MTL - She Doesn’t Want the Face-Blind Husband-v2 Chapter 108

After Tao Xinhe figured out Gu Runing's intentions, she thanked her earnestly.

Seeing the woman smiling sweetly and turning pale in the light, Gu Runing, who had been laying the groundwork for a long time, inexplicably felt that Tao Xinhe had become better-looking, his heart shivered, and he quickly seized the opportunity to relay the words of cousin Xi.

Apart from the reason of being seriously ill and weak, Gu Ningxi has official affairs, and at this time, anyone he contacts will easily attract the attention of the yamen and add controversy.

Besides, all he wanted was to protect He Niang's reputation, since the other party didn't come, he wouldn't take the initiative to look for Tao Xinhe until the lawsuit between him and Gu Ningran was settled. So I can only ask someone to bring the letter.

"My cousin Xi said that he accused Gu Ningran of hurting people in the suburbs of Beijing. If an official asked him why he chased her out of Beijing, he would answer to avenge Mo Qiqi and try not to involve you, a layman. Master has reached an agreement on this. Today he and Qiniang also said the same."

However, Tao Xinhe got into the horns: Gu Ningxi's rhetoric is actually his sincerity, right? When she saw Gu Ningxi who was seriously injured and on the verge of death that day, she had suspected this person's motives, guessed that it was not for herself but for Mo Qiqi.

Hearing today that her "Brother Xi" personally admitted that the injury was because of her, is Mo Qiqi complacent? Tao Xinhe felt sour and bitter between her lips and teeth, and she couldn't even answer her words.

Gu Runing was still explaining: "However, at that time, it was your Tao Mansion who came forward to fish them out of the water, and you couldn't escape, so I came to pass on a message, please know what you know, and you can deal with it when you go to court tomorrow."

Tao Xinhe lost her mind and nodded instinctively, unable to react for a while at all what her family was going to do.

After completing the task, Gu Runing said goodbye to her with a sigh of relief, and went to play with Qiangniang: "Layman, I'm in Qiangniang's courtyard. After dinner is ready, send someone to call us."

"Yeah, let's have fun." Tao Xinhe watched the little girl walk away briskly, and then he concentrated on assigning tasks and getting ready to welcome guests for dinner.

Tao Cheng used to eat alone, mostly in his study.

Tonight's Tao Mansion is full of family members again, four people are always more lively than three people, especially the two young girls who are attracted to each other, chatting and eating, making the food a bit sweeter, which arouses Hong's emotion : "The little girl is so nice. Once married as a woman, it will be different."

Gu Runing answered with a smile: "Sister-in-law Muxian, what a wonderful family you married, not to mention Young Master Tao, but only Eldest Sister-in-Law, we Jushi Tao will definitely treat you like a sister. My mother will go back to Beijing with you , Said that Jushi Tao specially vacated a carriage for you to pull the stove, for you to eat and drink on the road. Is that true?"

Hong glanced at Tao Xinhe, bit her lip and nodded, forced a few laughs.

The elder aunt is naturally in every way, caring about her food, clothing, housing and transportation. A few days ago when her husband came back, he was also very satisfied, and he kept thanking his sister for taking care of his daughter-in-law.

However, the matter of asking Gu Sicheng for a painting finally annoyed Tao Xinhe, and he treated her a lot strangely. Hong knew this sensitively, and was severely reprimanded by her husband because of this. Isn't she wronged?

Eldest aunt herself and Gu Ningxi were sticky and entangled, that’s not enough, and also provoked Cheng Shicheng to run to the house twice for three days, looking for people and giving things, and when they arrived in the suburbs of Beijing, the two Zhuangzi were still close to each other, who knew What is the reason?

Regarding the painting, she was also begged by others. She had asked Tao Xinhe for her opinion beforehand, but she obviously didn't deny it, but afterwards she treated her coldly because of it.

Therefore, at the dinner table, she became more and more reticent, and from time to time she said that she was shy and did not show her face.

