Chapter 166 Two men raise their fists to fight(1/2)
The person who brought Gao Miao to the medicine shop was Mrs. Cao.
She held Lu Tiedan's hand, and as soon as she entered the door, she handed Xin Yi a teal with a smile, saying it was raised by her, and asked her to make duck soup.
After moving from Zhangjiacun to Bianjing City, Xinyi and Mrs. Cao have always been in contact. Usually when adults or children have a headache or fever, Mrs. Cao will take it to Xinyi's medicine shop, and Xinyi usually only charges her the cost of the medicine.
price.
The two families had very close contacts, but it was also on this day that Xin Yi learned that the Lu family that Miss Cao married was actually from the same family as the Lu family that Cao Yi was going to marry. But Lu Tiedan's grandfather's family was originally from the same family.
Even though I was born as a concubine, I didn't live up to my expectations. I failed in the exams many times but still gambled, and my family fortune was ruined. So I became discouraged and moved to live in Zhuangzi.
Mrs. Cao had heard some things about Xin Yi and Cao Yi, but she didn't know much about it. She exchanged a few words with Xin Yi and saw Gao Miao sitting aside in silence. She smiled and said that she would take Tiedan to Wazi next door.
After watching the sideshow, he said goodbye and left.
Xin Yi knew that Gao Miao didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing to see off Mrs. Cao. He then invited her into the inner hall and sat at a table near the Wuzhang River, making tea and serving water.
In her tea room, there are many tea drinks.
For different guests, Xinyi will prepare different teas for them.
Gao Miao raised her eyebrows after taking a sip of the sweet and refreshing rose honey tea.
"Not bad." She put down the tea cup, stared at Xin Yi for a moment, and pursed her lips slightly.
"Compared to when I first met, you have really changed a lot. No wonder my uncle is fascinated by you, and no wonder the Prince of Guangling is dedicated to protecting you..."
Xin Yi smiled: "If you have anything to say, Junjun, just say it."
Gao Miao narrowed his eyes and looked at her, and snorted coldly: "My uncle is so sick that he is bedridden. My cousin... cut her wrists and managed to save her life. Now she is living with soup and medicine all day long, and she has no one to look after her."
Xin Yi was surprised.
It took a while for her to come back to her senses.
"The Lord came here specifically to tell me that he wanted me to do something for them?"
Gao Miao: "Aren't you sad?"
Xin Yi pursed his lips and smiled slightly: "Sad. But what's the use of my sadness? If you can feel better when you see me being sad, then I can feel sad."
Gao Miao looked at her deeply.
"You are so cold-blooded."
"Thank you very much." Xin Yi said: "If you have no other instructions, Lord, please come back after drinking this cup of tea. I have invited a few craftsmen to renovate the house in the afternoon, so I won't leave you to eat."
Her face was plain, without the slightest hint of impatience, and she couldn't see any other emotions. Her eyes were pink and moist, and her teeth were white and black. She smiled with her teeth bared, looking friendly and pretty.
.
Like a businessman.
Gao Miao couldn't see her losing her mind.
"You're not worried at all about your uncle being so ill?"
"Worried." Xin Yi frowned and saluted Gao Miao slightly, "I hope Mr. Cao will recover soon."
"..."
Gao Miao suddenly felt angry.
But he couldn't reach out to hit the smiling man. Xin Yi didn't do anything out of the ordinary from beginning to end.
"Ms. Zhang, is there nothing in this world that would make you panic and burst into tears?"
Xin Yi hesitated for a moment, "There are. A lot."
"for example?"
"Snake." Xin Yi looked at Gao Miao's face that changed color instantly, and said slowly: "If it is convenient, please Junjun apologize to Miss Cao on my behalf. What happened that day was that I was too afraid of snakes, which made her give birth to a child.
Misunderstanding. And..."
Xin Yi was silent for a moment, then continued: "She did nothing wrong about Wuzhanghe. Survival is human instinct, and you shouldn't be ashamed of it. It doesn't matter whether the person who saved him is Cai Qi or Wang Qi.
, is just a rescuer. A woman's body only belongs to her, and will not become dirty because of it. The pure will be pure. As long as she is willing, she will not have to worry about the rumors at all and marry into the eldest princess's house with confidence. "
Gao Miao was silent and snorted twice.
