One hundred and seven
Standing in the yard, Gu Shixing seemed to have noticed something and turned around.
The moment I saw my wife standing in front of the gate, it was as if some memories were overlapping.
It was originally a bright day, but in my memory, everything around me seemed to have turned into the darkness of night.
She was standing right where she was now, holding a lantern, with an impatient look on her face, as if to say - why are you here again? !
At this moment, Gu Shixing suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have encountered anything strange, but rather seemed to have forgotten many important things.
And now the things that seem familiar seem like they have happened before and like things I have experienced before.
He might have encountered something bizarre, or he might have lost some memory. No matter which one it was, he was at least sure that his wife knew something.
"Why did my husband come to this yard?"
Before he knew it, his wife had walked up to him.
Gu Shixing came back to his senses from his thoughts, looked at what was in front of him, and a complicated look appeared in his eyes, but all his doubts were not asked at this time.
One reason is that this place is not convenient to talk about.
Secondly, she should also be waiting. Once he has verified that the truth of the past is indeed as she said, she will also believe whatever she says, and she will tell him everything.
He said, "I just saw you haven't come out yet, so I walked around and ended up here." He looked around the yard and said casually, "It's strange. I've never been here before, but I feel like I've been here many times."
Su Yun also looked around the yard where the couple had met many times. Even after a lifetime, the feeling was different.
I was full of impatience then, but now all that remains is full of nostalgia.
"Perhaps my husband really came here, but he just forgot."
Hearing this, Gu Shixing glanced at her, pondered for a few breaths, and replied, "Maybe."
After a few moments of silence, he asked, "How is your wife's health?"
When talking about her mother, Su Yun's expression darkened and she shook her head slightly.
"I'll ask Doctor Fu to come and take another look at your little wife in a few days."
Su Yun nodded: "It's just that I'm a little troublesome to Doctor Fu."
Gu Shixing took two steps forward, walked to her side, and said, "Go and greet your father-in-law and mother-in-law, and then go back."
Su Yun nodded and followed him to the front yard to pay his respects.
Su Yun's stepmother and father treated her coldly, without any warmth at all, so after Su Yun paid her respects, she went back to the Marquis' Mansion with Gu Shixing.
When they returned to the Marquis' Mansion, the second and third uncles of the Gu family also came back.
The two brothers knew what happened in their sister-in-law's yard today, and they closed the door and argued with their wives.
Although the story of Aunt Gu was different from that of another life, the result was still the same: she was sent back to her parents' home.
After Aunt Gu and Uncle Gu had their quarrel, they ignored each other.
When Su Yun heard these things, she just shook her head and showed no interest in their affairs.
As the night deepened, Gu Shixing, who had gone to the Dali Temple to handle business, had not returned yet.
Su Yun leaned on the bed and looked at the empty house. Suddenly, she felt that the house where she had lived for many years suddenly became empty and a little cold.
He withdrew his gaze and was stunned for a while, thinking about the mother he saw today and the child who had been in her belly for about two months.
Thinking of this, Su Yun subconsciously touched her flat belly.
Finally, he sighed helplessly.
There are good days and bad days, but we still have to keep living.
She sat there for an unknown amount of time, and when she saw that Gu Shixing had not come back yet, she stopped waiting and lay down to rest.
She thought that if she fell asleep she would no longer be bothered by these worries.
*
Gu Shixing returned to the Marquis' Mansion before midnight, but did not go back to his room. Instead, he sat in the study for half the night.
After he found his second and third uncles, he went to the Dali Temple to try the woman who was taken away from the Su Mansion today, the woman named Liu Wuniang.
When he saw that woman, another memory came to his mind - in the Su Mansion, in Su Changqing's yard, a group of servants were standing in the yard being interrogated, and this woman was among them.
He took away her memory and had someone interrogate Liu Wuniang.
In just two hours, she confessed that she had been bribed a few years ago and someone had put drugs in Sixth Girl's soup.
