With space in hand, who dares to mess with the villain's stepmother?

Chapter 74 074. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

"Let me heal you. Apart from poisoning, your depression will affect your body and life." Gu Xiaoxiao said softly.

If the stagnation of depression is not cured, it may not be as simple as coughing up blood in the future. Heart disease can kill people the most!

Mr. Liu thought for a while, and finally nodded.

In the end, Gu Xiaoxiao prescribed acupuncture and moxibustion for him, using traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning.

Liu Siyuan also pretended to be nonchalant and made hot tea and brought it in. Satisfied, Mr. Liu drank a cup in Liu Siyuan's hand and fell asleep.

Liu Siyuan sent Gu Xiaoxiao out of the yard and walked towards the door.

Passing by the peach blossom tree again, the fallen petals were colorful, the two stopped and admired the flowers involuntarily.

After a long silence, Liu Siyuan was the first to break the silence. He stared at the petals that kept falling from the tree, and said softly: "Actually..." He paused for a while, and then began to talk, "Because my father is a bastard, what's wrong? I will hand everything over to him, and that year happened to be at war with other countries, so he was sent to the battlefield. It was supposed to be my uncle, but my uncle deliberately pretended to be sick, but my grandfather had no choice but to let my father lead the army. Although my father She is not weak, but she has no experience in war, and never came back..." At this point, his eyes were filled with sadness.

After taking a deep breath and suppressing the bitter emotions in his heart, he continued: "In the end, when the army returned from victory, all the civil and military officials in the court were very happy, but no one remembered that my father's life has been left in that land since then. On the battlefield, it was also because of this incident that my grandfather was very disappointed with the court and the royal family, and it happened that no one in the family had achieved anything in the court, so my grandfather brought us here to spend the rest of his life."

When mentioning Mr. Liu, his expression was still very gentle. He sighed, and said: "I always knew that my grandfather felt guilty. He felt that it was he who sent my father to the battlefield that made my father decapitated. Yes, he has been blaming himself for many years, and now he is also in pain because of years of depression. If I hadn't come back to visit my uncle this time, I would not have known that his grandfather's illness had deteriorated so badly, and I didn't even know that he had been hit... He sighed, "It is precisely because of this self-blame that my grandfather took good care of me. I have no intention of becoming an official. I am only interested in cooking. My grandfather hopes that I will be happy, so he will let me go and give me freedom." .”

After a pause, he continued: "Actually, I have never blamed my grandfather. In the situation back then, the emperor issued an order that my family must have someone to lead the army. The uncle pretended to be sick, and the whole family believed it. Grandfather also There is no way, I can’t let the children go, so I let my father go. In fact, my grandfather is not wrong. It’s just that he has trapped himself all these years, so he can’t get over this hurdle. My grandfather has done enough for this family. There are many."

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at him recalling these things. Except for mentioning that he was very sad about his father's death, the rest of his words did not make him emotionally fluctuate. It was precisely because he didn't care about These past events.

In his eyes, there was no resentment from beginning to end, not even the slightest bit of grievance.

Perhaps it was because of the love Mr. Liu gave him for so many years that he was born in the sun!
There was a slight smile on the corner of Gu Xiaoxiao's mouth, this is really the best way for him to live!
"Well... Mr. Liu is really good, and you are also good, so you should all be well." Gu Xiaoxiao comforted softly.

Liu Siyuan turned his head and gave her a grateful look, then smiled softly, "I will definitely."

After leaving the Liu residence, Gu Xiaoxiao went back to Anhetang. Dr. Li was greatly relieved when he saw that his master came back safe and sound, tears welled up in his eyes unconsciously.

Seeing him like this, Gu Xiaoxiao took the Four Treasures from him with a look of disgust, and then said: "Doctor Li, I am not here to die, you don't have to!"

After hearing this, Dr. Li's complexion did not ease. Instead, he looked at Gu Xiaoxiao even more excitedly, with tears in his eyes.

In his heart, he thought that the reason why Gu Xiaoxiao said this was just because he was afraid that he would care too much.

The boss is really too kind, not only to "death" for him, but also to comfort him pretending to be relaxed after finally escaping.

Dr. Li showed an expression of "needless to say, I understand", his eyes were full of forbearance and admiration.

Seeing this, Gu Xiaoxiao also knew that Dr. Li was thinking too much, and she didn't bother to explain anything to him, she didn't show it on the surface, but she was very helpless in her heart.

