On the 30th day of the first lunar month, another holiday, the time sequence is early spring, the wind is breezy, the sky is high and the air is clear, and occasionally some sunny flowers and trees sprout sporadic new greenery, which is very gratifying to watch.

Tao Xinhe went out with Qingfang and two strong men sent by Cheng Jia.

She is going to Xiangyang Restaurant.

Go see Gu Ningxi and Mo Qiqi.

After hearing Qingfang's report, Tao Xinhe was convinced that Gu Ningxi was not the one who broke Mo Qiqi's body. During the first month, she spent time with Gu Ningxi day and night, and she knew the whereabouts of the person next to her pillow quite well.

Thinking about it, it was probably that Mo Qiqi suffered a sudden misfortune, Mo Qi was critically ill, and Gu Ningxi saw the tragic situation of the brothers and sisters on the seventh day of the lunar new year, before the guests arrived. Concubine Consensus.

Tao Xinhe thought over and over again, and accepted Gu Ningxi's invitation to send her four nights in a row, and met outside today to completely relieve the knot in her heart. Even if Tao Xinqiang found the post by accident and muttered "what's so good about adulterers", Tao Xinhe was not moved and came here calmly.

"Ms. Gu... slap... ah, honored guest, please come inside." The shopkeeper of the restaurant recognized Tao Xinhe, and after intuitively addressing her, he saw the condensed eyes of the other party.

Now it's less than Chen, the wine shop is already very lively, men and women hang out drinking and having fun, there is no taboo for drinking. Tao Xinhe frowned slightly, not understanding why Gu Ningxi lingered here and gained a bad reputation among her colleagues, but she didn't say a word, she just said "what's the matter with me" in her heart.

The shopkeeper kept talking all the way, he turned sideways to lead the way, and looked forward at Tao Xinhe: "Thanks to Gu Sicheng for not giving up, I have visited many times in recent days, and the small place is full of brilliance, Gu Sicheng should also draw a picture of the palace for us. Suburban landscape pictures. If you like Xiaosi and come to sit often, you will be able to see the finished pictures in about four or five months. Gu Sicheng's pen and ink, there must be nothing to say."

Tao Xinhe smiled lightly and didn't respond, so she listened to the shopkeeper's nagging. During these ten days, when Gu Sicheng came here, he only drank a little of the weakest wine, rested in the elegant house all night and went directly to duty. Many people said it was romantic Lead by example and so on.

After walking a winding path for quite a while, the shopkeeper led Tao Xinhe to the backyard. There is a unique cave here, several elegant houses are scattered scattered, separated by sparse flowers and trees, and semi-transparent stone gates, it is a quiet place.

Arriving at the door of a private room in the middle, the shopkeeper signaled: "Gu Sicheng has reserved this room for a whole month, and it is already inside, please come in."

Tao Xinhe asked two male attendants to wait outside the door, Qingfang was in front, knocked on the door three times and then gently pushed it open, Tao Xinhe lifted her skirt and entered.

The room is in the style of a suite, with a curtain on the left side and a couch at the back. The room in the middle is used to entertain guests. The bright window is bright, and the right side is probably a study room. Through the semicircular hanging wooden door, you can see the pen and ink on the desk. .

Looking obliquely from the door, there is a pair of official hat chairs in the corner, with a boxer table in between. The round table in the middle of the room was not too big or too small, with four exquisite wooden round stools. Gu Ningxi was sitting on one of them, and a few steps behind him was standing reading a book.

Hearing the servant's soft voice "Madam is here", Gu Ningxi put down the teacup in her hand and looked towards the door. The two women were one behind the other, and the one in front was dressed as a servant girl, bowing to herself without making a sound. On the side, the woman behind is fully revealed.

This person stood facing the light, she was dressed in a purple jacket and skirt, and her face was blurred by the morning sun into a silhouette that couldn't be seen directly.

Gu Ningxi narrowed her eyes and fixed her gaze, carefully judging from the outline of the person's figure.

Judging from her height, she should be a lady. But how could he be three points thinner than he remembered?

The man came a little closer, and when he reached the round table, he took the initiative to say, "Gu Sicheng, don't you recognize me? You send posts one by one, why?"

It was the lady's familiar crisp and sweet voice. Gu Ningxi hurriedly stood up, and after scanning the person up and down, she lowered her eyes slightly, and fixed her eyes on a certain bead flower on the stranger's bun. She was so emotional that her throat seemed to be blocked, and she couldn't open her mouth for a long time.

In the past, when he saw the lady, he would sometimes focus on a certain side of her earlobe, and sometimes put the end of her hair in a bun, which happened to be at the same level as her cherry lips, which could be seen clearly by just looking at her facial features. Because of today's hairstyle, he couldn't find these two anchor points. Gu Ningxi felt that the angle of his eyes was wrong, and the lady was even more unfamiliar.

Feeling the man's erratic and hesitant gaze, Tao Xinhe somehow became more relieved. After several years of being a couple, he couldn't see his true colors clearly, talking about love? She sat down on her own, and said steadily: "You don't have to try to identify, I'm Tao Xinhe. Tell me, what's your business?"

Gu Ningxi then sat down, and the two met for the first time since the divorce. They sat at the same table, and as long as he was bold, he could reach out and grab the lady's shoulders. This was the scene where his heart was beating wildly.

Gu Ningxi only hoped that time would stop at this moment and be sealed like amber.