After the Sixth Lady fell unconscious, another person carried her to the room where the love incense was burning. After their affair was discovered, she took advantage of the chaos to clean up the incense burner in the room to prevent anyone from discovering that there was something wrong with the remaining incense in the burner.
The moment he heard the woman's confession, Gu Shixing immediately realized that the captain was the other person the woman was talking about.
He went to the palace overnight and reported to the emperor, and then the guards arrested Zhao Yong.
He also interrogated Zhao Yong.
When interrogating Zhao Yong, before Zhao Yong confessed, he knew who was behind the scenes from the memory that suddenly emerged.
The subsequent tests, coupled with Zhao Yong's reaction, also confirmed that his memory was correct.
——The mastermind behind the plot against him and Su Yun four years ago was the eldest prince Li Ji.
Just because they were targeting him, they did such a despicable thing.
Su Yun was not only implicated by him, but also misunderstood and scolded for several years. She could not raise her head in the Su Mansion, the Marquis Mansion, or even in front of outsiders.
This incident even caused her mother to go crazy due to the shock she received.
No wonder her tone was so resolute when she said in the dream in the Begonia Courtyard that she would not repeat the same mistake and marry him.
No wonder she cried so miserably in the carriage on that snowy night.
Those memories came up silently and slowly, and then suddenly penetrated into his mind.
He didn't know how to face his wife who was implicated by him, so he returned to the Marquis' Mansion before midnight and has been sitting in the study ever since.
Sitting behind the desk, his body seemed to be frozen in place, staring motionlessly at the bamboo shadows swaying in the wind outside the window.
The flame of the oil lamp became smaller and smaller. When a breeze blew in and extinguished the last bit of the flame, the room suddenly became dark.
The moonlight shone into the study and fell on the desk. Gu Shixing sat at the junction of light and darkness, his eyes dark and unclear.
He was just thinking about how to face his wife when he returned to his room, and how he could make it up to her.
At some point, the only moonlight disappeared, the wind gradually picked up outside, and then an autumn night drizzle began to fall.
After a long time, it seemed to be the fifth watch, and servants began to move around outside.
Gu Shixing let out a light breath, then stood up from behind the desk.
After getting up, he walked out of the study room and walked directly into the drizzling rain.
He returned to the room, hesitated for a few breaths before slowly pushing open the door and walking into the room. His movements were gentle and did not wake up the people in the room at all.
He walked slowly into the inner room, went to the bedside, and lifted the curtain.
He sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at the person on it.
I don’t know what she dreamed about. Her brows were furrowed, her expression was painful, and she kept mumbling something in her sleep.
It seems to be mixed with words like - child, mother.
Gu Shixing was about to wake up Su Yun, who seemed to have a nightmare, but when he heard these two words, he hesitated and stopped.
He leaned down, put his ear close to her mouth, and listened carefully to her talking in her sleep.
And Su Yun did have a dream.
In her dream, she was in the small garden of the Marquis's mansion, but somehow there seemed to be a thick fog surrounding her. She only knew that she was in the small garden, but she couldn't see anything clearly.
At this moment, a babyish voice suddenly came from the fog, "Mom."
Su Yun's heart trembled, and he looked in the direction of the sound, but the front was shrouded in thick fog and he could not see anything clearly. He only vaguely saw a small figure in the fog.
Su Yun was anxious and ran towards that place. But after running over, there was another fog and nothing was there.
"Mother."
The soft voice sounded again, and Su Yun chased in the direction of the voice again.
She didn't know how long she chased him, but the child seemed to be deliberately hiding from her so that she couldn't find him.
Su Yun began to collapse. She felt that the child didn't want to see her because she abandoned him and came back to this life.
She collapsed on the ground, choking with sobs, "My child, it's not that your mother doesn't want you, but only by making this choice will your father be safe..."
"Don't blame mother. Can you come out and see mother?" There was a strong pleading tone in her voice.
The surroundings became quiet, and there was no more sound of children calling out.
The feeling of guilt came over her and Su Yun started crying.
