Wei Ruixuan.

Meng Jinyao looked at the account book sent by Zhuangzi's manager, which was Gu Jingxi's private property. She looked at the account book and saw that the income recorded on it was very good. Zhuangzi had been in Gu Jingxi's name more than ten years ago.

She read so many account books and roughly estimated Gu Jingxi's personal property. She found that her husband was not ordinary rich. No wonder he gave her 30,000 taels of silver notes if he could afford it.

At this time, Qingqiu slowly stepped forward and persuaded in a low voice: "Madam, you have been reading for a long time, why don't you take a break? Looking at it for too long will hurt your eyes. You don't have to finish reading this account book today."

Meng Jinyao also felt tired, put down her account book, rubbed her brows, and nodded gently: "Okay, you can go out with me for a walk."

Qingqiu nodded and helped her put away the account books.

After a while, Xia Zhu hurried in, saluted Meng Jinyao, and said, "Madam, the Marquis wants you to go to the study room in the front yard now."

Meng Jinyao was stunned after hearing this and asked in confusion: "Why did the Marquis suddenly come to me?"

Xia Zhu shook his head: "This servant doesn't know that the boy in the front yard came to send a message just now, saying that the Marquis asked you to come over."

"okay, I get it."

Meng Jinyao nodded, told Qingqiu not to follow, and went to the study in the front yard alone.

She walked briskly, passing through the garden, around the corridor, passing through the moon cave door to the front yard, and then walked towards the study. It didn't take long for her to arrive at the door of the study.

Seeing the study door open, Meng Jinyao did not hesitate, stepped across the threshold and entered the study.

As soon as she entered the study, she was met with an eager gaze. She looked intuitively and saw Qi Yunwen, the young minister of Dali Temple. The moment the other party saw her, he looked stunned and looked at her blankly.

Meng Jinyao also froze on the spot. She was sent by her husband to send a message asking her to come over. But when she arrived in the study, she didn't see her husband. She only saw her husband's friend. She immediately became vigilant and subconsciously took half a step back.

This is not because she doesn't trust Qi Yunwen. Qi Yunwen is the uncle of her close friend Aning. He is a modest gentleman. When she met someone in the past, everyone would call him "Uncle Qi". He would definitely not do anything to her, but she was afraid of being betrayed by others. She falsely accused herself of living in the same room with her husband's friend, a man and a woman alone.

Qi Yunwen asked in surprise: "Brother and sister, why is it you?" As he said that, he looked behind Meng Jinyao. He didn't see his friend, and asked, "Where is Gu Yaoling?"

Meng Jinyao didn't react for a moment and asked blankly: "Who is Gu Yaoling?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a gentle voice sounded behind her: "Gu Yaoling, your husband, why did your wife forget me?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Meng Jinyao froze and turned around blankly. Gu Jingxi's handsome face came into view, looking at her with a half-smile.

She suddenly remembered that Gu Jingxi, also known as Yao Ling, was mentioned by her mother-in-law in front of her before.

In an instant, Meng Jinyao felt thunder rolling from the sky and felt extremely embarrassed. How could a wife call out her husband's name and ask others, "Who does this person belong to?"

Qi Yunwen looked at the couple, one half-smiling, the other as if struck by lightning. He couldn't help but chuckle and said jokingly: "This is the first time I've seen two unfamiliar couples. You two have been married for a while. Not familiar yet?"

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao became even more embarrassed and had the urge to run away. If she had just thought about it for a moment, she wouldn't have been so embarrassed.

Gu Jingxi glanced at the little girl and said with a smile: "So Madam is not familiar with me? But didn't we just meet in the morning?"

Meng Jinyao shook her head hastily and explained sarcastically: "I, I just didn't react."

Gu Jingxi pursed her lips and smiled softly, and said with a warm smile: "Then Madam, you can react slower next time. When you don't react, don't ask who Gu Yaoling is, otherwise others will think we are not familiar with each other next time."

Meng Jinyao's face froze, she squeezed out an embarrassed but polite smile, and glared at him resentfully. Others were just making fun of her. What was he making fun of? He never mentioned his cousin, but his mother mentioned it occasionally, but that time, she usually called him husband instead of cousin, so she forgot about it afterwards.

Seeing this, Gu Jingxi stopped teasing her, turned to look at Qi Yunwen, and asked, "I asked my wife to come over, but I didn't call you, what are you doing here?"

Qi Yunwen choked at these words. Shouldn't he appear?

He shrugged helplessly: "When I came, your servant said you were in the study, so I asked him to take me to the study. How did I know that I didn't see you just now, and only saw my younger siblings coming?"

Gu Jingxi leaned against the door frame and asked quietly, "What's wrong with you?"

Hearing this, Qi Yunwen rolled his eyes at him angrily: "Yes, what should I do with a boring person like you if I have nothing to do? Are you so busy?"

Gu Jingxi asked again: "Is it an emergency?"

Qi Yunwen answered truthfully: "It's not that urgent, what's the matter?"

"Then you go back first and we'll talk tomorrow." Gu Jingxi looked indifferent, and after saying that, he stretched out his hand to pull the dazed little girl to his side, making enough room for him to get out quickly.

After hearing this, Qi Yunwen had a look of astonishment on his face. He had been a friend for many years. This was the first time he had been treated so coldly by Gu Jingxi. It had not been an urgent matter before, and Gu Jingxi did not ask him to go back and talk about it tomorrow.

He frowned slightly and said in confusion: "Gu Yaoling, I've already come, and you want me to leave now?"

Gu Jingxi raised his eyebrows slightly: "What else? You came here uninvited, and I just don't have time to talk to you."

Qi Yunwen smiled angrily: "Then what are you busy with?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "Busy about business."

Qi Yunwen laughed helplessly: "We are colleagues. Is there anything serious that I can't do with you? Come on, whatever it is, I'll help you with yours first, and then I'll solve my problem."

Gu Jingxi said quietly: "Do something with your siblings."

"Then I can accompany her with you."

After Qi Yunwen finished speaking, he later realized something was wrong. His probing eyes fell on Gu Jingxi and Meng Jinyao. His expression froze. The couple wanted to do something?

Is it what he thinks?

It's not dark yet and we're still in the study. Do we need to be in such a hurry?

He looked at the couple for a long time, then slowly moved his eyes down, and finally fixed his eyes on a certain part of his friend for two breaths, then quickly moved his eyes away, and said hurriedly: "Yao Ling, what's that? Don't get me wrong, I will No need to disturb me. You guys go about your business first while I go back. Farewell, you don’t have to see me off."

After that, he said no more, stood up, and left the study as quickly as possible. Before leaving, he pushed Gu Jingxi into the study and thoughtfully closed the study door for them.

Meng Jinyao knew that he had misunderstood something, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she hesitated: "Husband, isn't this a bad thing?"

Gu Jingxi said nonchalantly: "I don't pay attention to trivial matters, and he will deal with them by himself later. Now I listen to him talk nonsense, and in the end he has to deal with it himself, which is a waste of time."