"You don't have to pretend to say nice things, huh, aren't you happy to see these things come to fruition?"
Xin Yi: "As long as the commander thinks so, there is no need to come to listen to what I have to say."
Gao Miao raised her chin and looked sternly, "I'm here today to get my things back."
Xin Yi glanced over.
The white gauze curtains were swaying in the breeze, and the fragrance of rose tea was lingering. Lord Jingzhao raised his chin slightly, looking arrogant and indifferent.
The two looked at each other and were quiet for a long time.
"Okay. Lord, please wait for a moment." Xin Yi turned and left.
Gao Miao was stunned.
Things that she refused to give back to her before, now she just said it.
This made Gao Miao, who was just looking for something to scold her, suddenly feel a little discouraged.
The powerlessness of her fist hitting the cotton made her throat itchy. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't.
~~
Xin Yi walked Gao Miao to the door, watched her leave, then turned back to her room to continue her construction plan.
At this time, everyone was busy in the front hall, the children went to school, and the backyard was quiet.
She opened the curtain and walked over. When she raised her eyes, she met a pair of dark eyes.
Haggard, gloomy, deep and melancholy, Cao Yi was as thin as a tall clothes rack, which made people sad to see him.
"Master Cao, where did you... come in from?"
Cao Yi lowered his head and smiled bitterly.
"Side door."
"How long have you been here?"
"long time."
Long enough to hear the conversation between her and Gao Miao.
"Cao wanted to say something to the lady, but he was afraid of ruining the reputation of the lady, so he had to take this step. I hope the lady will forgive me..."
The weather is beautiful today, and a golden sun hangs on the treetops on the wall, which makes Cao Yi's face look particularly warm.
Xin Yi took a deep breath and smiled.
"It's okay. Mr. Cao, please sit in the back room and talk."
Before her voice fell, she smiled again, "Next time Mr. Cao comes to see me for something, don't go to such trouble. I run a medicine hall and everyone in the world can receive it. Even if someone makes irresponsible remarks, I won't care.
, Of course, Mr. Cao cares about reputation, which is another matter."
Cao Yi stood there quietly, his eyes as dark as thick ink.
"I... won't go in. Just say it here."
Xin Yi did not force anything, smiled slightly, and stood upright.
"Then please tell me what you have to say, Mr. Cao. I am all ears."
"I regret it." Cao Yi looked at her with his eyes dreaming, with pleading eyes. Such humility and pity made Xin Yi unable to find the slightest trace of the high-spirited Master Cao who was the commander-in-chief of the palace in the past.
"I can't bear to see my wife. One day without seeing her is like three autumns. Three days without seeing her is like seeing the underworld."
Xin Yi murmured a few times, but did not say a word.
She was very unfamiliar with this kind of Cao Yi.
Standing so alone in the wind, he had thin clothes, messy hair, tightly clenched fists to suppress his emotions, and a pair of helpless eyes, like an abyss hiding pain. As long as he took one more look, he would be able to
Drag her to hell...
Cao Yi's pain made her very uncomfortable. Her heart felt like being thrown into a hot pot, and she didn't know what to do.
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have given up on you and my love for you." This was the first time that Cao Yi was so humble in front of others, but every step he took towards Xin Yi seemed to be stepping on the surging and joyful heart.
The beat of the drum made his blood surge.
Like a general charging into battle, life or death is about to begin.
"Will my wife forgive me?"
"Master Cao." Xin Yi shook his head, "I never blamed you, and you didn't do anything wrong..."
"Can the lady... start over with me?" Cao Yi stared into her eyes, full of eager hope, "I promise you, no matter what you want, I will promise you. I..."
"Master Cao, it's impossible." Xin Yi's head was pounding. He really couldn't say cruel words, but he had to say, "You are very good and excellent, but we are not suitable. You have too heavy responsibilities and too much responsibility."
It is difficult to live a happy life with such guilty feelings. Even if Mr. Cao is willing to break through the shackles of the family for me, he will definitely feel deeply sorry for the eldest lady and the Cao family. Then the two of us will live in this world for the rest of our lives.
