Chapter 118: Discovering the Heart
Gu Xiangyi and Xiao Jingyao were not surprised, because Xiao Jingyao had already investigated the matter, but he didn't know if it was true or not. And Gu Xiangyi had already guessed this in his heart.
It's just that when Jiang Xian said it himself, it completely confirmed those conjectures, and Gu Xiangyi still felt excited and relieved in his heart.
"It's good to be alive. She shed tears again, and the tears fell on Jiang Yan's quilt one by one: "Yi Jingxiao is the benefactor of our family, and he has helped us too much." ”
Jiang Yan knew that his sister would be like this, reached out and patted her back, gave her a very manly embrace, hugged her and said: "I just said that Brother Xiao Shu Jiren has his own natural appearance, and even if the emperor's dog thief is tired, he can't move a single hair of Brother Xiao Shu!"
"You're poor. Gu Xiangyi smiled and scolded, and then asked, "Is he okay now?"
"The situation is good, I heard Yi Jingxiao say that Brother Xiao Shu went to assassinate Yuan Dong, but it didn't succeed. If you want to see him, I want to find a way, but your true identity can't be known to Yi Jingxiao. ”
Gu Xiangyi nodded: "I guess it was his hand." ”
Xiao Jingyao was also happy for Gu Xiangyi, looking at her side face, as if she was half asleep and half awake, so that Xiao Jingyao couldn't take his eyes off for a while.
He wants to be like Jiang Yan, with a suitable identity, to care for Gu Xiangyi, to give her a hug when she cries. But he couldn't do it after all, he wasn't even as good as Yi Jingxiao's name.
Leaving the house where Jiang Fan lived, Gu Xiangyi glanced up at the moonlight, the gloomy color between his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be blown away by the cold wind, and the curvature of the tails of his eyes was also stretched more than before.
Her beauty did not fall into Xiao Jingyao's eyes.
"It's cold, you put it on. He took off his cloak, put it on Gu Xiangyi, and clumsily tied the straps for her.
He is very tall, and Gu Xiangyi is much shorter than him, and the long cloak is a little mopping, which is extremely inconvenient to walk.
"You better wear it, give me the cloak, aren't you going to be frozen?" Gu Xiangyi reached out and untied the lacing, and handed the cloak to Xiao Jingyao.
The moment he handed out the cloak, a strange feeling flashed through his mind. At that time, when she rescued pomegranates in Mengliuhe, she wore Yi Jingxiao's cloak, and when she returned it to Yi Jingxiao, she personally put it on for him, and she didn't feel anything wrong at that time. But today she also returned the cloak, but it was just a different person, but she would not subconsciously put on the cloak for him.
What does this mean?
Seeing that she was a little unnatural, as if she was thinking about something, Xiao Jingyao took the cloak and put it on her without saying a word. Seeing that the cloak was a little mopping, he simply hugged Gu Xiangyi.
Gu Xiangyi, who was suddenly picked up, exclaimed, hugged Xiao Jingyao's neck with both hands, and there was a look of surprise on his face that was slightly red by the cold wind.
He didn't look at the person in his arms, she didn't say much, the two seemed to know each other, and they were speechless for a while when they returned to the carriage.
The cloak on his body seemed to be extraordinarily hot, Gu Xiangyi raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Jingyao, who was sitting opposite and didn't know what he was thinking, and then looked down at the cloak he was wearing, pondered for a moment and said: "It's better for you to wear it, it's quite warm in the carriage, I am wearing two cloaks, and I am sweating." ”
Xiao Jingyao stretched out his hand to take the cloak, but did not wear it, but put it on his forearm casually, until he got out of the carriage and sent Gu Xiangyi home, and returned to his residence, and the cloak was not put on again.
For many years afterward, the cloak hung quietly on a wooden brace and was never worn again. Although it has been there motionless for many years, it is exceptionally clean, and no ash has ever fallen on it, and there are people who have specially served it all day long, and several times people have seen Xiao Jingyao eating wine in front of the cloak, and he is drunk and doesn't know what to say.
Only when Xiao Jingyao himself understood that the wine was on his head, he could vaguely see that the night when the cloak was worn on Gu Xiangyi's body, she blushed slightly, came out of Jiang Yan's room, and smiled back, her eyes were bright.
But that's another story.
Hearing that Jiang Yan was found back, Pomegranate was also relieved, seeing that her girl was tired, she didn't dare to alarm others, after all, the night was already late, and she was afraid that it would be bright after tossing for a while, so she personally fetched hot water, waited for Gu Xiangyi to freshen up, and then beat her legs and pinched her back, and added some charcoal to the charcoal basin.
Gu Xiangyi is a person who dares to face her sincerity, but tonight's sudden strange thoughts made her a little evasive, turned around on the couch, she looked at the pomegranate in the night, opened her mouth and asked, "Pomegranate, have you ever pretended to be a person in your heart?"
Pomegranate didn't raise his head, and replied without thinking about it: "Yes, after being rescued by Song Niangzi, the slave maid was full of Song Niangzi, and later Song Niangzi died, and the slave and the girl depended on each other, so they were full of girls." ”
Yes, she hasn't been out of the house a few times, and she can't see any other men except the people in the house, who else can she pretend to be in her heart except for her master?
Gu Xiangyi turned over again, and her heart was even more flustered and dazed.
The road to revenge is already bumpy, how can it be implicated in the love debt of the children?
But finding his brother is a good credit to Yi Jingxiao, he has helped himself again and again, and has helped the Ning family so many times, should he really turn a blind eye? Shouldn't he go and say thank you?
Maybe it's good to just say thank you, and it doesn't matter in the future, and she can put all her mind on avenging the hundred or so mouths of the Ning family.
Pomegranate saw that something was wrong with the girl, and after a long night's work, she returned to the couch and lost sleep. She asked tentatively, "Girl, is it uncomfortable?"
Gu Xiangyi shook his head, and then remembered that the pomegranate might not be visible in the dark night, and opened his mouth again and said, "It's not uncomfortable." ”
"Why can't the girl sleep? Tell the slave and maid what is disturbing, the slave and the maid do not understand much of the truth, but are willing to be the girl's talk. ”
As she spoke, Pomegranate covered her with the quilt again.
"I'm a little afraid of the prince of Jingde. Gu Xiangyi realized that she was a little confused, but those were all the true thoughts in her own heart, which she said subconsciously without thinking through her brain, and she didn't need to explain to Pomegranate: "Every time he appeared in the past, I felt nothing, but this calm was suddenly broken by an incident tonight, I seem to care about him a little, but I don't want to be like that, and I can't either." I haven't avenged the Ning family's blood and hatred, how can I be stumped by those things that love my children? I'm afraid I can't have emotions in my life. ”
This time, Pomegranate understood.
She asked softly, "The slave maid understands what the girl means, but the girl has found that she is attracted to the prince?"
Gu Xiangyi didn't answer, nor did he nod.
"Shizi is a very good person, this girl understands, in fact, the love of children and the word revenge do not go along at all, with his help, the girl will have a smooth journey in the future, right?"
Gu Xiangyi understood all this, but she was unwilling to use Yi Jingxiao.
