MTL - She Doesn’t Want the Face-Blind Husband-Chapter 16
"You are not allowed to treat He Niang badly. If she is wronged, my Tao Mansion will open the door to wait for her to come back at any time." Ever since Gu Ningxi proposed marriage, Tao Cheng always said this sentence.
Gu Ningxi's ears were starting to get calloused, from the serious response to the promise at the beginning, to the simple four words "father-in-law rest assured" are enough to get over it.
Tao Cheng was satisfied and reprimanded his son-in-law for a long time, from how He Niang subdued him when she married him, to how much Tao Mansion missed her daughter.
Gu Ningxi smiled bitterly, turned around and said goodbye, just waiting for Tao Xinqiang who came to bid farewell to her father, the two left the house together, Gu Ningxi asked his wife and sister to go ahead.
Thinking of how happy his wife would be to see his younger sister, he lightened up. His own carriage led the way, followed by Tao Xinqiang's carriage, and brought another cart to return the gift.
"Sister, I'm here, this time I can guard you for eight days, you have to accompany me all the time." As soon as she got off the carriage, Tao Xinqiang couldn't wait to rush to the inner courtyard, leaving behind a string of silver bells and laughter.
Gu Ningxi was instructing his servants to move things carefully, and only thought of this after hearing the words, and felt deeply wronged.
He managed to resolve the rift with his wife today, and the yamen sealed the holiday. The husband and wife were supposed to stay together day and night, but he came back with a lady's twisted candy.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Ningxi shook her head to herself, why are you still competing with children for favor?
Stepping up to catch up with his wife and sister, he said softly: "The lady may be waiting for you in the main room, follow me."
At the same time, Gu Ningxi thought, as long as the lady is happy, then everything will be fine. They are husband and wife, and they will have a long time to come.
It gets dark early in winter, when Gu Ningxi and the others returned to the mansion, the sun had already set in the west, and the twilight was foggy, making the mansion even more hazy and the scenery gentle.
Because it was late, Gu Ningxi thought that the second aunt had already left. After all, during the New Year's Eve, all the houses were full of busy affairs, and the second aunt was also the mistress, so shouldn't she come and go in a hurry?
Unexpectedly, when he took Tao Xinqiang straight to the inner courtyard, a maid blocked the way to salute, and reported that his wife and guests were still in the flower hall in front.
When Tao Xinqiang heard that Gu Runing was there, she cheered even more, and followed the maidservants to look for them.
Gu Ningxi originally thought that the wife and sister would always go back to the room to pack things after seeing the lady.
He can take advantage of the time when the two of them are alone, and use the excuse of passing on the family's words to show off to He Niang. How appropriate is it to go to the Yue's house alone to do business?
But the timing was not right now, so he had no choice but to put down the idea of trying to please, and went to see relatives in a leisurely manner.
When he lifted the curtain and entered the door, he saw four female family members sitting around a table in a room, chatting about clothes and jewelry, laughing together from time to time, which was very lively.
However, facing this harmonious scene, Gu Ningxi just wanted to smile wryly.
That's all for the four blurred faces, at least he knows who they are, which is better than when he is in a strange place.
The terrible thing is, how can he tell the difference between the two women in the room wearing water-red clothes?
The second aunt saw him by the door first, and said: "Brother Xi, is it cold outside? Come in to warm up, put down the curtain by your hand, or the heat will run away."
When Gu Ningxi heard the elder's voice, her heart was relieved, she smiled shyly, greeted "Second Aunt" softly, rubbed her hands together deliberately, put them to her mouth to breathe out to keep warm, and said: "It's a bit cold, but it's okay. "
As he spoke, he approached the round table, paying attention to the reactions of the two women in water red dresses, hoping to confirm his wife.
"Brother-in-law, you are so strange. I clearly said on the road that the robe my sister sewed for you is very good, and it can withstand the wind and cold. You are not afraid of the cold weather at all." Pay attention and dismantle the table.
One of the women in a water-red dress smiled "puchi", it was not a lady's voice!
Gu Ningxi basically guessed it, and smiled and said, "You have a good memory", while walking to the side of another woman in red who had not made a sound since he entered the room, and secretly looked at her with full eyes.
On the top of the woman's head was the bun with the tail that he was familiar with, and the two haircuts he sent were also decorated. Gu Ningxi was 70% sure, and looked at the clothes carefully again, the pattern of the fabric matched, it should be correct.
It may be because the husband and wife of the main family did not talk to each other, and the atmosphere was always not right. The other three people gradually stopped talking, some drinking tea, some undressing, and there was a moment of silence.
Gu Ningxi sensed it, so it's not good to wait for the lady to confirm, put her hand on the shoulder of the woman beside her, and said softly: "Lady, how long have you been chatting with the second aunt and cousin?"
The outsiders didn't see that his hand only touched the water-red shirt, and he didn't apply any force to the skin under the clothes. As if he was about to touch a hot potato, the next moment he would pull his hand away.
In order to maintain this ingenious posture, Gu Ningxi's slender and well-proportioned hands and joints protruded slightly.
