Chapter Seventy-Two: A Heart for the Monarchy
The typhoon has not yet completely said goodbye to Beicheng, and the sun is thin all day, and the strong wind is lazily blowing.
After yesterday's baptism, the flowers and plants in the courtyard, the potted trees, the slanted branches are broken, the flowers are scattered, and the leaves are scattered, and the gardener has not had time to repair them again.
So today's Huo Mansion at dusk is like a dull and slightly decadent oil painting.
In the brightly lit hall, an old man with gray hair sat alone at the wide dining table.
Sister-in-law Lan shook her head and walked down the stairs and recounted to her: "The third master said that he was sleepy and wanted to sleep, the fourth young master worked in the study and said that he was not hungry, and that Miss Gu, she said that she was sick to her stomach and didn't eat." ”
Mrs. Huo muttered: "I don't know what to do, it's really, it's not worrying." ”
Although she is old, she is not old and confused.
Huo Tingjun, Gu Meng, and Gu Xi must have something to hide from her.
Sister-in-law Lan comforted: "Old lady, don't be angry, young people, there will always be some entanglements and troubles, it will be fine after a while."
Mrs. Huo waved her hand: "That's it, I don't have much appetite, let's go to the Buddhist hall to chant the scriptures." ”
She staggered up slightly, and didn't forget to tell before leaving: "Sister-in-law Lan, you help me take care of Xiaoxi's pot of soup, let Xiao Tao serve it immediately after it is boiled, and watch her finish drinking, this child's body is cold and weak, and he must make up for it." ”
Sister-in-law Lan: "Well, don't worry, old lady, I will personally serve it to the fourth young grandmother later." ”
Mrs. Huo: "Alain, I am naturally relieved that you do something." ”
While the master and the servant were talking, they didn't notice that at the corner of the upstairs, someone was eavesdropping.
……
The night was like splashing ink, and there was not half a night star on the sky.
In the room, Gu Xi lay motionless on the bed, covering his belly from time to time.
Even if it is attached to the uterine warming patch, the position of the uterus is still cold, and there is a faint pain from time to time.
Baby, it's mommy who is sorry for you.
Knowing that he was not in good health, he ran out willfully yesterday.
As a result, there was a storm, and even you were cold.
Little Peach has been waiting outside the door.
Mrs. Huo told her a thousand times today to let Xiao Tao watch her closely.
You can't let her get out of bed and move around at will, and you have to support her when she goes to the toilet.
She and the child are now fragile and can no longer withstand the slightest toss.
This care of the old man, Gu Xi felt more and more that he couldn't bear it.
Since she was a child, no one has treated her so well except her mother.
If...... If Mrs. Huo knows the truth, will she be very, very disappointed in her?
Even, never to forgive her again.
Gu Xi was thinking nonsense, and suddenly heard Xiao Tao outside the door respectfully shouting, "Fourth Young Master." ”
The man's voice was indifferent: "You go down and do your thing." ”
Xiao Tao said weakly: "But...... The old lady asked me to stand guard at the door. ”
"Then do you want to follow up and watch the two of us husband and wife?"
Xiao Tao froze, and her voice became even quieter: "Fourth Young Master, then I'll go down first." ”
"It's fine, don't come up and disturb us."
"Know, I know the fourth young master."
Xiao Tao slipped away quickly, as if someone was chasing her behind her.
And their conversation, Gu Xi on the side of the bed heard it clearly.
Gu Xi was thin-skinned and unconsciously burned red.
The man, from far to near, sat on the edge of the bed.
His gaze fell, and he caught a glimpse of her blood-stained face.
Then he frowned: "My face is so red, and I still have a fever?" ”
He lifted his noble hand and touched her forehead.
Gu Xi hurriedly retreated: "No...... The warmth turned on too violently, a little hot. ”
Her dodging action made his face sink a little.
Suddenly thinking of something, he raised his eyes again, and his gaze was ambiguous.
"Do you think I'm really going to make out with you?"
Gu Xi was stunned and shook his head into a drum.
"No...... Definitely not thinking so. ”
Suddenly, the glow spread to the base of her ears.
Huo Tingjun stared at her pink and tender earlobes, and subconsciously, a sexy arc was drawn at her throat.
He glanced to the side.
Even the conspicuous birthmark on this woman's face can barely be regarded as a beauty.
Did he run into an evil spirit? I even want to be in trouble with such an ugly woman!
