Chapter 20 The Storm Strikes the Boudoir
The moonlight is just right this night, and the moonlight that is half hazy and half clear makes people's hearts become peaceful. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When Gu Wanyan was ready to go to bed, it was almost time, and after she washed, she lay on the edge of the window and looked at Haoyue for a long time, before closing the window and turning around to go to the bed to prepare for sleep.
Gu Mo's room could see the moon, but her room could never see it.
Just as she had just taken off her coat and lay down, there was a knock at the door.
She lay on the bed and turned her face to look at the door, and a strange feeling surged in her heart, it was so late, who could it be?
Gu Wanyan didn't go over to open the door immediately, but only asked tentatively in a soft voice: "Who." ”
No one responded.
It was quite cold, Gu Wanyan endured the low temperature and got out of the quilt again, put on her coat and moved over with small steps, and opened the door with both hands. When she saw the person standing outside the door clearly through the moonlight, Gu Wanyan's eyes unconsciously opened wide and round.
She was surprised that she didn't say anything for a long time, and only stammered, "You...... Aren't you leaving?"
Gu Mo frowned, lowered his voice with a serious face, and said, "I'm leaving." ”
Gu Wanyan was originally angry with Gu Mo, but at this moment, she saw him standing upright in the cold night, and she didn't know why her heart softened all of a sudden. So Gu Wanyan only pursed her lips and said, "It's cold outside, let's come in and talk about something." ”
Gu Mo pursed his lips and nodded, and the two of them entered the room together.
Gu Wanyan lit the candlestick, then sat down and looked at Gu Mo: "Is there something wrong?"
Gu Mo paused, spoke calmly, and said word by word: "I want to hear your explanation of what happened that day." ”
Gu Wanyan suddenly felt a burst of inexplicability. Running back to the house in the middle of the night to find her, just for this?
She was a little strange, Gu Mo under the cold exterior was always unpredictable, what was he thinking in his head all day long?
"Don't you believe it?" Gu Wanyan asked rhetorically, "You made up your mind so arbitrarily at that time, and you didn't even give me a chance to breathe, why are you asking me now?"
As soon as these words came out, there was obviously a bit of anger and grievance in the words.
Gu Mo was stunned for a moment, where had a girl ever spoken to him like this? He was a little overwhelmed, and said slowly: "I'm sorry, that day, I was too impulsive." ”
Gu Wanyan couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.
At this moment, she suddenly discovered that Gu Mo was not as indifferent and rational as he usually appeared. It seems that he is just cold on the outside and hot on the inside, he will also be impulsive, he will also have ups and downs, and he is even a little childish at this time.
Gu Mo saw the smile on Gu Wanyan's face, and the whole person suddenly became embarrassed, and his expression stiffened.
Gu Wanyan raised her eyes and looked at Gu Mo's face that had suddenly become gloomy, gradually put away her smile, her expression became serious, and patiently explained to Gu Mo in detail what was going on with her name written on those few house deeds.
After listening to this, Gu Mo thought about it logically, and once again chose to believe her.
Sure enough, he thought to himself. At the same time, he also regretted that he was so angry at the time, and he had to listen to her explanation no matter what he said. Thinking about it, his face gradually softened a little.
Gu Wanyan blinked at the end, and added firmly: "If you don't believe it, you can ask your father, I have a clear conscience." ”
As soon as the words fell, Gu Mo's gaze shot straight at her.
At this time, she seemed to see that the corners of Gu Mo's mouth seemed to float a little smile, but in the blink of an eye, the kung fu was gone. Gu Wanyan felt that she must be dazzled.
Gu Mo didn't speak, but there was a feeling of relief in his heart.
"You rushed back to the mansion at this time, just to find out about this matter?" Gu Wanyan thought for a while and said.
Gu Mo was speechless for a moment. Did he want to tell her that he was riding a horse on the road just one afternoon, and all he was thinking about in his head was her business? No, of course Gu Mo wouldn't say it.
He raised his eyes to look at Gu Wanyan and said lightly: "I've always wanted to make myself believe in you, I've never wanted to trust someone so much - when I think that my trust might all be in vain, I can't wait for a moment to find out the truth." ”
Gu Wanyan was stunned when she heard this, and then asked, "Then how can you believe that what I am saying now is true?"
Gu Mo felt guilty in his heart: "I said, I was impulsive that day." I trust my instincts, and my instincts tell me at the beginning, you ...... Not wicked. ”
When she learned of Gu Mo's trust in herself, her heart warmed, she smiled slightly, and said half-jokingly: "The second son has always been an indifferent person in the eyes of others, how can he be impulsive?"
Gu Mo faced this question she threw at herself, bowed her head slightly and was silent.
In the past, he was calm and calm, not angry or happy, because there was nothing worthy of his attention and worthy of his emotions.
Now there is a little more impulsiveness and irrationality in his temperament - and it's not all because he cares.
