Chapter 71 Chapter 71 "I'm sorry." [Additional]...
==Chapter 71==
That night, there was a knock on Feng Wenyu's courtyard door. At that time, Feng Wenyu was flipping through a book. When she heard the knock on the door, her heart suddenly jumped. She had an inexplicable premonition, as if she had guessed who was knocking on the door.
She leaned against the window, and when she saw Shuyao looking back at her with an expression as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, she pursed her lips, put down the book, and stood up.
Jinshu and Shuyao both retreated tactfully.
When he saw the person in front of him clearly, Feng Wenyu's eyes were complicated: "Why are you here?"
Gu Yushi was exhausted and hadn't even changed his clothes. He pursed his dry lips and said:
"I told you I'd come back to you as soon as possible."
Feng Wenyu's eyes trembled involuntarily. She was very distracted by Gu Yushi. She didn't look at him:
"Now that you've returned safely, you should rest well instead of coming to see me."
Gu Yushi lowered his eyes and looked at her: "But I want to see you."
Feng Wenyu suddenly raised his voice slightly:
"Gu Shao regrets!"
She slowed her voice again, her tone brooking no room for argument. While admonishing Gu Yu, she was also admonishing herself. She said, "Be careful."
She had vaguely sensed that there might have been a misunderstanding between the two of them in their previous life, but regardless of whether it was a misunderstanding or not, the damage had already been done, the situation had become what it was now, and the relationship between the two had involved a third person, so no one could turn back.
Moderation.
When Gu Yushi heard this word, his heart felt as if it was being tortured. He murmured these two words softly: "Proportion?"
Feng Wenyu looked up and saw the self-deprecating look on his face. His breathing suddenly became lighter and his face turned a little pale.
Scenes from her past life came to her mind. To Gu Yushi, all her interactions with Shen Jingchen might have been inappropriate.
Her face was pale and she looked a little disheveled.
Feng Wenyu straightened her back, turned her head, and said in a tough tone:
"Our relationship isn't what it used to be. Don't say these things again in the future, or you'll cause misunderstandings."
The surroundings became somewhat dead silent. It was clearly Feng Wenyu who said these words, but she felt as if she could hardly breathe.
When Feng Wenyu was about to lose control and flee, Gu Yushi suddenly asked her a question: "When you were in frequent contact with him, did you ever think that I would misunderstand you?"
Gu Yushi didn't say who this "he" was, but both of them knew it.
Feng Wenyu was speechless for a moment. Has she ever thought about it?
Yes.
When you are angry.
At first, she did take care of Shen Jingchen with the simplest intention of repaying a favor. In addition, with Qiao Anyu's entrustment, she felt that she had a responsibility and her heart was clear, so she never felt guilty.
Later, their relationship reached a freezing point. She once thought of using Shen Jingchen to stimulate him, but she soon realized the absurdity of this approach.
Doing this would be unfair to Shen Jingchen, to her previous relationship with Gu Yushi, and even more unfair to herself.
She quickly gave up the idea.
Therefore, even when Shen Jingchen came to her house at last, she was just confused as to why Shen Jingchen came to her house suddenly, without any intention of hiding her guilt.
From the beginning to the end, she never minded letting Gu Yushi know about Shen Jingchen's existence.
But Gu Yushi's question reminded Feng Wenyu of the question he had asked in her previous life, "Enter the house." Her chest seemed to hold back her breath, and she couldn't help but say:
"There's nothing wrong between him and me, and I've never felt guilty."
"What now?"
Feng Wenyu was stunned: "What?"
Gu Yushi took a step forward, approaching her and looking directly into her eyes, unwilling to miss any of her emotional changes:
"You were clear-minded then, so you weren't afraid of my misunderstanding. Why are you worried about others misunderstanding you now?"
Feng Wenyu was forced to take a step back. She hastily looked up at Gu Yushi and heard Gu Yushi's words clearly:
"Is it because I care about him too much and don't want him to have any trouble, or is it because there's nothing innocent between you and me?"
——There is nothing innocent between you and me.
Feng Wenyu's heart trembled violently. She was forced to retreat step by step and had no way to answer this question.
They have known each other for fifteen years, been married for twelve years, and have slept in the same bed every day. How can they be innocent?
She is a human being, not a Buddha statue enshrined in the Golden Temple. How can she cut off all feelings and love immediately?
Seeing him step into the threshold step by step, Feng Wenyu couldn't help but raise his voice a little:
"Gu Shaohui! Are you crazy?"
She felt that Gu Yushi was being unreasonable and unreasonable. She said with trembling lips, "How can the relationship between you and me be the same as his?"
How can these two things be compared?
It turned out that Gu Yushi seemed to be crazy, only listening to the part he wanted to hear:
"You see, you and I are different from others."
Feng Wenyu was speechless. She stared in disbelief, a little furious: "You!"
Is this reasonable?
She said without thinking: "I'm already engaged, what's the difference between your current behavior and the Shen Jingchen you despised in the past?"
The two of them have been married for twelve years and they both know each other's pain points.
Gu Yushi's face suddenly lost all color, and his thin and frail figure swayed slightly. After a long moment, he said in a hoarse voice:
"So, what should I do to redeem myself?"
There was a noticeable dark tint in his eyes, and it was obvious that he had not had a good rest in the past few days. Now he lowered his head and asked her humbly how to make amends.
Feng Wenyu's nose felt a little sour. She didn't understand: "Why do you have to dwell on the past?"
Her eyes were red:
"It's already happened again, can't you just let it go?"
