At the beginning of the sage cultivation base, the empress became an ex-wife

Chapter 42 We Are All Liars
There are bursts of glare in front of his eyes, and the surrounding space is distorted.

After everything calmed down, Gu Wanqing found herself standing in an oleander forest, and directly in front of her was a newly built wooden house.

There is a clear pool in front of the house, a pavilion, and half an acre of spiritual land behind the house.

Suddenly, a breeze blows by.

The breeze came out from the peach forest, bringing out bursts of fragrance, and at the same time blowing the blooming oleander flowers flying all over the sky.

Peach blossoms brushed against Gu Wanqing's cheeks, passed through her body, and then fell down.

Watching all this helplessly.

He stared helplessly at the wooden house in front of him.

In an instant.

An indescribable sadness appeared in Gu Wanqing's heart.Affected by this feeling, she couldn't help the tip of her nose sore, and tears glistened in her beautiful eyes.

She clenched her fists, looked up at the sky, and said, "Really? This time, are you letting me go home?"

The voice is very soft, very soft, mixed with a thick nasal sound.

Yes, this is her home.

Specifically, it should be her and Xu Ze's home...

After realizing that she would be forced to watch the memory screen, like last time, Gu Wanqing told and reminded herself many times.

All this is just in the past.

No matter how loving and happy she and Xu Ze used to be, that was just the past.

But after seeing this wooden house and seeing her and Xu Ze's home, she still couldn't hide the sadness in her heart.

Suddenly.

"Xu Ze, are you here yet?"

"It's hard for me to walk if you blindfold me like this."

"How about we go back soon?"

"I'm really, not used to being outside..."

A female voice sounded from behind.

Gu Wanqing turned her head subconsciously, and then her pupils shrank slightly.

I saw a man and a woman approaching slowly on the trail running through the peach forest.

The woman's eyes were covered by a black cloth, and she walked carefully every step of the way, as if walking on thin ice.

The man stood beside her, supporting her slightly. Whenever there was any obstacle in the way ahead, the man would kick it away in advance.

The two walked all the way, finally passed through the oleander forest, and arrived in front of the wooden house.

Looking straight at the two of them, Gu Wanqing's nose was sore.

Because it was none other than her and Xu Ze who came!
Gu Wanqing remembered this scene.

that day.

Xu Ze also came to her room through the window, and then told her mysteriously that he wanted to take her to a place.

Gu Wanqing has always refused to go out.But in the end, she couldn't stand Xu Ze's pleading and excitement, so she had no choice but to agree.

Not only that, Gu Wanqing still remembered.

That day, she and Xu Ze quietly slipped away from the back door of Gu's house and appeared on the street.

She hasn't gone out for a long time, she hasn't had time to enjoy the warm sun, she hasn't had time to enjoy the fresh air, she just waited...

The taunts of passers-by.

Although Xu Ze has been standing in front of her and trying to block the malicious surroundings for her, the words "ugly", "unworthy" and "shameless" are still being heard in her ears.

In this regard, she had to bear it silently.

Regarding this, she had no choice but to look at Xu Ze and say, "It's fine, as long as you are by my side."

Afterwards, Xu Ze put a layer of black cloth on her eyes with his own hands.

The two cuddled forward, crossed the street, walked out of the city square, and finally arrived here.

Thinking of this, Gu Wanqing shook her head, once again realizing the inferiority complex she once had and her dependence on Xu Ze.

His eyes turned to the memory screen.

Although she was very clear about what was about to happen next, she was still looking forward to it, showing a faint smile.

on the screen.

After taking off the black blindfold, looking at the surrounding peach groves and the wooden house in front of him, Gu Wanqing in the picture was stunned for a long time.

She kept rubbing her eyes until she was sure she was right, and then she said happily, "Wow, Xu Ze! This place is so beautiful!"

"Of course it's beautiful, after all, this is your home!" Xu Ze replied in the picture.

"Family?"

"Well, I've decided! Although it's not yet the wedding date, I'm going to marry you soon!"

"what?"

"Don't 'ah', don't you want to?"

"How could it be! It's just..."

"It's not just! Anyway, you are my Xu Ze's person, and you can't run away even if you want to! Even if you go to the ends of the earth, I will chase you back!"

"..."

The two people in the picture are talking with each other.

Listening to it, Gu Wanqing couldn't help being dazed again.

Obviously, Xu Ze made a slip of the tongue.

Because when she really chose to run away and choose to be indifferent...

Xu Ze didn't fulfill his promise and really came after him.

Not only did she not chase after her, but she offered to separate, becoming even colder than she used to be.

Gu Wanqing smiled bitterly.

She knew that Xu Ze could not be blamed for the matter.

