Chapter 47 Discovering Each Other's Little Secrets
Suddenly, I paused. Why was I so obedient? Why did I just… change my clothes right away? And, the clothes were already neatly folded on the bed?
Chang Xixi had known for a long time that he went out in the middle of the night? Or... had she already known the secret he was hiding?
"Why are you standing there in a daze? The water is here, go wash yourself first."
"good."
Gu Rongyu thought about it over and over again, but he never thought that she really knew his secret. Those who knew about this matter back then had long since died or fled, all dead!
He smiled with relief and took the handkerchief from Chang Xixi's hand.
Chang Xixi said casually: "When I woke up at night and saw that you were not there, I knew you were out. Maybe you couldn't sleep, so you went out. Next time you go out so late, don't hide it from me."
"You, you know everything?"
"Yes." Chang Xixi didn't want to hide it. Since everyone had secrets, they could make some rules and not touch upon them, and then they could live in peace.
"good."
Gu Rongyu's sickly look had long since disappeared, and now all that appeared in her eyes was an overly handsome face. Whenever she was glanced at by those eyes, her heart would involuntarily pause for a moment. Oh no, could it be that she had fallen in love with her husband?
No, impossible!
How is this possible! Chang Xixi shook her head, "After you change, go to the study to study. It's time for breakfast, I'll call you. By the way, you can go out at night, but don't let your body get hurt again. I don't want to be a widow at such a young age."
Gu Rongyu felt happy when he heard this.
Qingnan got goosebumps when she saw the young master's expression. They hadn't even consummated their marriage yet! If they had, that would be terrible. He would have to be around Chang Xixi all day long. What revenge would he have to take?
Oh, beauty is harmful!
As he sighed and lit the fire, he, the killer who had killed countless people and was unforgivable, began to wash his hands and make soup.
Chang Xixi put down the rice and was about to go out to Dou's house. She hadn't told Dou about the second house yet!
The second brother, Chang Hai, came over with a cane and a basket of eggs in his hand. When he saw Chang Xixi, he smiled and said, "Now, Xixi has made progress."
"Brother, are you mocking me? Xixi, it's all thanks to you that I'm where I am today. If it weren't for you and mother, I would have gone to hell long ago. So, what are you doing here so early?"
"Mom said you've been working hard lately, so she asked me to bring you some eggs. I can't bear to eat even a little of this, so she asked me to bring them all to you."
Chang Xixi was both happy and surprised. She had thought that the Dou family would become arrogant and domineering just because she had money and fame, or that they would try to curry favor with the rich and powerful like the Li family. She had never expected that her family would still treat her well as always.
I hurriedly took the eggs and asked my second brother to stay for dinner.
The second brother said that his family had bought a cow and he was going to drive a bullock cart to do business, using the money she gave him.
It’s not a good thing to always stay idle at home. You have to find something to do.
Chang Xixi thought it was great. It was normal for this family not to discriminate against the poor or favor the rich, and to do what they could. In fact, it was normal for this family. In the past, they always thought that good people didn't live long, but now she thinks that's bullshit.
Good people will enjoy happiness.
Chang Xixi immediately asked Qingnan to send her second brother home. Even though he had difficulty walking, he still had to walk such a long distance. She also understood Dou's painstaking efforts.
In order to let my second brother exercise his legs which had been paralyzed for many years, I had to make up my mind to let him walk more.
Qingnan walked to a place where no one could see her and carried Chang Hai on his back. "Hold on tight and close your eyes."
Chang Hai didn't know what Qingnan would do, so he closed his eyes as he was told. He only heard the whistling of the wind in his ears. After a while, he felt the ground fall to the ground, and when he opened his eyes, he was already at the door.
"Don't tell anyone else!"
"Okay, okay."
He just thought that the girl had made money and hired some capable people to be around her, so he didn't think it was surprising and had to hide it for Xixi.
Qingnan went back happily. To avoid Chang Xixi's suspicion, he deliberately sat on the roof for a long time.
Gu Rongyu was reading in the study when he felt the presence on the roof and knew he had returned. He called out with his inner strength, "If you have the time to spare, why don't you go help in the kitchen?"
"Yes." Qingnan rolled down from the roof and walked in through the main door. He kept muttering in his heart that he really had a wife but no subordinates.
Gu Rongyu rarely scolded his subordinates, "If you keep mumbling, I'll chop you up and feed you to the fish."
Qingnan didn't dare to complain anymore and went to the kitchen to help. Unexpectedly, Chang Xixi had already prepared the meal. He only needed to stretch out his hand and put it on the table.
…
The teahouse was still bustling with people coming in one after another, most of them were dignitaries, and some even came from the neighboring county, just to catch a glimpse of Chang Xixi's beauty.
She was seen with a scarf covering her face. When people asked her about it, she said, "My husband really doesn't like me to show my face in public, so I'm covering my face with a scarf. I hope you won't mind."
"No wonder! But Mr. Chang doesn't dislike those old customs and traditions. Why do you like them today?"
Chang Xixi changed her posture while sitting on the red-painted stool. "I still don't like it, but since my husband doesn't like it, I have no choice but to follow his lead."
"Haha, they say heroes have always been tempted by beautiful women. I think you can't get over the beauty either."
The people in the audience and on the second floor burst into laughter.
Chang Xixi also laughed, "Even monks can't escape the mundane world, let alone me. No matter how knowledgeable I am, I still have to eat and go to the toilet."
Her words made everyone laugh again, but they made sense.
Today, no one came to the arena to compete with her. This can't go on! The money seems to be less, but there are still many people drinking tea and entertaining themselves.
In the study.
Chang Xixi was taking a break when she saw the books given by the old master. She called Gu Rongyu over and threw all the books to him, "Take them and read them. Everything you want is here."
Gu Rongyu looked at the title of the book, then opened it and saw that the handwriting of the annotation was clearly that of the old man!
As expected, he gave a low laugh, put down the book in his hand, and unconsciously grabbed Chang Xixi's book. A trace of astonishment flashed in the latter's eyes, "You, what are you doing?"
"Madam, shouldn't you also tell me about your relationship with the old master? This is not something that ordinary people can get from him. I've noticed that the content of your recent classes overlaps with the old master's."
"How...how did you find out?" Chang Xixi pulled her hand back in panic, a suspicious blush crossed her cheeks, and she lowered her head.
The small soft thing in his hand brushed across his palm, causing his heart to itch. He inexplicably wanted more, like pulling the person into his arms or something.
"My wife didn't even try to hide it, so ordinary people wouldn't be able to see it. But I know... this handwriting belongs to the old master."
Gu Rongyu turned the page of the book and said.
