Qingfang was almost exhausted, she sat at the table and dozed off with her head on one hand, nodding her head, oblivious to the approaching Second Master Xi.

In the corner by the door where the lights couldn't reach, Tao Xinhe felt the chill that Gu Ningxi brought in the moment he pushed the door, as if it had penetrated into the bone marrow. Forgot to put down the clothes.

There was an Arhat couch next to her legs, but she stood upright, her back ached, and she followed Gu Ningxi step by step without blinking her eyes.

From the dark to the bright, she noticed with sharp eyes that there was no trace of the scarf on Gu Ningxi's neck when she walked into the room.

Could it be that it is the most important thing to treasure that person's gift?

Sneering at the scarf in her heart, Tao Xinhe took a closer look. Gu Ningxi's ink-colored robe was wrinkled, and the side of her face and cheeks were flushed, like rouge remnants, so dazzlingly red. There are slight indentations on the corners of the eyes and temples, as if he just got up from the bed.

As Gu Ningxi approached the Eight Immortals' table in a few steps, a faint smell of wine wafted to Tao Xinhe's nose.

Can't help but glance out of the window, the bleak waning moon accompanied by several stars is far away in the sky, proclaiming the depth of the night, Tao Xinhe reckons it should be midnight now.

Accompanied by Qingfang, from the time after dinner until now, I have not been able to see anyone left or right, and it has been nearly two hours.

Gu Ningxi had never come back so late before, what's more, she didn't bring back any news, did she not care about the lady in the mansion at all?

In the long night, where did this man go? Can't get rid of feasting, drinking and having fun? Did the so-called "Qiniang" who just broke up in front of his eyes in the afternoon go to stay by his side later?

Tao Xinhe found that her speculation about her husband's whereabouts at night was full of malice, and at the same time, she never forgot to pay attention to his every move.

Facing the dim **** silhouette under the lamp, Gu Ningxi gently bent down, as if close to her ear, and said in a low voice: "Han Niang? Go to bed and sleep."

Never thought her husband's voice was so piercing, and Tao Xinhe never expected to see Gu Ningxi stretching out her hands in the next moment, making a gesture of hugging someone.

It turns out that this feeling is like tearing eyes.

Tao Xinhe felt as if something exploded in her head, she couldn't stand all of a sudden, she fell silently on the edge of the couch behind her, her face was hardened by gritting her teeth, her shoulders were arched hard, her limbs were stiff and cold, her hands were clasped tightly The chest seemed to be short of breath, and one hand pinched the thigh flesh under the skirt, as if feeling no pain.

Not far away, the charcoal basin that makes occasional beeping noises is probably burning fake silver charcoal. Why is there no trace of heat? Tao Xinhe didn't know how she could still be distracted by the charcoal fire, she wanted to hook her lips but couldn't move a single muscle, she could only hold her breath, staring at Gu Ningxi's hands, waiting to see his next move.

Gu Ningxi saw Qingfang open her eyes, the two looked at each other, Qingfang seemed to be trembling.

Gu Ningxi withdrew her hand, took a step back, with doubts on her face, condescending, silent for a while, and said again: "He Niang?" The tone of her voice was not as soft as before, with a sense of probing.

Qingfang remembered the young lady's instructions, so she didn't dare to make a sound, so she just sat down and lowered her head. Tao Xinhe could feel that Qingfang was looking for herself with her eyes. she feels now

I was like a puppet, unable to move, let alone give Qingfang any instructions, as if Gu Ningxi needed some code to unlock it.

Without getting a response, Gu Ningxi took two steps back, keeping a sufficient distance from the woman in front of her.

He flicked a few times. The non-existent floating dust around him seemed to want to shake off some myths, and stood up straight, his whole body was awed by it.

Gu Ningxi frowned, forming a small mountain character on her pretty face, pursed her lips and said three times from between her teeth: "Stand up." There was a faint urge to gnash her teeth.

Qingfang stood up as she said, and Gu Ningxi looked her up and down, from her hairstyle to her clothes, her gaze seemed to be suddenly poisoned, her breathing gradually became short of breath, and her chest rose and fell obviously.

It turns out that the gentleman who has always been dignified like jade still has this out-of-control attitude. Tao Xinhe in the dark claims that he has never seen it before, and secretly mocks how much he knows about her husband.

Not knowing what Gu Ningxi was looking at, Tao Xinhe's heart seemed to be grabbed. Although she was very close to the charcoal basin, she felt that she, not Qingfang, was under the scrutiny, and couldn't help shivering slightly.

In the next moment, she saw Gu Ningxi showing her heart to Qingfang, and asked coldly, "Bold! Who are you? Where is Madam?"

Qingfang's teardrops had already hit the ground in strings, her shoulders twitched slightly, but she still didn't make a sound. Tao Xinhe's heart ached, she felt that she was a little cruel, and she was very sorry for the dowry maid who had accompanied her for many years.

Tao Xinhe stood up tremblingly, took a deep breath, stepped out from the corner, and met Gu Ningxi's gaze, almost choking her breath.

Originally wanted to explain the current scene by playing around, Qingfang was wearing her own clothes, and she was wearing a maid's costume. But Tao Xinhe choked, coughed twice, stood still for the time being, and stopped talking.

Her heart was in a mess, before she could speak, Qingfang ran over in a few steps, cuddling her tightly, and involuntarily conveyed her fear to her master.

