Chapter 245: Jokes
No wonder she was the only one who was worried about his spring affairs all the time, and Gu Jingcheng himself didn't care about it at all.
Su Xiaomu closed his eyes, and a tear rolled down from his eyes.
She tried to contain the anger in her chest, not to let it burn her whole body.
"Your legs, what's the matter?"
She raised her hand and grabbed Gu Jingcheng's wrist, gradually increasing the strength in her hand: "Why are you lying to me?" β
It's just a joke, she's been kept in the dark all along.
"I had something unspeakable." Gu Jingcheng tightened his strength, he hugged Su Xiaomu tightly and was at a loss, "Besides, my legs haven't been good for long, can you give me a chance to explain?" β
"Oh no, I don't want to hear any explanation from you."
Su Xiaomu stubbornly broke his fingers away, one by one.
She brushed aside Gu Jingcheng's arm and kicked the door open to leave.
The cold wind was raging outside, and although there was no frost and ice condensation, Gu Jingcheng still felt that his heart was cold to the bone.
He sat on the bed and looked down at his legs, wishing for the first time that he was really lame.
The dawn was very slow, Gu Jingcheng sat for a long time, he felt the time passing by his side, and suddenly felt that this time Su Xiaomu was afraid that it would be difficult to forgive him.
The door that was pushed open was facing the screen, and a rare figure flickered.
Peach came in to collect their changed clothes to wash, and when she saw Gu Jingcheng, she rolled her eyes unabashedly.
"My lady said that if Gu Gongzi recovers from his injury, he will change places to live, our temple here can't accommodate a big Buddha like Gu Gongzi, and Gongzi doesn't want to rely on it, you are such a golden and precious scholar who will not be able to see us as girls."
Taohong picked up Su Xiaomu's clothes that she had changed yesterday and left, not looking at Jingcheng at all.
"Where's your lady?"
Gu Jingcheng didn't care about Taohong's attitude towards him, he only cared about how Su Xiaomu looked at him, and he didn't care about anyone other than her.
"My lady went out early in the morning, and she didn't sleep until three strokes in the morning like her son, and the carriage was ready for you, and you could go in no time."
RosΓ© didn't speak as pleasantly as before this time.
Gu Jingcheng's things Su Xiaomu packed up all for him overnight, and they were all put on the carriage at this moment.
She erased all traces of him in the hot spring courtyard, Gu Jingcheng sat in the carriage and looked at his books and articles, and for the first time he had this feeling of complete panic.
He never thought that Su Xiaomu would be such a "ruthless" person, he only knew that she couldn't rub sand in her eyes, and he had also expected that she knew what the scene would be like in this matter, but he never thought that things would be so out of control in the end.
The carriage was supposed to go to Wan Fuzi's house, and Gu Jingcheng made a lot of arrangements to study during the New Year, but he was uneasy and went straight to Zhou Lin.
Zhou Lin always knows a little more about women than he does, maybe he can give him some advice to see how to make Su Xiaomu angry.
It was his fault, and it was all his fault.
ββ
After Su Xiaomu left the hot spring courtyard in the morning, she entered the city non-stop, she first went to the dessert shop to see Aunt Zhao's business, and then took Zhao Mu and Zhao Lin to buy the materials to be used to make the balm.
She hadn't made a balm since she came here, so although she had a lot of ideas in her head, it would take a lot of effort to realize them one by one.
Zhao Lin and Zhao Mu followed behind her with big bags and small bags, and she saw that they were listening to her very much, and suddenly became a little in a trance for a while.
She has been holding back a fire in her heart since the morning, and she just hopes that this can divert her attention, but all the unpleasantness will not disappear because of this, but the more depressed she is, the easier it is to rebound.
Gu Jingcheng lied to her, she believed Gu Jingcheng so much, and felt guilty about his injury so far, he actually lied to her.
For almost two months, she has been taking care of him personally, worrying about him every day and worrying about him.
But I didn't expect that these are just useless work, everything is fake and can't be counted.
"Is the lady in a bad mood today?"
Zhao Mu asked her tentatively: "It's been a long time since I came out today, and the lady seems to have never laughed." β
"I can't say I'm in a bad mood, I can only say that I've not been happy all day."
Although Su Xiaomu was irritable, he did not spread his temper to Zhao Mu and Zhao Lin.
"If you usually do something that Aunt Zhao is angry about, how is she in general?"
Su Xiaomu is sulking here alone now, she doesn't want to see Gu Jingcheng, and she doesn't want to listen to his explanation, but it is also difficult to reconcile with herself.
As soon as he calmed down, his mind was full of images of him standing up and running towards her yesterday.
If it were changed to the past, such a Mary Sue scene, it would be difficult for Su Xiaomu not to be moved.
But for now, all she knows is that it's all deception.
"My mother usually scolds us, so that my brother and I kneel in front of our ancestors and admit our mistakes to our ancestors."
Zhao Mu scratched his head, he was also a little embarrassed: "But my mother hasn't been like this for a long time, since we have been with my mother, she feels good everywhere we are, why does she still scold us?" β
"And my mother also said." Zhao Lin said with a smile, "People live for decades, you should always think of something happy, don't lock yourself in the bad things in the past, we are just ordinary people, and being happy is the most important thing." β
"Yes, Aunt Zhao is right, the most important thing is to be happy."
Su Xiaomu touched their heads and agreed.
Su Xiaomu finally thought about it.
Although Zhao Lin and Zhao Mu are still children, what they said is very reasonable.
She is so entangled now, but she is just embarrassing herself with Gu Jingcheng's mistakes.
It was he who did not do it right, and he did not treat people with sincerity in the relationship between the two of them.
Su Xiaomu didn't want to delve into what Gu Jingcheng was thinking at that time.
In fact, she could more or less guess why Gu Jingcheng was pretending to be lame, and after studying it carefully, which county lord from the capital was always a big threat to them.
Although Gu Jingcheng is a talented man who has a lot of fame in Fucheng, maybe His Majesty in Beijing has also heard of his talent, but before the imperial examination, Gu Jingcheng was just a white body, where could he afford to offend the county lord from the capital?
Even if he can afford to offend, if he takes 10,000 steps back, is he really willing to give up his low-hanging fame and be an idle writer in the future?
No, Gu Jingcheng couldn't do it, so he had to pretend to be lame and deceive the county lord.
Su Xiaomu never felt that he was a kind-hearted person, and he was also very interested in finding reasons for others, so she just felt that Gu Jingcheng was pretending to be lame in addition to refusing the "oppression" of the county lord, and he couldn't get what he really wanted from the county lord.
Whether it is the "weakness" of the birth of the poor family, or the feelings of other women, the county lord can't afford it.
Thinking of this, Su Xiaomu instantly felt that his mood suddenly brightened.
