Wei Ruixuan.

After returning to Wei Ruixuan, Meng Jinyao looked at her two maids: "Qingqiu, Ningdong, when we were in the back garden just now, did you notice any clues?"

Ningdong shook his head slightly and looked at her blankly, indicating that he found nothing and didn't even know what the question she was asking was about.

Qingqiu's mind was much more delicate than Ningdong's, and he was also meticulous when observing things. However, he found some problems and replied respectfully: "Madam, I discovered that the prince has been pretending for so many days, and finally the clues are revealed."

Ningdong glanced at her in astonishment and hurriedly asked: "Qingqiu, nothing major happened just now. How did you find out that something was wrong? Why do I feel that the prince has not changed at all?"

Meng Jinyao said warmly: "Qingqiu is right, he has shown signs." She said and gave Ningdong an angry look, "I asked you to pay close attention and observe the things around you before. If you don't observe carefully, you will definitely not be able to tell anything."

Ningdong blinked innocently: "Madam, I have been staring at them just now. I only saw that the eldest girl was guilty and didn't find other problems."

Meng Jinyao said to Qingqiu: "Qingqiu, come and talk to her."

Qingqiu nodded, parted his lips and said: "The eldest daughter beat Aunt Li, and the prince was so angry that he would definitely be angry and call for punishment. However, compared to the eldest girl, the grudge between the prince and his wife is deeper. Since he can repent , treat your wife as your mother, how can you care about the older girl? This is all in the past, and everyone should be treated equally."

Hearing this, Ningdong suddenly realized: "Madam, I understand, because the prince is pretending, he subconsciously knows who he should pretend to be in front of, so he will subconsciously pretend to be the best, and some people who are not very important, even if the prince I'm just pretending, and I don't take it too seriously. However, judging from the way the prince handles things today, he is much calmer than before."

Meng Jinyao glanced at her appreciatively and said with a smile: "Our Ningdong is very smart and can understand everything at once."

Ningdong pursed his lips, smiled brightly, and then said: "Madam, since we are sure that the prince is pretending to be a dutiful son in front of you, we must be careful, because he may one day take action against madam."

Meng Jinyao nodded and said: "It's necessary. The rebellious son suddenly became a dutiful son. He is probably planning a big move against me."

Ningdong was thoughtful and asked hesitantly: "Madam, do you want to mention it to the Marquis? It's better to let the Marquis know his true face, otherwise the Marquis will think that he has really changed for the better and have no doubts about him. .”

Meng Jinyao pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "If I can find out, the Marquis can also find out. I have a grudge against Gu Xiuming. If I tell it, it will alienate the relationship between father and son. Let him find out by himself."

Qingqiu echoed: "Madam is right, it's better not to do this kind of thing. The Marquis and the Crown Prince have had a father-son relationship for many years, and the Second Madam and the Marquis have only been in love as husband and wife for less than a few months. How can a few months be enough to compete with each other?" Many years of father-son love?"

Ningdong didn't think so: "Madam, I think the Marquis won't think too much about it if you said it."

Meng Jinyao shook her head slightly, her eyes fell on the green plants outside the window, her eyes were deep and unpredictable, and she said slowly: "Ningdong, Mr. Hou is indeed a decent person, fair in dealing with things, good in conduct, and very responsible. In some matters You can choose to trust him unconditionally. For example, when Sun murdered Chengyu, I even borrowed the person to do it from him.

However, some things should not be taken for granted, especially emotional matters. If you take things for granted and take yourself too seriously, you may turn yourself into a clown. I don’t think I am better than him. Sons are important. Of course, I don’t think he would abandon me for his son if I didn’t do anything wrong. "

After hearing this, Ningdong pouted and lowered his head, falling into silence.

Qingqiu also fell silent. She understood the master's thoughts, and she understood the master's situation even more. The master was cautious in everything, because he did not have the capital to be willful. The previous quarrel between the master and the prince was just a trivial matter. In addition, it was the prince who disrespected the master first. First, the master is the one who takes charge. But if the master comes to the Marquis to talk nonsense when the prince has "become better", and keeps saying that the prince has no good intentions, then the prince will inevitably feel grudge against the master. Their masters never fight against him. The battle of control.

Meng Jinyao glanced at them and said softly: "Gu Xiuming hasn't done anything to me now. I'm just being careful. I won't do anything else for now. If I take the initiative to deal with him, with the Lord Hou's insight, my methods will definitely be hidden." But his eyes are tantamount to self-destruction.”

Ningdong nodded and said with a firm tone: "Madam, he is definitely not as forbearing as you. You have endured the eldest son's matter for so many years before taking action against Sun. He will definitely not be able to tolerate you for long. Wait until he The Marquis will not let him off lightly if he shows his flaws."

Meng Jinyao smiled: "Yes, so let's not do too many unnecessary things."

At this time, there was noise outside. It was Gu Jingxi who had returned from work. The master and servant immediately fell silent and stopped talking about the matter.

After a while, the man wearing a crimson official robe walked in and saw the three masters and servants looking towards him in a tacit understanding, especially his little wife, whose almond-shaped eyes were watery, smart and bright, and her eyes were eager. Looking at himself, he was slightly stunned, then pursed his lips and smiled softly: "Why are you looking at me like this?"

Meng Jinyao replied calmly: "It's nothing, I just looked over when I heard the footsteps. It's really my husband who is back."

Just as Gu Jingxi was about to reply, the maid's voice came from behind, saying that Gu Xiuming was here, and he said quietly: "Let him in."

Meng Jinyao's face froze slightly. Why did she feel that Gu Xiuming sent someone to guard the door? Otherwise, how could you have arrived in such a timely manner? In order to gain favor in front of Gu Jingxi, Gu Xiuming really tried his best to come to Wei Ruixuan so diligently.

Gu Xiuming has recently been motivated and studious, saying that he wants to make up for the homework he has missed these days. His diligence amazed Mrs. Gu, saying that she had never seen her grandson be so diligent and studious, and she even praised him in front of the people in the third room.

This time, Gu Xiuming was no exception. He still came to ask for advice and asked Gu Jingxi if he was free. Gu Jingxi agreed and took him to the study to teach.

When it was dinner time, Meng Jinyao saw their father and son coming out of Wei Ruixuan's study and said warmly, "Son, why don't you stay and have dinner together?"

Gu Xiuming did not refuse and followed her words: "Okay, my son has never had dinner with his father and mother."

In an instant, Meng Jinyao felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly. She originally wanted to pretend to be affectionate and say a polite word, but she didn't expect that this traitor was not polite to her at all. Although she was depressed, she still ordered the maid: "Go and prepare the meal, Prince. Stay for dinner and get an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks."

Gu Jingxi saw that the little girl's smile was a little forced, and her eyes were slightly resentful. It was rare to see the little girl's deflated look, so he curled the corners of his lips imperceptibly.