One came out from the shadow by the door and stopped, the other stood motionless in the middle of the room, the two were several feet apart.

Gu Ningxi's eyes swept across Tao Xinhe's face, her emotions were not at all turbulent, and she was no different from her usual expression when looking at other people, as if she believed that she was just a real maid.

He raised his hand and rubbed his temples, closed his eyes, and snorted coldly, "It's ridiculous."

Next, Gu Ningxi unexpectedly turned her head away and shouted loudly: "Come here."

Just after waking up from her husband's brief and never-stopping gaze, Tao Xinhe shook Qingfang's cold hand and decided to wait and see what happened.

After a while, Mrs. Zhang, who was on duty at the gate at night, heard footsteps, followed by a hurried reply from the old man outside the window: "My servant Mrs. Zhang, please forgive me for not hearing that the second master is back. Listen to the second master's instruction. "

The servants of Gu's mansion responded to Gu Ningxi's first sentence by reporting his name, which is also a unique scene of fame.

Gu Ningxi raised her voice and asked the maidservant: "Why isn't Madam in the house, where did she go?" As if he was the only one in the room, without even pinching Tao Xinhe from the corner of his eyes, the master and servant walked to the door by himself, but walked away from the two women. Several steps away.

"Ma'am? You've been in the house the whole time. Could it be that you've rested?"

Hearing this, Gu Ningxi turned her head suddenly, first looked at Qingfang who was dressed in **** yellow, and quickly turned her gaze as if hurting her eyes, and locked on the so-called "servant" who had just appeared and was ignored by him, with an expression full of disbelief.

The eyes of the two met, and after a long while, Gu Ningxi lowered her eyes first, her eyelashes trembling, and asked softly, hesitantly: "He Niang?"

"Well, it's me." Tao Xinhe replied, her voice was hoarse than usual, after all, she didn't drink a drop of water all night after dinner.

She evoked a half-smile and regained her composure, and then thoughtfully laid the steps for Gu Ningxi: "My husband has been running around for a long time, are you tired? Are you going to bed?"

When Gu Ningxi heard the lady's voice, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and her body softened a little.

He quickly approached to hold Tao Xinhe's hand, and found that the touch was as smooth and tender as ever, smelling the fragrance of aloes lingering around her body, he was finally relieved that this was indeed his wife.

Gu Ningxi hugged Tao Xinhe tightly in the next moment, and complained in her ear: "What joke are you playing with your husband? Why did you suddenly change your clothes and hair style? I almost didn't recognize it. I have wronged my lady."

Tao Xinhe leaned passively on Gu Ningxi's shoulder, and the smell of alcohol in her nose became stronger.

She thought to herself, husband, it's not that you "almost didn't recognize me", it's that you didn't recognize me at all. If Mrs. Zhang hadn't said that I was in the room, maybe you would have walked away.

He raised his hand hesitantly, wanting to hug her husband's thin back like in the past, but Tao Xinhe just touched the corner of Gu Ningxi's clothes lightly, before he could sense it, she withdrew her hand, and naturally drooped by her side.

Sighing from the bottom of her heart, Tao Xinhe said to herself: After all, it was a little better than I expected. I didn't completely recognize Qingfang as me. Although there was an obvious misidentification and name, I finally reined in the precipice before hugging her. .

Therefore, the husband can recognize that others are not me, which is better than when we first got married, but he can't recognize me as me.

At the wonton stall in the afternoon, you strode past me once, let alone, and I humiliated myself, and I was ignored by you once in the house tonight.

Tao Xinhe chewed on these desolations over and over again, as if she had just swallowed three liang of Coptis chinensis, her mouth felt bitter.

If it had been normal without the scene in the afternoon, when Tao Xinhe watched Qingfang slip away quietly by the door, leaving the couple alone in the room, maybe she would be coquettish at Gu Ningxi because of her husband's oolong joke, He was willing to give up after listening to a series of touching and lingering love words from him.

But at this moment, she just felt dull.

"Husband, do you want to wash and tidy up?" With these words, she withdrew from Gu Ningxi's arms, and made a gesture to check the doors and windows that Qingfang had closed when she left, and moved away from him.

Gu Ningxi instantly felt empty in her arms, and before she had time to keep the lady, she had to give up when she saw her rushing around.

He subconsciously raised his sleeves to cover his face and sniffed, only then did he notice the smell of alcohol on his body.

Gu Ningxi frowned fiercely, and hurried to Tao Xinhe's side to explain: "He Niang, it's all my husband's fault. I went to the Yasi to sell my holidays in the afternoon, and just happened that Zhang Shangshu was going to entertain all the colleagues in the Ministry of Rites after he was on duty. .They dragged me along.

I was in a hurry when I left the house, and I didn’t bring any books or paintings with me. Others couldn’t tell me their names, so I couldn’t ask for help. When I arrived at the wine shop, I didn’t send you a letter. It was really my first mistake. "

At the banquet, it didn't stop everyone from pouring wine. The new year is coming and it will be sealed, and everyone is too excited. I seemed to have fallen asleep after being drunk, and it was already a quiet night when I woke up in the backyard of the restaurant. I didn't have time to wash up, so I hurried back to the house, disturbing the quietness of the lady with this mess, it was really the second wrong thing. Ma'am forgive me. "