However, he knew that he couldn't. Besides, the lady is a straightforward person, and there seemed to be a little impatience in her tone just now. After clearing her throat, Gu Ningxi said softly, "Tao Jushi, don't you come here unharmed? Didn't I agree?" If you don't come out, I'm lost in the moment, I don't know what to say, please forgive me."

"If you have something to say, I don't want to delay with you. Why are you the only one here? Didn't you say there is Miss Mo?"

Gu Ningxi turned around and said something to Shishu. At this time, Shishu brought a box of square and small wooden boxes. Gu Ningxi took it, put it on the table, pushed it to Tao Xinhe's hand, and explained: "She will come later. This is a little thought , Layman Tao...can you accept it?"

Tao Xinhe didn't even look at it, and said with a sneer: "Gu Sicheng...do you think there is still love between you and me? We should never communicate with each other, but I heard some old things, lingering in my heart, and read your post again Since he said that he wanted to see me, he came to tell you about it and make it over. Gu Sicheng must not be affectionate, if you have any affection, you can use it to others."

Gu Ningxi's whole body was tense, as if she had been crushed by a monster, and it was extremely difficult to even raise her hand. He swallowed a few times before he could speak out: "Tao Jushi, the box contains high-grade submerged spices, which may not be inferior to those given by Jichangbo Mansion. If you don't talk about your feelings, just treat it... just treat it... well, I'm a cousin, Thank you for your hard work for Ning Niang's marriage a while ago, so it's appropriate not to have any entanglements between you and me?"

"Gu Sicheng has good ears and eyes, and knows what Ji Changbo's mansion sent to our house. Ning Niang's marriage is a matter of concern, and I have already resigned. Does Gu Sicheng still not know? In the name of his cousin, hmph... that's all , Leaving aside this trivial matter for the time being, you can say what you want to say to me now. Or, do you want to wait until your new love arrives to mention it?"

Gu Ningxi smiled wryly, it really hurt to use the lady's eloquence on her body.

He asked again if the other party had noticed any sneaky people around him recently, which made Tao Xinhe even more impatient, disliked Gu Sicheng and didn't know what to say.

Tao Xinhe said in a cold voice: "Gu Sicheng, your words are not righteous, and you are not as good as you used to be. It makes me wonder if you have spent all day in the wine shop and drunk your sanity. It stands to reason that I shouldn't talk too much, but Gu Si Cheng, we've been separated for less than a month, and you're acting like you're drowning your sorrows in alcohol, and other people's gossip will inevitably involve me, and it will annoy me and my family, so I hope I can respect myself."

Gu Ningxi quickly defended: "Tao Jushi, I tried to drink alcohol in the first few days, but it didn't delay my work. Since the last time I took a bath, I just lived here, and I have never been drunk. The shopkeeper of the restaurant can prove it. Some people gossip Root? I can confront you, don’t be angry with me, okay? The big Gu mansion, without you, is too empty, I sleep in it, and I have nightmares, that’s why I... rent here."

At the end of the conversation, Gu Ningxi's voice was low, her eyebrows were lowered, and she ended with a long sigh. How many times he wakes up after sleepless nights, how many times he looked around in a daze, how many times he called softly but no one answered, he couldn't confide in others, lest he would be suspected of begging for mercy.

"Don't tell me, I don't care or care." Tao Xinhe pretended to stand up, "Gu Sicheng called me, but he said irrelevant things, I'd better leave."

In fact, Tao Xinhe came with a question, she wanted to ask, Gu Ningxi, if you want to take a concubine, is it because you are attracted to Mo Qiqi, or because you feel pity for her? How can you make this rash decision alone? In your heart, am I your old mother, housekeeper or something?

As soon as she entered the door, she didn't see the most worried scene of the man and woman looking at each other. Tao Xinhe was somewhat satisfied before Mo Qiqi arrived. I wanted to take the opportunity to ask questions, but in the end, Gu Ningxi obviously didn't know her true face, and she always made affectionate gestures everywhere, and her eyes were not on her face at all, um... It's not like Cheng Shicheng's anger when he visited the Tao Mansion the day before yesterday Spicy follow eyes.

Talking to Gu Ningxi for a few words, Tao Xinhe felt chest tightness, looking at the husband whom she looked up to in the past, so cautious, as if she was easily blamed, it was really uncomfortable, and the belly draft she wanted to ask disappeared.

Gu Ningxi stepped in front of her in two steps, but she couldn't control her pace for a while, she was very close to her, and the breathing could be heard from the two people who bowed their heads facing each other. He murmured: "I'm sorry, Jushi Tao, I lost my composure, please sit down for a while, okay. Well, today... today, Qiniang actually wants to see you. She should be here soon."

Tao Xinhe turned her body halfway to avoid the predicament of men in indigo robes. She could recall exactly when this dress was made, how much it cost, how she carefully touched every stitch, etc., even Gu Ningxi's breath, his body temperature through the material, his naturally drooping hands, They are all familiar to me. Tao Xinhe's heart was not without ripples.

However, when she finally heard the reason for this invitation, Tao Xinhe suddenly felt that the familiarity that was deep in her bones in the past seemed to have suddenly grown thorns, densely trapping her, and every slight trembling just now turned into a monstrous wave that was about to be swallowed. drop her. I am so ridiculous!

How could he have even the slightest emotion towards a man who dated out his heart-broken ex-wife for the sake of a new love?
