At this time, Xin Yao heard the sound of Su Tezhu and others talking on his side, so she asked, "Nancy, are you busy over there?" ”

Gu Nancy said softly: "It's okay, I'm going to deal with some things soon." ”

Speaking of this, his tone paused, as if he felt Xin Yao's reluctance and longing, and said softly: "In the past few days, when I have free time, it is already late at night, and I know that you have already slept at those times on weekdays, so I didn't call you, wife, are you complaining about me?" ”

"How can I complain so much, if you don't have anything important, how can you travel for so long, I just know that you are busy, so I didn't call, today I was suddenly worried about you, so I ......"

He chuckled: "I'll go back as soon as possible, you take care of yourself, don't worry about me, huh?" 弼"

Ji Xinyao responded with a smile: "Hmm! ”

After hanging up the phone, she got up and noticed that although the old man Gu was sitting on the recliner listening to the commentary, his eyes were looking at herself, Xin Yao thought that He Jiezhen had called before to say that the old man was looking for her something, so she walked over and took a thin blanket and gently put it on the old man's lap.

"Grandpa, Mom said you have something you want to talk to me about?" She asked softly to wake up.

The old man nodded, and then looked at her thoughtfully: "Thief girl, grandpa wants to ask you about Xiuli." ”

Ji Xinyao's eyelids jumped, and she had a faint bad premonition, but she looked at the old man quietly.

"When did this kid start to know about his background?"

"Probably...... It was my first year in college, and I have the impression that Thuli started to have a small change in his behavior during that year, but I am not sure exactly when. ”

Old Man Gu squinted, turned his head to look out the window, seemed to be a little worried, and asked in a low voice that only she could hear, "Then does he know about his mother?" ”

Xin Yao was stunned for a moment, and looked up at the old man in some surprise, he would mention these people and things to her that she didn't want to mention, which surprised her.

"Grandpa, although Xiuli grew up with me, the path he walked, including his world, was always very simple, and at first he didn't even know his background at all, although I don't know how he noticed this, but ...... I think...... He shouldn't have had much opportunity to get in touch with things related to his mother over the years. She hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to say it or not, but when she saw the old man's eyes, she finally whispered: "I heard Nancy say that Xiuli's mother fell mad more than 20 years ago because of insanity and was sent to the United States for recuperation. ”

The old man glanced at her suddenly, as if surprised that she knew, but she never mentioned it, and her bright eyes couldn't help but have something more, and looked at her seriously for a while, before smiling, and her voice inevitably added a little reminder to her: "Thief girl, since you know, I don't deliberately hide it from you, old man, but these are all more than twenty years ago, don't mention it, but old man, I suspect one thing now." ”

"What does Grandpa suspect?"

"You said that this kid Xiuli has lived with you since he was a child, and his world should be very simple, including the people he comes into contact with, and it should have nothing to do with what happened more than twenty years ago, so how did he know his life experience?" Old Man Gu's tone stopped, and Xu Yu continued: "Of course, I had a long talk with Xiu Li a few days ago, this child can accept the identity of the descendants of the Gu family, and I am very happy to stay with the old man to live for a long time, and he also said that about his life experience, he probably learned about it from an old maid in the old house of the Ji family in Y City, and then he only found out some of it himself, but he has been uncertain all these years, so he has not broken this matter." ”

Ji Xinyao listened to the old man's words while lifting the thin blanket on his lap upwards without interjecting.

Old Man Gu continued: "Although his words are reasonable, I recently sent someone to investigate, and the old maid of the Ji family's old mansion in Y City he said had passed away a few years ago, and he passed away in the year you left the Ji family at the age of seventeen, that is to say, Xiu Li's so-called fact that he learned about his life experience from that person in the year you first entered college, he deliberately concealed it, and made a lie through the deceased deceased, and if I didn't have the heart to investigate, maybe the matter would be over." Thief girl, Xiu Li's life experience, he definitely didn't know from that servant's mouth, old man, although I am old, this normal reasoning is still there, you tell Grandpa, did Xiu Li contact any suspicious people that year? ”

When Ji Xinyao heard the old man's words, she was also suddenly shocked, she didn't doubt how Xiu Li knew about her life experience, and she didn't want to check anything, and Xiu Li has always been by her side, she knows what kind of personality and what kind of person, of course she won't think about it, but the old man's words made her really heart hang directly.

Seeing Ji Xinyao's faintly surprised expression, Old Man Gu stared at her for a while, sighed and said, "Even you don't know?" ”

"Grandpa, maybe it's just that Xiuli remembers the wrong time." Xin Yao said softly, at least she never thought that Xiuli would have anything to hide from her.

