After hearing her words, Gu Hesheng opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but when he opened his mouth, no word came out.
He looked dazed and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Seeing him like this, Qiao Nai stopped talking to him and turned around to signal to them.
Zhang You then remembered that she was bargaining with the boss before being interrupted.
While the boss was still not reacting, she bought the package of materials at a low price.
She quickly paid the bill, picked up her things and ran away with Qiao Nai.
The boss looked at their figures that had already gone away, and finally came to his senses and realized that he had lost money. He was regretting it deeply.
It turns out that watching the fun will bring bad things!
There is no need to watch this boring fun!
The boss cursed and vented his anger on Gu Hesheng, who looked like a decent person.
It was the first time he encountered such a scoundrel businessman. He was at a loss as to what to do with the crowd and his face turned red with anxiety.
He hesitated and finally failed to find a solution, so he paid the difference out of his own pocket.
The merchant didn't expect that this man was so thin-skinned. He paid the money after just a few words to him. He took the silver with a smile on his face, but still told him rudely not to do such bad business again.
Only then was Gu Hesheng able to escape from that dangerous place.
He came alone.
When he first learned that Qiao Nai had fallen off a cliff and her body had been found, he went crazy and investigated the truth day and night in order to find her.
He searched at the bottom of the cliff for several days but found no clues.
They all said that her body had been eaten by wild animals in the mountains, but he didn't believe it.
How could she die?
Before going out in the morning, she would sit by the window and put on her makeup gently. Before he went to court, she would help him dress and said she would wait for him to come home.
How could he die?
They all stopped him from going crazy.
He was confined to their bedroom, unable to leave the house to see her or work.
He looked at the place where they had once shared joys and sorrows, feeling depressed for a long time...
Later, his mother threatened to commit suicide, and he finally cheered up and was able to go to work. However, he could only go to court and work in a daze, like a walking corpse without a soul.
It was then that he realized that he had fallen deeply in love with his wife a long time ago.
Every day when I return home and look at that place full of memories, I would picture her appearance in my mind over and over again.
He was unwilling to let the matter go like this, so he began to investigate her affairs secretly.
It was then that he realized how much he had neglected her.
On the second day after their marriage, he and she served tea to their parents. However, his mother, who had a kind memory, talked about her deceased parents behind their backs, implicitly blaming her for having no upbringing, and mocking Prince Qiao and Princess Qiao, saying that they would still be stationed at the border to serve as the emperor's vanguard.
She contradicted his mother and was punished to kneel for the whole morning.
After serving tea that day, he hurried out of the house to handle official business. When he returned, she had already gone to bed. He thought she was just tired the night before, but he didn't expect that she had knelt for too long, which had aggravated an old injury, so she took medicine and went to bed early.
There was clearly a smell of medicine in the room, but he hadn't thought about it, which led to them hurting her even more severely later...
In the autumn of the year after their marriage, the Earl's Mansion held a chrysanthemum viewing party, and they attended together.
In the memory, they were praised by others for their talent and beauty because they wrote a poem together, but they didn't expect that behind her back, they both looked down on her status.
The Qiao family has fallen, and as an orphan without a father or a mother, what qualifications does she have to stand with them?
His cousin, along with her little sisters, bullied her in a corner of the party.
And what was he doing at that time?
He was discussing poetry with his colleagues.
After the banquet that day, he was dragged by his colleagues to the tavern for another drink.
He just told her coldly to go back home by herself.
Somewhere he didn't know.
She was deliberately abandoned in the wilderness by her cousin. Although it was her carriage, it was forcibly taken over by Chen Ping, leaving Qiao Nai to find a way to return home on his own.
That evening, the sky turned gloomy and it was unclear when it would rain.
Qiao Nai and A Wu didn't know how long they had been walking. They just wanted to return home as soon as possible before it rained.
However, as they walked back to the Gu Mansion in a panic, the doorman stopped her according to Chen Ping's command and did not let her in.
Those servants could also make fun of her identity.
Because they all thought that he didn't care about his wife, otherwise he wouldn't let her walk back home.
They laughed at her embarrassment, discriminated against her lack of favor, and even insulted her...
That day, she sat by the wall next to the Gu Mansion for a very long time.
I wonder if she was waiting for him to come, waiting for him to save her from danger...
When he was drunk and was supported by the servant back to his room, he did not see her.
The servant exaggerated and said that the lady didn't want to go back home and didn't know where she had gone. She probably didn't like the Gu Mansion.
That word of displeasure hurt his self-esteem.
He became inexplicably angry and smashed things in the house, shouting: "If she doesn't come back, then she won't come back! I wonder how long she can hide!"
After venting his anger, he fell asleep peacefully.
Sleep till dawn.
He looked at the empty bed and slowly recalled that Qiao Nai had not returned home all night.
He was a little panicked.
He immediately asked everyone from Chen Ping to the doorman, and everyone told him that Qiao Nai didn't want to go back home and didn't know where he had gone.
He hurried out of the house to look for her, even at the cost of reporting to the Ministry of Chancellery.
When he searched for her frantically for a long time and finally heard that she had returned to Prince Qiao's Mansion, anger surged in his heart again.
But he held back and didn't lose his temper. At that time, he was just concerned that they were in Prince Qiao's mansion after all. If he lost his temper, someone would report it to Prince Qiao.
In order to avoid trouble, he endured his anger and did not lose it, but he did not smile either and kept giving her a cold look.
Sitting in the carriage on the way back home, he asked her coldly why she did things so recklessly?
At that time, she just looked at him calmly, but he didn't even glance at her.
After a long time, she lowered her head and looked very lonely.
She apologized softly.
Then there was no conversation along the way.
When they arrived at the gate of the mansion and were about to get off the car, she stopped him and asked him a question in a low voice.
"Gu Hesheng, why do you want to marry me?"
He frowned, just wanting to end the topic quickly and rush to the Secretariat.
He said impatiently, "Of course it's because of my parents' orders and the matchmaker's words."
"Is it just because of the marriage arranged by our parents?"
"nature."
Before he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to force her out of the carriage and then rushed to the Ministry of Chancellery.
Therefore, he didn't see Qiao Nai after he got off the carriage. When he looked at his back as the carriage left, his eyes had lost a lot of meaning...