Tao Xinhe was just waiting for him to say "lady" on her own initiative, she didn't know what to be stubborn about, it was completely different from the past, when she saw Gu Ningxi, she would take the initiative to meet Gu Ningxi, she never had to be so cautious to identify her.
Quietly let out the long breath that had been held since her husband came to her side, Tao Xinhe acted nonchalantly, as if she hadn't tested him secretly, her brows turned back to smiling, and she said Gu Runing's happy event in a crisp voice.
Gu Ningxi repeatedly expressed her joy, asked if there was anything she could do to help, and naturally sat on the chair that the maid had just added, just guarding the lady.
He also quietly moved three inches closer to the lady, and stretched out his hand to caress, holding Tao Xinhe's catkin and not letting go, quickly interlocking his fingers.
The sharp-eyed Gu Runing saw it, and envied and teased for a while, Tao Xinqiang and You Rongyan answered the conversation with a smile, saying that her sister and brother-in-law are a match made in heaven, and they are the most beautiful.
Tao Xinhe glanced at Second Aunt Gu sensitively, wondering if she remembered the words that reminded herself, did she feel that the husband in front of her was acting contrived?
**
After the lively dinner, the second aunt who was full of praise and thanks and Gu Runing who was reluctant to part with Qiang Niang were sent away. Tao Xinhe was extremely tired, looked at the third sister who was staring, and said with a wry smile: "My good sister, please spare me one night, tomorrow Listen to what you have to say, okay?"
As she said that, she covered her mouth and yawned again. She felt that her mind was not clear, her forehead was bulging and painful, and she rubbed her eyelids regardless of her image, just wanting to fall asleep immediately.
"My sister didn't wear **** clothes today." As if she had just discovered some anecdote, Tao Xinqiang yelled, seeing her sister was extremely sleepy, she kept silent, nodded vigorously, and signaled her to go to rest.
Tao Xinhe felt even more headache. The second aunt said that during the family affairs, Mo secretly asked her the reason for changing the color of her clothes, but she evaded it, and now her younger sister, who has always been a big lala, has also noticed.
Did she use **** to lock her husband's gaze, and at the same time lock herself?
**
Gu Ningxi was held back by her second aunt, she murmured something, she stood at the door of the mansion for a long time, dazed by herself, she didn't even notice that the lady brought her wife and sister in.
It wasn't until the night wind whizzed by, and something fell to the ground and made a "pop" sound, that he suddenly came back to his senses, and realized that he was breaking out in a cold sweat. The chill was piercing his bones, and he hurried back to the inner courtyard, walking faster than usual I was in a hurry.
"My lady? My lady!" Gu Ningxi's gentle voice carried a bit of urgency.
He walked into the main room but did not see Shui Hong's figure, he couldn't stop thinking wildly, the lady had obviously calmed down at noon, did she feel sulky again when she heard the second aunt mentioning Mo's house again?
He even looked intently at the two maids staying in the room, one was making the bed and the other was adding water to the teapot.
The lady will not repeat the old tricks and play the role of a maid, right?
Gu Ningxi couldn't see why, she clenched her hands and coughed twice.
The two servant girls squatted down in his direction and saluted: "Slave Liuguang, please greet the Lord."
"Slave chasing the cloud, please greet the master."
"Where is Madam?" Gu Ningxi realized that the lady was indeed not in the room, and naturally showed her alienated and indifferent attitude again, and walked towards the door.
"The madam is going to settle down for Miss Tao San, should she be in the guest room?"
Gu Ningxi didn't turn her head back, she put her hand on the heavy door, and was about to push it open and go out to find her wife.
At this moment, the door was pushed open from the outside to the inside. Gu Ningxi took a step back, and before she retracted her hand, she stood still and saw the person wearing a red dress. His brows were naturally soft, and his eyes were free to observe the details of the woman's body.
Tao Xinhe was so sleepy that she didn't have the energy to put on airs, and the private tone of the boudoir in the past naturally came out: "What is your husband doing standing by the door?" She covered her mouth to cover up a yawn, and walked inside on her own.
Gu Ningxi closed her eyes, and her Adam's apple rolled slightly. That's right, it was the intimacy naturally revealed in the words that made him strive for it.
Originally, when He Niang faced each other like this, he didn't think there was anything special about it. It was only one day from last night to tonight, the lady was cold, angry, and alienated, he took it one by one, and finally kept the clouds open to see the moonlight, and won the lady's heart.
Then, the second aunt asked her to pay attention to the matter of behavior. In fact, she had already explained to the wife about the brothers and sisters of the Mo family at noon. Gu Ningxi quickly swallowed the confession she had prepared for a while, and then asked casually, "Is Qiangniang ready on the hour?"
Tao Xinhe had already walked to the threshold of the clean room, turned her back to Gu Ningxi and nodded lightly "Yes".
Then she paused with some hesitation, turned her head to one side and said in a low voice, "After a long day of exhaustion, my husband should hurry up and settle down." Then she went in to wash up.
Compared to last night when she went to bed first and pretended to be asleep, her attitude has softened by more than a little bit, but compared to the past when she took care of Gu Ningxi personally and attentively, now she just opens her mouth and doesn't make any effort, which is quite different.
Gu Ningxi is already satisfied and just wants to kiss Fangze.
