"Then, what should I do? Dow once told me that if she can't write two Gu characters in one stroke, she is not afraid of tiring Gu Ningxi?" After hearing this, Third Aunt Gu felt like something her own son would do. It was too late to worry about the so-called "killing", and Tao Xinhe threatened to sue him first, so he messed up his position.

Cao Shi bit her lower lip tightly, wanting to twist Gu Ningran to vent her anger. Are you not good enough for him? Why is it not enough to have one? Why did his concubine carry one house after another, and there are countless flowers and grasses outside, and he still went to provoke Tao Shi today?

If this person is not her husband, Mrs. Cao can't wait to clap her hands and laugh, mentioning the iron plate, right? Have you finally learned your lesson?

However, the fact is that her husband made a fool of herself, and Mrs. Cao has to find a way to make up for it.

In fact, Mrs. Cao despises her mother-in-law's inability to flatter her grandmother for many years without getting much benefit, especially when the long-term couple had a reconciliation and let them know about Gu Ningxi's wealth. He also mentioned "a stroke of Gu" and felt that she was unreliable and had to be guided by herself.

Cao Shiping stepped back, sat in front of Gu Ningran's bed with Aunt Gu, and said after deliberation: "Mother-in-law, read Dow's letter, the husband didn't see her at all, so what stalking, harassing, only the servant's confession and Even a broken note can be denied by any means. How can the Tao family sue? We can still say that the husband just went to enjoy the scenery, but was pushed into the water by the Tao family. Who can tell clearly if this is entangled ?”

Third Aunt Gu was right after thinking about it, she nodded again and again: "Yes, my son is going to enjoy the scenery. I have been tired of working for the court for nearly ten days. It's not too much to go around the suburbs of Beijing on a holiday."

Cao continued: "Well, it's difficult for Gu Ningxi. If he really died, it would be easy to deal with it. Who saw that it was the husband who did it? It was nothing more than two servants. It is said that this confession was put in the yamen. It is said that they don't recognize it. Besides, if Gu Ningxi is really dead, who will stand up for him and sue him first? She Tao Xinhe can't go to court as an abandoned wife, can she? The difficulty is that Gu Ningxi survived, and after waking up, she accused her husband of wanting to kill him. "

Third Aunt Gu immediately became anxious. It turned out that the matter was far more complicated and serious than she thought, provoking female relatives and being flirtatious. If the son is charged with "attempt to kill his brother", he is likely to go to jail, right? The official status must be lost, what else can she rely on in this life?

"Then...then...I'll go to Brother Xi and give him a lot of presents. It's okay to kowtow to him as an apology. I just ask him not to pursue Brother Ran?" Third Aunt Gu stood up as she spoke.

Mrs. Cao shook her head, and put forward another idea: "We must go to see whether Gu Ningxi is dead or alive. However, it is not to ask him, what is the solution to tie our future and destiny to other people's charity? In my opinion, our family guardian Grandmother, father-in-law and you are still alive, and the husband has someone to support him in the clan, so everything will be easy, why not better than the lonely Gu Ningxi?"

"My husband has not woken up from his injuries. Maybe Gu Ningxi was cut with a knife, which is far less serious than my husband. The key to this matter is the reason why Gu Ningxi troubled my husband. It depends on who is right. She Tao Xinhe said, Maybe you have already colluded with Gu Ningxi, is it the golden rule? According to us, there is no secret, right? "

"What's the secret?" Third Aunt Gu half-understood. Sitting at home with her daughter-in-law, how did she know about the twists and turns that Gu Ningran and Gu Ningxi made outside? Looking at the beautiful Mrs. Cao, she inexplicably felt that her daughter-in-law had become eerie.

Cao said: "If the husband is innocent, but Gu Ningxi wants to harm him, and after being discovered by the husband, he fights back, and the two fall into the water together. Dow will either stand by and help Gu Ningxi do evil, and the current situation will be different. What? We should be the ones who should discuss right and wrong."

