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

Side hall.

Gu Xiuming sat on the chair and waited quietly.

Not long after, when Meng Jinyao and Gu Jingxi came over, they saw him sitting upright, whom they hadn't seen for a month.

Meng Jinyao looked at him calmly. She didn't know if it was an illusion. After not seeing him for a month, this cheap son seemed to be a little different. He seemed calmer and less stupid.

When Gu Xiuming saw them coming, he quickly stood up and saluted them respectfully: "Son, please give your regards to your father and mother."

Seeing this, Meng Jinyao looked at him again and seemed to have become much calmer.

Gu Jingxi said quietly: "No need to be polite, just sit down and talk."

After he finished speaking, he and Meng Jinyao went to the master's seat and sat down on the left and right.

Gu Xiuming picked up the thick stack of paper full of words that he had placed on the small coffee table, then moved forward, handed the stack of paper to Gu Jingxi, and said: "Father, this is my son's reflection in Qingyuxuan The "Book of Filial Piety" I copied during this period has been copied a hundred times, please take a look."

Gu Jingxi took the pile of paper. After hearing his words, his expression paused and he asked, "I remember asking you to copy it fifty times."

Gu Xiuming looked apologetic and remorseful, and replied: "Father, my son felt that copying it fifty times was not enough to make him feel at ease. My son bumped into his second uncle and slandered his mother's reputation. This was really unfilial. After deep reflection, he I regretted it, so I copied it fifty times more to express my apology to my second uncle and my mother."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Meng Jinyao, knelt down, and apologized sincerely: "Mother, my son is unfilial. He bumped into his second uncle. He shouldn't have been disrespectful to you many times, let alone slandered your reputation. These days, my son often thinks of me. He was ashamed of what he did and felt that he was not worthy of being a son. From now on, the son will change his mind and be a good person. He will definitely live a good life and respect his mother in the future. He also asks his mother to forgive his unfilial son and cultivate his virtue."

After that, Gu Xiuming kowtowed three times to Meng Jinyao. When he kowtowed the last one, his forehead was pressed against the floor and he didn't get up, as if he was waiting for Meng Jinyao to express his stance. If Meng Jinyao didn't forgive him, he wouldn't get up.

Such a sincere repentance and apology shocked Meng Jinyao, and she was a little caught off guard. She was obviously a rebellious child a month ago, but now she sincerely admitted her mistakes and changed her ways?

Is it possible that Gu Xiuming has really turned around and become sensible?

It's impossible. Gu Xiuming hates her so much and wants her to die. How could he suddenly change so much and apologize to her and express his filial piety to her?

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

You can't blame her for overthinking and judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart. It's really because the changes have been too big. If Gu Xiuming really reflected on it and changed for the better, then he would have been severely punished when he was caught after escaping from marriage. When you are confined to the ancestral hall to think about your mistakes and copy family rules a hundred times, you should reflect on your mistakes, change your past, and start a new life.

Not only Meng Jinyao, but also Gu Jingxi, who had always been calm and composed, was confused by his actions. He looked at his son kneeling on the ground in surprise with his forehead still pressed to the ground. This look of sincere remorse was really touching, but It was just a little sudden.

Not hearing the couple's reply, Gu Xiuming kowtowed three more times and said sincerely: "Mother, my son really knows that he was wrong. Please forgive your son this time. My son promises that there will never be a next time."

The juniors sincerely admit their mistakes. If the elders do not express their position, they will be unreasonable and unforgiving.

Therefore, no matter how doubtful Meng Jinyao was, she expressed her position at this time, with a loving mother's attitude, and her tone was gentle and loving: "Son, the ground is cold, don't kneel down, get up and talk first."

Gu Xiuming knelt and remained unmoved: "Mother, my son is guilty. If you don't forgive your son, your son will never be able to kneel down."

Meng Jinyao was stunned after hearing this. She couldn't figure out what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd. She frowned imperceptibly. Regardless of whether he was sincere or not, she acted with him and said with a gentle and loving smile. : "How can there be an overnight feud between mother and son? Since you have already acknowledged your mistake, mother will forgive you. Let the past things pass. You get up quickly."

"Son, thank you for your mother's forgiveness. It was your son's fault before, and he will never do it again. He will be filial to his father and mother." Gu Xiuming said so sincerely that he almost shed two tears. After he finished speaking, he kowtowed to Meng Jinyao. He shook his head three times before getting up.

Meng Jinyao saw his red forehead and thought to herself: He was quite cruel to her. He knocked so hard that red blood oozed out.

Gu Jingxi looked at his son with an undistinguished expression, his eyes were deep, he looked at it for a long time, and then said: "Xiu Ming, since you have sincerely repented, we will not mention the past things. In the future, you must respect your elders, be friendly to your brothers, and study hard." Study hard and strive to obtain fame and honor as soon as possible, so as to honor your ancestors."

Gu Xiuming nodded respectfully: "Yes, father."

Gu Jingxi said: "Stop standing, sit down and talk first."

Gu Xiuming responded, returned to his original position and sat down. As soon as he sat down, he seemed to think of something again. He opened his lips and said, "Mother, it was my fault that I ran away from my marriage earlier. You lost your face. I was ignorant before, and I will do it again." The blame lies with you. For that, I owe you an apology."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao half-narrowed her eyes, glanced at him indifferently, and replied: "I won't mention the past. I am your father's wife now. I have no fate with you. If there is fate, it is not The current situation.”

Gu Xiuming nodded: "What you said is true, but it is indeed the son's fault. It brought shame to you and your father. What happened next also damaged the reputation of your brother. It was really the son's fault. After that, the son again Go apologize to your brothers."

Gu Jingxi's face darkened and he said softly: "Now that you know how ridiculous it was before, you should think twice about doing things in the future and don't make any more jokes. If you make a joke, it's not your fault alone. The entire Hou Mansion will follow. Being laughed at.”

Gu Xiuming hurriedly said: "My son will obey his father's teachings."

Afterwards, Gu Jingxi told him some great truths. Seeing that he seemed to listen, he also tested his knowledge. He had not studied recently and his homework had declined a lot, so he told him to study hard.

Gu Xiuming agreed one by one, saying that he would go back to the academy to attend classes tomorrow, and study diligently from then on to strive for success as soon as possible.

There was nothing wrong with his attitude. Gu Jingxi, regardless of whether he really knew his mistakes or pretended to know his mistakes, was quite satisfied with his current attitude, so he added: "Maybe your grandmother hasn't seen you for a long time. Go and say hello to your grandmother.”

Hearing this, Gu Xiuming hurriedly replied: "Father, my son is going to go to his grandmother's house later."

Gu Jingxi nodded slightly: "Go over now."

Gu Xiuming responded, said goodbye to his elders, and left.

Meng Jinyao looked at Gu Xiuming's leaving back with a deep look in her eyes. It wasn't until the figure disappeared from her eyes that she looked away. She turned to look at the man beside her and asked in confusion: "Husband, you said our family is so grown up today." Did you take the wrong medicine?"
