Hearing this, Gong Ou looked at her, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and a hoarse and angry voice roared from his throat, "Yes! I just blame him! What does he mean by this? In his eyes, besides the reputation of the Gong family, there is nothing else What? He didn’t let us go when he was alive, and he still won’t let us go now that he’s dead!”
“…”
Shi Xiaonian's eyes jumped when he yelled at her.
"For four years, he actually thought about using a substitute to keep himself alive when he died! It's not ridiculous!" Gong Ou angrily scolded, "It sounds like ambition, but it sounds like selfishness! Has he ever thought about his mother? , my mother has been with him for so many years, and even after he died, she still wanted her to use his name to support the Gong family!"
No.
there has never been.
"I hate that man. If he can crawl out of the coffin now, I will beat him!"
Gong Ou growled.
That man never took their family members seriously, and was like a madman who wanted to cultivate the Gong family tree to grow strong, regardless of whether they wanted to fertilize the big tree with soil or not.
Shi Xiaonian looked at him. He was venting his frustration. She knelt on the bed, stretched out her arms around Gong Ou, and said softly, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore."
When Gong Jue passed away, his family should have been sad, but Gong Yu and Gong Ou had no time to be sad because they had to deal with the problems left by Gong Jue.
Gong Ou sat on the bed and leaned in her arms, suppressing his anger, his voice hoarse, "Shi Xiaonian, am I being a jerk for saying this?"
Everyone is dead, and as a son, he didn't abide by his last wish but here he is trying to overthrow it.
"No." Shi Xiaonian said softly, lowered her head and kissed his hair gently.
It is said that when people pass away, they hope to leave a rich inheritance to their children so that they can live with peace of mind. However, the legacy of Gong Jue brings a heavy burden to his sons.
"Shi Xiaonian."
"Yeah." Shi Xiaonian said softly.
"I want to go back."
Gong Ou suddenly said, without the anger and fierceness just now, only tiredness remained.
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian let go of her hand, knelt down in front of him, looked at him seriously, and frowned slightly between his brows.
"Me too, Gong Ou." Shi Xiaonian said, "I want to go back to China, I want to go back to S City."
Gong Ou stared at her deeply, with dark eyes, stretched out his hand to touch her face, and said in a low voice, "If this engagement ceremony can be held smoothly, I will take you away!"
“…”
Could he give up so easily
Shi Xiaonian looked at him and said nothing. She knew Gong Ou's character very well. He would not give up so easily. She didn't think it was a big deal if he didn't give up, but she was worried that he would cause trouble before the engagement.
He always does amazing things.
Therefore, she had to find a way to break through Luo Qi's hurdle before getting engaged, and she had to find a way to make Luo Qi change his mind.
"What's that look in your eyes? You don't believe I will take you away?"
Gong Ou frowned and stared at her.
"believe."
I just didn't know when that time was, so Shi Xiaonian smiled and said, "Okay, go to bed. Mother has arranged for us to try on dresses tomorrow."
"I don't want to try!" Gong Ou pulled up the quilt and lay down on the bed, "When I think about that York, I can make myself vomit out yesterday's meal."
"How did she offend you again?" She just followed her parents' orders to get married.
"Too ugly."
"..." Shi Xiaonian lay down and said, "How can anyone judge likes and dislikes based on beauty and ugliness?"
"Everyone is like this. If you weren't beautiful, would I fall in love with you?"
Gong Ou said.
"I'm not very pretty." Shi Xiaonian said, she was just beautiful in his eyes.
"If I weren't handsome, would you, Shi Xiaonian, like me?" Gong Ou gave another example.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian found that she was speechless.
"Besides, that woman is not only ugly, but the eldest lady also has a very bad temper. Do you know how many times she has lost her temper in front of me? I almost didn't bring her shoes for this marriage."
Gong Ou said coldly.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian listened quietly. She had also heard some rumors that Miss York had never discussed a marriage when she was over thirty because she had a strong personality and needed everyone to respect her as the queen. She also often beat and scolded the servants. She has not been someone to be trifled with since she was a child, so she thought those were just rumors.
If Gong Yu really wants to marry such a person, she will never be able to wash away the guilt in her life.
…
In the middle of the night, Shi Xiaonian woke up in Gong Ou's arms. She was very thirsty. She took Gong Ou's hand away and got up gently from the bed. She walked to the table and poured a glass of water.
I saw the diary being thrown under the curtain by Gong Ou. Shi Xiaonian walked over to pick it up, moved her body to open the curtain, and looked out casually.
Their bedroom was not on a high floor, so she clearly saw a figure downstairs.
It's Luo Qi.
She was wearing a moon-white nightgown with her long hair hanging down. She was standing in front of a cluster of flowers and cutting off a flower with scissors. The moonlight was flowing like water on Luo Qi's body. The scene was so beautiful that it made people move.
From the beginning to now, Shi Xiaonian was amazed by Luo Qi's beauty.