Thinking of having a female guest tonight, Mrs. Hong accompanied her for dinner, feeling a slip of the tongue for a moment, and being reminded on her face how nice Tao Xinhe was, made her even more depressed.

Since Tao Xinhe and Li returned home, for the first time, Hong thought, it would be great if the eldest sister moved out in a few months as she said before.

If she doesn't speak out about these small thoughts of the Hong family, no one will pay attention to them. She definitely wouldn't say it, so she was just thinking about it.

With enough food and tea, night is coming, the moon is hidden in the clouds, and without a lantern, you can't see your fingers. Gu Ninglie probably came to pick up his younger sister Gu Runing back home under the order of Second Uncle Gu.

Tao Xinhe canceled the arrangement of sending her servants to see him off, but quietly pulled Gu Runing aside, and confessed:

"My brother and sister Hong's pregnancy is similar to that of your sister-in-law. Some of them use good fabrics, which are different from ordinary satin. They are soft and close-fitting because they are not embroidered. I brought you two. Your maid has received them in the carriage. You After returning home, she said that Aunt Gu asked you to bring it back to your sister-in-law, remember?"

Gu Runing repeatedly praised Tao Xinhe's meticulousness. Sister-in-law did have some complaints about mother-in-law's absence from home these days, but because mother-in-law was going to serve her mother-in-law, she couldn't criticize her in the open.

Could it be that what she said just now made Tao Xinhe aware of this?

"Then I'll borrow flowers to present Buddha, I'm sure my sister-in-law will be happy. Lay Tao, it would be great if you were still my cousin." After thinking for a while, Gu Runing understood the intention of Tao Xinhe's gifts and instructions, from the bottom of her heart feeling.

Tao Xinhe was reminded by her, remembering that when Gu Ninglie's daughter-in-law was pregnant with her first child, she was so busy making gifts for the eldest house of the new Gu's mansion. Compared with the two bolts of cloth now, she couldn't help but smile: "Ning Niang doesn't want it!" nonsense."

After seeing Gu Runing away, Tao Xinhe was in a difficult mood, after thinking about it, he still took advantage of the night to go to the study to find his father Tao Cheng.

**

On the seventh day of March, Gu Ningxi's health improved slightly, and she was summoned to the court, where she confronted Gu Ningran, asked and answered officials' questions, confirmed physical witnesses, and even confronted each other.

Among the men's figures in the room, he fixed on Gu Ningran with a single glance, because of the severe pain in his heart, it seemed to reappear when he was stabbed.

Hearing that the official ordered Gu Ningran to kneel down to answer in a cold voice, and when the unkempt man he was staring at groaned coldly and fell to his knees reluctantly, Gu Ningxi felt complicated in his heart, and lowered his eyes. The sluggish and sluggish upper body glanced back and forth.

Sanfang has been favored by his grandmother from father to son. Gu Ningxi was not angry when she was a child, especially when Gu Ningran bullied/isolated him but no one helped him to speak up. His own biological father was unwilling to offend Mrs. Gu, let alone understand Gu Ningxi The strange disease, the mother regards her husband as heaven, and she will not come out.

At that time, Gu Ningxi was full of resentment towards Gu Ningran, the eldest cousin. Later, when he moved to another residence, he felt a headache and smooth breathing.

After all, I grew up with Gu Ningran. Although he is face blind and cannot distinguish faces, he is not a fool. As long as he puts some effort into remembering other people's figures, physiques, and voices, he will be able to recognize them all. Otherwise, How did Ping An grow up so big and hang out in the officialdom for many years.

However, Gu Ningran was like a symbol that he hated deeply, all the characteristics of this person could not take root in Gu Ningxi's mind, even if He Niang mentioned it to him from time to time at that time, he still ignored it.

When he arrived at the old Gu's mansion, the official house, etc., he would always pass by Gu Ningran and miss him but turned a blind eye, which made the eldest cousin bark at his back in frustration.

Therefore, when Mo Qiqi first described the face of the thief, Gu Ningxi did not think of Gu Ningran.