Third Aunt Gu heard the confident voice of her daughter-in-law ringing in her ears like brainwashing: "The key is to be quick. Before everyone understands it thoroughly, it's always a good way to make everyone dizzy. It's not bad for us to insist on our own opinions. If you do it well, you can always bite off a piece of Gu Ningxi's flesh. If it is even better, maybe you can drive him out of the clan? Then the husband should be happy."

**

Tao Xiangxiang, as if digesting food after a meal, strolled to Ji Changbo's Zhuangzi, and met Cheng Shicheng head-on.

Hearing the name "Uncle Tao", he reacted belatedly, stretched out his hand to touch the arm of the muscular general who was much taller than himself, and sighed: "If you want to be my son-in-law, it won't work if you try **** me."

Being led to Gu Ningxi's room, he could read books and paintings and call out "Master Tao" with sobs. Tao Cheng looked at the two familiar young men, sighed again, asked a few words about the situation, and then went to Gu Ningxi's bed, squinted his eyes to examine his complexion with the faint candle that was not bright, which was said to be good for patients to recuperate .

The loose hair was pulled out of the pillow, under the jet black hair were red cheeks, and his lips were pale. With the combination of these colors, he suddenly felt sick and weak.

Tao Cheng saw that there were creases between his brows, his eyes were closed, and his nose was fluttering. He was not as restless as ordinary patients with high fever, and even rolled back and forth in his dreams. Instead, he remained motionless, looking ominous.

He was lying on his back, with his upper body exposed outside the quilt, and he was wearing a loose light brown bunt, which just covered his shoulders and arms. At first glance, from the chest to the abdomen, there are layers of white bandages, which are thick and tight, making people sigh.

His hands were hanging by his sides, the color of the back of his hands was almost the same color as the bandages, and there were some swelling and foaming, which could make others feel that this was a living person, that is to say, his fingertips flicked a few times occasionally, like a spasm In general, it looks very pitiful.

Tao Cheng said "Aiya" twice, not even daring to touch him, always worried that Gu Ningxi would die in the next moment, so he hurried out of the room.

Shishu followed behind him, sobbing and asking Jushi Tao why he didn't come.

Facing the night sky, Tao Changchang let out a long breath of foul air, thinking in his heart, seeing the bleak face of the man in the room, and thinking that he was a former son-in-law and a colleague in the officialdom, he felt heartbroken, let alone He Niang?

Tao Cheng was friendly to the book, but his words were cold: "Little guy, take good care of your master. If you need anything, just ask Ji Changbo, he will ask for anything. As for our Tao family, it's just a hand in the river. It's just fishing for people, and the rest of the business has nothing to do with it, so what is my daughter doing here?"

"But, our master came here for his wife!" Shishu shouted anxiously, but Tao Cheng came over and covered his mouth regardless of his dignity.

Tao Cheng shook his head: "These involvements will not be discussed until your master wakes up. My daughter doesn't admit it, did she send a greeting card to Gu Ningxi? Ask him to come here? We sent some things here, as a way of expressing our heart after knowing it , little guy, go and put it away."

What Tao Cheng thought was that his daughter Tao Xinhe must have her own opinions, and it is human nature for her to be confused for a while now, and he can't add fuel to her thoughts, so he can't answer for her, so as not to fall into the blame of others.

Li Shu thought that the wife hid behind her father and did not come to visit, but only sent things, as if the delivery was completed, and she threw their master and son to Uncle Jichang. Does the lady really not care about the master? Will they never turn back into their wives again?

The young man wiped away his tears, bowed his head and answered Tao Cheng's words in a low voice, and retreated back to the house without saying anything else.

Tao Cheng didn't care about other people's minds, he thought that the visit was a complete success, so he went back to his own village and waited in the room. He didn't wait for He Niang to come and ask him about Gu Ningxi's situation, but he was a little disappointed for Gu Ningxi.

As for Gu Ningxi who seldom occupied his mind, she was still lying under the eaves of her love rival, as quiet as a corpse on the bed, her body was covered in burning coals, but she didn't sweat a single drop. According to the doctor, she was depressed, which was not a good thing.

