MTL - She Doesn’t Want the Face-Blind Husband-v2 Chapter 75
After Tao Xinhe said goodbye to Cheng Shicheng, she was always worried about something unfinished, very irritable.
She walked quickly, wanting to ask Qingfang if she had the feeling of being spied on just now, and for a moment, she actually had the illusion that Gu Ningxi was nearby, how absurd!
After all, he didn't ask, and his palms were slightly sweaty, as if reminding Tao Xinhe, he was still holding the note Qingfang sent over.
The short words bothered her for a while, Tao Xinhe quickly pretended to let go casually, and threw the note by the roadside, really wanting to throw away the restless and chaotic thoughts so neatly and simply.
Qingfang followed closely behind her, knowing that the layman had her own considerations, and she hesitated to speak when she saw this situation. Even Tao Xinhe didn't follow what she said before? Go to the river to find Qiangniang, but went straight back to Zhuangzi, and didn't make a sound to remind her.
Tao Xinqiang happened to be in Zhuangzi, for some reason, Tao Xinhe felt lost when she saw her sister, and she had no reason to go to the river to find out.
The origin of the note is unknown, but pointing to "Gu Ningxi", most likely it was directed at Tao Xinhe.
She didn't realize that since she saw the name, she had been biting the inside of her lips tightly until her younger sister came up to her and acted like a baby, Tao Xinhe? She didn't realize this when she opened her mouth to answer. The meat is already damaged and bleeding.
Tao Xinhe hastily dealt with Tao Xinqiang, told her not to play by the river for the time being, and then ordered Qingfang to arrange a few Kongwu's powerful servants to patrol twice along the river to see if there was any suspicious person.
As for her, she shut her mouth quickly, walked back to her room, and rinsed her mouth with lukewarm water. Sure enough, the first two sips were slightly red, and the rest were better.
Tao Xinhe knew that there was a tear in her lip, so she put aside the rose tea, only held the warm water teacup, brought it to her mouth and put it down again, if so, she did not take a sip after all.
She unconsciously rubbed the smooth and warm outer wall of the cup, her mind was like a broken revolving lantern, all kinds of past and dream fragments, frame by frame were extremely incoherent, most of them flashed Gu Ningxi, and she couldn't concentrate on capturing them carefully. Not annoying.
Tao Xinhe hinted to herself that when the water in the cup was no longer hot, she would return to the neat and easy Tao Jushi after sipping half a cup, and forget about Gu Ningxi. It's good to be alone at this time, to sort out your thoughts.
She completely forgot that the water in the cup was shaken by her unconsciously and made circles and ripples. There was almost no heat coming out. It was suitable for drinking at this time, but it would become cold after a while. The maids around might come forward to politely dissuade her and change it for the master. .
Gu Ningxi? Dead?
Tao Xinhe knew that 90% of the content of the note was a lie to her, so she couldn't believe it, but she couldn't help but think about it according to this possibility.
Shortly after we got married three and a half years ago, my mother-in-law passed away, and it's not like the couple haven't talked about life and death. Gu Ningxi said that both his parents would not live forever, and he was worried that he was born with a strange face blindness, whether he would not live to half a century. Tao Xinhe recalled, what did she say to him at that time?
By the way, she was dressed in a white sackcloth, and she was dressed heavily in filial piety. In the hot weather of August, she was rubbed and covered by the unsewed and airtight clothes, and developed many rashes, which made her extremely uncomfortable.
However, after getting along with Gu Ningxi for less than half a month, she was not familiar with her. Tao Xinhe was reserved and reticent, and tried not to scratch in front of him.
Hearing this, she rolled up her sleeves, showed the shocking traces of red dots on one arm to the newlywed husband, and advised: "Who is not sick? You lost your parents, and my mother died young. Who doesn't?" What about the pain of wanting to raise a relative who is not around?"
Seeing this, Gu Ningxi was taken aback, at a loss for what to do, and after a long while, she leaned over gently, pursed her lips and blew past the rash of the newlywed wife one by one, love, pity and guilt intermingled, and there were no words.
Tao Xinhe dodged uncomfortably, but Gu Ningxi held her wrists Xuxu, took the cool ointment from the servant's hand, and dabbed on Tao Xinhe carefully.
Tao Xinhe blushed with embarrassment, and her heart became more tender. Seeing that all the servants in the room retreated, she let her husband do what she wanted, and continued her comforting words: "If the elders have spirits in the sky, they just hope that their children will live a long and healthy life. , mother-in-law is not yet seventy-seven, the living soul may linger around you, wouldn't it be sad to hear you complaining about yourself so much?"
Gu Ningxi did not pretend to be someone else's hand, and devoutly and properly applied ointment for Tao Xinhe's rash all over her body. She insisted that filial piety should not lie in clothing, so she ordered her servants to put on an emergency tailor-made soft pure white gauze dress for Tao Xinhe, while he continued to wear it himself. The unsightly rough white linen clothes murmured from time to time: "Live a long and healthy life. Both my wife and I live a long and healthy life."
and after?
Tao Xinhe recalled carefully, as she showed more and more talent as a housekeeper, Gu Ningxi, who was originally responsible for the new Gu family after her mother-in-law was seriously ill, and Gu Ningxi, who gritted her teeth to overcome the difficulty of face blindness and did chores so that her mother-in-law would not worry, gradually became more at ease. Handing over the burden to myself, trusting and even relying on myself, the mantra for everything has become: "Ask Madam." "Listen to Madam."
When the couple were joking, Tao Xinhe said: "If I die young, where will my husband Suxian find a good wife who works hard like me and takes care of everything?"
Gu Ningxi's reaction?
