Chapter 3 Departure

Guo Yuanbai was full of confusion in his heart, and his wandering gaze collided with Qu Suyi in the air. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He saw anger, resentment, and disappointment in himself.

At first, Qu Suyi was the second wife of the Guo family, and there was no opposition from the Guo family. After all, in a big family like the Guo family, it is common to have three wives and four concubines. One more is not too much, and one less is not too much.

But the mistake is that she gave birth to her daughter Xiaoxin within seven months of coming to Guo's house, even two months before the eldest lady gave birth to Huanyue. All of a sudden, the Guo Mansion suddenly criticized this woman who had no family power, no background, and could even be said to be of unknown origin. Some people say that in order to compete with the eldest lady for status, she wanted to give birth to Guo Yuanbai's eldest son, so she secretly took a proliferative drug. Some people also said that she was misbehaving at all, and she threw herself into her arms on the way back to Beijing with Guo Yuanbai. Even more seriously, when she came to Guo's house, she had it in her belly, and it was impossible to say whether the child's surname was Guo or not.

At first, Guo Yuanbai ignored these.

But after all, people can say it! It doesn't matter if one person says it or not, or if two people say it, but when more and more people say it, it's easy to say that the false is true.

The rebuke of his father, the reproach of his uncle, the contemptuous gaze of his brother, and even the discussion of the ministers of the court and the central government, all of this slowly distorted his heart. When facing Qu Suyi, he felt more and more tired day by day, and even some regret had slowly grown and spread in his heart. And the woman who provoked criticism gradually lost her smile in front of him.

He thought, he might have made a mistake, carried away by her beauty, and brought back a tricky trouble. Maybe it would be better if he was indifferent to her, and the relatives would be less accusatory. Then she and Xiaoxin can avoid those rights and wrongs and live a peaceful life.

However, he was wrong again, when she became a woman neglected by her husband, all the people who used to cower and sarcasm had jumped out directly, accusing her of misbehaving in person, and almost devoured her alive.

He didn't dare stand beside her. He clearly remembered that on the day of his birth, his father, Guo Gelao, broke the porcelain bowl in a rage, and his disgusted and distorted face did not add the slightest joy to his eldest granddaughter, only shame and shame.

Because of this incident, the dark dark clouds over the Guo family have not dispersed for a long time. One by one, the terrifying hostility was enough to make his courage to protect her disappear.

She could feel all the changes in him. She didn't explain, she didn't argue, and her eyes were so indifferent that there was no warmth. Only occasionally when faced with a deep heart, will I smile sincerely.

Although the mother and daughter have been pointing fingers, Xiaoxin is still growing up day by day, and she is born beautiful and lovely, which seems to be better than her beautiful mother.

After Guo Ge returned to heaven, the Gu family intended to show goodwill to the Guo family and wanted to get married.

Originally, Guo Yuanbai should have let his concubine Huanyue marry the third son of the Gu family, but when she thought of Qu Suyi's mother and daughter, who had been snubbed by him, she felt guilty in her heart.

I thought that after marrying the Gu family, their mother and daughter would be better, but they never thought that it would make even bigger waves.

Later, Qu Suyi seemed to have no emotional ups and downs, and hid in her yard every day, because she came out to face accusations and ridicule.

Guo Yuanbai didn't know why she didn't cry or make trouble, why she didn't bend to please and beg for mercy like other wives and concubines, so that he might be able to retain a trace of pity, but she would never treat herself like that.

At first, he complained that she blindly avoided it, but over time he became numb, and then he became disgusted.

Although he still loved his heart, as soon as he saw Qu Suyi's cold face, he couldn't help but retreat.

The vague and discolored past came flooding back, making him feel a chill in his heart. This woman wants to leave the imperial city, and she has to take her daughter with her.

"You're not going to come back, are you?" Guo Yuanbai narrowed his eyes and said decisively: "I won't write you a letter of resignation!" ”

"It doesn't matter anymore." Qu Suyi said coldly, "The old lady has agreed, and she only said to the outside world that she would go to her mother's house who lived in the extremely hot place of Jiangdi to cure her coldness. This trip to the Cloud Desert City is thousands of miles away, the road is long, and it is unknown what accidents happened on the way. After a pause, he said: "In short, where we go, whatever the master says, the master feels comfortable." ”

He clenched his fist tightly, this woman was so ruthless. She has been in the Guo family for nine years, and she has no nostalgia for this at all.

"So you've got a plan?" He almost squeezed the phrase out of his teeth.

Qu Suyi didn't nod or shake his head, "Out of the imperial city, the lord will let us die." Didn't the master also think that Xiao Xin was not the daughter of the Guo family, I think the departure of our mother and daughter is not only a relief for the master, but also good for the entire Guo family. ”

Guo Yuanbai's heart seemed to have been cut by something, not only did it hurt, but he also felt that his breathing was not smooth.

Is Qu Suyi complaining about her own incompetence? Even the woman you love can't protect. Now, she still has to travel to her mother's house thousands of miles away to seek protection?

This woman made him love and hate to the point that his heart itched. However, when he thought of Xiaoxin's small body, because of the cold, he hid in the thick quilt every day with the hand stove, and often shivered with cold, and he felt a lot of unbearable in his heart.

Maybe it's better to let them go back to their parents' house for two years, even if it's to recuperate. And Qu Suyi has too many grievances against him over the years, maybe the two of them are in a different place, and occasionally they can think of his goodness.

"Alright! Then you can take Xiaoxin to live in Cloud Desolate City for two years, which is an extremely hot place and has four seasons of hot springs, which must also be good for Xiaoxin's illness. Guo Yuanbai thought for a while and said: "In terms of usage, I will send someone to send it from time to time, and your mother and daughter will live there with peace of mind, and when you want to come back, you will send a letter to me, and I will send someone to pick it up." He also instructed: "Cloud Desolate City is the border city of Weiqu Country, there are many business travelers, and there is no shortage of capable people. ”

Qu Suyi didn't nod or object, she didn't want to say anything more. Her only thought now is that she can get out of here and take care of her heart.

Guo Yuanbai was still not at ease, and continued: "Qu Jiqian is your own brother, your heartfelt uncle, and he will definitely not treat you badly. Before leaving, pack well, bring more money and jewelry, and the poor can use it. ”

Qu Suyi didn't say another word, only nodded, didn't even look at Guo Yuanbai, and then turned around and left the study.

In the quiet study, Guo Yuanbai was the only one left.

After a long time, there was a heavy sigh.
