pampering wife

Chapter 104

Ever since she was a child, she had been looking forward to the day when her father's unjust case would be vindicated, but now that Gu Shangshu mentioned this truthfully, Qingmei's heart was slightly shaken—is she really going to give up the chance to reverse the case for her father because of her own selfishness?

What would happen if she continued to refuse?But if she really followed Gu Shangshu's arrangement, what would be the result?Her heart seemed to be a mess twisted into knots, and Qingmei stood for a long time without knowing how to answer.

Seeing her in such a state, Gu Shangshu naturally understood that she had been moved by her words, and said, "Think about this matter carefully, and come to me when you understand." He called Gu Changqing in and told him a few things, and then asked him to accompany Qingmei Go to Liufangtang.

After leaving Hanjintang, Qingmei didn't go to the inner courtyard, but raised her head and said to Gu Changqing: "Second brother, I'll go back first." Her complexion was very bad, as if she was struggling in her heart. People are a little distracted when they walk.Gu Changqing couldn't help worrying: "What's the matter, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Qingmei shook her head, stubbornly refused to speak, and Gu Changqing didn't force it, "Then I'll send someone to take you back."

"No, I walked over by myself, just to relax." She saluted and said goodbye to Gu Changqing, and left the Gu residence absent-mindedly.When Gu Changqing looked at her in the future, how could he really feel at ease?He wanted to accompany her back home, but Qingmei's behavior was caused by his father, and his company would only make her more upset.

After a little hesitation, he followed behind Qingmei and watched from a distance.

There are quite a few walks from Gu's Mansion to Huazhi Lane, although Qingmei speaks absent-mindedly, she knows how to avoid pedestrians and horses when walking.She just walked along the bluestone slabs by the roadside, and occasionally raised her arms to stroke the new and tender willow branches, but she passed by without even turning her head.

After finally reaching the entrance of Huazhi Alley, Gu Changqing saw that she had arrived home safely, then turned around and strode back.

Qingmei was still distracted, and only came back to her senses when she saw Xu's concerned face, she didn't say anything, just slipped into Xu's arms, and hugged her tightly.Mrs. Xu was taken aback by her behavior, and thought Qingmei had encountered some serious incident, so she asked several times, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Qingmei replied sullenly in her arms, "Mother, you said that your parents are underground, how would you expect me to live?"

Xu stroked her back and said slowly: "Of course I hope you will be happy and happy forever."

"En." Qing Mei responded, and raised her head after a while, the confusion on her face had disappeared, she smiled at Xu Shi and said, "Mother, let's go and see the wine cellar." This abnormal appearance made her inexplicable, but seeing that she was unwilling to speak out, she had to suppress it temporarily.

In the past two days, Qingmei has been busy preparing for the tavern, which has diluted a lot of the melancholy that day, but at night when the night is quiet, she can't sleep, and her heart has been entangled.She put on some clothes and got up, Luzhu in the outer room was fast asleep, and Mrs. Xu next door had already gone to bed, she walked out of the courtyard door lightly, and sat down in the bamboo chair in the courtyard.

It's almost mid-spring, the weather is gradually warming up, and the nights are no longer as cold as before.The cool wind blew by, which made her mind clearer. Qingmei looked up at the stars in the sky, and remembered that when she was very young, Mrs. Xu often held her in her arms to look at the stars.

At that time, she was young and ignorant, and she always liked to ask where her parents were. Xu had no choice but to coax her by pointing at the stars.

"That one is madam, look, she is winking at you... that is the general, look how close he is to madam..."

Qingmei smiled, raised her arms unconsciously and pointed at the two stars, and murmured: "Father, what do you want your daughter to do?"

Is it for the sake of redressing the unjust case and going against my own heart, willing to be a pawn of the Gu family to marry into the Hou's mansion, or stick to my heart and cherish that relationship?Father and Marquis Wu An are very close, so this relationship is very precious in her heart.Because of this, she didn't want this relationship to be mixed with the Gu family's selfish desires and schemes.

What's more, as far as her selfishness is concerned...

"Be my princess?" Jun Li's voice echoed in his mind.That day I just thought it was unreal, but now that I think about it, the situation at that time was so real and clear, his voice, his embrace, his breath, and the faint fragrance of jade in the carriage, the birdsong outside the carriage and the distant Human language... everything is deeply engraved in my heart.

Qingmei sat there in a daze for no one knows how long, when she moved her eyes, she suddenly saw a dark shadow on the wall.

When the black shadow suddenly came into view, she was taken aback and opened her mouth to scream, but the black shadow didn't move as if she didn't intend to hurt anyone.Qingmei collected herself, looked over in detail, and saw the outline of the black shadow clearly through the moonlight——

His handsome facial features were shadowed by the moonlight, and he sat quietly on the wall with his tall and broad shoulders, like a god descending from the dark night.

"Jun... Li?" Qing Mei whispered his name in surprise.

Jun Li moved, jumped off the wall a few steps, walked up to her and smiled, "It's late at night, why are you in a daze?"

"Why are you here?" Qingmei remembered that he had just crowned King of England, so she wanted to get up and salute, but Junli pushed her into the chair, "I passed by here after finishing my work, and I just watched you for a while when I saw you in a daze." Junli Stretching out his fingers, he flicked her forehead, "Who are you thinking about, so engrossed."

It seems that just now... She was thinking about this person in front of her, right?Qingmei's complexion is reddish.
