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

After breakfast, Meng Jinyao took Qingqiu and Ningdong out. Her legs and feet were healed and she could move freely.

Now that summer has arrived, it’s time to put on light summer clothes.

Meng Jinyao thought of Meng Chengzhang at Lingshan Academy, so she went to a clothing store and bought him several sets of summer clothes according to Meng Chengzhang's size.

Then he went to the study room and chose a good set of Four Treasures of the Study for him, encouraging him to study hard. When he was about to ask the maid to pay the bill, he remembered that Xiuwen from the Dafang family was also in the academy, so he bought an extra set.

Finally, he went to a snack shop and bought Meng Chengzhang's favorite preserved fruits and meats, which he would have sent to Lingshan Academy tomorrow.

Ningdong saw that she bought them all for Meng Chengzhang, and asked softly: "Madam, why don't you buy some for yourself?"

Meng Jinyao replied: "I don't have to worry about food and clothing in the Hou Mansion. When the seasons change, the embroiderer will make clothes for me, so there is nothing I need to buy. But for my second brother, Mrs. Sun will make a show of preparing summer clothes for him when he is at home." , I won’t care about this when I go to the academy.”

Hearing her mention the Sun family, Qingqiu remembered that she had something else to do when she went out today. She estimated the time and reminded: "Madam, there is something important to do later."

Meng Jinyao paused, her eyes became dark, and the corners of her mouth raised: "Let's go, it's time to close the net, let's go and watch the show first."

Ningdong also remembered the business, and the corners of his mouth also raised, and he was slightly excited: "Madam, let's go there quickly. If we arrive early, we can wait a while, but if we arrive late, we will miss it."

Meng Jinyao responded and walked towards the carriage parked aside.

On that side, two young men in the alley tried their best to run forward, but the people chasing them surrounded them. No matter how fast they ran, they were intercepted.

These two people are Li Cheng, the son of Grandma Qiao, and Lin Rui, a servant of the Zhou family, whose pseudonym is Lin Dashan, and they are Li Cheng's new gambling friends.

The person who besieged him was the best thug of the gambling house. He owed money to the gambling house and refused to pay it back. In addition to coming to collect the debt, he would also beat him every time he met. If the amount was a large amount, his life was possible.

The thug showed a ferocious smile: "Run, let me see where you are going!"

Li Cheng's heart tightened and he broke into a cold sweat. He subconsciously approached Lin Rui, who looked stronger than him. He felt regret for no reason in his heart, and at the same time he complained. If he had known this, he would not have listened to Lin Dashan's instigation. The more he gambled, the bigger the bet was. Just hand.

Lin Rui saw that there were people in front and behind him, so he stood in front of him quite generously, and said in a low voice: "Brother Li, you will leave first later, and I will distract them. Brother Li doesn't have to worry about me. I really owe money to the gambling house." It’s you who is the one, they will probably beat me up severely, but they won’t do anything to me.”

Upon hearing this, Li Cheng felt less resentful and was not polite to him. He replied, "Brother Lin, be careful later."

Lin Rui nodded, a smile flashing across his eyes.

At this point, the leader waved his hand, and those big hands immediately rushed forward.

Lin Rui was flexible, bent down and got out from under the arm of one of them, and shouted: "The money is in my hand, if you want the money, come after me." After that, he ran away.

The thugs were stunned for a moment, and Li Cheng took this opportunity to slip away.

Soon, the thugs discovered his motive, and half went after Lin Rui, while the other half went after Li Cheng.

It is unknown whether the thugs caught up with Lin Rui, but the other half of the thugs caught up with Li Cheng soon, surrounded him, punched and kicked him, and beat Li Cheng until he begged for mercy.

At this moment, a shout came from not far away: "What are you doing? Are you still violating the law in broad daylight?"

The thugs heard the sound, paused, and followed the sound. They saw a beautiful young woman sticking her head out of the window of the carriage, looking at them with angry eyes.

When Li Cheng heard a slightly familiar voice, he looked up and saw that it was Meng Jinyao. He didn't care about anything else and just wanted to survive, so he hurriedly called for help: "Big girl, help the little one!"

Meng Jinyao looked at him steadily for a while, then said hesitantly, "Are you Mother Qiao's son?"

Li Cheng nodded repeatedly: "It's the little one, big girl, help me!"

Meng Jinyao asked in surprise: "Manager Li, what on earth is going on?"

Before Li Cheng could answer, the thug stretched out his leg, kicked Li Cheng hard, and said to Meng Jinyao: "Madam, is this your servant? You can let us go, he owes us Yongsheng." The gambling house costs five thousand taels, as long as you pay back the money, we will release him immediately."

After hearing this, a look of shock flashed across Meng Jinyao's face. She didn't seem to expect that Li Cheng would owe money to the gambling house. She glanced at Li Cheng in surprise and said to the leader: "He is the son of Grandma Qiao, the most trusted son of Madam Yongchang." , I am also the steward of Zhuangzi, can I spare you five thousand taels? I will naturally return the money to you tomorrow."

Hearing this, Li Cheng's pupils suddenly shrank. He had been beaten so badly just now that he didn't dare to tell himself his family name, so the eldest girl directly exposed his identity. After that, the people from the gambling house found Yongchang's house, and the uncle and his wife knew about it. If this happened, then he, the Zhuangzi steward, would no longer want to do anything.

After hearing this, the chief of thugs signaled the others to stop, stretched out his legs and kicked Li Cheng lightly, and said with a smile: "It turns out he is the son of the countess's confidant, you should have told us earlier, you should have told us earlier I will give the Yongchang House a bit of a thumbs-down, after all, the Yongchang House and the Changxing Marquis House are related by marriage."

After the leader finished speaking, he turned to look at Meng Jinyao and said again: "This must be Mrs. Gu. Today we will give Mrs. Gu this face and spare this boy, but it is only natural to pay back debts."

Meng Jinyao said with a firm tone: "My mother is a countess, and she has a life-long friendship with Aunt Qiao. Isn't it just five thousand taels? I will definitely pay it back for him."

Her words made Li Cheng tremble with fear and break out in cold sweat, wishing she had never appeared.

The leader said: "Since Mrs. Gu has said so, let's give him a few days of grace and give him ten days to pay off."

After saying that, he bowed to Meng Jinyao, then waved his hand to signal the minions to let go of Li Cheng, and the group left the alley.

Meng Jinyao glanced at Li Cheng, who was lying on the ground with a bruised nose and face. She said "good people" will do the best, and asked the driver to help him up. He asked Li Cheng to sit in the front seat of the carriage with the driver and took him to the hospital.

But Li Cheng didn't get on the carriage, and knelt down directly in front of Meng Jinyao: "Big girl, please save the little one. I will work as a cow and a horse to repay your great kindness."

Meng Jinyao was stunned and asked incomprehensibly: "Manager Li, your mother, Aunt Qiao, is my mother's confidant. Considering your mother's relationship, my mother will take care of this matter for you. Why do you need me to help you?" She said in a low voice. Smiling, "Besides, it's not like you don't know my relationship with my mother. You are Mother Qiao's son. Why should I help you?"

Li Cheng was shocked. He had forgotten about this. The relationship between the madam and the eldest girl was like water and fire. He was the son of the madam's confidant, the eldest girl saw him and offered to save him when she passed by. It was already a kindness.

Li Cheng was so sick that he sought medical treatment. Now he had no choice. He could not bring this matter to his uncle and his wife no matter what. After all, it was more than just a gambling debt of 5,000 taels. He prayed: "Miss, can you lend me a step to speak?" "