But after saying this, she suddenly remembered what he had said in front of the Nippori community that day.

Old Man Gu looked at Xin Yao's expression again, and didn't ask her anything again, just patted her hand: "Okay, thief girl, you don't have to think about it, grandpa just cares too much about Xiu Li's child, after all, if you want to fill the family affection and vacancies for more than 20 years, grandpa has too many things to worry about, since you don't know, that's fine." ”

Somehow, Ji Xinyao actually felt that there was something in the old man's words, as if she knew too much about Xiuli, it would make the old man unhappy, and she didn't know much about these things, and the old man seemed to be relieved.

Could it be that the words Wen Qing said at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner last time, the old man still remembered them in his heart after all?

"Yo, what is this?"

He Jiezhen walked down from the upstairs at this time, first saw Xin Yao, smiled lovingly at her, and immediately glanced at the delicate box on the table, and couldn't help but ask directly while walking down.

Ji Xinyao stood up and glanced at the table.

"Xin Yao, this is what you brought back?" He Jiezhen walked over, picked up the box, weighed it in her hand, opened it directly and looked at it, and saw that it was actually divided into nine compartments of incense ointment: "It's quite fragrant~"

"Mom, I came back in a hurry, I didn't take anything, I saw this box just when I entered the door." Xin Yao walked over with a smile and also glanced at the box of incense cream.

This delicate box is divided into nine compartments of incense ointment, although the smell is fragrant, but it seems to be a foreign thing, Xin Yao rarely touches these, but a little curious, can't help but look down and smell it. However, as soon as she was about to smell it, He Jiezhen suddenly moved the box aside a little, and said cautiously: "Wait, Xin Yao, you can't smell these fragrant things, what if there is musk?" But I'm also hearsay, but I've also watched a lot of messy books and TV series over the years, and there is probably musk in these spices, which will lead people to miscarriage. Anyway, you are pregnant with a child now, so you should not smell these things, so as not to affect your body. ”

When Ji Xinyao heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little cautious in her heart, and said with a smile: "Mom, you are here after all, I usually don't notice these ...... at all."

"Your child is pregnant for the first time, and you really still have to be stared at by us old people~" He Jiezhen shook her head with a smile.

At this time, the old man spoke: "The box was brought to her by a friend who Wen Qingtuo had just returned from India, and when I got it back this morning, I was worried that there would be any bad ingredients in this balm for Xin Yao and the child, so I specially called Dr. Chen to come over and check it, but my inspection made the girl angry, threw the box here, and ran upstairs alone to lock herself in the room and gamble with me, saying that the old man I don't believe her!" ”

"Dr. Chen has checked, there are no ingredients that will induce miscarriage, just some Indian soothing incense, now little girls of Xiaoqing's age like all like these strange things abroad, this time I blame her, I guess she is still sulking with me in the room at this time!"

"That's good, Xiaoqing grew up in the Gu family after all, and she has been really willful recently, not only the old man, you will think about it a little more, even I can't help but be cautious, I'm afraid that the girl will make some trouble if she looks at Xin Yao unpleasantly, since this balm is fine, I will ask Wang Ma to send it to her in a while." He Jiezhen smiled, sniffed the balm again, and handed the box to Xin Yao: "Look, there are nine colors here, and the smell is also varied, no wonder you young girls like these now~"

Xin Yao was about to take the box and take a look, but at this time, a voice with resentment came from the stairs: "Ji Xinyao, take away your dirty hands, don't touch my things!" ”

She shook her hand, turned her head suddenly, and saw Wen Qing walking down in a pair of pajamas, her hair was a little disheveled, as if she had just woken up after a good night's sleep, and walked directly and quickly, snatched the delicate box from Ji Xinyao's hand, and held it in her arms as if some beloved baby had been violated, and glanced at her with disdain: "Grandpa and godmother are right, I'm just willful, I just don't like you, so what?" Now I just ask a friend to get some small gifts from abroad for me, but now the whole family is on guard against me for you, and even such a box of Indian balm has to be checked by a doctor! You're good, why are you touching my things? I sue you, in the future, you will stay away from my things! ”

Ji Xinyao faintly stared at the real grievances in Wen Qing's eyes, looked at her for a moment, and then looked at the box she was holding in her arms, and sighed secretly in her heart, although there are many things that cannot be relieved, but because of such a thing as a box of balm being strictly checked by a doctor, Wen Qing's grievances and anger are also reasonable, Xin Yao didn't want to argue with her about anything, just hooked her lips, and said softly: "I'm sorry." ”

"Xiaoqing! Isn't Grandpa doing this for your own good? You are used to being willful, grandpa is afraid that you will do something to hurt Xin Yao when you are hot-headed! Why, you're shouting at Xin Yao now, you actually want to scold grandpa, right? Old Man Gu stood up and reprimanded solemnly.

