Chapter 388 Women can also be unfaithful under certain conditions
Four days passed.
It was almost sunset on the fifth day, and Mu Nanzhao still hadn't seen Gu Xixi at Xiao He's house.
He Jinghui leaned in the chair, a look of despair written on his face, and was forced to count the things on his fingers one by one.
"On the first day, I went to Ganyuju to inspect the store, and then went to the inn to visit Jiang Mingyuan. We closed the door and chatted for half the afternoon."
"We went shopping together the next day. I heard we were going to buy some gifts or local specialties to take home."
"On the third day, Jiang Mingyuan hosted them. They changed places a few times and basically played for the whole day."
He Jinghui paused and added, "During the above three days, Jiang Mingyuan and An Qinghe were there all the time, just like Gu Xixi's two generals."
"They were having so much fun, they went out at daybreak and didn't come back until curfew."
"So every time you finally have some free time and come to my place for personal gain, it happens that Boss Gu is not at home."
A layer of frost covered Mu Nanzhao's face. "Continue."
He Jinghui pursed his lips and said, "Then on the fourth day, we stayed at Ganyu Residence during the day and at night..."
He glanced at Mu Nanzhao's face and silently moved away. "In the evening... I went to the Shihua Pavilion."
Mu Nanzhao's eyes suddenly became sharp.
He still feels scared when he thinks about the last time Gu Xixi got drunk and obsessed with sex in the Shihua Pavilion.
But since He Jinghui didn't say it as a joke, there must be nothing wrong this time.
Mu Nanzhao quickly calmed down, "It's time to take care of your sister."
"It's not decent to entertain guests in such a smoky and foul place."
He Jinghui grinned, unable to suppress his smile, "Alas, you really blame the wrong person this time."
"I asked clearly, was it Boss Gu who suggested going to the Shihua Pavilion yesterday, or was it Boss Gu who paid the bill?"
"Oh, they ordered that gladiolus again."
"In addition to watching Boss Gu's favorite sword dance, Boss Gu also asked Jianlan to teach her a few sword moves."
Mu Nanzhao looked up suddenly, "She went to the Flower House to learn sword?"
The sound was forced out through gnashing teeth.
He Jinghui quickly put away his smile and said seriously, "That's right. I find it outrageous even when I hear it."
"Ignoring the sword expert at home, why do you spend money to go to the Flower House to find an actor?!"
"Isn't this Boss Gu always the one who is most opposed to wasting money?"
Mu Nanzhao's face has evolved from ashen blue and black as the bottom of a pot to the ultimate expressionless face.
As if he was an old monk who had attained enlightenment for many years.
"Then," he said calmly, "Why haven't they come back yet today?"
He Jinghui said, "It's still the Flower House."
"Before you came, the shopkeeper of Ganyuju helped to bring the letter."
"Jinglan said she might not be back tonight, so I didn't need to wait for them for dinner."
As he spoke, He Jinghui took out a piece of letter paper and handed it over.
The seemingly calm regent suddenly turned his head, his eyes sharp and threatening to kill someone.
"He Jinghui!"
He Jinghui immediately defended himself, "I wanted to say it earlier."
"You forced me to find out what Boss Gu has been busy with these days and then tell you everything."
"You are not sending anyone to follow Boss Gu, nor are you inquiring about her whereabouts. You are saying this as respect."
"You can't blame me if you missed the news."
Mu Nanzhao didn't even look at the note He Jinglan sent back and just stood up.
He Jinghui looked at him and said, "Wait a minute."
"You're not going to rush to the flower shop now, are you?"
"I spent so much effort to clean up the mess last time, you want to do it again?"
"If someone sees us again, the gossip about the Regent breaking into the Shihua Pavilion at night to catch an adulterer will become the most outrageous story in the capital!"
Mu Nanzhao turned to He Jinghui angrily with an unfriendly look.
He Jinghui waved his hands and begged for mercy, "Don't stare, I'm not saying anything bad about Boss Gu."
"Of course I know that Boss Gu is a serious man, not to mention Jinglan is here."
"They only do elegant things when they want to have fun."
"I mean rumors are more ferocious than tigers. They can make things sound like something that didn't happen."
"And you."
He Jinghui and Mu Nanzhao looked at each other, their expressions became serious, "Even if I let you go now, go find Boss Gu."
"Who are you to manage others?"
"You are not her biological father, nor her brother, nor her husband."
Mu Nanzhao was silent for a moment, then returned to the table and sat down.
He Jinghui had never seen him like this before, and felt a little bit sorry for him.
Then he tried to liven up the atmosphere, "Where has your coolness gone?"
"Could it be that when you went to the palace to pick up Boss Gu that day, she went berserk and did something to you?"
He smiled and poked Mu Nanzhao with his elbow, "Don't act like a resentful woman in the boudoir, chasing people and asking them to take responsibility."
He Jinghui was just joking, but when he caught a glimpse of Mu Nanzhao's expression out of the corner of his eye, he gradually couldn't laugh anymore.
"Hey, you're not."
"Did Boss Gu really abandon you?"
He Jinghui never thought that this word could be used to describe a woman towards a man.
But after meeting Gu Xixi, he had a new understanding.
If a woman has a strong mind, her abilities and wisdom will be no less than those of men.
Then she has every chance to imitate those unfaithful men.
Mu Nanzhao didn't answer him, he just stood up and walked away.
As soon as the moon rose, the lights in the study of the Regent's Palace were turned off early for the first time.
Mu Nanzhao lay on the hard couch by the window, staring blankly into the darkness.
That day, in the last corridor out of the palace, Gu Xixi kissed him without any warning.
Although she gave him a light kiss, she stopped and pulled away.
He admitted that he was so overwhelmed with emotion at the time that he couldn't control himself, so he wanted to kiss her immediately.
But Gu Xixi pushed him away, lowered her head and walked quickly towards the palace gate.
Then, until she got on He Jinglan's carriage, she didn't say another word or even look at him.
These days, whenever Mu Nanzhao had some free time, he couldn't help but wonder what she meant.
After listening to what He Jinghui said just now, Mu Nanzhao realized that he was the only one who had been troubled for days.
However, Gu Xixi looks for other men to play with every day, lingering in different flowers, and is very happy!
At this moment, Mu Nanzhao felt more and more that Gu Xixi had been avoiding him for the past five days.
So she did it on impulse?
Are you kidding?
still……
Did you regret it after you kissed me?
Mu Nanzhao suddenly sat up and raised his hand to touch his lips.
His brows couldn't stop tightening.
Gu Xixi, what exactly do you think?
We agreed to be honest with each other. Even if there is something we are not satisfied with, why don’t we say it face to face?
Mu Nanzhao gritted his teeth and became angry, but he couldn't bear to really hate her.
I was tossing and turning, feeling extremely anxious.
The next morning, it started to drizzle.
Gu Xixi and He Jinglan took a car back to Xiao He's house.
The driver, Lao Li, saw someone wandering outside the gate with an umbrella, and turned his head inside and said, "Miss, there is a girl outside our house."
He Jinglan stretched out her hand to open the curtain, leaned over to take a look, and immediately exclaimed in surprise:
"Miss Lu!"
In Yuzhu Courtyard, a maid brought a pot of hot citron black tea and placed a small bowl of jujube honey on the table.
He Jinglan personally placed the teacup in front of Lu Jing and said with a smile, "It's a cool rainy day."
"You are too polite. Even if we were not here, you should knock on the door and come in to wait."
