someone, so he stabbed Gu Ningxi across the face. As a result, the two fell into the water because of their entanglement, and were rescued by the Tao family and sent back."
"Tao Shi also said that because Gu Ningran is an official, it is inconvenient to hold him privately, and the elders can take charge, so he sent him back magnanimously, but he asked his grandmother to uphold justice and give her an explanation so that she wouldn't panic. All day, day and night, I worry about Deng Tuzi spying on''.
This sentence is the most exaggerated, she said, if our Gu family keeps silent, she will ask her father to come forward and discuss right and wrong with the husband and superior of the Imperial Academy. Mother-in-law, do you think this Tao is deceiving too much?"
