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

In the evening, the sunset glowed half of the sky.

In Wei Ruixuan, Meng Jinyao directed the maids to rearrange the potted plants in the yard, and several little maids were busy.

Because Meng Jinyao wanted to raise lotus leaves, lotus flowers, and small koi in two large water tanks, an open space had to be moved, and the potted plants originally placed had to be moved and placed in a better-looking shape.

Suddenly, Meng Jinyao saw a tall figure and looked intently, only to see the handsome and graceful man walking slowly. The man frowned slightly at the moment, and there was a gloomy look between his eyebrows, as if he was in a bad mood. , then stepped forward and asked: "Husband, are you in a bad mood?"

Gu Jingxi stopped, looked at her with his eyebrows stretched, and asked, "Why do you ask, madam?"

Meng Jinyao replied: "I saw your husband frowning, so I guessed it."

Gu Jingxi replied quietly: "It's a little annoying, but it's not a big problem."

Meng Jinyao looked at him steadily and saw that he didn't seem to be willing to talk, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"What are you going to do, ma'am?"

Gu Jingxi glanced at the maids who were busy there, feeling doubtful.

Meng Jinyao pointed to the vacant space and said with a smile: "I am going to bring two large water tanks and put them there to raise lotus leaves and lotus flowers, and then a few small koi carps."

"Madam, you like lotus?" Seeing her nodding, Gu Jingxi looked around the entire courtyard, pondered for a while, and said, "Wei Ruixuan is the largest courtyard in the house. If Madam likes it, why not dig a small lotus pond in the yard? "

Dig a pond and plant lotus flowers?

Meng Jinyao was stunned, a little flattered, and then shook her head: "That's not necessary. It's a waste of money and manpower. Just get two big water tanks. If I don't like lotus flowers in the future, I'll have to find someone to fill the tank. It’s quite troublesome.”

Gu Jingxi nodded: "Okay, just follow Madam's advice."

After a while, Gu Jingxi entered the room. Chunliu took two steps forward and whispered: "Madam, the Crown Prince went to see the Marquis this afternoon."

Meng Jinyao was stunned after hearing this, a little confused, but when Chunliu motioned her to look in the direction of the house, she instantly understood that Gu Jingxi was in a bad mood, maybe it had something to do with Gu Xiuming.

After a moment, she asked curiously: "Chunliu, how do you know?"

Chunliu lowered her voice and explained to her in a voice that only two people could hear: "This slave has some friendship with the boy who is waiting in the study in the front yard. When I met him in the afternoon, I heard him say that, but he only saw the prince. I went to find the Marquis, but I didn’t see what happened to the Crown Prince when he left, so I can’t tell whether it was because of the Crown Prince.”

Meng Jinyao nodded lightly. Chunliu was a very good girl. Ever since he expressed his loyalty to her, he had always paid attention to the goings-on in the house. He would tell her if there was any trouble. Now that Gu Xiuming was acting uncharacteristically, Chunliu was also paying special attention to Gu Xiuming's goings-on. Even Qingqiu and Ningdong didn't expect that Chunliu had already taken care of many things. Although this girl was Gu Jingxi's maid, she was very easy to use.

After a while, the maids had arranged the potted plants according to Meng Jinyao's instructions.

Meng Jinyao took a look, nodded with satisfaction, turned to Chun Liu and told Chun Liu: "Chun Liu, it's getting late, go and prepare dinner."

Chunliu responded: "Yes, madam."

-

The summer sun is fierce, and it's not even noon yet, and it's already shining brightly.

The heat from outside the house rolled in. Even though Wei Ruixuan's yard was in a good location and was warm in winter and cool in summer, it still felt hot.

Fortunately, ice cubes were placed in the house to cool down and dissipate the heat. The temperature inside the house was very comfortable.

Meng Jinyao was fiddling with the abacus to reconcile the accounts. Her mother's dowry shop and Zhuangzi were previously run by the Sun family. Although they were now in her hands, the managers were trained by the Sun family, so she had to do such things as reconciliation. Take it very seriously, otherwise you won’t even know you’ve been cheated. Of course, the stewards who can no longer be used by her will have to be replaced, and the ones who are safe will be used for the time being.

Qingqiu opened the door and came in, moved to her side, and said, "Madam, Chan'er is back."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao stopped fiddling with her abacus, raised her head, and said, "Let her in."

Not long after, Chan'er came in and saluted her.

Meng Jinyao asked: "Is there something wrong over there?"

Chan'er took a few steps forward, with a respectful tone, and replied in a low voice: "Madam, because Mrs. Meng saw ghosts many times, she asked the mage to come back and open an altar to practice magic. The mage's spells were not good, and they were only effective for a few days. Mrs. Meng saw ghosts again every night. , in a trance, and in panic, I didn’t dare to sleep at night these two nights, so I slept during the day instead.”

Meng Jinyao half-squinted her eyes, raised the corners of her lips slightly, and her smile was a little cold. She said in a gentle tone, meaningfully: "It's true that Aunt Qiao, as a good slave, can make the master's work and rest disrupted, day and night. Woolen cloth?"

Chan'er heard the sound and knew what it meant, and replied: "Madam, I will remind Aunt Qiao."

Meng Jinyao asked again: "Besides, is there anything else?"

Chan'er shook her head slightly. There was something not very important. After thinking about it, she finally mentioned: "Because Mrs. Meng has provoked unclean things, Uncle Meng now dare not step into Mrs. Meng's yard. He also said that Mrs. Meng Madam has been suspicious all day long."

Meng Jinyao smiled nonchalantly: "It's not surprising, it fits my father's temperament very well. Husband and wife are like birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes." She paused as she spoke, "Just follow the original plan first. If you have nothing else to do, please step aside."

Chan'er responded and retreated.

Ningdong smiled and said: "Madam, are ghosts really that scary? Mrs. Sun doesn't even dare to sleep at night."

Meng Jinyao shook her head slightly and smiled mockingly: "Ghosts are not scary. The scary thing is that there are ghosts in your heart."

Ningdong asked curiously: "Madam, do you think my uncle knows about the evil things Sun has done?"

"If he knew, it would be impossible for him to have doted on Sun for so many years. Chengyu is also his child. He is smart and clever, and he is also quite favored by him." Meng Jinyao said firmly, and the look on Meng Dongyuan's face when she hugged her brother flashed in her mind. Love and affection cannot deceive others. No matter how much Meng Dongyuan liked Sun, he would not allow Sun to kill his son.

Ningdong said: "Then Mr. Sun probably doesn't dare to tell whose ghost he saw now."

"If you don't tell me now, I will tell you later." Meng Jinyao said, then she told Qingqiu, "Qingqiu, get ready. I will go to Lingyun Temple tomorrow to offer incense and will stay at Lingyun Temple for a day or two."

Qingqiu nodded in response.

Ningdong felt that he had nothing to do, so he hurriedly asked: "Madam, where is the slave? What is the slave doing?"

Meng Jinyao laughed angrily: "You girl, are you working hard? Are you itching all over if I don't let you do something?"

Hearing this, Ningdong stuck out her tongue playfully and smiled congenially: "This slave is not destined to work hard. I just want to help Madam do things. I always feel like I have nothing to do when I am free."

Meng Jinyao laughed helplessly: "You still say it's not a life of hard work? That's just the life of a hard worker. You can't be idle."