She picked up the Four Treasures, and Mu Yu followed beside her, then raised her eyes and said to Doctor Li: "It's getting late, there's nothing else going on in the shop, so I'll go back first, and I'll leave this place to you, Doctor Li." Already!"

Dr. Li is the shopkeeper appointed by Gu Xiaoxiao on the day of the opening, and he is in the store for consultation every day, so it is convenient to manage.

Dr. Li nodded solemnly, still immersed in his previous emotions, and said, "Don't worry, Master, I will definitely not let you down!"

He secretly decided in his heart to put all his gratitude to his boss into the management of Anhetang.

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't delve into the hotness in Dr. Li's eyes, but simply glanced at the shop, seeing that there was really no problem, and left with Sibao and Muyu.

When I got home, as soon as I entered the house, I saw Zhou Zeyun and Dabao discussing the topic that Xu Jiaoxi had left for Zhou Zeyun at the stone table in the courtyard.

Now that Zhou Zeyun is a scholar, Dabao especially likes to study with his father. He thought, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. If he and his father are together, he will definitely become a scholar in the future!
If Gu Xiaoxiao knew Dabao's inner thoughts, she would roar!

The goal of a future minister of Dali Temple at this time is to be a scholar!
It's just... so unambitious!
Seeing Gu Xiaoxiao's return, the two of them stopped discussing the topic. Dabao went forward to get the Four Treasures, and took Mu Yan Mu Yu to play.

Zhou Zeyun approached Gu Xiaoxiao, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth as usual, and said softly: "You are back, how are you today?"

Every time Gu Xiaoxiao came back from going out, she would chat with Zhou Zeyun about what happened that day in order to promote the relationship between the two.

So every time she came home, Zhou Zeyun also consciously asked her "how is today?".

Gradually, each other has developed a habit.

Only this time, Gu Xiaoxiao was not as indifferent as usual, nor complained as usual, she stood straight in place, staring at Zhou Zeyun's smiling face, silent.

She finally knew the reason for the inexplicable sense of familiarity when she saw Liu Siyuan, the uncle of the Liu family and Mr. Liu in the Liu residence!

Looking at Zhou Zeyun at this moment, she felt that feeling!

And the big treasure just now...

why?
They are obviously two disparate families with completely different statuses, but why is this feeling?
This made Gu Xiaoxiao puzzled, she just stared at Zhou Zeyun for a long time.

Zhou Zeyun also waited for a long time. Gu Xiaoxiao didn't move or speak. He waved his hand in front of Gu Xiaoxiao in doubt, and said, "Xiaoxiao, what's the matter? Did something happen?"

After this call, Gu Xiaoxiao came back to her senses, her eyes were a little complicated, she thought for a while and asked Zhou Zeyun: "Do you know the Liu family in Zhoucheng?"

Zhou Zeyun shook his head, then nodded lightly, and said, "I heard that many people in Zhoucheng talked about their family's deeds, but I have never met the Liu family, so naturally I don't know them."

Gu Xiaoxiao nodded, because she thought too much, since Zhou Zeyun came to Zhoucheng, she has only read the books of sages and sages, and there are very few people from her family, so she must not know him!

"What's wrong?" Zhou Zeyun felt a little strange about Gu Xiaoxiao's attitude.

Gu Xiaoxiao thought that she might not have had a good rest. This kind of feeling alone is too unreliable, so she smiled slightly and replied: "It's okay, I just went to Liu's house for a doctor today. I heard that they are from Bianjing. Yes, just a little curious."

Zhou Zeyun took a step forward and raised his hand to scrape the tip of Gu Xiaoxiao's nose, petting and reminded: "Shut down your curiosity, and be careful not to mess with things you shouldn't. Although many rumors outside are not credible, there are no waves without wind. That's right."

Gu Xiaoxiao nodded. Although she is not afraid of causing trouble, it is better not to worry her family.

After thinking about it, she didn't tell Zhou Zeyun that Liu Siyuan was also from the Liu family in Zhoucheng, and about the Liu Zhao family, so that the young master would not have to be prepared for danger in times of peace again!
Originally, she didn't plan to have much contact with the Liu family, she was already busy with her own affairs!
Wouldn't it be nice to flirt with a pretty husband in your spare time? !
A few days later, Mr. Liu's health improved, and news came out that the wife of the Liu family came to Mr. Liu and said that he would reconcile with Mr. Liu who had been bedridden for many years.

After understanding the reason, Mr. Liu agreed to the request and personally acted as the master.

