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

Seeing the little girl's confident look, Gu Jingxi asked with interest: "What are your plans, madam?"

Meng Jinyao turned to look at him and saw the man looking at her with a gentle expression. For some reason, she had an inexplicable sense of trust in him. She only hesitated for a moment and told him her plan.

Gu Jingxi listened to the little girl's words. In fact, the little girl's plan was still very immature to him, but a little girl raised in a house had limitations in what she could do, so that was all she could do.

He nodded slightly and replied with two words: "Not bad."

When Meng Jinyao heard his affirmative answer, the smile on her face deepened. She put her elbows on the table and her hands on her chin, and asked with a smile: "Do you have a better plan, husband?"

Gu Jingxi turned to look at her, nodded and said, "Yes, but it's not suitable for you."

Meng Jinyao said "huh?" without knowing why, and raised her eyes to look at him in confusion, intending to ask.

Gu Jingxi said warmly: "Little girl, it's better not to use bloody methods."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao curled her lips. After all, she didn't dare to tell Gu Jingxi that she was actually more willing to bleed if there was a simple and crude way. She didn't need to be merciful to the murderer, but she had no choice or ability, so she could only set up a He set a trap for others.

Gu Jingxi added: "Madam, just follow the original plan."

Meng Jinyao glanced at him and wondered: "Husband, you are so optimistic about my plan without giving me any suggestions? What if the plan fails?"

Gu Jingxi smiled and replied warmly: "If you fail, you will still be a husband."

He had a smile on his face and spoke in an understatement and matter-of-fact manner. Meng Jinyao was stunned, feeling that he was coaxing the child, as if he was watching a child play a game, letting the child play as much as he wanted, and having the support of his elders if he lost.

Despite this, Meng Jinyao still felt at ease for no reason, and even the slightest touch spread in her heart. Apart from her grandfather, Gu Jingxi was the only one who could talk to her like this. He would support her if anything happened, give her the cover, and let her go with confidence. Do.

In fact, Gu Jingxi could marry her and leave her alone, as long as he didn't treat her badly in terms of food and clothing, then no one would be able to find fault with Gu Jingxi.

Gu Jingxi met her blank eyes and asked with a smile: "Why are you looking at me like this, madam?"

Meng Jinyao shook her head slightly and replied: "It's nothing, I just feel that my husband treats me better than he treats his son. No wonder our grown-up son is angry."

Gu Jingxi was stunned, then chuckled: "Madam deserves this. Madam is more well-behaved and sensible than that rebellious son."

Meng Jinyao blinked and asked, "What if I am more rebellious than him?"

Gu Jingxi said with a smile: "That's a good education. I can't argue with a child who is younger than my own son."

Meng Jinyao was choked by these words. She believed that she could get favored treatment from Gu Jingxi because of her young age. However, if she thought about it, if Gu Jingxi were ten years younger, he probably wouldn't talk to her so calmly.

After a moment, she reminded: "Actually, many women are already mothers at the age of sixteen."

The implication is: She is actually no longer a child, but an adult.

Speaking of age, she suddenly remembered that it was also because of her age that she got married this year. Logically speaking, Gu Xiuming was only sixteen years old and was in no hurry to get married. The second son, Gu Xiuhong, who was seventeen years old, got married first because of her. I'm too old to wait.

When she was born, her grandmother was very anxious when she saw that the Gu family did not mention her marriage to Gu Xiuming. She was afraid that the Gu family would look down on the down-and-out Meng family and the Meng family would not be able to get this marriage, but she did not dare to go. Gu Jiati.

It wasn't until the end of last year, when her current mother-in-law hosted a banquet and invited her grandmother to the Gu family to discuss marriage, that her grandmother's worries dropped and she made arrangements for her to leave the cabinet.

Gu Jingxi didn't seem to understand what she meant and said with a smile, "Madam is also a mother."

Meng Jinyao: "..."

Forget it about a rebellious son like Gu Xiuming, she didn't want a son like Gu Xiuming, and his life would be shortened by a few years.

-

The next day.

With a sad look on her face, Grandma Qiao followed her son Li Cheng to the appointed private room of the teahouse to wait. Her son had never owed gambling debts before, but he had never owed so much money.

Not to mention the five thousand taels in the gambling house, even the one thousand taels in Zhuangzi's income was a hole that she couldn't fill.

She is the madam's confidant, but she is about to make a deal with the eldest girl. The eldest girl has a grudge against the madam. What she does is undoubtedly betraying the madam who has been kind to her.

She was already in agony, but now she has been waiting for a cup of tea at the agreed time and place. Before Meng Jinyao showed up, she felt even more anxious and restless.

Li Cheng is also anxious. After all, six thousand taels is not a small amount of money. If the eldest girl goes back on her word, even if he is not beaten to death by the people in the gambling house, the master knows that he embezzled the one thousand taels from Zhuangzi's income and went to the gambling house. , and will beat him half to death.

Aunt Qiao looked at her son and said sadly: "Cheng'er, I told you not to gamble before. Nine times out of ten you'd bet, you'd lose. You promised well every time, but then you turned around and threw my words away. Now, That's good, I owe so much money, how can I fill this huge hole?"

Li Cheng looked remorseful and said in a sincere tone: "Mother, my son will really change this time. As long as mother helps her son pay back the money, he will change his mind and be a different person in the future."

Aunt Qiao's eyes were red, and she was struggling in her heart: "A huge sum of six thousand taels, making a deal with a big girl, and we don't know what she will ask us to do. If we do something detrimental to the madam, how can I be worthy of the madam?"

Li Cheng said disapprovingly: "Mother, you also saved my wife once before and almost died. The kindness you felt back then has long been repaid."

As he spoke, there was a hint of anger in his tone: "Are you going to disregard your son's life and death for the sake of your master? My wife is very important to you, but my only son is not important? Since my mother doesn't care about my son, I will Go to the gambling den and tell them that you don’t need any money, but you will only die, and at worst, they will beat you to death and leave you lying on the street.”

After saying this, Li Cheng stood up suddenly, pretending to leave his private room and go to the gambling house to die.

How could Aunt Qiao be willing to let her only son die?

If she was really willing, she would not follow her son to the appointment. The wife was very important, but the son was also important, and she really had no choice.

Seeing that her son was about to leave, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to hold him, and cursed in a low voice: "You debt collector, I really owed you a debt in my previous life, and I have come to collect debts in this life. Now it's the time agreed with the eldest girl, why are you still not there?" ?”

Li Cheng was also worried: "The eldest lady may have been tripped up by something, let's wait a little longer."

About two-quarters of an hour later, there was a knock on the door. Li Cheng stood up and quickly went to open the door. As soon as the door opened, he saw Meng Jinyao, who had arrived late, and the two maids beside her.