Wen Qing glared at Ji Xinyao coldly, then rolled her eyes, turned around, and looked at the old man: "People say that the prodigal son will not change his money, I am so quiet for a while, but you all don't believe me anymore!" I'm angry in my heart, I really can't yell at you, grandpa, is it possible that I vent a few words to the person I hate, grandpa, do you feel sorry for her? She didn't lose a single hair on her body, why! ”

"Did you turn back?" The old man glared at her.

Wen Qing bit her lip, hugged the box in her arms tightly, snorted coldly, didn't say anything, turned around and trotted upstairs.

While running, he kept saying: "It won't be long before I can let all of you see Ji Xinyao's true face, how dirty and disgusting she is, let you see clearly that a woman like her is not worthy of Nancy at all!" One day you will see clearly, and you will drive her away yourself! I swear! ”

"Wen Qing! You ......"

The old man angrily slammed the crutches on the ground, but Wen Qing had already stumbled upstairs and was already gone.

No one took her words to heart, Ji Xinyao also laughed, and turned around to help the old man: "Grandpa, I know that you are afraid that Wen Qing will hate me and do something, but after all, the balm in that box is just a gift brought to her by her foreign friends when they returned to China, so she was strictly guarded and checked, and the grievances in her heart were more than angry, she said two words to me, I smiled and passed, don't be angry." ”

"This girl seems to be quiet lately, and she hasn't left Gu Mansion for a single step, but who knows what kind of moth she made by locking herself in the room! Old man, I just hurt her for too many years, and it has become inertia to spoil her and spare her, but she's better not to do anything that makes me angry, if she dares to mess around again, my Gu family will never allow her again! ”

After saying that, Old Man Gu pushed Xin Yao's hand away, turned around and left with a cane.

"Grandpa, it's just spring recently, and it's windy outside, so don't go out!" Seeing that the old man was going out, Xin Yao hurriedly walked over and persuaded him.

"It's okay, I'll go to the ancestral hall to sit down, I'm angry with you younger generation children on weekdays, it's useless for me to get angry, old man, I'm used to sitting quietly in the ancestral hall alone, you don't have to worry about me!" As he spoke, the old man picked up a coat from the hanger in front of the door and put it on his body, and went out without looking back.

"But ......" Xin Yao didn't know that the old man had this habit on weekdays, and what he wanted to say, but the old man had already gone out.

"Xin Yao, don't worry, the old man has always had this temper, it's evening now, and he's almost back when the dinner starts at night." He Jiezhen said.

Xin Yao nodded, and knew that the old man was sometimes very stubborn, so he had no choice but to do it.

**************************************************************************************

After Ji Xinyao went to Yufei's room, after Yufei hit the flower shed with a car at home last time, Dr. Chen asked her to recuperate, during this time Yufei was very quiet, no one knew what she was thinking, Xin Yao could only go to her room to accompany her, but she couldn't ask anything.

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to peel apples for me, and I don't eat them, your efforts are in vain." Yufei glanced at the apple in Xin Yao's hand.

The fruit knife in Xin Yao's hand did not stop, and continued to peel the apple, and said at the same time in her mouth: "After I cut it, the two of us will eat half of it." Nancy often tells me that pregnant women should pay attention to balanced nutrition, apples are the most versatile of fruits, I can't eat this one, it's good if you help me eat half of it~"

Yu Fei paused, suddenly glanced at the ring on Xin Yao's right ring finger, and whispered for no reason: "My brother is really good to you." ”

Xin Yao peeled the apple, put down the fruit knife, and looked at her with a smile: "Isn't Nancy the same good to you?" With such a good brother, do you still want to be jealous of my sister-in-law? ”

Yufei pouted: "What kind of vinegar am I eating with you?" I just suddenly remembered Shan Ying, when my brother and Shan Ying were still in the United States, I was also in the United States, I thought that my brother's care and tolerance for Shan Ying at that time was already rare, and even at that time I thought that he would not be so good to any woman in this world except Shan Ying. Now it seems that I was wrong. My brother has done more than you before, no matter how remorseful and obsessive Shan Ying wants him to turn back now, I'm afraid that Yiqiē is really just her whim. ”