Mrs. Liu Zhao, no, it should be said that it is Mrs. Zhao's daughter, crying bitterly at the emotion of being out of the invisible cage for many years.

And the uncle of the Liu family also made a big fuss, although he could only lie on the bed and make a fuss.

Mr. Liu came to visit his son and heaved a long sigh. Although this is his son, there is no reason for the other girl to be dragged here all the time, and the son is still doing this by himself, so he has no one to blame!

But the uncle of the Liu family didn't think so. He was very dissatisfied with his father for not doing anything about his illness for so long, but now he even lost his wife for him. What if no one will take care of him in the future!
In his heart, he resented Mr. Liu more and more. He thought that when he recovered from his illness, he must not let this old man get better!

Since you are so cruel to his own son, don't blame him for being unfilial!

It's a pity, this is what he thinks in his heart, and he has no chance to stand up!
Besides, Mrs. Zhao, with the presence of Mr. Liu, the matter of reconciling Li was handled very quickly. Mr. Liu also gave her a considerable amount of compensation. She didn't want it originally, but the Mr. Liu insisted on giving it.

The old man naturally also knew that the life of the woman and the empress was very sad. If it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't go on, who would want to reconcile with the name that thousands of people denounced and reviled by thousands of people!

So compensation must be given, it is their Liu family who can't help others!
Mrs. Zhao accepted the compensation in order to reassure the old man. In addition, she has saved some money herself over the years, so her future life will not be a problem.

It's just that the Zhao family didn't understand the difficulty, and like the world, they didn't care much about Heli's daughter, and even avoided her, as if she had discredited the Zhao family, and even if she married, Heli would no longer be a member of the Zhao family.

The Zhao family was not able to enter the Zhao family, and she had already expected that she was originally a trade product for marriage in her natal family. There were no real relatives in the high-ranking family. She knew everything, so she saw it very clearly. Never expect too much.

So far, she bought a remote small courtyard by herself and lived quietly. She has a longing for life. She believes in love and is willing to love, but if she doesn't meet love, then one person is enough . .

Gu Xiaoxiao went to visit Mrs. Zhao, and Mrs. Zhao was still very polite, but she was grateful to Gu Xiaoxiao. Gu Xiaoxiao saw that she was living a good life alone, and she was much more cheerful than when she saw her in Liu's house, so she You know, they made the right decision!

After a period of time, Gu Xiaoxiao continued to live in the elderly, eating and drinking every day, lazily basking in the sun on the recliner, sometimes the sound of children reading, sometimes children laughing and playing, and sometimes Xu Jiaoxi surrounded him. With Zhou Zeyun discussing the topic of the township examination.

Gu Xiaoxiao fell asleep in a daze every now and then, as if in a dream she saw the self who kept fighting in the apocalypse again, and every time she couldn't hold on anymore, the back of a person would appear in front of her eyes, he was tall and tall. She stood in front of her with her body, and said fiercely: "Gu Xiaoxiao is my Zhou Zeyun's wife, whoever dares to hurt her, I will fight for my life!"

Immediately, the surrounding scenery bloomed in spring, and it was no longer filled with blood. The back in front of her eyes was still tall and straight, showing her desire to shelter her from the wind and rain.

The sleeping Gu Xiaoxiao slowly opened her eyes and woke up. She didn't realize that there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Her current life is really spring and flowers blooming!

She is satisfied.

Five months later, the township examination came.

As the township examination approaches, everyone knows the deeds of Zhou Zeyun's No. [-] High School case, and Zhou Zeyun's name has become popular in Zhoucheng, but no one knows what this person looks like? !How old are you? !

But he has a family, so he thinks he must be an old scholar who studies poetry and books hard.

When the rumors outside were spread to Gu Xiaoxiao's ears vividly by Qian Bin, Gu Xiaoxiao turned to look at Zhou Zeyun who was sitting in front of the desk in the window.

At this time, he was listening carefully to what Xu Jiaoxi said excitedly with his head down, his lowered brows and eyes were as warm as jade, and there was a faint smile on his mouth. The sun fell on his shoulders, as if he himself would Shiny in general.

Gu Xiaoxiao held her cheeks, raised the corners of her mouth and looked at her beautiful husband-in-law.

She doesn't object when she studies poetry and books hard, and she reluctantly agrees as a scholar, but when it comes to the adjective "old"...

How did those people come to this conclusion? ! !

Could it be that beauty is in the eye of her beholder?

Why did she see this young man as if a god descended from the earth!

　Happy Valentine's Day everyone!The title matches the holiday just right hahaha!
