Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 79 Gone
Turning around, she called Chrysanthemum to fetch water, helped Caiyi to freshen up, and deliberately took out the rouge paper from the dressing box.

After freshening up, with powder on her face and rouge on her lips, Cai Yi's complexion looked much better.Although still out of shape, he looked more energetic.

He raised his head and smiled slightly, which was a bit bright and charming that day.

"Come here!" Smiling and stretching out her arms, she carefully took the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes.

He looked down, but burst out laughing, "What an ugly doll!" After finishing speaking, he raised his head and looked at Gu Sixiao, "My old family said that you can't praise a child for being beautiful, you must call him ugly, so God so I won't be jealous..."

"It's really—so small!" Caiyi looked at the child with gentle eyes, and she shed tears as she looked at the child.

Wiping the corners of her eyes with her backhand, she just smiled, "I can't let my baby see that mother is so ugly!"

Sniffing, she blinked away the teardrops on her eyelashes, lifted the front of her clothes, even though there was no milk at all, she still hugged the child close, let him grope, and sucked her head.

However, after only a short while, the child spat out the nipple and cried loudly.

"It's really hard to fool, look, how smart he is..." Caiyi smiled, teasing the child's face with his hands, and when he reached out to grab her fingers and put them directly into his mouth, his expression became more gentle.

"Mother, I'm really sorry, I can't even let you have milk."

"It's okay, the official said to hire a nanny, Aunt Caiyi, give the baby to me! I'll hold it and feed it some rice cereal or sugar water."

Raising her head suddenly, staring at Linghua who stretched out her hand, Caiyi sneered and said, "What are you! You deserve to have a child with me! If you want to snatch my child, you need your master to come in person!"

Linghua's smile froze, she looked at Caiyi, although her expression was unhappy, but it was not good to forcefully reach out to grab it at this time.

Hearing the sound of the door, she immediately turned around and winked at Hu Wanwan who was walking inside.

Caiyi didn't look at it, she lowered her head, she just teased the child in her arms, she didn't even intend to raise her head.

"Ahem..." Gu Yong coughed twice, covered his nose, and called out, "Caiyi."

Because of his voice, Caiyi's hand teasing the child paused, raised his head, smiled leisurely, looked at Gu Yong, and said softly: "Officer, look, our child..."

Although Caiyi doesn't look very good-looking now, this smile is so touching.

Originally still reluctant, Gu Yong, who felt unlucky, couldn't help softening his complexion, stepped forward, and bent down to look at the baby boy in Caiyi's arms, "Well, this child... has a good face..."

To put it bluntly, a little child, as thin as a kitten, can't tell anything, he doesn't come from a good background, so he looks inferior.

If it wasn't for the sympathy in his heart, Gu Yong would have jumped up and hid far away.

After all, he still felt disgusted, he didn't get any closer, but just stood there like that, and said in an embarrassing way: "Look, are you going to give the child to Wanwan to raise?"

After asking the words, Gu Yong also felt that the words were too much, pursed the corners of his lips, and said again: "Your health is not good..."

When Caiyi heard this, she just laughed, not like in the past when things went wrong and she was always crying.

"The officials are the best to me. They always consider my mother and son in everything. Naturally, I listen to the officials."

Gu Yong was a little surprised, looking at Caiyi who was smiling brightly, he couldn't help but feel ashamed, "Well, when you get better, send the child back."

Caiyi was still smiling, "Official Duyi..."

She accepted Gu Yong, but Liu Shi was unhappy, "Caiyi, you have thought it over clearly, do you really want to give the child to Aunt Hu?"

Being stared at by Gu Yong, she snorted and complained: "Officer, you favor Hu Wanwan, you only mention her, and you don't give Caiyi a chance to choose. This is not only unfair to me, but also unfair to Caiyi." ah!"

Looking at Caiyi, she said in a deep voice: "There are some things that you don't know. Although I can't say it, I have to teach you that not everyone in this room is like me. Some people, She looks pretty, and pretends to be gentle, but she's dark inside! Handing over the child is a matter of a lifetime, and you're not afraid that the child won't live long..."

"What nonsense!?" Gu Yong shouted, very dissatisfied.

Looking at Gu Yong, then at Liu Shi, and finally glanced at Hu Wanwan, who couldn't hide her anxiety, Caiyi lowered her eyes, but smiled mockingly.

Looking up again, she already had a gentle look, "Officer, I'm all at your command."

In a word, it put everything on Gu Yong.

Gu Yong was moved and pityed at the same time, he just felt that he had treated Caiyi a little bit badly in the past.These days, he often neglected Caiyi.

"Caiyi, don't worry, take good care of yourself. If you recover, I will naturally ask Wanwan to bring the child back."

As soon as this remark came out, Hu Wanwan immediately burst into a smile, and Liu Shi gave a cold snort and walked away in a huff.

Caiyi smiled, looked at Gu Yong tenderly, and said softly: "Officer, can you let me have a few words with Aunt Hu? I know my body..."

Feeling sad, Gu Yong nodded heavily, "Talk about..." He turned and walked away, but turned back, "Wanwan, don't stay for a long time—well, the child still has something to give birth to..."

Is it because you are afraid that the smell of blood will spoil your heart? !
Although Caiyi didn't speak, there was already a hint of mockery in her eyes.

