The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

The man's words were gentle and persuasive, slowly soothing Meng Jinyao's angry mood.

Originally she was indignant, gnashing her teeth in anger, and hating the person who proposed this law, but now she felt helpless, and at the same time she felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart.

After a moment, she raised her eyes to look at Gu Jingxi again. For no reason, she felt hope in her heart. With more people like Gu Jingxi, these unreasonable laws would gradually be improved.

She stared at Gu Jingxi for a long time and muttered: "Husband, I shouldn't have vented my anger on you just now."

Gu Jingxi shook his head slightly and didn't take it to heart. He said warmly, "It doesn't matter. Madam is a reasonable and sensible person. She was just angry for a moment."

Meng Jinyao was thoughtful and stared at him eagerly: "Can the Minister of Dali Temple directly participate in formulating and revising laws and regulations?"

Hearing this, Gu Jingxi laughed helplessly and said with a smile: "Madam, I advise you not to have such high expectations for your husband. Your husband is actually not that capable. Not only is he unable to do it, but perhaps no one can do it in the next few hundred years." It can be done.”

Meng Jinyao was speechless for a moment.

Gu Jingxi explained: "This is a law that has been implemented for thousands of years and is deeply ingrained in everyone's mind. It's just that the punishments are different in each dynasty. It is impossible to change it in a short while. We can only continue to educate people and make people think deeply. So you can slowly make changes."

Seeing that the little girl was wilting, Gu Jingxi added: "However, I can propose it to my husband, but there is no possibility of it passing."

Meng Jinyao blinked: "It's good to have some suggestions. Only when different voices appear can we promote reform."

She sighed softly as she spoke, feeling melancholy: "It seems that I can no longer sue my stepmother for poisoning her bastard. Unless there is a new turn of events, otherwise, even if she is sentenced to beheading, I, an innocent person, will be punished for suing my mother." Twenty canes and three years in prison.”

Gu Jingxi comforted her: "Madam, when the laws and regulations cannot give someone justice, you can still use your own methods to get it back. Now you can use your own methods to make her receive the punishment she deserves without reporting it to the official." . Before that, don’t think about whether you can sue her, get the evidence first and make her admit it.”

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao thought thoughtfully and gave an intriguing smile, her eyes full of ferocity: "That's right, death is not actually the most terrifying thing. Life is worse than death. Then let her live for a long time and survive. You can’t die without asking for it.”

Seeing this, Gu Jingxi said softly: "It's not good to be so violent at such a young age."

Meng Jinyao blinked her eyes, with a smile in her voice, and said in a brisk tone: "Isn't it taught by my husband to punish her with my own means? In this case, you have to satisfy me. Only in this way can it be regarded as revenge. I believe that I will be satisfied with the result. , my second brother will also be satisfied."

Gu Jingxi was stunned for a moment, let out a soft 'tsk', and laughed helplessly: "It seems that I have taught the child a bad lesson."

"How is that possible?" Meng Jinyao curled up her lips and smiled, her eyes sparkling, and she looked up at him with a smile. "My husband is guiding the children to develop new ideas. Don't get into trouble."

Gu Jingxi's face paused, looking at the bright smile on her face, the corners of his mouth also raised, and he asked warmly: "What are you going to do next, Madam?"

"Isn't it written about Aunt Qiao's weaknesses?"

As Meng Jinyao spoke, she turned to the last page, pointed to the line about Aunt Qiao's son, and continued: "Aunt Qiao only has one son, who is her lifeblood, but this son appears to be sensible and capable, and he caught the attention of Mrs. Sun. He was reused and became a steward of Zhuangzi, but secretly he engaged in prostitution and gambling.

"The reason why he was not exposed before is because Aunt Qiao has always been there to help him. I can take advantage of this to pinch Aunt Qiao's life and make her switch sides. As long as Aunt Qiao is willing to switch sides, I can take advantage of this." Things are much easier.”

Gu Jingxi glanced at her appreciatively, nodded and said, "Madam is smart, is there anything else you need to do for your husband next?"

Meng Jinyao thought carefully for a while, and then politely refused: "Thank you husband, but it is probably not needed for the time being. I want to give it a try myself. If necessary, can I borrow help from husband?"

Gu Jingxi reminded: "That's fine, but madam, please don't act rashly. You need to think carefully. In terms of manpower, madam can just tell me if you need it."

Meng Jinyao nodded gently, stuffed the letter back into the envelope, and changed the subject: "Husband, it's getting late. If nothing happens, why don't we go back to Wei Ruixuan first and have dinner later?"

Gu Jingxi responded: "Okay."

On the way back to Wei Ruixuan, the couple rarely had a common topic and had a great time talking.

The sun was setting in the west, and the warm orange sunlight fell on them, leaving two long shadows on the ground.

This scene fell in the eyes of Mrs. Gu who was not far away. She immediately stopped and looked at the couple talking and laughing. She smiled happily and said to Aunt Feng beside her: "It seems that Yao Ling is not He doesn’t know how to get along with the girl’s family, but you see, he and A-Yao are getting along very well now.”

Aunt Feng followed her gaze and saw the couple getting along harmoniously. She responded with a smile: "Old madam, you should be relieved now, right? The Marquis and Madam seem to be in a good relationship."

Mrs. Gu nodded with a smile: "This young couple seems to be doing well at the moment, but they have to keep it up."

-

That night, Meng Jinyao tossed and turned on the bed, her mind racing, thinking about how to set up a situation.

She has been looking forward to avenging Chengyu for many years, but due to lack of ability, she has never dared to act rashly. The only variable now is Aunt Qiao and Aunt Qiao's son, and she has to make good use of it.

There was someone tossing and turning around, and Gu Jingxi couldn't fall asleep. Seeing her turning over again, he opened his lips and said, "Madam, there are some things that cannot be rushed. The more anxious you are, the narrower your thinking will be, and the easier it will be to fall into a dead end."

Meng Jinyao was stunned when she heard the sound, turned around and looked around. Although the dim light could not see clearly, she could see that Gu Jingxi still had his eyes open, and asked, "Husband, you are not asleep yet?"

Gu Jingxi asked back, "How can I talk to you when I'm asleep?"

Meng Jinyao felt a little embarrassed and said apologetically: "Did I disturb your husband's rest?"

Gu Jingxi responded softly: "It's not an interruption, I happen to not be sleepy yet." He paused and asked, "Where are you thinking, madam? Why don't you tell me so that I can give you the details?"

Meng Jinyao shook her head in frustration and said in a low tone: "I didn't expect anything. My mind is a little confused."

Gu Jingxi said warmly: "Since you can't think of it, then have a good sleep and think again. Only when you are in a good mental state can your thoughts be clear."

Meng Jinyao responded, said nothing more, closed her eyes and fell asleep. Although she couldn't fall asleep, she didn't disturb the people around her by tossing and turning.

Seeing this, Gu Jingxi shook his head imperceptibly. He did have an idea, and it was a comprehensive solution. But if the little girl wanted to think about it by herself, then he should shut up first and believe that this little brain could come up with a good idea.
