Chapter 68: Just a Voice
The sunset courtyard is very quiet at the moment. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The maids and mothers-in-law who were temporarily recruited by Gu Xi have all been sent away by Mama Zhang.
In the huge courtyard, only the warm candlelight in the warm pavilion is lit, exuding a warm and warm temptation.
Pei Tingyan, who was already a little impatient, was attracted by such a light.
Without anyone's guidance, he walked straight towards the warmth.
Gu Xi in the warm pavilion was very beautiful under the reflection of candlelight.
Different from the glamorous twenty years ago, now she exudes a soft, maternal brilliance around her body.
She knelt beside the small desk and made a pot of tea seriously, the white mist rising from her already soft enough facial lines to become more and more exciting.
After Pei Tingyan saw such a situation, his whole heart was so soft that he couldn't help but moisten his eyes.
He hadn't seen such a leisurely wife in many years.
The two have been married for 20 years, he has been busy with his career, and she has been busy with family affairs.
He became the powerful Marquis of Yipin and the left servant of the household department, she was the most dignified, virtuous and capable lady in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It was only at this moment that he seemed to remember what Miss Gu Er, who was famous in Kyoto back then, said before she got married.
-- I don't seek fame or profit, I just hope that the years will be quiet and the present world will be stable.
But what has he given her all these years......
Pei Tingyan couldn't help but pause, as if he was afraid that he would accidentally shatter the warmth and tranquility of this room.
Gu Xi picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea, and looked at the visitor with a beautiful face: "Ah Yan, come and sit." β
A "Ah Yan" made Pei Tingyan almost cry.
Ah Xi, Ah Yan, this is the name that belonged to them in the most affectionate years after marriage, and later ......
Later, Ah Xi was still Ah Xi, but Ah Yan was replaced by the polite and cold Hou Ye.
If you want to hear the soft and sweet tone calling Ah Yan again, it seems that you can only dream it.
He hurriedly quickened his pace and sat down next to Gu Xi.
The handsome face is as profound as a knife and an axe, but his expression is as gentle as a pool of spring water.
Gu Xi put one of the cups of tea in front of Pei Tingyan: "Ah Yan, drink tea." β
Pei Tingyan stared at his wife's beautiful eyes, but did not touch the cup of tea, but held Gu Xi's delicate hands in the palm of his palm with a pair of big palms: "Ah Xi, you have something on your mind." β
He is no longer a young and ignorant young man, he will be moved by the warm atmosphere deliberately created by Gu Xi, but he will not be confused.
I haven't done anything big to move my wife recently, why do you enjoy such treatment tonight?
So pies will not fall from the sky, and the wife clearly has something to say.
Gu Xi's head tilted and leaned directly on Pei Tingyan's broad shoulder.
She said in a thick nasal voice: "Ah Yan, I want to ask you a very boring question, but please answer it seriously and not perfunctory." β
Such a slightly coquettish tone made Pei Tingyan almost want to laugh.
He tried his best to control his emotions and said, "Say it, I will never perfunctory you." β
Gu Xi said: "If Pei Tingyu and I are both on the verge of death, and you can only save one of them, what will you choose?"
Pei Tingyan finally couldn't help laughing: "Ah Xi, why did you suddenly ask such a naΓ―ve question like a child, after Niangniang became a country, you are also a dignified lady of the first grade, how can it be...... What's more, we are a family and have always taken the same position, how could that happen. β
Gu Xi raised his head with a wry smile, yes, as long as he was a person with a normal brain, he would definitely think like this.
Their husband and wife and Pei Tingyu have long been tied to the same boat, sharing the same fate of life and death, where will there be any differences.
It's a pity that Pei Tingyu's woman is not in her right mind, and she is digging her own grave.
She took a sip of tea and said, "Master Hou, Xin'er is not our child. β
Listening to her change from "Ah Yan" to "Hou Ye" again, Pei Tingyan only felt that his heart was empty a small piece, and it hurt a little.
But he didn't like to listen to the next words, what was his wife talking nonsense?
Xin'er is her favorite child, and she is a baby daughter who watches her grow up day by day while she is still in her mother's womb.
And anyone with long eyes can see that among his three children, Xin'er looks the most like him.
For this, he was both proud and a little regretful.
Men who don't like children who look like themselves, not to mention that he Pei Tingyan is also dignified and good-looking.
It's just that Xin'er is a girl, and it seems better if she can be as soft as Ah Xi.
But as a father who hurts his children to the bones, how can he let others talk irresponsible about them!
Especially since this "other" is still their mother!
How could Gu Xi bear to tell such a lie!
Gu Xi looked at his angry eyes and sneered: "I knew you wouldn't believe it, but the facts are the facts, no one can try to stop me from recognizing my biological daughter, even you!"
Pei Tingyan stood up a few times after patting the case: "Ah Xi, do you have to mess around so unreasonably like this during the New Year?"
Gu Xi said in a deep voice: "You and I have known each other for thirty years, when have you seen me Gu Xi being unreasonable, and when have you seen me Gu Xi messing around?"
Pei Tingyan's heart tightened, and he stiffened and stood beside Gu Xi: "You said that Xin'er is not our daughter, so whose child is she, and where is our daughter?"
Gu Xi raised his head and looked at Pei Tingyan: "Whether you believe it or not, facts are facts, Xin'er is Pei Tingyu's daughter, and our daughter is Yuanyuan." β
Pei Tingyan laughed angrily, Xin'er is her sister's child, and the stinky girl Yuanyuan who can make people angry is his Pei Tingyan's daughter?
Could there be a more absurd lie than this?
He only felt that the woman in front of him, who was all too familiar, had become extremely unfamiliar.
If Xin'er is the daughter of her sister, then she is the only princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The daughter of the Pei family, the only daughter of Marquis Wu Ning, is noble, but it is not a little worse than the princess.
There is also the second girl of the Yuan family who is a bastard, she is clearly the child born to Yuan Zheng and Gu Chao when they were released, and she never even came to the capital before the age of twelve, how could it be his Pei Tingyan's daughter?
People are most likely to be cranky when they are angry.
Pei Tingyan couldn't help but think of Yuan Zheng's affection for his wife.
Could it be that Yuan Zheng is not wishful thinking, and his wife is also affectionate towards him?
Otherwise, it is obviously Yuan Zheng's daughter, why does his wife have to say that it is her daughter?
If he couldn't be sure that his wife was absolutely loyal to him, and his wife had never left the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion for half a step fifteen years ago, Yuan Zheng was still a prefect in the northwest at that time, and it was impossible for him to enter Beijing, he would have wondered if Yuan Yuan was the daughter of Gu Xi and Yuan Zheng!
He said word by word: "I, never, no, phase, faith!"
This reaction was completely expected by Gu Xi, and she didn't expect him to play any decisive role in recognizing her daughter by telling Pei Tingyan the truth tonight.
Actually, she was just telling him.
She smiled faintly: "Since I dare to say this, there is enough evidence, it doesn't matter if you believe it or not, anyway, my daughter is bound to return to me." β