After all, she had promised Xu Ze her whole life, but in the face of that self-righteous "gap", she was the first to break her promise.

Since he couldn't keep his promise, how could he ask Xu Ze to do the same?

This can only prove that she and Xu Ze were too naive in the past.

The two were so naive as to think that as long as the relationship exists, everything else is unimportant...

"We are all liars." Gu Wanqing murmured.

Instead, she looked at herself in the picture.

After hearing that Xu Ze was going to marry her in advance, although she was panicked in the picture, she also smiled happily.

Happiness comes from being about to marry Xu Ze as his wife.Panic comes from the uneasiness in the heart.

She was afraid that on the day of their marriage, Xu Ze would become a joke among others.

She was afraid that on the day of her marriage, she would not be able to bear the strange eyes of the people around her.

more afraid...

After the two get married, one day Xu Ze will despise her and abandon her like others.

Gu Wanqing never said all of this, and kept it buried in her heart.

Because she knows that she has no right to be afraid.

Because she knew that if Xu Ze was willing to marry her and never leave her, she was already lucky in this life.

But driven by this fear...

"Xu Ze, on the wedding day, can we not have a big banquet and have a big banquet?" Gu Wanqing asked in the picture.

"can."

After a short pause, Xu Ze nodded.

With such an answer, Gu Wanqing in the picture let out a long sigh of relief.

But Gu Wanqing herself knew it clearly!
Back then, she actually felt a little lost!

Because at that time, she once thought that the reason why Xu Ze agreed so readily was because her "wife" was really ugly and shameful!
Although this idea was quickly dispelled by her, it is undeniable that this matter made her feel inferior.

Gu Wanqing never mentioned these things to Xu Ze.

Aside from the fact that this was originally her request, it was also because...

Xu Ze was too kind to her.

Under such circumstances, her ugly wife really shouldn't have too many emotions.

"How much do you know about my thoughts?" Gu Wanqing asked, looking at Xu Ze in the picture.

The moment the voice fell, the picture in front of him suddenly changed.

At night, Gu Wanqing appeared in the lobby of the Xu family.

In the lobby of Nuo University, there were no idlers, only Xu Ze and his parents.

The atmosphere in the lobby was silent, everyone was thoughtful.

"Have you really thought it through?" Father Xu suddenly asked after a long time.

"Well, I've made up my mind." Xu Ze nodded.

"Ze'er, why don't you think about it again? It's not that I dislike Wanqing, but that marriage is a big deal. I hope you will think it over before you take action," Mother Xu said.

"That's right, now your engagement with Wanqing has been cancelled, so naturally there's no mention of a wedding date. Instead of rushing for a while, it's better to take your time." Xu's father echoed.

Facing the persuasion of the second elder.

Xu Ze, however, looked distressed and said in a low voice:
"Father, mother, you don't understand, Wanqing her, I'm too scared."

"Originally today, I just wanted to take Wanqing to see her home and mine in the future."

"But on the way, affected by the people around her, she was so frightened that she was trembling all over!"

"I want the people around me to shut up and tell them that no matter what Gu Wanqing is, she is my Xu Ze's wife!"

"But, Wanqing stopped me."

"She smiled and said to me, as long as I'm by her side!"

"She has always been like this. Although she looks inferior and cowardly on the surface, she is actually extremely strong in her heart."

"She was clearly terrified, but she always acted indifferent, and even said something to make me feel relieved!"

"I can't let her be like this anymore, so..."

Having said this, Xu Ze took a deep breath and said, "That's why I changed my mind and must marry Wanqing as soon as possible!"

"Only in this way can she feel a little more at ease!"

These words caught my ears, Gu Wanqing froze for an instant.

She always thought that she hid it well, and Xu Ze didn't know that she was strong or afraid.

Who would have guessed!

Not only did Xu Ze see through it long ago, but it was precisely for this reason that he proposed to get married early!

"Could it be because of this, so..." Gu Wanqing guessed something, and his expression became even more surprised.

As she expected.

After listening to Xu Ze's words, Xu's parents fell into silence.

After a long time, Xu's father sighed and said: "Forget it, if this is the case, then you two should get married as soon as possible."

"That's right, since you are unwilling to give up Wanqing, then my Xu family can't be sorry for her! Tomorrow I will send out an invitation card, the date of engagement! Eighth lift the big sedan chair and carry her through the door!" Mother Xu also made up her mind.

"Father, mother, there's no need to be like this." Xu Ze shook his head and refused, "I have already promised Wanqing that I won't have a big banquet with guests, and just get married quietly."

"Zer, it's your fault."

Xu's mother frowned and said, "A woman's saying and thinking are two different things. Although Wanqing said so, she should still hope for a perfect marriage."

