Chapter 123 Breakthrough
"Mother!" The door opened, and Palace Chang An rushed in like an arrow.
Gong Xu was startled and couldn't help but loosen her strength. Wen Mingqian took advantage of the situation to get out.
"You... cough... aren't you at grandma's house? What are you doing here so late?" Gong Xu said unnaturally.
"Father, my son has written an article." Gong Changan calmly hid the small dagger back in his sleeve, "I will show it to the master in a few days, but I am not confident, so I want to ask my father first. Correct me.”
"Uh, let's... let's talk about it tomorrow!" Gong Xu was not in the mood to give advice. He just wanted to rebuild the old relationship with Wen Mingqian.
But at this time, Zhang Ma and the others also came back. When Zhang Ma saw this situation, she immediately understood and said, "Madam, the gold satin is missing from the backyard warehouse. Should we look for it overnight or wait until tomorrow?"
“The gold satin was originally used to make clothes for the old lady after autumn, how could it be missing?” Wen Mingqian said and walked out, “Where is the person who is looking after the warehouse?”
Gong Xu looked dumbfounded as Wen Mingqian led a group of people out. He opened his mouth but never said a word.
"Father, why don't you help me read the article?" Gong Changan looked at him helplessly and said.
"I drank today, let's wait another day!" Gong Xu suddenly walked out like a deflated ball.
Gong Changan followed him quietly. At this time, there was no one else around Gong Xu, and the night was dark.
Gong Changan spotted a fist-sized pebble beside the lotus pond and secretly used his feet to kick it exactly where Gong Xu was going to land.
Gong Xu was walking when his foot slipped and he fell into the lotus pond.
Gong Changan watched him with cold eyes as he flopped in the water several times before shouting: "No! The master fell into the pool! Someone come quickly!"
Yunying heard that the servant said that Gong Xu had gone to Wen Mingqian's yard, so she hurried over there. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw everyone pulling Gong Xu out of the pool, dripping wet.
"Master, what's going on?" Yunying stepped forward quickly.
How could Gong Xu bother to answer her words? He took a breath and said, "You all should be gentle. I don't dare to touch my right foot, for fear of spraining it."
Everyone came over with lanterns and lifted up his trousers. They couldn't tell for a while. What, he was the only one who felt the pain was terrible.
"Quick, quick, quick! Come with the spring stool and carry the master to my house." Yunying ordered, "Go and ask for a doctor."
After some fuss, Gong Xu was carried into Yunying's house. Yunying wiped him clean and changed his clothes.
By the time the doctor came, Gong Xu’s ankle had become swollen and was thicker than his calf.
"Fortunately, no bones were injured," the doctor said after checking carefully, "but it is a sprained tendon, and I need to rest for a while. This injury to the foot must be treated with caution. Be careful, it supports the whole body and is the most difficult to maintain. If you don't do it properly, you will suffer from lifelong diseases."
After that, he prescribed another prescription, leaving behind the topical bruise medicine.
Yunying opened the cabinet, took the doctor's consultation fee, and ordered someone to send him back.
It was already midnight, and Wen Mingqian only sent Zhang Ma to take a look and said a few words.
Gong Xu's heart felt worse than his legs at this moment. He understood that Wen Mingqian's heart was really cold. He had hurt him too deeply, so how could he let her turn around in a moment?
"Master, you should sleep for a while." Yunying said softly, "If you sleep for a while, the pain will be relieved."
"Yunying, if someone hurts you , will you still forgive me?" Gong Xu couldn't sleep and tried Yunying with words. In fact, he regarded Yunying as Wen Mingqian's substitute, because he knew that if he asked Wen Mingqian, he would not get an answer.
"It depends on who it is and how deeply it is hurt." Yunying said quietly, "If it is my parents who have been kind to me in raising me, even if they hurt me, I can bear it. . In addition, if someone has done me a great favor, even if he hurts me, I will only repay him as much as possible.
If we are brothers and sisters, for the sake of blood being thicker than water, I can bear with you seven points. But if he doesn't treat me as a brother or sister, then this fate will be broken. They are called brothers and sisters, but they are actually no different from other people in two lives.
As for the rest, it all depends on their own conscience. It is good to combine two good things into one, and love is cultivated slowly. "
"What about between husband and wife? "Gong Xu asked.
"Husband and wife are naturally destined by fate. Two people who were not related to each other have become the closest couple in the world. They say that a couple's love lasts for a night, and that a boy's love lasts for a hundred days. Husband and wife come to keep company.
Although I haven't read a book for a few years, I still know that the most distant relatives in this world are husband and wife. If the heart is in one place, even mountains of swords and seas of fire can be with it. If a rift arises, even if they sleep on the same bed, they still have their own secrets.
If one party hurts the other party deeply, how easy is it to reconcile as before? "
"Is it really impossible to reconcile as before? Isn’t it enough to try your best to make up for it? "Gong Xu was unwilling to give in.
"Although medicine for knife wounds is good, it is better not to be injured. Yunying lowered her head and did not look at Gong Xu, "To say there is reconciliation as before is just that the wronged person continues to be wronged." ”
After being told that the pain point was right, Gong Xu no longer asked any questions. He fell down on the pillow and fell asleep.
In fact, there is no need to ask Yunying, he knows it in his heart, but he has always been unwilling to think deeply about it.
Wen Mingqian treated him without any cover-up before, but he didn't like this.
Today, Wen Mingqian has become a good wife and mother in the eyes of the world. She is gentle and obedient, manages the family well, is filial to her elders, and is beautiful and smart.
But her heart was far away from her. No matter how she expressed it, she always had a lukewarm, neither salty nor indifferent attitude.
Yunying knew that she would not be able to sleep peacefully that night, so she simply did not take off her clothes.
Gong Xu was always half asleep and half awake because of his foot injury.
In the dream, Wen Mingqian always walked in front of him, neither far nor close. The two of them were three or four steps apart. They seemed to be close at hand, but they couldn't reach him when they stretched out their hands.
Gong Xu wanted to walk faster to catch up with her, but his legs couldn't move no matter what.
He wanted to call Wen Mingqian, but his voice became hoarse for some reason and he couldn't make a sound.
He was so anxious in his dream that he was going crazy, but there was nothing he could do.
Listening to Gong Xu's raving, Yunying turned over slightly and covered her ears.
It wasn't until Gong Xu kicked her leg suddenly that she touched the painful spot and woke up with a squeal of pain. She then stood up and said, "What's wrong, sir? Do you want some tea?"
" What time is it now? Why is it not dawn yet?" Gong Xu asked, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
“It’s still early, it’s only the fourth watch.” Yunying whispered, “Master, it’s better to sleep a little longer! Wait until dawn and have breakfast before taking medicine. I think the pain will be better. ”
Gong Xu had no choice but to take a sip of tea and continue to lie down.
But his heart always felt like it was being pressed down by a stone, and every beat seemed laborious.