But then she felt as if someone wiped away the tears from her eyes and whispered in her ear, "Don't cry."
Gu Shixing felt heavy-hearted when he heard what she said in her sleep.
What she had hidden from him didn't seem to make sense.
But when I saw that the corners of her eyes were wet with tears again, I couldn't help but wipe them away with my fingertips.
In the past few days, she cried more than in the past four years, or except for the two times he saw her cry before their marriage, he had never seen her cry again.
It can be seen how heavy the things that have been weighing on her mind these days are, and how suffocating they have made her feel.
She smiled more in front of him, but he could also feel that sadness was there too.
Su Yun felt something and gradually woke up from her dream. She half opened her eyes and looked at the person who was wiping her tears in a daze.
Maybe she was confused because of sleep, and her mind was a little hazy, so she couldn't tell what day it was. She stood up and hugged Gu Shixing, who was covered with water mist, and said in a trembling voice: "I dreamed of our child. He ignored me and he blamed me for not wanting him."
Gu Shixing was stunned for a moment, but then he hugged her, patting her back gently with his palms.
After a few breaths, perhaps the cool and moist breath from his body sobered Su Yun up a little. She gradually realized what she had just said, and did not rush to explain, but asked: "When did you come back?"
Gu Shixing replied: "I just returned to my room."
Su Yun thought he had just returned, so she didn't suspect anything.
She came out of his arms and looked at him in the dim light in the room: "Don't you have anything you want to ask me?"
Gu Shixing looked at the red corners of her eyes, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Today I went to the Dali Temple to interrogate Liu Wuniang, and then went to the palace to interrogate Zhao Yong."
"You know everything, including..." She hesitated, but still asked, "including who ordered it?"
Gu Shixing nodded: "Zhao Yong didn't make any moves, but I had some suspicions. When I deliberately mentioned that person, his reaction proved what I suspected."
Su Yun lowered her eyes and said softly, "Whatever you want to ask, I will tell you the truth."
Gu Shixing saw that she was not in a good state at the moment, and he was afraid that telling her these things at this time would only make her feel even more uncomfortable.
After thinking for a while, he said, "It's late at night, let's talk about it in the morning."
After saying this, he called her softly, "Ayun."
Su Yun raised her eyes to look at him, and saw the guilt on his face, and then she heard him say: "I'm sorry, I got you into trouble."
Hearing this, Su Yun knelt on the bed and leaned towards him, a little taller than him who was sitting. She held his face in her hands, lowered her eyes and looked into his dark eyes, a faint affection spreading and entwining the two of them.
She shook her head slightly: "You have already apologized to me and made it up to me, so you don't need to apologize to me again."
Su Yun looked into his eyes and suddenly smiled softly: "I thought about it."
There was some doubt in Gu Shixing's eyes, and he said "Hmm?", not knowing what was going on.
Su Yun's hands slowly stroked down from his cheeks, to his neck, broad shoulders, strong chest, and tight waist and abdomen.
When he went down further, Gu Shixing's body suddenly tensed up, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he immediately grabbed her hands.
He looked at her in surprise, as if he didn't expect she could be so bold.
Su Yun sat on his lap, whispered in his ear, and her breath was as sweet as orchid, faintly falling on his earlobe.
She repeated her words softly: "I thought..."
This time, Gu Shixing understood what she meant.
"Let go of my hand, please?" she asked softly.
He was silent for a while, and instinctively, he loosened his hold on her hands.
He could vaguely guess that he and his wife seemed to have had some kind of experience, but she still remembered it, while he had a vague memory.
But some absurd and beautiful memories are so clear.
He leaned his back against the bedpost and tilted his head slightly. The blue veins on his neck gradually became more prominent, as if he was suppressing something. Even his face gradually turned a suspicious red, and his breathing became heavier.
A feeling that is so familiar yet so strange. No matter whether it is familiar or strange, it makes people sink into it.
He had never known what ultimate bliss was before, but from the memories of the past two days and his current feelings, he finally understood it.
