After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

No wonder she was the only one who worried about his spring affairs all the time, Gu Jingcheng himself didn't take it to heart at all.

Su Xiaomu closed his eyes, and a tear rolled down from his eyes.

She tried her best to restrain the anger in her chest, not to let the anger burn her whole body.

"What's wrong with your leg?"

She raised her hand and grabbed Gu Jingcheng's wrist, gradually increasing the strength in her hand: "Why did you lie to me?"

It was just a joke, she had been kept in the dark all along.

"I had something to hide at the beginning." Gu Jingcheng tightened his strength, he hugged Su Xiaomu tightly and panicked, "Besides, my legs are not very long, can you give me a chance to explain?"

"No, I don't want to hear any explanation from you."

Su Xiaomu stubbornly opened his fingers, one by one.

She threw away Gu Jingcheng's arm, kicked open the door and left.

The cold wind was raging outside the house, although there was no frost and ice, but Gu Jingcheng still felt 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 limping.

The dawn was very slow, and Gu Jingcheng sat there for a long time, feeling the time passing by his side, and suddenly felt that Su Xiaomu might find it difficult to forgive him this time.

The opened door faced the screen, and there was a faint figure flickering.

Tao Hong came in to collect the clothes they had changed for washing, and rolled her eyes unabashedly when she saw Gu Jingcheng.

"My wife said that if Mr. Gu recovers from his injury, we can live in another place. Our temple here can't accommodate a big Buddha like Mr. Gu, and Mr. Gu shouldn't let you go. You are such a noble scholar, you won't be a girl like us. general knowledge."

Tao Hong picked up the clothes Su Xiaomu changed yesterday and left without looking at Gu Jingcheng at all.

"What about your wife?"

Gu Jingcheng didn't care about Tao Hong's attitude towards him, he only cared about how Su Xiaomu thought of him, and he didn't care about anyone other than her.

"My wife went out early in the morning. She doesn't sleep until three in the morning like the young master. The carriage is ready for you, and you can leave immediately."

Tao Hong's speech this time was not as pleasant as before.

Su Xiaomu packed all of Gu Jingcheng's things for him overnight, and they have all been put on the carriage at this moment.

She erased all traces of him in the small hot spring courtyard. Gu Jingcheng sat in the carriage and read his books and articles, feeling completely panicked for the first time.

He never thought that Su Xiaomu would be such a "cruel-hearted" person. Before, he just knew that she couldn't rub the sand in her eyes, and he had imagined that she knew what the situation would be like, but he never thought that it would be like this in the end. Out of control.

The carriage was supposed to go to Master Wan's house. Gu Jingcheng left behind a lot of study arrangements during the Chinese New Year, but he was disturbed and went straight to Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin always knows women better than he does, maybe he can give him some advice on how to calm down Su Xiaomu.

He was wrong about this, and it was all his fault.

-

After Su Xiaomu left the hot spring courtyard in the morning, she went into Fucheng non-stop. She first went to the dessert shop to see how Aunt Zhao was doing business, and then brought Zhao Mu and Zhao Lin to buy the ingredients for making balm.

She hasn't made balm yet, so although she has a lot of ideas in her head, it still takes a lot of effort to realize them one by one.

Zhao Lin and Zhao Mu followed behind her with big bags and small bags. Seeing that they listened to her very much, she suddenly became a little dazed.

She has been simmering with anger from the morning until now, and she is doing things non-stop just hoping that this can divert her attention, but all the unhappiness will not disappear because of this, on the contrary, the more depressed, the easier it is to rebound.

Gu Jingcheng lied to her, she believed in Gu Jingcheng so much, and felt guilty about his injury, so far he lied to her.

For almost two months, she has been taking care of him personally, worrying about him every day, and caring for him.

But I didn't expect that these were all useless efforts, everything was fake and countless.

"Madam, are you in a bad mood today?"

Zhao Mu asked her tentatively: "It's been a long time since I came out today, it seems that the lady has never smiled."

"I can't say that I'm in a bad mood, I can only say that I haven't been happy all day."

Although Su Xiaomu raised his spirits irritably, he didn't show his temper to Zhao Mu and Zhao Lin.

"If you usually do things that make Aunt Zhao angry, what about her?"

Su Xiaomu is sulking here alone now, she doesn't want to see Gu Jingcheng, and doesn't want to hear his explanation, but it's also hard to reconcile with herself.

As long as you calm down, your mind will be filled with the image of him standing up and running towards her yesterday.

If it was the past, it would be hard for Su Xiaomu not to be moved by the scene of Mary Su like this.

But at the moment, she only knows that everything is a lie.

"Mother usually scolds us and asks my brother and I to kneel in front of our ancestors and confess our mistakes to our ancestors."

Zhao Mu scratched his head, and he was also a little embarrassed: "But it's been a long time since we've been by my lady's side, she thinks we're good, why would she still scold us?"

"And mother also said." Zhao Lin said with a smile, "A person's life is only a few decades, you should always think about some happy things, don't lock yourself in the bad things in the past, we are all just ordinary People, being happy is the most important thing.”

"Yes, Aunt Zhao is right, the most important thing is to be happy."

Su Xiaomu patted their heads and agreed.

Su Xiaomu finally thought about it.

Although Zhao Lin and Zhao Mu were still children, what they said made sense.

She is so entangled now, but she is making things difficult for herself with Gu Jingcheng's mistakes.

What he did was wrong. He didn't treat people with sincerity in the relationship between the two of them.

Su Xiaomu no longer wants to delve into what Gu Jingcheng was thinking at that time.

In fact, she could more or less guess why Gu Jingcheng pretended to be lame. After careful investigation, the princess from the capital was always a big threat to them.

Although Gu Jingcheng is a talented man who has gained a lot of fame in Fucheng, maybe His Majesty in Beijing has heard of his talent, but before the imperial examination, Gu Jingcheng was only white, how could he offend the princess from the capital?
Even if he could afford to offend him, taking ten thousand steps back, would he really be willing to give up his easy-to-get fame and become an idle scholar in the future?

No, Gu Jingcheng couldn't do it, so he pretended to be lame to deceive the Princess.

Su Xiaomu never thought that she was a kind-hearted person, and she often found reasons for others, so now she felt that Gu Jingcheng's pretending to be lame was not only to refuse the "oppression" of the princess, but also to get something from the princess. to what he really wanted.

Whether it's "weak" who was born in a poor family, or the feelings of other women, the princess can't afford it.

Thinking of this, Su Xiaomu suddenly felt brightened.