She is so beautiful at this age, how outstanding she must have been when she was young.
Sometimes she didn't understand, with such a beauty, how could Gong Jue only focus on the Gong family? Is love really so dismissive for ambitious men
After thinking about it, Shi Xiaonian put down the cup and diary, turned around and walked out, walked out of the room, went downstairs, and walked into the garden, "Mother."
Luo Qi was cutting flowers. Hearing this, he turned around and looked at her, a little surprised, "Aren't you asleep yet?"
"Can't sleep, let's go for a walk." Shi Xiaonian smiled faintly and looked at the red flowers in her hand, "Pick flowers for father?"
Luo Qi looked down at the flower in her hand, with a soft smile on her face, "Well, this kind of flower only grows at night."
As she spoke, Luo Qi bent down and went to cut the flower branches again.
It turned out that all the flowers beside Gong Jue's coffin were pruned by Luo Qi himself. Shi Xiaonian stood beside her and looked at her. Even Luo Qi's action of pruning the flower branches was so elegant and noble that it made people feel like they were admiring a painting. painting.
"Mother, can I draw a picture for you?"
Thinking about it, Shi Xiaonian asked.
"What?"
Luo Qi straightened up and looked at her, thinking that she had heard wrongly.
"Actually, I have always wanted to draw a picture for my mother since the first time I met her." Shi Xiaonian said lightly, "My mother is a beauty that makes people eager to draw."
Any woman wants to hear a compliment about her looks.
Luo Qi glanced at her and said, "Is this the rhetoric you use when you find a model for a painting? I thought you always resented me."
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian stood there and smiled lightly, "It would be a lie to say that I don't have any resentment. I really hated the Gong family during the days when I was locked up in the tower."
"What about now?" Luo Qi asked.
"Now? I can make peace with any enemy for Gong Ou." Shi Xiaonian said, "What's more, you are not my enemy. You are just a noble lady who is not ruthless but soft."
Under the night, Luo Qi looked at her. Her eyes were clear, softer than the moonlight, and not aggressive at all, making people unable to get angry even if they wanted to.
Luo Qi put down the scissors in his hand and said, "Do you really want to draw me so much?"
"Can I have this honor?"
Shi Xiaonian asked.
Luo Qi stood there and thought for a while, then said, "That's fine. I haven't had a painter paint a portrait for me for a long time. I'll find time for you to paint it."
Nowadays, they all take photos. The last portrait was traced back to when Gong Ou was born, and he painted a family portrait.
"good."
Shi Xiaonian nodded.
After saying that, Luo Qi lowered her head to cut the flowers again, cutting off the best blooming flowers one by one, and then walked inside.
Shi Xiaonian didn't want to let go of this time with Luo Qi, so she followed him.
Luo Qi turned to look at her, a little strange, but didn't say anything.
Shi Xiaonian followed her into Gong Jue's study. The bookshelf was opened and a stream of cold air floated out. Neither of them wore much.
Shi Xiaonian shivered from the cold and followed Luo Qi inside.
Luo Qi held the flowers and placed them on the coffin, looking down at the man in the coffin, a faint smile appeared on her beautiful face, "Are the flowers blooming particularly well tonight?"
“…”
Shi Xiaonian stood aside and looked at her.
"In two days, Gong Yu will be engaged. She is a young lady from the York family. I heard that the young lady is quite strong, but I believe we can get along well with each other." Luo Qi spoke to Gong Jue with a gentle voice. Extremely.
"Do you really think they get along well?"
Shi Xiaonian asked.
Even if it is a marriage, two people need to get along peacefully. If Miss York is like the rumors, how can Gong Yu get along well with her.
"What do you mean?"
Luo Qi looked at Shi Xiaonian.
"Just sighing. Mother, how important do you think love is to a person?" Shi Xiaonian walked forward and stood in front of Luo Qi and asked.
She was no longer as frightened as she was when she saw the coffin.
Hearing this, Luo Qi chuckled, "It doesn't matter, only you and Gong Ou can make a living out of so-called love. Do you have any objections to Gong Yu's marriage?"
Luo Qi is a smart woman, and Shi Xiaonian knew what she was going to say from the beginning.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian stood in front of the coffin, looking down at the man covered in frost and dust in the coffin. Even though this man was lying in the cold coffin, he still looked like an emperor, dominating everything.
"Does mother really think love is not important?" Shi Xiaonian lowered her eyes and looked at the flowers on the coffin, "Then why do you have to pick flowers for your father in the middle of the night? Isn't this the flower of your acquaintance back then? Why do you have to freeze your father? Didn't you just want him to stay with you for four years? Why did you do such a small trick to marry your father back then? "
Hearing this, Luo Qi looked at her in surprise, "How do you know?"
"I read the diary written by Charles and heard some of what he said."
Shi Xiaonian said honestly.
Luo Qi stood there, the expression on his face suddenly became a little angry, "This Gong Ou is really getting more and more ridiculous, why does he pamper you in everything." (To be continued)