Gu Ningxi thought that their cousins ​​would spend their lives in such a cold and awkward way, disgusting each other, but she didn't expect that seeing each other at this time would be a court case, and she even recognized Gu Ningran with the help of a god.

If He Niang knew that in addition to being able to identify Mo Qiqi and He Niang, there was another place where she was very sure of who it was, but it fell on Gu Ningran's head, I don't know what she would think.

Gu Ningxi's thoughts were pulled back to God by the official's voice, "Tao Yuanwailang is here? I'm tired of you, please sit down next to Gu Sicheng, and I'll ask you some business. Answer whatever you have."

Yes, after yesterday's questioning at the Xingu Mansion, the officials found that Gu Ningran had committed the crime of **** and humiliation of the daughters of the people, and acquiescing to his wife's murder of his grandmother. Recently, regardless of his status as an editor, he was made to kneel to hear the trial.

As for Gu Ningxi, who is the plaintiff and a fifth-rank civil servant, she can answer standing up. The officials in the hall saw that he was wearing nothing but clothes, coughing and vomiting blood, so they deliberately sold him and asked him to sit in the courtroom.

At this time, next to Gu Ningxi, Zao Li moved the same official-style armchair, and respectfully invited Mr. Wailang Tao, a member of the Ministry of Industry, to sit in.

This is a higher-ranking person than the fourth-rank official who was questioning in the hall, so he must not be offended.

After Gu Ningxi waited for the man beside him to sit down, she turned her head and greeted in a low voice: "My lord father-in-law."

"Don't bark, Gu, Si, Cheng." Tao Cheng responded word by word.

Soon, the officials started the trial, and the two had no more gossip.

In the end, it was the entanglement between the officials that involved the clan and human life. Uncle Gu, Uncle Gu, and Patriarch Gu appeared one after another to answer questions, and interrogated them intermittently for more than two hours across the noon.

During the period, Gu Ningxi coughed up blood three times and said countless words. She persisted in the lengthy process. After signing the relevant records in court according to the instructions of the official Li Li, she turned around and wanted to talk to Tao Cheng but couldn't find it. The elder had already left the court with oil on his feet.

**

Tao Xinhe explained clearly to her father last night, explaining the details of saving lives in the suburbs of Beijing one by one, trying to hide herself as much as possible, after all, the involvement of female relatives in the lawsuit will affect their reputation.

Thinking of this, she also admired Mo Qiqi's courage, and was willing to cooperate with Gu Ningxi to come forward and report Gu Ningran.

Even though Mo Qiqi is already an orphan girl and has no relatives to accuse her of insulting her family, after this case, going to court is equivalent to announcing the capital. There are a lot of people, and everyone especially likes to spread **** stories. No matter how pure a victim Mo Qiqi is, her name will always be smeared with some unspeakable color.

They are both women, and Gu Ningran flirted with her eyes at first, and later even carried out clumsy bullying/humiliating behaviors. The more Tao Xinhe thought about it, the more she felt the same for Mo Qiqi. She sighed and sympathized with this silly and innocent girl. She was dissatisfied and unwilling to be Gu Ningxi's concubine, and was gradually replaced.

"To be honest, Gu Ningxi's fault for taking a concubine is greater than Mo Qiqi's. I shouldn't blame her." Tao Xinhe said to herself, feeling ashamed of her words and deeds that despised this girl before, and prepared to wait for her to come out and take care of her again. The government held a banquet to entertain them, as a disguised company.

The boulder in my heart seemed to be loosened a little, and a few rays of light penetrated through. Tao Xinhe let out a foul breath, and asked herself in a daze, is this what letting others go is like letting yourself go?

As if realizing the principles of Zen, Tao Xinhe sorted out her paranoia about people and things in the past little by little, and smoothed them out bit by bit, unconsciously spending most of the day.

It wasn't until Tao Cheng called her to the study and said that he wanted to tell his daughter what happened in the courtroom that Tao Xinhe pulled out of his mustache.