After Gu Yong left the house, she whispered: "I deliberately dressed up, and I was obedient to the officials, trying to please them in every possible way, for what reason?"

No one responded, and she continued as if she was talking to herself: "It's just that I hope he will think of me in the future, and it will be good to remember. Although death is all empty, it is good to think of me, and then look at me Children, you always have a little more pity, don't you?"

Raising her eyes, she looked at Hu Wanwan with serious eyes, "Actually, I don't have to bother so much, do I? What kind of person are you, Hu Wanwan! Even without me, you would naturally have a way to make the officials treat the children because of you. Compassion is added..."

"Don't worry, Caiyi. With me here, this child will grow up safely..."

Before Hu Wanwan finished speaking, Caiyi sneered, as if she hadn't heard Hu Wanwan's words, she continued: "You have scheming, you have means, but no matter what, you can't change that this child was born to me. The truth! No matter how nice you are to him, he is not your own! Someone will always tell him that his mother is called Caiyi!"

Hu Wanwan's face sank, and Hu Wanwan's expression became a little stiff. Caiyi stared at her and smiled coldly, "Feeling uncomfortable?! What is this? Hu Wanwan, you poisoned me, didn't you just want to rob this child? It is so uncomfortable to be said a few words by me, how will you face the child whose biological mother was killed by you in the future!"

Suddenly raising her head to look at Gu Sixiao who had been standing silently by the side, Hu Wanwan turned her head and saw that there was only Linghua in the room except the three of them, and her complexion changed for the better.

"Caiyi, I don't know who said these nonsense to you, but how can you believe such rumors? How could I harm you!?"

"Bah, do you think I don't have eyes or a heart? Hu Wanwan, even if I don't notice it at first, won't I be able to notice it later?" Caiyi cursed loudly, but then changed the subject, "Don't worry , I didn't intend to expose you! Since you have gone to great lengths to snatch my child, you must want it very much..."

She tilted her head and said in a low voice: "People are always like this. They cherish things that they have worked hard to get. If they are easily obtained, they always don't care."

Staring at Hu Wanwan closely, she asked in a deep voice, "Hu Wanwan, will you treat my child well and kindly, just like your own flesh and blood, pamper him, love him, protect him well, let him grow up safely, and beg him Good wife, live happily ever after."

Hu Wanwan pursed her lips, and did not avoid Caiyi's gaze, "I will! Caiyi, I will let this child grow up well, win the first prize, marry a beautiful wife, and live a life of prosperity."

"No. [-] scholar?!" Caiyi giggled, beckoned, and stretched out her arms when Hu Wanwan stepped forward, as if to hand the child into her hands.

Hu Wanwan stepped forward to catch her, but before she could straighten up, Caiyi suddenly grabbed her hand, leaned closer and glared at her bitterly, "Hu Wanwan, if you don't treat my child well, Even if I turn into a ghost, I will crawl out of hell and kill you poisonous woman!"

Startled, Hu Wanwan hurriedly backed away holding the child, "I, I will treat this child well, you can go at ease!"

Caiyi stared at her steadily, watching the hand she was carefully protecting the child's head, and suddenly fell down.It seems that I have lost my pillar, and I can no longer stand up.

"Caiyi," Hu Wanwan called cautiously, but didn't get a response, and didn't call again, turned around and ran out of the room with the child in her arms.

"My child..." Caiyi's voice was so low that it was hard to hear.

Gu Sixiao leaned down, looked at Caiyi with slack eyes, and said in a low voice, "He's fine..."

"Yeah, Hu Wanwan will treat him very well—you know what? I gave him a nickname before, Brother Shan, but I can't call him that, I have to reserve his name for Hu Wanwan That bitch takes..."

Given a name, she felt that the child belonged to her...

Hearing Caiyi's lowering voice, Gu Sixiao turned her head away and wiped the corners of her eyes.

Looking back, there was already a smile on his face, "Don't worry, he will live his life in peace..."

Don't ask for the scenery, don't ask for the champion, just ask him to live a safe life.

Caiyi nodded and smiled, but couldn't even speak.When the child was carried away, she seemed to have been sucked out of her last vitality, and she couldn't hold on any longer.

Like a flower that withers on the ground, it passes away lonely and silently.Withered like fallen leaves in autumn, there is no more vitality.

Silently looking at Caiyi who was not breathing, Gu Sixiao vaguely remembered that Caiyi probably hadn't turned seventeen yet!Such a young life just disappeared in this gloomy house.

"boom--"

A thunderclap, a torrential rain...

With a "bang", the window was blown open by the strong wind and hit the wall.

Gu Sixiao stood up, closed the window subconsciously, and then looked back suddenly.

Caiyi has already gone, and she will no longer be afraid of the cold or the wind...

Covering her face, she was silent for a while before pushing the door and going out.

There was no one in the yard.At dusk, the west wing opposite the door was already lit.Under the dim light, the shadow of a person is cast on the window paper.

It was a man and a woman teasing the baby, talking and laughing, such a warm family...

"Auntie has gone—Auntie Caiyi is dead!"

Shouting suddenly, Gu Sixiao rushed into the rain, shouting loudly: "Aunt Caiyi is dead! Dead..."

Just in this autumn rain, I died so alone, no one cared.
