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

Meng Jinyao and Song Xinning had dinner on the boat and watched the night view on the lake.

There was fruit wine provided for the guests in the boat. On a whim, the two of them had a few drinks and talked about the interesting things that happened in various houses in the capital recently. They felt very comfortable.

Before they knew it, when the boat docked and they landed, it was already three quarters to one hour.

At this time, more than half of the tourists were on the lake, and there were far fewer people visiting the night market on the street, making it seem a bit deserted.

Song Xinning glanced at the sparse painted boats on the lake and said in surprise: "On a whim, we chatted for a little longer. I didn't expect it was already so late, but we haven't talked so happily for a long time."

Meng Jinyao smiled and said, "Aning, let's go back home first and make an appointment another day. Otherwise, if we continue chatting, it will be too late to get home."

Song Xinning responded: "Hey, it's time to go back. Fortunately, my mother went to my grandfather's house, otherwise she would have to nag me again if she went back so late."

The two of them parted ways and went home.

On the carriage.

Meng Jinyao leaned on the big soft pillow and closed her eyes to rest her mind. Although the fruit wine she drank tonight was delicious, it was a bit too strong. She also drank several glasses. Now her head was groggy and she would fall asleep soon.

When Qingqiu and Ningdong saw this, they looked at each other and sighed inaudibly.

Even if the wife acts calmly and doesn't care, they also understand that the wife can't actually not care at all. The husband's heart is with other women, and the wife is a little uncomfortable and depressed, so she I drank a few more glasses of fruit wine.

If she had a choice, Madam would definitely choose a husband who loves her, respects her, and protects her. After all, before leaving the court, Madam, like other girls who were about to get married, expected harmony and love after marriage. Sweet life, confusion and longing for married life, but the results are not satisfactory.

In order to let her sleep more peacefully, Qingqiu asked the driver to drive slowly.

The carriage drove slowly and took double the time to return to the Changxing Marquis Mansion. When the carriage stopped at the gate, it was already midnight.

Meng Jinyao hadn't woken up yet, but Qingqiu woke her up. She wanted to continue sleeping, but after Qingqiu shouted a few times, she reluctantly opened her eyes, and was helped down by the two maids in confusion. carriage.

After getting off the carriage, Meng Jinyao was about to let Ningdong knock on the door. When she looked up, she saw the door open. There was a tall man standing at the door. Next to the man was a servant guarding the door, standing respectfully beside the man.

Gu Jingxi?

Meng Jinyao suddenly sobered up a lot, and stared blankly at the man standing at the door. The warm yellow light of the lantern at the door fell on his handsome face, and he could clearly see his stern and gloomy expression at the moment.

Seeing this, Meng Jinyao was stunned again, a little confused. She didn't understand what he was doing standing here like a door god, with a straight face, which was scary.

She asked curiously: "It's so late, who is your husband waiting for here?"

The man glanced at her and replied quietly: "Wait for my wife."

As soon as these words came out, Meng Jinyao's heart skipped a beat and she felt a little unbelievable.

The next moment, because she was distracted, she stumbled, accidentally tripped on her right foot, and fell straight down, letting out an exclamation of "Yeah".

Fortunately, she was just about to go up the steps when she fell directly to the ground, avoiding further injuries from rolling down the steps.

The incident happened so suddenly that the two maids Qingqiu and Ningdong didn't react at all, and their master fell to the ground.

Gu Jingxi's face suddenly changed, and he subconsciously stepped forward. However, he was far away, and the distant water could not save the nearby fire. He just watched the little girl fall to the ground in front of him. He silently put down his outstretched hand and stepped forward quickly. .

Meng Jinyao was stunned. She forgot about the pain for a moment, and her mind went blank. Which lady from the Hou family would fall to the ground in such a humiliating posture in front of the door of her house when she came home, in front of her servants?

Wait until tomorrow, will the embarrassing incident of her wrestling in front of her house spread throughout the Hou Mansion?

Gu Jingxi frowned when he saw her lying on the ground unresponsive. He knelt down and helped her up into a sitting position, and asked in a gentle voice, "Madam, where did you fall?"

Hearing the sound, Meng Jinyao came back to her senses and faced those concerned eyes. She subconsciously moved her body, then pointed to her arm that had just landed on the ground and replied: "My arm hurts, but I can still move it. "

Gu Jingxi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled helplessly: "We're already at the door of the house, what's the hurry? It's okay now, just fall down."

Meng Jinyao choked: "..."

Can she say that she fell because she was frightened and distracted for a moment?

Gu Jingxi helped him up, but the little girl couldn't stand still and threw herself directly into his arms. She gasped and grabbed his clothes with both hands. Her two delicate eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and her face showed a look of pain and forbearance. .

He hurriedly asked: "Madam, what's wrong?"

Meng Jinyao frowned: "My feet seem to be sprained."

Her foot hadn't moved just now and she couldn't feel it. When she stood up, she later realized that her left foot hurt and she couldn't exert any strength.

Gu Jingxi lowered his head and looked down. The little girl lifted her left foot off the ground. He frowned even more. He picked her up by the waist and walked towards the house with long strides. Qingqiu and Ningdong were stunned again, and then followed closely. .

When he reached the door, Gu Jingxi paused and looked at the servant guarding the door with warning eyes.

The servant looked panicked and said hurriedly: "Master Marquis, Madam just accidentally sprained her foot outside. She didn't fall at the door of the house."

Meng Jinyao was held in Gu Jingxi's arms. She was a little confused. She looked blankly at the man who was holding her and walking in a hurry. The man frowned and his face didn't look good. She couldn't tell if he was angry, and she felt a little uneasy. , didn’t dare to say anything.

Gu Jingxi smelled the faint aroma of wine on her body and saw that her cheeks were flushed. It was obvious that she was infected by the alcohol. She was already a little drunk. He asked quietly: "Madam, have you been drinking?"

Meng Jinyao came back to her senses and said nonchalantly: "Drink, drink a little, what's wrong?"

Gu Jingxi asked again: "Who are you with?"

Meng Jinyao was shocked after hearing this, and cursed in her heart: The question was so detailed, could it be that she suspected that Hongxing was cheating on her?

However, she still answered truthfully: "Master Qi's niece, her name is Aning. My husband should have met her. I am with her, and there are several maids, all women."

Gu Jingxi glanced at her and explained: "I don't doubt Madam's intention, I just want to know whether the people who drink with Madam can be trusted, but I'd better drink as little as possible next time out. You can drink whatever you want at home. The girl's home is Accidents are easy to happen when drinking outside, especially when there are no trusted friends around."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao was stunned for a moment, then gently nodded and said "Okay", then asked curiously: "Husband, why are you waiting for me at the door? I am such a big person, but it's not like I don't know the way home. "

Gu Jingxi replied quietly: "Madam didn't leave a message for the maid where she was going before she went out. She has never stayed home at night before. I sent someone to look for Madam, but she couldn't find her, so I had to wait at the door. Recently in the capital at night It’s a bit unsettled, there were two murder cases, and the victims were both women under the age of twenty.”

His voice was calm and calm. Although he never said the word 'worry', there was worry in every word.