It seemed as if he was hugging Tao Xinhe tightly, calling out "Tongyan Wuji", and whispering in her ear: "I am two years older than my wife, so it is reasonable for me to leave this world first. We only have each other, we will always be united, and there will be no more Others, what are you talking about? If I leave first, my wife will not be allowed to remarry. You and I will meet on the bridge, three lives married, and join hands to re-enter the world, okay?" The man breathed out hot air and her ears and cheeks were red, and his words were hot. Soften her heart.
Who would have thought that the two would reconcile and separate when the words were still in their ears?
In Tao Xinhe's imagination, Gu Ningxi should be a pair with Mo Qiqi sooner or later, happy and happy with a clear face every day, in good health, and become a story of an old friend she occasionally heard from people around her many years later.
How could he be dying? When we met on the 30th day of the first lunar month, Tao Xinhe was angry and angry with this person, but Gu Ningxi's face still left an impression in my heart, some were haggard, some were tired, but there was no sign of illness, and judging by her complexion, it didn't look like she was suffering from internal illness .
One or two days before leaving Beijing, this person visited Gu's mansion, and even stood under his window. Although Tao Xinhe didn't see anyone, and he didn't allow his sister and maids to mention him with him, but judging from their expressions, Gu Ningxi should be in good health. That's right.
So, this note is talking about non-existent things, right? Just to disturb her mind?
I don't know who is making such a mess. I heard Qingfang relayed that it was delivered by a person with a capital accent. Who could it be? Damn it! Tao Xinhe thought, maybe the servants would catch something by the river, she would definitely question it.
It is also possible that no trace can be found, so I will pretend that there is no such thing, so that no one will find out that she was really disturbed by this note. When it was spread out, Tao's parents and daughters were at a loss for their ex-husband, as if their roots were broken, isn't it nice?
After thinking about it, Tao Xinhe consciously sorted out his thoughts, let out a long breath, and stared down at the teacup in his hand for a long time, wanting to drink it all in one gulp, then walked out of the room energetically and sat in the manor.
But there was an extremely sad "Han Niang~" faintly in my ears, as if Gu Ningxi's voice was hoarse, like a lone goose calling for companions, like a single phoenix seeking a phoenix. Tao Xinhe gritted her teeth fiercely, very angry, and said to herself: "Enough thinking, don't think about it anymore!"
However, she put down the teacup, stood up with clenched fists and gritted her teeth, and pushed open the door. When she was looking for something to divert her thoughts, she really heard a sharp cry from a distance: "Help, layman!" "Help, madam!"
The voice was getting closer, and Tao Xinhe could distinguish it, it was like the shout of the twin brothers who often followed Gu Ningxi who knew books and knew paintings. She wouldn't hallucinate the voices of these two servants, would she?
In an instant, Tao Xinhe knew that something had happened. She couldn't tell what was going on in her heart. She maintained her composure on her face and walked steadily towards the sound. She saw a group of people on the road from Zhuangzi's gate to the main house.
The family members of the Tao family mixed with the family members of the Gu family. There were about a dozen people in front and back, several of them were dripping with water and their hair was in a mess. Hurry up" and so on, carrying two men to walk inward.
Their postures were a little awkward, they walked side by side, as if they couldn't move their footsteps, Tao Xinhe unconsciously raised his hand to hold his beating heart, and looked at the past intently.
One of the people who was being carried horizontally and with their eyes closed tightly, whose face and posture had long been engraved in the lovable heart, was none other than Gu Ningxi!
Tao Xinhe didn't know how to react for a moment, her eyes quickly swept across his whole body, the hairpin disappeared, causing the long black hair to stick to his head and face in disorder, his complexion was pale and almost gray, his chest barely heaved, he was lifeless, and he looked ominous.
His head, neck, waist, buttocks, and legs were supported by several servants, and his robe was soaked. Someone helped him pick up the back half of the hem and put it on his belly. The underwear was visible, which did not conform to his usual style of neat clothes. Habit.
What made Tao Xinhe even more frightened was seeing a dagger stuck in Gu Ningxi's chest?
Gu Ningxi's whole body, including the dagger, swayed slightly as the strong men moved forward. It was shocking. Isn't this? Human life?
His hands hang down naturally, the long arm on Tao Xinhe's side almost touches the ground, the palm of his hand is unable to open, and he swings back and forth in the void as others walk, dripping water from his fingertips all the way.
Tao Xinhe tiptoed a little to look at his other hand, and found that it was tightly clenched into a fist, tightly grasping a corner of someone else's robe, with distinct finger bones, and prominent blue veins on the back of his soaked white hand, which showed that Gu Ningxi The obsession that never let go.
Also because Gu Ningxi was holding on to the corner of the clothes, the two men who were fished out of the river couldn't be separated, and everyone could only carry him and the other side by side, squeezing each other, which made Tao Xinhe feel awkward at a glance.
Tao Xinhe felt as if she was floating in the void, deaf to the noisy voices around her, her eyes were full of Gu Ningxi's wounded and dying appearance, her heart was sinking endlessly, sinking and sinking again, and her usual conductor Ruo Ding flew out of the blue sky , she even forgot where she was and who she was.
Until Qingfang leaned over to take a look, and exclaimed, "It's Gu Sicheng and...Gu Editor, why are they cousins?"
Tao Xinhe's sanity was finally awakened. She glanced at it, and the other person was indeed Gu Ningran, who also seemed unconscious.
It's too late to study the reasons, human life is at stake, let alone someone you know, and the urgent need to save people right now, Tao Xinhe took a deep breath, pinched her fingertips into the palm of her hand hard, the tingling sensation would help her brain to resume functioning, and said in a hoarse voice After the first word, he coughed a few times, finally calmed down, and arranged various rescue affairs in an orderly manner.
