In the afternoon, the hottest time of the day has passed.

Mrs. Zhang went to Shou'an Hall, ready to tell her mother-in-law the good news that Xiuyuan's daughter-in-law was pregnant. She had made her mother-in-law unhappy in the morning, and now there is a happy event. Maybe her mother-in-law would forget what happened in the morning when she was happy. Her anger dissipated.

Mrs. Gu had just gotten up from a nap. When she learned that she was here, she felt a little upset. She didn't know what she had done. She didn't want to see her, but everyone was already here, so she still asked the maid to invite them in.

After a while, Mrs. Zhang came in and saw her mother-in-law sitting on the throne with a calm face. She couldn't tell whether she was happy or unhappy. She stepped forward a few steps and saluted: "My daughter-in-law wishes my mother well."

Mrs. Gu said quietly: "Sit down and talk."

"Eh!"

Mrs. Zhang responded, moved to sit down under Mrs. Gu, and then told Mrs. Gu what happened in the morning. Finally, she said that Xiuyuan's daughter-in-law had been diagnosed as pregnant for more than a month.

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu's brows were filled with joy, and a long-lost smile appeared on her face. She immediately ordered Nanny Feng to go to her private treasury to get some supplements that pregnant women could take and send them to Mr. Jiang.

Mrs. Zhang was very happy when she saw this. This proved that her mother-in-law valued her great-grandson/great-granddaughter. The first child of the great-grandchild had a different meaning whether she was a girl or a brother. With a brother-in-law like this, the mother-in-law cannot even have a biological grandchild, let alone a biological great-grandson, so even if he is not a biological child, he will be valued.

The next moment, Mrs. Gu said in a deep voice: "My dear wife, you are about to be a grandmother. You should act more cautiously in the future, think more about everything, and don't make any mistakes."

Mrs. Zhang was scolded abruptly and did not dare to be dissatisfied. She quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, there will be no next time. Next time, my daughter-in-law must keep her eyes open and not be confused again. My daughter-in-law will definitely take care of Xuan Yi's marriage next time." I’ll make a decision after discussing with you.”

Mrs. Gu looked at Ms. Zhang intently for a long time. She didn’t know how many times she had said similar words to her. She was tired of hearing them. If she really knew there would never be a next time, then she wouldn’t be stupid this time. , said quietly: "It's good that you know. If nothing happens, you can go back first. I'm going to the Buddhist hall."

Ms. Zhang didn't dare to stay and make her mother-in-law unhappy, so she hurriedly responded, "Hey, my daughter-in-law will go back now and won't disturb her mother."

After Mrs. Zhang left, Nanny Feng said: "Old madam, you are teaching the eldest lady sincerely for the eldest lady's own good, but the eldest lady may not think so, for fear that she will feel resentful towards you."

Madam Gu said indifferently: "She has been resentful towards me for more than a day or two. You can think whatever you want. I have lived to this age and I don't mind who hates me."

Aunt Feng was stunned for a moment, and then sighed secretly. The old lady has reached the age of retiring. If it were someone else's old lady, she would have long since stopped doing things, but their old lady still has to worry about the younger generation's affairs from time to time. .

This morning.

Meng Jinyao and Gu Jingxi were having breakfast.

When a man eats, he chews slowly and carefully, making almost no sound when chewing. He seems to be more refined and elegant than the girl's family.

Meng Jinyao just looked at him like this, and she felt it was pleasing to the eye. No wonder some people said that you should marry a good-looking man, so that you can eat well, and your appetite will be better looking at that handsome face.

The slender white hand held the chopsticks, and the joints exerted force when picking up the vegetables. It became more and more obvious that the joints of the hand were clear and flawless, as if they were carved from fine white jade, and they looked beautiful and tight.

Gu Jingxi saw her staring at his hands eagerly, and followed her gaze. He found that he had picked up the last soup dumpling, thinking that she wanted to eat it, so he put the dumpling on her plate. , said warmly: "Madam, eat it."

Meng Jinyao was stunned, lowered her head and stared blankly at the steamed buns on the plate: "For me?"

Gu Jingxi smiled: "Madam, you were looking at my hand just now. Didn't you want this Xiao Long Bao?"

Meng Jinyao's face froze. In fact, she thought his hands were pretty, so she couldn't help but look at them a few more times. She didn't expect that it would cause misunderstandings. Sure enough, beauty was misleading. She hurriedly covered it up and said, "I'm just greedy, thank you." Husband."

Gu Jingxi didn't think much and just said: "Madam, if you like it, then eat more. If you don't have enough, let the kitchen cook it tomorrow morning."

Meng Jinyao replied: "That's not necessary. Let's eat something else tomorrow. You'll get tired of eating the same thing every day. You need something new."

Gu Jingxi smiled and asked, "Madam seems to like eating very much?"

Meng Jinyao said matter-of-factly: "It's not that I like eating very much. I just eat more delicious food when I can. Who knows if I won't be able to eat anymore one day?"

Gu Jingxi looked up at her and saw that the little girl had bulging cheeks and a satisfied look on her face, which was a bit cute. The corners of his mouth turned up and his eyes were gentle: "Don't worry, madam, such a day will not happen. My husband has always done official business and abided by the law. Do not engage in corruption or bribery, nor bend the law for personal gain."

Meng Jinyao believed this. He was a good official, but he said: "Sometimes if you are unlucky, you will end up in jail even if you have no fault. Maybe one day you will go to jail, and I will follow you and eat in jail." Woolen cloth."

As soon as she finished speaking, Meng Jinyao was stunned, pursed her lips, and secretly cursed herself for being a crow.

Gu Jingxi laughed softly: "What Madam said is not impossible, but some people will choke to death if they drink water. You can't stop drinking just because you might choke to death. Don't you think so?"

"Too."

Meng Jinyao nodded lightly, understanding what he meant. She couldn't just resign and go into seclusion just because she might be framed by political opponents.

At this moment, Xia Zhu came in and reported, "Master Marquis, Madam, the Crown Prince is here."

Prince?

Meng Jinyao was just about to stretch out her chopsticks to pick up the crystal dumplings. After hearing this, she paused and was stunned for a long time before realizing that this was her cheap son.

It's no wonder that she couldn't react immediately, because her son has not shown his face in front of her for a month. She has almost forgotten this person after not seeing him for so long. Last time, he had a fight with Xiuwen and Chengzhang, and he even slandered her. The elder was punished by Gu Jingxi and was banned for a full month and copied the "Book of Filial Piety" fifty times.

Since she married into the Gu family, Gu Xiuming has been fined several times, including being grounded twice, both for a month.

She was still having breakfast, and Meng Jinyao didn't want Gu Xiuming to come over and answer her, lest she lose her appetite later, so she said: "Xia Zhu, please ask the prince to wait in the side hall first, and the marquis and I will go there later. past."

Xia Zhu retreated in response.

Meng Jinyao looked at the man sitting opposite and asked, "Husband, has our eldest son's confinement period expired?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "I didn't pay attention. The confinement period must be over, otherwise he wouldn't dare to step out of Qingyuxuan."

Meng Jinyao nodded, it was quite lively now. Gu Xiuming had lifted his grounding, and he was probably going to cause trouble for her soon.
