Gu Beiyue took Qin Min to the south and bought a quiet small house in Ningzhou, a famous city in the south of the Yangtze River, and lived there.
Except for their personal servants, they didn't hire any other servants.
In this house, Qin Min didn't have to stuff clothes in her belly and pretend to be pregnant like in Yunning. She didn't have to pretend to be disabled and sit in a wheelchair all the time.
Everything had become much more relaxed. Other than the young maidservant by her side, no one else knew how much she wanted to run around after her legs recovered!
In Yunning, the Gu Mansion had all kinds of scruples. Moreover, with Gu Beiyue's cautious character, she didn't dare to be presumptuous, so she could only endure.
Hiding the truth about her legs and continuing to sit in a wheelchair was both her idea and Gu Beiyue's idea.
She wanted to find out who did this to her, and Gu Beiyue wanted to find out the mole in the Qin Family and take the opportunity to change the situation of the several families in the Medical City.
Although Gu Beiyue was the director, it was not easy to take the Medical College under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. He needed an opportunity and the support of the several families in the Medical City, whether voluntary or forced.
Back in Yunning's Gu Estate, she had to put on a show sometimes, so she and Gu Beiyue interacted more often. Now that they were in Ningzhou, she and Gu Beiyue had gone their separate ways.
Gu Beiyue was a very quiet person, in front of people and behind closed doors.
She was different. She liked quiet, but she didn't like noisy people.
She was silent in front of people. She knew everything in her heart, but she didn't say it out loud. She didn't argue. She pretended to be stupid and kept a low profile.
In private, she was not a quiet and gentle woman, but a very troublesome person.
She liked to study acupuncture and could make her own gold needles.
She liked to plant flowers and plants in the yard and didn't mind getting mud all over.
She liked to decorate the room clean and beautiful, and occasionally changed the furnishings.
She liked to make pastries by herself and stayed in the kitchen for the whole afternoon.
She liked to play the zither and paint. Recently, she even learned to dance.
She was a person full of love for life. She liked quiet, but could live a lively life in her independent small world.
She treated people very well, but she also had a temper. When she was serious, her temper was not small.
Her temperament looked very similar to Gu Beiyue's, but in reality, they were very different.
Gu Beiyue was so quiet that it made her feel bored. She also knew that her living habits might disturb Gu Beiyue.
In Yunning's house, she always put Gu Beiyue first and tried her best not to disturb him.
After all, he was her "husband." He was the luckiest and safest home in her life. He was the benefactor who had saved her from the Qin family.
In Ningzhou, she was much more at ease.
For one thing, no acquaintances came to visit or disturb them. She and Gu Beiyue didn't give face to the local officials in Ningzhou. They didn't want to see them.
Secondly, the mansion in Ningzhou wasn't big, but it had two independent courtyards. She and Gu Beiyue didn't have much to worry about. From the first day they moved in, they each lived in one courtyard and lived their own lives.
The day before New Year's Eve, Gu Beiyue said that he would come over to have dinner with her. Qin Min also happened to be going over to invite him.
The two looked at each other and smiled. Gu Beiyue said, "Come over when it's dark. Something simple is fine. There's no need to prepare too much."
Qin Min said jokingly, "Can I buy some fireworks to pay for the meal?"
Gu Beiyue smiled and agreed.
Qin Min prepared a table of dishes. There wasn't much, but all of them were her best dishes.
She waited for Gu Beiyue with the attitude of a friend from the medical community who shared the same ideals.
After her legs were crippled, she no longer had any friends. The only person she could talk to was the little maidservant beside her.
Unfortunately, when it was dark, Gu Beiyue's servant came over and said that Gu Beiyue had an urgent matter and had gone out.
Qin Min waited until it was late at night.
Gu Beiyue came over alone. His figure was like a shadow as he silently landed outside the house.
He saw that the door was open and the dishes on the table had turned cold. Qin Min was lying on the table and sleeping. Her maidservant was leaning against a pillar at the side, dozing off.
Gu Beiyue entered and saw that the dishes on the table had not been touched. He frowned.
At this time, the maidservant woke up in a daze. When she saw him, she exclaimed, "Son-in-law!"
Qin Min immediately raised her head and stared at Gu Beiyue with sleepy eyes, a little dazed.
"Eldest Miss Qin, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Gu Beiyue said gently.
Qin Min regained her senses this time. She patted her face and hurriedly got up. "Headmaster, don't stand on ceremony. You haven't eaten yet, right? "
She asked the maidservant to quickly heat up the dishes. Gu Beiyue did not stop her.
When the maidservant finished heating up the dishes, Gu Beiyue said, "I've eaten outside. You should eat. It's New Year's Eve. If you don't eat, you'll starve for a year."
Qin Min was stunned. Then, she burst out laughing. "Headmaster, you believe this is a lie to a child?"
Gu Beiyue personally scooped a bowl of soup and handed it to her. He said mildly, "I'll sit with you for a while. You should eat … Since you're already here to eat, you can't miss the appointment."
Was Gu Beiyue worried that she would not eat and persuaded her mother?
Qin Min chuckled and said honestly, "Even if you don't eat, I'll eat. I'm really hungry. This is fresh mushroom soup. After heating it up, the taste is much worse, but it's still quite good. Do you want to try a bowl? "
Gu Beiyue was slightly stunned. His gaze fell on Qin Min's face.
