Rebirth of marriage

After it was over, Xie Jiu curled up in Gu Xiao's arms, and the two of them immersed themselves in the warm water, feeling the heat lingering around their bodies.

Gu Xiao still had a cold expression on his face, but he felt very embarrassed in his heart.

The first time I wanted her was because of the medicinal properties, why did I feel dizzy just now, like a frivolous young man who was aroused by her words and had a desire to win.

The dark eyes lowered to look at the woman with closed eyes in his arms, "Can you go?"

Xie Jiu opened his eyes and nodded, quickly got up from him and was about to walk towards the shore when his legs went weak and he leaned forward.

Xie Jiu's legs were really weak this time and she lost her center of gravity. She was about to fall into the water. She exclaimed, "Ah!"

It's over, it must be ugly to fall down like this. Xie Jiu silently mourned for herself. Before she could let Gu Xiao fall in love with her, she let him witness her embarrassment.

Just when she was thinking about how to make up for the embarrassing fall, Gu Xiao's strong arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her into his thick chest.

Xie Jiu helped him stand upright, his face was hot, "Thank you."

Gu Xiao was silent. Xie Jiu's fall just now made him feel that he might have done something wrong again this time. He directly carried her to the shore and took out the cloth that he used to keep in the cave to wipe the water droplets on her body.

Seeing his sullen face, Xie Jiu knew that he was unhappy, and he understood the reason as soon as his eyes turned.

But she couldn't tell him that the weakness in her legs this time was caused by the position he chose. It would make him think that she knew too much about boudoir matters and had lost the restraint of a woman.

Xie Jiu took the cloth from his hand and wiped it himself. He remembered the scene of him peeking at a pamphlet to study in his previous life, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

She is his only woman, she was in the past life, and she will be in this life.

After both of them put on their clothes, Gu Xiao picked her up and walked out of the cave, leaping out on her toes, with Xie Dimple in his arms, and suddenly said, "The Yang family said that the prince forced them and gave them drugs. "

Gu Xiao paused slightly and said nothing.

Xie Jiu sighed in her heart. He was like this in his previous life without explaining or saying anything, which made her believe the Yang family's words even more.

She thought to herself, "I know they are lying to me. They want to use me in exchange for benefits. If the prince doesn't want me, they will give me to others."

Gu Xiao finally said, "I didn't drug you."

But he allowed them to send people here, which was a bit bullying after all, so he didn't refute.

Gu Xiao's answer made Xie Jiu a little happy. If he was willing to communicate, there wouldn't be so many misunderstandings. It was a good start.

She also told him about her temporary break away from the Yang family and living in Lin Shu's house, "...I don't dare to live there anymore. I'm afraid that one day I don't pay attention and they will harm me again, so I have to use some tricks to leave first." them."

She didn't elaborate on the little tricks, and Gu Xiao wouldn't ask, but he gave up his Qinggong jump and walked slowly instead, listening to her quietly.

He had found out what happened at the grocery store. The clerk was originally a servant of the Hou family. The hatred in her eyes when she killed him must have been because she had been bullied by him.

While investigating this matter, I learned about her situation in the Yang family. The Yang family treated her badly, so it would be a good thing to separate.

"Am I bad?" Xie Jiu looked up at him.

Gu Xiao said, "You are protecting yourself."

"I hate them, and I hate them. On the way to exile, they forced concubines to serve as officials in exchange for benefits even though they had food on hand.

When encountering bandits, she pushed her concubine to the front. Cai almost always rode a cart all the way to exile. She forced her third sister-in-law to exchange her body for the cart. "

Speaking of this, Xie Jiu said with sadness, "In the Hou Mansion, only the third brother and the third sister-in-law treat me well, but I can't save them."

The third eldest son of the Yang family was a concubine and was disliked by the Cai family. They were the first to suffer misfortune. As soon as Yongning Hou set out, he fell ill and had no time to take care of himself. Cai family and her two sons became the masters of the family.

Xie Jiu didn't expect Gu Xiao to chat with her. He had always been cold and taciturn. In the past, she was so frightened by him that she didn't dare to say anything.

Now she wants to be the one who takes the initiative, "Lin Shu treats me very well. I like her very much. She just looks hard to get along with..."

Since the death of his mother-in-law, few people have shared their joys and sorrows with him like this. Xie Jiu chattered as if they were very familiar with him, but he didn't seem to be disgusted.

After sending the person to Lin Shu's door, Gu Xiao turned around and left. Xie Jiu asked him, "Your Majesty, can I still go to the hot spring when it gets cold in the future?"

"No." Gu Xiao refused.

Xie Jiu's disappointment was evident on his face.

Gu Xiao, who has good night vision, took in all this. He was silent and said indifferently, "It is not safe to be alone. I will take you there when I am free."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xie Jiu suddenly smiled, his eyebrows flying, he was very happy.

Because he was in a good mood that night, Xie Jiu had the most peaceful sleep since his rebirth.

When Gu Xiao returned to the palace, he couldn't sleep. He had never planned to have a woman in his life, and he had never paid attention to that aspect. He only occasionally heard people say that this matter is instinctive for men and they can be learned by themselves without a teacher. .

He was driven by instinct, but judging from her reaction, her experience was not good. Maybe he really lacked some skills?

He got up and went to the study room, rummaging through the bookcases. He remembered that the man had sent a lot of related books before, and where they were placed.

The movement in the study caught Li Li's attention. He yawned and came in, "Master, what are you looking for? I'll help you."

Gu Xiao's face did not change, "I am looking for a book of war. Please step back."

Mo Li said, "Master, it's already midnight, and you still need to read the military manual. Go to bed early, otherwise Nanny Wu will have to talk to her subordinates again if she finds out."

"I know, please step back."

Li Li glanced at Gu Xiao, why did he feel that his master was a little panicked? Was it an illusion?

Why was the master so panicked? He must have seen it wrong. He didn't dare to stay and hurriedly left.

After Gu Xiao and others left, he started to rummage again, and finally found what he was looking for in the small wooden box at the top of the bookcase. There was a whole box.

I took out a book and read through the action pictures above, my heartbeat accelerated a little.

Picking up another book, it is still a blood-curdling picture, with textual annotations next to it...

The next morning, Mo Li found that no one had found the study in the bedroom, and said distressedly, "Master, why did you stay in the study all night again? Now that Yuyou Pass is under your control, you don't have to work as hard as before. Your health is important..."

Glancing at the wooden box that was put back in its place, Gu Xiao felt a little guilty and his ears were a little burning, but his face was calm and steady. He glanced at Mo Li who was chattering away and said, "That's long-winded."

Li Qiye hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands and kept silent. The master likes to be quiet, and the most annoying thing is that he talks a lot.

Gu Xiao stood up and walked out of the study. When he reached the door, he stopped and gave instructions, "Send a few baskets of good charcoal to the exile area, and give her 500 taels of silver. Prepare some broken silver to hide it better."

Xie Jiu got up very early. She had a lot to do after she was reborn. Making Gu Xiao fall in love with her was only the first step. She also needed to make herself a good match for him.

The Great Xia Dynasty did not encourage widows to remarry, and her path was not that easy.

Gu Xiaoneng broke off the engagement with Nihuang for her, but he didn't know that the road would be difficult, but he would rather be imprisoned by the emperor for three months to persist, and he would not hesitate to offend the powerful Duke of Zhen. He has sacrificed a lot for her, and in this life it would be better for her Come.

She had something very important to confirm today. When she was ready to go out, there was a knock on the courtyard door.
