When Meng Jinyao heard this, she glared at the man, bit her back teeth, and hummed softly: "Do you think I am your son? It's embarrassing to cry when it hurts!"

She could remember that when Gu Xiuming was beaten in the ancestral hall, he screamed in pain and couldn't stop his tears from falling, leaving behind the demeanor of a noble man from a noble family that he always maintained.

Gu Jingxi looked at those misty eyes, which were clearly filled with tears in pain, but still pretended to be strong. His smile deepened, but he agreed: "Yes, Madam is an elder, how can she be the same as the younger generation?"

Meng Jinyao was speechless for a moment. She slowly stood up and looked at her feet. She saw a pair of big hands with distinct joints. One of them held the sole of her foot, fixing her foot and not allowing her to move. The other hand kneaded and pressed her. Red and swollen ankle.

The hands that originally held pens and books were now serving her feet.

The warm touch pressed against her skin, and the skin covered by his hands was slightly hot. She suddenly felt uncomfortable, and felt a trace of shame in her heart. She subconsciously wanted to withdraw her feet again.

"Don't move, just wait."

Gu Jingxi held her foot tightly, not allowing her to move. He poured some medicinal wine and continued to massage the injured area.

Meng Jinyao stuttered and said: "Husband, do you want Qingqiu to come? How can I let you do this kind of waiting work?"

Gu Jingxi paused and looked up at her. He saw her cheeks were flushed and she was staring at his hands with a blank expression. He couldn't help but froze for a moment. He lowered his eyes to his hands again and saw that the little girl's feet were held in his palms.

The little girl's feet are as white as jade, small and exquisite, delicate yet moist, and her toes are round and lovely in light pink, and feel soft in the palm of her hand.

Just now he was concentrating on applying medicine to the little girl without paying too much attention. Now when he saw it, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable, even though he didn't have any charming thoughts.

The limp foot was lying in his palm. It wasn't a matter of putting it down, nor was it a matter of continuing to hold it.

Seeing this, Qingqiu's hesitant voice sounded: "Master Marquis, do you want your slave to come?"

Gu Jingxi hesitated for a moment, then refused: "No need, just wait."

He felt that he was not afraid of the shadow slanting because he was upright, but the substitution in the middle seemed like he was guilty, so he insisted on continuing to massage the little girl's red and swollen ankle.

Meng Jinyao's lips moved, but she didn't say anything after all. She thought to herself: That's all, we're sleeping together, what's the problem with giving her some medicine?

After a while, Gu Jingxi felt that he was almost done, so he let go of the jade foot and went to the side to clean his hands.

Qingqiu He Ningdong glanced at the basin where Gu Jingxi used to clean his hands. He suddenly opened his eyes wide, looked at each other, and opened his mouth to speak but stopped.

Finally, Qingqiu shook her head slightly, and Ningdong couldn't bear to say anything. In fact, she wanted to say that the basin of water was used by the lady to wipe her body. Thinking that the lady fell asleep after drinking, it was difficult to take a bath, so she filled the basin with water. He came in to wipe herself off Madam and change into clean clothes, but she hadn't had time to throw them out yet, so saying it now would only increase embarrassment.

Gu Jingxi said softly: "It's getting late now, you all should go down and rest."

Qingqiu and Ningdong responded, quickly packed their things and left.

Gu Jingxi said: "Madam, go to sleep."

Now it's the ugly hour, entering the second half of the night. After struggling for so long, Meng Jinyao has woken up twice. Although she is conscious now, her head is dizzy. She is so groggy that she doesn't feel comfortable. She answered softly and then fell asleep.

-

The next day.

Meng Jinyao woke up at three o'clock in the morning. She drank a lot of fruit wine last night and didn't sleep well. She still had a headache. She pushed herself up and called the maid in to wait on her.

Her feet were not healed yet and it was not suitable for her to get out of bed and walk around. She sat on the edge of the bed and let the maid wash and clean her face.

When Qingqiu was about to wait on her to dress, he looked at her left ankle in particular, frowned slightly, and said: "Madam, your foot is still swollen, but it is much better than last night. I will give you medicine again. Last night, I will give you some medicine." Watching the Marquis give you the medicine, you can also clearly see the technique."

Meng Jinyao nodded repeatedly: "Okay."

She didn't want to wait for Gu Jingxi to come back from work before applying medicine to her. She was quite uncomfortable when Gu Jingxi applied medicine to her last night.

"Madam, I will undress you first." After Qingqiu said this, he started to undress her.

Meng Jinyao was confused: "What are you doing taking off your clothes?"

Qingqiu replied: "When you fell down last night, you hit your arm and got bruises."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao suddenly changed, and her voice suddenly rose: "Did Mr. Marquis apply medicine to my arm last night?"

As soon as Qingqiu heard this tone, he knew what she was concerned about, and hurriedly explained: "Last night, the slave gave you medicine, only on your ankle. After looking at it, the Marquis felt that the slave just lightly applied the medicinal wine, and the swelling effect was not good. , then I’ll give you the medicine again.”

Meng Jinyao breathed a sigh of relief.

When Qingqiu was giving her medicine, he suddenly said: "Madam, actually the Marquis is quite concerned about you. You came home late last night. The Marquis was afraid that something might happen to you, so he sent someone to look for you and waited at the door for a long time. .”

Meng Jinyao's face paled, recalling what happened last night, her calm heart was filled with ripples. Her cheap husband really cared about her, and he was one of the few people who cared about her life and death.

Qingqiu added: "Seeing the Marquis like this, I feel relieved. No matter whether he has someone in his heart or not, he will never treat you badly."

Meng Jinyao smiled: "I have to thank my father-in-law and mother-in-law for this."

Qingqiu was stunned and asked inexplicably: "What does this have to do with the old marquis and the old lady?"

Meng Jinyao replied: "The two elders have educated Gu Jingxi very well. Not to mention his knowledge and ability, he is also cultivated and responsible. No wonder he was the husband of every noble girl's dream when he was young."

Qingqiu smiled and said: "Master Hou is not old now. Although he is ninety-nine in his twenties, his face looks young. Others would believe him if he said he was twenty-three or four years old."

Hearing this, the curvature of Meng Jinyao's mouth deepened: "Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have gotten married in the first place, right? He is indeed the most handsome man in the capital, and his face resists aging."

Looking back now, Gu Jingxi's unusually handsome face was part of the reason why she was able to change her mind and marry Gu Jingxi to be Gu Xiuming's mother.

If Gu Jingxi was an old man with wrinkles on his face, she would probably choose between Gu Xiuhong and Gu Xiuwen. Gu Xiuwen is one year younger than her. She doesn't like her younger brother, so she would choose Gu Xiuhong, who is one year older than her. The worst thing he could do was lose his seniority and suppress Gu Xiuming.

Qingqiu chuckled: "Madam, don't let the Marquis hear what you said, otherwise the Marquis may mistakenly think that you are interested in him."

Meng Jinyao said indifferently: "If you have no other choice, except for the conditions, you must choose someone who looks pleasing to your eyes. Otherwise, how uncomfortable would it be to face a face that you don't like? He has the conditions and a face. With a good-looking face, he will definitely be chosen first.”

At this moment, Ningdong came in with brisk steps and a smile. When he saw Meng Jinyao, he quickened his steps.

Meng Jinyao saw the joy on her face and asked warmly: "Ningdong, what are you so happy about?"

Ningdong arrived in front of her, lowered his voice, and could not hide the excitement in his tone: "Madam, there is news over there that the fish has been hooked."