He cares about what kind of person Gu Wanyan is, he cares about Gu Wanyan, so he will be so disappointed when he questions her, he cares about Gu Wanyan, so when there is a misunderstanding, the whole person becomes unable to calm down. Is this explanation okay?
"I ......" Gu Mo spit out a word for a while, but he didn't follow for a long time.
Suddenly, Gu Mo stood up suddenly, and then Fang Cai said, "I'm leaving, Daming and they are all waiting for me." ”
Gu Wanyan opened her mouth and said in surprise: "It's so late, you still have to go on the road?"
Gu Mo nodded lightly, and said with a straight face: "Well, you can rest." ”
With that, he looked at her deeply, then turned and pulled the door open and left.
Gu Wanyan looked at Gu Mo and left, stunned.
After that, I felt a lot in my heart.
On the night of marriage, Gu Mo left her alone in the empty room.
However, in the subsequent relationship, the two became familiar little by little, and the two also changed from silent to polyverbal. The most important thing is that she already knows the unknown side of Gu Mo - in fact, he is quite good.
Thinking about her, she smiled to herself and climbed back into bed.
============================
After Liu Fengxian married into the Gu Mansion, her wife was happy on the surface, but she was secretly worried in her heart.
Liu Fengxian is too capable of being a person, her ability to win over people is definitely far stronger than Gu Wanyan, and it is precisely because of this that Mrs. will be wary of her......
In a teahouse in Dongcheng, the lady and another person sat opposite each other.
When Mrs. was young, her appearance was definitely a sinking fish and a goose, and her figure was just right for a little more, and a little less for a little. Now she is forty-three years old, and the foundation of her beauty when she was young is still there, even a little more graceful and luxurious than then, and her figure has not been out of shape because she has entered middle age. However, due to hard work and years, there are still a few deep lines on her face that cannot be concealed.
This is a secluded private room, and the soundproofing is particularly good.
Madame held the teacup, and her frowning wrinkles were exposed.
Madame said to the person opposite with a little worry: "Originally, I investigated her Liu Fengxian from the land of wind and dust, and she was superficial and brainless, so I thought that she was no threat to my position as Wanyan. However, now it seems that we were careless. ”
Sitting opposite was a nurse in the Gu Mansion, named Chengyong. He is Madame's confidant, and has been serving Madame as a secret eyeliner for many years.
Cheng Yong has always been cunning and cunning, but he didn't figure out his wife's words, so he asked, "Madam, how can you say this?"
Madame locked her eyebrows, her eyes didn't know where to look, and said slowly: "I think Ran'er's feelings for her are true, in case Liu Fengxian has a child than Mr. Wanyan, then ......"
Cheng Yong thought for a while and said, "What Madam said is reasonable, we must not let Liu Fengxian give birth to the eldest son, otherwise the previous efforts will be in vain." ”
Madame nodded cautiously: "That's right, although the rule passed down from generation to generation in the Gu Mansion is to choose the most capable daughter-in-law to be in charge. But if Mr. Liu Fengxian gives birth to a son, then everything in the Gu Mansion will not be hers sooner or later. I tried my best to make Wanyan the daughter-in-law of the Gu Mansion, so that she could be in charge of the Gu Mansion and manage everything in the Gu Mansion. I raised this child with my own hands, so he listened to me for everything. She has mastered everything in the Gu family, and in the future, it will mean that I will also control everything in the Gu family. ”
Cheng Yong said: "That...... It would be best if the second wife could give birth to a little young master for the Gu family first. ”
There was a look of worry on the lady's face: "But Mo'er is away all the time, not to mention that they haven't had a round house at all now......"
Cheng Yong's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly offered a plan: "Madam, in fact, as long as the second wife can be pregnant, what does it matter whose seed it is?"
Madame was stunned and whispered, "What can you do?"
Cheng Yong smiled sinisterly, approached his wife, and whispered in a low voice.
===============================
There is almost nothing wrong with the master's body, although everyone let him rest well, but the master is still afraid that the business will go wrong at an important juncture, so he has to go to the store in person for three days and two ends to have a look, and then go to the factory to see.
It's just that every day, Xu Dong will personally come to give the old man acupuncture treatment, and use acupuncture to help him calm his mind and nourish his qi.
Seeing that the New Year is approaching, Gu Wanyan has already prepared the New Year's goods. At the same time, some people want to return to their hometowns for the New Year, and she has been giving monthly money and registering in advance to those who have left their homes at the New Year's Pass in the past two days.
She has been tired lately, and occasionally idle, either her neck is sore or her lower back hurts, which can't help but make her secretly miserable. After dinner, the last person's monthly money was distributed, and Gu Wanyan could finally take a little rest.
"Su Qiu, go and put away the registration book. Gu Wanyan stretched out her hand and put the full book on the table, and instructed Su Qiu.
Su Qiu carefully picked up the book, answered yes, and went to the storage compartment.
