It's early morning.

Meng Jinyao had breakfast and was about to follow Gu Jingxi to Shou'an Hall to pay his respects to Mrs. Gu.

Just as she was about to get up, Gu Jingxi handed her a crutch.

Seeing this, she had a look of disgust on her face. After using a cane for several days, she was tired of it. She refused in her heart and refused with her mouth: "Go to greet the elders and go there with a cane. What does it look like?"

Gu Jingxi saw her expression of resistance and remembered how she usually disliked using crutches but had to use crutches. He slightly raised the corners of his mouth and advised in a gentle voice: "Madam's foot injury is not healed yet, so it's better to use crutches." Crutches are better.”

Meng Jinyao hesitated for a moment, but finally refused resolutely: "It's okay. My foot injury is almost healed. I just need to walk slower. I'll take two steps later. If it doesn't work, I'll use a cane."

Hearing this, Gu Jingxi didn't force her, and said warmly: "That's fine, then it's up to madam." After that, he handed the crutch in his hand to the maid beside him.

Meng Jinyao Shiran stood up and tried to take two steps. She felt that there was no serious problem, so she walked slowly outside the house.

However, as soon as she left the courtyard gate, she regretted it.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with the first few steps she took, but after a few more steps, the discomfort came over her. She still felt that it was better to have crutches. Walking without crutches was more difficult. Now her main force is on her right foot. It felt a bit limping when we started.

Gu Jingxi saw her expression was delicate, paused slightly, and asked, "Madam, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, let's go."

Meng Jinyao was very stubborn and refused to admit that she couldn't survive without the crutches. She took steps and continued walking slowly.

Gu Jingxi didn't expose her bravery and followed her with long legs, matching her snail-like pace.

However, the little girl walked really slowly and slowly. She took two or three steps before he took one.

He lowered his eyes and looked down, and what he saw was that the little girl's face was slightly tensed and her eyebrows were furrowed. It was obvious that her legs and feet were not very comfortable, but she pretended to be calm and walked forward slowly.

She is a girl with a naughty temper and refuses to admit defeat.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the little girl glancing at his legs several times. He didn't know whether she was envious or jealous that his legs were intact and he could move freely.

He raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, stretched out his arm, and said teasingly: "Madam, my human-shaped crutch is prettier than that wooden one. Since you don't like that crutch, why not change it to another one?"

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao paused and glanced sideways at him, seeing him looking at her with a smile, his eyes seemed to say: Come on, don't be brave. At your speed, you won't be able to reach Shou'an Hall at noon.

A good man does not suffer immediate losses.

Meng Jinyao said with disdain: "Although you're not very good-looking, you're pretty good." After saying that, she reached out to hold his arm.

Gu Jingxi chuckled: "It is a husband's honor to be able to get into Madam's eyes."

Qingqiu and Ningdong followed them. They obviously got along well with each other, but it was very likely that the Marquis had a sweetheart. It was difficult to understand how the Marquis managed to treat him well even though he had a sweetheart. Is their master so gentle and considerate?

Shou'an Hall.

Meng Jinyao and Gu Jingxi came side by side, arm in arm.

Mrs. Gu looked at them, and then her eyes fell on their hands. Looking at their intimate movements, the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, and she felt extremely happy. Her son and daughter-in-law had been married for some time, and now they were becoming more and more affectionate. The better, if there are no accidents, you can live a good life.

The eyes of others also fell on their hands, slightly surprised. They knew what kind of temper Gu Jingxi had. He seemed gentle, but in fact he was cold and aloof, making it difficult for people to get close. How could he have been so intimate with a woman in front of others? It seemed that Meng Jinyao was not a simple person, but she was able to subdue Gu Jingxi.

Meng Jinyao noticed everyone's meaningful glances, her face froze, and belatedly realized that she was still holding a human crutch, she silently put her hand down, and stepped forward to greet Mrs. Gu as if nothing had happened and saluted: "Daughter-in-law, greet mother."

Gu Jingxi also bowed to Mrs. Gu and said, "Son, I wish my mother well."

Mrs. Gu said kindly: "Good children, please sit down and talk."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Jingxi reached out and helped the little girl to sit on a chair nearby. The movement was very skillful, as if it had been done countless times, which shocked everyone present.

Even Mrs. Gu, who is used to seeing big scenes, was a little surprised. The last time her son and daughter-in-law came to say hello, they were not as disgusted as today. What happened today?

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but joke: "Some people used to say that the third brother was not close to women, cold and aloof, and he must not know how to care for his wife. Now it seems that they have made a mistake."

Mrs. Chen also smiled and said: "Isn't it true? I see that the third brother is very considerate to the third brother and sister. This kind of care is something that even the second master and I couldn't compare to back then."

Meng Jinyao smiled coquettishly, then glared at Gu Jingxi resentfully. If this guy hadn't scared her that night, she wouldn't have fallen and sprained her foot, and she would have been teased in front of others today.

Gu Jingxi didn't understand why he had made her unhappy again. He glanced at the people present and explained in a low voice: "Ayao's sprained foot is not fully healed yet."

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu was stunned and asked with concern: "Ayao's ankle is sprained? Is it serious?"

Meng Jinyao shook her head slightly: "It's a small problem, it's not a big deal, it's almost gone now, mother doesn't have to worry."

"You kid, you shouldn't move around much because of your sprained ankle, even if you don't come over to say hello." Mrs. Gu said, glared at her son, and said angrily, "Third brother, you are the same, A-Yao has inconvenient legs and feet. , why did you let her come?"

Gu Jingxi met his old mother's reproachful eyes, touched his nose innocently, and said, "It's my son who doesn't think well."

Meng Jinyao came to his rescue: "Mother, you can't blame your husband, it's your daughter-in-law who missed you and came here."

Regardless of whether what she said was true or false, Mrs. Gu felt very at ease after hearing this, and the smile on her face became more loving: "Good child, you have a heart."

The family chatted about their daily life, and the atmosphere was lively.

Suddenly, Mrs. Gu said: "Everyone is here today, and I also have something to say."

As soon as these words came out, the crowd fell silent. They all looked at Mrs. Gu. Seeing that her face was still gentle, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it shouldn't be anything important.

Mrs. Zhang said softly: "Mother, if you have any instructions, just say so. We, the juniors, will do our best to handle it."

Mrs. Chen also echoed: "Yes, mother, you just give orders."

Mrs. Gu nodded slightly, her eyes swept across the people present, wandering around Zhang and Chen for a moment, and finally turned her eyes to Meng Jinyao, and said slowly: "It has been a while since Ayao married. , I see that she has a stable personality. She is married to the third child, who is the daughter-in-law of the Hou family. According to the rules, the middle child of the family should also be handed over to her. "
