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

Meng Jinyao leaned against the window and watched Li Cheng limping out of the teahouse, and she gave an intriguing smile.

Ningdong moved closer to her, looked down at Li Cheng on the street, and said, "Madam, I just saw your lack of interest in Manager Li and thought you were going to give up on him as a chess piece."

Meng Jinyao shook her head slightly. How could she easily give up the chess piece that she had spent time, money, and manpower on to set up a trap?

She smiled and said: "It's all about acting, Grandma Qiao is a smart person."

Ningdong asked: "But will Aunt Qiao betray the Sun family for Manager Li?"

Meng Jinyao half-squinted her eyes and said in a faint tone: "The master is very important, but the only son is equally important. There are many people who betray the master for the sake of their own flesh and blood. Maybe Aunt Qiao can be one of them?"

Ningdong nodded: "Yes, the Sun family was once kind to Aunt Qiao, but Aunt Qiao also saved the Sun family, and the kindness has been repaid."

Meng Jinyao watched Li Cheng disappear around the corner, and the direction Li Cheng was walking was the Yongchang Mansion. She slowly looked away and said softly: "Lin Rui should go back, let's go to the Zhou Mansion."

The three masters and servants left the teahouse and headed to Zhou Mansion.

The only daughter of the Zhou family, Mrs. Zhou, died in childbirth, and she had no sons, uncles or nephews. Since the death of Mr. Zhou, the door of the Zhou mansion has always been closed, and the only granddaughter, Meng Jinyao, only comes back occasionally.

Ningdong stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Not long after, an old servant with plain clothes, gray hair, but kind-hearted face came out and opened the door.

This person is none other than Lin Rui's grandfather, Uncle Lin, who has been an old servant of the Zhou family for decades.

When Mr. Lin saw Meng Jinyao, a smile immediately appeared on his face. He said with a kind smile: "Cousin, you are back. Come in quickly."

Meng Jinyao nodded gently, called "Uncle Lin", and then stepped into the house.

Uncle Lin asked with concern: "Cousin, have you had lunch?"

Meng Jinyao replied: "I've used it."

In fact, they didn't have lunch, but the master and the servant had some pastries to cushion their stomachs on the way here. In the current situation of the Zhou Mansion, there are only a few servants, and the food purchased every day is rationed.

She came back suddenly today, and the servants in the house were unprepared. If she wanted to stay for a meal, the servants would have to go to the market immediately to buy vegetables and come back to cook, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive. It would be better to finish the business and let her go out to the restaurant to eat later.

After a moment, Meng Jinyao asked again: "Uncle Lin, is Lin Rui back?"

Uncle Lin replied: "That boy just came back not long ago. Does my cousin want to see him for something?"

Meng Jinyao nodded and said, "I have something to do with him."

Hearing this, Uncle Lin didn't ask any questions, took Meng Jinyao to the flower hall, and then went to find his grandson.

Not long after, Lin Rui followed Mr. Lin to the flower hall and bowed respectfully to Meng Jinyao. Mr. Lin left without disturbing their business talk. After all, at his age, he couldn't help the girl.

Lin Rui asked: "I wonder if my cousin has anything else to say?"

"You did a good job today." Meng Jinyao first affirmed his efforts, and then said, "Lin Dashan lured some of the gambling gang's thugs for his friends. He was seriously injured and needs to rest and recuperate. In the next period of time, Can’t appear in front of people.”

Lin Rui looked for a moment, then nodded and said, "Don't worry, cousin, unless you tell me, I will never appear in front of Li Cheng rashly, and 'Lin Dashan' will recover from his injuries when he appears again."

Meng Jinyao smiled with satisfaction and asked warmly, "Can you read?"

Lin Rui answered humbly: "Young man is not talented, he only knows a few big words."

Meng Jinyao asked again: "Will you be able to settle accounts?"

Lin Rui replied: "Yes, my grandfather taught me how to calculate accounts when I was little."

Meng Jinyao nodded slightly, pondered for a moment and then asked: "My village in the suburbs of Beijing is short of a steward, are you willing to go?"

These days, she feels that Lin Rui's ability is acceptable. It happens that there is a Zhuangzi in her mother's dowry who needs to be replaced, and it is suitable for Lin Rui to be the steward.

Firstly, it’s because Lin Rui is capable.

Secondly, because Lin Rui is one of his own and can be trusted, Zhuangzi's income is very good and he will not make false accounts and cheat money.

The villages and shops included in her mother's dowry had been managed by the Sun family for so many years. The original stewards had been replaced by the Sun family long ago. Now those stewards were either trained by the Sun family, or were disloyal and had defected to the Sun family.

Now that she has taken over, the Sun family's people will naturally have to be replaced. They all have to be replaced. They can't find so many reliable people at the same time, so they can only temporarily replace the most unpleasant people, and slowly observe the others. Take your time and leave what you can use for her.

Lin Rui didn't expect that such a good thing would happen to him. The cousin directly promoted him to be the manager of Zhuangzi because of his performance. Although he was allowed to leave the house to find a job, how could he do well under his master?

The opportunity was rare, so he did not refuse and agreed: "I will live up to my cousin's expectations and take care of Zhuangzi for my cousin."

Meng Jinyao said: "Then you recover from your injuries first, and then go there after you recover."

Lin Rui responded respectfully. He knew that it was not good for him to show his face at this time, otherwise it would be bad if Li Cheng saw that he was his cousin's man, and the cousin would also have to spend time removing the original manager.

Meng Jinyao said again: "You take good care of your injuries. I will go back first. I will let Ningdong inform you then."

Lin Rui answered again and sent Meng Jinyao's master and servant to the gate.

After leaving Zhou Mansion, Meng Jinyao took Qingqiu and Ningdong to a random restaurant and had lunch before heading back home.

Back at the Changxing Marquis Mansion, Meng Jinyao wrote a letter and then sent a servant over, instructing him to send the summer clothes, the four treasures of the study and snacks that he bought for Meng Chengzhang in the morning to Lingshan Academy. One of the sets of the four treasures of the study was for Gu Xiuwen. She As an aunt, Gu Xiuwen must have taken care of her brother in the academy, so it was appropriate to give him something.

After doing this, Meng Jinyao felt a little tired. She had been busy for the past half day and was about to take a nap when Mrs. Zhang came to talk to her again.

Ever since Gu Xiuwen entered Lingshan Academy through Gu Jingxi's relationship, Mrs. Zhang had some misunderstanding and thought that her youngest son might be adopted into the third bedroom. Therefore, she was particularly kind to Meng Jinyao and would occasionally come to Wei Ruixuan to talk to her.

Meng Jinyao patiently chatted with Ms. Zhang and learned some things about each family from her. By the time Ms. Zhang left, it was already Youshi.

At this time, Gu Jingxi had returned from work. After entering the house, he saw the little girl's face looked tired, but her eyebrows were curled up and she smiled like a cunning little fox. He asked curiously: "Madam, she seems very happy today?"

Meng Jinyao heard the sound and looked up. The man wearing a scarlet official robe was walking towards her. She replied: "I have thrown the bait for so long, and now the fish is hooked. It can also be said to be a dog. Of course I’m happy.”

Gu Jingxi asked with interest: "Which dog?"

Meng Jinyao didn't hide it from him: "My stepmother Sun's loyal lackey."

Hearing this, Gu Jingxi glanced at her unexpectedly and reminded: "Madam, please be careful. Dogs can bite people. They can bite their owners and they can bite you."

Meng Jinyao was stunned for a moment, then said immediately: "Don't worry, husband, I've got a handle on him so that he doesn't dare to resist."
