The atmosphere fell into silence.

Seeing that his master was silent, Ningdong thought that she was feeling sad, so he calmly comforted her: "Madam, please don't be sad."

Meng Jinyao said softly, "Huh?"

Ningdong calmed down and spoke more firmly: "Madam, you are the royal wife. There is no way that woman can surpass you. Besides, she is probably already married."

Meng Jinyao smiled and chuckled: "What are you thinking about? I'm not sad."

Seeing that they didn't seem to believe it, she added: "Really, I'm not sad."

Looking at what he said, it felt like he was hiding something.

The two maids looked at each other and agreed that the lady was telling the truth. The Marquis took out the things that could not be given to Bai Yueguang from the warehouse and put them in the study.

In addition to pens, inks, papers, inkstones and some books, the things in the study are relatively valuable items. The set of headscarves is so treasured by the Marquis, how can Madam, as a wife, not have any emotions in her heart?

Seeing how nervous the two maids were, Meng Jinyao said frankly: "I admit, I am not completely unmoved when I hear this kind of thing, but so what?"

As she spoke, she shrugged nonchalantly and said with a smile: "She is in front and I am behind. She is the past and I am the present. What should I care about with her? Lord Marquis treats me well, and I am in the Hou family." As long as the capital is enough to establish a foothold in the government, I don’t care about the rest. After all, I was not after his love from the beginning, and it is not my concern to whom he gives his heart to."

Qingqiu and Ningdong were silent after hearing this. Their master was very transparent, but also very distressing. The girl who was only sixteen years old and had her first love affair. The girl who had a beautiful vision of marriage before leaving the court, now she doesn't even dare to be sincere. That's too much to ask for, Gu Xiuming's bad things had a huge impact on their master.

Meng Jinyao said again: "Okay, don't mention this again in the future. I have more important things to do than the love between a man and a woman."

Ningdong felt sorry for his master and felt panicked. He forced out a smile and replied, "Madam, Brother Lin said that everything is going as we expected, and we should be able to close the net in a few days."

Meng Jinyao nodded: "That's good, you go out first, and I'll rest for a while."

Hearing this, Qingqiu and Ningdong looked at each other, shook their heads imperceptibly, and then retreated.

After leaving the room, Ningdong asked in a low voice: "Qingqiu, is Madam really okay with this?"

Qingqiu replied: "I can't say for sure."

After a long time, Qingqiu quietly entered the room, glanced at the soft couch by the window, and saw that her master was sleeping soundly. It seemed that they were really worried. The master was not worried about such a thing, and she was secretly relieved. Take a breath.

It's dusk, and it's dinner time.

Ningdong served Gu Jingxi rice, but when he put it in front of him, he was a little bit angry, his movements were a bit rough, and the movement was a bit loud, and the rice bowl made a "bang" sound when it was placed on the table.

Gu Jingxi was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Ningdong in surprise. Seeing that Ningdong's brows were filled with anger, as if he was trying to show off to him, he was stunned again, a little confused. Now his status at home is so low? Even a maid dared to show off in front of him?

Qingqiu instantly broke into a cold sweat because of what Ningdong had done.

Ningdong was stunned. She did it subconsciously and didn't think too much when she did it.

Meng Jinyao immediately smoothed things over and said, "Husband, this girl Ningdong feels uncomfortable when she thinks of her deceased elders. Don't argue with her."

After Gu Jingxi heard this, he stopped pursuing it.

Meng Jinyao looked at Ningdong and said warmly: "Ningdong, I don't need you to wait here anymore. It's a nice night in the house. You can go for a walk in the yard to relax."

Ningdong responded quickly and then stepped back.

Qingqiu glanced at her back and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Madam originally said that Ningdong was much calmer, but now it seems that she is still not calm enough and her emotions are easily exposed.

Afterwards, Meng Jinyao also called Ningdong to him, beat her hard, and scolded her with a serious face: "Ningdong, am I too indulgent of you in normal times? I have become more courageous, and I dare to be disrespectful in front of my master. Have you forgotten all the rules you learned?"

Ningdong's eyes were red and she choked with sobs: "Madam, this slave is acting like this because she feels angry."

Meng Jinyao looked coldly: "I'm not even angry, why are you angry?"

She took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Don't forget how your master got this marriage. He was forced to marry me. He had no intention of marrying me before he married me. He wanted nothing but what he wanted. Isn’t that normal for a girl? Of course, who told him to teach his son poorly and repay his debt to his father, and he himself has no objection to marrying me. "

Ningdong looked at her master's angry eyes and her heart trembled. Tears burst out of her eyes and fell down like broken beads. She knelt down and burst into tears: "Madam, please don't be angry. I know my mistake and I won't dare to do it again."

Meng Jinyao softened her expression and said sincerely: "Ningdong, you have to understand that our current stable life is hard-won and we should not cause trouble again. It's better to just ignore some things. Your master, I am not the kind of person who gets sad at the slightest dissatisfaction." People from Qiu, this little thing won’t bother me.”

Ningdong nodded seriously: "Madam, I understand."

Meng Jinyao said: "Okay, you go out, remember there will be no next time, otherwise I will find you an in-law's family, add a dowry and marry you off."

Ningdong's heart tensed and he opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he did not dare to say anything more and retreated.

After Ningdong retreated, Qingqiu said warmly: "Madam, please calm down. After this time, Ningdong will definitely not dare to do it next time."

Meng Jinyao sighed softly: "It's because I indulge her too much that I'm so brave."

Qingqiu quietly glanced at the master's face and explained for Ningdong: "Madam, Ningdong was able to calm down last time. This time, it should be because the Marquis brought the set of masks out of the warehouse and was too worried about you. In this way, she is afraid that the Marquis will not be able to let go of that girl and wants to renew their relationship, and then you will be in a difficult situation."

Meng Jinyao replied: "I know, but she shouldn't be so bold in front of the Marquis. I didn't blame her this time. How can I be more aggressive next time?"

Qingqiu opened her mouth and asked hesitantly: "Madam, Ningdong's worry is not unreasonable. Aren't you worried?"

"What am I worried about?" Meng Jinyao shook her head and laughed, and said unhurriedly, "I am the wife of the royal family. As long as I don't make any mistakes, he can't divorce me for no reason. No matter how much he likes other girls, the most he can do is bring her into the house. Become my concubine and submit to me."

After hearing this, Qingqiu looked at his master blankly for a long time and understood what his master meant.

Meng Jinyao said warmly: "But you two girls, don't think too much. I have prepared all the worst-case scenarios. But with Mr. Hou's character, I thought that even if he took a concubine, my fate would not be the same." Too miserable."

She said and smiled: "But he once promised me that he would not take a concubine unless he breaks his promise."

At that time, she felt that Gu Xiuming was a rare and deep lover for Li Waner, and Gu Jingxi thought that she was interested in Gu Xiuming, so she said that the traitor was not a good match. Later she asked, "What about the husband? Is he a good match?" "

Gu Jingxi once said this to her: "I don't know how to take concubines. As for whether I am a good match or not, that depends on what my wife thinks."

She thought, Gu Jingxi wouldn't break his promise, right?