As soon as she finished speaking, someone answered her: "I can't let it go."
His eyes were a little red, and when the tears fell, he turned his head away.
Feng Wenyu was stunned.
She rarely saw him cry. Except for their wedding and her miscarriage, she had almost never seen him cry.
Someone said: "I have thought about it, I will not bother you anymore."
Just watch quietly, guard quietly, at least it won't cause any more embarrassment.
But--
His voice was a little blocked and hoarse: "Ayu, I can't do it."
Just the thought of her marrying someone else was enough to make him feel heartbroken, and he couldn't bear to witness that scene.
He said, "I'm sorry."
It was clearly he who created this situation, yet he still wanted to disturb her.
If he had heard what he said before, Feng Wenyu could still remain calm, but the last sentence made Feng Wenyu completely stunned.
He was apologizing to her.
Feng Wenyu's heart ached so much that she could hardly breathe.
She suddenly remembered that when she had a miscarriage, he was clearly the one who was most seriously injured and almost lost his life, but he had to apologize to her over and over again. It was impossible to tell whose blood the snow and the hem of his clothes belonged to.
Feng Wenyu couldn't bear to recall it, nor could he bear to see this scene.
She almost ran away, turned around quickly and left, hurried back to the yard.
Feng Wenzhou rushed over as soon as he got the news.
As soon as he came in, he saw Gu Yushi standing there, like a wet dog that had lost its home. In short, Feng Wenzhou was very displeased with him. He said in annoyance:
"Hey, there should be a limit to playing the victim."
Gu Yushi turned around to look at him, and Feng Wenzhou noticed that his eyes were a little red. Guessing something, Feng Wenzhou frowned, but was not surprised.
He was too lazy to care about Gu Yushi's emotions.
So what if I cry?
Feng Wenzhou didn't want to give any eye contact at all, but he felt a tightness in his heart, which made him very uncomfortable.
He was almost annoyed to death by Gu Yushi.
If you feel sad, can't you just hide away and feel sad? Why do you have to provoke his sister?
He cursed in his heart that they were all bad people, and then, when he looked at Gu Yu, his eyes became even colder.
Gu Yushi also looked at him and said only one sentence:
"Thank you, Zhu Jing, no."
Feng Wenzhou frowned, not taking this statement lightly. Thinking of Xie Zhujing and A'mei's marriage, his eyes grew colder. "What do you mean by this? Explain it clearly."
Gu Yushi's voice was calm, a little hoarse:
"He has no father and no mother, but he is not alone."
Feng Wenzhou heard something. Since he was engaged to Xie Zhujing, the Minister's Office must have investigated all his relationships. He was a little suspicious:
"If I remember correctly, his only living relative is a cousin from his maternal uncle's family, and she's already married."
Gu Yushi dropped a piece of news: "Not long ago, his cousin returned home after losing her husband."
Feng Wenzhou's face darkened slightly: "In my opinion, Xie Yuzhi is not a man who values friendship and loyalty."
"But he values his biological mother."
Both lost their fathers at a young age, but Xie Zhujing's situation was completely different from his. He had no brothers and no family expectations weighing on his shoulders. His mother Xie raised him alone and suffered a lot during that time, not to mention that she also paid for his education later.
It can be said that the person Xie Zhujing cares about most is his mother.
However, after he passed the provincial examination, Xie's mother passed away. The son wanted to support his parents but they were no longer around. This was also the reason why Xie Zhujing remained silent for several years after the provincial examination.
Xie Zhujing's childhood experiences shaped his character.
His uncle's family was also an important reason why Xie's mother was able to provide Xie Zhujing with the opportunity to study.
Gu Yushi looked up and locked eyes with Feng Wenzhou. He pointed out the problem: "He will love the whole family and everyone in it. That's enough."
Feng Wenzhou's eyes were completely cold:
"You mean, his cousin will influence my sister?"
Gu Yushi didn't say anything else.
In his previous life, Xie Zhujing's cousin came to the capital to seek refuge with him.
He had said from the beginning that even if it wasn't him, Xie Zhujing wouldn't be suitable to be Feng Wenyu.
Inside, Jinshu and Shuyao hurried in to serve. Seeing their daughter sitting there, Jinshu called out worriedly, "Daughter?"
Feng Wenyu suddenly came back to her senses. She tilted her head, wiped the tears from her face, and murmured in a muffled voice:
"What about him?"
Jinshu and Shuyao looked at each other and said, "He was taken away by the Second Young Master."
Second brother?
Feng Wenyu pursed her lips and subconsciously glanced toward the courtyard gate from the window.
At the same time in the capital, the Xie family also welcomed a guest.
The guests arrived in a simple carriage. Someone got out and knocked on the door. The doorman peeked out and saw a woman in white. She seemed to be observing mourning period. She looked weak and tired, and there seemed to be tears in the corners of her eyes.
The gatekeeper looked puzzled. Seeing the woman's bun, he couldn't help but ask:
"Madam, who are you looking for?"
The woman couldn't help but timidly look up at the plaque above her head. The sun was very strong today and a little dazzling. The plaque was hung very high, so high that it seemed out of reach for her.
She felt a little uneasy and awkward, trying hard to keep her breathing steady.
"I'm from Linzhou City, my last name is Meng, and I'm a cousin of Mr. Xie from the mansion. Please let him know."
The doorman was stunned.
Your cousin?
"But the master is not at home."
Meng Qiaojing didn't dare to ask whether it was true or not when she heard it, and only said anxiously, "Then, I'll wait for my cousin here."
