Reborn Noble Daughter and First Wife

Chapter 262 A Sleepless Night

The cold night came again in a daze.

Gu Qinglian slept alone on the cold bed, her body curled up into a ball under the quilt.Listening to the cold wind blowing outside the window, a few dead trees swayed in the cold wind, taking advantage of the moonlight and snow light to reflect on the window to show shaking shadows, which looked extraordinarily weird.

Sad emotions slowly entered Gu Qinglian's heart, and her heart was covered with a thick layer of desolation.

Those chaotic days, empty memories, and everything before, Gu Qinglian can only regard it as a dream. There are deep feelings in the dream, endless torture and tears. Whether it is good or bad, it should be a dream now It's time to wake up.

After waking up from the dream, Gu Qinglian decided to be her true self.

There was a soft rustling outside, and the window sills were glowing white. It turned out that it was snowing.

Gu Qinglian slowly got up from the bed, put on a thick cloak, walked to the window, pushed it lightly, and the snowflakes were flying all over the sky, glowing with dots of light, shining through the entire night.

The moonlight is still so cold, trembling like a gravel, gently hitting the bottom of her heart, reflecting bits and pieces of past memories.The moon that night was as bright as it is today.She snuggled into Shen Congjia's arms, and stood in front of the window together, whispering intimately, feeling the love in each other's hearts. At that time, she thought that they would stay together happily like this.

The beauty is always short-lived, and the short ones are blocked by an invisible force before they can be savored carefully.

In front of the window, the two lovers who were originally in love, now only leave a solitary, lonely shadow of myself.

Looking at the desolate sky outside the window, thinking about the past and the present, Gu Qinglian couldn't help asking herself what she was after.

She gently stroked her lower abdomen with both hands. She didn't know what she was looking for in the past, but her pursuit seemed to become clear in the future.

She seemed to be able to feel that a little life was slowly being conceived and grown up, and her originally cold heart gradually warmed up.

Once, for so long, she had looked forward to and longed for it.In the past, so many countless days and nights of living together, she failed to get what she wanted, and she never had this opportunity.However, when their love was frozen and they had become strangers, the one and only time made her conceive his child.

Maybe God didn't want her to continue living in confusion, and gave her a gift, an extremely precious gift, when she was most desperate and helpless.

She will take her away, leave all the troubles, the world of mortals.

Outside the window, the piercing wind was still blowing, the goose feather-like snow was still falling, and it was deadly cold.

However, Gu Qinglian's heart was filled with spring-like warmth.

"Ma'am, why are you standing here? Be careful." Fang Xin came to Gu Qinglian with a candle and asked softly.

Gu Qinglian turned around gently, and smiled gratefully at Fangxin. "Xin'er, thank you!"

"Ma'am, thank me for what, aren't these what slaves should do."

Although Fangxin thought it was strange, how could Gu Qinglian thank her for being so well behaved, but she still smiled knowingly at her.

"Thank you for always being by my side." Gu Qinglian gently took her hand and said sincerely.

Seeing Gu Qinglian's sincere smile, Fangxin was also a little moved, touched her cold hands, and while helping her to rub her breath, she said warmly: "Ma'am, you treat me like a sister, and I have long regarded you in my heart. You are my relatives, and there is no thanks between relatives." As he spoke, he also smiled sincerely.

What is a friend in adversity? This is true love, the most precious feeling in the world.

A ray of comfort flowed into Gu Qinglian's heart.

"Xin'er, I have decided to give birth to a child."

"Really, ma'am? That's great." Fangxin was not surprised but delighted when she heard that.

"Yes. No matter how entangled love and hatred I have with Shen Congjia, the child is innocent. Since God gave him to me, I will use my life to love him."

"Madam, don't worry. Fangxin will definitely take good care of you and the young master."

"I'm sorry, Fangxin. I'm going to be selfish again. Originally, I wanted to choose a good husband for you and let you live a free and happy life. But now I want to keep you by my side and take care of you. Me and the child. You won't blame me, will you?"

"How could it be. Madam, don't talk about this, Xin'er is willing to accompany you and the young master." The master and servant smiled knowingly, "Madam, Tianhan, let's lie down and rest."

Fangxin carefully helped Gu Qinglian back to the bed, covered her with a brocade quilt, tucked her in, then extinguished the candle and went down to rest.

The room was not dark at all under the white snow outside the window. After Fangxin left, Gu Qinglian was still not sleepy. She lay on the bed, stretched out her hand, and stroked her slightly flat belly. She could already feel, There is a little life growing inside.However, what Gu Qinglian felt more at the moment was a burst of relief.

Her days finally had something to look forward to.God, after all, there is still no hope of killing her.Although, it's just an unborn child.However, Gu Qinglian will never be alone in the days to come.She has this child to accompany her, and she has a new direction in life.

She had already lost too much, and she couldn't even lose this last shred of hope.

Thinking of this, Gu Qinglian got up again and called out, "Xin'er."

Fangxin from the outside heard her call, and walked in again with a candle.

"Ma'am, what's the matter?"

"Xin'er, take the paper and the pen."

"It's so late, it's important for Madam to rest. If you want to write something, Xin'er will prepare it early tomorrow morning, is that okay?"

"Go get it."

Gu Qinglian knew that Fangxin was also thinking about her own body, but the important matter in her heart should be resolved as soon as possible.

Fangxin was laying paper beside her and grinding it. Although Gu Qinglian was full of thoughts when she picked up the pen, she seemed to have something to say in her heart, but she couldn't write a single word.