The boys helped him wipe his forehead, hands and feet with warm handkerchiefs. No one knew that Gu Ningxi, who was in a coma, felt chills and pain from the bottom of his bones, and the hole in his heart seemed to be pierced by a steady stream of sharp ice thorns. , with a little bit of blood, it was like warming the ice water and melting into the blood.

As a result, the cold moisture flowed through the whole body with the blood, freezing him from head to toe, from the inside to the outside, into an ice lump, or what he thought was an ice lump.

As time went by, he could faintly hear some movement around him from time to time, but what he heard the most was his own voice of reading books, reading paintings accompanied by talking, which made him feel that he knew something about the situation after falling into the water.

In addition to clichés such as "Master, don't die", new words emerged from Lishu: "Master, Madam may really have a new love, and I won't even come to see you, and I will send you back to Beijing in a while. After a while, I listened to other people's opinions and let someone who is not a doctor draw the knife for you. From a small point of view, she just doesn't care about your life... woo woo woo"

Gu Ningxi struggled to capture the information in it, and slowly condensed into a subconscious thought, He Niang completely didn't want him.

No matter whether he found any enemies or not, no matter how hard he tried to eliminate the hidden danger to her, no matter how hard he tried to settle Qiniang, and tried every means to resolve the obstacles between the couple, it was of no avail.

Feeling even more icy cold and hopeless in this life, a tear welled up from the corner of Gu Ningxi's eyes.

Afterwards, as if some kind of restriction had been opened, Gu Ningxi began to sweat all over her body, from the corner of her forehead to the side of her nose, from her neck to her shoulders, and even the palms and soles of her hands, where there were sweat pores, it was as if they were showing their effect. Water drops come.

They were delighted at the beginning of learning books and painting, talking about making them sweat, maybe the high fever should subside, the medicine just poured is really effective, etc., and soon they found that there was no way to help the master wipe it clean no matter what. , Sweat droplets are wiped and regenerated like spring leeks, and they are born very quickly, covering them layer by layer.

After a while, Gu Ningxi's whole body was as if she was fished out of the water in the afternoon, with sticky hair on her forehead, and she was in a state of embarrassment. She also exuded a smell of sickness and sweat that was different from the smell of river water before, which made the boys look anxious.

Fortunately, his lips finally moved, as if he was talking, and his voice became louder. The servants came closer and asked, "Is it hurting?" The "lady" called out in turn, occasionally "Gu Ningran", but the tone was completely different from the lingering voice of calling madam.

After discussing with each other, the two servants decided to wake up the doctor in another room not far away regardless of the time of night, and followed them to see the latest situation.

The doctor shook his head and said, "Did the lord hear something or think of something in a drowsy state, and made things difficult for himself, and got stuck in his heart, which made his illness worse. This is not conducive to the recovery of the wound, nor is it conducive to the recovery of the mind. Well, the old man adjusts the prescription. His illness has turned from the outside to the inside, so you should talk more pleasant things in his ears, and it would be even better if you can invite relatives and friends to accompany you."

The two servants were startled, they didn't expect that the master could hear outside voices while he was ill, and this added to the symptoms. Apart from rubbing his body and making medicine, he tried his best to cheer up Gu Ningxi without mentioning it.

So busy, they didn't pay attention to Dongfang Jiming. When reading books and leaving the room to fetch water, he heard a familiar voice in a daze, and when Mo Qiqi and the others arrived from the capital, at that moment, he had the feeling of meeting his relatives, and the life and death of the master was no longer just a matter of concern. Their twins carried it with relief.

Tao Xinhe, who didn't fall asleep all night, tossed and turned until the faint light appeared on the horizon, seemed to be asleep and took a nap, was awakened again from a dream, and held her heart to call Qingfang to wait for her to get up.

At this moment, she heard Qingfang whisper with lowered eyebrows: "Just now, Uncle Jichang ordered someone to send a message that Miss Mo, who was guarding the Xingu Mansion in the capital, and a group of six people came over overnight to take care of Gu Sicheng." Yes. It is said that although Gu Sicheng has not yet woken up and has a high fever, the doctor said that it is all right. After a night, he has improved a bit, and he will wake up today and tomorrow. Uncle, please rest assured."