Only then did Qin Min retract her smile. She realized that she might have said too much. It was strange. She was always very calm and collected in front of others. Why couldn't she remain calm in front of Gu Beiyue?
Qin Min thought that she must have been dazed from sleep. She secretly told herself that she should be more careful in the future. After all, they lived together. It would be bad to disturb this great benefactor's peace.
Gu Beiyue only felt that Qin Min seemed a little different from usual. However, he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong.
Qin Min thanked him and lowered her head to drink the soup quietly. She didn't dare to look at him again.
"Eldest Miss Qin, I will set off for Medical City tomorrow," Gu Beiyue said mildly. "I just went out to see a patient. The situation is complicated and dangerous. I plan to personally send him to Medical City and hand him over to Deputy Shen. "
Qin Min raised her head and nodded seriously.
Gu Beiyue had only asked for a month and a half's leave. It was a long journey from Ningzhou to Medical City. Moreover, he couldn't walk fast with a patient. Such a round trip would take more than a month and a half.
"Be careful on the way. If time is tight, you don't have to come back. Go directly to Yunning," Qin Min said seriously. "I will arrange the child's matter properly. Don't worry."
They were going south this time to give birth to a child.
Gu Beiyue adopted a baby boy who was almost one year old. It didn't match the time of her fake birth. There was a difference of nearly a year.
Gu Beiyue planned to let her give birth in the south and then let her stay in Jiangnan to recuperate until the child was a little older. When he was three or four years old, he would take him back to Yunning. After all, it was difficult to tell the child's age between three and five years old.
Gu Beiyue promised that in the next few years, he would definitely let her find the person who poisoned the Qin family.
Qin Min was also happy with such an arrangement. She could be free for a few years. When she returned to Yunning, she didn't have to pretend to be pregnant or lame. She could also work in the medical school. Her life wouldn't be so restrained.
"Thank you for your hard work," Gu Beiyue said politely.
"It's my duty," Qin Min said with a smile.
Gu Beiyue didn't stay for long. Qin Min hadn't even finished a bowl of soup when he was about to leave.
"It's cold outside. I won't send you off. Rest early, "Gu Beiyue said lightly.
Qin Min was quite indifferent at first, but for some reason, when she saw Gu Beiyue's lonely figure walking away, she couldn't help but chase after him. "Let's send you off. It's New Year's Eve."
Gu Beiyue didn't refuse. The two of them walked side by side and quietly walked to the gate.
"Miss Qin, please wait," Gu Beiyue said lightly.
"Director, have a safe trip," Qin Min said seriously.
Gu Beiyue had already left, but he turned back and said, "Miss Qin, I brought the fireworks. They're on the coffee table in your room."
Qin Min waved her hand and said politely, "Thank you!"
Seeing that Gu Beiyue's figure had disappeared into the cold night, Qin Min put down her hand and muttered to herself, "He didn't even eat. Why did he leave money for the meal?"
She returned to her room and indeed saw the fireworks that Gu Beiyue had left behind. She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became anxious. "Shaoyao, quick, bring me a lighter. Let's go set off the fireworks!"
She was so anxious that she turned and ran. She accidentally tripped over the threshold and fell heavily to the ground.
Seeing this, the maidservant Shaoyao hurried over to help her up. "Miss, what's wrong? Where did you fall? Does it hurt? "
She got up and, ignoring the pain, snatched the maidservant's lighter and ran into the courtyard. Soon, she lit the fireworks.
Following the popping sounds, gorgeous flowers bloomed in the sky.
She stood under the sky full of fireworks, looking up and smiling. "So beautiful …"
Gu Beiyue hadn't gone far yet. He looked back and saw the resplendent fireworks in the sky. It was gorgeous and beautiful.
He paused until all the fireworks were gone, then turned to leave.
How long would it be before they could meet again after this parting?
Gu Beiyue gradually walked away. Qin Min stood in the courtyard and stared blankly at the ashes on the ground.
Shaoyao pulled her over and looked her up and down. "Miss, where were you hurt just now? Does it hurt? "
"Miss, your leg has just recovered. You can't fall!"
"Miss, why are you so anxious?"
…
Qin Min let Shaoyao nag for a long time before she looked over and muttered, "Shaoyao, I … can't bear to part with him."
Shaoyao was stunned for a moment before replying, "Miss, this servant can't bear to part with the son-in-law either! It's the New Year … the son-in-law is really a good person. "
Qin Min stared at Shaoyao for a long time. Finally, she smiled helplessly and returned to her room without saying anything else.
Shaoyao, this silly girl!
There was a dinner and fireworks. Gu Beiyue and Qin Min could be considered to have passed New Year's Eve.
There was one person's New Year's Eve that didn't have a dinner or fireworks, only wine.
This person was none other than Ning Cheng, who had been missing for a long time.
On the grassland north of Wintercrow Country, a bonfire burned fiercely, its flames soaring into the sky. The men of Wintercrow Country weren't afraid of the cold. They were all wearing fox skin vests and gathered around the bonfire, drinking and eating meat.
Ning Cheng was among them. His attire wasn't much different from the men of Wintercrow Country, and his strength was no different from the men of Wintercrow Country.
The only difference was that the men of Wintercrow Country ate meat, while Ning Cheng only drank.
If one didn't look carefully, no one would be able to tell that this guy was the master of the Di Clan, the former Great General of the North.
While they drank and drank, female slaves emerged from the surrounding tents. One of them sat down by Ning Cheng's side …
