Chapter 572: The Exiled Female Prisoner with Two Deadly Deaths (7)
"Now that you know, what do you think?" Gong Liangxian sighed and asked Gong Liangsibai.
Gong Liang said with a complicated expression: "I don't know..."
Gong Liangxian glanced at his brother and said, "Since your sister-in-law married you, you ran away from home on the second day of your wedding. Later, you were implicated by our family and exiled with her. Now you are still pregnant and on the way to exile... So no matter how you look at it, you and our Gongliang family are very sorry for her. No matter what happens in the future, I hope you will not let her down."
Gong Liang opened his mouth, wanting to say that he did not marry her voluntarily, nor did he intend to make her pregnant, but things had already happened, so what difference did he make if he denied it?
The smiling face of the girl he liked appeared in his mind, and slowly the melancholy and sadness in his heart came out little by little, more and more, as if to drown him and make him breathless. He had realized that no matter what happened to him in the future, it had nothing to do with the girl he liked. They were destined not to be together, and as a man who already had a wife and would have children soon, he had to shoulder the responsibilities on his shoulders.
"Brother, I understand." Gong Liangsubai suppressed the uncontrollable pain in his heart and said to Gong Liangxian in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry to Lan... I will live a good life with her in the future... If there is a future..."
Gong Liangxian saw his younger brother's ugly face and patted him on the shoulder. His younger brother used to be unruly and unruly, but his parents doted on him. Except for his marriage which was not what he wanted, his parents indulged him in everything else. This made him develop a willful and reckless character. Fortunately, he had a good nature and was not spoiled into a lawless person who bullied others.
However, after experiencing this catastrophe at home, he seemed to have grown up and matured all of a sudden, becoming steady and taciturn. The depth and strategy he showed in protecting his family's exile made Gong Liangxian very pleased. But when he thought that this change came at the cost of such a tragic thing, Gong Liangxian felt a little distressed. If there had not been this disaster, his brother could continue to be a carefree child of a noble family.
"You should comfort your sister-in-law quietly in private. If she knew you followed her in disguise, she would definitely be very happy. If she is happy, her body will be better and the baby in her belly will be healthier." Gong Liangxian reminded Gong Liangsubai.
"I will." Gong Liangsubai nodded. He also had this plan, but he didn't think Lan Shichu would be happy after seeing him. He didn't know anything about this wife. Before getting married, he only heard his mother say that Lan was well-educated, gentle and virtuous, and a good candidate for a good wife and mother. Gong Liangsubai's mind automatically emerged with those very boring ladies who even the curvature of their smiles and the size of their walking steps were exactly the same. He didn't like these boring and wooden girls. He preferred lively, cute, strong and independent girls - just like his sweetheart.
Gong Liang suddenly realized that he was thinking about something he shouldn't be thinking about, so he quickly pulled himself back to his thoughts and said to Gong Liangxian, "Then, big brother, I'm leaving first."
Gong Liangxian nodded, and the two brothers quietly separated.
Lan Shichu felt that familiar gaze on her again. These days, Gong Liangsubai would come to spy on her in the middle of the night from time to time. She was wary in the beginning, but gradually got used to it. Now she can continue to sleep, but she is still on guard. After all, who knows if Gong Liangsubai will feel that she is a nuisance one day and want to get rid of her to make room for his sweetheart?
"Lan..." Gong Liang shook Lan Shichu's body. Lan Shichu didn't know why he chose to wake her up this time, but this didn't prevent her from having a "panic reaction" when she found a "strange man" in front of her after waking up. After she was woken up and saw the person in front of her, she immediately took out the sharp stone she used for self-defense and smashed it hard at the man's face: "What do you want to do? Get out, get out!"
Gong Liangsubai didn't expect her to react like this, but he soon realized that Lan Shichu misunderstood him as a gangster who secretly wanted to defile the female prisoner, so he quickly blocked Lan Shichu's move to hit him and whispered to her: "Don't be afraid! I am Gong Liangsubai..."
Lan Shichu seemed to be so frightened that she didn't hear his words clearly and continued to struggle and resist. But in fact, she just wanted to take the opportunity to beat up the stinky man who made her pregnant and vent her anger for the hard work of traveling with a big belly.
Gong Liangsibai had no other choice. He was afraid that the noise made by the two would wake up the female prisoners around them, so he had to go all out and simply hugged Lan Shichu around the waist and carried her out using his Qigong skills.
He waited until they were in a safe place with no one around before putting her down. But fearing that she would scream, he had to cover her mouth and said, "Don't be afraid. I'm really Gong Liang Sibai! I'm disguised as the manager of the caravan. I didn't tell you before because I was afraid you would be exposed..."
Gong Liang Subai explained a lot to Lan Shichu carefully, and even took out the jade pendant to prove that he was really Gong Liang Subai and not a fake person.
Lan Shichu had tormented him enough that she naturally "recognized" that the man in front of her was really her "husband".
"So you are really Gong Liang Si Bai." Lan Shichu asked expressionlessly, "Since you didn't reveal your identity to me before, why did you reveal it now?"
Gong Liang was choked. This question was really sharp, so he had to answer honestly: "Because my brother told me that you are pregnant." As he said that, he looked at Lan Shichu's slightly bulging belly.
Lan Shichu smiled sarcastically: "So that's how it is. So what if you knew I was pregnant? Can you rescue me or let me travel without shackles?"
"..." Gong Liangsubai was speechless. He had no way of achieving these two things for the time being. Seeing the mocking look on Lan Shichu's face, he felt even more guilty.
"Since you can't do that, what's the point of you revealing your identity to me?" Lan Shichu sneered, "Do you want me to be moved to tears and say: Husband, you actually disguised your identity and secretly escorted us on the road. You are such a great man. I am so moved?"
Gong Liang Sibai suddenly felt his face flushed with shame. As a member of the Gong Liang family, he had good food and drink every day, and he could even ride a horse without having to walk. However, his elderly and frail parents, his elder brother and sister-in-law, his young nephews and nieces, and his pregnant wife were all lacking in food and clothing, and had to drag their heavy bodies for such a long distance every day... So how could he have the face to appear in front of his family? Just because he could secretly send some dry food and medicine, he was moved?