"Xin'er, go down and rest. Don't worry, I will go to rest after I finish writing."

Seeing that Fangxin couldn't be stubborn, she had to add a cloak for her and went down.

The dim candlelight reflected her figure on the wall, flickering flickeringly.The slender brush danced smoothly on the paper with the shaking of the wrist.

That night, not only Gu Qinglian couldn't sleep, but someone even more so.

In the study, the floor was scattered.Books, pens and inkstones, and countless balls of paper.Shen Congjia lay deeply on the table, holding a flagon in his hand.

When he came back at night, Shen Congjia angrily sent Xiao Xizi and Xiao Fuzi away, and he didn't allow anyone to approach his study.There were no earthworms, not even a small stove.The entire study room was as cold as an ice cellar.

Outside the door, Xiao Xizi led Liu Xu hurriedly towards the door of the study.

"Master, are you alone in there?"

"Yes. There is no fire in the study, and it's very cold. The young master doesn't allow anyone to enter. The younger one is also very worried, fearing that the young master will be frozen, so what should I do? That's why..."

"You're smart. If you're afraid of something going wrong, come and beg me, young master. You may not just listen to me."

"In the whole of Shen's house, there is no aunt who is unfair. Aunt, you will be troubled. Please persuade the young master. I will be grateful."

Hearing this, Liu Xu gave him an approving look as he walked, as expected of the young master's personal attendant, he was more flattering than others.

Walking to the door of the study, Xiao Xizi knocked on the door of the study tremblingly, and Liu Xu was waiting at the door, waiting for a sound to come from inside.

There was no response, and Liu Xu signaled Xiao Xizi to continue knocking on the door, once, twice... There was still no answer from inside, not even a sound.

"Break away!" Liu Xu ordered coldly.

Although Xiao Xizi was a little scared, but at this moment, compared to Shen Congjia, he was more afraid of Shen Congjia's accident. Hearing Liu Xu's order, he simply bravely slammed open the door of the study.He rushed in desperately, followed by Liu Xu.

In the dark room, at first, she could vaguely see things scattered on the ground, but after her eyes adjusted, Liu Xu could clearly see Shen Congjia, who was lying drunk on the ground, with a pile of messy things piled up around her.Books, paper balls, broken porcelain and some wine containers.The whole room was also filled with a strong smell of alcohol.The wine glass, wine jug, and wine jar, Shen Congjia just fell on the ground. The cold ground seemed to make him unconscious.On such a cold ground, he fell straight to the ground!

Perhaps, his heart is colder than the earth!
Seeing Shen Congjia's situation, Liu Xu felt both distressed and resentful.What hurts his heart is that he doesn't know how to cherish his body in such a cold weather.What is resentful is that in his heart, it is full of Gu Qinglian. It is his inability to forget her that ignites the endless anger in her heart.

Liu Xu just looked at him quietly like this, a slightly distorted smile appeared on her originally beautiful face, Gu Qinglian, you will have to pay the price.

Liu Xu indifferently ordered people to carry the unconscious Shen Congjia back to his room, "Remember to burn the ground dragon in the young master's room, and burn a few Tang Pozi. The young master is drunk on the ground, and he may catch the cold. Immediately order the kitchen to cook. I brought hot ginger soup to the young master's room."

Liu Xu followed people into Shen Congjia's inner room, and she ordered someone to fetch clean clothes for Shen Congjia to change before helping him to lie down, and carefully tucked the hot Tang Pozi at the young master's feet and hands.

"Auntie, take a look at this." A maid presented the things in her hand.

The sachet was not a valuable thing at all, but the little maid noticed that it was in Shen Congjia's hand when she was changing clothes, and she took some effort to take it out. Since it was held tightly by Shen Congjia, it meant that the sachet Stuff matters.The little maid was also considered clever, and she handed it directly into Liu Xu's hands.

Liu Xu glanced at it, picked it up casually, and wrote lightly: "Things that don't matter." Turning her head to the servants in the room, she said, "You all step back."

After retreating from the servants, Liu Xu took out the sachet and looked at it carefully, and inadvertently saw a word "Lotus" in the lower right corner, she just stared at it, and a raging flame gradually ignited in her eyes , as if to burn that sachet.

"Auntie."

A little servant girl brought a bowl of steaming ginger soup, saw Liu Xu staring at the sachet in her hand, and called softly.

Liu Xu regained consciousness, took the hot ginger soup handed over by the little maid, threw the sachet to her, and said coldly, "Throw it away."

Liu Xu carefully and quietly looked at the man lying on the bed, it was this man who haunted her, made her heart surge, and brought her endless neglect, pain and loneliness.However, in her heart she didn't hate him at all, in other words, she couldn't hate him.

She only hates Gu Qinglian now, she hates her existence.

Once, when her wishful thinking was sounding.But she was suddenly destroyed by Gu Qinglian. However, she also thinks that Gu Qinglian bestowed her on her current situation.She hated her, hated why she let the only man in her life think of her only in his heart.She hated her for stealing her initial happy life without making a fuss.

She knew that in Shen Congjia's heart, Gu Qinglian completely occupied his heart, but in a few days, she wanted Gu Qinglian to disappear, at least from his side.Since she couldn't get Shen Congjia's heart, she wanted to get his.

Liu Xu is such a person. From her heart, even if she only got Shen Congjia's person in the end, she still thinks that she won in the end.