Gu Wanyan walked into the room, thinking about taking a hot bath to relax.
Originally, everything was normal, but just as Gu Wanyan entered the door with her front foot, she suddenly felt a sudden push from behind, pushing her into the room at once. Then she heard the doorframe thump and slam it shut.
Before Gu Wanyan could react, she suddenly felt that someone was firmly restraining her behind her, and she couldn't even turn around. And just as she was about to open her mouth to scream, her mouth was blocked by a thick ball of cotton cloth by the person behind her, and she couldn't make a sound no matter how hard she tried.
A fine cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and a bad premonition began to spin around her head.
Who is it? Dare to be so bold and presumptuous in the Gu Mansion!
Then, her eyes were covered with a black cloth by the people behind her, and she was tied to death. Gu Wanyan can't see or say it now, and there are waves of fear in her heart that can't help but erode her!
She strained to make a sound, and her body writhed hard to break free of the man's grip on her.
But the other party's strength was too great, her hands were grabbed by him and couldn't be pulled away, and she was struggling desperately, the whole person suddenly felt that she was thrown heavily on the bed, and then the person came over and pressed on her body.
She seemed to realize something, and her mind went white, and she almost collapsed.
Due to the disparity in strength, Gu Wanyan's struggle was in vain, and she tried hard to shout but only whined.
Then, her worst fears happened.
The person who attacked her took off her coat violently and forcefully, and then began to peel off Gu Wanyan's inner lining mercilessly, and after a while, only obscene clothes were left on her upper body, and a large area of snow-white skin was exposed to the cold air, and her body began to tremble unconsciously because of cold or fear.
The man reached out again to tear off the long skirt on Gu Wanyan's lower body, her body was subconsciously dodging, but the space on the bed was too narrow, and she couldn't avoid the other party at all!
And yet, at this very moment-
A familiar voice from Gu Wanyan came into her ears accompanied by a burst of knocks: "Wanyan, are you inside?"
It's Xu Dong!
Gu Wanyan obviously felt that the person who was abusing him stopped the movements of his hands, so he took the opportunity to raise his legs vigorously and kick the bed board hard, and the bed board immediately made a loud noise.
Presumably the man was panicked, Gu Wanyan's legs were immediately held down, and then she quickly hit the bed board with her hand. Of course, Xu Dong outside the door heard this sound, and slightly felt that something seemed wrong inside.
He frowned slightly, and shouted again: "Wanyan, Su Qiu said that you are here, you open the door." ”
Gu Wanyan's hands and feet were pressed, and there was no sound in the room. And the whining sound from her mouth was too small for Xu Dong to hear.
Xu Dong suddenly felt a strong sense of something was wrong in his heart, and with the tacit understanding between him and Gu Wanyan, Xu Dong began to bang the door with his body without thinking about it.
The person who was violent to Gu Wanyan was obviously panicked, he didn't continue to attack Gu Wanyan, and when he heard Xu Dong banging on the door, the person rolled down from the bed and fled through the window in a hurry.
And Xu Dong happened to knock open the door at this time.
He couldn't believe his eyes--he saw Gu Wanyan lying on the bed in disarray, the skin on her upper body was exposed one by one, her eyes were still covered with black cloth, and her mouth was stuffed with something-
A shrewd person like Xu Dong knew what was going on inside Fang Cai at a glance, he secretly cursed in his heart, damn it, and then hurriedly ran over and pulled the quilt on the bed and covered Gu Wanyan's body, then took out the things in her mouth and untied the black cloth tied to her eyes.
I saw Gu Wanyan's face was frighteningly white, and her red eyes were empty but full of anger and horror.
Xu Dong was distressed for a while, and hurriedly wrapped her tightly with a quilt, then hugged her in his arms, gently patted her still trembling back, and whispered softly: "It's okay, it's okay......"
Gu Wanyan leaned weakly on Xu Dong's shoulder, gritted her teeth and didn't cry out, but the tears slipped down quietly.
Her consciousness gradually recovered from her numbness, and she began to ask in her mind who it was. Who is it?
Suddenly, there was a loud sound of a heavy object falling to the ground at the door.
Xu Dong looked over, and the door was knocked open by him just now-only to see a few maids who were carrying hot water to serve Gu Wanyan to take a bath, their eyes widened, their mouths wide open, and they stood at the door in a daze, all looking stupid. It may be that the maids saw the scene too terrifying, so they were so frightened that they let go, and the things in their hands fell to the ground with a bang.
Xu Dong let go of Gu Wanyan, slowly let her lie down, then got up and walked over to the maids and said, "Serve the second wife to change her clothes, and take her to the room in Xiyuan to have a good rest." ”
One of the maids looked at the embarrassed Gu Wanyan, and immediately realized that something was wrong with the second wife, and immediately nodded quickly: "Yes!
Xu Dong turned his head and glanced at Gu Wanyan worriedly, then raised his feet and walked towards the old lady's room.