"How come I don't know these things?" Xu Ze shook his head and smiled wryly:
"But I also know that the reason why Wanqing made this request is because of fear."

"She is afraid that on the day of her marriage, what awaits her is not a blessing, but a mockery."

"I really can't bear to let her be pointed at by others on her big day."

"Furthermore..."

Speaking of this, Xu Ze corrected his expression and said, "Don't forget, Wanqing doesn't know that the engagement has already been cancelled."

"Under such circumstances, if it is really a feast for the guests."

"When the time comes, how will you let Wanqing deal with the rumors in the room?"

What Xu's parents said made sense.

"Looking at it this way, Wanqing may have to be wronged." Father Xu said with emotion.

"Yes, Ze'er." Xu's mother corrected her expression and told her, "From now on, you should treat her better, and don't let her be wronged again!"

To this, Xu Ze only replied with one sentence: "Father, mother, don't worry. Wanqing her, she will be my Xu Ze's wife for the rest of her life!"

After listening to such a conversation, Gu Wanqing couldn't help being moved.

She always thought that she had endured too much in this relationship.

Can be the result!
All she endured was the malice around her and her own thoughts.

On the other hand, Xu Ze?

Apart from having to face the gossip around him, Xu Ze is also constantly thinking about her!

Not only did he take care of her low self-esteem and cowardice, but she even saw that she wanted to be strong, and she acted silently for it!

"I really don't know, you think so much about me." Looking directly at Xu Ze in the picture, Gu Wanqing choked up.

At this moment, she couldn't bear the pain in her heart any longer, and huge teardrops burst out of her eyes immediately.

At the same time, the emotion called "guilt" in my heart also became heavier.

……

……

Gu Wanqing originally thought that this is the end of the memory picture.

As everyone knows, the picture is still going on.

After an unknown amount of time, she reappeared in front of the wooden house.

On the edge of the door of the wooden house, and in the interior of the bright window, there is actually red silk hanging.On the surrounding peach trees, there are also light bells tied with the word "囍".

A kind of joy filled the surroundings.

The wind picked up again.

The breeze blows through the peach grove, bringing out the peach blossoms all over the sky, making the bells ring, and at the same time blowing the red silk into the wind.

Gu Wanqing knew that this was the day she and Xu Ze got married.

It was quiet all around.

There is no welcoming procession, no full of guests, no noise and joy.

Yes, only in front of the wooden house, among the peach groves, under the watchful eyes of two middle-aged couples, a new couple bowed to each other.

It was obviously an extremely simple and deserted marriage, but everyone present had tears in their eyes.

And at the moment when the newcomer stood up.

"Son, you will be husband and wife from now on, you can't let Wanqing down from now on."

"Since this is your choice, you must stick to it."

Xu's parents stepped forward and exhorted them seriously.

"Xu Ze, I will hand over my daughter to you."

"Your affection for Wanqing impresses us. I only hope that you will not forget your original intention and carry on from beginning to end."

The parents of the Gu family stepped forward and said one after another.

After saying that, everyone looked at Xu Ze directly, waiting for the latter to respond.

No one exhorted or entrusted Gu Wanqing in the picture.

Because from everyone's point of view, if the two really had problems in their relationship, it would only be Xu Ze who failed Gu Wanqing.

After all, Gu Wanqing at this time not only has low self-esteem and ugly face, but also can't cultivate.

Such women are often the objects of abandonment.

But in fact, this is not the case.

Seeing this picture in her eyes, Gu Wanqing felt even more guilty.

She had to admit.

In this relationship, she was indeed the one who failed Xu Ze first...

Facing everyone's entrustment, Xu Ze in the picture did not reply directly.

Under the eyes of everyone, he just took his wife into his arms, then looked at the peach forest around him, and asked, "Do you know why I chose to build a home here?"

After looking at each other, everyone shook their heads.

"Because the plants around here are not ordinary oleander trees, but spiritual-grade first-grade peach trees called 'Spirit oleander'."

"Although this tree is a peach tree, it only blooms and never bears fruit. No matter whether it is midsummer or cold winter, the peach blossoms are always invincible, and the flowering period does not last."

Speaking of this, Xu Ze paused, then smiled slightly.

Although others don't know what he is going to say next, Gu Wanqing, who is a bystander, still remembers it fresh.

Either affected by the atmosphere, or no matter how difficult it is to suppress the emotions in her heart, Gu Wanqing also looked at the surrounding bamboo and peach forest.

next moment.

Her lips parted slightly, her voice coincided with that of Xu Ze in the picture.

"Flowers are love, fruits are meaning."

"From then on, I, Xu Ze, would like to stay with my wife and stay here for hundreds or thousands of years."

"Just to wait for the flower to fall, to wait for the fruit."
