Chapter 80: A New Year
The next day, after everyone woke up from their sleep, they were called together by Cheng Mo in a daze. In addition to Gu Man and Ji Moyan, all the concubines and maids from the whole house gathered together.
When everyone came to the courtyard, they saw Fan Li kneeling in the courtyard, and there was a strange man in thin clothes kneeling next to him.
At this time, the ice and snow were melting, and the temperature was much colder than when it snowed, and the man did not know whether he was frightened or frozen, but in short, he knelt on the cold ground and shivered.
And Fan Li's face was like ashes, and he didn't move.
Needless to say, everyone guessed it.
Ji Moyan didn't know why Cheng Mo didn't ask the two of them to participate, so he quietly took Gu Man to a short distance and hid, not too conspicuous but just enough to hear everyone's conversation.
Just after Cheng Mo ordered Fan Li to be executed, Ji Moyan couldn't help but step forward to stop Cheng Mo's decision.
Cheng Mo's face was displeased, he didn't want Gu Man and Ji Moyan to come, he just didn't want them to see his cruel side. However, this incident really made him unbearable, and his woman actually gave himself a green hat!
He does not hesitate to lose face and let all the people in the house take warning!
Ji Moyan looked at Cheng Mo and said, "Master Hou, she is indeed an unforgivable sin, but she is indeed guilty of not dying!" She has never killed anyone, she just wants a child to win your attention and your affection! Please spare her life! ”
Cheng Mo pursed his lips tightly and looked at Ji Moyan with a serious expression.
Gu Man also walked up at this time and asked Cheng Mo to forgive Fan Li.
Fan Li in the book was given to death, but it was just a sentence in the book. But in front of this fence, she is a real person with flesh and blood, nose and eyes! She couldn't imagine that such a living person would be killed in a corner she couldn't see......
She can't do it!
"Master Hou, it's better to drive the two of them out of the house! In the future, whether life or death has nothing to do with the Hou Mansion, Fan Liang deserves death! But the unborn child in the womb is innocent! ”
Cheng Mo raised his head and looked at Gu Man, and suddenly remembered what she said when she sent Ji Zhou that day......
She said that if everyone had only one husband or wife in their life, then these women would not be jealous and poisoned in order to gain their husband's affection.
Cheng Mo frowned, looking at Fan Li kneeling in the cold wind thoughtfully.
Later, Cheng Mo did not kill Fan Li after all, but ordered someone to drive Fan Li and the adulterer out of the Hou Mansion, and from then on, they were not allowed to appear within a radius of ten miles from the Hou Mansion!
As for Fan Li's later life, it is unknown.
A farce stopped, and I wanted to give my subordinates prestige, but I didn't expect to relent.
Cheng Mo returned to the house with a pale face, followed by Ji Moyan.
She knew it might not be the time to speak, but she didn't want to drag it out any longer.
After entering the house, Ji Moyan said to Cheng Mo: "Master Hou, I have something to say to you!" ”
Cheng Mo looked at Ji Moyan, suddenly stepped forward and hugged Ji Moyan, his voice was hoarse and crying, "Yan'er, don't call me Master Hou, it's okay to call me Zimo like we just met?" Please, don't say...... Don't say ......"
Ji Moyan's arm was raised, she wanted to respond to him, but after thinking about it, she put her hand down again, "Master Hou, let's not run away anymore!" You know, we ......."
Cheng Mo suddenly let go of Ji Moyan and interrupted Ji Moyan's words, "You let me think about it, okay!" Give me three days, and after three days, I'll give you the answers you want! ”
Ji Moyan looked at the man in front of her with a pale face and red eyes, and in the end, she still couldn't bear to say something to refuse. He nodded slowly, and walked out of the room.
…………
The battle between our country and the Dabu clan has now entered a white-hot stage, and the soldiers on both sides are brave and good at fighting, and it is difficult to distinguish the victory from defeat.
Three days later, Cheng Mo suddenly asked the emperor again for his life, asking to bring the army to support the crown prince Xiao Jinyi.
He finally broke his promise......
Cheng Mo didn't dare to look directly into Ji Moyan's eyes, like a child who had made a mistake, "Yan'er, once I go this time, I don't know when I can come back, I hope that during this time, you and I can think about it again, I don't want to be separated from you, because I really love you!" If I can come back safely, I hope you will change your mind! ”
Anyway, Cheng Mo didn't dare to stay in Ji Moyan's courtyard longer, he was about to set off today, and he didn't want to even have the last thoughts.
Cheng Mo went to Gu Man's courtyard again.
He didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly, then stretched out his arms to her.
Gu Man subconsciously dodged, Cheng Mo smiled bitterly: "Once I go this time, I don't know if I can come back alive, don't you want to say a final goodbye to me?" ”
Gu Man said lightly: "Master Hou doesn't have to worry, my country's army is strong, and this battle will definitely be a success!" Be careful and cherish all the way! ”
Cheng Mo withdrew his hands, his face was full of sadness, and then nodded, "Borrow your auspicious words!" I'm gone......"
Cheng Mo's eyes were full of desolation, and his steps out of the courtyard looked vain and sad.
Gu Man looked at the back of Cheng Mo leaving, there was no mention in the book that Cheng Mo would lead troops to support Xiao Jinyi, so she didn't know if Cheng Mo would be able to return safely.
However, what she knows is that victory in this battle will belong to the land under her feet after all.
This battle lasted for half a year, from the ice and snow to the spring.
The leaves have quietly sprouted, the peach blossoms are blooming, and the good news from the border is also coming frequently.
There is only news from Cheng Mo...... It didn't come from the beginning to the end.
In the past six months, Ji Moyan often went out for free clinics, and Xiao Jinwen was with her.
Xiao Jinwen meant to avoid suspicion, but he heard the news from Gu Man that Ji Moyan was going to reconcile with Cheng Mo, and he was so excited that he couldn't wait to stay with Ji Moyan.
This news is that Gu Man has repaid the account of using him to choose a concubine.
And Gu Man went back to her parents' house from time to time to play with Tingli, and there was good news, that is, Tingli was pregnant! The family was very happy, and they were finally about to usher in the first junior of the Gu family.
Liu Xiaoxiang became more and more proficient in the management of the Hou Mansion, and Gu Man and Ji Moyan also relieved to hand over all the accounts of the Hou Mansion to Liu Xiaoxiang to take care of. And Liu Xiaoxiang, who has learned to be a housekeeper, is becoming more and more interested in housekeeping, and she takes care of it in an orderly manner. For the first time, she received real respect from others, and for the first time, she learned to make her own decisions, and she never imagined that she would one day be as useful as she is today.
During the Spring Festival this year, Gu Man took Ji Moyan to spend a lively New Year in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Liu Changqing also came, but he didn't talk to Gu Man.
Later, Liu Changqing told her that he had been holding back the impulse in his heart, and he wanted to talk to her, but he didn't dare, and he didn't want others to misunderstand her again. It doesn't matter if he's a man, but Gu Man is different.
He knew that Gu Man would definitely reconcile with Cheng Mo, and when the time came, he would justifiably pursue her until Gu Man agreed to be with him.
